She Stays at Home.

There is a gentleman who lives with
in ten miles of Mt. Sterling and who
comes here several times a week, who
says that during his married life of
thirty-five years and residence dur
ing that time where he now lives, his
wife has never been in this town
that she has but once in all that time
been in Owingsville, though living
within five miles of that place, and
that while for many years she has
lived almost in sound of railroad
trains whistle, she has never ridden
on train or even seen one. Truly,
this good woman cannot be charged
with being "gad-about."

where they can come with their fami-

country parents, of this county, mys-

A search was made. but no trace OF
her whereabouts could be learned.
The tin bucket she had taken, her
apron and bonnet were found in the
field.
Foul play was suspected by her
brother and her fiance, Henry Smith,
to whom she was to have been mar
ried next Thursday.
Suspicion pointed to B. III, Coyle, a
married man of this city, who keeps a
dry goods store.
Until recently the girl clerked in the
store and Coyle became infatuated
with her.
The girls father took her back
home, and it is alleged that Coyle has
written the girl letters threatening to
kill her should she marry Smith.
Accordingly, Coyle was arrested
and placed in Jail, his trial being set
for Monday.
The search for the girl was contin-
ued by her father and her young lover
and this evening they located her in a
negro bawdy house.
As they approached the building,
however, opened fire on the men, and
during the shooting the girl escaped
bya back way and has not been found

BY concert of action along the line,
it is possible to have the Ky. & S. A.
Railroad extended to the camel coal
fields of Morgan comfy. But in order
to get up proper interest and TO secure

ONLY A WOMAN.

She only woman, with womans heart,
Who patiently, lovingly, in paths apart
From the great world, with its tumult and strife
Wrought out the duties of mother and wife.
She sought neither wealth titles of fame,
But, unselfshly, lived each day as it came
Unassuming and modest her name not known
But her power felt by its pureness alone.
No toll for her loved ones she deemed too severe;
She shared every sorrow, she Gained every fear
She frightened each joy, she lessend each pain,
And no one in need of her, sought her in vain.
Though heart was oft weary, she asked no reprieve,
So long as for others she good might achieve.
She made of her home blissful retreat
For word.wearied husband and chdren's tired feet.
Her face was not beautiful, with the grace
Which beautiful soul can fail not to trace.
Hands girlish and white grew blue.veined and thin,
But in labors of love they had sanctifed been;
Steps bounding and joyous grew feeble and slow,
But they had tered through veal through VICE.
Unselfish, pure, womanly noble and true,
Her life held grandeur which only God knew.
Long years passed away, then village bell tolled
And kisses, unanswered, pressed on lips cold
Hands, wearied at last, were folded for aye,
Damp locks were put back from forhead of clay.
Then a new grave made meath flowers on the hill,
And the mothers heart lay all puseless and still.
No marble vault there, monument tall,
But old and young said "She cared for US all"
Her love was her life; to its altar she brought
All her beauty of soul and the power OF thought.
As woman, wife, mother, she did what she could
TO further the veal of earth's grand brotherhood.
No nodding of plumes, nor of trappngs so gay,
Told of honor fame as they laid her away,
But the deeds of her life were borne up above,
And the angels of God sang anthem of love.

WOMAN IS THE HIGHEST.

Somewhere have heard this adage,
And think it is true one
at takes much to make lady,
1t takes more to make woman"
Ladies with their studied graces,
Ladies with their snow-white hands,
Delicate and clearcut faces,
Ladies high and ladies grand
Clothed in velvet, robed in laces,
Much too fine for common touch,
Crowned and decked with pearls and rubies,
Not true woman, overmuch
Shallow vain and superficial;
There are thousands simply human
Worthy of the name of lady,
Scarcely worth the name of woman.
Not for them the grand creation
Of glorious womandood;
Not for them the high ideals
Only soul hath understood;
Not for them the lofty mountains
Rising DER life's desert waste;
They have eaten Dead Sea apples;
Let them pail upon their taste.
Woman mounting slowly upward,
Pure and steadfast, modest, sweet
As the violets which are blooming
In some shaded, cool retreat;
Woman reaching out strong tendrils,
Earnest in the walks OF life,
Treading in the path of duty
Through temptation, tare and strife;
Women in the garb of patience
Standing where the tried have stood;
Breaking bread for questioning spirits,
Wearing crown of motherhood;
Woman delving, sculpturing, carving,
Making still this adage true one:
at takes much to make lady,
1t takes more to make woman"
