SUCH IS FAME.
A Small Schoolgirl Gets the Hero
of Manila Into a Bad
Mix Up.

One of the most popular of the
young professors in the male high
schools tells an amusing little story
on small, up-to date schoolgirl
She went to one Of these district
schools over which a cousin of the
professor presides. 1t is usual to
have visitors at the building now and
then, who ask the scholars questions
and see that everything is in good
shape.
One day not so long since party Of
callers came in and requested the
pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them.
One of their qustions was: Tell
what you know about Admiral
Dewey's great fight"
The.children set to work figuring on
their answers, but the teacher noticed
one Of the girls did not not make a
move to do so.
"Why don't you write your an
swer to the question:" she demanded
of the idle Pupil.
"Taint no use," was the slow re-
spouse. 81 don't know nothing
about it,"
But" demonstrated the teacher,
"you must try, anyhow; you must
not sit there idle while the others are
doing the best they can. See if you
cannot think of something, my dear.

Such is fame, and the bold sailor
who sank Montejo's fleet must go
promenading down the halls of time

partner.-Louisville Times.

HE DID NOT HAVE 1T.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells
this characteristic story of Hon. Isaac
Parker, famous as the terrible Judge
at Fort Smith, Ark, who probably
sentenced more men to be executed
than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not. however, because he was
so unrelentingly severe, but because
he had the hardest and most numer-
GUS lot of criminals to deal with that
ever came within the jurisdiction
OF such an official. One day when
there was an unusually large batch
OF culprits to be sentenced, the Judge
looked compasisonately over his spec
tacles at one young scamp, and said
"In consideration of the youth and
inexperienced of this prisoner l shall
let him off with fine of $50"
Before the judge had done speak.
ing the very fresh young man coolly
stretched his right leg and ran his
hand into his trousers pocket on one
side, remarking nonchaIantIy as he
did so:
"That's all hunky, Judge; I've got
that much right here in my jeans"
"And one year in the penitentiary,
concluded the judge. Then looking
over at the convict in a quizzical sort
of way, he added: DO you happen
to have that in your jeans? "-Wo-

Richest Beggar on Earth.

men lose their appetites, and their
stomachs "go back on them" Their

NOT AERAID OF MAN.
Re markabIe Tameness of Animals
In the Yellowstone Park.

The slaughter of birds has almost
entirely removed one of the delight
full Accomplishments of life in the
rural east-the music of the feather
ed 'songsters. Apropos of this, it
may be said that one of the most
pleasant features of the drive
through the Yellowstone National
park is the apparent intimacy be-
tween man and the animal and bird
life in the park. Thanks to the wise
and stringent regulations, no shoot
ingis allowed within its boundaries.
THE result says an English
tourist, sis positively charming.
Hundreds of little chipmunks, with
their gaudy striped backs, scamper-
ed impudently about or peered at
passing coach from the roadside.
The squirrel did not bolt for the
nearest tree, but nodded a welcome
All bird life treated us likewise.
Oven the lordly eagle lowered near,
and the wild turkey stalked uncon-
cernedly through the rank grass.
We were fortunate enough to see a
fine specimen Of the wolf tribe. He
stood, a beautiful creature, and
watched us out Of sight, showing
only curiosity. not fear. Another
time were perceived doe and fawn'
grazing by the road. Not until we
were within a few feet did they
seek the shelter of the woods, yet
not to fly. They simply moved aside.
Here at least mankind was regard
ed as a friend-one who could be
trusted. The only animal who ran
away was brown bear. He turn
ed trail at the sight of coaching
party, yet it was quite common
thing for bears to approach close to
the hotels at evenings to feed on the
refuse thrown out. 1t was an after
dinner relaxation for the guests to
watch them feeding. They MUNICH
ed and disputed the choicest NOR
sells, for the most part Indifferent to
the company. Only when we be-
come inquisitive and approached
too near did they retire, and these
animals were perfectly free and un-
fettered in their NOV ements. 1t may
read like fairy tale. but it is solid
fact. Troy Times.

MORE ABOUT AN ELEVATOR.
Some Suggestions Offered as to
How to Get One.
EDITOR OF KENrucK1AN:-

You were kind enough to publish
my article on the need of Grain
Elevator at Hopkinsville. Will
you now permit me to offer some
suggestions as to how to get one?
First let some practical business
man GARNER preferred) who has
been successful in managing his
own affairs and has some knowl-
edge of machinery, and good judge
ment as to the quality and condi-
ton of wheat, undertake to work
up the enterprise, He should be
man of good address, who has the
confidence of the community and
who would put some money into it
himself. This one man with the
advice of such others as might be-
oome interested, should undertake
to inform himself infinitely as to the
kind and capacity of elevator
needed; the cost of building and
operating the same, how it should
be done, where located &C., and
should also be able to intelligibly
present the matter to others. And,
second, the farmers should be the
. principal stockholders, as far as
practicable, so that they could
have direct interest i'm, and con
troll of, their own elevator. My
plan for raising the stock would be
TO have the shares S25.0 90 each, and
for every farmer, who expects to
market 500 bushels, or more, of
vMat, this year, to subscribe for l
share of stock for every 500 bushels;
say, for instance, if should sell 500
bushels, take one share of stock in |
the elevator, and my neighbor, who
will sell 1000 bushels, take two
shares, and so on. In my opinion,
the elevato would enable us to re-
alfze at least cents a bushel more |
ASour wheat every year, taking in
ID account all of its advantages,
and we could well afford to put one
Years advance into stock in the |
company. OF course every farmer
will not do this, which would make |
it necessary for others to put in
more, but this is given simply as
basis to work on. The stock that
may not be taken in this way,
could be offered to investors in the
county or city. The management
should be in the hands of a Board |
Of Directors, elected annually, by |
all Of the stockholders, and these
Directors should elect the man to
take charge of and operate the Ele-
vator, who should give bond for the
faithful discharge of his duties.
A steel, FIRE proof Elevator, built
after the latest approved methods,
with modern machinery, can be OPP
Grated by one man, and if it can
store on an average of 100000 bush
els for six months in the year, it
would pay him fair salary and
make a good dividend for the stock
holders.
Now let the right man take hold
'of it and proceed to the organlza-
ton of company without delay,
as in a few months, the harvest sea-
son will be uporaus.
