Probably the most impossible.
hopeless task on earth is to overtake
a lie. The other day ex.Speaker John
G. Carlisle, now n successful lawyer
for great corporations. with an old
fashioned home in North Washing
ton square, passed along Pine street
with the easy gait of n plow horse.
Two citizens saluted him and when
he had passed on one remarked:
There used to be the making OF n
president in that man. The entire
country looked up to him. II 1t had
not been for his Cynthiana speech the
northern democracy would have been
solid for him, and. of course. he
owned the southern wing. The speech
ruined him. He retired from politics
with a broken heart and settled in
New York to make little money"
Here Is an extract from that IA
nous, heart.rending speech:

a nation! 1t Is n vicious system that
has destroyed sovereign states and
oppressed nine millions OF people in
the south. II state has no right of
secession she certainly has no right
of revolution. The most Infamous
order ever issued was that OF the at.

lie came originally from Kentucky.
and located at Greenyills. near here.
He was n natural born" Inventor and
Invented and manufactured Il machine
for chopping straw. He soon moved
to New Albany. where he built steam
boats. His attention was attracted by
little factory at LenoS. Mass. which
was manufacturing a crude form OF
rough plate glass for skylights. He
set his wits to work and designed the
hrst machinery for the manufacture
OF polished plate glass. This machin.
cry was made at New Albany foun-
dries. He Interested his cousin. Wash.
ington c. DE Pauw. man OF large
means. and they operated the FIRST
plate glass manufactory. which was n
huge success. but they could not agree
as to business policy. and Ford sold
his interest to DE Pauw. Ford then
established factories at Louisville and
Jcfersonyillc. which failed.

SHEEP CLIPPED BY MACHINERY.
Hand Shearers a Thing Of the Past
in Arizona.

In Arizona.
Arizona's sheep are no longer c1p-
ped by hand. According to the Bal
timore Sun power 'machines have
almost superseded the old-time hand
shearers. At the main shearing plant
there arc twenty machines run by a
gasoline engine and operated by as
many skilful shearers. A days work
for one of these men, with his clip
pers. run by gasoline, is to clip from
100 to 125 sheep. In the hands OF an
expert the work is done better than
with the hand shears, and the sheep
are left in better condition than
after hurried shearing In the old
fashioned way.
The clippers are much like the or
binary horse clippers, and seem to
fairly peel off the fleece when run at
full speed. Then there Is an econo-
my about the machine clipping in
the fact that the wool is taken of
evenly, making uniform staple and
taking away all the growth. instead
of leaving tufts and patches on the
sheep. So closely may the wool be
clipped that sheep have been known
to blister from the sun the next day,
but of course, this can be avoided by
regulating the shears.

KNEW HE WAS A COWARD.
Indian Had His Opponent Properly
Sized Up,

An Oklahoma man once told an In
dian that n desperate white man was
after his scalp. He smiled and shook
his head. "A few days later" con-
tinues the narrator, I'VE were talking
to the white man when the Indian
came up to join the group He had
spotted the stranger and knew him by
sight. Without saying n word to him
he walked up within arms reach and
struck the white man in the face with
rough, heavy glove. He paused for
a few seconds and hit him again.
'Ugh! he exclaimed as he wheeled
around and walked away. The white
man looked at the Indian in amaze
ment, but made no show of resent
ment. Later in the day when we
asked the Indian why he didn't follow
up the insult with blows he told us
the white man was a coward. In ex-
planning how he knew it he said the
mans jaw dropped when he struck
him in the face the second time with
the glove, and that this. with the In
dian, was an unfailing sign OF COW.

TO OBSERVE HOLIDAYS.
Concerted Action of Local Business
men and Clerks.

A number of the merchants of the
city, representing almost all lines of
business, held meeting last evening
to consider the question of closing
days" 1t has been the custom in the
city for a number of years to close up
shops upon certain holidays. 1t has
been customary with any certain holi-
day to pass a petition or agreement
about the city to the merchants in a
certain line of business under the
terms of which the shops were closed
for certain hours. The method has al
ways been unsatisfactory. The
Clerks Union has taken up the matter
and a committee has been appointed
to confer with a committee of bust
ness men concerning the days tnat
shall be known as holidays and the
hours that all the stores shall be
closed. If such an agreement is
reached the holidays will become fixed
and the public will become accustom-
ed to the hours of closing. The holi-
days will thus be as well established
as is now the six o'clock closing of the
shops upon all days but Saturdays.
The clerks have recommended that
four full holidays and two half holt
days be established.
A committee consisting of Bert Wal
ton, V. E. Hamilton, John Mattison, b.
| V. Harris, Ed Belmont and John Rem
frew was appointed to confer with the
clerks on the subject, and meeting
will be arranged in the near future.
The business men recommend that
five half holidays and one full holiday
be arranged for. 1t is thought that
this will be best for the interests Of all
concerned.
The holidays recommended for clos
ing are as follows:
| New Years, half day.
Decoration Day, half day.
July fourth, half day.
Thanksgiving, half day.
| Christmas, half day.
Labor Day, all day.
| There are some interests in the city
that could not be best served by such
closing, hence it is recommended lat
Labor Day be half day for butchers,
bakers anu others.
The matter will be thoroughly can
vassed in the committee and perma-
nent good will come out Of it. The
adoption of a permanent list Of holi-
days will do away with the petition
and agreement business and will re-
lieVe the public.
The committees will agree upon a
list that will stand for term Of two
years. The clerks are to advertise
the holidays by cards in the stores
and notices in the papers until such
time as the public may become thor
oughly acquainted with the custom.
