Mr.Nat GOOdwinMade no Speech

He Talks O Little, However, and Says

HE HAS TWO NEW PLAYS

Mr.. Nat o. Goodwin, the eminent
comedian who was at the Kentucky
theater last night, is probably tie
only actor Of prominence who has
visited Paducah during the past sew
ersl years and escaped without having
to make . curtain speech. Mr.. Good
win may congratulate himself. Usual
ly Paducah audiences get hysterical
and applaud, shout, clap their hands,
and thunder with their feet until he
actor-often il is an actress-comes
before the curtain and makes speech.
Mr.. Goodwin, however. had a lucky
escape. They gave him many curtain
calls, but he made no speech. They
didn't insist, probably because Mr..
Goodwin's greatness, real or imagi-
nary, held them in awe. Others have
had to come out and say lot of nice
things and sometimes tell funny
story or two, but Mr.. Goodwin was
allowed to go free. 1t is certain, how
ever, that Mr.. Goodwin would will
ingly have made speech had he been
called on. In fact he had one ready,
but didn't have sufficient persuasion
to make it. He makes only the big
cities, as a rule. He came from Nash
vile to Psducah, and jumped from
Paducah to Louisville and goes to ST.
Louis from there.
While he was at the Palmer last
evening . reporter found him in an
agreeable mood. He was asked: "Are

How They Learn Spanish.

Tourists in Nagasaki, Japan, ara
often surprised to hear the sampan:
men and the rickshaw men in the
street shout Spanish words to white
passers-by; as, "hey, amigo" (hey,
friend), or ''hombre,'' a common ex.
clamation of attention, meaning
man." In the stores the statesmen
also use similar terms. as mo sabe,"
meaning don't know" etc.
The explanation is simple. The Japs
themselves do not know that they are
using Spanish words; they believe
them English slang. They have
learned them from American soldiers
homeward bound from the Philippines.
The Yankee boys, used to employing
Spanish phrases in speaking to Fill.
pinos, instinctively do the same with
the Japs, forgetting that their lam
guage is different.

WAY OF RUSSIAN OFFICIALS,
Remarkably Proficient in the Science
of "Grafting."

OF 0TdIIIn9.
A story which illustrates the
methods of Russian officials is told by
a traveller recently returned from the
Far East. In an important town in
Siberia there is a solitary member OF
the Anglo-Saxon race who has estab-
lished a successful business, despite
the restrictions imposed upon him.
Periodically, however, he is reminded
that he is there only on sufferance by
the receipt of a letter form the all
powerful governor, which reads some
thing like this: ''Dear Sir: It is
proposed to raise monument to the
beloved memory of the late emperor,
and knowing how deeply interested
you are in all that affects the peo-
pie among whom you live, have ven
.tured to put down your name for a
thousand rubles. Please remit the
amount as early as possible" At one
time the monument is to an emperor.
another time to a national poet, or a
historian or a general. Needless to
say, the proposals never get beyond
the committee stage-the governor
constituting the committee. The de-
mands are simply a polite form Of
blackmail, of which the merchant is
well aware, but they must be met,
otherwise he would not be allowed to
remain in the place.-Leslie's Weekly.

A New Ornament,

The piQuet is the name given to the
spruce little bunch of flowers or small
fruit which is somewhat stiff1y tied
up, to stand sentinel on the little
spring walking hats. The piquet is
usually placed to the left of front;
but as there are left-handed and right
handed people, so there are women or
girls to whom hat trimmings are most
becoming when poised at the right
side than on the left. In such a case
the piquet of lady's slippers, stocks
or foxgloves may be mentioned to
the right of the front, besides the
crown. The piquet stands erect and
is supposed to be something of an al
grette or pompon made of flowers,
instead of feathers.

When Onions Are Odorless.

How many times has every fiat
dweller entered his home only to cry
out in disgust because the odor of
the onion or the turnip or something
else has permeated the entire six or
seven rooms? -.
Lets stop having such things for
dinner" he suggests to his wife.
"Why it's notifying to invite friend
to dine when one knows this sort of
atmosphere is going to knock him
down as soon as he enters the door,"
AS a matter of fact, there is no need
for excluding the onion or the other
offending eatables. The simplest way
in the world to solve the difficulty is
this: Have the cook put into the
cooking vessel with your onions just
piece of stale bread about as big
as your fist. Somehow or other the
bread absorbs the odors, and you
don't know onions are on your menu
until you sit down at the table.
