excursion OF tniEty AoutUcky BAriD u
home again after somewhat exciting,
albeit enjoyable, tour Of Europe.
The return to the sacred coil Of their
native state was signalized BY great re-
joicing not only among the girls them
selves, but by the appreciative Ken
lucky men, who viewed with some
misgIvings the entire enterprise.
There were fears that the party
might not return intact; or, at least,
that the beauties might not ell be az
fancy free as when they went forth to
challenge the admiration Of Old World
masculinity.
II We may rely upon the reports
that come out OF the Blue Grass State,
however, the Kentucky girls were not
only not impressed with the types OF
men they met abroad, but they have
come back more satisfied than ever
with American men.
EpitOmized, the opinion formed by
the Watterson girls about Europe is
this:
Scotland and Switzerland the pref
test and most pleasing countries.
Scotch p0ople the most cordial.
Swiss people most interesting.
Englishmen best looking.
English women worst dressers-dont
know how to put on their belts, and
have big, fat feet.
Partisan women artificial-pewder
and rouge, penciled eyebrows and false
hair more common than any place on
the map.
Frenchmen insipid, critical and I'M
dersized. They stare and are rude in
their comments.
French newspapers sharp and un-
mannerly; their reporters "rerfect
pests.'
Belgium the most picturesque coun-
try.
Germans most sterling, stolid, sim
cere sort of people.
BUT
Americans tho BEST EVER, and
Kentucky Gods own state,
II WAS in Paris that the American
girls we're most disappointed and the
worst treated. They had been her.
aided by the Paris papers IS Ken
lucky peaches" but after their ar.
rival the reporters gazsd at them and
libelousIy branded them "lemons."
% one occasion they were actually
hissed by the unchivaIric Frenchmen,
whose ideas of beauty hinge upon
dpowder and rouge, penciled eye
brows and false hair" 1t seems that
the glowing color and healthy gen.
uineness of the wholesome American
girls were lost entirely upon the eci-
ons OF decadent Latin civilization.
At any rate, the entire country will
join in the rejoicing that comes from
Kentucky because every one Of the
girls returned with words Of praise for
the American men.
We can't afford to lose any Of our
Kentucky girls, or our girls from any
other state, for that matter. And we
are more grounded in the opinion
that If all American girls could have
the same opportunity for observation
Of the men Of Europe, they would BE-
happier in the alteration they inspire
on this side Of the Atlantic

BALLAD or sILLv Bryan.

rye sailed the sea of the sunset skies;
I've nlled the Philippines
with barrels Of talk. I've laid my eyes
ON the tropics lustrOus scenes.
I've iawed with Japs and, Ohuckled, Chinese,
And rye chinned with the Empress Dow;
I've cut the crest OF the Indian seas,
And made my prettiest bow
To the nabob kings and the sunburnt things
That England clothes and boards;
rye playfully toyed with the brazen rings
In the noses of heather hordes.
I've seen the ruins of Grecian dOin's;
I've gasped at the Coliseum;
I've ventured Venice, cum viae huens.
And met the Ambassador Deum.
I've parle voused in the Ruede Rood,
And wept on the tomb of Nap;
I'VE brayed the wurst with the Berlin brood,
And talked with the Russian chap,
Who seems to have got my crown of thorns
Pressed down on his empty brow,
Though still have told of my cross OF gold
Which raised such royal row.
I'VE talked with Eddy and talked while Teddy
Was saying the same over sea;
I've dined and wined till am ready
To live on toast and tea.
And bid you bark as now remark,

"Send the paper" is the

They know that the presence
of their favorite paper will
rob the days OF a certain

bly, comes to the sOjOurner,
amid the truant reminis-
cences of ''home."
And is not one most apt
under such conditions, to
give q more careful perusal
of this kind informer-the
Newspaper-than he would
if these same activities Of
which he reads were going on
before his immediate vision?

which no matter how care
fully he may have followed
them, has never been AS man

notes the absence of your

RAILROAD STATION WRECKED

An Unsuccesaful Enort 10 Find Moncy 'n
the Kenton once OF the Delaware

The station Of the Delaware 4
Chesapeake railroad, at keuton, was
wrecked by thieves last uiKht but as
they we're evidently after money aud
did not find any, they were disap-
pointed. SO far as could be figured
out this morning, on the arrival OF
Station Agent John Walker, nothing
Was. stolen, although the paraphor-
MALTA was left In bad shape.
Entrance was effected through a
window. the fastening OF which was
pried of with a railroad spike, and
with the same spike, evidently, the
ticket box was practically picked 10
pieces and it's contents e1nmiAed.
Drawers we're also pried open and the
contents scattered about, but the
ureokage Indicated that nothing had
been carried off.
The last train reaches kenton at 5.O7
o'clock in the afternoon and the fret
one leaves in the morning at S. 40
o'clock. The station was closed last
night about o o'clock and every thing
was al right at that time. Nothing
