She was a woman, worn and
thin, whom the world condemned
for single sin. They cast her out
of the kings highway, and passed
her by as they went to pray. He
was a man and more to blame, but
the world spared him a breath of
shame. Beneath his feet he saw
her lie, but he raised his head and
passed her by. They were the peo-
pie who went to pray at the temple
of God on the holy day. They
scorned the woman, forgsve the
man; twas ever thus since the
world began. Time passed on, and
the woman died; on Cross of
shame she was crucified. The
world was stern. and would not
yield, and they buried her in the
potter's field. The man died, too,
and they buried him in casket of
cloth with asilver brim, and said as
they turned from the grave away.

Tired of once.

Governor Savage, of Nebraska,
has troubles of his own, even in
the magnificently appointed CHAM
bers of the Executive Mansion of
Nebraska. 81 would rather stand
and look at a piglet squealing for
place at the trough" he said one
day, ethan sit in luxuriously APP
pointed Office and hear the chronic
Office seekers squealing for some
sort of snap. There is some
thing soothing and restful about a
barnyard. 1t is real pleasure to
lean against haystack and con-
verse with hired man who has
no axes to grind, whose highest
ambition is to borrow a chew of
tobacco. I take more pride in my
ability to guess the weight of fat
hog than 1 do in my capacity to
hold the helm of the ship of state"
That's just it. A man nearly
breaks his neck trying to get loose
from his farm. and after he has ac-
complished it and gets what the
world calls "way up" he is just
anxious to get back on the land
again. The contented man on a
good farm, with little money in
the bank. has this world beaten to
finish.-Minnesota journal.

MOVE
Scarcity Of Wood Forcing Many of
Them South.
Wagon Manufactures Must Locate
Where Hard Wood Is
Abundant
PADUCAH MAY PROFIT

Paducsh' may shortly secure one of
the many wagon manufactures that
contemplate moving south. Mr.. j.
X. Hemphill, southern agent for the
Mitchell and Lewis COMPANY Of Ra.
cine, Wis, is now in this section seek
ing a suitable location for their big
concern, and was at Memphis day or
two ago.
: He will probably visit number OF
cities in this section OF the country,
with view to finding one suits9a,
and Paducah would doubtleh love
an excellent location, as their every
kind of wood necessary. TO found
in abundance without gong V ~ far.
Mr.. Hemphill said to repurter in
outlining his mission; There is 8
strong possibility that our company
will open up branch factory in the
south, but no definite action has been
taken toward that end"
THE scarcity of hard wood in the
north has forced wagon manufacturing
companies to look f,vorably up on the
south as an industrial field. IL is true
that our company has investigated the
conditions, and the officers are fsyora-
bly, impressed with Memphis.
while Frank Mitchell. the seoreta-
ry Of the company, was attending the
recent wagon makers convention in
Memphis he spent considerable time
in asoertain:ng the resources Of the
territory adjacent to Memphis and the
transportation facilities of this city,
both Of which he found TO be excel
lent.
"But the problem of problems
among wagon manufacturer. said
Mr.. Hemphill, drifting into another
subject, "is where are we going 20
ktN HolAaI NOtA Aoh WhNoh pNAN1s
Heretofore wagon makers have used
nothing else Tor boxing, IS poplar con-
tains those qualities which 80 to the
formation of wagon boxes Poplar
wood Is scarce in the no-th and is be-
coming so very rapidly in the south.
1.-THE only alternative in the shape
of wood that has presented itself so
far is cottonwood. But the cotton
wood is very unsatisfactory, for 1t
can't be polished like the poplar, and
il warps out of shape. The only cot
tonwood eligible for wagon purposes
is found in Missouri. But ali in all
il is the best substitute for poplar.
However, many wagons makers are
not satisfied with cottonwood, 80 tina;
the solution of the problem is yet TO
be locked for. The question was dis
cussed at length in the recent conven-
tion, but nothing new was gained by
the comparison of ideas among the
manufacturers gathered here from all
parts OF the country"

Some Of the Members Puzzled to
Know How They Can Manage.
will Have Hardly Enough to Run the
Schools, With Many Improve
ments Necessary.
TRUSTEE wEILLE's NEW MOVE

Some Of the members of the board
of education say that with the maxi.
mum they are entitled to under the
charter, thirty-fve cents, they will
still probably not have enough money
to pay the running expenses of the
schools.
This leaves them practically moth
ing with which TO make necessary ex-
tensions Of the schools and building
improvements. II will cost about
$40, 900 to run the schools during the
term, and unless there is large in
crease in city assessment there will
be nothing left for extensions.
II is estimated that the annual sal
airy list alone is $50, and cannot
be made less. There is always more
or less wear and tear on the school
buildings which necessitste repairs
every summer, and with all the money
spent for current expenses, these i'm.
provements cannot be made except by
injurious economy or borrowing, the
latter being illegal although prachoed
in the past.
II is said that there is now not
enough room In some of the schools
for the pupils who attend, and not
enough teachers, which results in
some of the rooms containing more
than one room ought TO have. If
there were more money, additional
teachers could be employed, and no
teacher have more pupils than she
could capsbly h'ndle.
THE great trouble in Paducah, "
remarked trustee this morning, "has
been that she has built her school
houses with view to the immediate
demands, and given no thought to the
future. There should have been one
building on the south side OF eighteen
or twenty rooms, and another or the
north side Of about ~ many. The
rooms could have been finished rs
needed, and there always be enough
room. But small buildings have been
erected, AND they have to be rebuilt
and enlarged, or new buildings erected 4
in order to accommodate the annual
increases.
But these after thoughts do not do
us any good in coping with. present
difficulties. We have obstscldA to sur
mount, and we may have trouble in
getting along on the annual apportion-
ment of funds from tho city and
state"
IL is understood that an important
move will be started at the next reg
ular meeting of the board, which is
Tuesday next.
Trustee Ben weille, who has always
been one of the most progressive, ac-
tive members, will introduce a resolu-
ton asking the next legislature to en-
act compulsory education law, re-
quiring all children to attend school
until thirteen years Of age, at least.
Every school organization in the state
will be asked to iDdorse the move. and
such action would doubtless have a
powerful effect on the legislature. Il
is claimed that most crime can be
traced to ignorance, and that educs-
tion is a great barrier to it.
Trustee Weille will doubtless have
the cooperation of sll the schools OF
the state in his effort, and the result
will be credit to him.
