Thanksgiving Exercises.

Appropriate Thanksgiving exer-
cises were held at the public school
yesterday afternoon. After their
songs and recitations were over
the children brought up their char
ity offerings, which filed three large
baskets. These provisions are dis
tributed to the poor of the town,
who are always grateful to the
school children for this beautiful
custom, which they have observed

ALMOST A HOLOUp.
But Unaccommodatins Circumstance,
Only Kept a Correspondent
Waiting.
AND SPOILED A GOOD STORY.

Considerable excitement and un-
easiness was occasioned at Dawson
Springs, st. Charles, and other
points along the line Of the Illinois
Central railroad Tuesday night by
the temporary loss of the fast pas
senger train eastbound that should
have passed up in the afternoon. 1t
is train No. 102, due at Dawson
Springs shortly after o'clock in the
afternoon. Tuesday she was late,
because of q wreck away down the
road, and did not pass Dawson until
$3.50 at night. Dawson is night
telegraph office, but st. Charles is
not and the train did not reach Nor
tonville in q reasonable time. 1t is
only eight miles from Dawson to
st. Charles, and the chief dispatcher
at Paducah worked the long dis
tance telephone to get the St
Charles operator up. About 1l:3C
the St. Charles operator got to his
key, but no train had showed up
yet and all the telephone and tele-
graph lines were agog.
The st. Charles section man was
called, but he said the fast pas
senger train was not due yet and
went back to bed. People began tc
speculate about holdup near Box
town and relief expeditions were
talked of. Finally freight tram
passed Dawson coming east and
the wires sighed sigh of relief.
At 12 O'Clock, over three hours
after the delayed train had passed
Dawson Springs, the train with its
sleepy load of live freight reached
st. Charles in tow of the freight that
had found the passenger engine
broken down on one side about two
miles out of Dawson and unable tt
get off her center.
And so the few who were next
went to bed and the newspaper cor
respondent who waited up for q
scoop" did not catch a story abou
holdup or a wreck and he also
slept.

Judge Hall is doing the right thing
in dispensing the camps of idle work
men in the Hopkins county mining
district. "An idle brain is the dew
lis Workshop" This has been
shown by the murders committed in
three counties since the trouble be-
gan year ago. The effort to union

proven a failure and further agita-

ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
Burt Williams Found Dead Near Norton.
vile With Gunshot Wounds.


Burt Williams, whose home Is at,
or near Underwood, a little place on
the Illinois Central Railroad, west
of and near Nortonville, was found
dead near the track of that road
two miles west of Nortonville Tues
day morning about o'clock. He
had been shot, the coroner's verdict
said, by unknown parties. Seven
buckshot were found to have struck
his left side and five entered his left
arm. In addition there was a hole
in his head that was thought to
have been made by charge Of
small shot fired at very close range.
The theory has been advanced that
Williams was shot from a distance
with the heavy shot, then finished
by his assailant, who came up to
him after he had fallen and fired
the bird shot into his head. The re-
mains were buried yesterday at
Salem, one mile south of Norton
vile. There seems to be no clue to
the murderer. Williams had been a
frequenter of the Nortonville camp.

obstinate cough and little pain in

SOUTHERN MOUNTAINEERS.
The Part They Played In the War
Between the States.

It Is odd to think that the southern
mountaineer was not discovered until
the outbreak Of the civil war, although
he was nearly century old then, and
it Is really startling to realize that
when one speaks Of the southern noun
taineers he speaks Of nearly 100000
people who live in eight southern
states-Virginia and Alabama and the
southern states between-and occupy
q region equal in area to the combined
areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
big, say, as the German empire, and
richer, perhaps, in timber and mineral
deposits than any other region Of SIM
liar extent In the world. This region
was and Is an unknown land. 1t has
been APPLY called Appalachian Ameri-
ca, and the work Of discovery Is yet
going on.
The American mountaineer was dis
covered. say, at the beginning Of the
war, when the Confederate leaders
were counting on the presumption that
Mason and Dixon's line was the diyid-
ing line between the north and south
and formed therefore, the plan Of
marching an army from Wheeling to
some point on the lakes and thus dis
severing the north at one blow. The
plan seemed so feasible that it Is said
to have materially aided the sale Of
Confederate bonds In England, but
when Captain Garrett n West Point
graduate, started to carry it out he got
no farther than Ilarpers Ferry. When
he struck the mountains, he struck en-
emies who shot at his men from am
bush, cut down bridges before him,
carried the news of his march to the
Fedcrals, and Garnett himself fell
with bullet from mountaineer's
squirrel rifle at Harpers Ferry.-Scrib-
ner's Magazine.

When Irving Forgot Himself.

daughter Julie, of which Didler (Mr.

