The addition of a boys dorml-
tory to the Sue Bennett Memorial
School at London, KY, has been
made possible by the gift Of ST.
10000. by the editor of "Our
Homes,D who is Mary Helm,
Louisville, Ky.
Other contributions from va
rious sources, comoined with this,
will furnish merely the building.
When completed there will be
"a bedrooms and 8 halls, thus ac
commodating 30 boys, who, with
out this help, will be condemned
to lives of ignorance.
Thirty $4,000 dollars will fur
nish room very plainly. Any
auxiliary or person furnishing a
room, can name it and put plate
bearing name on the door, which
will be a monument looming up
in the memory Of successive boys
who may occupy the room. Who
will be the first to claim this
honor and perpetuate their
name
The monumental stone,
To living hearts most dear,
Should rise by loving deeds.
Ere Deaths day draws near,
COMPLETION.
1t is hoped that the building
will be completed by December;
ready for the winter term. All
moneys should be in hand by
November.
Auxillaries or individuals con-
tributing the $4,000 necessary to
furnish room hall should raise
tie amount as soori as possible.

A Dramatic Episode.

Perhaps the most dramatic epi-
s0de in trial on record in this
country took place in Ohio sew
eral years ago. In an impromptu
duel one OF the participants was
killed by shot which entered
his back. The other was tried
for murder. Tie defense's con-
tentl0n was that the deceased had
shot himself &C cidently in trying
to- draw his pistol, which had
hung in the lining of his hip
pocket. The prosecution denied
that the wound could have so been
inflicted. In his speech to the jury
the defendant IS counsel tried to
show it was possible for such a
wound to be self inflicted in the
manner described, aud he awk-
wardly tried to draw his own
pistol in the way the dead man
was supposed to have done. Sud,
denly shot RI ing out in the court
room and the lawyer staggered
and fell dead He had demons.

course as the tjhe one in the other
case. The la wyer secured his

The Farmer Feeds Us All.

Ocean Springs Progress.
The writer several days ago
heard some up-to-da "doods''
make some disparaging remarks
concerning a farmer who was on
the streets, and whose pants were
not fresh from the tailor's press
and whose shoes we're of a differ !
ent pattern from those worn by
the critics. You poor,puffed up i'm
beetles! Do you know who the
farmer is? He is the man who
moves the world. If he were to
90 on strike and refused to raise
a crop for a single year, the effect
would be more disastrous than
would result If all the railroad
men, all the miners, and all the
trade unions combined were to
quit.

which justify me in supporting

give reasons that are not sound
and I do not intend to be party

tempted upon the voters. There
are enough good reasons why
Democrats should support the
ticket without resorting to argu-
ments that are questionable, and
without holding out promises
that will not be fulfilled

A Great Leader.

Judge Parkers telegram re-
vealed him to the people of this
country almost in an instant as a
great leader, the greatest in this
generation, and an honest man.
1t wafthe most impressive dis
play of thot virtue / have ever
known throughout my long exp
lence. He is a man of such in
domitabfe courage that he is will
ing to throw away, not merely the
hope of the prospect of a. nomi'
nation for the presidency. but an
actual nomination for this Office
rather than sto0p to evasion or
eqnivocation on matter of prin-
ciple. Irushed to st. Louis to
tell the convention that if it still
desired to hear from me that the
new platform Judge Parker has
made by his famous telegram
would sweep him into the White
House. He will be overwhelm-

A Place for the Old Man.

When we become old we want to get
off the streets. We always sympathize
with the old men who have nothing to
do; who are not wanted anywhere, and
who have no place to 60. When we be-
come old and useless we want place Of
our own to go to; place that is alb.
solutely our own, and which we can
manage as we please. We hope it will
be little place where we can potter
with fruits, and flowers, and vegetables
and chickens, and keep busy. We don't
want to give people opportunity to show
neglect, nor idle time in which to see
visions of the grim monster. Old men
who loiter about the streets, it always
seems to us, make mistake.-Atchison
