SOME QUEER PEOPLE,

There are queer people in Kentucky. We do not mean Brother Breckinridge and Sister Pollard. They are more than queer. We now have in mind Mrs. Jennie Sousley of Asysville, Kentucky, and twelve queer men and true who formed the jury which dealt with the case of Mrs. Lizzie Smith against Mrs. Sousley. It appears that Mrs. Sousley is or has been full of something that in the old and unrevised days was known as the devil. By reason of such fullness Mrs. Sousley was moved tho other Sunday to put pin in the seat of the pew occupied by Mrs. Lizzie Smith. She put the pin in the seat of the pew with its point uppermost and go placed 1t that Mrs. Smith would be sure to sit down on it. Mrs. Smith did surely sit down on it, thereby fully satis- flying Mrs. Sousley and making scene such as few people have been privileged to witness in church. When Mrs. Smith grew calmsr and realized how she had been damaged in her person and her feel. ings she sued Mrs. Souslsy for the sum of ,000. Those who have ever sat down upon a pin placed on aseat at school by young friend will agree that Mrs. Sousely would have been very moderate in her estimate of the damage done her, even if she had only asked tha, sum for the physical pain she suffered But when it is remembered that she came sailing into church in the beauty of holi ness and her new spring duds and had al the beauty of holiness taken out of her fl less than g second and in that sam, second lost all her satisfaction fl her new clothes it will be seen that her at damnum was very low. But low as it wa the jury was lower. It decided that Mrs Smith had only suffered $10 worth. Wit men in Kentucky 90 blind to the natur
 and intensity of woman's feelings whe

AN OHIO IREA.


 The man who first thought of adding the tramwsy to transportation was @ very bright man. His name is not known. It is not even known whether he lived twenty thousand, ten thousand or five thousand years ago. But it does seem to be certain that some man along about the year 1909 A. D. rediscovered the tramway and ap. piled 1t to the transportation of coal from the mines in Northumberland and Durham to the places of shipment on the Tyne and Wear. This ingenious and unknown man laid down two lines of wooden beams furnished with Asnges and thereby made it easy for horse which had been drawing load of seventeen hundred weight on road to draw a load of forty two hundred weight. And out of this discovery or rediscovery grew the vast system of modern railroads.
 Now somebody out west has had an idea in regard to transportation, and it is such simple and apparently practical one that there will be wonder that 1t was not born and put into operation before. This idea is to extend the electric railroad tracks from cities and towns into the surrounding country, and to construct the roads in such a way that they can be used for wagons and carriages drawn by horses as we'll as by cars. Of course thsrs will Be a great saving in horse power wherever such roads are used, since far heavier loads can be drawn on steel tracks with the same force. In two counties of Onto trial will be made of this system the present year. The experiment will be watched with in- tense interest, and soon perhaps the civil ized world will be kicking itself for not having sooner made the vast economy in power which the latest Ohio idea promises.

YES, LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
 Thomas N. Waller is little out of poli- tics and good deal in business, but he finds time to smoothly and solemnly re- mark that this years campaign in Con- necticut will bs, or at least should be, on State issues only.
 Brother Waller is right, as usual. The should be. It will be an intensely local affair, and very many will make not only a local affair out of 1t, but personal one. When 6 man sees the locality in which he lives shorn of prosperity and devoid of cheer because of party 8 rule, or misrule, political campaign is apt to, become to him local matter. And when . man participates in the misfortune and gloom by being out of work and out of money himself, political campaign is pretty sure to be made personal matter by him. So we have no doubt that the coming campaign in this State will be very local and very personal. Perhaps Brother Waller had in mind the remark of another distinguished Demo crat who said that the tariff Ia a local issue. It is just now local enough in Connecticut to insure the correctness of Brother Walters prediction. He will find when the votes come to be counted that the tariff is not only local issue but personal one. He will perhaps be little disappointed when he sees how many voters make such a local and personal matter out of the campaign that they will welcome the opportunity to violently re- ject anything that bears the Democratic label, but he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he was . straight seer and @ wise councillor. Yes, the coming cam paign in Connecticut will be and ehould be on local issues only.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 To person visiting this beautiful Ger man city there comes q feeling of perfect astonishment when he beholds the noble public buildings, museums, magnificent private residences and spacious hotels, with wide avenues stretching far away through extensive parks.
 This feeling of surprise Is made more intensely SO when he reflects that this city, with It's perfect cleanliness and we'll equipped civil appointments, is one which possesses glorious history sngraven upon Its shield, and can look back to the past, when as long ago as tho year 1000 this same Lsipsic was . town of no mean size. It was originally a settlement of the Scls- vonic tribes, and ss the lime trees (the proaenitors of the gigantic Times in which the city even now abounds) grew here in wild abundance. they rightly called the place "Lipzk," or the town of the lime trees.
 As remotely ss the end of the twelfth century two great semi-snnual fairs were held in Ls!psic, which made 1t . resort of merchants from every nook and corner of I Europe, and these fairs are still held here, | and through them came in great degree the immense development which has made Lsipsic . city of very great importance. l The great fair st Easter is thropgsd with over fifty thousand traders from al parts of Europe, especially from tho east Jews, Greeks, Bulgarians. Turks and Ar menisns resort here with their varied
 wares.
 Lsipsic was like Tyrus of old: "Syril
