A TIMELY SUGGESTION

This is the season Of the year when
tie careful and prudent housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over. and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as so6n as the cold is con
tfacted and before it has become set
tied in tie system. In almost eyery
instance a severe cold may be warded
on by taking this remedy freely as
soen as the first Indication Of the cold
appears There is no danger in Civ
ing it to children for it contains no
harmful substance. 1t is pleasant to
take-both adults and children like It.

'All our material has been obtained
from British manufacturers. said Sir
David Hunter in a recent interview.
1T is rather an interesting fact that
the railway system of Natal is equipped
in every particular with motive power
and rolling stock of British manufac-
ture. ~ We have never tried American
locomotives; we have adhered to our
own types, which have always been
followed out in a progressive spirit.
The original engines on our railway
system We're twenty-five tons weight
and were capable of conveying over
the steepest grade only thirty tons Of
paying load. The latest development
is the Reid engine, which weighs six
ty-nine tons, has ten. coupled wheels,
carries three and half tons of fuel,
and conveys over the steepest Crude
100 tons of paying load With us in
Natal, however, it is not a matter OF
prejudice or even of sentiment but
simply that we as practical railway
men have thought it better to advance
along the lines of our existing types of
engines, and we have already achieved
splendid results in this way We put

now Thsy Cook venl.on in Maine

Here is the most sayory way to pre-
pare venison according to Game War
Gen Walter ]. Neal. He says: ssThe
man who is going into the woods to
shoot a deer and to cook and eat veni-
son of his own killing should leave all
his broiling and grilling utensils be-
hind. There is only one way to cook
vcnison in the woods or anywhere else.
Heat thick frying pan or an old style
spider upon the Goals until it is al
most red. Cut off thick slices of the
meat and throw them in the pan and
keep them right up against the dry,
hot surface until they are scorched
on both sides. Then turn them out on
a platter, cut the meat full of deep
gashes, cleap down through the crust
and into or beyond the center, and
ill the openings with butter, .piling It
on until the platter swims in gravy.
After this add pepper and salt to suit
the taste, and eat it before it is cold.
Cooked and served in this manner yeni-
con is the best meat that grows, and
the man who does not like it either
has trouble with his stomach or his

broken the tie Of relationship between the
mother country and the greatest OF It's
colonies. When, under Cambyses. the
Persian dominions had been extended as
far as the Greater Syrtis, the Phrnicians
had refused TO 60 any further. and prosecute
a war against their kin. It had apparently
been thought wise. II not necessary, to ac-
quiesce in their refusal. From that time
forward there had beer no u~nfriendly re-
~lations, 30 far as Is known. between Persia
and Carthage. SO long as the Phonician
was well treated by his su7erain at Susa'
there was hardly a point on which the Per-
sian and Carthaginian empires could clash.
In the present instance, their interests
manifestly conceded.
IL was certainly 10 the interest OF xerxes
that the Sicilian Greeks should have their
hands full at the time Of his great invasion
Of Greece. The P~ersians had plenty OF
means Of knowing that there was a great
Greek military power In Sicily which might
render important aid TO the continental
Greeks in the coming struggle. The Car
thaginian, on the other hand. might well
think the invasion of the Greek mainland
by Xerxes a favorable opportunity for
crushing the ever-increasing Greek trade
competition in the richest island in the
Mediterranean, for at such a time the 81
Gillian Greek could expect no help from
the mother country. On the whole, when
he considers the part played by the PhG-
nicians in Xerxes's expedition, Mr.. Grundy
deems It far more probable that there was
a connection between the two expeditions
than that there was not. M. W. IL.

