WenSaid.

Here is clipping we have
had for some time, having for
got from whose paper we took
it. It's certainly full of good
truth. GA Kentuckian kneels
to none save woman and his
God" These proud words
of the heroic Crittenden,
spoken beneath the monastic
shadow of a white-walled
crypt, when ordered by his
executioners to receive their
fire in a kneeling posture,
express in characteristic
words and feeling the pride of
state. tradition and ancestry,
which has even distinguished
the men of our soil. The
spirit of pride and defiance
seems indigenous to Ken
lucky. From the highest to
the lowest, in by-paths and
hedges, it is found and flour
ishes. The naughty though
poor, mountaineer, az the er-
pense of life and limb keeps
his honor untarnished, even
to third and fourth genera
tions. The equally proud
monarch of the Blue Grass
values above all things his
good name and reputation
and will die in its defense.
But in both sections of our
fair Commonwealth there
exists a sentiment that is
superior ever to family pride,
and that is respect and rever-
ence for womankind. No
where are the la0ies honored
as in old Kentucky. The
glamour Of medieval romance
yet hovers over our sunny
cline, and we feel for the
daughters of our State all the
chivalrous idolatry that
stamped the knights of yore.
An exemplification of our re-
spect for family which attract
ed widespread attention oc-
Cured last month in Illinois.
A Kentuckian under a non de
plume, bravely met a felon's
death without divulging the
secret of his identity for fear
of attaching stigma and bring
ing dishonor to an honorable
name. OF such men are our
people composed; there may be
evil in them, but the good is
uppermost, Lancaster Rec
ord.

BIG MONEY IN TRUCK
ING.
H. B. Mathews, of Smith
County, Texas, Gets ST.
$50 From 18 Acres
of Ground.

The Cotton Belt Route,
through its General Passen-
ger Department at St. Louis,
is giving out data regarding
the growing of fruits and
vegetables along it's lines in
Eastern Texas. Here is what
"a Smith County man accom-
plished during the season
Just passed, the interview
appearing in the "Diversi-
fer" published at Tyler,
Texas.
Mr.. H. B. Matthews said.
Il had two and a half acres
in strawberries; gathered 213
crates; sold for $40. l put
out eight acres in tomatoes;
gathered 1430 crates; sold for
500; planted the same land
in late corn and fall Irish po-
tatoes; corn did only fairly
well; potatoes made fine crop,
and gathering at this writing

price for them in the spring

planted to Jones watermelons
from which I sold $3.50. l
had six acres in pumpkin
yams; two acres [ set early
and four acres late; from the
early patch I gathered 800
bushels and sold them for
$3.50, and the late planting I
am not through gathering,
though I am selling them at
so cents a bushel as I gather
them, I cannot tell how much
per acre they will yield. 1
have one and a half acres in
blackberries, from which I
sold 500. And for what I
think of the outlook of our
country and truck business
| would be almost afraid to
tell my honest opinion, for
some one would think l was
a big land owner and had lots
of land to sell. l am only a
small truck grower, and have
been in the business but a
short time; but from my ex-
perience and observations I
think that the outlook for our
part of the country is fiatter-

A Handy Man.

The Sturgis correspondent
of the Courier-Journal writes.
The handiest man found in
this section was a tattered in

