Girls of the Suburbs Retain Their Popularity With City Young

Suburban girls. particularly those Of Web

them up: hammocks swinging in seques-

1t may possibly be somewhat Of this, but
I incline toward the belief that it is the
girls themselves. their own sweet selves,
lines early each evening with stay-at-home
young men.
Young men like the suburban maids more
than passing well, it's true. They go out
to Webster early and they stay until late
early. Then they miss the last car. Ac-
cidentaily? Well. accidentally on purpose.
Then Miss Suburb. or rather her mother,
is forced to come out to the piazza and

Venus visited her heroic son, the
renowned Achilles, in the silent
hours of the night and warned
him of his fate, that on the NOR
row beneath the trenchant sword
of the mailclad Trojan, he would
fall in the crimson paths of war.
When Mr.. Marshall arose to
speak he seemed much embarrassed
as if some Goddess mother was
telling him that his burden was
greater than Atlas could bear.
To cope with the illustrious
orators who had preceded him
from those steps, he must beg
the strength of Hercules or the
giant Cyclops, who piled Ossa on
Pelion. After hesitating in his
speech, like school boy with his
first Grafton, he raised his Apollo
like form to his full height, in
majestic style, like one poised for
the painters brush or the sculp-
tors chisel, with eye beneath the
broad letting brow of the states
man orator, flashing with the frey
flame of oratory, as lit by Pro-
methean spark, with every nerve
strung to its utmost and every
muscle quivering with the excite
ment of the grand occasion, he
spoke in words as sweet as the
honey of Hybla, and voice as
musical as the charming Calypso.
We feel incompetent to the task
to appear before this vast audi
ence, for from these time honored
steps have preceded us such orators
as Wickliffe, Hardin, Morehead,
Garrett Davis, Metcalfe and q
host of others to whom we bow as
peers, to whom we give the laurel
wreath for intellectual grandeur,
orators endowed and blessed with
inspiring eloquence, a heaven
born gift, smore precious than
pearl or ruubies, the wealth OF

Ormus OF of Ind. May the
memory of those illusterious
orators fire our hearts with celes-
tial zeal to speak their glorious
history. May the hallowed spirits
of our sainted fathers, fill our
breast with the genius of inspired
eloquence to declare to the world
the memorable acts of the people
of this grand State, renowned as
the land of chivalry, and the
birthplace of eloquent oartors. "
When Mr.. Clay died Tom. Mar
shall was invited by the loving,
sorrowing people of Kentucky to
deliver the panegyric at his fun
eral. The mourning cortege and
outburst of sorrow for the dead
statesman was the greatest ever
witnessed on this American conti-
nent. Over the cypress-draped bier
of the unsepulchered statesman,
Mr.. Marshall uttered in eulogy
that the wise Ulysses had gone on
his long wandering, and there
was none left to bend the bow of
the towering Agamemnon. That
historic Apostrophe from Ken
tucky's most eloquent living
orator, to the dead statesman, the
most distinguished of any age
or country, has echoed from the
snow-capped Aleghanies, across
green valleys to the far-off
Hesperides, where the stormy
Orion and weeping Pleiades are
singing songs of glory to his
memory.
When Mr.. Marshall died, Ken
lucky could boast of no orator on
the hastings equal of him who
honored Clay in eulogy. Nc
orator has ever spoken in Language
so resplendant of her or statesman
as when Mr.. Marshall in eulogy

torical outburst of eloqusnce over

the dead body of Richard Mene-
fee. That flaming flash of burn
ing eloquence; that sublime
apostrophe to Kentucky's cher
ished son, Menefee, will go echo
ing down the vista of the rolling
years decked with halo of unfad-
ing glory.
In the vast domain of the I'M
known, impenetrable milky bal
dric of the skies, where are two
golden, glittering consultations
called the twin stars, through all
the ceaseless years revolving
around each other in joyous har-
mony, rejoicing in their brilliant
beauty and gorgeous grandeur.
Through all time to come, the
names of Menefee and Marshall
will be linked together as bright
consultations in the galaxy of
fame, illustrious orators, distin-
guished statesmen, bright lumi-
naries adjoining in shining glory
the stalwart archway of Ken
tucky's glorious history.

TRIBUTE TO TOM MARSHALL.

We give below the following
tribute to one of Kentucky's
peerless orators, which is from
the pen of our friend, DR.. John
o. Scott, of Sherman, Texas:
When Thomas Marshall, the
famous Kentucky orator, visited
Frankfort he nearly always made
his stoppiong place at the hospita-
BILE mansion of Col. Orlando
Brown, who, too, was a dlstln-
guished Kentucky statesman and
orator. When a school boy it was
our good fortune to live as one OF
the family of that hospitable
Kentuckian.
It has been said that Mr.. Mar
shall never prepared his speeches,
that they we're the offspring OF
heaven-born genius, that they
were the outcome of some great
inspiring occasion. We recollect
the night before he made his cele-
brated speech when he was State
elector, that he spent most of the
night preparing that eloquent
grafton. Often he would arise
from his bed and break the
silence of the night with charm
ing outbursts of grand, sublime
and matchless eloquence. The
next night he made the most
eloquent oratorical effort of his
life. The speech was delivered
on the Capital grounds, from the
steps of the Statehouse. 1t
seemed that every leaf, every twig,
every tree joined that vast audi
ence in applause for the enchant-
ing and wonderful eloquence of
that man, gifted with matchless
oratory, such as few others have
been in the history of Kentucky.
1t has been said that the Goddess

STRANGE BUT TRUE.

One evening this week we were
talking with one of our most
prominent physicians who made
the statement that the health of
this city was exceptionally good.
Just now. He cited the fact that.
usually, in a given time, he would
be called upon to make from
twenty to twenty-five calls, while
in the same length of time, that
day, he had made only nine.
We were surprised at the state
ment, but, upon taking up a
Louisville paper that same day
we saw like statement from the
Health officer, DR.. NJ. X. Allen,
he stating that the improvement
had been eighteen per cent. in
the whole city of Louisville.
Naturally one would suppose
that such extremely hot weather
would cause an increase in dis
ease.
Thus the Ali-Father balances the
good and evil in the conditions
of life. Blessed be His namel

The BARRIERS calling Is supported by
government. What II his little squat
razor only covers an inch or two at the
time and makes the operation unneces.
sarily tedious. He has the advantage
of knowing that he represents lawful
authority. He ought never to suffer
from being out of work.
Then his perquisite. the combings,
makes up fer natural deficiency. He
can sell at clear profits tails of his own
collecting and making. Perhaps the
fact that Chinese hair offers little vari-
ETY. In color simplifies this article of
commerce. The more sable the better.
Children's heads are shaved in order

A Chinaman plaits white silk into his

Tales Of a tail might be multiplied.
The Chinaman's Is more expressive
than any that has not the power to wag
with satisfaction or droop with dismay.
For convenience In work 1t is fastened
up in coil, but for q man to speak to
his superior without letting 1t down Is
an insult. No Christian would enter
church In this dishabille. A stranger
might possibly do so. and In such a
case, before beginning the service. the
officiating minister would fix him with
q glance and politely-for the natives
expect politeness under all circum-
stances-address him, "Sir. will you
kindly let down your tail?"-Quiver.
