Edith had many charms, but the
greatest of these was her variety.
1t was my custom to say to Edith
that I went home every evening to a
different girl. Sometimes it was a
echildishly ingenious, wide-eyed, i'm
pulsive little girl. Sometimes it was to
q calm-eyed dispenser of hospitality, a
young woman SO stately that she
seemed to have the advantage of sew
eral inches over the little girl of the
previous evening. Once l was greeted
by the chuckles of 3 midget who wore
my smoking jacket, had tumbled her
hair into a semblance of mine, and
posing before the mirror, with my old

was drawing an evil caricature of me
in my domestic and least tidy move
Tnents. AS master of the house it was
my duty TO chide her for this. which
I did, asserting that / was afraid to
let myself into the front door with my
latch key, if 1 was bringing a friend
TO dinner, lest we find her making a
rapid descent of the balusters. This
practice, ] must say in Justice to Edith,
she Indignantly denied. Occasionally

We had been married three years
when she decided that the sweets Of

At this point Edith became most en-

SWORD is STILL USEFUL
Conclusion of Army Officers Is That
It Should Re Effective.

iISI fC ElGCllvS. ..
Washington, July Aft they[ our
trny officers) carry any words they
ought to carry a sword hat they can
tut and thrust with" was a comment
which President Roosevelt made in a
etter TO the authorities CT the war de-
1artnnent sone months ago.
Today q voluminous report, which
discusses every phase of the sword
problem, was received by Secretary
Taft.
The sentiment of the army, the
'eport states, is largely against the
1se of any sword by officers in the
ield. Experience in the Philippine
stands has led TO the replacement of
the sword by the revolver. A lesson
drawn from the Russo-Japanese war
as to the use OF the sword, however,
leads the committee to state that the
sword is not the weapon of the past"
The recommendations of the COM
mittee are that the saber adopted
for the army shall be both a thrust
ting and cutting weapon.

This morning Albert Wallace.
negro steamboat hand, appeared at
the city hall and wanted a warrant
against Mate Dan Sears, of the stea-
mer Reuben Dunbar. for striking him
this morning at the wharf. Lieuten-
ant Harlan told him the Judge was
not in but he might procure the war
rant If he returned later.
This was the last seen or heard
of Wallace until telephone message
to headquarters announced that Wal
lace had gone to the boat and assault
ed the mate with brick and nearly
killed him.
Mate Sears, of the Dunbar, was
standing on the lower deck of the
boat when hit In the head by the
large rock thrown by Wallace. Wal

boat, had trouble with the negro this
morning The negro slipped off and

later the negro was seen to slip up
behind the mate TO hit him, and call

Sears turned to see what the trouble
was and the negro threw the stone,
catching the mate on the left side of
the head and on the left eye.
A dangerous cash was cut to the
skull. and the eye, 1t is thought, will
be impossible to save. DR.. Robertson

him removed to Riverside hospital,
where it was found that he was suf-

The skull was not fractured but Mr..

Tenn, and no trouble was had with
him until this morning.
When Wallace was put off the boat
he swore he would get even with the
mate for firing him and walked up

sued from the Mayheld board OF
health.
In view of the fact that yellow
fever now exists in several OF our
southern states and the excursions
on August will draw many col
ored people from infected districts
the city board of health, assisted by
the mayor and board of council
men, do hereby prohibit the people
from coming In or going to excur-
sons from Mayheld. Ky. The board
of health asks the assistance of local

The city board Of health decided
at meeting held Saturday after
noon late not to establish a quar-
antine In Paducah. Mayor Yeiser
and many merchants favor a quar-
antlne, but the point was made that
the city board could not quarantine
al the state board had announced
the day before that Kentucky should
not quarantine.
There is difference Of opinion
as TO the state boarc's right to pre-
vent city or county from quaran-
timing, although It Is admitted that
the board may say whether or not
the state as whole shall quaran-
tine. Some contend that the state
board may quarantine the whole
state but that II cannot say that no
part of the state may not quaran-
tine
The only reason that quarantine
has been advocated Is that people
come here from New Orleans every
day. and that owing to the heat and
other conditions. the fever could de-
velop or exist here just as well as
In any of the extreme southern cit
les, and that for | case of yellow fe-
yer to appear here would do the city
more harm than a dozen quaran-
tines.
There is considerable excitement
reported from Fulton. and also In
May6eld and an order was issued
Saturday at Mayfeld that no one

A number of refugees arrived

They had tickets to Fulton but were
not permitted to get on the train,
and had TO come to Paducah..

Griscom boarded the boat on March

effects except a small portmanteau.
This was noticeably new, and had evil
