A young couple who were married
abode in an apartment house. The
suite is small and their wants are not
exacting, and so the young woman
does her own. work. Naturally she
does her own marketing as well, and
lr5,ttaing of an economical turn of mind
tries to tSuy SO that they viii have all
they need Without any waste. More
especially is this adh1lfac AHA trait shown
when. she buys her meats, her sfesaks
being diminutive, but most delicious.
The other night she had a person.
ally selected porterhouse steak for din
ner, and it occurred to her to get out
one of the wedding presents for. the oc-
casion, huge carving set that had
hitherto reposed in its velvet lined
case. She laid the broad and shining
blade of the knife across the platter
and then called her husband 80
ACome, Henry she cried. "and test
your Uncle Johns gift on "a juicy
steak"
Henry came and stared at the plat
ter.
"Why, where's the steak r. he asked.
"The steak?" echoed the young wife.
''Why, it's right there why, where is
it,"
And she stared at the platter, too
"Are You sure it was there?" cried
the bewildered husband.
"Of course I'm sure. 1t was there a.
moment ago, and
And just then the husband raised the
huge carving knife that had been
stretched across the platter. And there
was the porterhouse steak hiding be,
meath the broad blade! - Cleveland

THE SNOW LULLABY.

When all was dull and dark and serene
In country and in town
"A song SO soft that none could hear
Was gently waited down
A song that hoated to the bill
And sighed across the plain
And soothed each fretting, brawling fill
With its serene refrain.
It crept about The lonely tree
Which held an empty nest,
And murmured low the lullaby
That Gained the tree to rest;
Tt beat across the meadows wide
Where grasses mourned for June
And all their rushing whispers died
Beneath Its peaceful Groom.

1t sought the bare sweep Of the field,
The borders Of the wood
The shrubs that in the breezes reeled
Now firm and sturdy stood;
1t babe the sullen, leafess boughs
That their harsh tones must cease,
And over all, from fields to sloughs,
IL scattered silent peace.
This was the song that had no sign
Of music nor of word
Yet grass and shrub and oak and pine
And hill and valley heard.
Then came wind that smoothed the snos
With drowsy pat and sweep
And whispered, in the 1noonlight's glow,
The world has gone to sleep.

sanitary Regulations On Trains.

The State Board of Health has
done a good work in having the
railroad companies of the State
to agree to certain rules and reg
ulations looking to the health of
passengers. Among. them on
and after April 1st., all smoking
cars will be provided with spit
ICONS for each seat and notices
prohibiting the splitting upon the
floor. The smoking cars have
been filthy from tobacco juice and
saliva upon the floor. The idea
of railroads providing a car for
people to use tobacco and then no
place to spit upon the floor made
these cars absolutely repulstve to
many travellers who enjoy the use
of the weed. AS Pat Rush, of
Hart county, use to call them,
the spit cars, are to be abolished
and everybody both from the
standpoint of cleanliness and
health will rejoice to know it. In
the other passenger coaches spit
toons are to be provided at each
end for fruit Feelings and other
things that heretofore it has been
necessary to either throw on the
floor or out of the window. The
people of Kentucky have DR..
Mel ormack, secretary Of the
State Board of Health to thank
for these new regulations. E.

Church Has Twelve Members.

One of the most historic places
of interest in Shelby county is
"Old Beech Creek church, situat-
ed on the Harrisonville and Wad-
dy turnpike, one and one-half
miles southeast of the latter place
says the Shelbyville Sentinel.
This church, which is composed
of less than a dozen members of
the "Old School Baptists," was
organized in the year 1776. In
the early years Of it's existence
the congregation was one of the
strongest and m o s t influential
west of the Alleghanies. The
most eloquent and learned minis
tiers of Kentucky and adjoining
States, particularly of Virginia,
preached at "Old Beech. -
! The annual MAY meeting,
until twenty-five years ago, was
an event of much Importance to
Beech Creek people, and f o r
months in advance the work of
preparation for this meeting was
in progress. People from all the
adjoining counties made it a point
to be there upon that occasion,
and now many of the old people
remember the May meeting and
relate many interesting facts as
ISOLATED with it.
Tradition has it that when the
the War of 1872 between Great
Britain and the United S t a t e $
was declared, a courier from Vir-
ginia, coming by the way of Har-
rods Fort stopped at old Beech
and informed the people that the
conflict was on in earnest. Some
few years ago a new church was
built on the site of the old build.

