Kentucky Hospitality.

A representative in Washington tells
this story to illustrate 1.-The strenuous
life" as it exists in certain parts of
Kentucky:
A well-to-do farmer nee invited an
acquaintance from a n%eighboring town
to dine with him. The recipient of
this courtesy was a man well known
in that region for his general crank
mess and his propensity to use his gun
at the least evidence of what he con-
sidered an affront. The farmer well
aware of the loneliness of his guest,
with whom, for business reasons, he
desired to remain OF good terms, al
ways kept a wary eye on his visitor.
One afternoon the testy individual,
in conversation with his host remark
ed: II can't account for the queer
feelings and impulses that come over
me at times. Do you know the first
time I took dinner here 1 had as much
as 1 could do to master the impulse.
when n Of your son made a GER
tain remark, to whip out my gun and
let 60"
ooh, don't you worry about that
said the farmer. II know all about
your little failing in that line My son
Jake was standin' in the hallway just
back Of you with a shotgun. You did
well to change your mind. At the
first motion toward your hip pocket
my son Jake had instructions to blow
daylight through you!"-Harper's

Neutrality-suspicious. Managers
"visiting" in Canada and South
America and None but Clerks Left.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 15.-The govern
ment today is much concerned over
the sudden disappearance of the heads
of the great packing concerns. The
federal grand jury is investigating the
beef trust, and, after a great deal OF
preliminary work, the grand jury, with
the federal government as prosecutor,
was ready to examine the big men
OF the trust-Armour, Swift, Morris
and the rest-but the magnates have
suddenly and . mysteriously disap-
peared, having gone where grand
juries and federal courts cannot reach
them.
The government has been g%rievously
misled up to the present time. The
trusts appeared to aid the investiga-
ton, rather than to impede it, sending
their employees and books whenever
asked for. The district attorney,
therefore, felt that when the heads
were called upon they would be forth
coming, but such Is not the case. This
week they were to be brought before
the grand Jury, and last week they
skipped, J.. Ogden Armour, Edwin Nor
ris and Edward Swift sailing for
Europe last week. Their attorneys
say they are on their usual spring
vacation; that they always go abroad
about this time Of the year, but the
secret service men say it is not the
real reason for their sudden depart
ure, particularly as the response Of the
packers representatives, the depart
ment managers, who know the inside,
are also absent in Canada and South
America, demonstrating that the pack
ers are not sincere in saying they
courted official investigation.
