Little Lost Pup.

He was lost.-not a shade of n doubt OF
that;
For he never barked at a Sinking cat.
But stood I'm the square where the wind
blew raw
With a d. coping ear and a trembling paw
And a mournfu look I'm his pleading eye
And a plaintive sniff at the passerby
That begged as plain as "A tongue could
sue.
80, mister, please may I follow you?"
A lorn We waif OF tawny brown
Adrift I'm the roar of a Needless town
O. the saddest of sights I'm a world OF sin
Is a little lost pup with his tail tucked In!
Well. he won my heart Cfof set great
store
On my own red Bute-who is here no
more)-
So whistled clear. and he trotted up.
And who so glad as that small lost pup?
Now ne shares my board. and he owns my
And ne fairly shouts when he hears my
tread.
Then. II things go wrong, as they some
times do,
He asserts his right to assuage my woes
With a warm red tongue and nice. cold
And a silky head on my arm or knee
And a paw as soft as paw can be-
When We rove the woods for a league
about
For he romps and frisks like three
months colt,
And he runs me down like thunderbolt,
.. the blithest OF sights In the world so
fair
Is a gay little pup with his tail In air!

PRIDE IN THEIR HOUsEWORk.
American Women Pre.Eminent In

A favorite fling of the French at the

English woman has now called Ameri-

ing recent visit to this country she
was struck by the fact that so many
American women of means and re-
finement either "do their own work"
or actively superintend the domestic
arrangements, taking pride in this
duty.
Our friend was surprised to learn
that IAN American woman will spend
the forenoon in cooking or busting, or
cleaning, then dress herself like a
duchess and sally forth to the meeting
of a fashionable club where she Is to

Why Hen Turns Eggs ever.

"Tn the country last summer" said
q young city man. Il saw setting
hen rise woarily from her eggs one al

them.
"'What made the hen do that? I
said to the milkmaid beside me.
"'Bless you, sir, all setting hens do
so. They do so every day. said the
milkmaid. Every afternoon at about
this time they turn their eggs. Thus
the eggs get the same treatment all
around. One part isn't overwarmed
and another part overchilled. Tho
temperature inside is kept uniform.
"If hens didn't turn their eggs

ANY SUPERVISORS?
Question Whether or Not the
City Has Any Board Now.
On e Member Died and Two Others are
Holding Municipal Office.

There is question whether or not
the city of Paducah has board Of
supervisors. Under the new charter
the supervisors are appointed for foul
years, instead Of every year, as for.
merly.
Last year the supervisors were
Messrs. L. W. Boswell, Alonzo Elliott
and John V Grief. Mr.. Boswell has
since died, and it is the intention OF
the other two supervisors to hold q
meeting Tuesday next TO take up all
matters referred TO the board by the
general council
Mr.. Elliott is now street inspector
and Mr.. Greif a member of tho Boaro
of Education, both municipal offices.
If Mr.. Elliott is allowed to serve he
will be drawing two salaries from the
city. Mr.. Grief draws no salary from
the city as school trustee, but il is
claimed that the two offices are inoom
patible, as no official can hold two
offices a. the same time.
The question will probably have to
be settled before Tuesday.
The regular time for the supervisors
to meet and equslize the city assess
ments is January. The meeting mex
week is only for the purpose of taking
up matters referred to the board by
the council.
Mayor Yeiser stated this morning
that Mr.. J. Y. Grief would not be a
member of the board Of education
when the regular time for supervising
the city tax list came around, as be
was defeated at the recent election
The Mayor also stated that Mr.. Alonzo
Elliott is simply . hired man Of the
city, and eligible to hold the Office of
supervisor, although many 9th rs do
not agree with him.
In regard to appointing a man TO
I'll the place Of Mr.. Lloyd Boswell,
deceased, one of the city supervisors,
Mayor Yeiser stated that he would APP
point in December and had several |
good men in view. He intimated that
Mr.. Mike johnson could be appointed
