A wholesome suspicion is one of onr
characteristics as u nation. In matters
worthy of investigation we want real,
tangible facts regarding it. The word
of those we know; the nearby evidence
obtainable, are generally what we
most desire. When we call on a neigh
Dor, man of business at that, aud say:
You have he'd some experience with
o-and-so, what do you think of it?"
and he answers; Just the thing;
know because have tried It," 1t goes
a long way in helping our decision

events Of the past year in Northern

KENTUCKY BELLIES REVENGE.
She Refused the German Baron who
Had Tilted Her Many
Years Ago.

This is story of an international
marriage that didn't take place. 1t
failed twice, the first time for reasons
of the man in the affair, or his family,
and the second time for reasons of re-
venge on the part of the once young
woman, now three times married. 1t
is safe to say that the German baron
will not daily long again with Blue
Grass belle.
1t was half a century ago that Miss
Marie Goodloe, one of the most beauti-
full girls in that state world-famous for
three beautiful products-girls, horses
and whisky-went abroad and formed
the acquaintance of Baron Won Norde,
of Berlin, nephew of the late Prince
Bismarck. They became engaged and
everything seemed 10 be going smooth
ly, when the parents of the young man
announced that it could not be, and
that the affair was broken off.
Miss Goodloe recovered, and in time
became successfully Mrs. Shreeve, Mrs.
Ransom and Mrs. Cuthbert Bullitt. The
first two husbands died ard divorce
separated her from the last one.
Perhaps the old flame fingered in the
heart of the baron, and il certainly
burned with a vengeance in the heart
of the lady. Last summer they met in
Chicago, and again ne asked her to be
his. The long-owaited hour had come.
At last the proud Kentuckian had n
chance to show the baron what sort of
woman the blue grass country pro-
duces.
She told the baron that she would
consider the matter and give him an
answer in person at her home on No
vember ]. He came in advance of the
date and found Louisville society wide
open. She gave a reception in his hon
or at Fountain Ferry park, and for two
weeks showed him every attention.
On the first Of the month he knelt
with becoming baronial grace AT the
feet of the beauty and offered to share
his castle on the Rhine with her.
With an arise-sir-knight air she bade
him regain his feet, and when he was
sufficiently braced she remarked that
she preferred a cabin in Kentucky TO
castle in Germany. The baron quit
America, and Mrs. Bullitt gave out the
story. Thus was she avenged.-N. Y.

ment, and our government will add
its voice to the cars appeal for peace
And 50 will all the small countries of
Europe-Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Holland, Belgium, Spain and Portugal
whose safety depends upon treaties
made by and between their more pow
erful neighbors.
But in spite of this sympathetic feel
ing the st. Petersburg peace congress
is destined TO be failure, simply be-
cause not one of the great powers will
take the initiative in the disarmament
movement. Had the car been truly
honest in his pacific desires he would
have reduced his own army instead OF
increasing it and centralizing it in To-
calities where it must he viewed as O
menace by other nations.
Universal disarmament will not be
accomplished by congress of diplo
mats or doctrinaires. But ii is bound
to be the logical outcome of the next
great war when, to use the czar's words
''even the victor will have learned that
ii has inflicted irreparable loss on his
country"
Truth sometimes has to be pounded
into nations as well as individuals, and
in the matter of universal disarmament
the rod will prove a more effective
preacher than imperial platitudes.

to make his proposed internationa al
a success.
Although Russian officialdom. from
the throne down to the rural police Of
fee, has always denounced the press
as an agency of evil, yet il recognizes
its power, and the emperor has not
disdained to make a confidant of Will
liam I. Stead, the London editor who
n few years ago achieved considerable
fame, or notoriety, for exposing the
vices of high British society.
To Mr.. Stead the czar confided that
after studying nineteenth century civ
ilization, he has found il not entirely
good. He sees nations engaged in seiz-
ing, or trying to seize, all territory not
yet occupied by European powers, and,
looking at the results, discovers them
to be unsatisfactory.
For the native races what does inn
perial expansion mean?" asks the
czar; and then answers his own ques-
tion as follows: TOO often opium, al
cohol and all manner of foul diseases; I;
a great gulf between the governed and
those who rule; and crushing taxation
upon the natives for the blessings of
this civilization. And for the nations
who seize it means a continual increase
Of suspicion, jealousy and rivalry; the
keeping up of fleets and armies in or
der to take part in scramble with the
world, with the result that the army
and navy are swallowing up more and
more millions that should be used for
the welfare Of the people and the ad-
vancement of the world"
Speaking of the social effects of this
state of affairs, the czar is inclined to
think that ION top are a few rich and
comfortable. Down below, with an
ever-increasing pressure of taxes for
armaments, is the great mass of poor
people whose position is not good.
There is an ever-increasing multitude
of those below, with their brooding dis
content ripening into socialism and de-
veloping into all kinds of anarchy. We
have at the present time arrived at the
stage when our best manhood is in the
army. So much is this the case that
the whole of the troops in European
countries cannot be modified without
dislocating the whole social fabric.
Moreover, war has become so expensive
that no state can stand the strain of
