NEW CAPITOL
Corner Stone Laid in Presence OF
Large Crowd by Gov.
Beckham.

Frankfort, KY, June l6.-ln the
presence of vast crowd of Ken
tuckians and former residents of the
Commonwealth here to attend the
Home Coming, Gov. Beckham this
afternoon at lao o'clock signaled
that the coroner stone of the new
Kentucky capitol be swung into
place and deposited therein copper
box containing the records of state
and sealed up the opening with sill
yer and ebony trowel.
The ceremony was performed to
the strains of "My Old Kentucky
Home" was the greatest event in the
history of the city of Frankfort, as
it settled forever the question of the
capital removal, which was agitated
before the general assembly for
half a century.
Senator Lindsay was the orator of
the day. He referred to his public
life as a citizen of Kentucky and its
representation of the national, and
declared to-day was indeed a Home
Coming to him. He expressed the
gratefcation that Frankfort, which
he always called his home, though
residing in the East for a number
of years, and Kentucky, that their
history and traditions are to remain
united in the future as in the past.
He renewed the part Kentuckians
have played in history not only of
their own State, but of the nation.

Be Good Natured.

Good natured people are a bless
ing wherever they be. They may
not set the world on fire; they may
not make the most money, but they
leave an aroma of happiness in their
wake that is better than anything in
this world. To feel good toward
your fellows and to be able to ex-
press that feeling at the proper
time and as often as need be. is a
gift more precious than gold or
Jewels. 1t is also as rare as great
riches.

Sl0venlineSS in Speech

Do not drift into carelesshabits of
speech. Slang, which is slovenli-

as sIovenliness in dress. Many peo-
pie use slang because they are too
lazy to think of proper forms fer the
expression of thought. The cloth

COMFORTABLE GRAVES
Dug by an Old Man for Himself
and Wife, Who Are Past
Three Score.

Clio. S. G. June s. In the pres
ence of bystanders at the recent
completion of his tomb, Joel Cow
ington. an aged farmer. lay down at
full length IN the grave he had built
and found il comfortable. His
wife's grave adjoining was not tried
in that fashion.
kAt a public dedication there were
edlogies of the couple by prominent
citizens and few simple exercises
When he was sixty-eight, Mr.. Coy-
ington first decided that he wanted
to be buried the way he is going to
be. He and his wife have their bur-
ial clothes ready also. Here is what
he says about his tomb:
Hebron cemetery is a beautiful
place to look upon by the passerby,
but the cemetery is very level. with
no outlet for rain water to pass off.
Therefore, many are sleeping there
in a watery grave. From my youth
have been blessed with good
feather bed to rest on from the
hardship Of farm life. Therefore. !
did not feel that my wife and |
should be buried any way after our
years of hard work. Therefore,
about ten years ago, ! dug out a
place large enough to fix water tight
with good brick, with a wall about
eighteen inches thick between the
two graves. and ordered marble
slabs to cover the same, with our
names on them.
when was commencing to dig
our graves bystanders begged me
not to. Their excuse was that /
would soon die. But the reverse
has happened. They have been dead
many years. and am still living and
having a good time listening to good
speeches made at my tomb.
81 am in my seventy-sixth year,
and my wife is in her sixty-eighth.
and we look to have many a good
time yet before the marble slabs are
slipped aside for our interment."

If there is any chance to boom

others, no matter how small you
may know yourself to be. When
"a stranger drops in, jolly him.
Tell him this is great city and
so it is Don't discourage him by
speaking i'll of your neighbors.
Lead him to believe he has at last
found a place where good people
live.
Don't knock.
Help yourself along BY becom-
ing popular, and push your
friends with you. It's very easy
Be a good fellow and soon you'll
have a procession of followers.
No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down in

ever got rich by trying to make,
believe he was THE

knew anything. You can not
climb the ladder of success by
treading on others corns Keep
off the corns and don t knock.
You're not the only. There
are Others, and they have brains
