SMALLPOX WIPED OUT.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS MADE
BY STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH OFFICER.

The Courier Journal of yesterday
quotes DR.. ]. N. Mccormack, of the
state board of health % saying:
Smallpox is now almost stamped
out in Kenucky. We still have few
cases in different sections, but 1t is not
at all epidemic. For the past five
years we have had more or less of that
disease all the time. There is still a
good deal of it in Indiana, and that
keeps us somewhat worried for fear il
may get into Kentucky again. 1t ia
of a peculiarly dangerous kind, too.
Smallpox does not die out with hot
weather, as is generally supposed II
is not so dangerous in the summer, as
it is not so contagious in an open house
as when person is exposed to it in a
room closed up tightly"

MISS PARHAM'S POEM.

The following clever verses written
by Miss Eugenia Parham of Mayheld,
who formerly resided in Padncah and
is well known here. appeared In the
Louisville Times. few days ago.
The poem is entitled the Hearts
Plea.
Let's quit this worry and care and
About the things we cannot get;
And these old ambitions, let's leave
them, too.
And laugh and love A. we used to do,
Before we had pledged our better self
To the raceless striving for place and
pelt.
Let's lay our vain pretentions by;
The worlds not fooled, nor you, nor
These "make-believes" OF fancied
show
Appease MS not our hearts must know
The voiceless longing and weary
stress
Behind the rubbish we call success.
What's wealth but a thing to cheat 81
last
The soul that enshrines and holds II
fast?
Whst gain in power to strut and
vaunt
Above our fellows All we want,
Or e'er shall want, from God and men,
IL just TO love and be loved again.

The Japs Good Spies.

The perSistency with which the Rus
slams are at present watching the Jap
anese is only equalled by the persis-
tency with which the Japanese are
watching the Russians.
With regard to unobstrusive but sue
cessful spying, the Japanese enjoy a
tremendous advantage over the Rus
SLAMS for this reason, among others,
that Japanese officials as rule look
very Insignificant and seem to be in
their right place when they. have
donned the habiliments of a. barber or
coolie, while Russian. spy who is
worth his salt can easily be detected
Some of the best work done by Jap
anese spies has been done by pretend
ed converts to the Greek Church.
These converts are always to be
found porting over their Japanese BIZ
bles, the margins Of which were COW
cred with annotations in some form
or other Of Japanese script. Their pie
fy and diligence were much admired
by the local Pope, until Russian who
could read Japanese. and who did not
believe in converts came along and dis
covered that the marginal notes in one
Of these Bibles were all important

Brass Signs Are Expensive.

Every man who goes into business
likes to hang out a big brass sign if
he can. 1t is not until he begins to
make inquiries that he finds out how
expensive they are. Then. In a great
many instances. he decides to make a
start with a cheaper sign and buy a
brass one when trade justifies the ex-
penditure. But, according to the OBJ

a business man who once wants one is
never satisfied until he gets 1t. He Is
as impatient as boy for his first pair
of skates.
According to the same authority New
York merchants below Fourteenth
street have upward of $1.000000 in
vested in brass signs. A very small
one. with border and black lettering,
costs $25. These are used mostly for
doors. 1t costs 500 to make any show

low plate glass windows, such as bring

UNHAPPY MACEDONIA.
Some Interesting Facts About the Tur
Ridden Land.

Some Interesting Facts About the Turk
Ridden Land.
No country is more in the public eye
and sympathy than Macedonia. In
interesting explanation Of the trouble
there is made in the Worlds Work, by
Louise Parker Richards who, among
other things, writes: There are no
census reports in Turkey, and if there
were they would not be reliable. A
mans nationality" in Macedonia has
little to do with his birth or his pa
rents, but everything with his church.
If one says that he is Bulgarian, but
that his brother is Greek, he means
that they are Of different nations-as
he regards it; and it is ones religion
rather than the profession of ones re-
ligion-that is the distinguishing
stamp, as elsewhere in the East If
you ask. man his nationality, he in
variably tells you his religion. A
Greek. Bulgarian. an Armenian, is
only Greek, Bulgarian, Armenian, so
long as he processes the religion of
his nation. By no amount Of strate-
gy will Greek. or an Armenian, who
has become a Catholic, ever be be-
trayed into calling himself Greek or
an Armenian! The unfailing answer
to the question of his nationality is.
81 am Catholic"
1t is perhaps safe to say that Of the
100000 inhabitants Of the country,
one-third are Turks. little less than
half are Bulgarian, and the rest are
Of other "nationalities.''
