Origin of Gift Giving.

Origin OF Gift Giving.
The practice Of making presents on
Christmas day undoubtedly owes its
origin to a general idea to carry into
practice the Biblical mandate: Peace
on earth; good will to men," At first
the great lords made presents to their
retainers, and the season was marked
by universal charity. By degrees the
practice of Christmas giving spread
until now everybody gives friends

Mrs Nexdoor-Aren't you always
worried half to death when it comes to

Mrs. Sunshine-My, no. l buy my
husband something l want for myself.
and he buys me something he wants for
himself, and then we trade.

Grand Lodge Declines to Accept
it Under the Conditions.
The Matter Of State Home Will
Now Be Reopened and New
Bids Asked.
NOTHING UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

Mr.. Alex Kulp returned this morn
ng from Hopkinsv'lle, where he has
been attending the grand lodge OF
Kentucky Knights of Pythias. Messrs.
Lawrence Gleaves and Harry Atkins,
the other two delegates from Pada-
cab, will arrive tonight or tomor-
row.
Mr.. Kulp reports that the gran
lodge declined to accept the Lexing-
ton property for state home for X.
of widows and orphans. and the
property was ordered sold.
The matter of establishing a state
Home will be reopened next year,
and steps be taken to establish a
home elsewhere. This will necessi-
tate new bids being made by various
cities desiring the Home, and submit
ted to the committee.
When the home was unde rdiscus-
sion last year Paducah submitted
what was considered by many the
best bid, but Lexington was success
full. II was learned after the Licking
ton property had been decided On
that the contract or agreement gave
Fayettei county a right to send its
paupers to the home il 1t desired to
do so. Although the grand lodge re-
ceived the assurance that the county
had no idea of doing such thing,
there was no certainty that at some
future time it would not be done,
with. the contract IN the shape 1t is
now in, and the grand lodge decided
to- take no chances and. rejected the
Lexington property, which 1t did.

TWO NEW TRAINS
DESIRED BY THE MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION OVER THE
NJ, G. 4 ST. l..
One Should Arrive About o a. m.
and Leave About y. m. for
Paris.

The Retail Merchants Associa-
ton last night discussed matter of
great Importance to Paducah and
the members are going to make ev-
cry effort to have their ideas carried
out. They think that there should be
a train into Paducah over the N, c.
and st. l.. in the forenoon, and one
out on the same road late in the af-
ternoon.
Their plan is to have the road in
augurate a schedule that will bring
in an accommodation train from as
far south as Paris, Tenn, in the
morning, leaving Paris about 5 and
reaching Paducah about 8 a. m. and
to have train leave here for Paris
and way stations about 8 p. m. and
reach there about p. IN. This would
be a great convenience to people all
along the line. and 1t is believed
would bring much new business to
Paducah
The trains now arrive here at
1:10 o'clock in the afternoon and
S:15 in the evening, and leave at
7:45 in the forenoon and 2:30 in the
afternoon.

John ID. Rockefeller has been the
under dog for a long time SO far as
public opinion is concerned. He has
been abused and pilloried, and de-
nounced as a Pariah unworthy of liv-
ing. People are beginning to see him
in a new light. This abuse has been
heaped on him so plentifully lately
that 1t is actually arousing sympathy
for him. He has been discussed and
dissected to such an extent that his
true character is beginning to be re-
vealed, and it can be said to his credit
that he Is not the John ID. Rookie
Teller that SO many have imagined.
One Chicago philanthropist is out in
a statement that he had rather be
John d. Rockefeller poor, with his
loving disposition and brilliant mind,
than the whole pack Of his~tradncers
with all the money in the country.

TAKEN TO CLINTON
NEGRO YOUTH TO BE TRIED FOR
ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.
He Was Brought Here Several Weeks
Ago to Escape the Wrath Of
am Angry Mob.


Jimmie Hale, an eighteen-year-old
negro who was brought here several
weeks ago from Hickmon county and
lodged in the McCracken county jail
for safe keeping. was taken back to
Hickman county last night to answer
TO the charge of attempted criminal
assault
Hale Is alleged to have assaulted
white woman. He was intercepted
and taken to jail, but a crowd of in
furiated citizens formed with the in
tention of mobbing the boy, and Sher-
in Givehs had to spirit him away
and drive here in buggy to deliver
him to Jailer Jones for safe keeping.
Hale denied that he was guilty of
the charge. The crime is alleged to
have been attempted near Hickman
aud Hale was taken to Clinton. where
circuit court is in session, to be tried
Immediately. II is thought that feel
ing against the negro has about died
out. and that there is little possibili-
ty of mob attempting to seize the
prisoner again.
Sheriff Givens arrived about 6
o'clock last night and left with his
prisoner via Fulton at GAO o'clock.

TO LIMIT INSURANCE.

Golfers Weekly for September 80
suggests that the amount of insur-
ance which one company can take
should be limited. 1t says:
reaction is certainly taking
place in favor of the smaller insur-
ance companies, though to what ex-
tent can not yet be told. Years ago
the dangers OF unlimited size were
pointed out. In paper by an actu-
airy read at the convention of insur-
ance commissioners of 1892, for ex-
ample, II was argued that the larg-
est companies might grow to such
vast size that their officers, supervis-
ed by their directors and examined BY
state insurance officials" And he,
like other prophets. pointed out also
the moral temptation, increasing with
the size. Mr.. Hughes, pressing an
officer of one big company about
syndicate operations. received the re-
ply that they were necessary in order
TO handle SO much business. To the
paraphase Of Mr.. Hughes, that the
insurance companies fight for an
amount OF business that will force
them to disregard the law, there was,
AS there could be, no adequate re-
ply.
These big companies have come TO
be indifferent to the permanence of
the business written. The public
