The Girl We Admire.

NThe most lovable girls in the
world are those with a sunny dis
position. A few people like the
quiet. thoughtful girl; Others like
the girl who is perpetually viva
cious and bubbling over with
spirits. But every one likes the
girl with the cheerful, sunny dis
position. Girls of this character
are never extravagantly boisterous
or dismally quiet; they have a
pleasant smile for every ole They
never seem troubled or worried,
their voice is low and musical, and
their smile-be they pretty or not
lis always sweet.
The only trouble that the sunny
tempered girl has is the outcome of
her popularity. Every one wants
to talk to her, and be in her COM
pany. Young men are attracted to
her without effort On her part, ec-
her character shows itself so plain
fy>in her actions that young men
are so delighted at the cheeriness
and sympathy of ner nature that
they are drawn to her at once.
For every reason, then, the girl
with the sunny disposition, who
smiles away the troubles of life, is
a favorite. And, what is more, old
people are just as charmed by her
as are those of about her own age.

What Kentucky Stands For.

The name Kentucky stands for
beauty in women, chivalry in men,
quality in whiskey, speed, blood
and breeding in live stock, and alb
solute superiority in grain drills.
The Kentucky Grain Drill is
made in Louisville, KY, and stands
pre- eminently at the front for Its
excellence in every feature essen
tial to the making of such an i'm
plement.
In the first place it does the work.
Does more work and better work
than any other. 1t is built for
service. Has more clearance and
don't clog. The bearings are cone
shape, thus friction and wear are
reduced to a minimum. Works
well in either wet or dry ground,
Spreads the grain evenly. They
are reasonable in first cost and
economical to maintain.
The Kentucky can be quickly
changed into either a shoe or disc
drill. The farmer may buy either
attachment or both. according 70
the requirements of the season at
planting time.
Every farmer who plants grain
should have the handsome booklets
describing the many points of merit
possessed by this implement. Read
the advertisement of the American
Seeding Machine Company on an
other page and write them at Louis
vile for their new Grain Drill
Catalogue.

The subject of this sketch has
been for the last three years the
official stenographer of the twenty
first judicial district of Kentucky.
He is an Ohioan by birth, having
been born in Cincinnati, April 26,
1878. Since his twelfth year, how
ever, his home has been at Mt.
Sterling, Kentucky. During his
last year in the Mt. Sterling high
school, from which he was gradu-
ated in 1897, he became interested
in photography, and received some
instruction from Benn Pitman
friend. Most of his studying was
done alone, however; but, by oint
of haro work and much practice
he was able, Immediately on leav-
ing school, to accept position with
two prominent attorneys of Mt.
Sterling-Henry r. Prewitt and
Allie W. Young-and his connec-
ton with them continues at tn
present time. Mr.. Young has been
for the last four years the chairman
of the Democratic State central
and executive committees of the
State of Kentucky, and, in 1899,
during Hon. William Goebel's cam
paign for the governorship of Ken
lucky, Mr.. Senf was stationed al
the Democratic headquarters al
Frankfort, acting as private score
tary to Mr.. Young. Here his dp
ties, though unusually ardrous and
responsible, were performed with
the same skill which has character

lied his work in al other direc-
tions. AT present he is again fill
ing the office of secretary to Mr..
Young, who, as chairman, is con-
Quoting the State primary to select
the Democratic nominees for State
offices.
The twenty first judicial district
of Kentucky comprises the counties
of Montgomery, Bath, Menifee, and
Rowan, the Common law, equity,
and criminal divisions being all in
one. Circuit court is held in each
of these counties three times a year.
Although holding his official posi-
ton for but three years, Mr.. Senf
has already done a large amount of
reporting, especially in criminal
cases, the criminal docket in Rowan
county being almost invariably a
a large one. At one term Of court
eight murder cases were disposed
#.
His work in the office of Messrs.
Prewitt and Young gave Mr.. Sentf
a good insight into the law, and
his official position as a court re-
porter furnish him with much
practical experience, and, as a re-
suit. in April, 1899, he passed good
examination before two Judges of
the Kentucky court of appeals, and
was admitted to practice at the
bar. Since that time he has com.
bined the professions of law and re-
porting.-The Photographic Mag

