An Australian millionaire, Mr. James
Tyson. left behind him when he died
fortune of 100000. One of the
many stories concerning him tells how
on one occasion he was a passenger
on Queensland coasting steamer. AS
usual. when travelling he declined to
undress at night and lay in his bunk
fully clothed, boots and all. He had
taken thither with him, moreover,
three loaves of bread upon which to
subsist for forty-eight hours in order
to save the expense of meals. The stew
ards complained to the purser of the
crumbs which the millionaire's meth
DDS caused in the cabin. But nothing
would induce Tyson to eat his loaves
elsewhere than In his bunk. Great was
his rage when at the end of the voyage
he was charged not only full rate, but
one-fourth extra for having taken his
meals in his cabin"

We had splendid day at Hardins-

money on subscription. Men came to

1t makes us feel good. 1t doubles our
ambition to make the News an inter

every household in this county. We
thank the men and the women, too,
for one good women cent US 50 on old

kindly. Bnt there are yet others who
failed to do likewise. They forgot it,

they owed him. Probably theythought
that he didn't need the money, he
had plenty, is making 1t hand over

just as well. This is true In meas
ure. The editor is making money,
making a living, paying his way, but
it takes lots of money TO do this
He's got tn collect many a dollar
to meet expenses before there is any
thing left for him. Ard If he fails on
a few you see 1T throws him just
that far behind. So, you see, dear sub
scriber, the editor has to hustle. He
has to collect what is due him to
make both ends meet, The editor is
not psuper, he's not begger, eitn-
er he's a worker and a hard worker
at that. He don't spend a minute of
idle time, he earns every dollar ne
gets, he gives something in return for
1t, too He's entitled to 1t, just the
same as any other man who works for
an honest living. We make this heart

them know just how we stand and
feel and how important it is to pay
attentionto the matter of your subscri-
ption. Get in the habit of paying you
subscription promptly. You'll feel bet

Self respect is at the bottom of all
our love of life. Lessen our self re-
spect and man is willing to throw his
life away in debauchery and the worst
kind of dissolute living. Self respect
is the bond that holds all his powers
together that makes him able to act,
to bear, to endure. Now, nothing but
ceaseless striving for conduct, for mo-
rality, for principle, can give you self
respect. Every man who deliberately
does wrong and does not strive to put
it beneath his foot as he would an as
sassin seeking to take his life loses self
respect, and his power will pass away
little by little.

Coal Mans Chief Worker.

Coal has become mans chief worker,
and horse labor and human manual
labor are slowly being pushed aside.
In the great transformation it has
been brain power that has triumphed
over brute strength. Man first sought
to shift his burden to the backs OF
the beasts of the field, and the horse
became his patient friend and assist
ant, but now he seeks to harness the
elemental forces of nature to do his
bidding. The burden is thus lightened
without cruelty to any living creature.
Neither man nor beast has had his la
bors increased, but steadily decreased.

Postmaster General Payne, who
died last week at the age of sixty,
spent his boyhood days in a small
village, Shelburne, Mass, where he
received a common school education
and later an academic educati on. He
was an unusually bright boy, studlous
and a hard worker. The first job
he had was sweeping out the village
postoffice at 81 a week. He was there
bright and early every morning,
would sweep and dust and do such
errands as he had time for out side
Of his school hours. From sweeping
the postoftice he got to be clerk and
a bookkeeper in a large retail dry
goods store, and finally partner. In
this business venture he failed and
lost everything he had. But he never
gave mp. After his failure he went
into the insurance business and made
money. While In this business he
got into politics and soon became
leader. His great success in politics
was in his ability to handle and
organize men. He was soon recogni-
zed by his party. In 1875 Presiden {
Grant made him postmaster at Mil
YANKEE. He held this Office for twelve
years. President Mckinley appointed
him Postmaster General in 1902.

at prices ranging from 500 to
$3.50. Pemberton Bros, of
Elizabethtown, KY, were also
there and bought six head of har-
ness horses from Vic at 1925 to
$3.50. Buyers from all over the
country are coming to this county
more freely than they ever did be-
fore, and it is all due to the Rob
ertson Bros. They make the
market. They attract buyers from
a distance and they are doing good
work for the farmers of this
county. Farmers are beginning to
lind out that it is good stock that
sells and that it pays to raise good
stock. They know also that if
they have a good horse they know
just where to go to find a buyer.
This all makes trade. 1t not only
makes trade but it brings pros
perity. 1t livens up things. 1t
keeps people moving. 1t creates
competition. 1t inspires men to
better things. They look up in
stead of down and behind. 1t
knocks the kicker and the croaker
out. 1t keeps money moving and
circulating. And when money
circulates freely times are good.
And good times are good for
everybody, the rich and the poor.

Horace Snyder's colt show was
the attraction at Bewleyville last
Saturday. The crowd wasn't as

Colt shows are always interesting.

children. a good colt is just as
dear to the household and as much
thought of nearly as a member of
the household. And there is moth
ing prettier than young, frolick-

colt. They are a thing of beauty
and a Joy to the household. In
the ring were six or eight fine,
trim slick fellows, the get of Jim
Guthrie. The blue ribbon in the
hands of Miss Gala Brown was
tied on G. o. Bailey's colt, which
was considered by the judges the
best in the ring for all general
purposes. The premium was SO.
r. A. Wrather captured the second
premium and Miss Vista Lyons
with a smile and a graceful air
tied on the red ribbon. The sire,
Jim Guthrie, was driven into the
ring by Mr.. Snyder's little ten
year old son, who handled the
handsome steed in a way that |
showed that he knew what he was
there for and that he knew his
business. That boy will some day |
make his mark in the horse ring.

1t is calculated that the cost, in
Guiding the property in this Eastern
war; is two million dollars a day.
When we think of the suffering and
needy to whom all but little of this
worlds goods are denied, and who
might be clothed and fed and edu-
Gated with this amount, it at least
ought to make us pause and think.
Then when we think of the thou
sands and thousands of lives that
are being slaughtered, everyone of
them some mothers child, we think
a little deeper still, and echo the
words of Joaquin Miller: "ls 1T
worth while 2" Not that it is not
worth while to always defend the
right, but in this day and age of
supposed civilization, is so much
bloodshed necessary!
Let us bring our thoughts nearer
home. Who has not seen, no matter
how small the community In which
he lives, men or women who are so
in love with themselves, admire their
own attainments to such an extent,
that they wish to be the prominent
figure at every meeting, in every
public work or demonstration OF any
kind? In fact, will not take hold
of any good work unless they are
leaders. I am sure you have seen just
such. I have. They are pretty well
scattered all over our loved Amerl-
