Joke on Two Vets.

Cadiz Record: Ed Leigh, of Padu-
cab, and COL Craddock, of Paris,
were among the older newspaper
men of the State who attended the
State convention at Louisville.
Their personal experiences during
the trying times ofthe past seventy
five and hundred years were of
especial interest to the young men
of the. State press, like Green Keller,
Charley Meacham, Loving Gaines,
John B. Gaines, Warren Martin,
John L. Smith, Ed Walker, ]. d.
Watson, Jim Wilhelm and others.
Incidents of the war of 1872 and
personal "reminiscences of the life
and character of Daniel Boone were
topics that never failed to interest
every crowd they got into.

Mary Baker Eddy.

The upward of LOCO, 900 believers
and followers that Christian Scien-
lists claim as having registered to-
day, all started from the teachings
and writings ofone individual. That
individual is Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy, of Concord, N. H.
In 1880, while living in Lynn,
Mass, Mrs. Eddy (then Mrs. GLOW
cry claims to have met with Sc
we're accident. Her case was pro-
nounced hopeless, she says, by the
physicians. She claims that she
became aware of a .divine illumi-
nation and ministration. Her at
tendants believed her to be dellri-
Gus and at the point of death, when,
to their "bewilderment and fright, "
she claims she rose from her bed
and walked. "They thought l had
died and it was my apparition, >
she said.
II felt that the Divine Spirit had
wrought miracle, shesaid, in re
ference to this experience. "How,
l could not tell; but later found it
to be in perfect scientific accord
with the divine law.
Such is the remarkable claim of
Mrs. Eddy, who straightway wrote
a book which sells for SIS a copy,
and which has been bought by sew
eral hundred thousand of her fol-
lowers, who study it with rever-
ence second only to the Bible. To-
day Mrs. Eddy is not only the head
of the church, having more than a
million avowed followers in the
United States, but her. word is the
sole law of the church. Brigham
Young was not more absolute among
the Mormons. And the Mormon
faith did not spread as rapidly as
the christian Science faith has. Mrs.
Eddy has said "My decision is
final on all questions pertaining to
the Science everywhere.

FIVE HUNDRED
Fat PuIlets Lifted From the Roost
BY Thieves.

Chicken thieves continue to raid
hen roosts in the city. On Thurs
day night forty-nlne Plymouth
Rock chickens were stolen from DR..
l.. G.. Armendt, and on the same
night forty chickens were taken
from Mr. Shelby Hicks. The
thieves even carried off Mr.. Hicks
chicken coop. These depredatiops
on the chicken roosts occur nightly,
and the police estimate that in
the past week 500 or more chickens
have been stolen in the city. So
far no clue to the thieves has been
obtained. AT least, if the police
know anything that even puts sus,
picion on anybody as a chicken
thief, they decline to divulge it.
A negro took nice fat pullet in
to Fourth-street grocery the other
day and sold it. Upon investiga-
ton it was discovered that the ne
gro had just nipped the fowl from
the coop, which was in another
room, and boldly marched in and
sold it to the owner.-Owensboro

hASEVENTY.FIyE NOVELS.
Death of rlrs. Southworth The
Popular Story Writer.

Mrs. hworth-Emma Doro-
thy Eliza Nevitte Southworth, to
give her full name-was born in
! Washington in 1929. At twenty-one
Sshe was married to Frederick H.
SButhworth, and when she first
found four years later that it was
necessary for her to help support
the family, she took a position as a
<aeacher. The opening wedge which
short stories made to an income
soon caused her to abandon the
pedagogue's task and turn entirely
to literature, She was able to make
the paper which published her sto-
ries the most popular periodical of
the time.
Mrs. Southworth' novels, of
which she wrote seventy-hve, were
full of dramatic incident and excite
ment. Some were lurid and highly
sensational, but there is much
strong dialogue and good descrip-
tive work in them One novel al
most for each year of her life-that
is her record.
1t can be truly said of Mrs. South
worth that her novel writing was
her life. She had neither time nor
inclination for anything else. Her
girlhood was uneventful, and her
early married life filled with ordi-
nary family cares, till under stress
of necessity she began writing sto-
ries for the money they would bring
her. She found herself suddenly
popular beyond her belief. Buoyed
by the confidence of her success,
she worked uninterruptedly, pub
fishing for a long period as many
as three volumes a year. Then
came the weakness and quiet rest
of old age, and though in later
years she occasionally published
something, her pen was by no means
ysteadily occupied.

Questions Census=Takers will ASK.

The schedules for 1900 are under five
heads, the individual, corporations, agri-
culture, mortality and special. The ques-
tons to be put to individuals are: Your
age, conjugal condition, place of birth,
parents birthplace, alien or naturalized,
number of years in the United States, oc-
cupation, months employed, lteracy,
school attendance, and ownership of prop
erty.
Every person over 20 years is consider
ed a responsible representative to answer
for each and every member of his family.
The above questions are the ones you will
be compelled to answer. If any further
questions are put to you, you may safely
ignore them. If you are out, your neigh :
Dor next door must answer for you, as he
is supposed to know all about you. Refusal
to answer, or any Justification of facts is a
misdemeanor, for which the guilty one
will be fined 500; an alternative punish
ment, however, providing for the posi-
bility of the delinquent not happening to
have the ready money, is not mentioned.
The schedule under ''individuals'' is
rather modest, while inquiries pertaining
to manufacturing establishments are pre-
tentious. Here are questions that will
make perjurers of many an honest mer-
chant or tradesman: Name and character
of organization whether individual or CO.
operative, or other form; character Of
business; kind of goods manufactured !;
amount of capital invested; firm mem
bers, co-partners, or officers; amounts of
their salaries; number of employees;
amount of wages; quantity amp cost of
material used in manufacture; amount of
miscellaneous expenses; quantity and
value of products; character and quantity
of power used; character and number of
machines employed. The president. sec
Rotary, treasurer, agent or any direct
officer of any corporation, business, fac
tory or firm is answerable for all. And
any refusal to answer, or any false state
ment, is an offense for which the culprt
must pay $4,000 fine or go to prison
for one year or both.
The questions relating to agriculture
include: Name of occupant of each
farm; tenure; acreage; value of farm and
farm implements; average quantity and
valne of different products; number and
value of live stock. Statistics will also be
gathered relating to special classes, includ-
ing the insane; the feebleminded; crime
deaf, dumb and blind; pauperism, juve-
nile delinquents, and inmates of reforma-
tories and benevolent institutions; and
last of all, in cities, social statistics relat-
ing to public Indebtedness, valuation,
taxation and expenditures; to religious
bodies, to electric light and power, to the
telephone and telegraph business; and to
Notwithstanding steamboats,, ex-
press facilities, and street railways. Les
