I'm Old Kentucky with its pickanin-
ny band, horse race, buck dancing and old
Bourbon flavor, proved itself as popular as
of old at the Aca denny last night. That
relic of the Blue Grass region, the ire
pressible colonel, was there; the heavy

incidents, while the scenes and incidents
still retain their flavor OF the section where
juleps, women and horses hold supreme.

doctor being tho only we'll man in the
house rushed in and pulled the burning
bed off from over the stove and attempted
to pull it through two doors and small

of the burning straw that was left main
~ in the little entry. The doctor lost his
wind and mad il not been for Mr.. Fuller

AS it was it gave the entry and three
doors quite Il scorching.
The smoke was driven into the sick

dragged himself out of bed and out of Il

He took the bed-ciothes with him and
wrapped himself in them and there re-
manned till the fire was put OFT and the
smoke cleared away. so that those pre-