The Caleb Powers case will not
be tried at the pending term of the
Scott Circuit Court. when the
case was called at Georgetown the
attorneys for the defense submitted
a motion that Judge Cantrill vacate
the bench. The motion was over
ruled and Judge Cantrill ordered
the case held over to the fourteenth
day of term to enable the attorneys
for the defense to apply for a rule
of prohibition. Judge Cantrill said
his purpose was to ascertain the
meaning of the majority opinion of
the Appellate Court rendered on
the last appeal of the case. This
opinion, he indicated, was contra
ry to long line of Appellate Court

THE NEW FASHION PERIOD, 1903.
Style Today is Near to Nature.

In its inception and design
it differs markedly from the
accepted models of any pre-
vious period. Progress may
be noted, constantly better
ward, from the time when
dress designers aimed rather
to display the dress than to
enhance the beauty and grace
of its wearer. Then it was
mainly question of color
scheme and trimming artifice
which might be very effect
i've as decorative part of A
grand assemblage.
But taken by itself it look
ed most glaringly consPicu-
Gus, and very often was en-
tirely out of beauty tone with
its wearer. Now, at last,
style has evidently seen the
error of its way, for it is
drawing near to nature. The
Springs leading creations
Near witness that the worlds
greatest designers have come
to realize that nothing is fair
er than the female form; that
anything w h &c h destroys
comfort must destroy beauty;
and that is the simple reason
why Mrs. M. Love who has
charge of the Dressmaking
Department at Kaufman,
Straus & Co IS, is meeting
with such phenomenal and
deserved success.
Mrs. Loves idea is to inn
part to every gown a style in
dividuality that nothing can
lose. The gowns which are
being turned out by this high
class modiste are the very
perfection of fit and style.
They are marked by that in
? de6nable smartness of cut
and correctiveness of detail
which is today so essential to
the we'll dressed woman.

TO LESSEN DAMAGE
BY FOREST FIRES.
The Bureau of Forestry Observes
Them Burning this Year, and
Will Recommend Means of
Prevention.

Last year within two weeks over
$l2, 100000 worth of timber and
other property was destroyed by
forest fires in Oregon and Washing
ton. This enormous loss occurred
upon restricted area and repre-
sents only very small part of the
annual loss from this source. Every
timbcrcd region Of the United
States suffers year after year from
fire. The annual loss is estimated
at from $4,000, 900 to $50, 100000.
Forest fires have been regarded as
almost inevitable, and few syste-
matte attempts have been made to
prevent or control them except in
the States of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and Minnesota, which have
efficient systems of fire protection.
The Bureau of Forestry has this
year undertaken thorough study
of the forest-fre problem in several
different regions. 1t has placed
men in forest districts to study fires
while ir the process of burning.
Instead of waiting until the fires
are over and relying for informa-
ton on local reports, as has been
done heretofore, the fires are now
being observed by the Bureaus
agents and full data will be OBJ
tanned as to how they were caused,
how fast they burn, what condi.
tions favor or hinder them, and
just what damage they do to the
soil and to tree growth. Each
agent of the Bureau has been as
signed to a district and is investi-
eating all fires that occur within
his territory. For example, one
man studies lumber tract. anoth
err a farming district, third tur-
pentine orchard, etc.
In connection with this detailed
study, the agents will observe the
methods of fire protection practiced
by railroads and other owners of
timber lands. The fire warden
systems of the States which have
forest-fire laws, and the patrol sys-
TEN in use on the Federal forest re-
serves will also be observed closely.
By such methods the Bureau of
Forestry hopes to replace with care
fully gathered facts the vague gen
eral notions that now exist about
forest fires. When the problem is
solved for any particular region,
the Bureau will be ready to recon-
mend methods OF hire prevention and
control for the private land owner,
and to suggest forest-fre legisla-
tion for the various States.
The investigation is now in pro
gress in northern Florida and
southern Alabama and Georgia
under the direction of Ernest A.
Sterling. H.. j. Tomkins, with a
small corps of assistants, has begun
the work in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Michigan. Later in the season
a study of forest fires will be made
on the Pacific coast.

