The Polka.

The polka is the natural dance for
the feet of the people. Take in evidence
its origin. A Bohemian peasant girl
was seen dancing "out of her own
head" extemporizing from the sheer
Joy Of her heart song, tune and steps
This she did on a Sunday afternoon in
Elbeleinitz. and an artist, one Josef
Neruda, who spled her, made note Of
Ill he saw. The people of the town
adopted the dance and called it the
pulka, half step. In 1885 it reached
Prague and Vienna in 1910; thence it
spread rapidly through Europe. When
NJ. Cellarius introduced it to the Pari-
SLAMS, we hear that all else gave way
before the all absorbing pursuit. the
polka, which embraces In its qualities
the intimacy of the waltz with the vi.
yacity Of the Irish jig."-Casselrs Mag

SpEARE
A Gocd Sized Audience 6reets
Min at the M E Church,

The NJ. =. church was we'll filled last
evening with an audience that repre-
scented the literary and cultured taste
of this city to listen to Shskespearean
lecture recital delivered by Mr.. Jno.
Jay Frainey, the we'll known public
reader. Mr.. Frainey's program con-
sisted of choice selections and excerpts
from Julius Ceaser, Hamlet, Macbeth,
Henry VIII, Merchant of Venice aud
Othello. coupled with some excellent
explanatory remarks touching the his
torical incidents surrounding the sew
ersl chsrsctars that enabled the aud
fence to have keener appreciation of
the lines as they were penned by the
immortal "bard" of Avon.
He paid graceful tribute to the late
President Mckinley and said that In
the sad sudden and untimely death Of
the late President and in times of q
great crisis We. do we'll to turn to the
pen and tongue of VIM. Shakespeare.
Nothing nicer said he, could have
been publicly uttered over the late
VIM. Mckinley than that which was
publicly uttered by Marc Antony over
the body of Brutus after the Inflated
battle of Phillppi, His life WAS gentle
nd the elements so mixed in HIM that
nature might stand up and say to all
the world he was just man or the
words of Macbeth when contemplating
the assassination of Duncan, King OF
Scotland, lie hath born his faculties
so meek, hath been 3D. clear in his great
office that his virtues would plead like
angels trumpet tongued, against the
deep damnation of his taking off >"
Mr.. Frainey continuing said that in
the literary works of VIM. Shakespeare
there was the finest art gallery in the
world wherein could be found every
variety of character, that the human
PASSIONS of ". grief, fear hope. love
hate. gayety, melancholy, avarice
benevolence, revenge, ingratitude
were by him chisled IN words, that he
vas sculptor i'll speech and colorist
IN words and was justly entitled to the
distinction of being one of the greatest
intellectual athletes that ever trod this
earth.
| He said in conclusion that we look
upon Shakespeare as we do an intellec'
tual miracle and accounted for him as
Se would the highest peak on the
Alps, the Andes or the Rocky Noun
rains, or the priceless jewels and gems

sea and that to add anything thereto
would be like gilting refined gold
painting lily or sprinkling perfume
on violet.
Mr.. Frainey's lecture showed q deeI
insight into the history as we'll as the
beauty of the drama, his rendering OF
the lines from Brutus, Antony, Shy

Othello we're coupled with 3 vigorous

as the appreciation of his audience.

Dreadful Attack of Whoop-

Mrs. Ellen Harrison, of 300 Park
Ave, Kansas City, Mo-. writes as fol-
lows: "Our two children had severe
attack of whooping cough, one of them
in the paroxysm of coughing would
often faint and bleed at the nose. We
tried everything we heard of without
getting relief. We then called in our

The Horse and the stage.

Once upon a time in q melodramatic
theatrical performance the leading man
took fiery, untamed steed OH the
stage. After the horse heard some OF
the lines delivered by several Of the
actors he began kicking the fats and
wings to pieces, sending them up
among the dies.
Help. help" cried the leading man.
"Nay, nay" answered the manager
'The horse shows great discernment.
BE is trying to elevate the stage"

most humble effort in good cause

While Robert Stewart was governor
Of Missouri steamboat man was
brought In from the penitentiary as an
applicant for pardon. He was large,
powerful fellow, and when the govern
or looked at him he seemed strangely
affected. He scrutinized him long and
closely. Finally he signed the docu-
ment that restored the prisoner to llb,

said, You will commit some other
crime and be In the penitentiary again.

