DECORATION NOTES.

Some of the prettiest Holland win
dow-shades are now made with two
bands of open-worl across the bottom
and 4 handsome lace edging to finish.
Such shades are decorative as well as
useful
You can buy very good plaster busts
about eight or nine inches high for 25
cents each. BY coloring them to deep
ivory tone they look like much more
costly productions.
For a library decoration a row of
busts of poets, authors, artists and
musicians in this ivory finish is a sug-
gestiye one. A shelf above wide fold
ing doors is an excellent place for such
a display.
Dusts of Mozart, Handel and others of
the old masters in music, as well as
some of our modern musicians, arc
suitable for a music room. The back
ground for these old ivory-toned busts
should be, preferably, a pale clear
green or a soft terra-cotta.
a plaster bust may be made to look
waxy like alabaster by thoroughly dry
ing it in a warm room and getting ii
very warm, then suspenGing it by
fine wire in the finest, purest white

Deafness Cannot be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf.
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube,
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;nine
cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

ture are at Frankfort excepting Sen
ator Ogilvie, of Paducah, a Democrat.
He is quite sick and it is more than
probable will be unable to be IN the
Senatorial contest, but his proxy will
be voted in all caucus proceedings by
Senator Sims. He is said to be a
McCreary man, His absence from
the Joint session and the further fact
that Senator Messenger, an alleged
Democrat from Louisville, will bolt
the caucus, will destroy all hope of
electing Democratic Senator.

church and was baptized by Rev,
M. L. Pope in May, 1884; was married
to Levi D. Burkholder on August TO-
1890; with her husband united with
the Christian church in October, 1891

full member until her death. She
died Jan. l, 1896. She was a devoted
wife, an affectionate and dutiful
daughter and tender and consider.
ate friend. Through many trials and
sufferings manifold, she retained hel
sunny cheerfulness, and her faith in
the divine hand that led her.
Almost her last words were prayer
to God that she might be spared to
rear the little son intrusted to hel
care.
With loving forethought she
arranged everything for the welfare
of her loved ones, and then bravely
and Cheerful lily gave herself up into
the hands of the God she trusted,
and found her well earned rest.

A fraud was perpetratrated in the
Republican caucus that declared Mrs.
Shelton nominated over Miss Wilson
for Librarian. There were 65 votes
and CO Brown divided his vote,
making the result stand 32a to 32a
but the clerk was Mrs.Shelton's friend
and announced the vote as 33 to 80.
The fraction was what led to the de-
lection of the fraud in the tally. Miss
Wilson's friends raised such fuss
that another caucus will be held and
a big effort will be made to induce
Cy Brown to decide between the
maiden and the widow and break the
tie.

reputation is made as pole climber
Even the Courier Journal devoted a
half column editorial to his soaring
eloquence. All of the papers pub
lished the speech in full and many
old acquaintance are recognized in
it by those of us who are familiar with
the orators style and language. In
fact the boys are telling it on Cy that
his speech was written out and careful
ly committed to memory and actually
rehearsed time or two before some of
his friends prior to his leaving home
two weeks ago.

Unless the plans are changed, the
Democratic caucus to nominate a
Senator will be held at Frankfort to-
night. Blackburn is almost certain
to win. Two of his opponents, Weis-

into the caucus. There seems to be
no hope of electing Blackburn or any
other Democrat.

Help the Poor.

Listen my darling while tell
OF a story often told,
Of the poor and hungry in the street,
There is horror yet untold.
They wait and listen fol footsteps,
And see in the darkening night,
A figure coming towards them,
ROBBED in jewels bright.
And she starts as she sees them crouch
ling,
On the cold stone Of the street,
And lifts her hand in horror,
As she looks down at her feet.
And what's this? she says,
AS she sees upon the snow,
white face looking up at her,
Which seems to say don't CO."
And the smallest gets up and says,
Lady give US penny for bread,
We've had nothing to eat all day,
And my brother Is nearly dead.
She taps the child on the shoulder,
As she feels for her purse and says,
Here my child run to the eating
house near,
To get you right good supper,
and little one dry your tear"
And then she passes on quickly
AS she wipes tear from her eye,
As she thinks of the poor and hungry,
And how in the snow they lie.
She thinks she has done some kindess,
o! If all would be so kind,
As the lady robed so bright,
Has helped the poor little children
tonight,
Let others be so kind as this,
And help the poor in the street,
And many will be made happy,
II charity rules the great.
