SCHOOL HEATERS
BEGIN TO GIVE THE TEACHERS
TROUBLE.
II Is Probable Changes Will Have to
Be Made at Once.

The heating of some of the public
school buildings has begun to cause
trouble, and 1t Is probable some of
the heating systems will have to be
modified.
Said an official today:
in the Lincoln building, colored
stoves are being put up and every de-
feet in radiation usmedied in all
schools. In the High school the ra-
diation has never been what 1t should
be, and will have to be overhauled.
Th)s piping is said to be too small
and the radiators too few. There Is
talk of putting in hot water plant
like the Mckinley, the best heated
school in the city. This seems to be
the only solution to the matter" r.
The school board will be called up
on to put in gas heater in the
school board room which is used also
as an office for Supt. Leib. On meet
ing nights the steam has all died out
of the radiators and as only one
room in the building is necessary to
be heatisd, the board thinks it cheap
er to put in a gas stove than to burn
a lot of coal for the one meeting
night.

The w. b. Smith case has aroused
great interest all over the state, as
we'll as in other places.
In none of the papers has anything
been said about what became of
Smiths family. Friends in Paducah
have received information, however.
that she is in Louisville expecting to
hear from her husband. The children
are with her people near Madison
Vile. Mrs. Smith has many friends in
Paducah who feel a deep sympathy
for her in her trouble.
The Louisville Post says:
The machinery of the department
of justice of the United States is now
well in operation looking toward the
extradition of Mr.. Smith District At
torney Hill has communicated with
the federal authorities at New York,
and has asked that thorough search
be made for the missing banker in
that city.
Some of Mr.. Smiths friends say
that 1t is their opinion that he in
tends to return to the United States
voluntarily but such Is not the opin-
ion of the federal authorities here. II
is believed that Mr.. Smith will not
return to Louisville until he is
brought in the custody of an officer
of the federal government.
Honduras, and not Puerto Rico.
is the present location of Banker w.
b. Smith, according to rumor cir
culating on Main street. The point is
made that II Mr.. Smiths intention is
not to return, Honduras offers decd-
ed advantages, in that there are no
extradition laws, whereas Puerto Ri
co Is United States territory.
Members of the firm of Snow &
Church, with whom the missing fl
nancier had closer relations than
with any other local concerns, insist
that Smith will return, and declare
that the best evidence that his de-
parture was not flight Is afforded by
the fact that he was accompanied by
his father, A. c.. Smith. farmer of
Henry county, living near Newcastle.
This information, according to a
member of the Snow e. Church firm.
came through one of the Smith broth
ers. c. r. Smith. of Boston, KY. who
shares the family proclvlty for ban
king. and is interested in a country
institution.
Snow & Church said this morning:
I'VE expected to hear from Mr.. Smith
last night, but are not alarmed be
cause we have not heard. We will get
word from him in day or two.
A gentleman told the Evening
Post this morning. that a friend had
stated that he had talked with Smith
shortly before he left Louisville. and
that the latter had shown him $780,
600 in cash, and had said to him.
Come with me to Honduras, and
we'll make fortune In no time
All Smiths business connections
believe that Smith had amassed con-
siderable property though every
thing he had was encountered. He
had interests In several coal mining
properties, but bonded them. depos-
tied the bonds with the Western Ma

MANY THINGS COME TO LIGHT
Smiths Destination South Afri-

Louisville, KY, Oct. 21.-The
latest rumor concerning w. b.
Smith, is that he has gone to
South Africa, and that there is
no probability that he will re-
turn voluntarily to Louisville.
Close friends believe that Africa
and not the West Indies, was his
destination when he left Louis
vile, and, that realizing the fix
he was in, ne decided to get far
away. 1t is also said that Smith
took all the money he could
raise with him, and that he had
from $4,000 to 100000. He
is said to have disposed of prop
erty worth $4,000 in Paducah
for $4,000. This consisted of
real estate and stocks of various
kinds, including a large holding
in an Arkansas land company.
Recent deed books In the Of
flee of the county clerk here
show decided activity in real es-
ate, in deals with w. B. Smith
named as grantee.

thing we want very much, and need
every day, and are going to have
ourselves if we don't find it on a
bargain counter.
Now to be tactful is simply to re-
frain from giving injuries. That
takes us right back to our CHAPTER
First about talk, for
"You may keep your feet from slip
ping,
And your hands from evil deeds,
But to guard your tongue from trip
ping
What ~unceasing care it needs"
1t can accomplish more good and
do more mischief than any member
of our body. Its persuasive elo-
quence has overturned dynasties and
royalty has yielded to its ~entreaties.
The Caudle lectures it has admins
tered, if all chronicled, would swamp
the world in humorous reading. The
grievances it has complained of
would bankrupt the list of human
"evils which flesh is heir to-" Who
hasn't met the woman who is always
fussing over little trivial household
griefs, who talks everlastingly about
nothing, and berates every one for
miles around from the cat in the

Needs watching against abuse,
For tits the only weapon that keener

Scolding is mostly a habit. 1t is
often the result of and

and body. A person is tried or an

everything and everybody within
reach. Men have this habit as well
as women, but women more fire.
quently because they do not get the
nerve tonic and scold-eradicator of
the fresh outdoor life. 1t is an
unreasoning and unreasonable habit
easily formed, and the short time
it takes to contract it, become ad-
dicted to and confirmed in it, is very
astonishing. 1t is an extremely dis
agreeable habit. 1t is contagious.
Once introduced in a family, it is
pretty certain to affect all the mem
bers in a very short time. l know a
lady who has this habit, and not only
her children and husband are taking
on her tone, but her help in the
kitchen and yard, no matter how
~peaceable when they first come to
her, are fussing and "sassing back"
in a remarkably short time after be-
ing around her.
Scolding is a sign of weakness.
