Interesting Nomadic Bro Aas
Unique Superstition Attached
to Its Life

Ofall the strange creatures seen
by travellers not the least interest
ing is the wandering albatross.
This great feathered wanderer,
sometimes measuring II feet from
tip to tip of his wings, will follow
a ship for days at a time. Some
travellers and sailors declare that
they have seen a particular bird fly
for weeks at a time without rest
ing. The albatross has always
been a bird of mystery, and in an
cient times the people believed
that these unwearying seabirds
were the companions Of the Greek
warrior Diomedes, who were said
to have been changed into birds at
the death of their chief.
Though the superstition about
the killing Of an albatross bring
ing bad luck is only a foolish one,
it has served a useful purpose for
many years in preventing the
slaughter of these beautiful and
| gallant birds-the sailors friends
and the landsmen's wonder. Upin
dreary Kamtchatka, that outlying
part of Siberia which cuts into the
North Pacific, the natives, never
having heard Of the superstition
about the albatross, catch him anC

SPOT AMERICANS ABROAD.
Tourists from United States Can Be
Told by Hair and Boards, Says
One Who Knows.

"Abroad," said an Englishman.
II have no difficulty in telling
Americans. 1 tell the women by
their hair and the men by their
boards.
English women wear their hair
very much dressed, and about the
ears and the nape Of the neck il
falls in a strange way, like a wig.
An English woman's hair looks
really like wig, and it is intended,
more or less consciously, to look
so, for a certain royal lady wears
wigs altogether.
"Amerioen women's hair is
dressed simply. 1t is drawn from
the nape in a clean manner. Ii
negerseems to be artifciallycurled.
It never seems to be puffed out
with artificial wadding Of any
kind. tits just a soft, simple, pret.
ty mass Of hair, and it sufices to
distinguish the American woman
anywhere.
81 tell American men by their
smooth-shaven faces. An Eng.
lishman always wears a mustache,
and a continental wears either a
mustache or a beard. Thus, the
American, with his face as beard
less as a priests, is readily picked
out"

POLLY'S TONGUE
Wrecked ChicagoaD's Happy
Home.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 11.-"Polly
smith," a talkative parrot, is re-
sponsible for wrecking the domestic
happiness of her master, w, H.
Smith, and causing him not only to
get a divorce from his wife. but to
create a scene at Union station yes
terday, and be held under bonds to
keep the peace. For all this the bird
was made to spend last niS.'t at the
police station. but today she was
given into the possession of Smith.
Smiths troubles began when he
took the parrot home with him sew
eral months ago. His wife declared
that he thought more of II than he
lid of her. Smith says after a time
he parrot began to inquire for "Al."
Who "Al" was he did not know.
When he entered his home in the
evening the first thing Polly" would
say was: where's ALP"
"When learned that my wife had
been having visitors at the house
about whom | knew nothing, | APP
piled for a divorce" said Smith. On
December II he was granted a di-
yorce. A week ago the parrot disap-
peared. Yesterday afternoon he saw
his former wife, bird cage in hand
leaving union station with a man,
Who, Smith says, was the one to
e HON the parrot alluded when in
1uiring, "Where's Al?"
smith seized his parrot and ran
lowu the street. The man who was
rNllh me woman ran also, but in the
opposite direction. Mrs. Smith ran
auet her former husband, shouting
hat he had stolen her parrot. Smith,
lis divorced wife and the parrot
vent into the central police station
= warrant was sworn out by the
woman. chsging Smith with max
ing threats and disorderly conduct
smith today was placed under bonds
of $500 to keep the peace As soon
as he left the Harrison street police
court, he hurried to the city half and
secured possession Of the parrot,
You're a good bird, even II YOU

CAIRO READY TO
QUIT THB GAME
Will Not be in the Kitty League
without Changes.
Directors Of the Cairo Club Decline
60 Carry "Dead Weight" Any
Longer.
MEANS MUCH FOR LOCAL SPORT

