PLAIN AS LEMONS BALD HEAD.

Col. Lemon, OF the Maytield Messen-
ger, gets his wires crossed when he
tries to tell the county in which Hick-
man and Fulton are located Fulton is
in Fulton county, Colonel. Hickman is
the county seat Of Fulton county, and
Clinton is the county seat OF Hickman
county. A branch court at Fulton
would still be in Fulton county, and
Hickman would not be transferred to
Hickman county, and Clinton would
remain in Hickman county. While Full.
ton is in Fulton county, Hickman
county will not have Fulton in it, and il
Fulton county has two capitals neither
one will be in Hickman county, because
Clinton is the county seat Of Hickman
county. To illustrate-lf Senator Geo.
Hickman should visit Fulton and Sen
ator John Fulton should sojourn at
Hickman, Senator Fulton would have
his mail sent to Fulton at Hickman and
Senator Hickman would have his letters
sent to Fulton for Hickman. Having
made this perfectly plain, the Mayiield
editor will please tell US the age of Ann.
John Nc. Mclean in Paducah Reg
lister.

THE HOW AND WHY"

Somehow on Washing o n
birthday comes the recollection of
school days and the celebration
which always took place on this
memorable twenty second day of
February. How hundreds of lit
tie Threats we're almost bursting
oyer the singing of national songs
which thrilled the patriotism of
every American youth. The words
are almost forgotten now, and the
time is only recalled when brass
band comes ont on an early spring
day and plays the Star Spangled
Banner" for gathering crowds of
street urchins, but occasionally
there comes a dim recollection of
something teacher" told the chill
dren of how these songs were writ
ten or why they come to live The
story of how Mrs Kipling rescued
the "Recessional" from the waste
basket is we'll known and will al
ways be remembered with Kip
ling's masterpiece.
Some little stories of this kind
cling to each of the immort a
songs aud it is we'll for every pat
riotic American to have some Gu.
riosity concerning the details of
how and why some of them were
written.
In 179S, when England had Just
begun her long struggle wi h
France, and IN the United States
party spirit ran high; the "Presi-
dents March" was the popular air.
1t was about this time that Jos.
eph Hopkinson. a Philadelphia
lawyer, was asked to write a song
for friend who was a singer SO
the words of Hail Columbia"
were written and set to the music
of the Presidents March, mere
ly to oblige friend, with little
idea of the great success and ma
tional fame it was to bring the au-
thor.
Another song written for the
atrical benefit was columbia the
Gem of the Ocean"
One Saturday night, in the ear
ly days of negro minstrelsy, the
proprietor of theatre on lower
Broadway. New York, called to
one of his men, Virginian, and
told him to compose something
for the performance on Monday
night. Sunday was rainy, gloo-
my day. The young Virginian
was homesick. All day he kept
saying to himself, Il wish l were
down in Dixie" He repeated the
words so often to himself that
when night came Dixie Land"
had been written, and by the last
of the week was being sung or
whistled by every one in n Q W
York.
All are familiar with Francis
Scott Keys imprisonment on the
British warship during the bom-
bardment of Fort McHenry, Sept. |
1914; of the long anxious night of
waiting, of his great Joy of behol-
ding at the earlyfdawn the stars
and strips still triumphahtly wav-
ing over tho American Fort. So
the "Star Spangled Banner" was
composed in the midst of an ectu-
al battle, above the roar of the
ocean and booming of cannon. !

AS chief engineer Mr.. Berry has
been the designer of important pieces
Of engineering which have resulted in
the practical reconstruction of that
system in the mountainous country
One of the first achievements was the
construction of the great Sherman
tunnel. which Strengthened and also
shortened the main line considerably.
One entire side of Sherman hill was
blown out with dynamite and the de-
bris fell in such a manner as to fill
up a deep depression which could not
have been filed by the ordinary meth
DDS in many months.
Under Mr.. Berry's direction the
grades have been greatly decreased,
and the curves lessened in Wyoming
and much double tracking has been
done in both Wyoming and Nebraska.
The reconstruction of the Union Paci-
fc shops, which has made them as
complete and efficient as any in the
country, was under his direction super
