WHEN LARKINS LAUGHED.
Short Story OF the Day.

When Larkins laughed all
Digger City laughed with him.
Never was a laugh more merry,
more contagious. The men OF
Digger City were a sober lot,
and to them the bright side OF
life was generally reflected in
and measured by the gold they
dug, but be luck good or bad,
not one of the rough men that
made up the mining camp ever
had the temerity to dispute
Larkins' right to laugh and
make others laugh With him.
And yet there was suspicion
that Larkins laughed because
he was sad.
Larkins arrived in Digger
City one stormy winter night.
no one knew from where. With
him was Il child, a chubby,
golden,haired boy of / years
Some one asked him how long
the journey had been, and Dig,
ger City t. en- heard the laugh
it was to know so we'll.

didn't leave much behind, and
mabbe we haven't got much il
store ahead. But we'll stich
together won't we. old boy:
Dad and his kid will stick to

Then Larlsins smoothed the
baby's hair and laughed uni
the crowd had caught the in
lection.
Months passed and still Dig

learned to know and to love
Larkins for himself and for his

child, and when other miners
were at the Screech Eagle bal
trading their dust for drink:

Often Larklns and the boy
would visit the Screech Eagle.

time" Larkins would explain.
ellis dads too old to care on his
own account" Yet the man
could not have been over 30 at
most.
Then Larkins and the boy
would proceed to have the
time and while it lasted the
onlookers would declare shat
frowzly headed baby was quite
as old as the big, bearded min

air and gallOp about the room

was the diversion for which he
labored all day, and the room
would ring with his merriment.
One day while Larkins was
at work the child wandered
from the caoin was drowned in
Otter creek. That day every
pick in the camp was laid down.
No man could work when Lar.

The miners went at once to

there, sitting on Il barrel, his
head buried in his hands. He did
not look up when they ap,

Goebe Declared Governor and
Sworn in.

William Goebel last night
was declared Governor and j.
y. w. Beckham Lieutenant
Governor of Kentucky by ma
jority of the Kentucky Legisla'
ture.
Chief Justice Hazelrigg of the
Court of Appeals administered
the oath of Office to them in the
Capitol Hotel.
Governor Goebel then signed
two orders, one appointing Col.
onel John B. Castleman of Lou.
isville, Adjutant General of the
Kentucky National Guard. and
discharging General Collier
from that position, and the 9th
er ordering the National Guard
troops to their homes.
The action of the majority
members of the Legislature in
sustaining the report of the Leg
islature Contest Committees oc-
Cured after most stirring and
thrilling scenes.
Taylor issued a proclama-
nation attempting to adjourn
the Legislature, and calling an
adjourned meeting at London,
an isolated place IN the heart of
a Republican district, and the
scene of recent feuds.
He attempted TO prevent the
Legislators from assembling by
aid of the National Guard. The
Legislators were prevented
from entering the assembly
chambers. An effort was made
to meet in the opera house, but
the soldiers headed them off.
At the Courthouse the troops
again thwarted them with bay
onets, and at the Capitol Hotel
it was the same.
Lying at deaths door, Sena-
tor Goebel directed the Demo
cratic plans so that all might
be carried out in legal form.
Sheriff James Sutton stated
yesterday that he shot Goebel.
1t is believed that be is either
crazy or knows who fired the
shot.
At midnight Goebel was rest
ing easy. and it was considered
probable that he would live till
this morning. and he may re-
cover.
