some Caustic Comments About the speci-
mems Pictured In Dime Novels.
There are, no doubt, a good many
worthy people who advise folks against
moving to Kentucky, because their typ
lcal Kentuckian is blossom nosed fire
eater, who goes about with his trousers
stuck into cowhide boots, slouch hat
staggering over his eyes, whisky flask
protruding from one pocket, revolver
from another and bowie knife from the
bootleg. Their representative Ken
tuckian kills man every morning for
breakfast and goes to bed every night
too gloriously drunk to take his clothes
off. They divide Kentuckians into two
classes-the horse racers and the feud
fighters. They consult dime novel ac-
counts of the mountain vendettas as au-
thorities on Kentucky life, and they &C
cept and disseminate the opinion that
Kentucky is a good place for a man of
peaceful inclinations to stay away from.
Another picture of the Kentuckian,
less uncomplimentary, but as an aver
age type scarcely less untrue to life, is
that of the old Kentucky gentleman
whose religion it is to ''love boss and
cuss Niger" who has highly wrought
notions of gallantry, wraps himself in
an atmosphere of romance and chivalry,
worships the memory of Henry Clay,
has no occupation in life beyond swap
ping stories, playing poker and slipping
mint juleps, and is in all respects
harmless, kindly. clustering, inane, in
dolent, boastful and utterly impracti-
cable member and type of somnolent
society.
The fault of the seeker after types is
the disposition to generalize on too
slight foundation. Such men as these
there are in Kentucky. The feud fight
er is here, though we have quieted him
by hanging or imprisoning his fellow
outlaw. He chiefly lives now in the
impossible romances which space writ
ers have woven about as cowardly q
set of assassins as ever skulked behind
a rock or fired an undefended mountain
cabin. The fine old Kentucky gentle
man is here, too, and may there be to
him and his peace and plenty in the
mellow evening of a kindly life. The
younger sons of Kentucky honor his vir-
tues and wear them when they can, bor-
rowing from his courtly example much
that makes the genuine gentleman. So
much do we love him and honor him
that we are disposed to resent any rude
exaggeration of his lovely peculiarities
by those who cannot appreciate him and
who do not understand that the quail
ties which most distinguish him may
adjust themselves In his sons and grand
sons to changed conditions of life

Birds Are NIathematicians.

The English naturalist, Morris Gibbs,
devoted years of study to birds nests,
their formation and their contents, and
asserts that birds lay their eggs in ac-
cordance with geometrical lines, SO
that every inch of space is used to the
greatest possible advantage. Birds
which lay many eggs arrange them in
circles, the pointed ends turned to the
inside. Others, whose eggs are clip
tically shaped, place them in longitude
nal rows. If an egg is moved out of
its original position by an intruder, it
will be found ON the following morn
ing that the bird has returned it to its
first position. Among the numerous
and often difficult cases which Gibbs
made matter of study, not one was
found which would not do credit to a
mathematician. st. Louis Post-Dis-

From the Argus, Alpena, Mich.l
We have long known Mrs. Jas. M.
Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena Co. :,
Mich. She has been a sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story
of her recovery; for the benefit of those
who do not we publish it today.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostrarion, and in a few
months with muscular and infiamma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
then her head. Her feet became 50
swollen she could wear nothing on
them; her hands were drawn all out of
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut
more than half the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held "up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. ALI said he1
trouble was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure, and
! that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part of the story follows in
her own words:

that the record made between these two

PARIS GIGANTIC HOAX.
That Million Dollars For a Year In TOM
Story Exploded.

That Million Dollars For Year In a Tomb
Story Exploded.
A gigantic hoax with the longest run
on record is at last exposed in the Paris
papers. In 1890 an advertisement ap-
peared stating that deceased Russian
princess left million francs to be given
to the person who would remain one
year and a day in the little chapel over
her tomb in Pere la Chaise and watch
her body, which was in a glass coffin.
The watcher should see nobody during
The time he or she remained in the chapel
and should not even speak to the servant
that would be employed to supply the
refreshments. Candidates were politely
requested to communicate with the su-
perintendent of the cemetery.
The unfortunate functionary soon
found himself deluged with letters from
fools in all parts of the world, including
Dne journalist belonging to news
agency of Chicago, who declared himself
ready to take the job, as it seemed far
preferable to the ''killing work of a
newsgatherer." Paragraphs began to
appear in the papers stating that several
intrepid watchers had already abandoned
the task ON account of the uneasiness of
the dead princess In other words, she
had disagreeable habit of getting out
of her glass coffin and walking about in
her shroud. Then the wag of wags raised
the ante. Five million was the sum next
offered through the press. Letters poured
with increased volume upon the unfor-
tunate superintendent, some of them
from women. Nearly every town in the
United States and Canada was ably rep
resented among the many men of letters
who contributed to this wondrous pile.
1t is almost too bad to clip the wings
of canvasback canard that flew so long
and SO far. But it has turned out, just
in time to save the superintendent of
Pere la Chaise from going crazy, that
the Russian princess, the little glass cof-
fin and the generous bequest never ex-
listed, and that the tomb which was sup
posed to contain her interesting and rest
less remains really belongs to a French
family named De Beaujour.-Paris Cor