East Tennessee and present.
ed himself to Farmer Tom
Jackson who owns about two
thirds of the best farming
land in Webster county. The
appearance of the man was
not persuasive evidence of a
good hand, but Mr.. Jackson
needed men in the clearing
and to make rails, so decided
to risk it. After a nights
repose and probably the first
square meal he had tackled
IN many days, the pilgrim
went to the woods and sue
ceeded in beating the usual
record as a rlil-splitter an
hour before noon, the interim
of which he utilized in regal
ing the female contingent and
a few visitors with popular
and classic music on the pia-
no, singing barytone solos
and reading poetry, in the
afternoon he split more rails,
quit at 4 o'clock and PLAYED
croquet with a city cousin
who was rusticating at the
jackson homestead, gave a
mandolin concert in the even
ing and read Hamlet's solilo-
guy in true histrionic style.
The next day Farmer JACK
son had a law suit 10 come up
in a magistrates court sever
al miles away, but being in
disposed requested the new
hired man to ride over and
ask for a continuance. The
opposing counsel kicked"
further delay and
forced a trial, the seedy rep
resentative accepting the
challenge and going into the
case, much TO the astonish-
ment of the court and the op-
posing lawyer. Mr.. Jackson
was the more astOnished on
the return of his tramp-em-
plOye to learn that ne had won
the case. Eventually Jack
son furnished the money, and
his versatile rail-splitter be-
gan business as a country
merchant. Within a few
years he paid back the money
with interest, sold out at a
profit and lately departed to
open a large store in one of
the States large towns. This
shows, says Mr.. Jackson,
that you can't always some
times tell. That fellow, of
course, had a history back of
him, but 1 never found out
just what it was. He was a
thoroughbred, anyway, and a
fine investment.

A Perfect Woman.

You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom Of her youth. You wonder
how this has come about Here are
some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things. .
She kept her nerves we'll in hand, and
inflicted them on no one
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to her
c%ongenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable, and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words and
a smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
lone by, and now that old age has come
to her, and there is a halo of white hair
about her head, she is loved and con-
sidered. This is the secret of a long
life, and a happy one.-Selected.

GREAT SCHEME DIED WITH HIM
The Ship Railway Project at Te-
huantepea.

Denver Times: But for the death of
Eads, the great engineer. who planned
and was in processing of executing at
the time of his sudden demise his won
derful ship railway project at the 18TH
mus of T~ehuantepec, in Mexico, there
would have ben no Panama canal" said
c. H. Merrill, a mining engineer, at the
American, who has just returned from
that part of Mexico. 1T was Eads'
scheme to have vessels navigate the
river Cordova as far as possible and
then by means of a dry dock of his
own invention have them picked up and
taken on railway carriages across the
isthmus to Salina Cruz and thence by
water again into the Pacific. 1t was a
very feasible scheme, but the sudden
death of the engineer precluded the pos
sibility of carrying it on for he had in
ventions that would have been applied
to the enterprise that he did not eX-
plain to any one and thus the chain was
lost forever. He is regarded by the
people down there as the greatest man
in his line who ever lived. He built the
famous Mississippi jetties at New Or
leans, which stand today as a monu-
ment to his great brain and pluck.
There are thousands of Americans now
proitably engaged on the sugar, coffee,
rubber and cocoa plantations in the
Mexican isthmus, which, you know, is
a tropical country, and n of the most
fertile on earth. All of them are doing
well. | never saw such prosperity any
where. The nearest large city is Nina
tilan. where the marketing is done. The
greatest railway enterprise now under
way down there is what is called Ma
sons line. 1t runs from Cordova to Te-
huantepec, a distance of 1000 miles, and
almost spans the isthmus. I am doing
some mining farther north and am here
to look after my mines at Twin Lakes
in Lake county. l will be here about
two months, but will return to Mexico
as | am convinced that there is the
place to get what we are all after. We
are doing very we'll at Twin Lakes, how
ever, and are spending some money
over there. 1t looks good; so does
Colorado generally"

10, and apparently proceeded from
Kishn, whence loud noises are still au-
dible in Bandar Abbas.
Each of the five continents, except
Australia, have this year suffered from
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions accom-
panying them in five places. The fol-
lowing is the list: January, Nova SEQ

According to Formula.

Judge Pennypacker was once asked
by his brother Harry, during a session
of court, for the loan of IS. Harry
walked to the desk and whispered the
request in the Judges ear. The latter,
looking down over the top of his
glasses, without the suggestion of a
smile, said loud enough to be heard
throughout the room:
Put your application in writing, and
present it to the court in a proper
manner"
Mr.. Pennypacker, thinking the
Judges insistence upon regularity to
be merely regard for the dignity of the
court, wrote out the request and hand
ed it to the clerk of the court. who, In
turn, passed it to the bench. The Judge
read it quietly and seriously. and then
interrupted the pending trial long
enough to say:
Application for a loan of S. made to
this court is ~received-and refused."-