One night Sir Henry. instead of max
ing his long speech, appealed In trem'
bling tones to Mr.. Webster: "Speak to
her, Didier; speak to her! Older was
dumfounded. There was an awful
pause. Irving, quite unconscious OF
his own mistake, frowned wrathfully
Mt the young actor, but Mr.. Webster,
equal to the occasion, gave way to
burst of tears and exclaimed, II can
not; you know cannot speak,! and
turned his back on the audience.
Then Sir Henry picked up his lines
with a start, and 1t was observed that
Didier's shoulders shook with emotion!

MOST PEOPLE LOPSlDED.
Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
md Ears of Men and Women.

Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
and Ears of Men and Women.
The two sides of persons face are
never alike The eyes are out OF line
in two cases out of five and one eye is
stronger than the other in seven per-
sons out of ten. The right ear Is Also
as a rule, higher than the left.
Only one person In IS has perfect
eyes, the largest percentage of defects
prevailing among fair haired people.
Short sight il more common In town
than among country folk, and of all
people the Germans have the largest
proportion Of shortsighted persons
The crystalline lens of the eye is the
one portion of the human body which
continues to increase with the attain
ment Of maturity.
The smallest interval of sound can
be better distinguished with one ear
than with both. The nails Of two
fingers never grow with the same ra-
pidity, that of the middle finger grow
Ing the fastest, while that Of the thumb
grows the slOwest.
In 81 cases out Of 100 the left leg
is shorter than the right. The bones
of an average human male skeleton
weigh 90 pounds, those of woman are
six pounds lighter.
That unruly member the tongue OF
q woman is also smaller than that of
man, given a man and woman of
equal size and weight 1t may be APP
palling to reflect, but it Is nevertheless
true, that the muscles of the human
jaw exert a force of over 500 pounds.
The symmetry which Is the sole In
telligible ground for our idea of beauty,
the proportion between the upper and
lower half of the human body, exists
In nearly all males, but Is never found
in the female. American limbs are
more symmetrical than those Of any
other people. The rocking chair, ac.
cording to an English scientist, Is re-
sponsible for the exercise which in
creases the beauty Of the lower limbs.
The push which the toes give to keep
the chair In motion, repeated and re
peated, makes the instep high, the calf
round and full, and it makes the ankle
delicate and slender.-Exchange.

PRECIOUS STONES.
The Methods by Which They Are
Tested by Experts.

VesteO ny Experts.
In a lecture on precious stones re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
association of Berlin, DR.. Emmanuel
Friedlaender said that the testing Of
diamonds is comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness suffices. II
the stone resists strong attacks, 1t Is
certain to be genuine; If it does not,
the damage Is insignificant, as only an
imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however, Is doubtful with rubies.
If ruby can be affected by q steel
file or by quartz, 1t is surely not gen.
uine, but such a test with topaz Is
liable to injure valuable stone.
The test for hardness Is Of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone is not
much harder than quartz and In addi-
ton possesses the quality Of cracking
easily.
For examining rubies and emeralds
the optical test Is best. A glass mag
nlfying about 100 times suffices. Ev-
cry expert knows that almost all pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have
many defects, which are so character
istic that the genuineness Of the stones
is readily established. Such test Is
very necessary with rubies, because
the limitations are very deceiving
Their color Is absolutely durable and
often much finer than that Of the gen.
ulne, although it may be stated that
somewhat yellowsh tint Is always sus-
plcious.
The only reliable way In which gen.
uine rubies can be told from limitations
Is by the minute air bubbles Of the lat
ter, which become clearly visible UNI
der the magnifying glass. These are
not to be found in the natural gem.
On the other hand, the limitations lack
certain defects characteristic Of gen.
uine rubies-certain vacuums, whose
outlines are much more indistinct than
those of the air bubbles in limitations.
True emeralds have similar charac-
terstic defects, such as Enclosures Of
liquids and curious dendrites. Sap
phires also show peculiar netlike for
nations.

SWEET IDoLATRY.

Deep in dreamy. ancient wood,
Where once a mighty temple stood
In grandeur md the fertile lands,
A ruin centuries old now stands.
Its crumbled walls meath mosses green
So thiclSly buried scarce 'tis seen.
Its columns fallen to decay;
Its grandeur long since passed away.
Amid this wreck. triumphant still
Der Time, which thus hath worked its
will
Upon this temple. carved in stone,
An ancient idol stands alone;
Sits pcnsive on its granite throne,
With lichens thicLly overgrown.
On either side the forest dank.
With tangled brake and creepcrs rank,
Bars any seeking to intrude
upon the IDOLS solitude.
Above twincs many leafy limb
To form covering for him.
Below. cen at its granite base.
A pool filings back the IDOLS face.
And from green pads uron it spread
The stately lotus rears its head.
There, in its dreamy solitude.
A thousand ycars the god hath stood
A thousand years. each summer through
The lotus heart hath proven true;
Hath breathed the fragrance of its love
To please that stony face above.
While stands the image in the grove
That loyal flower will prove It's love-
Though vain it's efforts 90 beguile.
IL aye will strive TO win the smile,
\ fate true love hath often known
To waste its sweetness on Il stone.
