A Rocky Road.

A mans life is full of crosses

trip between the two extremes is
exceedingly rocky. The rules of

ant features OF the trip. When
he is little the big girls kiss him,
but when he is grown the little
girls kiss him. If he raises a
large family he is a chump, but
if he raises a small check he is a
thief and a fraud and summed
like a Chinaman with the seven
year itch. If he is poor he is a
lad manager, if he's rich he's
dishonest; if he's in politics it's
for pie, if he's out Of politics you.
can't tell where to place him and
he's no good for his country; if
he don't give to charity he's a,
stingy cuss and lives only for
himself, il he does give he's a
hypocrite and gives for show; if
he died young there was a great
future ahead of him, if he lives
to an old age he has missed his
calling. He is introduced to this
world by a doctor and to the next
one by the same process. The
road is rocky, but man lives to

BIG OIL STORY.
Details of Oil Strike Near Hender-
son-Tanks Have Been
Ordered.
FINEST OIL EVER SEEN"

Henderson, KY, Jan. 1S.-This
city is keenly excited tonight
over the fact that a we'll of fine
lubricating oil was struck by the
White Lick Gas and Oil Com
pany at 5 O'Clock this morning.
Experts began boring for oil on
the company's land, fifteen miles
southeast of this city, last Satur-
day, and went to a depth of 212
feet, where an abundant, steady
flow Of the oil was found. 1t
flowed so rapidly that boring had
to be stopped and the well
capped. Those on the ground
telephoned President Frayser in
this city, and he went directly to
the field, where he found all
hands in a fever of excitement
over the find. Mr.. III. M. Banks,
a Pennsylvania expert, who has
charge Of the boring, stated to
Mr.. Frayser that it was the finest
well of the finest oil he has ever
seen, and predicts that he will
have twenty wells of it within as
many weeks.
The oil has been analysed and
is 99-10pure Mbricating, % Ito
Illuminating and8 per cent par
affine, and is worth from $40 to
SIS per barrel. 1t was impossi-
BILE to measure the flow of the
well, but it is believed it will not
be less than fifty barrels.
The White Lick Gas and Oil
Company was organized two
months ago and incorporated.
They placed stock on the market
at So per share for the purpose of
raising a development fund.
Nearly every business man in this
city took stock, and tonight it is
valued at par by all who have
heard of the good fortune today.
Mr.. Frayser returned late this
afternoonand Immediately called
meeting of the directors, and
tanks were ordered shipped here
at once.

BORING FOR OIL.
Companies Ready TO Begin Operations
Near HopkinViIle.

Hopkinsville, KY, Jan. IT,
Preparations for oil boring are
being made by parties who are
now on the grounds for that pur-
pose, and the development of
some of the most extensive tracts
of oil lands in North Christian
will be under way in a few days.
The Daniel Boone Development
Company, which several weeks
ago acquired the territory of the
South Kentucky Oil Company,
have parties here now who are
getting everything in order to at
once commence sinking wells.
The leases held by this company
include $4,000 acres of land,
mostly in East Christian, around
Pilot Rock. This corporation is
organized under the laws of Ari-
iona and is backed by ample
capital.
Mr.. Hayden, the President,and
Mr.. Ballenger, the Secretary,
have been here for some days
going over the territory leased by
the company, accompanied by
the noted oil expert, j. H. Mar
shall, of Pittsburg. late of Beau
mont, Tex. Mr.. Marshall will
make report while here which,
it is understood, will be most
favorable to future develop
ments. He has already located
points at which two wells will
be bored. He will designate a
third while here. He will also
locate well for the Sand Lick
Development Company, recently
organized. President Hayden is
in Toledo to close contracts for
the immediate drilling of the
wells. "A portion of the machin-
cry has already arrived.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Hon. Jno. X. Bendrick, of
Livingston county, is an an
nounced candidate for Governor.
The Courier-Journal says he and
Judge James d. Black, of Bar
bourville, are the only publicly
announced candidates, though
others are expected before the
real fight begins.
Republicans in the Kentucky
Senate on Saturday broke a quo
rum and prevented a vote on the
Schley resolution which strongly
denounces the majority of the
Court of INQUIRY.
Justin Goebel has written a
letter to the commemorative at
torney of Kenton county demand
ing an early trial of the two In
dictments against him which
charge him with Containing
money from the clerks for pro-
curing them or retaining them
in places in the municipal gov
eminent of Covington." Mr..
Goebel explains one of these
cases in detail and says the other
is a parallel case. The explana-
ton given is that A. j. Lans-
downe, a clerk in the water
works department, paid Mr..
Goebel so moth to apply on
account of his uncle, Mr.. Bayles,
who was president of the water
works board. Mr.. Bayless was
indebted to Mr.. Goebel and the
latter was paying premiums of
life insurance policies on MIR.
Bayless' life to secure the debt.
The monthly payments made by
Landsdowne were to apply on
payment of premiums on this in
surance, and the contract to
make these SO monthly pay
ments was, Mr.. Goebel says, be-
tween Mr.. Bayless and his
nephew.
Mr.. John Feland says his con-
test case is, according to the law
in the case, regularly before the
Kentucky Senate. He quotes
law saying that all he required
to do was to file his papers with
the clerk of the Senate. This he
did but the clerk did not report
the contest as filed, saying it
was not his duty to file Mr.. Fee
lands papers. Mr.. Feland says
he will visit Frankfort and urge
his contest before the Senate.
Jno. B. Brasher has formally
announced that he is a candidate
for Congress.

