CAUSE OF KENTUCKY FE1yDs
freshdent OF Beren College, In a Re-
cent Address, Says Eduoa-
tfOn Is Wanting.

DR.. w. G. Frost, president of Berea
college, in the mountains of Kentucky
recently made the following remark at
the Chautauqua assembly at Buffalo. N
T., on the mountain feuds:
THE absence of restraint" said he. 'is
the sole cause Of the feud. The noun
aineers OF Appalachian America are the
descendants of colonials, not to be con-
fused with poor whites. They are south
ernors who owned land, but not slaves
and who were loyal to the flag in the
civil war.
'"rhe feud area has greatly contracted
in recent times. Many killings caused
by whisky or sudden anger are classed
by newspapers with feud murders Such
is not true.
'The case in Breathitt county is a no.
litical one-an outbreak unusual and
not to be classed with ordinary feuds. AS
the death of Hamilton was the occasion
of great sermon by DR.. Knott, which
practically ended the duel in America
SO we may hope the storm of opposi-
tion aroused by the death of Marcum
may bring us nearer the end of political
assassinations in Kentucky"
The cure for the feud, said DR.. Frost
is educational.

Thrusting the paper into his pocket
Tom strode hurriedly down the sloppy
sidewalk, and in few minutes stood
before the large brick building which
contained President Johnson's office. A
wave Of indecision swept across his face
as he Srraped the mud and snow from his
Well-wCrn shoes. 1t was perilcus un-
dertaking, and none knew the danger of
1t better than he. Then the recollection
OF his wife's bitter words returned with
full force, and he hesitated no longer.
Maggie is a good woman in most
things he said to himself. and the blue
eyes glistened, "and maybe l haven't
done by her what might For her sake
and the baby's III try it,"
"Well, Tom. my man, you will under
take to cut the jam and save the mills ?"
said President johnson moment later,
as Tom, hat in hand, stood before his
desk. "Do you know that it is a danger
GUS piece of work? There is probably
not another man in Alcona county who
would run the risk for twice the sum
named Indeed, 1t was not so much with
the hope of saving the mills as it was a
formality to secure our insurance riehts
that the reward was offered. However.
II your mind Is made up it is not my
place to dissuade you If you are sue
cessful the money is yours, and will add
another hundred from my own private
purse"
And if anything happens to me, the
money will be paid to Mag-my wlfe?"
IF the jam is broken, yes
William Johnson was a kind-hearted
man, and as he watched the big, childish
lumberman move toward the door a sus-
picious film blurred his vision for mo-
ment, and there was just the least huskf-
ness in his tones as he bade him Cod
speed.
Poor fellow" he murmured. ag he
turned to his work, life has not been all
smooth with him lately, and he Is in a
great measure responsible for his own
but should greatly regret
if any evil were to befall him at this
work"
In the smaller of the two scanttly fur
nished apartments that constituted their
home, Margaret Harding busted herself
in the preparation of dinner. Glancing
at the cracked porcelain clock on tho
she quit her work for the twelfth
time. and going to the door, looted nm
easily down the long muddy street IF
was deserted save for one SOLITARY figure
that came bounding along as fast as his
short legs could carry him, regardless
alike of the slush of mud and snow be-
meath his feet and the gusts of wind and |
rain which came near upsetting him at |
intervals.
Say, you hearn?" he gasped, as he |
dashed up to where Margaret stood.
What do you mean, Bobbie Carson?
Have heard what?"
About Tom. He's undertook to cut
the jam above the mill, an mos ever
body says he'll be killed. Sposed Won
knew about it." And swelling over the
Importance of his message, the thought
ess urchin galloped on his way.
For minute or more Margaret stood
looking blankly across the street
through the dashing rain. Every bitter
word she had uttered that morning
occurred to her mind in all it's crual
strength. and seemed to burn itself in on
ler very soul in great red letters of fire
The look, half of anger, half of sad re-
roach. with which he had turned from
aer and kissed the baby sleeping quietly

He reached into the pocket of his
faded, threadbare coat and drew forth
crumped sheet of paper. Slowly, for the
fifth time, he went over the words
printed in large, flaring letters, the ink
not yet dry:
