SOMETHING NEW
FIRST BRICK HOUSE EVER BUILT
ON A FOUNDATION OF Pill
ING HERE.

Work has begun on new brick ware
house for Mr. Roy Mckinney at Second
and Washington streets, and in some
particulars it is the most unique under
taking in the building line seen in Pa
ducah in some time. The site was form
erly a hollow, and the soil is therefore
too soft TO permit the usual foundation
for the building.
As result instead Of laying a foun-
dation, pilng is being driven, and on this
piling the brick warehouse will be erect
ed. The piling used is thirty feet and
will be driven far into the earth. The
plans for the warehouse We're drawn by
Architect q. ID. Schmidt, who has charge
OF Capt. b. b. Davis Office.

Span of Life Is short.

The span of human life on earth Is
very short, yet like that of the leaf
God does not permit mans life, short
as II is, to end until his work has been
fully accomplished. The Bible tells
Us that mans earthly days are as
grass, as the flower of the field. so he
flourisheth. For the wind passeth over
1t and il is gone and the place thereof
shall know It no more" But. though
tie life of the grass or the leaf may be
short as that OF an insect. yet its ltfe IS
absolutely vital to this country. Once
destroy the vegetation OF a land and
you turn that land into 4 Sahara.
Leaves suck In the moisture, They are
reservoirs for water They decide
whether country IL to be fertile or
not. Once destroy the forest with its
leaves and the orchards with their
leaves and you change the whole at
mospheric condition OF the country, as
parts OF Spain and Portugal have been
robbed of all moisture by the destruc-
ton of the leaves Thus each genera
tons spiritual life is absolutely neces-
sary to be matured and developed for
the spiritual life OF tie generation
which is to follow. Your spiritual life
decides what IS TO be the spiritual life
Of your children and your children's
children.
Would that our spiritual life might
not only be saving gospel for our
selves, but also for those who are to
como after us. There is n beautiful
story told Of Ulysses, the most famous
Of all Homeric heroes, who won his
greatest victory when he overcame the
tiendish power of the sorceress by the
influence of a few leaves Gree lived
In beautiful palace upon certain is
land. There as beautiful enchant-
re-ss, surrounded by her maidens. she
welcomed the travellers who landed up
on her shores. She banqueted and fet-
ed them. At the end Of the feast,
however, she would arise. wave over
the assemblage her magic wand. and
her guests would be changed into re-
pulslve four footed beasts, who would
be driven by the attendant out to the
swine troughs. After Ulysses fellow
voyagers had been thus metamorphos'
cd the hero went to their rescue, In
his hand he held the fabulous herb
which was given to him by the god
IIermes. Never for an instant did he
let those leaves drop from his hand.
by their power he was able 10 break
the fatal spell of the destroyer and
make her beg for mercy and restore to
him his helpless and suffering compan-
ions.
