FORT THOMAS ITEMS.

Jan. 26.-The many rumoTs that
the Third Infantry. stationed at this
post. would be sent to the Islands
this year, have been confirmed by the
Army and Navy Reslster. placing the
date at "some time in March" By
that time the regiment will be re-
cruited up to its full strength.
We expect to be sent to the Visayan
G CUP. Though the experience of
many from former service In the
Tropics has been often unpleasant,
yet nearly all are glad of the trip to
new scenes and adventures. Though
this is one of the best posts in the
United States and has many pleasant
surroundings new scenes are always
welcomed by 1.-the mutable many"
The period of foreign service is
usually about two years and home
service from two to four years. The
conditions OF duty In the Island are
much changed and all for the better.
They have never been as bad rs some
sensational sheets, In search for a
Democratic issue, wonld have us be.

Let us hope that the Third may not
get roasted, either by the Tropic sun
or by Democrats. Meanwhile, we are
having our usual rounds of duty and
pleasure.
Tomorrow night the Fort SHELL
ing Garrison" OF the Army and Navy
Union gives another monthly hop.
Tuesday evening will be our week
ly band concert.
We have half an hour OF drill each
morning during cold weather.
A five cent fare takes us to Cinciu-
natl or any of the surrounding towns.
But as Trilby says, "Life Is not all
beer and skittles, mores the pity"
and our money sometimes gives out.
But we hope to do our duty to Un-
Gle Sam with straight face, a strong
pulse, warm feet" and cool head.

They Want to Vote, so Badly.

Lexington, KY, Jan. 27.-The wo.
men of this city and county in a
special meeting under the joint aus
pieces of the Fayette County Equal
Rights association and the w. c T.
U, decided to petition congress for
the right to exercise the elective fran
chise In national affairs, and to ask
that the State confer upon them the
right to vote In all state elections.
A committee of three will visit
Frankfort and ask some member OF
the legislature to introduce a measure
In their behalf, and one of the Ken
lucky members of congress will be
appealed to for federal relief. Con-
gresham South Trimble has been en-
gagged.
Prior to 1902 the women OF this
city were accorded the right to vote
for the election of members OF the
state board OF education, but the gen.
eral assembly In that year repealed
the law, and this is an effort to coun-
terbalance that action.

How They Collect Bills.

The aboriginal debt collector liter
ally goes after his victim with a sharp
stick. Perhaps the phrase may have
originated from the manner In which
some Indians reslized on bills due
them. The Nushinau Indians of CAL
ifornia may have seen the disagreed.
BILE habit prevalent among the whites
OF sending bills. When one Indian
owes another it Is considered bad
taste for the creditor to dun the debt
or. He proceeds with more delicacy.
He procures a certain number of
sticks, according to the amount of
the debt and paints ring around the
end of each. These he carries and
losses into the debtors wigwam and
then goes away without a word.
The debtor invariably pays the debt
and destroys the sticks, as 1t Is oonsid-
cred reproach to have the January
dunning sticks thrown into the wig
wan. Indeed, the creditor never uses
them except with hard customers.

Howard and a com panion had an ex
perience last Saturday ii at they will
remember for several days. Howard
was driving a team hitched to a wag-

the road they saw sign of a mink.
Howard climbed down and calling the
dog, which had been following the
team, went to search tor the animal
He also carried a pitchfork for the
purpose of killing it. He soon dis
covered the mink in little hole and
ran pitchlork though it Carrying
it to the wagon aud thinking IL dead
he placed 1t on the ground, withdraw
ing the fork. The mink was not dead
BY any means and Immediately lit on
the dog. A battle royal ensued and
the contestants got under the horses
feet. This frightened them and they
began to run. Farther down the road
was a log wagon. This the team
struck. One of the horses was thrown
completely over it aud its neck brok-
en-. The other wss so badly cut up
that he will be unfit for use several
days. The hay was scattered ell over
the road.

crat says:
"If we are to have any hope OF success in
the coming Presidential election, the Demo-
cratic party must take up the questions that
confront us to-day. We must go into the
fight on live issues.
Perhaps Senator McCreary thinks
he has lain down a winning hypothe-
sis, but whoever heard of Demo-
cratic candidate taking up the ques-
tions that are in issue. Did you ever
know the Democratic party or its can
didate to discuss live issue or to en-
unciate principle for which it stands?
Their only issue and the one on which
they have gone before an intelligent
electorate for the past halt century
is Observation-Disclosures of the is
sues set forth by their opposing party.
The Solomon OF Kentucky Democracy
has overlooked or disregarded the
fact that he and his pals" pitched
and won the campaign IN Kentucky
last fall without an issue, dead or alive.
Why the recommended issues? He
further says:
With a strong, earnest and conservative

racy can redeem itself.

it would require candidate who Is

of The REPUBLICAN and we also have
the interest of our readers at heart to
that extent that we are ever ready to

the least possible cost, even if we
are at some expense ourselves
in SO doing. We are offering to our

American Farmer, one Of the beet

while at a small cost to ourselves, and
we are quite willing to give our Gus
toners the benefit of it, notwithstand-
ing the fact, we believe our readers
get their subscription moneys value
out of The REPUBLICAN. There are
newspapers, however,, whose grasp
ing avericious proprletors are lothe
to expend anything in addition to the
cost of their own publication for the
benefit of their readers and rebuke
others for so doing. We wish to con-
duct THE REPUBLICAN along pro-
gressive lines and in a manner to
meet the approval of our readers,
which we have no occasion to doubt
that we are doing.

When I was a little boy ages ago in the middle of another century, was at school under an old man who I do not think was very wise ar very good schoolmaster, as look back to it now. The joke we used to have against him was that he used to be constantly asking us what century of the world and what part of the world we should best like to live in. I have come to think in later years that his question was a wiser one than I used to think it then, because I earnestly believe that there are few things better cal- culated to make us arise alright to the thought of our own time and it's mean ing than the dwelling upon the prob lems the conditions the joys and sor- rows, the opportunities and the use made of them, of other centuries than our own.
 We used to have to answer them in those days Some Of them would say they would like to live in the four teenth century, in the days o6 war and chiyalry; others that they would like to live in the time of Elizabeth and so on. I am not sure that I was con- sistent in my view then, but am ab- solute1y sure of it now. The century should choose would be the twentieth century. and the place that I should choose would be with an English speaking race either on this side of the Atlantic or the other