The precise date within the year $50 B. G.
on which the Sicilian Greeks won their tre-
mendous victory over the Carthaginians
at Himera u uncertain. There was a ira
dition hat the battle was fought on the
same day as Salamis. but as the historians
Of the period display a marked tendency
to discover such condolences no state-
ment Of the kind can be regarded as trust
worthy. To the importance Of the victory
at Himera our author is keenly alive. The
contemporary Greek on the shores and
islands OF the Egean sought TO ignore or
minimize its significance; his posterity
but half remembered it. and Herodotus
accepted the manned tradition as he found
1t. Mr.. Grundy holds, however, that to
the historical inquirer Of the present day.
who has all the evidence before him, the
episode In the Persian War, which culmi-
mated at Himera, must appear not the
least glorious part Of the great struggle
which saved Western civilization.
The satisfactorily attested fact that a
large Carthaginian army, inoomparably
better adapted for close fighting than was
the Persian, attacked Sicily almost stimuli
~taneously with the invasion OF Greece by
Xerxes, raises, OF course. the question
whether inc COlnClOenCe OF DTONlfnltN In
time between the two attacks was anything
more than accidental. II has been in
ferred from the silence Of Herodotus on
the point that the coincidence was for
tuitous. Dlodorous. however, asserts that
Xerxes sent an embassy TO the Carthagln-
ians informing them that he was himself
about to attack the Greeks ~inhabitinp
Hellas proper. and directing them to at
tack simultaneously the Greeks In Sicly
and Italy. The assertion il confirmed
by a fragment OF Ephorus's history which
eays that ENJOYS from the Persians and
Phpnicians vent to the ~Carthaginians,
and urged them 20 assail Sicily. In view
OF the silence OF Herodotus, our author
would not maintain that the proof OF a con-
oerted plan Of invasion Ia absolutely con-
elusive. He proceeds to test IL by the law
of probability. From this point OF view

the mother country Of Carthage, was at

our author shows that the Persians, who
outnumbered the Greeks in the proportion
Of about two TO one, were successful up
TO the final engagement, when their defeat
was due TO a fatal mistake upon their own
part. From the moment that Mardonius
took up the defensive In Baotia, IL was
possible for the Persians TO choose ground
favorable TO the nature OF their force. which
was vastly superior in cavalry. but In
cluded no troops capable Of coping In cloee

thing from the opposite. In every case.

war, in which reverse or disaster fell on
either party, It was due 70 It's having been
forced, either by the nature OF the po-
sition, or by some tactical error Of It's own,
into adopting the method OF combat for
which it was least adapted. In the cam
paign OF Plattea, indeed, there were mis-
takes on both sides. While the Greeks
we're in their fret position, the Persian
threw away his excellent ca valry IN an at
tack on a necessarily limited portion OF
the front OF the Greek heavy infantry,
where o~uttianking was impossible, and
only close fighting could be effective. A
repulse was inevitable. In their second
position the Greeks made the mistake OF

The account here given Of the Battle
Of salamis IL very largely. though not

by Prof. W. W. Goodwin Of Harvard Uni

was published In the Journal Of the Archoo-

eyewitness Of the great naval battle.

IRWIN BREWSTER DEAD.
Beautiful Story Of the Lives Of
Two Old People.

Mr.. Samuel +. Brewster, better
known as "Uncle Irwin" died at
his home near New Salem Thurs
day, after an illness of several
weeks Only few days prior to
his death Mrs Brouster was laid
to rest. The story of the lives of
these old people is a beautiful one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster were born
in the year 1919, the former being
fifteen days the senior. Their child
hood days were spent together, at
the age of fifteen and sixteen years
respectively each joined the Cum
berland Presbyterian church; at
age of twenty years they were uni
ted in marriage and for sixty years
lived happily together. Some
weeks ago both became i'll and
Aunt Martha entered into eternal
rest at the age of eighty years,
while "Uncle Irwin" fingered four
days longer, then joined his life
long companion. They are sleep
ing side by side in the cemetery at

OUR FRANKFORT LETTER.

DEAR PRESS: This week has
been Que full of incident, interest
and industry. We are operating
under the direction of the COM
mittee on rules, and are having
three sessions per day.
The Revenue Bill came up and
after a spirited fight was passed
with only one vote to spare, and
in the Senate was passed after
amendment. by the decisive vote
of 80 to 2. 1t must come back to
the House for conference, which
it can not get until the Senate re-
cedes from some of the mischiev-
Gus things proposed. Among the
amendments proposed was capt.
toll appropriation clause, which the
House had already refused.
The bill proposing to rotate the
six circuit judges of Louisville
was turned down by vote of 66
to 20. This was a stroke at home
rule and met just fate.
The capitol appropriation bill
came up on Thursday; 1T was soon
pasted over with amendments and
within twenty minutes went TO
the table by vote of 81 to A.
Hereafter nonresident hunters
must pay twenty-five dollar H.
cense to hunt in this state; and no
person shall kill quail. for sale,
during the next two years.
The House bill to make Labor
Day legal holiday has passed the
Senate.
Appropriations made this week
are as follows: $4,000 for addi-
tional cell house at Eddyville
Branch Penitentiary: 5000 to fin
ish wall at same institution; ST.
500 for dust cellar in Frankfort
prison; $4,000 for building ladies
1ormitory at A. and M. College, |
Lexington; $4,000 for Colored
Normal School at Frankfort, with |
81, 900 for annual expenses.
The bill to abolish the Pauper
Idiot law was killed, and these un-
Iortunates will be cared for by the
state instead of the counties, as
in this bill.
Hereafter Louisville will take
Crittenden press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1879-1907, 1902-03-20

