EVEN the Louisville Commercial,
which has been the ardent supporter OF
Governor Bradley and his administra-
ton, prints this special from Frankfort:
cater having made the campaign last
year practically on the platform OF turn
ing the Mason-Foard Company out, and
branding them as set OF robbers, Gov
ernor Bradley and his associates in the
Sinking Fund Commission yesterday
closed a lease with their old enemies for
the employment of 400 conviCts at the
Frankfort penitentiary. This move has
started many tongues to wagging in the
Democratic party, and the action OF the
commissioners will no doubt be received
with hearty disapproval by Kentucky
Republicans, who thought when they
elected the present State officers they
were at the same time sounding the
death knell OF the Mason-FCard Com
pany.
The truth OF the matter is that the
Commercial crowd and some OF their
friends wanted this lease, and their fail
ure to get it has caused the howl from
the Commercial. But the remarks of the
Commercial are to the point all the same,
AMI shows that Bradley and the Repub-
licans simply used the Mason-Foard gag
as an electioneering scheme.

The Coming of Baby.

When baby comes to the house real happiness
comes. The care and anxiety count for nothing
against the clnging touch of the little hands and
the sound of the little voice. The highest func-
ton given to human beings is bringing healthy,
happy children into the world. Over thirty years
ago the needs of women appealed to DR.. Pierce,
now chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y.
The result of his study improved by thirty years
OF practice is embodied in DIR. Perce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t strengthens, purifes and makes
healthy the organs distinctly feminine. 1t gives
weak women the strength and health necessary
for the production OF healthy children and it
makes the bearer of those children easy. 1t is
sure to cure any weakness or arrangement pc
culiar to women stops pain, soothes inaamma-
ton, purifes, invgorates.

the most important elements OF all good
wheels. There are any number of tires,
but a greatley less number of rims. The
wood rim is one of the great discoveries.
The wood is preferably white ash, hick-
DRY or maple. Some firms use three or
four pieces glued or pressed together
Illuminated" is the trade WORD. The
connecting ends are fastened in various
ways. 1t has been found that wood rims
have more resistiency-that is, power OF
resis ing shock-than have steel rims.
1t took years to find this out.T Now there
is talk of paper rims. But whether
made OF steel, wood or paper, no rim ever
made is able to withstand a collision if
it is struck under speed.

NEXT Sabbath evening a subject Of
especial Importance will be discussed by
the pastor of the Aberdeen NJ. E. Church.
The theme will be 1.-The Sunday School
Spirit Serving Uncle Sam" In will en-
body an application OF Christian sociology
to the municipality. After brief intro
duction on the value of ideals, religious,
social and municipal, in which the man or
municipality without an ideal will be
compared to bird without wings, the
theme will be unfolded in four-fold form !:
First, The Sunday school spirit at which liquor
men first grin, then shiver, develops municipal
ideal which includes among other things, l. The
utter abolition of all liquor selling in its model
Second, 1t insists upon strict enforcement of
laws of nation, State and municipality. A ps-
triotism which believes in law keeping, but
does not do it for experimental reasons is open to
the suspicion of traitorhood.
Third, 1t involves moreover the best possible
educational system for the benefit OF the coming
citizen. For republic there is but one safe
course and that is to educate-Bishop Haygood.
The damage done TO EDUCATION by having igno-
rant men elected to select teacherswill be pointed
out The need of education to prepare the
coming generation to fill the offices OF the
municipality with credit and success will be
insisted upon.
Fourth, 1t involves legitimate efforts to make
the advantage OF the municipalityknow -adver-
tised by its virtues rather than by the oppostes.
Fifth, A word as to the sphere OF the church in
these regards.

Out flashes little girl and wheel.
