III Should Die Tonight.

Before they laid it in ITS resting place
And deem that death hath left It almost iairi
And. LAYING snow white flowers Against my hair
Would smooth 1t down with fearful tenderness
And fold my hands with lingering caress'
Poor hands, 50 empty and 50 cold tonight!
III should die tonight,
NV friends would call to mind, with loving
thought
some kindly deed the icy hands had wrought
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said;
Errands on which the willing feet had sped;
The memory of my selhsh ess and pride,
NV hasty words would all be put aside;
And so 1 should be loved and mourned tonight
III should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn &c more TO
me,
Recalling other days remorsefully;
The ewes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as Of yore, perchance,
And soften in the old, familiar way.
FOR who could war with dumb, unconscious
clay2
SO might rest, forgiven OF all tonight
Oh, friends, pray tonight
Keen not your kisses for my dead, cold brow;
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently of me; am trave-wor
NV faliering feet are pierced with many a
thorn.
Forgive, oh hearts estranged, forgive, | plead

The tenderness for which long tonight.

CURES CAFARRH
-'Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered"
Says W. S. Lloyd.

Do not try to cure catarrh by
taking drugs into the stomach; it
cannot he cured in that manner.
The only way in which this too
common disease can be cured is
through direct application that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes
this. 1t is the simplest, most
pleasant, and the only absolute cure
for catarrh that has ever been dis
covered.
Thousands of unsolicited testi-
monials have been received from
the most prominent men and women
in the country who have been cured
by this remarkable remedy. Min
listers, bankers, lawyers, even emf
nent physicians have given strong
testimonials as so the remarkable
powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 90, consisting of an inhaler,
AOpper and sufficient Hyomei to
Just ssveral weeks. This will effect
\ cure in ordinary cases, but for
-hronic and deep seated cases Of
catarrh. longer use may be neces-
sary, and then extra bottles of Hy-
omei can be obtained for Soc 1t
is not alone the best Git might be
called the only) method of curing
catarrh, but 1t is also the most eco
nomical.
w. S. Lloyd has so much conf
dence In the power of Hyomei TO
cure catarrh, that he will for linn
tied time, sell this medicine under
his personal guarantee to refund
the meney II the purchasers can say
that it did not help them.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE
70 Consider the Purchase of the
Mammoth Cave.

1t is understood that the next
Legislature will consider the pur--
chase of the Mammoth Cave prop
erty for tn state. 1t is one of the
worlds greatest wonders, and to
preserve it as such for all time from
the vandalism that would certainly
come to it in private hands, we
hope that this may be done. AT
the present time the accOmmoda-
tions are poor and inadequate and
all charges are exorbitant, and this
keeps away thousands OF tourists
who would be glad to visit this in
teresting natural curiosity. The
European countries make ii point
TO get control of places OF natural
or historic interest and make them
attractive and cheap Tor tourists,
and find that it is TO public inter
est to do this, aside from the duty
of keeping such places out of the
hands of grasping money getters.
Since the State of New York pun
chased the Niagara Falls the mum
Der OF visitors mas quadrupied aud
the expense to the slgnt-seer Is
merely nominal, while formerly
only the aflluent could pay the RIB
Der price while in private hands
We hope Governor Beckham Will
lend his influence 10 this movement,
and that the press throughout the
State will assure the tax payers
that the income from the hoiel
privileges, guides fees, ETC., Will
meet the annual charges on the sum
incurred for this purchase.-Dan-
vile Advocate.

is world wonder and it is true
that Kentucky could afford to
own and preserve it as nature has
given it.

THE GREAT WEST.
Marvellous Recent Growth of the
Trans-Mississippi Region.