WHAT CAN 1 DO?
A Question Which Every Christian
Should Ask Himself i'm COnsid-
erin. the Drink Problem.

This is question which every Chris
tian man and woman in America
should ask very earnestly and serious
ly before the Lord, as touching their
personal relations to the drink ques-
tion and the long list of heartaches and
heartbreaking questions that logically
grow out of the licensed saloon issue.
There are upward of 500. 600 habitual
drunkards in the United States, and
100000 of these are topping over into
the abyss of a drunkard's eternity
every year; or. in other words, 275 of
these poor unfortunates of the earth
are thus slipping into n drunk
ards awful doom every day.
which. allowing the ordinary ratio
of one man representing a fam
lily of five. makes the picture most
appalling one when we realize that
this fearful maelstrom of licensed in
iquity is thus plunging into degrada-
ton. despair and death 1875 people
every "a hours, four-fifths of whom
are innocent women and children. and
we turn from the ghastly scene al
most in despair when we remember
that 100000 bright. clean. intelligent
boys must be enticed into the net Of
this arch-deStroyer of human hopes
and happiness every year to take the
places of those who have passed on to
Judgment. for the ranks of the first
named 100000 must be constantly re-
cruited or the saloons would very soon
be out of business.
What say you. brother. sister? Must
your own darling boy fall into the
snare, or your sweet daughter become
the bond-slave of one who shall after
ward be transformed into a drunken
demon. before you will awake TO the
awful danger and responsibility that
lies just at your own door?
For, as sure as the word of God be
true, if we are TO keep silence and let
the nation plunge deeper and deeper
into this quagmire of licensed dam
nation without a protest that shall
ring so clear and loud that the noise
and voice thereof shall reach even to
the very gates of Heaven, we shall
surely be guilty of the blood of all
these that fall.
Aye, brother, sister, ask yourself as
you read the word of God, in the
light of what has been to other nations
and peoples of the earth: What shall
be to this blessed land of the free, if
this pestilential debauchery shall be
permitted to go onY
And then, as you shall be given spir
itual vision to behold the end. except
the nation shall repent of her sins and
plead for forgiveness before God, may
you ask yourself again: What have |
done; what am l doing to stem this
fearful tide of drunkenness and woe,
and in earnest petition before the
throne of grace may you be led to
pray: Lord, what wilt thou have me
do?" and have Divine grace given you
so that your ear may be attuned to the
voice of the spirit, and whatsoever lie
saith unto you do it." For the time
is short. and the harvest is at hand.

WASTED PITY.
Eastern Paper Believes That Drunk
ards should BE Dealt with
with stern Justice.
cate.

The pity so frequently expressed for
habitual drunkards seems to be entire
ly misplaced, and when they are le-
gally punished there are always people
to intercede for them on the ground
that they are not responsible for their
overindulgence in liquor. Why are they
not as responsible as any other per-
son who violates the law-the thief,
for instance. or the man who assaults
defenseless women on the public high
ways? If an intoxicated man is guilty
of manslaughter or any other muir
derous act, he is not excused at the
bar of justice on account of his condi-
ton. OF course, we all have pity for
the sinner in a general way, but there
is no good reason why we should have
any particular cOmmiseration for the
topper or the sot who deliberately and
persistently puts an enemy into his
mouth to steal away his brains.
There is great deal of sentimental
ity shown by well-meaning people in
the treatment of inebriates. and this
often makes him imagine that he is
more sinned against than shining, that
he is almost a saint, in fact, who is the
victim of circumstances.
If he were made to feel that the
man who turns himself into a beast
in any way is not entitled to kind
consideration, there would be more
chance of reforming him, and he would
see that he could overcome his temp
tation to drink strong liquors to ex-
cess just the same as a man could re-
sist any unworthy prompting of the
sensual nature. Every living human
being is given free will and under
standing, and he is able to make him
self reputable or the contrary. as he
chooses. Let us have done with pat
ting the drunkard on the back. and we
may make man of him.-Boston
