roo MUCH .Rnsr CURE. .

The 'trest cure'' has been worked to death, good many sensible people think. There are high medical author ities who maintain that work cure'' is what modern conditions call for much more than rest cure, more espe- cial1y among well to do people. The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal thinks it about time for systeinatized method of treatment which shall have work. either physical or mental, as it's fundamental principle" for it says that "overwork, as the term is popu- larly employed, means almost nothing. It is the rarest possible experience to come in contact with a person who is really suffering from overwork as such"
 The men and women who have oc. cupations-a good job that they take satisfaction in doing well-often do not realize that their work is physi. cal, mental and moral salvation.-New York Tribune.

the superintendent:o of the village, why have you put those ridiculous clothes on Singwa. Don't you know it takes away all his attractiveness?"
 "Yes," replied the -shrewd manager, "and that's just what want to do. That boy would be pestered to death if didn't give him rest once in a while. In his natural state he is entirely too popular for comfort"
 Singwa is now an attendant at the Model Filipino school, which holds daily sessions on the Philippine exposition grounds, but long before the school opened he had picked up more English than any of the natives in the village. It is not that Singwa can greet the vis- itor in English and take pencil and draw all sorts of caricatures on the vis- itor's card, but the way he does it that creates astonishment. 1t is the sly cunning with which he invariably does the unexpected and asks the visitor his own age and name after telling all about Singwa His first passion was drawing, and when he had learned the alphabet in the model school, his next was writing his age, name and tribe on the type writer. Being a suyoc he does not eat dog, while the much advertised Bontoc in the same village do. If visitor asks Singwa if he eats dog, in great disgust he points the finger of scorn at the in quisitor and replies: NO, Singwa Suyoc no eat dog. You eat dog"
 Singwa draws some remarkable pic lures of chickens, wild hogs, and differ ent types of visitors on the souvenir books sold in the Igorot village, and there Is always struggle to get the ones he has signed with his name. He has no pocket in his scanty trousers and so wanders up to the visitor and in cute tone that is never refused asks for a pencil" If the visitor he is picturing has glasses, a large hat or other dis tinguishing mark of attire, he puts 1t in the caricature and then laughing in high glee points to 1t and says, You, you. 2 Singwa is here without father or mother his parents trusting him to the care oi c. A. Petit, who brought the Suyoc Igorots to the fair.

HOTEL CLERK TALKS,
THE oUEEREsT THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HIM.
Adventure with a Related Guest Kept Man Behind the Counter Guess ing All Night and Part of
 Next Morning.

'The queerest thing that ever hap lpened to me-" said the hotel clerk to g New York Sun correspondent, "came of when was on the night desk of a small hotel in Connecticut town.
 Tt was second-rate establishment lfreQuented mostly by drummers, ant the situation was rather lonely at night There were stores all about, and the. closed early, so that after ten No'cloc. ours was the only place on the bloc open. For that reason, I kept a re- volver in the money drawer.
 "One night about half-past Il pleas ant-spoken, well-dressed young fellow came in and asked for room. We talked for a few minutes, then I told him as tactfully as could that as he didn't have any baggage he would have to pay h advance.
 "tAll right he said. Take it out ot that He handed me a ten-dollar bill,
 sI pulled out the money drawer to change it. There was my revolver in plain sight, and another one with it, The second gun had been left in his room by departing guest, and I'd tucked it into the drawer with mine for want of a better place to put it.

HANDBAG MATCHES GOWN.
Pretty Adjunct to the Autumn Cos tune That Is Just Now
 in Evidence.

One of the necessities of the up-to- date girl is her wrist bag with natty little purse to match, says fashion au- thority.
 The autumn styles in handbags give faint promise of the return of the chate- laine, although there is no decided move- ment in that direction so early in the season. A tendency to flatness is the most marked feature of the modist purses and bags, introduced first in the dat-iron bag and little later in the envelope bag and purse. The for- mer has two handles, which are like the adjustable handles of 8 hat-iron, and hold the bag together at the top. The envelope bag is large leather en- velope, with little envelope purses tucked inside.
 Replacing the gaudy scarlets, greens, purples and royal blues of the summer are bags in the more subdued tints and in dull black, rather than in conspicu ous patent leather. A new and eff fective fad in wrist bags is to have them made to match the color of the vest worn with the all-fashionable di- rectoire coat. In putty-colored suede, in soft kids and feathers, in chamols color, and iI an odd shade of old rose, there is a bewildering array of self sewn bags and purses. Very little mounting is shown en the tailor-made bag, so that the severe effect may be carried out throughout.
 Contrasting with the large bag is the pretty little jeweled purse some girls 1, carry on their middle finger. It is of gold or silver, dependent from chain on gold ring, and is only large enough for change. The jewellers are showing these little purses insbxquisite designs and studded with precious gems.

