Pro and Con.

l am decidedly for the stock
law. Do not see how any man
with a farm of any size can be 9TH
erwise. We are about done clear.
ing in this country and timber for
fencing is expensive. A farmer
may have timber and feel that il
don't cost him anything, but tim.
Der fit to fence with commands q
good price, and it costs the farmer
just the cash he can get for it. II
the timber you put in fence on a
farm could have been sold for 500
or 5000, and the owner put it in
the fence in preference to selling
it, did not the timber in the fence
cost him that amount? d

BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
A Large Attendance and interest.
ing Meeting Last Week.

The Ohio River Association
convened at Caldwell Springs on
Wednesday, and all of the thirty
five churches we're represented,
with one or two exceptions. The
old officers were reelected, Geo.
n. McGrew moderator and Rev.
j. s. Miller clerk.
Rev. j. s. Henry preached the
Introductory sermon. His text
was from Acts 20-35: at is more
blessed to give than to receive"
The preacher made four divis-
ions of his subject. First, more
blessings come from giving than
receiving because we incur obliga-
tions in receiving, while in giving
we discharge obligations. Second,
giving is more lasting and more
elevating than receiving. We re-
member the good things we have
done-the gifts we have made,
when we forget the things we re-
ceive. Third, receiving without
giving tends to contract all the
better qualities of our nature,
while giving expands them.
Fourth, receiving without giving
brings neither honor to God nor
man, while giving brings rewards
here and hereafter. The sermon
was strong and was greatly appre-
ciated by the audience.
The collections for missions.
etc. were all larger than usual and
fuller, it is stated, than ever be-
fore in the history of the associa-
ton.
The reports from the various
committees were all gratifying and
showed healthy growth of the
churches.
Among the visiting brethren
present were DIR. w. 2. Harvey
and DR.. j. &. Doe, of Louisville;
j. N. Hall; Revs, McChord, Spur
lin, Vaughn, Conway. Written
breaker, Gregston and Oliver.
Rev. j. s. Miller was chosen as
the associations representative to
the Southern Baptist, convention,
and Rev. X. A. LaRue alternate.
Grand Rivers was chosen as the
place for the meeting of the ASSOC
citation in 1901, and Rev. r. A. La
Rue was selected to preach the in
troductory sermon.
The largest crowd was in atten-
dance Thursday, and it Is estimat-
ed that 1000 people were present
that day. The Caldwell Springs
people took care of and entertain
ed the ASSOCIATION handsomely.
There were pleasant homes for all;
there was a bountiful supply of the
very best edibles, and the fine
spring at the church afforded plen-
ty of pure, cool water. The meet
ing of 1900 at Caldwell Springs
will be remembered as one of the
best-if not the best-in the his
tory of the Ohio River Associa-
ton.

new and original design for handsome
costume. The velvet is Of a rich myrtle

satin, and black silk passementerie In
conventional design / oes round the skirt
and appears also on the waistband and bod
ice The upper part of the sleeves is also
covered with passementerie, and the green
velvet forms deep cuffs, with bands of
chinchila just above the elbow. The vest
Is Of tucked satin, with bands Of passe-
menterie at the top. and little Inner vest
of creamy guipure lace. The large fur col
lar which extends over the tops Of the
sleeves, is of chinchila, and the hat is of
green velvet, trimmed with black ostrich
feathers.
This dress would look exceedingly hand

and 1t could also be trimmed with mink.

could be made in corded silk or faced
cloth Of very fine quality, lined with satin
of a contrasting shade. If the sleeves We're
made entirely of velvet, the garment could
be worn as a coat over blouse bodices Of
different kinds.

Things to Forget.
. st. Louis Globe-Democrat,


Forgetting has its pleasures because it
permits the closing Of the minds eyes to
harsh experiences and depressing Incidents
The blues are a common complaint. If wo-
men are most affected with them they are
most disastrous to men. They come at diff
ferent times and in different ways to every
one. They are the lowlands of life, full of
miasma through which all travellers must
pass; some oftener than others. The blues
feed upon the blues. Miasma breeds mias-
ma. me way TO get rIu of the dumps Is
when one is IN the lowest spirits to call I'D
before the mental vision memories of the
brightest hour. On the contrary, defeat Is
emphasized and despair made perennial by
the remembrance of other defeats and past
despa!ring moments.
1t is not a crime to fail, but 1t is a crime
against ones better nature to brood upon
failures. The fellow who forgets failures
may succeed. He certainly VIII not if he
goes into every new battle cowed and cow
ering at the recollection of past defeats
Dwellers in swamp grow to have the life
less look of the lowlandS. Remembrance
of the blues makes one blue. No man is
ever born pessimist He becomes one by
forgetting the wrong things.

