Breathitt's River Loop.

AS there is more or less interest lust
now in the town OF Jackson. Breathitt
County. Kentucky, let me mention one
fact In connection with the place which
may have been overlooked in the rush.

record when he throws a ball 115 yards

n ball seven miles down th1 stream.
then turn around and throw one seven
miles up the stream. Doesn't seem to
be possible, does 1t? Yet it Is, and |
have done it. Let mo explain: The
Kentucky River at this point runs
among the hills. which are steep and
rocky, and at Jackson it strikes the
hills opposite the town on the upper
side and bounds back, so to speak. in n
great loon around territory of bottom
land seven miles in circumference. CON-

The Giant sQuid.

One of the most remarkable rs well
as gigantic animals of the deep sea Is
the giant squid-a favorite tidbit of the
sperm whale. The size to which these
animals grow. their strength and their
hideous appearance places them on a
par with many Of the weird and gro.
tesque creatures of n past age. The
squid undoubtedly nttains length of
nearly If not over, 100 feet. and pieces
have been taken from the stomach of
whales which suggested animals far
beyond this in size.
No more hldeors creature can be i'm.
nglned. The body is barrel-shaped, the
tail like an arrow head. the eyes as
large as saucers, black and white. hyp.

CONCERNING HUMILITY.

Low in town yard, grassy paved
A humble dandelion grew.
Above her head tall lilacs waved,
Proud in their plumes of blue.
The dandelion's beaming face
Was upward turned, yet all in vain.
The llac's contemplated space
In naughty, cod disdain.
"Ah. WE'LL" the dandelion sighed,
Ear rather would lowly be
Than fr,'pt my blossoms high and wide
For ali the world to see"
Ard did gentle little child
Ignore the lilac's higher claim
And pluck the dandelion mild:
No, reader; not the same.
Nor did n wicked younester tear
The lilac bushes with his knife,
And leave the dandelion there
To lead the quiet life.
Humble the dandelion lay.
Yelling her face in verdant screens,
Until man came by that way
And dug her up for greens.
In ostentatious vanity
The lilacs evermore aspired.
Therein they showed their sanity
And got themselves admired.
And this. dear reader. goes to show
That men don't gain thro' being swabs
We mustn't bold ourselves too low
Ii we should hold our Jobs.

RECORDERS NEEDS.
Estimate Made for Appropriation OF
$4,000 for Metal Shelving.

The recorder of deeds has forwarded to
the Commissioners for transmission to Con-
gress an estimate of $1,000 for metal shelly
ing. book cases and racks in his office at
the city hall. 1t Is proposed that the work
shall be done according to Specifications
prepared by the superintendent Of the
United States Capitol and under his super
vision. a contract to be awarded to the
lowest responsible bidders. In support Of
this estimate Recorder Dancy says:
1.-THE land records of the District Of Co.
lumbia running as far back as 1892 are
kept in the Office of the recorder of deeds
OF said District These records, as we'll as
those relating to personal property and in
corporations. are placed on open frame
shelves in rooms which cannot be said to be
.flreproof. They are. therefore not only
practically unprotected against destruction
by fire. but are also wholly unprotected
against other incidental destructive agen-
pies Upon their preservation depends the
title to real and personal property Of every
private owner in the District of Columbia
but also the title of the United States and
OF said District to property located here
and the object of this proposed legislation
Is to give these records the same protection
given the testamentary records Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia IN the Office OF the regis
ter of wills of said District by the same
