SAM ]. ROBERTS

The above is a good picture of one OF
the most ambitious and enterprising ed
itors in Kentucky. Entering the BUSH
ness as a couLtry correspondent, he has
for the last 10 years filed all the posi-
tons and gone all the gaits, till he is
now editor.in.chief OF the largest and
most influential republican daily paper
in Kentucky. little over four years
ago he came to Lexington from Ohio
and established the Leader. He was
told that a republican daily paper could
not succeed anywhere in Kentucky,
much less at the Blue Grass capital, but
nothing daunted, he went TO work and
his success has been phenomenal. Start.
ing out on a small scale, he devoted his
entire energy to collecting and printing
the news, and the Leader soon became
recognized as a newspaper. Increasing
in size as it increased in wealth and in
fluence, it has grown TO the dimensions
OF a metropolitan publication, last sun
days issue being 10 pages OF bright and
entertaining matter The paper is four
years old now and is shortly to be print
elk on its own perfecting press in mag
nifcent building owned by it and the
Stock Farm.
Mr.. Roberts is a whole-souled, genial
gentleman, a favorite With the members
OF his profession, as we'll as with all who
know him, and possessed OF youth. a
lovely young wife and a splendid news
paper property, he ought to be and
doubtless is very happy man. There
is absolutely nothing mean about him
except his politics and as he never OBJ
trudes his views on that subject in pri'
vate intercourse, one would never sus-
pect him guilty OF being the rantanker
Gus, roaring and red-hot republican he
shows himself when he thinks the occa.
sion demands it.

Judge Durham's Action Sustained by His
Republican Successor.

II. A. Sommers sends this from Wash.

News
THAT chickens will come home TO

ed in political sense one day last week
by little episode in the treasury de.
partment. 1t is a well known fact that
Judge Milton Durham was turned out
OF his position as controller of the treas
ury by the present administration he.
cause he refused to allow the accounts OF
John |. Davenport, election inspector for
New York, after President Harrison had
approved them. Mr. Matthews, his sue
cessor, did what Judge Durham refused
10 40. Last week John |. Davenport APP
peared before Controller Matthews with
bis expense account for supervision OF
the Congre ssiOnal elections in New York
in 1890 -identically the same kind OF ac-
counts that Judge Durham refused to
approve two years before. Controller
Matthews told Mr.. Davenport that he
could not certify To snch an account.
Mr.. Davenport then went to the presi-
dent, got his approval of the account and
returned to the treasury with it. Con-
troller Matthews still declined to APP
prove, putting himself exactly in the
same position that hal cost Judge Dur
ham his official scalp. As the action of
the controller in such matters is final,
Davenport would have been several
thousand dollars short but for the fact
that Matthews old decision was found
given when he succeeded Judge Dur
ham, and when confronted with that
document he had to giye in. His action
sustained the justice of Judge Durhsm's
position"

How Men Wear Their Cuffs.

y
1t is quite interesting 10 study the diff
ferent ways men have Of wearing their
cuffs. A certain class of men always
wear the largest size they can buy, and
another class get those but little larger
than their wristbands. As a rule the
small, weazen faced man wears the larg-
est cuffs. He generally gets No. II and
always allows them to come down over
his hands. The fat man generally wears
small cuffs and rarely has them in
sight. Another conspicuous character
is the man who always keeps his little
finger sprawling around in the attempt
to push his cuff up where it belongs.
Examine his hand closely and you will
find small callous on the outer edge of
his little finger. Why does he persist in
wearing them in this way? He realizes
that it looks untidy and that they are an
annoyance to him, yet you could not in
duce him to have his shirt sleeves made
any shorter OF to wear sleeve supporters.
Then again you meet the man who
always wears the "cuff machine" an
ingenious contrivance that attaches the
cuff to the shirt sleeve and may be raised
or lowered at will. Next comes the man
who saves his laundry bill by reversing
his cuffs, and the man who has them
Joined to his sleeves.-Buffalo Enquirer.
