In India So often are these women
comely. and SO beautifully are they
clad-in such soft and exquisitely col
ored silks-that. as one writer says:
They appear as houris floating about
the earth In silk balloons. with bal
lasting OF anklets. necklaces, earrings
and jewelry." 1t is no more than fair
of the Parsi men to let this be as 1t
is. for they are the ugliest men that
crawl upon this globe. An English
lady advised me TO go and see the rich
Parsi young women riding bicycles on
the road beside the sea at 4 o'clock OF
any afternoon. What an ideal. The
bicycle has SO revolutionized young
womanhood in England that men who
return there after a short absence can
not credit their senses as they note
the change in the maidens and their
home government What will 1t do
or not do-in India? Truly that mod

The political conditions in Ken
lucky. eliminating in the recent as
sassination Of Senator Goebel, the
Democratic contestant for governor,
have brought the mountaineers Of that
commonwealth into considerable no
toriety. owing to their presence in
the capital at the time of the assas-
sination and the part they have taken
tn support of Gov. Taylor.
These mountaineers are Of type
common to large and rugged region,
extending from the Ohio river to Bir-
mingham. Ala. and Atlanta, Ga. The

who are living practically in condi-
tions of colonial times. The difference
is that the colonial people were con-
sciously In motion and felt themselves
to be in the front Of the progress of
their time, while the mountain people
have a depressing sense of being be-
hind. Yet the people are not TO blame.
The conditions affecting them are the
result of environment
These people are more destitute OF
all the opportunities that go with ed

race in the world. There may be 20

The fighting propensities Of .he
mountaineerH are to be classed with
other surviyals OF oid-world temper
and ideals. II is well to remember that
the whole south is far nearer than the
other parts OF the country to the age
OF chivalry. when all gentlemen wore
side arms and felt that the govern
ment was simply to defend them from
foreign foes. while they were to rely
upon their own prowess TO protect

as well as the list of notables billed
to speak, attracted people from all
sections of Southern Indiana, and
the town is jammed. Four thous-
and people are present from a dis
tance. Several special trains were
run. The watermelon shipping sea-
son is just at its hight, and one of
the features of to-day's barbecue"
was the shipment OF several train
loads Of melons. The Posey County