her school census only once in
three years; under this law they
will save $1,000 annually.
The Senate bill to regulate in
vestment companies and protect
the public against wildcat" con.
Germs, passed the House by vote
of 70 to 13.
The House refused to allow Sen
ators Feland and Edwards the
1916 asked ror costs, in contest
prepared for Edwards seat in the
Senate.
In accordance with the provis-
ions of law just enacted, regis
tration is required by the citizens
of 9th class cities, same as larger
cities, and the presentment of reg
istration certificate will be requir-
ed of all those desiring to vote.
Felony fees will not be paid
hereafter to officers until after in
dictment for felony, This will
save the state many thousands an
nually, as officers will be more
careful in preparing charges and
delivering prisoners.
Any county is now authorized
to vote tax to extend school time
to seven months. While on this
subject will say that the Senate
saw fit to amend the House bill,
80 that any teacher can draw pay
for a week that he does not teach,
if he so desires, provided the In
stitute is held during his school
term.
INDECENT children can no longer
be brought into this state.
Paducah is now in the list of
aecond class cities.
The st. Louis appropriation
bill was the last feature of the
week. 1t was called up by the
committee on rules and on motion
was postponed by a vote of 81 to
40. This is claimed a victory by |
its opponents, but its friends threa
ten to put it on its passage next !
week, and enact it into law. Sol
you see that with the Fair bill and |
the capitol appropriation tackled
on to the Revenue bill, we shall |
have plenty of fun the two renal
ming days.
l hope next week to be able to
give you a report of all work &C
,omplished during the session.
1t was my pleasure to mail to
rhos A. Rankin of Fords Ferry a
of Justice of the Peace
or that precinct to fill a vacancy
caused by failure of Mr.. Heath to
lualify. / felt that the Democra-
" of Crittenden were entitled to

THE PRIMARY.

The Congressional district com.
mittee has called a primary cleo.
ton for May "a, to nominate can.
didate for Congress. We publish
the call in full, and there is not,
we are sure, a Democrat in the
county who will not read this call
with more than ordinary interest.
For the first time in its history
the county has a Democratic can
didate for Congress, and the De-
mocracy of the county is proud of
the fact that this candidate is
known and recognized as one of
the brainiest, brightest and most
loyal Democrats in the country.
One who has won his way to dis
tinction from the humble walks of
life, and achieved eminence in
his party, not through an official
career, but by force of intellect
and unremitting devotion to the
cause. Local pride" sometimes
rallys us to the support of men
who may not measure up to our
ideals, or, perchance, may not fit
the occasion, but in this instance
we have the ideal man, who has
abided in the private ranks until
his paramount fitness has been
demonstrated from every view
point, and we have the occasion
that demands just such a man.
These are the things, rather than
"home pride" that make the APP
preaching primary of especial in
terest to the people of this county.
While Mr.. James resides in this
county, his party in the district
has been the beneficiary of his bril-
liant work as a campaigner, and in
this friendly contest, if services
ably and satisfactorily rendered,
when and where most needed,
count for anything. Ollie James is
a resident of the Old Gibraltar,
rather than any nook or corner
thereof. We would not discount |
the claims of other aspirant, but
this is the time for the Democracy |
to place its banner in the hands
of the man who defended it so
alertly valliantly and effectively |
in the great battles of 1896, 1900
and the intervening years. We
believe the Democracy of the dis
trict has made up its mind to this
effect and will SO register lis
choice on Saturday, May "a.
