ribute to Women.

Bob Burdette pays tie fol-
lowing tribute to a womIn:
True she cannot sharpen a
pencil; outside of commercial
circle, she can't tie a package
to look like anything save
crooked sections of shoes; but
land of miracles, see what she
can do with a pinI She can't
walk SO many miles around a
pool table with nothing to
drink, but she can walk all
night with a fretful baby.
She can ride 500 miles with
out going into the smoking
car to get rest and get away
from the children. She can
endure the distinction of the
house full of children all day,
while her husband sends them
to bed before he has been
home an hour. A boy with a
sister is fortunate, a fellow
with a cousin is to be eilvied;
a young man with a sweet
heart is happy, and a mar
with a good wife is blessed
more than them ALL"

A Singular Mania Case.

A young man was taken into
custody in Vienna last week,
who had made himself con-
spicuous by his singular be-
havior. Every day for some
weeks past he had stood near
the entranceof apublic school
waiting for the schoolhoys to
emerge from the building.
When they came out he pro
duced a small brushand black
ing and backed every boys
shoes. The boys reported
their experiences to their teach
er, who caused the arrest Of
the man.

student of the technical insti,

bic impulse I'd perform all

has been placed in a lunatic
asylum.-London Mail.

Convenience Appreciated.

The phenomenal growth of
free rural mail delivery is
sufficient evidence of the pop
ularity of system which is be-
ing rapidly extended to all
parts of the country where
the population is dense enough
to Justify its introduction. At
first treated with Indifference
opposition in many sections,
the system has increased in
favor so rapidly that the de-
partment has been unable to
comply with requests for its
establishment as fast as they
are received. Farmers have
realized the advantages of
having their business letters
delivered to them promptly,
and the convenience of receiv-
ing their newspaper on the
day of publication. AS a con-
sequence, communities with
push. composed of a wide
awake citizenship, have al
ready provided themselves
with a convenience which was
until a short time ago enjoyed
Exclusively by the urban pop.
ulation of the country.
The postal authorities hope
to extend free delivery at the
rate of $1,000 routes per year
until the system is univer
sally adopted wherever prac
ticable, and the greater par
of a territory of 700, O00squar,
miles still to be reached i,
provided for. 1t is sincerel,
to be hoped that the local ag
ricultural region will prov,
sufficiently enterprising t
come in for its Share of rura

Company Poor"

The statistical editor of the
Owenton News-Herald has
been doing a little figuring as
follows:
"Our readers have doubtless
heard the expression, "that
farmer is horsepoor" or "that
farmer is land poor" but last
Sunday while returning from
a neighboring village we were
impressed with the fact that
a certain farmer who lives on
this route was surely and I'M
mistakably company poor. +"
We counted fourteen buggies
drawn up to the yard fence
with the shafts resting on the
top rail. Let us count the
cost; if each visitor drove but
one horse to his buggy and
each horse was fed two meals
during the day, That would
mean % Feeds or eight ears Of
corn to the horse would mean
225 ears of corn or 25c per
feed would amount to 500.
The hay they would eat in a
day would amount to $500.
They are done with the visit
ors horses at a cost of $40.
Now if each visitor, eats as
often as the horses at the
same price they will have de-
voured $1,000 worth of Mr..
Farmers provisions. Not
counting the work of the wife
and the help in the kitchen
and the hands at the stable,
The company will depart leav-
ing the farmer $4,000 to the
bad. This happens at the
place we have in mind each
Sunday of the year and each
day during the semi-annual
protracted meeting held at the
church near by. Is there any
wonder that there are many
farmers complaining of hard
times? $1,000 per year going
into the entertainment fund.
Are they not company poor?''

Oldest Man in The World.
A special from Harrods-

A special from Harrods-
burg says:
Elijah Bledsoe, colored,
probably the oldest man in
the world, died here this
morning. He claimed to be
1873 years of age, and there is
hardly a doubt that he was as
old as stated.
Captain P. B. Thompson,
who is 81, and J. H. Stagg,
aged IS, say that when they
were little tots Elijah was an
old man. He could recount
many incidents of the War of
1872, which he could not have
known in any way but by oh
servation. When Lafayette
-
visited this place in 1924 Uncle
Lige took him some wa5er for
his ablutions and was presen-
ted with some silver by the
noted Frenchman. He also
met the crafty Aaron Burr
when he left the paradisaical
retreat of Blennerhasset and
came here. ffe often stated
that he was charmed with La
fayette, but disliked Burr on
general principals.
In 1920 Elijah's master pit
ted him against another negro
whose master was summerinS
at Grab Orchard Springs.
The race was to be from the
latter place to Perryville, a
distance of 30 miles. The
master whose darky was
swiftest was to get both ne
groes. Elijah made the run
in four hours. HIS rival fell
dead half way between the
places
Until "a few days agothe old
man earned a living by manu-
featuring and selling shuck
mats, but growing too feeble
to toll he went over the hill to
the poorhouse, where he died.
1t is said that he married Is
times and was the father of
IA children. He was born in
Virginia.

