SCHOOL PUPILS WANT BOTH
TEAMS TO PLAY AT CAIRO.

From present indications the ath-
letic events between the Cairo and
Paducah school basket and football
teams will not come of, owing to the
backing out of the Cairo basketball
team.
Yesterday the Cairo school authori-
ties telegrapehd here thst the girls
basketball team had not prscticcd
sufficiently and would not enter the
contest. The local school teachers
did not want the football team to 60
down unless the basket ball game was
played also. and the probability is that
the events will be cancelled, although
an attempt is being made today to
have the Cairo team reconsider and
agree to play both games.
The local school pupils have taken a
great interest in the practice games
and are more than anxious to 60 down
and take . try at the Egyptians.

He Received.
DOES NOT FEAR RESULT

Mr. Lucian II. Davis, member Of the
Knights of Pythias committee here to
day Inspecting sites for the Widows and
Orphans Home, is one of those indicted
at IIopkinsville yesterday for alleged
graft"
Mr.. Davis this morning was disposed
to treat the matter lightly, and frankly
admitted TO a reporter that he did do the
work. and that he bid on it and was the
lowest bidder, and no one had ever ques-
toned his right TO take the contract.
lie said the indictments were the re-
suit Of spite work on the part of phys.
ician removed for cruelty to patients
In the asylum. lie said further:
"When ! heard of the indictment last
night, | called up the superintendent Of
the asylum and talked with him. lie
stated that the people were greatly in
censed at the action and that ] have
the sympathy of the entire community,
the people in lIopkinsyille understand
ing why the action was taken.
II did take the contract for doing the
stone foundation work, and also furnish
ing the stone for the entire wing work.
but this j. my business and ! have been
following the stone contracting business
for eight years. ! was the lowest bid
der on a legitimate job and gave bond
for the faithful performance of the
work. and when a mans legitimate bust
ness is assailed this way il is not very
pleasant, but still, have no fear of the
Indictment and because my position as
treasurer of the board, think will have
nothing TO do with the matter. OF course
| know Of no law that would make my
action in bidding on the work illegal.
IL this was the question. then why
shouldn't the matter have been brought
up before the awarding of the contract
Ii isn't pleasant TO be accused of graft
ing, especially man in business and
who has the confidence of the people"
Mr.. Davis is a young man Of pleasing
appearance and stands high throughout
the state. The contract Mr.. Davis Sc
cured amounted TO $1,000 and he states
il was much lower than any other bid
on the job.

POLLY'S FOURTH.
Even a Parrot Can Cry, "Hurrah for
George Washington.

Even a Parrot Can Cry, "Hurrah for
George Washington.
Polly was a middle-aged parrot
whose early days had been spent in
the green forests Of Yucatan in Central
America. l had long tried to teach
Polly to speak, and had taught her to
say d few short sentences. About
eight weeks before the Fourth Of July
I tried to teach Polly to say "Hurrah
for George Washington" But she
would not repeat it after me. Then l
thought it might be too long to say it
all at oHce-that she probably could
not remember it all, so I tried to teach
her to say it word for word. But no;
she wouldn't say word Of it.
Yet she listened attentively when
repeated it. Then got disguised and
gave it up till week or so before the
Fourth; then l tried to make her say
1t, but she would not listen to me now.
So when the morning of the Fourth
came l went out to Polly. She said,
Hello" I answered "Hello, Poll;
can't you say 'Hurrah for. George
Washington for me?" Then she be-
came furious and flew to the other side
of her cage and would not look at me,
SO l finished feeding her. I went into
my room and got my firecrackers,
went outside, and was shooting my
fireworks away when mother called to
come in for luncheon. After luncheon
l had to stay in the yard, so I went
and got Polly and hung her up on the
veranda, put up the hammock and
was reading St Nicholas, when along
the street comes the street band play
ing "Star-Spangled Banner"
Then all of sudden Polly becomes
restless and cries as loud as she can,
"Hurrah for George Washington
This is the story Of Polly's Fourth
st. Nicholas.

many curios picked UP by members OF

It has been in the possession Of the

has been fired on every Independence

when the Declaration Of Independence
was signed.
Every Fourth Of July since that
memorable day some member Of the
