 After a woman has once kissed for love of a man she no longer kisses for love of a kiss.
 When a girl can't get up any other ex- cuse for loving a man she falls in love with him because she thinks he has been unfor- tunate.

 There are a good many kinds of love that a man would rather have than to be rich, but there is only one kind he would rather have than good health.

Once again, banners, fly! Clang again, bells, on high, sounding to sea and sky
 Longer and louder Mafeking's glory with Kimberley, Ladysmith. Of our unconquered kith
 Prouder and prouder. Hemmed in for half a year, Still with no succor near, Nor word of hope to cheer
 Wounded and dying; Fevered, and foiled of sleep By the fierce cannon's leap, They still still vowed to keep
 Englands flag flying. Nor was their mettle shown By male and strong alone; But, as intrepid grown,
 Fragile and tender, Without or tear or sigh Echoed the brave old cry, We, too, would rather die,
 Die than surrender!' As pressed the foe more near, Only with naked spear, Neer knowing what to fear,
 Farley, or blench meant, Forward through shot and shell, While still the foremost fell, They with resistless yell
 Stormed his entrenchment. Then, when hope dawned at last, And fled the foe, aghast At the relieving blast
 Heard in the nelly Oh, our stout, stubborn kith! Kimberley, Ladysmith, Mafeking, welded with
 Lucknow and Delhi! Sound for them martial lay! Crown them with battle-bay, Both those who died, and they
 'Gainst death could wrestle. Powell of endless fame, All, all with equal claim, And, of the storied name,
 Gallant young Cecil! Long as the waves shall roll, Long as Fame guards her scroll And men through heart and soul
 Thrill to true glory, Their deed, from age to age, Shall voice and verse engage. Swelling the splendid page

Proceedings Of the County Con
ventlon Saturday.

Pursuant to call by Chairman
j. Frank Conger, of the county
executive committee, the Repub-
licans of Crittenden county met in
mass convention at the court
house in Marion, KY, Saturday
May 5, 1900.
The convention was called to
order by Chairman Conger, after
which w. B. Yandell moved that
A. A. Deboe be elected temporary
chairman and Jno. w. Bebout
secretary.
On motion of A. G. Moore the
county committe was thoroughly
reorganized by re-electing the old
committee as it stood.
There being vacancy in Dy-
cusburg committee, caused by the
death of f. N. Dalton, the name
of f. M. Dalton was, upon motion
of H. A. Haynes. recommended to
SAID precinct committee to fill the
vacancy.
The following committee on
resolutions was appointed: H.
A. Haynes, w. G. Franklin, w. H.
Gopher, e. b. Blackburn and w.
M. Babb.
On motion of A. @. Moore, Chas
Conger addressed the convention,

Alvin Perry, Julius Fohs, Mack
Woodall and others.
The committee on resolutions

The Republicans of Crittenden county
KY, in mass convention assembled to
select delegates to the District ConSen-
ton at Paducah, KY, and the State
Convention at Louisville, KY, indorse
the call of these conventions and your
committee ON resolutions beg leave to
submit the following report:
Resolved, That we indorse the wise
and patriotic administration of President
Mckinley. The unexampled prosperity
and progress of the country under the
magnificent management of this admin
istration speaks louder than mere words
in praise of his leadership.
Resolved. That We indorse the clean
and able Republican administration In
the State and most positively do we
lndorse Gov. w, 8, Taylor and hls

nd for the cause of civil liberty

and for the cause of civil liberty.
Resolved, That the supreme issue in
Kentucky is fair election law. Until
that is accomplished other issues sink
into insignificance; for if the people can
not have their will, as expressed at the
polls, fairly recorded and honestly en-
forced, it is useless have opinions upon
any public matter. Wedenounce the
infamous and cowardly efforts of the
Goebel democracy to steal from the
Republicans officials the offices to which
they were fairly elected and we call upon
all liberty loving citizens of the state to
aid us in maintaining the peoples rights
and in the enactment of a fair and
honest election law.
Resolved, that we indorse Senator
VIM. j. Deboe as one of the Delegates
from the State at Large to the National
convention at Philadelphia and the del
egates herein after named are instructed
to cast the vote of this county for him.
We recommend as delegates to the
Dist. and State conventions the follow
ing viz: VIM j .Deboe, John T. Franks,

Old Trustees Re. Elected,

Not much interest was elected
in the school election Saturday.
There was no fight, and the old
trustees Messrs. H. A. Haynes
and j. N. Clark, were elected with
out any opposition. Since the
organization of the school, six
years ago, the members of the or
ginal board have been reelected,
and this endorsement of their
management of the school is a
compliment that the board should
appreciate.

our happiness had not been marred for

connaisance of approaching fury: but
when thera began falling with steady
down-pour, our gayety and giddines was
damped as well as our garments, yet the
dauntless spirit of the young gentlemen
naturally suggested close communion
under the shelter of their "top-buggies. :"
The clouds soon vanished and all again
went well as before.

party: Misses Dennie Williams, Lena

Enu,i.b Cabinet Secrets.

Secrets OF state are probably the best
kept OF all secrets. When cabinet min
listers In England first are admitted TO
the privy council, they have to take
solemn oath not TO make known the
conversation or proceedings OF cabinet
councils or any communications they
may have with the queen or with an
other minister. They cannot give a
hint OF such things even to the highest
members Of the government who are
not cabinet ministers. No clerk or Sec
retary is allowed TO be present at cabi-
net councils. no written record Is kept,
and Il IL the custom not to take any
notes: hence no one but the crown and
the ministers ever knows what has re-
ally been said and decided at cabinet
meetings. The oath Of secrecy lasts TO
the end Of life. An ex-cabinet minister
Is as much bound by II as an actual
cabinet minister.
Any conversation a minister or peer
may have with the crown on state mat
tiers must also be kept secret So must
letters 10 and from the sovereign. And
even communications that have passed
between soverelgns and ministers OF
former reigns must not be divulged.
But In cases Of extreme urgency the
crown could and would allow a breach
OF the oath OF secrecy.
