The GOOD OLD CLOCK.
IT'S Mellow, Friendly Tick an ANTI
dote For Lonesomeness.

Give me the clock for company,
said the obseryant man, land you may
have all the balance of the inanimate
things under the sun, or over 1t, ana 4
will throw n few of the animals in for
good measure. l can conceive OF noth-
ing more friendly, more unspeakabiy
comforting, than the mellow tick of the
old family clock which towers high ON
The old fashioned mantel, above the
good old open faced fireplace where the
embers are dying down and deepening
into blush melancholy gray late OF
winter nights. One never feels quite
alone as long as one may hear the mel
low tick tack of the old family clock,
the same sweet mellow eadences which
have rung in ones ear from earliest
infancy, through all the changes ana
upheavals Of time, down to the present.
Other sounds may fall and deepen INTO
the sadder silence Of the nights heavy
stiffness, but the old clock continues to
mark the flight of time, and no second
may escape without hearing its passing
called out dreamily by the faithful
clock whose hands have measured al
ready SO many days-some bright ana
full of light and life and promise and
sweet holdings of the future and others
echoing back sepulchrally from the
years already counted. All, the clock!
But give me the clock with its ticking
all through the night, and its silvery
Ginning on the hour, and you may have
the other things, and the dog to boot.
I'll take the clock in mine every time
when it comes to keeping off that feel
ing of lonesomeness which creeps upon
us now and then" - New Orleans
Times Democrat.

ARR OF CONVERSATION.
II Should BE Fostered and studied
with Seriousness.

WITH Seriousness.
Caroline Hazard in her Education
of Women" says, "How few of us
study to put things persuasively, to
reach a proper climax, to retire grace
fully from a subject" 1t is a common
saying that the art of conversation has
disappeared from among us, and yet 1t
is an art held in honor by all men.
Telegraphic speech has taken the place
of the more careful and elaborate
forms of conference. But 1t is an art
which should be presented to all young
people and which they should study
with seriousness and attention. Moth
ing really inspires, nothing really ere
ates enthusiasm but the perception of
an ultimate ideal, whether 1t be IL art
or music or in any other of the realms
of spiritual thought. This idefi Of
beauty has to come TO the aid of every
form of expression, lifting and raising
1t into its own kingdom. The student
who has even begun on such a course
of training, who can see beauty in ey-
erything In the created world and In
the realm of thought, has certainly be-
gun to be beautiful in himself. For
beauty most truly passes into the per
son who studies the beautiful. No one
can give out what he does not have to
give. He must first absorb beauty at
the great natural reservoirs and foun-
tains of the beautiful before he himself
can become truly beautiful in life and
character and so able TO transmit beau
ty to all around him.

Poet Riley ON His Native Heath.

POet hiiey ON Ills Nhtise hthths
Several years ago James Whitcomb
Riley returned to his native town,
Greenfield, Ind, for the purpose of Civ
ing reading, the proceeds Of which
were for some charitable purpose. 1t
had been many years since he had Wis
tied the old town, and as the affair had
been well advertised people poured in
from all sections Of the county. Riley
arrived on an evening train. The 'old
band was at the station to meet him.
The poet was put in low necked car
riage with reception committee, and,
headed by the band, procession was
formed of citizens, and they paraded
the business streets. A very old man
leaned up against the Gymond House,
hotel of Riley's day, and as the car
riage passed he squinted one eye and
out of the opposite corner of his mouth
said, 1--WE seen the time in this here
burg when they would have got a
brass band to git Jimmie Riley out of
town. Leader.

