PINKEYE IN HORSES
Not So Prevalent Here as
Has Been Given Out.

The Bowling Green correspondent
of the Louisville Times sent the fol-
lowing to his paper a few days since:

owners Of horses generally in Hop
kinsville and Christian county, are
greatly alarmed over the appearance
in that community of several mala-
dies which in many cases are proving
fatal s.

of such an outbreak"
The Kentuclxian has taken some
pains to look into the true situation
and finds that pinkeye prevails, but
to no great extent, in the city and
county. Owners of horses have
adopted every precautionary meas
ure and but very few cases can be
found at present.

Coming Home.

(Reprinted from Chambers Journal. }
o, brothers and sisters growing old,
DO you a remember yet,
The home in the shade Of the rust
ling trees
Where once our household met?
Do you know how we used to come
from school
Through the summers pleasant
heat,
With the yellow fennel's golden dust
On our tired little feet?
And how sometimes in silent mood,
We loitered by the way;
And stopped in the woods to gather
flowers,
And in the fields to play?
Till warned by the creeping shadows
fall,
That told of the coming night,
We climbed to the top Of the last
long hill,
And saw our home in sight.
And brothers and sisters older now
Than she whose life is Ger,
Do you think of the mothers loving
face
That looked from the open door?
Alas! for the changing things of
time,
That home in the dust is low.
And that loving smile was hid from
In the darkness long ago.
And soon we come to life's last hill
From which our weary eyes
Can almost look on the home that
shines
Eternal in the skies.
So brothers and sisters as we go,
Still let US move as one
Always together, keeping step,
Till the march of life is done.
For that mother who waited for us
here,
Wearing a smile so sweet,
Now waits on the hills of Paradise
For her children's coming feet.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the
mucus surfaces.

Venezuelan Minister Is Dis
missed From His
Office.
PRESIDENT DOES IT.
Result of a Controversy
With Francis B.
LOOMS.

Washington, June 20.-The dis
missal of Herbert w. Bowen, for
some years United States Minister
to Venezula, and the exoneration
of Assistant Secretary of State
Francis B. LOOMS of the allegations
brought against him by Mr.. Bowen
are the outcome Of the Loomis-
Bowen controversy, which has at
tracted wide attention for many
months past. This disposition of
the case is made by President Roos-
evelt in a letter addressed to Secre-
tary Taft, made public tonight, ap-
proving Mr.. Taft's report on his
findings and conclusions in the case.
The president scathingly arraigns
Minister Bowen, declaring that his
conduct is especially reprehen-
sible," that Mr.. Bowen asked one of
his witnesses to enter the employ of
a certain company for the purpose,
''in plain words, of stealing" certain
documents which he hoped might in
eliminate Mr.. LOOMS. The Presi-
dent declares that Bowen's explana-
ton of his conduct is inexcusable
and shows his entire unfitness for
the service.

HOW KING Reads PAPER.
Edward of England Always Makes
It a Point Never to Miss Any
thing of Importance.

King Edward always tries to
make certain of never missing see
ing anything in the papers which
he thinks he ought to see, either
about himself or about any of the
numerous objects and movements
in which he is interested, such as
different charities, the visits to
him of his foreign friends, and so
forth, says the New York Herald.
Since it would be difficult for
either him or his secretaries to
make a sufficiently close examina
ton of the whole of all the papers
every day to insure this being
done with any degree of thor
Oughness, his majesty many years
ago resOrted to press cutting agen
cies for assistance. He sub
scribes to two of them, and they
send him in the usual way each
day every line of printed matter
that has appeared in any paper
concerning him, each paragraph
or article being pasted upon sep
arate sheet of paper, with the
name of the journal from which it
was taken and the date of publica-
ton.
All these cuttings are glanced
through by his secretaries, the less
important weeded out, and those
which it is considered his majesty
ought to see are duly shown to
him. The king keeps many large
cutting albums and whenever he
desires to preserve any of these
extracts orders are given for them
to be pasted up in one of them.
In this way it is practically GER
tain that everything that is writ
ten and printed about the king
duly finds its way to one of the
royal palaces, and there has been
on at least one occasion an in.
stance of the king very effectively
expressing his opinion concerning
one item. His majesty does not
in the least mind the personal
paragraphs that are printed about
his dOings, habits and so forth,
realizing that the public curiosity
in regard to these matters is great
and that it has some claim to be
satisfied; but it is an instance of
his keen scrutiny of the papers
that on one occasion two or three
years ago, when a paragraph was
going the round of the daily pa
pers which he did not consider to
be in the best of taste, he forth.
with caused a request to be sent
round to the offices that in future
they would refrain from the pub.
