THEY SAY"

Two simple words, which we hear
almost every hour in the day. Rich
aud poor, high and low continuously
use them.
Have you ever stopped to think how
many times tears have flown; how
many hours aud days, aye, months and
years, have been lived through in
bitter anguish; how many hearts have
been broken-all because Of the simple
phrase. "They say"
How friendly it often sounds And
yet how much venom is noe infre-
quently hidden in it!
The most preposterous statements
are sometimes introduced with They
say" And there are always people
ready to believe the almost unbeliev.
able, and who iterate and yeiterste it
until IL becomes an accepted fact.
"They say" Is like the mirage that
appears to the thirsty traveller in the
desert the more he strains TO reach it
the more rapidly it fades away into
mere nothingness.
When the victim Of SANDER tries TO
trace it to its source nobody knows
anything about it exoept-"They
say"
1t was repeated merely as a stray
bit of news; no evil was intended; it
was only joke; nothing had been
made up, and it was simply repeti-
ton Of what others had stated.
But it grew like the rings from a
stone cast into the wster; like an
avalanche hurtling down the noun
tain side it gained in speed and force /;
IL struck home.
! And another reputation was blasted,
another heart was broken !-Ez.

THE GREATEST EVER
b, p. o. Z. National Convention
to be Well Attended
Kentucky will Be Represented in
An Appropriate and Historic
Manner.
A ROYAL WELCOME WAITING

Kentucky Elks are looking forward
with keen anticipation to the annual
reunion of the B. p. o. E. of America,
to be held in Baltimore July 81 to 90.
Splendid as has been the representa-.
tion from old Kentucky at the other
reunions. there is every reason to be-
lieve that the crowd at Baltimore will
exceed all others both in point of
numbers and in the lavishness with
which il will sustain the states far
famed reputation for hospitality and
good fellowship.
Through the efforts Of the reunion
committee of the Louisville lodge of
Elks, of which Mr.. Max Bloom is
chairman, the magnificent Union
League club house, with all its equip
ment. has been secured as headquarters
during the reunion. At the Lexing.
ton reunion these headquarters were
courteously turned over to the state
organization for state headquarters in
an effective speech by Mr.. Bloom.
Thus for the first time Kentucky will
have state headquarters at national
reunion and will dispense princely
hospitality.
Few buildings in Baltimore are so
well adapted for ente rtainment ss the
Union League club. The Kentucky
Elks will establish headq quarters proper
in the handsome assembly room, a
splendid apartment lending into the
smoking. reading and billiard rooms
In the center Of this room will
stand an old-fashioned log cabin with
q coon skin hanging alongside the
door. Inside this cabin the real Ken
tucKy article will be dispensed. At
the door will be stationed a six-footer
to represent the Eentuckian of the
Daniel Boone period. He will be clad
in buckskin and will be armed with
an old.time flintlock smooth-bore rifle.
The headquarters will be attractively
decorated and illuminated, and re-
freshments will be served day and
night By a committee. There will be
a special ladies' committee to look
after the women callers. The use OF
the reception rooms OF the club house
has been secured for large receptions
at night.
Thus in every way the reputation of
Kentucky will be maintained at Balti-
more. Col. r. s. Brown, who was at
Baltimore recently making arrange
meuts, says that the people of the
Maryland city are ready to welcome
the Kentuckians with open arms.
The Kentucky Elks will go to Balti-
more in a magnificent special train
over the b. and o. S.-w. Every de-
tail for the trip has been arranged by
Col. r. S. Brown, the hustlirg district
passenger agent of the road. The spe-
cial will leave Louisville Sunday, July
10, at 1 80 p. m, arriving in Bslti-
more the next day at noon. The
special will travel over a historic
country.
The special will be used by all the
Elks' lodges Of the state, who expect
TO send the biggest delegations that
ever represented them at any reunion.
In fact, the train will be a Kentucky
special, open not only to members of
the order, but to all others who want
TO take advantage of the low rates

fair military bearing and appearance.
OF the companies stationed at Hun

the companies stationed at Parkersburg
are only fairly efficient. Captain
Lewis saws that the enlisted men in
the guard were generally of good
physiqoe, with more or less intelli-
gence, and were good material for
soldiers. He saws tho desire to learn
was manifested. Captain Lewis then
adds
Considering the fact that the arm
cries offer no attraction, and consider
able opposition is said to exist against
the guard on the part of labor unions

motive for enlistment on the part OF
the men must be of considerable mill