The directors Of the Cairo Baseball
club held meeting last night, and
took action that will be OF the ut
most Importance in Kitty league cit
les, because It may mean the dissolu-
tion of the league.
Secretary Farnbaker today tele-
graphed The Sun as follows:
"The directors of the Cairo Base
ball club have decided to stand by
their original compact with Vim
cennes and Paducah. not to be a
member of the Kitty league with
Henderson. Hopkinsville and Clarks-
VILE. unless there is an amendment
to the constitution paying visiting
teams stated amount, instead OF
their choice OF so per cent of the
gate receipts. and that the guarantee
be placed at four hundred dollars
Cairo is perfectly willing to join
with Vincennes, Paducah and Owens
boro, making a four club league, or
with the addition of Marion, Ill, and
Princeton. Ind. in a league. and go
il under the present constitution, as
all the towns are good and there's a
chance to give and take.
"The decision is final and Cairo
has borne her share for two years,
carrying the dead weight Of Hender-
son. Hopkinsville and Clarksville'
and refuses absolutely to do IL long
er. preferring to raise six crops every
year on the ball yard"
The trouble now seems to be that
henderson, Hopkinsyille and Clarks-
VILE have three votes in the league.
and can successfully prevent any ef-
fort to amend the constitution as de-
sired by Cairo.
II the constitution is not amend
ed. Cairo will not be in the league.
II seems that Paducah. Cairo and
V-ncennes have not made the money
the patronage of the game in these
three cities entities them to, because
they had to divide up with the other
three clubs. instead of paying them
a stipulated amount, as Cairo now
wants to do.
When Paduoah Cairo or Vincennes
would go to these other towns to
play. the per cent was nothing like
those towns had taken out of Padu-
cab, Cairo or Vincennes, because the
Patronage there was not as large
Il seems that some difficult and
tactful work is ahead for the Pa
ducah meeting, II the league is to
remain intact.

JUDGE LIGHTPOOT
USES COMMON SENSE
In Deciding Tax Case Against
City of Paducah.
Says the Courts Have Decided Va
rious Ways hut He Relies On
Justice Wade's Decision.
AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN

County Judge X. T. Lightfoot yes
tcrday afternoon sustained the de-
murrer to the suits brought by Au-
ditors Agent Frank Lucas against
the city of Paducah. but the plaintiff
will Immediately appeal.
Judge Lightfoot based his decision
,n the common sense of the ques-
lion. The state supreme court has de-
tided in some cases that municipal
property can be taxed and specify
ing what could be, but Judge Light
foot says that all such decisions have
been reversed and that a recent deci-
sion of Chief Justice Wade, of the
United States supreme court. ex-
empted city wharfs from taxation.
81 look At the matter in a common
sense light" Judge Lightfoot ex-
planned "and do not think that the
law intended municipal property,
g hlch is used for governmental pur-
POSES. was intended for taxation,
even If the constitution is silent on
his point. Some courts have decided
that city property can be taxed, es-
pecially city property from which a
revenue Is deprived, but these deci-
sions have been reversed. II the city
ire departments are exempt then the
other property should be and if the
city property were taxed, II might
even be brought further and a tax
collected on the money the people
pay into the city fer taxes. Again It,
would be just as sensible for the
agent to attempt to collect taxes on
the cemetery When the state was
divided into counties, towns. ETC..
each subdivision became a part Of
the commonwealth and cities Ocan
make all laws for their seh-govern-
ment."
Attorney l.. X. Taylor, for the
plaintiff, admitted that the constitu-
ton exempts fire departments from
taxation but remains silent on other
matters. He also has some decisions
of the appellate court which he
thinks will make his case strong in
the higher court. He is preparing the
transcript and will have the case
sent up Immediately.

DRAWING PARTY LINES.

The Sun is inclined to think it was
not mistaken when 1t said the Re-
publicans in Paducah had no des-
sire to inject politics into municipal
matters. The Democrats in Paducah
have for many years drawn party
lines in every city election. They had
good majority in the city. and
there was always a scramble, first
for the nominations. then for the of
fees. Public Office was good
thing" and naturally there were
plenty to go out after it. Yet for
many years no Republican ever held
q public Office in Paducah. Notorious
ly ignorant and dishonest Democrats
could be put out for Office at various
times, and elected. but not the most
honored Republican in Paducah!
Why? Because the Democrats made
every race a question of politics, and
the Democratic battle cry when cleo
tion time rolled around in Paducah
was always 'Never scratch the tick
ct. Vote for a Democrat" Thus the
Democrats stuck TO their own nomi-
nees, no matter who or what they
were, and left no one TO oppose them
except the few Republicans and in
dependents. Yet. we are told the Re
publicans drew party lines! Bad and
Incompetent men nominated by Dem
ocrats were always elected, while the
best men offered by independents OF
Republicans. and nominated because
