Sunday, May 18th, was a happy day
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe
Tucker, of Spring Hill, it being the oc-
casion of family reunion as well as the
birthday of their daughter, Mrs. Frank
Cowsert. The four boys, Messrs. Joe
NJ, Thos j., Ed and George (of Louis
ville) md their wives, and the daughter,
Mrs. Cowsert and her husband, and all
the grandchildren were present. 1t was
the first time in q years that all the
family have been permitted to gather
together at one time. The magnificent
spread at noon consisted of substantially
ana delicacies Of every sort-the fat
turkey, juicy pig and chicken, the
succulent bivalve, golden oranges,
whipped sylabub, as delicate as poet s
dream, ice-cream, cakes, tropical fruits
of all varieties, and amber coffee pre-,
pared in the orthodox fashion. The
greatest treat to the children was the
ride on the old family mule-all "going
aboard" at one time. Mr.. and Mrs
Tucker count this reunion as one of the
happiest events of their lives, and shall
carry its impression to the close of life
and if all are so fortunate as at last TO
meet in heaven, the remembrance of il
will brighten their joys there. $50

A Soldiers Opinion.

A soldier in the Philippines writes
letter to a New York paper de-
scribing our new possessions in the
Orient thus:
1.-The Filipinos are a bunch of
trouble gathered together on the
western horizon of uncivilization.
They are bounded on the north by
rocks and destruction, on the east
by typhoons, on the south by canni
balls and earthqua kes, on the ives
by hoodoos and smugglers.
THE soil is extraordinarily fertile,
producing large crops of instruction
and trickery. The climate is pleas
ant and healthful for scorpions,
centipedes, snakes and alligators.
The principal exports are rice, hemp,
sick soldiers and war bulletins. The
principal imports are American
soldiers, arms, ammunition, beer
and tobacco.

UTILITY PLANT.
Many Uses to which Chinese Put the
bamboo.

bamboo.
1t is difficult 1Ur anybody who has
never visited the Celestial empire to
form the remotest conception of what
tie possession of the bamboo means to
the Chinese. From cradle to grave
there is not a feature of their daily
life, either in work or pleasure into
which it does not enter, nor a corner
of their homes in which it cannot be
found fulfilling one or other of its null
hilarious uses. In this country we
know the bamboo chiefly in the form
of miscellaneous articles of furniture,
but in China it not only furnishes the
house, but it is used for the framework
Of the structure, while the leaves are
employed to thatch it. The water
supply is carried in bamboo pipes,
both for domestic use and for the
purposes of irrigating the tea planta-
tions; the bamboo agrestis, spiky
variety, is used to form hedge
around these plantations and other in
closures. The shoots Of one kind,
Bambusa tulda, are boiled when young
and eaten like asparagus, with lam
boo chopsticks, or sometimes picf.ed,
and the seeds are used as substitute
for rice. Mattresses and pino|s are
stuffed with bamboo shavings; the
tisherman's raft is made of bamboo,
and SO are his ropes, sails, and poles;
the paper the Chinese write on, their
collins, musical instruments, soldiers
spears, medicines, cooking utensils,
pens, brushes, bird cages, blinds,
waterwheels fans, measures, and a
| thousand and one indispensable ar
ticles of every day life are all fashion
| ed from it.
Its leaves, sewn together, make
| somewhat rough, but quite waterE oot
garments, and in the joints of the
stems of some varieties stones resem-
bling opals are found. The baby sleeps
in bamboo cradle, and in certain dis
tricts criminals are executed by being
tied over a variety which grows TWO
feet in twenty-four hours and lett
there until the plant pierces theF
bodies and kills them.-Golden Penny

Irrigation is destroying many fish IN
the rivers of Nebraska. Some time ago
a dam was put in Shell creek, near
Sci uyler The entire flow of water was
cut off and subgerted to the adjoining
field, leaving the creek below to run
dry. No water was left below the
dam but small pools, and thousands
of FISH were killed on this account

The newspaper that makes no
enemies isn't worth the paper on
which it is printed. Every day there
is published something i'm real
newspaper which some one for their
own personal reasons would like to

have "A warm friend, person who
has been friend for years; it may
have done hm ninety nine favors,
but let it refuse To do MIN the hum
dredth or let il say something which
he thinks contrary to his interest,", or
tell the truth about him when he
doesn't want the truth told, and that
person becomes an enemy. He Is

The Baseball Season.

The annual parely of the baseball
managers has come to an end In both
leagues and within a few days the
ardent patrons of the sport will be
shiveringly watching the opening
spring games from the bleachers. In
view of the situation which developed
last season, the experiences Of the year
should be of unusual interest as in
dicating what is to be the status Of
baseball in the future. Two leagues
are again in the field competing for
players. and In some cases competing
also for patronage. with conflicting
dates In the same cities. Whether the
interest In baseball In these cities ia
to wane or increase would seem to
rest largely upon the success with
which the managers keep the clubs in
those cities near the top Of the list.
However much the public may have
come to regard any one organization
as representative of professional base
Dall, the first consideration will hn
the game itself Whether or not two
leagues are desirable, now that two
have been formed let the aim on both
sides be to put up the very best kind

Tramp Corporosions.
state.

A revised corporation law went into
effect in West Virginia few days
ago. That state still hopes to compete
with New Jersey in the business Of
creating large corporations for pur-
poses of state revenue. The new law
places no limit upon the capitaliza-
tion Of a company. but it requires the
payment Of a license fee and an an
nual tax. each of which varies from
500 to $1.010 on corporations ranging
up to $4.000,000 capitalization. with
$50 extra for each added million. The
most undesirable feature of the law is
found In the fact that the state does
not hold the corporations it creates to
account. 1t creates them and turns
them loose on other states.