This IS the biography of gentleman who
is spending his faliow days in jail in one
of the southern states because of something
that does not come at all into this narra-
tive.
Sidney Langdon came to Rangoon, in
Burma with a theatrical aggregation The
company had a name. but no matter, Tor
probably the members are not all In jail
They came up somewhere from the south
erIi seas-Singapore Penang way, and the
cashiers billet had become a hollow mock
cry, for they played to bad business. In
Rangoon their thea trical ship plunged for
the last time, sank hope.ess.y and they
wer left stranded. Sidney Langdon the
manager up to that time had financed
with extraordinary ability. When business
was bad Langdons wits came into play
and tided them over the immediate diff
Guilty. He won them out OF Australia with
his gun at pigeon matches. for he was a
crack shot. He borrowed them out OF
Hong Kong, for next to shooting he was an
adept at the art of raising a loan. Just
how they got out of Singapore nobody
could quite say. not even themselves. but
embarrassed.
If il had been a circus, they would have
made money in RangoOn. for that's the one
sort of European entertainment the Bur-
mese will flock to. Given trick eggplant,

CURIOUS TYPE OF CRANK.
Those Who Confess Crimes They Never
Committed Annoy the Police.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The most curious type of crank in the
world in my humble opinion" said an old
police officer, lis the fellow who makes
fake confession. The outside public has no
idea how frequently that sort of thing oc-
ours. Whenever we have a murder mystery
the authorities are absolutely certain TO
hear from one or more people who assert
positively that they have committed the
crime and whose stories are generally self
evident fabrlcations. AS rule the confess
sion crank writes a letter, and now and
then the communications SO plausible
and crcumstantal that the police would be
thrown completely off the track were it not
for the fact that they are always on their
guard for just that kind of false leads 1t
is very strange, and there seems to be alb
solutely no motive beyond an insane pas
sion for meddling. Occasionally the crank
will present himself in person and insist
upon being locked up, but his first few
words Will usually betray him, and. unless
he is violent, he is quietly escorted to the
door. A very singular incident of that kind
took place seven or eight years ago in con-
necton with a mysterious murder In the
.Tenderlon district.
"One evening a young man who belonged
to an excellent family of this city called at
headquarters and astonished everybody by
declaring he had committed the crime.
little questioning showed that his story
could not possibly be true, and finally he
admitted that he was lying. My curiosity
was highly excited, and, taking him to one
side, l tried to draw from him the reason
that had prompted such an extraordinary
and dangerous piece of folly. He told me.
with hysterical tears, that he had brooded
about the case and found strange and
pleasurable excitement in making believe
that he was the man who had done the
deed. That grew upon him until, l suppose,
1t became next door to an halucinaton. At

ton. OF course, such a man should have
been placed under restraint as a dangerous
monomaniac, but the police have no facili-
ties for handling cases of this kind. and the
family were averSe to sending him to an
asylum. l see him frequently on the streets
Some few false confessions are made for
the deliberate purpose of misleading the
authorities, and, again, they are sometimes
made by prisoners solely to secure trans
fer to another city. 1t is brand of crank
iness that might well interest a specialist"

Microbes ON Doorknobs.

The latest lair to which scientists have
traced the merry mlcrobe is the doorknob.
The organisms thrive on these innutritious
substances. it appears, and in a round of
calls one may collect variety of germs
from the doors of cabs, houses and trolley
cars. The danger may be obviated by anti
septic gloves, it is said, but, considering
the unconcern with which women now
gather up the bacteria of the streets with
their sweeping draperies, one does not ex-
pect them to be inordinately nervous about
the few organisms that may attach them
selves to their fingers.
