As Poor as Jobs Turkey.

Mr.. Charles E. Sugg, of Hender-
son, wants to know the origin OF
the saying "As poor as Jobs tur-
key" A version of it that is at
least seventy.6ve years old is that
about 40 years before that in Vir-
GINA one Job Leavitt was pos.
sessed of a solitary turkey. Job
was a man who left everything on
his place to SHIFT tor itself. A party
of roysterers were camping on a
small stream near his house and
decided that they wanted a turkey
to replenish their llrder, as they
spent too much time drinking to
provide themselves with game
which was the object of the expe-
ditlon. When the turkey was sug-
gested, one OF the crowd suggested
that they steal Leavitt's solitary
fowl. Another, who knew Job and
his habits, proposed another roost
some distance away, and when
asked his reason for wanting the
Leavitt fowl spared, said; "Why,
10 rs turkey is so id poor that he
has to lean up against the coop to
gobble. The facility with which
smart or catchy sayings passed in
to proverbs in those days insured
the life OF this one, and it has been
current ever since.

The Democratic party Of Ken
lucky, IN convention assembled,
affirming it's faith in and adherence
to the great and fundamental Prin-
ciples of Democracy as expounded
by Jefferson. exempIified by Jack
son and ably defended by Bryan,
adopts the following resolutions;
We condemn the oppressive, up.
necessary and unjust system of
Federal taxation established and
maintained by Republicans, and
demand revision of existing tariff
laws in a conservative spirit Of
fairness and justice.
We condemn the appalling in
crease in the expenditure Of the
Federal government under Repub-
lican rule.
We condemn the fragrant en-
croachments of the President of the
United States on the constitutional
powers of Congress.
We condemn the colossal curse of
our country known as trusts, and
we demand ga change Of system
change of administration
change OF partes--that we may
have a change of measures and
men.
The scandals and corruptions in
the Postoffice Department and the
refusal of the Republicans to per-
nit any further investigation are
suggestive of hidden or concealed
corruption We are, therefore. in
favor of thorough Investigation Of
all the departments at Washington
in order that fraud and dishonesty
may be discovered and punished,
and a pure and honorable and
efficient administration of public
affairs secured.
We declare that the refusal of
the Governor of Indiana to surrend-
er on the requisition of the Cover
nor of Kentucky the persons Of
William S. Taylor and Charles
Finley, fugitives from justice,
charged with completely in the muir
der of Gov. William Goebel, is rep
rehensible, unprecedented and IL
legal, and deserves the severest
condemnation of all lovers of law
and justice 81
tbs with pride and pleasure that
we point to the splendid condition
of our Commonwealth under Demo
cratic rule. The State is free from
debt, and law and order every
where prevail. We, therefore, un-
qualifedly indorse the wise, patri-
otto and economical administration
of Gov. Beckham and our other
State officers, and we mark with
much satisfaction the striking con-
trast between their administration
of public affairs and that of w. S.
TAYLOR, which brought shame and
disgrace to the Common wealth.
We have confidence in the Demo
cracy, integrity and sagacity of the
delegates appointed by this con-
vention to the National Democratic
Convention at st. Louis, and they
are sent without instructions from
this convention, but they are re-
quired to vote as unit upon al!
questions coming before the Nation
al Convention.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has TO come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

A New Cereal

Chris Diehl is In receipt of a guam
tity of Moravian barley. sent by the
Philadelphia Insurance company. to be
distributed to farmers in different sec
lions. with the request that they plant
1t and report on the result. 1t is the
desire of the company to ascertain the
character Of the soil in which 1t thrives
best. Flo this eason the seed will be
given to people owning land of differ
ent deg ees of known fertility. 1t is
sad to be the best barley known for
brewing purposes and finds a ready
market at exceedingly high prices.
consequently it is to the interest Of
every farmer to give it a trial. es-
p~ecially as 1t is claimed that this cereal
is known to do well in such soil as we
have here.

The New Hygiene

There's a new-fangled science that
sets at defiance
All efforts to have N good of our
wealth.
In eating or drinking, in working or
thinking,
Whatever we do, it is bad for our
health.
We must not eat toffee; we must not
drink coffee;
In cocoa there's paresis, poison in
tea;
Disease germs just swarm In the room
hat we're warm in,
And d. ats of COLD air mean a grave
d gger's fee.
There's nothing that's healthful, there's
nothing that's clean,
If we heed all the rules of the new
hygiene.
Raw food is pernicious; If cooked, not
nutritious;
Fruit makes us too bilious. and sugar
too fat;
Vegetarian diet runs down those who
try 1t,
And meats only fit to be thrown to
the cat.
If we we fly it we spoil it; it's deadly
to boil it,
And nothing should ever be roasted
Of stewed;
All canned stuff's infected: fish must
be rejected,
And all b eakfast foods with susp!-
cion be viewed.
It's a safe proposition that man will
grow lean
If he eats by the rules of the new
hygiene!
One tells us tbs risky to drink any
whisky;
Another. teetotal regime will deride:
Wine causes hysteria. milk's full of
bacteria:
OF lager beer many a victim has
died.
The typhoid bacillus that's likely to
kill US
Is found in the water we draw from
the we'll;
While that from the river Is bad for
the liver,
And fouled are the springs that they
bottle ard sell.
If all this is true. it is plain to be seen
There is nought fit to drink in the new
hygiene.
In sports we grow colder. for golf has
it's shoulder,
Lawn tennis its elbow, and football
its knee;
While automobiling and all kinds of
wheeling
VIII give us the face that is fright
full to see.
We must not dress thickly - that
makes a man sickly;
We must not dress thinly-we may
catch the grip.
And-he. e's the most awful-a kiss is
unlawful.
Especially when it is pressed on the
lip.
Oh. few will our joys be in life. If we
mean
To aLide by the rules of the new hy-
giene,
