mutilated a book from a public library by
cutting out all references to her age and
also all passages concerning a woman who
some forty years ago became her enemy.
In her later years she was accustomed TO

near to a failure in public as on one oc-

her net wig.

VERY GREEN.
THIS YOUTH FORGOT WHERE
HE WANTED TO GO AND THE
AGENT DIDN'T KNOW.

The l. @. ticket agent had much fun
this morning with green country
youth who apparently had never been
away from the country before. The
boy had purchased ticket for White
Plains and when the morning train,
east bound, pulled in, the youth step
ped mp to the window of the ticket
Office and asked IL this is the train
that carried you to Paducahg"
why, you are at Psducah now, "
the ticket agent replied, and the youth
then became more confused and in
quired for the train that went to Me-
tropolis. "No, l mean that goes to
Where in the devil do want to go?"
he finally asked. To this the agent
could give no answer, and after study.
ing bit the boy with exultation cried
out,
II have it, want to go to White
Plains. He was told which train to
take, and when last seen was hanging
out the window looking back at the
depot and clutching his ticket In his
hand.

Dubuque Hose Company Will Fill

The 1000 Feet Not to be Here for .
Month Yet, However.

Paducah will be crippled for want
of fire hose fer another month yet.
Chairman Hummel is in receipt OF a
telegram from the Dubuque Hose 90.
Of Dubuque, Ia., stating that they
would fill the order from Paducsh for
4 900 feet Of hose, and that the guar
antee was satisfactory, the bond to be
forwarded as soon as made by the
guarantee company. The hose, how
ever, Is not to be delivered until on OF
before August 90, which gives the
company nearly monta in which ia
fill the order.
The 1000 feet Of emergency hose
ordered about two weeks ago has moi
yet arrived, but is expected late thii
evening Its arrival is Anxiously
awaited. IS the city is practically
without fire hose, and when it comes
will have but 200 feet Of good hose
Most of the other has burst within the

The principal good to be derived
from the city hospital investigation
now in progress will be to show the
public what . disgrsceful place it is
that has been called hospital here for
the past twenty-five or thirty years.
The building is located almost out of
reach, it is inadequate, provided with
none Of the conveniences and improve
ments 30 essential to the modern hos
pital, and has no sanitation. The
men who have been in charge Of city
affairs have never made any effort to
secure new hospital, although the
conditions that have existed in the in
stitution have been obvious, especially
to the medical profession, for many
years. The hospital investigation
ought to be productive Of great good,
the disposition of the charges against
the matron being Of less Importance
than the disposition Of the hospital
itself. Instead Of the matron being
discharged, the hospital ought to be
abandoned.

This is the notorious Billlngsgate.
but one looks in vain for the fishwife
who made its ancient fame. writes
John Corbin, describing the heart OF
London. in Scribner's Magazine. il
is no use TO Inquire after her from the
porters; they have never heard OF her
existence. Her brawny arms are for
gotten; her eagle eye for custom. her
thirst for gin. her shrewd gibes, her
ready pipe, and her more ready repair
tee. her torrents OF invective Evil
answers made her boil over. Only one
human means was ever found to quiet
her. II is said to be one OF Horne
Tooke's titles TO fame that he silenced
a fishwife with the retort: Madame.
believe me. you are parallelopipe-
DON" But what one man could not
accomplish for one moment has been
done forever by the slow lapse OF
years. or all her rhetorical armory.
only profanity remains. and even this
is so like the universal profanity OF
man that 1t makes the fishwife seem
the more hopelessly extinct

An insurance adjustor who was in
the city yesterday was very much
surprised when he saw that two
houses insured In his company were
not saved, with fire plug almost in
front of them. He didn't know,
perhaps, that it was partly because
the city has no fire hose, and that
it has no fire hose because the fire
committee Of the council has been
indulging in senseless horse play for
the past month or two, rejecting the
best offer of hose ever made to the
city because it was reported the
hose had been offered cheaper to some
other place. II wouldn't have made
any difference If the company had
offered to give the hose to some other
city, it wouldn't have made it worth
any less to Paducah. 1t is a wo,,der
that the insurance companies do not
cancel all their policies here until the
city secures fire protection.

Interesting Inhabitants of Faro oroup
OF Islands.


There are about $4,000 people scat
tered over the twenty-odd rocks or
islets which constitute the Farce
group. Every man in the country Is
in some way the descendant Of king
that is. the Morse sea kings. who fed
to the islands in the ninth century and
peopled them.
In spite OF his homespuns. his turf
hut. and his primitive life. every good
Faroese is conscious and proud OF his
ancestry, and he bears himself like O,
Highland prince. He has no nswspa-
pers or social problems. but he knows
the history of his island home and he
is a constant reader of books, mostly
Danish, but not OF the dime novel or
der. His literary taste Is inferior only
TO that OF the Icelanders. who for
/ 900 years have raised and maintained
an ideal OF national literature OF merit.
The Faroese dresses we'll. His chest
nut-brown jacket. trimmed with silver
buckles, and his comfortable knicker-
bockers. are made from the pure I'M
adulterated wool of the Faroese noun
tain sheep. His warm. handknit stock
ings, equal to those of the Scottish
Highianaers, would fetch high prices
In America.
His boat has served as a model for
European builders. who, under the
name Of whaleboat. supply navies with
an imitation OF the 'riginal, surf-hght-
ing Faroe shell.
His home is-well. mighty uncomfor-
table. but snug TO him. apparently. He
drinks excellent coffee. He gets the
pure bean by the sack. Each house
hold roasts its own supply. and a fresh
quantity is ground each time coffee Is
made, so that none OF the flavor is
lost. Sleeps or goats cream added
makes II n beverage that even me ho-
tells might Ike pride in duplic ding.

NE DOESN'T LIKE THIS Cksck-
Remittance of . Bankrupt's Assets Thss
Annoys . Chicago Cashier

Funny things occur occasionally
under the operation Of the Federal
bankruptcy law" said the cashier OF a
Chicago concern as he looked at a
check for two cents he had just re-
ceived in the mail Here's one OF
them. This check for two cents is
the firms share OF the assets OF a de-
tunct Indiana enterprise OF which we
we're one OF the creditors"
What's funny about that?" inquir-
ed the man TO whom the cashier was
talking.
We'll. there's several funny things
about IT," answered. the cashier. Per
haps shouldn't say funny. either.
they're aggravating. You will notice
that this check for two cents is drawn
on a country bank in Indiana. To get
IL cashed will cost US fifteen cents e.
change. so there's a direct loss OF thir-
teen cents TO start with. Then the
trustee who sent II had TO pay two
cents In mailing II. and we are expect
ed TO pay return postage ON the re-
ceipt. making an outlay OF nineteen
cents against a credit OF two cents
I've been juggling with figures a long
time and been up agains. many queer
propositions. but this stumps me. i
don't know what to do with IT,"
why not tear the check up and
throw away the pieeesI You'll be
money ahead"
''The firm would. you mean. But
what about myself Unless ! get the
check cashed I'll have to take two
cents out of my own pocket to make
my books balance. and | can't see any
reason why / should use my own
money for this purpose.
