Those familiar with conditions in Ken

g. Carlisle. who was Cleveland's Secretary of
Treasure, to be President of the New York
Lawyers Sound Money Club which declared
in resolution ''that in our opinion, the defeat
of Bryan and Stevenson is essential to the
permanent and efficient maintenance of the
gold standard Of value in this country, makes
it a dead certainty that Kentucky will be car

mitted by Kentuckians who are supporting
Bryan that Mr. Carlisle has a tremendous in-
fuence with the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party in the state.

Ante-DeIuyian scsreerows.

Hon. Dorsey w. Shackelford, congress-
man from Blands district, spoke at the court
house in this city last Saturday night on the
evils of Imperialism and mi'itarism. This
was the first time that Mr.. Shackelford ever
appeared before a Montgomery county audi
ence. The Democrats were out in force and
also the Republicans. Considerable interest
attached to the speaker in as muoh as he was
somewhat noted as the successor of Richard
Parks Bland and also a political product of
Gov. Stephens!
Personally. Mr.. Shackelford is very
pleasant man. but as successor to X. p.
Bland and as a product of Gov Stephens
he fails to measure up to what his brethren
in the faith should expect. Still, his bre-

Hazy Ideas of Scripture.

The late Bishop How Of Wakefield,
England, in his Notebook" gives some
significant instances Of the haZy ideas
which children often obtain from care
less teachers.
One young curate was reproved by
the vicar for his use of too long words
while preaching to an uneducated
audience The word felicity" was
mentioned as an instance. The young
curate could hardly believe there was
any one in his congregation who did
not know the meaning of this word, SO
he called an old woman from one Of
the pews to refute the charge.
What does felicity mean, Nary"
asked the young man.

WONDERFUL CURE OF DlARRH0EA

Remedy--.Read His Editorial.
From the Times, Hlllsti.le, W.
I suffered with diarrhoea for long
time and thought I was past being
cured. I had spent much time and
money and suffered so much misery
that I had almost decided to give up
all hopes of recovery and await the
result, but noticing the ADVERTISE
ment of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea R R'medy and also some
testimonials stating how some won
derful cures had been wrought by
this remedy, I decided to try it.

"You should go to church on Sun

Chicago Record, ''if you want to see
the Nebraska and Dakota families at
their best. They come in carriages
drawn by fine horses. with we'll kept
harness. Their faces are tanned, and
their hands show evidences Of useful
employment. The men folk look a
little uncomfortable in their store

how or another the prcttiest ones al

nomenen remains unexplained. In the

and small, gather for Bible study an
hour after the morning service, and
everybody seems to know as much

Why He Is Third.

Not few readers Of the newspapers
must have been puzzled by the fact
that the new king Of Italy calls himself
and is called "Vittorio-Imanuele I'LL"
AS the existing kingdom Of Italy has
hitherto had only two kings In all, and
as one of them was named Umberto,
it was natural to ask how this one
could be the third bearer Of the first
kings name. The explanation lies In
the circumstance that, before the crea-
tion of modern Italy, the present kings
grandfather was king Of Sardinia, and
he was the second Victor Emmanuel
to bear that title. He did not change
1t on assuming the more spacious
throne, and the curious result is that
Italy calls her first Victor Emmanuel
her second and her second her third

Golf and Guttapercha.

It Is claimed that SO much gutta-
percha is used in the manufacture Of
golf balls that there isn't enough left
in the market to supply what is need

Importance must stand still, two con-

the tightness Of the hold the game has
secured upon the public?
1t is enough to make golfer swell
with importance every time he swings
his cleek over a new ball to reflect that
he is putting another clog on the wheel
of progress.
But all fevers run their course. When

THE PLAGUE OF FLIES.

"If you burn insect powder in an old
tin pan. it will kill mosquitoes says
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's. "a
person-I mention no nanes-tricd 1t to
kill flies. 1t made the house smell like
a Fourth Of July, though quieter. The
flies went about their business, as
usual, and Lever so much as coughed.
Two or three alighted on the edge Of
the pan. Hello" said one. What's
this? Somethin new? Say, where
was you yesterday? l was lookin for

Lavender flowers, they say, will dis

They won't do anything of the kind.

where otherwise the sweet slops would
attract flies by the millions, the drug
gists scatter essence Of sassafras. 1t
is rather amusing to watch fly sail
in the door and make for the counter.

perfume and l do not know that my
self should care for it for breakfast,
luncheon and dinner for weeks and

Hear the conclusion Of the whole
matter. The armies Of flies are to be
discounted only by attacking the base

if you kill one fly 40 will come to
the funeral These little skirmishes
with fly poison and sticky paper are
useless. To fence ourselves In with

Guides Who Understand Thoroughly

Guides and the native hunters of the