FIVE HUNDRED TREES
To be Planted on City Prop
erty-Good Work Being
Done for a Future
Interior Park.

During the Indian summer
days of the past week a work
has been going on which may
some day yield the public
large returns. After the Ar
Dor Day celebration at the
Children's Playground on
South Upper street, on the
first Friday of the present
month, at which 125 trees and
shrubs were planted, Mr..
Hector Hillenmeyer volun
teered to q member of Civic
League to contribute DIS many
additional trees, to the num-
Der of 500, as could he advan-
tageously planted on the whole
piece of city property lying
between Upper street and
Broadway, which it is hoped
to convert into a city park.
When the Mayor was told this
he at once offered to have the
city hands do the necessary
work, and has bad it done as
promptly as possible. Up to
the present time 300 stakes
for tree-holes have been set
with considerable study of the
landscape gardening effects,
massing the trees where un-
desirable views are to be shut
off, leaving open vistas from.
the high ground near the rail-
road embankment to- take in
the view OF the State College
grounds, leaving the level
spaces free and open, group
ing the trees on the high and
rough ground, bordering the
two natural. brooks that flow
through the space with trees,
and making future shady
walks and lovers lanes. The
body of land, though in its
present state, most desOlate
and unattractive looking from
the street, has remarkable
park possibilities. Several
persons whose tastes have
been enlisted in the locating
of the trees have declared
that it would be impossible
for the city to find any piece
of property of ;equal size
within the city limits, even if
it should start out without re-
striction to buy any piece that
it might choose, with such
variety and such possibilities
of ultimate park beaaties, as
are to be found in this piece.
So far, about seventy-fve of
the holes for tree-planting
have been dug, and it is hoped
to get a hundred of the trees
in the first of the week, and
all the three hundred at least
before cold weather sets in.
Already the drivers of the
dump carts, of the "city ex-
press" wagons, who come out
to wash of their wagons and
steeds in the baptising pond,
and the. children and aged
darkies who are continually
passing in and out of place,
have begun to refer to it as

IN and ABOUT The COURTS
INTERESTING CASE IN WHICH
TONS OF COAL WERE INVOLVED.

Nearly Thirty-two Tons Delivered at
One Time-Attorneys' sharp Words-
Bankruptcy Cases Other Important
LIE gal Items.
A suit interesting just because it
brings to mind that coal was once $3.50
a ton and that one could buy twenty
three tons at one time, was settled in
the city court yesterday. The plaintiffs
were H. Konold & Son, and the defen-
dant George A. IsbelI of 273 Norton
street.
The dispute was over a coal bill, for
which the following was delivered: Sep
TENDER II, 1891, "a tons at S4.75 per ton;
November 8, 1892, &c TONS at $4.75 per
ton; November q, 1888, 31l4 tons at ATS
per ton, and October 8, 1894, % tons at
$3.50 per ton. 1t was alleged that there
was a balance due of $2SS.39 when the
suit was brought.
The defendant claimed that there was
a deficiency in weight and also bill
for services against the plaintiff to
counterbalance the $2S8.S9. The matter
was settled by an exchange of $3.50 up
on the balance. Attorney Arvine repre-
scented Mr.. Isbell and Attorney Penney

CHRISTMAS AT srE1NERTs


There are Christmas gifts and Christ
mas gifts. Some are for a day and
some are for long time, and there are
gifts that can be selected from any of
the various lines of activity of the hu-
man race, but if a thing of beauty is a
joy forever. a beautiful musical instru-
ment to sound sweet concordant melo-
dies and cause light footsteps to move
to delightful measures, should be the
desire of those who love refinement and
cherish serenity. And talking of mu-
steal instruments, at Steinert's you are
sure to get the best. Forty years have
proved to many that it pays to buy
from them. They are now presenting
the most complete assortment of pianos
ever offered in Connecticut. Among
them may be mentioned the following
Instruments: The Steinway, the stand
ard of the world; the Steinertone, the
Shoninger, the Hardman, the JaWmett,
the Woodbury., the Bradford, Singer,
Steger, Standard, and a number of
leading makes. They also carry the
pianola and the demand at the present
time is so great that it is doubtful if
they will be able to supply the Christ
mas demand.
