ONE THING HE REGRETTED.

lrishnan's Queer Comment on the
Death OF His Horse.
A fare was being ratified through a
Dublin suburb on a rickety jaunting
car drawn by a no less rickety horse.
Having proceeded home distance, the
horse, owing to apparent old age and
sheer exhaustion, fell, never to rise
again. The fare was very profuse In
his sympathies towards the driver.
who, however, appeared to take the
whole thing very coolly, and ex-
planned:
ITS just like this with me, your
honor. don't regret the old brute
bit. He was bad from the start. But,
somehow or other. can't help think
ing Of the beautiful feed OF cats
gave him this morning"

AN UNLUCKY YEAR.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"If something terrible doesn't hap

of this year. I'm no true prophet, "
said the superstitious man. Fate
has written it down just as plain as

"In the first place, the year 1908
contains a mighty bad combination Of
figures. If you take them separately
and add them up you will find that
the result will be 10, no matter which
way you work it out.
"All right. You may laugh at me
as far as have gone, but wait until
produce some more facts. In the yeai
1908 there are three days in which th'
thirteenth of the month falls on Fri
day. The first was Februa 10, tn,

Some public officers in Paducah
have few things yet to learn. One
is that public records are public pro-
perty, and cannot be legally withheld
from the public. Public officials have
no right, for instance, to deny TO
newspapers information regarding &C.
lions brought in a court, simply to
please lawyer who has promised to
keep it ont of the papers" Lawyers
get paid to bring suits and newspapers
to publish them along with the other
news, and lawyers who bring suits
should not expect to have them kept
out of the papers as long as there is nc
better reason than a desire to have
their client escape notoriety.