The man solemnly promised that he
would not The governor looked doubt

You will so back on the river and
be mate again, suppose?'
The man replied that he would.

thing" resumed the governor. Il want
sou to pledge your word that when you
are mate again you will never take a
billet OF wood in your hand and drive
q sick boy out of u bunk to help you
load your boat on stormy night.
The steamboat man said no would
not and inquired what the governor
meant by asking him such question.
The governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become Il governor,
and you may want him to pardon you
for a crime. One dark. stormy night,
many years ago. you stopped your boat

Letter From Oklahoma.
RoasLAxn; o. T. April

RoaELANn; o., T., April l2, 1900.
Editor TINES: II you will give me little !
space in your paper will write few line. in
regard to conditions in Oklahoma. We hear .
great deal of talk that would make one not &C.
Oklahoma was not place fit for . white man
to live in. and that the people are suffering
from the effects of the drOuth of last summer.
But such ia far from the facts. We are willing
to admit that there waa partial failure in corn:
in fact, some fields was complete failure.
others were very good But there was plenty
of feed for stock, so that we have not heard of
any loss in that respect. In fact, in this part
of the country there will be feed left over that
will not be u,ed at all. "a most of the stock are
getting their living on the grass. Corn has not
been hut little, if any higher here than in other
portions of the country, the average price being
about 65c to TO- There were more bushels of
wheat and more bales of cotton raised in Okla
oma in 1901 than ever raised here in any
one year before: so you see very plainly that
there in not 40 much cause for alarm IS some
people would make believe
We have heard how some people have been
suffering and had tn have help. There arc IL
few such cases, but that docs net throw no bad
reflection on Oklahoma, as they are in the west
ern part where it ia thinly scttled and what is
called the blue grass country The cattle ate
their grass up. and as that was all they had it
is reasonable that they should need some help.
But those conditions gradually being
pushed farther west, it is only question of one
or two years until they will be a thing of the
past.
Those that are looking for homes need not
hesitate to go into that part of the country. We
have a fine prospect for crop of wheat, selling
Mt G5c per bushcl, with land prices ranging from
800 to $4,000 per 100 acres. and the rains W 4
have been having this spring, we are in a fai
way to enjoy wave of prosperity-such as has
never been known before. And, with three
railroads headed for Dewy county, do not Sc
why Dewy county would not be good place to
invest money, as prof are unques tionably
sure as we have some of as fine farming and
fruit lands as can be found anywhere in the
southwest.

HAVING assaulted
FRANK wAI.STON.

Frank Walston, a well known bar
tender, was assaulted as he stood in
the rear door of saloon near Tenth
and Husbands several months ago,
and for while il was believed was
fatally injured. He was struck in
the head with club, and about the
same time Will Pryor. a young negro
drum major" about the city with
whom he had had few words, dis
appeared.
Last night Pryor, who had been
in Memphis ever since, was arrested
by Officers Nance and Singery, near
Ninth and Court streets, and con-
fessed to Captain Bailey that he com.
mitted the deed, giving rs the cause
the fact that walston cursed him.
walston now lives in Murray, and the
case against Pryor will be tried as
soon as he can be notified to come

OR THE POOR AND MIDI LIE
MANS BENEFIT.
THE TRADING STAMPS.

There has been much interest mani
tested by certain business men and
firms concerning the TRADING stamp"
question. There are few business
concerns in Paducah which nave been
more fortunate financially than some
others. and with their money prestige
and the influence of the press, which
is always ON the side of the trusts,
they seek to drive out anything and
everything that is likely to give the
other fellow chance to have pull, "
as 1t were. with the buying public.
The truth Of it is, they see In the
trading stamp" . combination OF
weaker merchants, financially, that Is
likely to eclipse in many cases these
ball and bat, marble and other catch
penny schemes and thereby lose some
Of these customers OF cause them, as
some Of their business dictators say,
to enter the Grading stamp" COM
bination in order to keep space with
the tide Of trade, The business die
tator also says that the merchant
which are in the TRADING stamp"
combinations will have TO charge more
for their goods. II that is true, we
pity the poor workingman who buys
his goods from those opposed who
spend five times as much for newspa-
per advertising and ball and bat
schemes trying TO convince the unsus-
pecting public Of their "matohless bar
gains" etc. The trading stamp
scheme is nothing more or less than
legitimate and effective advertising
method that costs the merchant very
much less than so much display
newspaper advertising and 1t gives
the entire cost of said ADVERT sing
direct to the customers without 8
cent Of cost to them.
t. schwab, 2l6 Broadway, say'
that he guarantees to sell Dry Goods
and Clothing Cheaper than any. of the
other concerns and will give to
every cash purchaser the trading
, stamps which can and will be re-
deemed with beautiful and useful