Marvellous Recent Growth of the
Tran mississippi Region.
Since 1850 the farms which have
been opened between the Missis-
sippi and the Pacific are almost
equal to the entire land area of
the original IL states, and these
are increasing rapidly, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. They
will make further large increase
when the national irrigation act
of 1902 gets fairly into operation.
This region in 1900 produced 65.5
per cent. of the entire country's
wheat, Oil per cent. of its corn,
1872 per cent. of its barley, 81 per
cent. of its buckwheat, 4S.1 per
cent. of its oats and 3O.1 per cent.
of its rye, or 53.1 per cent. of the
cOuntry'scereals in the aggregate.
In 1850, on the other hand, this To-
cality produced only 9.6 per cent.
of the cOuntry's cereal yield. OF
the country's cattle, horses, mules,
sheep, swine and other farm ami
mails, 59.4 per cent. were found
west of the Mississippi in 1900, as
compared with 119 per cent. il
1850. This locality in 1900 pro-
duced 1916 per cent. of the coun-
try's gold and 99.S per cent. of its
silver.
While the center of the coun-
try's area, exclusive of Alaska and
the islands acquired in 1898, is in
northern Kansas, the center of the
cOuntry's population is in north
ern Indiana, and that of the coun-
try's manufactures is in Ohio.
Although this region had 27.5 per
cent. of the whole country's pop
ulation in 1900 and furnished, in
value, 43.2 per cent. of the coun-
try's farm products of all sorts
the products of its manufactures
NEARLY half of which was fur.
nished by Missouri, California
and Minnesota was only 16.1 per
cent. of that of the entire country.
But here, too, there has been an
immense advance, for in 1850 this
locality provided only $50 per cent.
of the cOuntry's manufacture
This relative gain is pulling the
manufacturing center westward.
This westward swing of the cen.
ter of population and manufac-
lures will be fastened by the
growth in railroads, only 794
miles of railroad, all in Louisiana,
being west Of the mississippi in
1850, and $1,000 of the country's
$4,000 miles being here in 1900,
the proportion in this section in
creasing from a quarter of 1 per
cent. OF the country's railway
mileage il 1856 toes5. q per cent. in
1900.

Dimes Saved.

An interesting story was told in
one of our dry goods stores here
this week. A gentleman came in
aad paid a small account all in
dimes and afterwards purchased
about SO worth of goods and also
paid for them in dime AS dimes
are very scarce the merchant asked
his customer where he got so many.
His reply was that he had sold a
load of hay to Mr.. w. r. Noe, the
veteran mail carrier between here
and Merrimack, and had received
the full amount, $40, in dimes.
Mr.. Noe says he was in the habit
of taking two drinks of whiskey a
day every day when he came to
Lebanon, but now he gives his wife
two dimes day and abstains from
drink. Since he commenced this
practice he has purchased horse
for 800 and paid for it in ten in
stallments, all in dimes, and after
paying for his hay in dimes
still has dimes left. If the above
practice were followed by all who
are addicted to the drink habit,
many home would be more com
Portable and many a heart would
be happier. County Record.

ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creatures Said to Exist in
Alaskan Waters.

miraly island, Alaska, last sum
mer, says writer, my attention
and the attention of my fishing
crew was almost daily attracted
to a large marine creature that
would appear in the main channel
of Seymour canal and our immedi-
ate vicinity. There are large num-
bers of whales of the species ror.
quail there, and the monster
seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in
schools, and while at the surface
to blow one would be singled out
and attacked by the fish, and n
battle was soon in order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals of
from two to three minutes each,
and then sound deep and stay be-
meath the surface for 30 or 40 min
utes. AS a whale would come to
the surface, there would appear
always at the whales right side
and just above where his head
would connect with the body, a
great, long tail or fin, Judged by.
five fishermen and a number of In
dams after seeing about Is times
at various distances" to be about
"a feet long, p feet wide at the
end, and tapering down to the wa
ter, when it seemed to be about
Is inches in diameter, looking very
much like the blade of the fan of
an old-fashioned Dutch windmill.
The great club was used on the
back of the unfortunate whale in
such manner that it was a won
der to me that every whale at
tackled was not instantly killed.
It's operator seemed to have per-
feet control of it's movements,
and would bend it back till the end
would touch the water forming a
horseshoe loop, then with a sweep
it would be Strengthened and
brought over and down on the
back of the whale with a whack
that could be heard for several
miles. If the whale was fortunate
enough to submerge his body be
fore the blows came, the spray
would fly to distance of 100 feet
from the effect of the strike mall
ing a report as loud as a yachts
signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable !
to me was that no matter which
way the attacked whale went, or
how fast (the usual speed is about
IA knots) that great club would
follow right along by its side and
deliver these tremendous blows
at intervals of about four or five
seconds. 1t would always get in
from three to five blows al each of |
the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself
of the enemy when it took its deep
sound, especially if the water was
40 fathoms or more deep. During
the day the attack was always off |
shore, but at night the whales
would be attacked in the BAY and !
within 400 yards OF the fishery.
81 do not know of any whales be-
ing killed, but there were several
that had great holes and sores on
their backs. Questioning the In
dams about it, / was told that
there was only one, that it had
been there for many years, and
that it once attacked an Indian
canoe and with one stroke of the
great club smashed the canoe
into splinters, killing and drown
ing several of its occupants.
