KENTUCKY cOmEDY OF ERRORS
From the Polk county News


There is a story of young lady who
was much admired and courted by a
young man, who one day kissed her
against her Will. 1t nader her furious,
and she Indignantly exclaimed: "Ii
you dare kiss me again, I'll tell my
fatherp
She meant it, but he took it for the
usual feminine bluff of such occasions
aud repeated the dose on the spot. She
ran out of the room to the back porch
where her father had just finished oil
ing his gun.
But by the time she arrived there
she found out she wasn't as mad as she
thought she was, and Matching up an
excuse for sudden appearance, said :
Papa, go in and show Mr.. Blank your
gun. He is great authority on birds
and guns " Il WILL" said the father,
who is an enthusiastic sportsman, and

When her father entered the parlol
that young man didn't even wait to say
goodbye; nor was be particular about
his manner or place of exit. He broke
through the window and struck speed
he thought would distance the gun al
well as the old man.
1t was with difficulty the father cor
nered him few days later, and ex
planned; tlien It's month later before
the girl could persuade him gshe has
not intended practical joke. But b,
Modified now, and goes to see her, and
maybe repeats the microbe doses, hu

ROW KEBRASkAS SENATOR MADE HIS
GREAT ENDURANCE SPEECH
OF "a HOURS.

On Christmas day the United States
Senate was graced by the presence Of
William Vincent Allen, easily the
foremost of Populist statesmen and the
greatest endurance speaker ever heard
in the halls of Congress. His huge,
massively built form is familiar sight
on the floor and in the corridors of the
Senate, and ne is well-known 10 the
newspaper men as one of the most gra-
cious and kindly of the members of the
Millionaire Club. He has an opinion
on any subject of popular interest, and
is always willing to express it. He
talks frankly and candidly and has
never acquired the Roosevelt habit
He never denied an interview and never
back tracked on a public utterance.
His opinions, moreover, always carry
weight, as he is undoubtedly one OF the
best informed men in the Senate and
and one of the most intellectual.
Aliens return to the Senate will
meet with public approval Of the people
of his own State. and except for politi-
cal objections will be unanimously in
dorsed by his fellow Senators. He has

In the press gallery few drOwsy
correspondents kept watch waiting for
something startling to develop. The
Senate employees slept anywhere they
could and yearned for chance to 20
home.
At noon the next day Allen was still
talking, with no apparent intention to
stop. The silver men had by this time
Strengthened out their game and were
ready for a new assault on the bill.
Allen was told that he might slap on
the breakes at any time. but sent word
back to the leaders that a speech of
such stupendous proportions needed a
properly built peroration, and when he
started in upon this with the state
ment, Now, Mr.. President, few
words in conclusion, "he spoke just four
hours and forty minutes. He sat
down without any evidence of exhaus-
ton, and was apparently ready 10 carry
out his threat TO talk two days.
Senator Allen was ordinarily man
of kindly nature and gentle manners,
but on one occasion when he became
aroused in Washington it is Of record
that he declared the most awful
trough house" ever known in the Ma
tional capitol. He could toss an ordi-
nary man through the air as though he
were pillow and could go through a
crowd like the grace of God through a
camp meeting This reputation was
his also in the west, where weakiings
are not admired.

POTTER ON PHILIPPINES.
FILIPIN0s CAN BE CONQUERED AND Seal
TERED. BUT JUSTICE CANNOT BE OBJ
LITERATED FROM Their
HEARTS.
Especial Gable the New York Herald and