GIRLS SECRET.

rAunt Cassie came TO visit US and she
saw | was nervous had the fdgets all the
time, and she asked me many questions,
and finally said, Why, you dear, sweet girl,
it's not your temper that's bad, it's your
constitution that's out of killer. You sit
right down now and write letter to DR..
Pierce at Buffalo, N. Y, tell him all your
symptoms and so | did. 1t wasn't long
before l had long reply, carefully going
over my case and telling me just what to
do. I date my present happiness and little
Cupid's return to the very day sat down
to write that letter to DR.. Pierce, for his
advice was SO good and his Favorite Pre-
scription worked such a complete change
in me that now my former cheerfulness
and good health-not to say anything OF
good looks-are restored to me. | have
summoned Tom back to my side and we
are to be married in June"
The proprietors and makers of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in Offering 10 pay $500 for
any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling Of the Womb, which
they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure
1t is natural that woman who has been
cured of womanly disease by "Favorite
Prescription should believe that 1t will
cure others. 1t is natural too that she
should recommend to other women the
medicine which has cured her. 1t is
such commentator which has made the
name of DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
ton household word for the past thirty
eight years.

Latest Developments in Lyle Case

Mrs. Vimont Lyle, whose recent es
capade in Lexington has created sucf
widespread attention, returned to Dan.
vile, Wednesday evening at s o'clock anc
was Immediately driven to the residence oi
her father, Mr.. W. B. Holmes, where she
remained over night. She was accompa-
MED by her husbands cousin, Frank P.
kenney, and her attorney, S. S. Yantis,
of Lexington.
Her father, feeling that it was unsafe to
live in the house with her, on account of
the condition of her mind, applied to the
Boyle County Court for writ for lunacy,
which was issued by County Judge R. S.
Nichols. Mrs. Lyle, who had been sum-
moned to court, failed to appear. The
Sheriff and Chief of Police had just secur-
ed carriage and intended to force her to
come to the court house, when they were
notified by the attorneys that it had been
decided to postpone the case until next
Monday, when it is reported Mr.. Lyle will
arrive from New York.
While Mrs. Lyle belongs to one of the
best and most aristocratic families in Dam
vile and is an exceedingly handsome
woman, little credence is given to the re-
ports sent out from Lexington, which
would indicate that there is a doubt as to
her insanity. For months her queer
actions have been the talk of Danville,
and there are few, if any, in that city who
do not believe that hers is a genuine case
OF lunacy. Not long since, while Centre
College carnival was in full blast on the
college campus, she became offended at
her father for some trivial reason and at
tempted to give him a public horse
whipping.

here of the marriage of Miss Matte Belle
Pugh to Mr.. Victor Howard, which was
solemnized last Sunday in Pawnee, Okla

lucky kinsmen and friends who knew that
the two young people were engaged in

renewal of the romance. Mr.. Howard
was formerly of Riddles Mills, this
county, but for the last two years has
made his home at Pawhuska, Oklahoma,
where he is in business as a cattle ranch
man. He is the youngest brother of the
late John H. Howard, who died short
time ago and was brought back to be
buried in his old home at Paris just few
months before he was to have been mar
ried to Miss Margaret Pugh, sister of the
bride. Two weeks ago Miss Ida Red
mon, of this city, niece of Mr.. Howard,
with the Misses Pugh, left on visit to
her uncle's ranch, but did not know of the
plans for the marriage. Shortly after
their arrival the bride and Bridegroom,
with their attendants, Miss Margaret
Pugh and Mr.. K. H. Curtis, Miss Ida
RedE.on and Mr.. G. R. Carter, drove Ii

Sunday morning while Patrolman
Carson was making his rounds about
o'clock, he saw negro opening
the cash register at c. G. Brockway's
saloon on East Barraque street and
made an investigation which resute d
in the officers giving chase to the
negro and firing two shots at him,
both of which probably took effect.
The negro escaped, however.
When Mr.. Carson first saw the
negro he thought it was perhaps the
night bartender closing up business,
but second look told him that lt
vas Jim Cooper we'll known negro
tough and petty thief at the regis
ter. Then it was that Carson gave
chase. AS he went in the front door
Cooper made dash for the back
door. Carson fired one shot just be.
fore the negro opened the back door
and another just as he was going
through the door. Both bullets were
found in the door Cooper gave a
yell as though he had been hit, bnt
made good his escape through the
dark alley. A search was instituted
and all trains watched, but the man
has not been found. 1t is though