CHRONICLES


Now, it came to pass in those
days that there dwelt a certain
man in the city of darlington in
that land which is dark and ex-
ceedingly bloody.
And he was skilled in all man
ner of knowledge pertaining to
nags and creeturs, insomuch that
he was known of all men as the
''hoss editor"
Now, when this man of nags
had waxed old, even unto two
score and ten, the hand of afflic-
ton was laid heavily upon him.
And as the waters fail away
from the sea and the flood decay
eth and drieth up, even so did he
of the nags waste away until he
was thin as that lemonade which
prevalent at circus.
Also did victuals cease to be
attractive unto him and slumber
forsook him until he became
weak as a good resolution. And
men who beheld him lamented,
saying: "In yet a little while
longer the editor of horses will
go up those stairs which are gold
en- and nary one of those horse
prophets will arise from this land
of the Boones and the Kentons.
And it came to pass he of the
nags had a vision by night, and
it was revealed unto him, saying:
"Why sit We here perishing as
sick kitten cleaveth unto an heat
ed stone? Arise, and dig We out
for that land which your fore
fathers took from the Indians,
even Tennessee; eat, drink and
be merry, for We shall live and
not de-"
Straightway he arose and gat
The him some duds within grip,
and getting upon a great chariot
whose flight was swift as the
flight of an eagle, rag was light
ed of him for that land which
aboundeth in mash which is ex-
ceedingly sweet.
And when he was come unto
the land of his youth the people
received him gladly, and they
placed meat before him and dew
from the mount of Cumberland,
and they entreated him to eat as
one that rolleth logs and to soak
his immortal soul In that which
tangleth the feet.
Moreover, the people gathered
as one man at appointed places
and besought him to come also
and make merry with them. And
they brought all manner of must
cal instruments, even unto Gym
balls and giant fiddles, and made
music which was sweeter than
that honey which remaineth in
the comb.
And it came to pass that come
ly maidens, more beauteous than
those of Mahomet's heaven, smil-
ed upon him and asked him, say
ing: cart thou a married man,
and hast thou many of those
which are called kids?" And he
Strove to evade the question and
said unto them: "Truly have L
been married, but mine wife and
self are now asundered. Con-
corning kids, / have not one upon
the face of the EARTH" Herein
the deceitful man sought to de-
ceiye, for he purposely thought
upon youthful goats, even while
he spake of children, and of a |
truth were he and his wife sepa-
rated because of his journey, and
by this cunning fable he deceived
many.
But they tempted him still
further, saying: GLOW old art |
thou, and why look We through |
glasses darkly, and why do thy |
knees tremble if not because of |
many years?"
And he saith unto the damsels:
''Thirty-seven summers have
passed over nv head and MANY

the night is come, and mine
knees tremble because of much
attendance upon those meetings
where prayer is wont to be made.
And as a patent pill is agreea-
BILE unto all men, even so did the
man of nags become all things
unto all men, and throughout the
length and breadth of the land
there was none so famed as he.
Unto those men who were old
en- did he expound the mysteries
of the law and straighten out all
the vexing kinks in theology,
making their pathway smooth
and clear right up to the eye of
the needle.
And he showed the mothers in
Israel how to knead the dough
that cakes might be baked more
readily, and taught them how to
make soap of exceeding softness
by troubling it with a sassafras
paddle.
Moreover, he played games
with the young men, using bits
of cardboard having certain spots
craven thereon, even an ancient
game which is called "Upwards
to Seven"
And it came to pass that he so
excelled in cunning that their
nickels and copper pieces disap-
peared as chaff fleeth before the
wind and his pockets bulged out
because of many "Barlows."
And with the maidens he sang
the giddy songs of youth and
leaped in may dances as bear
leaps when he treadeth upon
plates having been heated.
And being a magician, he be-
witched certain persons, causing
them to become frogs, and they
leaped upon the ground as toads,
and others he transformed into
snakes, and they slid upon the
earth after the manner of SER
pents.
Upon others did he cast spells,
causing them to have visions and
behold things even in far coun-
tries, and yet others he made to
fall in frances and become as
dead men.
And the people marveled and
said: "What manner of man is
he to do these mighty wonders?"
And some said: "He hath a
devil" So great diversion arose
among them,
And a certain patriarch be-
sought the people to send the
man of nags away to a far coun-
try, saying: "Doth not the law
of our fathers say that those hav-
ing familiar spirits shall not
abide in your midst? and this
man worketh through Belize
bub," but others said: "Nay,
nay. He believeth not that there
is so much as a devil"
Now, it came to pass on a GER
tain day the sons of men assem-.
bled at a place where turkeys
were wont to be shot and thither
also went the man of critters.
| And being filled with spirits,
when he was come nigh unto the
multitude, he leaped high into
the air and smote his heels to-
gether thrice and crew after the
manner of cocks and shouted the
warwhoop.
And he came unto them with a
voice as of mighty rushing wa
tiers, saying: "Look unto me,
all We Jews, Gentiles and country
jakes. Give ear unto my speech,
and hearken unto my words, for
a bad man from a creek exceed
ingly bitter is come among you.