his Republican competitor has
been seated. Such acts of parti-
san unfairness and tyrany of pow
er call for the loudest condem-
nation on the part of all fair men
regardless of political association.
The sanctity of the ballot and the
verdict of the people acting in
their constitutional right has been
ruthlessly overthrown, simply be-
cause the opposite party had a
majority in the legislature and an
usurper and a man who was re-
pudiated at the polls by a large
majority, has been seated in the
office of Governor.
1t is time that honesty was as
serting itself among the people
as of infinitely more value than
party advantage and insisting at
the polls that integrity, justice
and fairness shall be the chief
qualifications of all those who are
intrusted with office or power.
Unless this is done the rape of the
Governorship of Colorado will be
repeated again and again in 9TH
er states, until our whole election
system shall become a farce and
mockery, and the very founda-
ton of our Government, the sane
tity and purity of the ballot, shall
be destroyed.
The action of Governor Adams
under this deliberate ROBBERY is
one to be commended to the peo-
pie. He submitted to the forms
of law, even when they were used
to deliberately rob him of an office
to which he was fairly elected,
and went quietly to his home to
await the time when the people
in their might will right this
which has been done him
and his party. How different is
his action from Taylor's and his
crowd in Kentucky. A d ans
against a, known threft, entered
only his protest and a future ap-
peal to the people, Taylor and his
crowd, upon only a claim of cleo
ton and before the Legislature
had decided the contest, marked
the capital at Frankfort with a
cowardly and dastardly assassi-
nation which will ever remain a
blot upon the state. Even if the
Democrats were threatening to
do in Kentucky what the Repub-
licans actually did in Colorado, the
of the public is called to
the peaceable abdication of Gov.
Adams with the bloody and in
famous course of Taylor. -E-town

Insanity and It's Cure.
The spread of insanity in the
United States is becoming so Sc
rious that specialists of the medi-
cal profession are giving it great
attention just now.
The cause?
DR.. H. N. Meyer, of Chicago,
al expert in mental diseases, has
advanced this theory:
There is no doubt about the
increase in insanity. City life
causes insanity. Poor food, poor
home, with no sun and bad air,
improper clothing, worrying be-
cause people are behind in the
rent, these things drive people
crazy.
And the cure?
Live in the country says
DIR. Meyer. 1t is the coming to
the city, grinding and pinching
and failing to make both ends
meet that drives people crazy;
the cure for insanity is: Live out
of doors and laugh-even if you
cant put cash in the bank"
Ponder these words of the Chi
cago scientist,
Are you burning the candle at
both ends?
Are you breathing foul air and
neglecting the sun light?
Are you putting all your mind
upon business and money getting?
Are you disturbing nature by
irregularity of habits?
Are you spending in reckless
dissipation or ceaseless d o liar
hunting the hours that should be
used for sleeping?
Are you starving your body in
order to stuff your purse?
Are you wearing out your brain
with worry?
Are you giving more heed to
eXausting demands of the golden
calf than the exhilarating joys of
nature?
Are you forcing yourself to car
ry on your shoulders more than
your strength can stand?
Are you compelling your wife
and children to stay in pent-up
rooms to stagnate or to fade?
Are you pinching and grinding
your employees, injuring t h e m
physically and weakening them
with anemia?
If so you are helping to fill the
insane assylums and augment the
ranks of degenerates. Yon are
doing your part to destroy t h e
human race.
Change your ways, you who are
doing these things. Go out into
the country. Fill your lungs with
fresh air. Send your wife and
children into the sunlight. make
your clerks a n d workmen go
where it is green. When you feel
like worrying, smile. When you
feel like smiling, laugh. Danish
worry from your lexicon forever.
Figures themselves show that
American people must do some
thing to change the conditions.
AS gathered and presented by
DR.. Meyer, they establish the
fact that New York's insanity ra-
ito is one out every $40 persons;
Boston and New England have
one in every 800 persons; Chicago
has one in every 400.
Will you join in remedying the
evil? ~
The formula is simple:
Live out of doors and laugh!'
