How the Lesson of IdIeness May be
Made Profitable.
Wise mothers realize that their children
have a knack Of growing out Of knowledge
spiritually no less than physically, and
count 1t among the blessings of vacation
that 1t gives time to make friends with
their very own. Whether the summer days
are spent at home or abroad, no mother
who truly loves her boys and girls can af-
ford to overlook the opportunity Of sum-
mer leisure. II she can manage to make
herself comrade, and leader in sports. the
problem of family government Is In a fair
way Of solving itself.
Comradery and leadership require some
thing of tact and forethought. There must
be nothing which smacks of infringement
upon the true holiday spirit. Suggestions
even squirting at school work are not to be
endured. At the sam time 1t Is easily
possible to make summer play fl and fruc-
tify winter lessons. One woman at least
found 1t so. She had summer charge Of
nine children between the ages Of 8 and IL.

A TRAVELLING NECESSITY.
Trunks of Various shapes - How to
Pack Them.


The modern watchword of convenience"
has made great innovations in the con-
struction and arrangement Of trunks. One
OF the newest will be dear to the heart OF
every woman, being labeled "a skirt trunk"
1t Is forty-four inches long, thus admitting
a skirt to be stretched out at full length.
The inside is provided with a series Of
trays, about nve or six in number and Of
the average depth Of four inches. Into
these the skirts are packed; lightweight
enes can be put In separately. but partic-
ularly fuzzy or beruf1ed affairs being as
signed an entire tray to itself and thus
rendered perfectly safe from creases. One
or two OF these upper long trays can be
used to pack waists in and the top sec
tion 10 about seven inches deep and divided
into several partitions. including hat box
and receptacles for ribbons, collars, under
clothing and all small articles.
The attempts to carry more than one
hat in q general trunk has been abandoned
by the woman Of experience and a separate
hat trunk is considered q necessity II
three or more dainty hats are required.
These hat trunks In their latest form are
about the size Of q big hat box in which
the milliner sends a hat home. The floor
and lid and each Of the four sides are fitted
with a detachable frame, to which the hat
is adjusted by a hAtpin In the same man
ner as when put on the head. These frames
may be removed from the trunk and the
empty trunk used Is an ordinary packing
trunk for q visit Of q few days. Exter-
nally 1t has the appearance Of an English
mans box"
4 The trunk in which waists and skirts are
hung on frameS~from hooks In the top (the
small end OF the trunk) answers the pur-
pose OF a wardrobe or closet and econo-
mics space; the top tray swings out and
is seen to be fitted out like a small cub
board or chifonier with shelves and little
drawers.
But how about the woman with a COM
paratively old-fashioned thirty-six-inch
trunk Her task is less easy, but by TAX
ing thought she can save her wardrobe
from c~reasing and pack twice as much in
q given space as her careless sister. n
hrst principle to be observed 10 to keep
the contents of the trunk In fiat layers
this was evidently understood by the man
who first devised trays" But a lot more
can be packed In a trunk II the trays are
removed-all except the top one, having
several compartments in II. and possibly

the one Immediately beneath. This second
tray is very useful when II comes with the
canvas strip or lattice work instead Of a
board bottom. as then II does not offer the
hard. nat surface to crush the lightweight
gowns Immediately beneath It.
The heavier things should be put first
into the trunk. BY heavier things is meant
wooden and cloth dress skirts, golf capes
or the steamer rug which is a very useful
article to take on land trips. Fold the rug
to n size corresponding to the floor Of the
trunk and lay 1t in. Then comes the golf
cape, which can be folded first on the floor,
having the folds in the lines they would
naturally take when the cape is hanging
from the shoulders. Pick the skirts W
by the Wristbands (which should be hooked
in the way intended when being worm
and let them fall into the natural folds.

Messrs. James and Robert Owen Sue the
Illinois Central Railroad Company.
They Claim Infringement Their Ferry Privileges and
Ask That the Transfer Boat Be Stopped.

