The prince was rather surprised to
hear himself called Ben but remem-
bering what the fairy had said, he
replied:
i've come to play
Good" answered Jack. sMother's
given me a holiday. She says we can
take our lunch to the pasture and stay
all day.
why did you have a hoiday?'
asked Rupert.
Because it is my birthday replied
Jack.
But how can we eat lunch out in
the pasture without any table or
chairs?" said Rupert. The prince had
never eaten a meal outdoors in all
his prim little life.
"A table. We don't need table.
Why. we sit on the ground, of course.
exclaimed Jack scOrnfully.
He disappeared into the house and
soon appeared Juggling an old market
basket
They walked along a dusty road for
a little way till they reached the pas
ture The boys went on till they ar
rived at an old apple tree at one end
of the field. Jack climbed up into it.
and when he had perched himself firm
" in fork of the tree he called to
Rupert below:
"Sling up the basket.
Rupert handed it to him. and ne
hung it on a branch, and then said to
Rupert. who was by this time comtor-
tably seated in the tree:
sIve a penknife in my pocket. Want
to see it,
Yes" said Rupert.
Jack pulled it out. 1t was strong
sharp one. and Rupert praised it. and
than said: But what shall we dc
when we get tired of whittling?'
Eat lunch" was the response.
Rupert had been so much interested
in his adventures that it was then that
he noticed for the first time that, al
though it had been evening when he
met the fairy. it was now broad day
light.
That's rather queer" to sa ythe
least. but it must be some of the fairy
doings." he thought.
Then Jack and he clambered dowf
from the tree, and Jack took a smal
piece of wood and showed Rupert how
to whittle rings inside Of each other.
Rupert could not do it at first, but at
last he made two that were quite re
| spectacle.
Lets have lunch now,' said Jack
! "All right" agreed Rupert.
| 1t was a delicious lunch, he Thought
although it consisted only of sand
u;ohes annlas and milk.

7 II I:

There are two CT three plain and
simple principles that communities
must sooner or later recognize and
act upon The first is that IAN ounce
of prevention is better than a pound
Of cure 1t is cheaper to keep the
ice off the sidewalks than to pay for
broken legs and necks. 1t is better
to take care of the garbage than TO
try to head off an epidemic. This
principle ought to commend itself to
young and growing community like
our own. This city is in it's forma-
tive stages and the patriotic, public
spirited citizens of today can shape its
future. The foul and reeking tene-
ment and that plague center, the
sWeatshOp, can be kept out. Let us
not wait for these evil and deadly
combinations which alone appeal to so
many people. There are still those
who will give great sums of money to
plaster and poultice Old sores. but not
a cent to keep the blood pure and
clean from the start. In the sphere
of prevention no work is so hopeful
as that which is done with the child
rem. The second principle is that
guiding and training the energies is a
great deal better than trying to re-
press them.
The alleys of the city are now be-
ginning to send forth the familiar
odors of the good old summer time"
-odOrs that are ladened with germs
enough to produce a plague. The citiz-
ems should take more pride in the
city's sanitary condition and
such filth as may be seen in most
| alleys should not be tolerated. 1t
should be burned. buried carted off or
N some manner disposed of otherwise
than tossing it over into the alleys.
Such filth as dish water. vegetable
| parings and similar garbage should
never reach the alleys. It is astonish-
| ing to see filth which has been tossed
| into the alleys from the residences of
| the best people. The civic league
| has formulated we'll grounded kick
| against such filthiness, and it is to be
hoped that the league may be able to
put stop to it, as the city has not.

Looking LongingIy al Big

The Flemingsburg Times Demo-
crat says:
"E. G, Arnold, of Newport, rep
resentlng company having over
$4,000 acres and fine coal and tim
ber lands in Knott county, was
here Monday to look over the local
situation and see II something
could not be done toward building
a line from Cincinnati through
this place and thence by way of
the Morgan coal fields OF Knott
county.
"lhere is 90 question but that
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
r. X. Co. is interested in getting a
line to the eastern Kentucky coal
fields. They need great qualities
OF coal for their own use, and there
are millions of tons Of the finest in
the world ready for the miners
pick and drill to put 1t in shape to
develop heat and power for the
world OF manufactures and COM
merce,
"The first Of the great railroad
systems to get into the field will
get in on the ground floor as it
were and will reap the benefit OF
their enterprise. A line from
Cincinnati crossing the river at
Wellsburg or in that vicinity and
coming through the counties OF
Bracken, Mason, Fleming, Rowan,
Morgan, Magoilln and Knott would
pass through some OF the finest
agricultural territory In the State,
and by far the finest in the world.
(, This is a bold assertion, but we
challenge successful contradiction.
This being the case, why should
any railroad company hesitate to
take hold of the enterprise?
Capital in abundance can be had
for putting through the work
which has behind it such positive
assurances Of success.
"Our local Board of Trade should
at once get together and take steps
to put this enterprise before the
railroad world and to set about
raising a fund as bonus to induce
, them to 60 to work promptly and
, put it through.
GAS we have heretofore remark
ed, this is not matter in the In
terest OF Flemingsburg alone, but
OF tho whole county and the neigh
boring counties. Maysville made
a great mistake when she spent
her millions to build the Maysvill,
& Lexington r. r., in that she die
not point it toward the mountain
coal fields. She might today hav,
occupied a place as a city equal o
superior to Covington had sh,
done so.
"Let us embrace this opportunit,
to put ourselves in a com mandinj
position so far as good and cheaI
fuel supply is concerned and as
u sure an outlet for the products o
= our fertile lands. II this oppor
$ tunity be neglected we may neve
