Suppose you catch boy commit

he has been doing, and he will look up
In your face, a picture of innocence,
and reply, "Ikona, baas"-a plump de-
NAL. Tell him you saw him do 1t,
threaten him with punishment; he will
still persist In maintaining his inno-
cence. He will still plead ignorance Of
the misdeed and mutter In astonish-
ment or fear, "Ikona, baas." In fact,
he knows nothing whatever about 1t.
If the offense be one that cannot be
overlooked, you proceed to administer
reproof-with the foot, If you are not
particular and wish to be impressive.
What does he do? If he Is raw
boy and not used to it, he runs Off
with terrified lock on his face; If he
Is used to 1t. he retires precipitately
with satisfied smile. not necessarily
because he has got the thrashlng, but
because he no longer has 1t to look for

Legal measures are being taken to de.

Gov. Taylor took the initiative, Wed

application for an Injunction against j
G. w. Beckham aud John B. Castleman.
He seeks to enjoin the first named defen.
dant from attempting to exercise the
duties of governor of Kentucky and the
second defendant from acting as adjutant
general. Taylor sues as an individual
and also as governor of Kentucky. Gov.
Beckham's suit, to compel Gov. Taylor
to surrender to him the Office of governor
has also been lied in the nature of an
Injunction and quo warranto proceedings.
This is much better than using fire
