Why Some Men FaiI.


 Why Some Men Fail. My song is this: Why some men miss, In life, their chosen goal They seek to fill, with half the will, A plan that needs the whole. They SOW the seed on mount and mead. And wait to see 1t spread; While, half concerned, they leave. un- The clod upon its head. They waste in play the light of day. Knowing that there will come, At even-fall, the welcome call To eat the unearned crumb. Thus down the tide of life they glide, Tn poverty and pain, Leaving undone, from sun to sun, The things that lead to gain. But when the last lone hope is past. No more to light their way; And all is lost-they learn the cost Of doing things halfway. Edwin T. Jones, in Success.
 A Great scheme. The editor said: ssTeu 'em all I'm dead,
 I'll just stretch out on the table; They're bound to pay To put me away, And we'll get some cash for a rainy day. So work. the scheme if you're able And he stretched him out, And there seemed no doubt That the man was dead as Hector, And they all drew near To his seeming bier And they laid the money they owed him
 there,
 And the corpse was the bill collector. He heard them sigh Saw the cash piled high; But how did their cold veins jingle As the corpse, with smile, Reached out for the pile While in just ten seconds they made a
 mile
 And danced jig to it's jinglei = IF. l.. stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.

There are girls who call me friend When I've lots of cash to spend. There are girls with whom such times
 like to joke, Who are sweet as sweet can be When Dame Fortune smiles on me-
 I'm broke There are girls who treat me nice, Fen when giving them advice, Though my money may their petulancy
 cloak; For they snub me very pat e When my pocketbook Is flat And there's only one who loves me when

is to be regretted that the resour-

however, to know that Kentucky

every State in the Union and
taking up engineering work of
the highest type.
The technical education a

Inasmuch as it is common

thing" he said, "and we have
INDUCED in it freely on this oc-

such a scale that no Kentuckian

that we will exert every infiu-

an appropriation from the next

Kentucky may be creditably rep

BRAVE GIRL
Kills Thirteen Snakes With a Stick

Harrodsburg, KY, Aug. q
Yesterday near Mayo, this coun-
ty, Miss Minnie Bishop, daughter
of Mr.. George Bishop, was driv-
ing up the young turkeys when
they suddenly scattered in every
direction. Peering over into the
weeds to see what had alarmed
the turkeys she beheld a writhing
mass of entwined serpents. A
more timid girl would have fed
in terror from SO horrible a sight,
but not SO with Miss Minnie, who
secured a heavy stick and made
war on them, and succeeded in
killing thirteen of the bunch.
In the same neighborhood the
same day John Munday was out
in the meadow with a shot gun
and ran upon snake. The rep
tile showed fight, and on tail end
began circling around him, draw
ing closer each time, and Munday
shot its head off. 1t was big

A DASTARDLY DEED.
Attempted Assassination Of the Family Of
!. Bailey, Of Madisonville.
HOUSE RIDDLED WITH STEEL BULLETS

Last Monday morning about 2
o'clock some cowardly scoundrel
attempted to assassinate l. Bailey,
secretary of the Reinecke Coal
Co. or some member of his fam
lily. Twelve shots were fred in
all, either from Colts revolvers
or Winchester rifles. Three shots
passed through a window up
stairs where Mr.. Bailey's seven
year old daughter, Agnes, was
sleeping and through a wall on
the other side several shots struck
the house near the window and
Mr.. Bailey has one of the bullets
that passed through two walls of
cement and was picked up on
the floor in the hallway. 1t is a
49, callibre bullet cased in steel.
Irving Worthington, a guard
who was about the place, heard
the shots and saw two men run
ming after the last shot was fired !;
he could not tell who they were.
One bullet struck the residence
of L. r. Woodfolk near by. Mrs.
Bailey has been sick for several
days and she and Mr.. Bailey
were in an adjoining room to
that of her daughter when the
shooting occurred. No light
was burning in their room, the
light from the room which the
assaulters took for a target being
sufficient.
After examining the surround
ings carefully Mr.. Bailey says he
is satisfied there is only one place
from which the shots could have
been fired and that was about
$50 yards from his residence in a
direct line with the window.
That the shooting was carefully
planned there can be no doubt.
Mr.. Bailey has offered a re-
ward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the person or per-
sons who did the shooting. The
attack on Mr.. Bailey's residence
is denounced in the strongest
terms by all good, law-abiding
citizens. This wholesale noc-
turnal shooting of and at Maids
onville citizens has become rather
a common occurrence and will
no doubt continue as long as
the county harbors and shelters a
certain element of thugs and cut
throats that have for the past
few months made it their head
quarters.

Colorado Springs, COL, Aug. 5.
The Kentucky Press Associa-
tion was entertained at a ban
quet this evening at the Colorado
Springs Hotel by the Interstate
Fair Association of Louisville.
President Brown acted as chair
man, and as an Executive Com
mitteeman, represented the Fair
Association. Speeches were made
by Judge S. B. Toney, of Louis
vile; Judge John Fl. Kelly, of
the Bardstown Record, and w.
II. Jones, of the Glasgow Repub-
lican. The banquet, which was
held in the superb dining-rooms
of the hotel was attended by
many citizens of Colorado
Springs, as well as members of
the press. The Interstate Fair
is sure of hearty cooperation on
the part of the Kentucky Press.
The day was spent in a trip
through the "Garden of the
Gods" and up Pixies Peak, and
was greatly enjoyed. The Ken
tuckians are more than delighted
with this splendid Western trip.