The most important suits filed in
the McCracken circuit court perhaps
in many years, and aggregating doubt
less the largest amount Of damages
ever asked at any one time, were filed
this afternoon by Attorneys Purge ar
and Ray, Paducah; John W. Ray,
Frankfort, and s. Bartlett Kerr, Of
Metropolis, ILL.,, against the Illinois
Central Railroad company to secure a
permanent injunction compelling it to
stop running its transfer boat the W..
II. Osborne between Paducsh and
Brookport, and for total of $3.50, 900
damages.
There are four suits, two filed for
Robert owen for $3.50 each, and
the other two filed for Mr.. James
Owen, present owner of the ferry boat
Bette Owen. for $4,000 each. The
claims are based on the allegation
that the railroad company separating
ferry boat between Paduoah and
Brookport infringing on the plaintiff g
rights under an exclusive grant from
the state of Kentucky.
There have been only three or four
of such cases ever filed in the United
States, and one Of the pleas made in
those suits is that the Illinois Central
railroad Is a Kentucky corporation,
something never before claimed in any
court.
The reason there are four suits is
that each gentleman sues for fares and
receipts for transportation of freight,
etc., from Paducah to Brookport and
from Brookport back to Psducah. They
are under the law authorized to claim
five years back, and Mr.. Robert
Owens petitions are for damages to
business from 1897 to 1899, as surviy.
ing partner Of Owens Brothers, and
Mr.. James Owens petitions as own
er from 1899 until the present time.
The most important question in
volved. however, is the stopping of
the transfer boat from plying between
Psducah and Brookport, which would
seriously affect the railroad business
from Paducah to st. Louis, both
freight and passenger.

Mrs. SaIIie J. kinkead Sues a Hen
derson Man for $4,000 Damages
She Takes jug of whiskey and Ore.
ates Excitement by Publicly
Smashing it.
QUITE A SENSATION CREATED

Mrs. Sallie ]. Kinkead, until a
short time ago in charge Of one Of
Mayfield's hotels, is the plaintiff in a
big suit filed at Sebree. Mrs. Kin
kead sold out some months ago at
Mayfield, and started the First Ma
tional hotel at Sebree, Webster coun-
ty. She is we'll known here, and has
many friends to whom the particulars
will be Of interest.
The suit she has just filed in the
Webster circuit court is against job n
r. Lambert, of Henderson, for $50,
900 damages. Mr.. Lambert, who is
camping at the Cascade camp ground,
thought that jug of whiskey would
be a good thing to have while camp
ing, and ordered it. He had it
shipped to the First National hotel,
room 3. He asked Policeman Sutton
to go TO the express Office and get il
for him, which he readily consented
to do. Sutton made his demand, but
the agent refused to let the whiskey
go except upon the order Of Mrs. Kin
kead, which she refused TO give. Mrs.
Kinkead went to the express office,
paid the charges, took the jug, and
smashed it in the presence Of large
crowd.
Sebree is local option town, and
Mrs. Kinkead, who is running the
only hotel in the place, says IT will
injure her business to have such re.
ports go out, hence the suit. Mr..
Lambert is circuit clerk of Henderson
county. f. NJ. Hutchinson, Jr.. is at
torney for the plaintiff, and the cas-,
will come mp at the December term.

The style OF the suits is James Ow-
en- against the Chicago, st. Louis and
New Orleans railroad, the Paducah
Union Depot company, and the I'LL
nois Central Railroad company, and
Robert Ow an against the same.
The actions separately allege that
the defendants are corporations of the
state, with power to sue aud be sued.
That the plaintiff is now the owner
of the exclusive right, privilege and
franchise to operate ferryboat from
Paducah to Brookport, on the Illinois
side, the same being obtained under q
contract lease from tine city Of Psdu-
cab, for fifteen years, running from
September 22, 1890. until September
90, 1905. The right Of the city of
Paduoah to do this is shown by quot
ing the state law. 1t is then alleged
that the franchise is very valuable
one, and one that the plaintiffs exer-
cised for many years without question
or molestation as to the exclusive
right. 1t is claimed that the defend
ants, on the other hand, have estab-
, lished and run ferrvboat for the
transportation of passengers and
freight from Paducah to Brookport
regularly Notwithstanding the above
exclusive right, the landings of the
aforesaid company being within one
mile and a half Of the plaintiffs land

side. That the conpany's ferryboat

disadvantage and injury of the plain
tiff's business, on which suit is brought
for s46. 200 damages.
The suit for damages for injury to
business from Brookport to Paducah is
for similar amount, and the petition
sets forth that the plaintiffs have ex-
elusive privilege to run from Brook
port to Paducah until 1919, their
franchise having been renewed in
March of this year. This privilege
was first granted to the late Valentine
Owen in 1855, and he established the