Especial Gable the New York Herald and
World-Herald.
MANILA, Dec. I6.-Bishop Henry G.
Potter, of New York, makes for the
New York Herald this exclusive signed
statement of his views on the present
situation in the Philippine Islands:
1t does not require very protracted
stay in the Philippines to enable a
traveller to discover that they present
to-day grave and interesting problems,
both of profit and of peril.
"The most superficial observation
will recognize that the people are agile,
both mentally and physically, and that
when intelligent culture, good laws
and the inspiration of pure and noble
examples have enlightened, ordered
and quickened them, and when capital
and enterprise have built railroads and
factories, opened markets and bound
together the tribal Isolations and antag-
onisms in mutual interests. large and
profitable results are likely to follow,
so far as commercial interests are con-
cerned.
-'Our English and German brethren
seem already to have recognized this.
and are likely to reap advantages which
American capitalists curIously enough
thus far have been slow to sieze. But
these opportunities for commercial and
industrial developments are qualified
by the dangers to social order, to the
integrity of the family and to the
maintenance of the essential equities
which grow out of ignorance and SUI
perstition, and the inscriptions ex-
actions OF that wide-reaching and all
comprising monastic system which has
preyed upon the people.
THE Filipinos can be conquered and
subdued by our armies. They can be
routed and scattered sa far as their
military forces are concerned, but the
instincts of justice in them cannot be
be extinguished, whether by armies or
navies. 1t is tie be hoped that it will
not be the Office of the United States
to attempt to extinguishthem.
These people have been robbed and
oppressed by those who in their
wrong-doing have shielded themsel-
YES behind the highest sanctions.
Their lands, which have been taken
from them by force and fraud, should
be restored TO them. The authority of
the United States should stand for that
which must forever be the brightest
blazon upon her escutcheon for human
ity and justice toward the weakest
wards of the republic.7
sit is pleasure to add that the i'm
preston that one derives from the as
pect and bearing of our troops in this
PARKWAY land is such as TO make one
altogether proud of them. The con-
duet and repute of our army compares
favorably and creditablY with that of
any military service of the world. May
the time soon come when, having es-
tablished the more peaceful methods
of government by equity, they shall
be no more needed there"

MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.

Gan old Favorite MOdernized)
The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky
home,
The voters are booty and gay,
The rye is ripe and the Bourbon is in bloom,
And the Ss9ngun makes music all the day,
The Stone ing rises to kiss the waiting mouth
And the upturned eyes gladly play
On the soft blue skies of the sunny, sunny
South,
InTnIy old Kentucky home far away.
Put shirt of mail underneath your Sunday
coat,
Wear an armor plate under your vest;
That is the safest way when the negro goes tc
vote
And the white man is there to protest.
o. there's gay old times when the election
comes around,
There's music to liven the day;
The sections spade stabs the Dark and Bloody
Ground,
In my old Kentucky home far away.
The black smoke pours from the chimney of the
still,
The fragrance Of corn taints the breeze,
It rises up till the tears of angels spill
And the man in the moon has TO sneeze,
The red juice shines in the bottle on the shelf
The sunbeams around it at play,
When your throat gets dry pull the cork ant
help yourself,
In my old Kentucky home far away.
The feud man hides in the corner Of the fenc,
And waits for a shot at his foe;
That foeman's soul goes kiting to the hence
To the land where they don't shovel snow;
The coroner comes to investigate the death,
And iags up comfortably gay,
And the verdict says that he died for want o
breath
In my old Kentucky home far away.
Weep no more, my lady,
Weep no more to-day,
For things have changed in my old Kentuck,
home,
In my odd Kentucky home far away.

SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT OF SOUTHERN
INVESTMENT CO., OF LEXINGTON, Ky.

1t is with pleasure that we present to
our Certificate-holders our last Semi
Annual statement. 1t will be seen
from this, the rapid strides, the COM
pany has made during the last year.
One year ago we had as, assets but little
over $50, 900, while to-day we have over
sos 600, almost double the amount we
had one year ago. One year ago we
had only about 10000 coupons in force,
while to-day we have $4,000, and we
have paid certifcate-holder a sum to-
tai of over S2O5,OOO.OO One year ago
we had but little business outside of
Kentucky, while to-day we number
among our investors some of the best
business men in nearly every State in
the Union.
1t is well-known fact that the prob
lem of securing first class agents and
representatives is one of the hardest
with which the management has to
contend. During this period We have
largely increased our agenry force and
have materially raised the standard OF
the class OF men who are representing
us throughout the country. 1t has al.
WAYS been our aim to secure the best
class of representatives possible, men
who will sell the stock on its merits
and will not resort to any means tO
sell it upon misrepresentation.
Our certificate-holders, we are glad
to say, during the period, have heartily
co-operated with us in helping to secure
new business. This has aided us ma
terally in making the splendid progress
that we have made, and We sincerely
thank them for the efforts they have
made in our behalf.
