Reflections OF a Bachelor

Lack of money makes the mare
go lame.
The early bird that catches the
worm also has to make the fire.
Ii takes woman to do ignoble
things in spirit that ennobles her.
The surest way to stay poor
permanently is to try to set rich
quick.
Probably Adam himself didn't
recognize Ewes figure after she
dressed it up.
It's curious thing that women
generally weep at weddings and
pretend to at funerals.
When girl first puts on suspen-
der carriers she walks as if she
expected to fly up into the air.
a little touch of spring, a dash
of imagination, a flavor of forbid
den fruit-and YOU have a first
class scandal.
n woman conSidereS that she
makes a man a good wife when she
won't let him go to the club on a
rainy night for fear he will catch
pneumonia.
There Is nothing that makes a
girl act so sweet and friendly to
him as to go to the wedding of a
man she thought she was going to
marry till a hateful cat caught him.

ANATOMY OF AN OYSTER.
The nivaIve'~ Organs Are Numerous
and Its Heart quite HumanIIL~.

1he utNaiNc'~ Organs Are Numerous
and Its Heart quite HumnnIILe.
Every oyster has a mouth. a heart. n
liver. a stomach. besides many curious
~ devised little intcstines and other
organs - necessary organs. such as
would be handy TO living. moving.
intelligent creature. The mouth Is at
the end OF the shell. near the hinge and
adjoining the toothed portion OF the
oysters pearlS covering. This tiny lit
tie apology OF a mouth is oval I'm shape.
and. although hardly visible 10 one I'M
used 10 making such anatomical exam
nations, IL can be easily discovered by
gently pushing bodkin or a piece OF
blunt, smooth wire along the surface
OF the locality mentioned.
When the mouth Is at last located.
you can thrust your instrument through
between the delicate lips and consid-
cradle distance toward the stomach
without causing the oyster the least
pain whatever. From this mouth there
is OF course miniature canal leading
10 the stomach. Food passes from this
canal TO the stomach and from the lat
ter organ into the intestlnes Just as
readily as though the little bivalve
were as large as an elephant or a rhi-
pooeros.
Remove the shell (this operation is
rather rough on the oyster, but can be
done In comparatively painless man
ner by an experU, and you Will see the
crescent, which lies just over the so
called heart This half moon space Is
the oysters pericardium. Within is
the true heart. the pulsations OF which
can be readily seen without the aid OF
a glass. The heart is very humanlike,
made OF two parts, one OF which re-
eeives the blood from the gills through
2 network of real blood vessels; the
other portion contracts and drives the
blood out through the body. The other
organs Of an oysters anatomy are an
in their proper places and perform
their several functions.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The agitation for good roads con-
tinues, and Is becoming more wide
spread every day. This we are
glad to see. The only way To OBJ
tain good results Is by constant
agitation. The fault with the pre-
sent system, and as it has been for
generations, Is that energy and
and time and money have been APP
piled without concentration. To
our mind the very best way to
overcome the present difficulty Is
TO wipe out the present law root
and branch and abolish all the toll
gates and then let the roads of the
State at contract TO the lowest
responsible bidder at SO much per
mile per year; not more than five
miles of road to be let 10 any one
bidder. We have read a great
deal about roads. and have talked
about roads, and have heard plenty
OF talk about roads, and the above
seems TO us 10 be the best solution
of the road problem. The money
now expended for roads would
produce better results and would
60 much farther if applied in this
way.
But our personal views on this
matter may not meet with the same
popularity that our views on other
subjects have met with. and we
want the people of the county
the ones who suffer the most-to
think this matter over and talk it
over, and look at all sides of the
question, and then act
The voters of the county have it
IN their power TO vote for what
they want. and get what they vote
for. If it is necessary to have an
Act of the Legislature before
results can be obtained. then in
struct your delegates what TO do.
But TO go on, year after year.
waiting, like Micawber, for some
thing to turn up" is suicidal. If
YOU stand still, YOU are progress
ing backward. for you are getting
older every day.
You men who wore the gray and
fought on many a CORY field, are
YOU to let your country degenerate
after YOU have already fought as
no other army in the worlds his
tory has ever foughtl
VIII YOU forget that This is
my own, my native land -
You want bridges; You want
good roads: you want internal i'm
provements. Then why, as you
love this land, will YOU sit idly by
and not be up and awake to the
causes and their remedies!
The Old Dominion, the first
State in the Union, is absolutely
the last to break away from leth-
argy and inaction and step out into
the alignment of States, with
armor b-.Eht, and challenge com
parison with her sisters.
The voters have it in their power
to change all this.
How long will it go on as it is
now!

woman has been entertaining guests
from the tropics this summer IT
might be from the South Sea Islands,
but it's not, and it would ncver do to
tell just the locality flcm which they
hail, though it may be said that they
are islanders of some kind. There
have come from their islands, from
time to time quite number of people
who have settled in New York, but
while they are in the great metropolis
they are not of j., and their general
appearance betokens something OF the
carelessness of the tropics II they
should wear the native dress OF South
Sea islanders it would be all right

So it happened the other day that

somewhat gayly dressed, asked for

Had General George Washington ac-
cepted crown, as he might have done
at the close Of the Revolutionary war
an aged citizen of Louisville, Ky, would
had the dynasty been continued, be
king of the United States today, while
a well known man inPaducah would be
heir-apparent to the American throne,
and several Paducah people, who are
related to him would be members of
the royal family"
That man is John c. Lewis, native
of Lyon county, and an ex-Confederate
soldier Mr. Lewis is now rated as
one of the wealthiest retail merchants
of Louisville, having large establish
ment on Fourth avenue in that city.
The line of descent from General
Washington to Mr.. Lewis is almost di-
rect The Father of His Country left
no children and had no full brothers
at his death, so the throne would have
gone to the eldest son of his only sist-
er, Bette Washington, who married
Fielding Lewis Their eldest son was
Fielding Lewis, who was born at Ken
more. February IA, 1851. He married
Ann Alexander, the daughter of Girard
Alexander, founder of Alexandria, Va,
and died at Fairfax, Va, July 5, 1903.
His oldest son was Charles Lewis,
who as born at Fairfax, November
Is, 1915. He was appointed lieuten-
ant in the United States navy by
his uncle, George Washington. and
saw service in the war with Great
Britain. 1872 to 1916. He married Ann
Dawson and died August g. 1929. His
Oldest son was George Washington
Lewis, who is still alive and resident
of Louisville His oldest Nephew is
John c. Lewis.
Thus it is seen that had General
Washington allowed his ambition to
overcome his patriotism the reigning
monarch of this country would have
been.
