WORLDLY BEAUTY,

Don't grieve over friends departed,
II lost or living or Dead
Be jolly and bright and happy
And you'll find many more instead.
And the world is full of beauty
For those who can suffer and smile,
While the sweetest task is duty,
Though adrift on a barren isle.
II you're worthy Of love. you'll get It.
And there never was yet day
That l couldn't see some beauty
AS travelled my worldly way.

President william Mckinley shot Twice
Last Friday 90 fnnalo, N.Y.

President William Mckinley was
shot twice at Buffalo, n. y, Friday
Of last week. The President and
party were receiving at The temple
Of music at the exposition. While
they were shaking hands with the
people in line a we'll dressed stran-
ger approached and extended his
left hand, which President McKin-
ley reached forth to grasp. As he
did so, the man, who had a hand
kerchief around his right hand,
fired twice in quick succession.
One shot struck the President in
the left breast and the other per-
forated the stomach, passing en-
tirely through.
The name of the Presidents as
saliant is Leon Czolgosz, and he is
from Cleveland, 0. He is a rabid
anarchist, and gives no motive for
his fendish deed save his oath in
this organization. He is supposed
to have drawn the lot of murder
ing the President.
Czolgosz admits that he is an an
archist, and says he is Of Polish ma
tionality. He was at once seized
and held until officers reached him
when he was hurried through 6
mob to the police station, where
he is securely confined.
At first it was thought that Pres
ident Mckinley was fatally wound
ed, but the physicians in attend
ance say now there is every reason
to look for his speedy recovery
While they have not announced
positively that he will get well
they all seem sure of it.
TIE CHRONICLE is pleased to an
nounce to its readers this Opinion
Of the Presidents physicians, an
we hope that a great calamity ha
been averted.

FOR COUNTY COURT CLERK.

In this issue of The CHRONICLE
we present the name of Prof. w. d.
Cooper as a candidate for the Office
of county court clerk. Professor
Cooper is young man of many
sterling qualities. and possesses ev-
cry qualification necessary to the
filling Of the important position to
which he aspires. Born and rear
ed in old Benton, he knows her
every need and is peculiarly fitted,
in every sense, for the discharge Of
the responsible duties of clerk.
Professor Cooper began his educa-
ton at Big Sandy, and in 1894 he
entered school at Murray, KY, for
one session. He was elected prin-
cipal Of the graded school at Cold
water, KY, where he taught until
January, 1896. He then entered
the Southern Normal University,
where he completed the scientific
course. In 1898 he was elected
principal of the Benton Seminary,
which position he still holds, with
honor to himself and to Benton
county as well. In spite Of the
meager advantages Of his boyhood
days, which were spent on the farm,
Professor Cooper is a self-made
man. He comes Of old Democratic
stock, and has always been a Dem
ocrat. He is an exemplary citizen,
a moral, christian gentleman, and
is prompt and active in all business
transactions. His present aspira-
tionsare the outgrowth of a demand
Of his many friends, and he submits
his claims to the Democratic voters
of Benton County with the con-
seriousness that his good record as
a man, as a teacher and as citizen
entities him to a fair and favorable
consideration at their hands.

Cultivate Beauty of Spirit.

Intelligence and common sense in re-
gard to the laws of health will change
a comparatively ordinary looking wom-
an into a creature who can claim her
own share of good looks. Such a wom-
an will eat only healthy. nutritious
food and endeavor to get a good sup
ply of fresh air each day. She will
know that bath taken before retiring
each night is essential to preserve her
health and beauty. A sponge bath TAX

MAKE JOKE OF DISCIPLINE.

Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend Brady in his Under
Topsls and Tents" is this. 1t Is re-
lated that large number Of naval
cadets were negligent in following the
service in the chapel. which was after
the ritual of the Episcopal church. An
incautious officer in charge on Sunday
morning made a little address to the
church party on the subject, saying he
supposed that some of them erred
through ignorance, but II they would
observe him carefully and do as he did

tions OF the commanding offlcer) they
would not go wrong. Word was passed
quietly through the battalion. They
marched into the church. The officer
in cnarge tcoK his place in the front
pew, settled himself in his seat and
calmly blew his nose. Three hundred
noses were blown simultaneously with
a vehemence that was startling. The
officer looked around and blushed vio-
lently In great surprise. Three hundred
heads followed the motions of the
commanding officer Six hundred
cheeks violently tried to blush-a hard
thing for midshlpman to do-and SO
on through the service. The man could
not stir without instant imitation. He
finally confined himself strictly to the
prescribed ritual of the service. look
ing neither to the right nor to the left.
not daring to raise n finger or breathe
out OF the ordinary course. This en-
terprise also was startling success
The cadets received other instructions
later in the day from furious officer
who sternly resented their innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not.
and that e had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on diff
ferent plane from saying his prayers