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

Sanitary sewerage is a good thing, an,
every city needs il, none more than Pa
dueah. If a city has sanitary sewerage
however, il should be used, not by q
lew people, but by all in a sewer dis
trict Some people will always refuse
TO connect with the sewerage as long as
'hey are not compelled to, and unless
they are compelled to, it is sheer stu.
pidity to talk Of building $4,000 worth
OF sanitary sewerage more in localities
where the people are less likely to con.
meet with it than in the downtown sew
er district, where large percentage
have failed to connect with it.
If this additional sewerage is con.
str'eted at the expense Of the property
owners without requiring them to CON
meet with it, it will not only prevent the
community from obtaining the intended
advantage Of sanitary sewerage, but
will in addition place heavy burden on
the property owners.
Paducah should have sanitary sewer.

A GOOD .AUGURY.

There is slim encouragement for dem
ocrats in the election in Vermont, an,
while it does not decide the presidential
race, it is a straw which shows which
way the wind blows. The republican
majority in Vermont has varied from
.l4,l63 in 1890, to $4,000 in 1904, the lat.
ter being estimated.
Incidentally there exists absolutely nc
justification for the claim that there is
the remotest possibility of New York
going democratic in November. The
Bryan democrats are deserving Parker
by the wholesale, and in New York
where Parker's advisers and hackers are
best known, the democratic vote is likely
to fall far short of what it has been in
the past few years.
The republicans this year have even
made gains in Arkansas, several coun-
ties going republican that had never
gone republican before. The republican
outlook could not be better. The party
has the confidence of the people. and
President Roosevelt is today as certain
Of election as if the vote had been count
I'd and his election formally announced.

The republican party will soon, from
indications, settle the merchant marine
question. 1t will be settled in a way to
benefit the people, but not in way
pleasing to democrats. Our foreign com-
merce last year amounted TO s2,450 ,000-
600, and is growing. Only per cent. of
this business was carried on our own
vessels and under protection of our flag,
and the amount paid to the ships of
other nations for carrying it was $780,
100000. As Senator Fairbanks said in a
recent speech; This is certainly not
good business Judgment. II we can
build up a merchant marine we will in
crease opportunities for labor, stimula-
tion to enterprise and prosperity to the
American people. This is an important
question, and it rests with the republi.
can party to settle it,"

THE WAY TO ELECT PARKER

From the New York Press.)
The Democratic national committee
is Offering a reward, we understand Ia
any one who will name the best way To
carry the country for Parker. We claim
the reward with the following sugges.
ton; Get all the savings bank deposit.
prs Of the United States to vote for
him.
There are more than 7,O00,0O0 saw.
ings bank accounts in the country.
Whoever can get those depositors to
vote for him has ''cinch" on the elec.
ton. In the elections of 1896 and 1900
Nh. Parker voted TO Bryanize the saw.
ings OF those depositors-that is, TO
make every dollar on deposit worth
ifty-cent piece. The depositors them.
selves voted to keep 100 cents of value
in every dollar or their savings. and
they elected Mckinley and established
the gold standard so firmly that even
Mr. Parker now regards" il as being
an actual fact, though he has not told
Us what he believes about it as a
principle.
All that Mr.. Parker needs to do is
to induce those savings bank deposit
ors whose deposits he voted TO cut in
half, to give him their unanimous vote
and he will be as certain Of election as
was Mckinley.

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Friday.
COL. II. II. HOBSON.

The death of Col Herbert II. Hobsor
removes one of Paducah's Oldest and
most popular citizens, a man who had a
cheerful word for all, and believed in
making everybody as lighthearted and
happy IA he himself always felt. Col
Hobson dubbed over with good humor
and be bestowed his smiles and kindly
words in generous indiscrimination
wherever he went. A man who had ex-
perienced the ups and downs of life, the
sorrows and bereavements that sooner
or later come to all, his bouyant nature
bore up well to the end, and he was one
of those men whose loss inspires sincere
grief and regret. Col. Hobson belonged
to the "old school of gentlemen He
was simple and straightforward, and one
of his notices was to get as much hap
piness as possible out of life without
taking from the happiness of others.
He asked but little here below, and was
always willing TO share that little with
others. He was too generous to be
a wealthy man, but ''the colonel was
always as contented as if he were rich.
Men of Col. Hobson's happy nature
are becoming scarcer every day, and in
his death Paducah loses a good citizen.
a lovable, sympathetic, generous man,
and one of the few remaining members
of that good old school of gallant, cheer
full. generous manhood so hard to find
nowadays.
In the death of Col IIobson the com.
munity has sustained a great loss.
