Results Of Goebel Murder.

THE results of the murder of Gov
ernOr Goebel more than two years ago
are still apparent. said Mr.. C. c. Leigh,
of Kentucky. at the Riggs House.
They are to be found in the enmity
and hatred which exists today between
men and families who were warm per-
sonal friends before that tragedy II en-
gendered hatred which will be handed
down from generation to generation
for Kentuckians never forget. There are
today In Frankfort men who were

ior campaign, who never speak to each
other and are In fact deadly enemies.
all because they took sides in the great
est political controversy waged in
single State in many long day.
The blot that crime placed upon the
state VIII long remain, for IL gave the
fair State Of Kentucky a bad name for
political quarrels. Although the affair is
being gradually forgotten by people out
side the State. and we hope 1t will soon
be forgotten. 1t bobs up every now and
then, and VIII be factor in one way

What Is a Gentleman =?

The following extracts are taken
from the advertisement OF a German
publisher: "A gentleman does not
use eau de cologne and read greasy
volumes from circulating library.
A gentleman does not borrow good
works which he is in position to
buy. a gentleman does not talk
about the latest literature when he
is acquainted only with what is said
OF it by the reviewers. A gentleman
does not cut books with his fingers.
even after having washed his hands
A gentleman does not buy only six
penny cheap editions" These are

definitions OF a much-abused word

THE DUTY OF
FORCETFULNESS
By L. L.

The copy book morality of an
earlier generation urgently insisted
that one should let no day 80 by
without learning something.
Today we live by reversing out
worn maxims, and it may be well to
reflect that the truly wise person al
lows no day TO pass without forget
ting something.
The people who cannot advantage
ously forget 4 great many things
which they know are few, indeed.
The amount Of useless lumber which
the average person he's slowed away
in his memory is simply appalling.
In many eases it actually prevents
the acquisition of more useful knowl-
edge. Clear out the trash and start
afresh.
The man who has b on laboriously
learning things since earliest boy
hood is likely to be stocked up with
a great many ideas which are not in
the least adapted to the life of the
present day. He is, for example, I'M

True poetry is philosophy, whether expressed in
pros rhyme. Three elements constitute the genu-
Inc arcle-truth, beauty. and submity.
Poetry is the top flower of literature and ex-
hales perpetual perfume, through the ages whether
expressed in the lofty lines of Homer. the love-it
lyrics of Horace, the divine philosophy of Shakes
peare.
1t is a notorious fact that poets are born as
such, and not nodded by scholastic training. There
never was a school or college that graduated poet
for he is inspired by his Creator, at birth, with the
mysterious thoughts that bubble up from the we'll
springs of his heart and soul, fitting unconsciousy
with the muses. that wing their heavenly way around
the heights of Paruassus.

by The sordid world
Cars, cmperors, kings queens, princes. and
mi!liouaircs all pass away like the morning mist and
their memory and monuments are lest in the waters
of oblivion; but the songs of the poet survive over
the dyaases of earth and repeated on the lips
of mankind adowm the crow,,ing ages.
While warriors, statesmen. and historians secure
some lasting renown. the poets of all the ages and
ehere have not been a dozen receive from poscriy
the laurel crown of immortal earthly fame, shining
through the centuries like the blaze from an eternal
volcano and diifusing the light OF heart and love

soaring soul, puiored with hope for immortality.

Hot Contest in Tennessee.

Mr.. r. Moore Mann, of Nashville,
Tenn, Il. the Ebbitt last night, com
menting on the political contests for
Congressional nominations now waging
in that State. said:
'Tn Tennessee there are four contests
for Democratic nominations for Con-
gress. In the Si-:th district Representa-
tive John Wesley Gaines is opposed by
NJ II. Meeks, who served a term In the
State Senate. Both are making an ac-
tive canvass, with the indications favor
ing the return OF Mr.. Gaines.
Representative Snodgrass Is opposed
by Morgan c. Fitzpatrick, chairman of
the State Democratic committee. Repre-
sentative Rice Pierce is opposed by Dor
sey Thomas, while Representative Sims
has several opponents. The chances are
that the entire Tennessee delegation will
be the same as in this Congress"
Mr.. Sims is a member of the House
District Committee, and Mr.. Pierce is a
member of the Appropriations Commit
tee and the subcommittee having charge

EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.

Touched with the delicate green of na1lv May,
Or later, when the rose unveils her face.
The world hangs glittering in star-srewn space,
Fresh jewel found but yesterday;
And yet It's very old. What tongue may say
How old it isl Race follows upon race
Forgetting and forgotten; in their place
Sink tower and temple; nothing long may stay.
We build on tombs, and live our day, and die;
From out our dust new towers and temples start !;
Our very name becomes mystery.

In violet glooms beneath the moaning seal

A Democratic House Next Session.

THE next House. in my opinion, will
be Democratic" said Delegate Mark a.
Smith, of Arizona. at the Barton last
evening, but We will not make many
gains in the West 1t will be in the
East where most of the changes will be
made. The existing labor troubles will
make votes for the Democrats.
Delegate Smith was not a candidate
for denomination, because before the
eighth Congress assemblies in De-
cember, 1903, he believes Arizona will
have been admitted to the sisterhood of
States, and her Legislature will have
elected two United States Senators.
Mr.. Smiths friends are confident the
Democrats will elect a majority of the
Legislature, and that he Will be one of
Arizona's first Senators.

before September. when he will be pre-
pared to take an active part in the cam
