ORDERS Loss.
May Turn To Envy Before Books
Are Balanced.

Inc STORY OF HorScnel OrlQor, VINO
has been asleep twelve or fourteen
years, at Rowena, KY, recently pub
lished in the News, has been widely
copied, sometimes correctly, but mostly
with additions by an imaginative brain.
The following article is taken from a
recent issue of the Washington Times,
and we give it for what it is worth.
At first flush there is deep sympathy
for Herschel Order, of Rowena, KY,
who has just recovered from a trance
which has lasted twelve years. He is
now forty-four years old and has until
a few days ago, been fast asleep since
one Autumn day in 1894. Physicians
exerted every effort to arouse him, but
he slept on. Nourishment was admin
istered by artificial means and his
health was apparently good, but all eff
forts to awaken him were futile. until
a few days ago when he yawned,
stretched, arose in bed, and wanted to
know if the morning paper had come.
Now he is all right once more, but is in
an awful stew over his inability to I'M
derstand things that have happened
while he had his little nap, extending
two years over decade.
Order has lost twelve eventful years.
Since he went to sleep his country has
become a world power. He got drowsy
just on the end of panic and he has
missed twelve years Of prosperity, I'M
paralleled in the Nations history. He
never heard of Dewey or the shot in
Manila bay, the echo of which was
heard around the globe and gave Amer
lea place in world politics. The res
cue of Cuba from Syain's tyrannic
rule, the acquisition of the Philippines,
the downfall of Spain, the humiliation
of Russia and the rise of Japan, the
march of civilization into China as a
result of the Boxer uprising, the set
Element of the coal strike, the peace
conference at Portsmouth, the founding
of The Hague court and its dream of
international peace, the American in
vaslon of the markets of the world, the
progress that has been made toward
making America great, and her people
the most prosperous on earth; ali these
events are as closed book to Order.
He has missed a lot and sympathy for
him seems natusal.
But the law of averages in inexor-
able. Order has missed some things
that the American who has slept only
seven hours day in the last twelve
years would like to forget and is apt
to envy Orders ignorance of them.
He never heard of Kettle or San Juar
hills. He knows nothing of the Rough
Riders and the offices they are filling.
The second ratio" and government
without consent of the governed" anG
the "cross of gold and crown of thorns'
are as Greek to him. So far as he
knows, Bryan is still representing the
Second Nebraska district in Congress
He never heard of "Coin" Harvey. HI
never heard of Poultney Bigelow's TRIP
to the Panama canal. The name o.
Alton B. Parker and the swimming
hole at Esopus mean nothing to him
He does not know that James Haze,
Hyde is not still giving dinners will
the policy holders surplus. He proba
bly, thinks that Paul Morton is still
clerking for the Burlington in Chicago
and he does not know that Missouri
went Republican in 1904. He woul,

LITTLE CHILD DROWNED

A two year-old child of Mir. and Mrs. Will Martin, who live near Thornsberry. was drowned in Or ange creek under peculiarly dis dressing circumstances. The fam fly had gone to the creek for a days fishing. The child fell asleep and the parents laid him down in a cool place in the grass on the creek bank and continued their fishing. They moved along the bank of the creek and in a lit tie while found themselves some distance from where the little child was sleeping. Another child was sent back to look after the lit tie sleeper, but 1t was not where the mother had left it. Tracks were soon found on the creek bank that led down to the waters edge and the parents were hurriedly notified. The father plunged into the creek and little way down from where the tracks entered the water the lifeless body of the lit tie child was found lodged against log.

ARGENTA NEWS MAN FINED Sf ,OO0
Was Charged With Libeling Att torney General Rogers Dur
 ing Recent Campaign

Little Rock, June Henry J. Miller, editor of the Argenta News, who was recently convicted of criminal libel in the first divis- ion of the Pulaski circuit court, was today sentenced to pay | fine of $l ,000 by Judge k. J. Lea.
 Miller's attorneys filed motion for new trial and for an arrest of judgement, which were over ruled by the court. The attorneys then prayed an appeal. which was granted, and thirty days given the defendent to file his bill of excep- tions.
 Henry J. Miller was indicted by the Pulaski county grand jury about two months ago on charge of criminal libel. The indictment charged that Miller published false sentences to the effect that Attor- ney General Robert l.. Rogers of fered a bribe and committed for gerry. These charges were made against Rogers during the recent campaign for the Democratic nom- ination for governor, and Miller was indicted about ten days be- fore the primary.
 According to the testimony in- troduced by the defense at the trial on May 21 the charge of forgery against Attorney General Rogers was based upon the allegation of Frank Haley of Van Buren, that Rogers secured his signature to a statement refuting other charges made against Rogers and that cer- tain parts of the statement which he supposed were erased, were left in when the statement was pub Iished and circulated through the state. The charge of offering a bribe was based on the allegation that Rogers offered Ava Smith S25 and later $50 to secure from Key. Leonard Dyer of Van Buren statement to the effect that Rog- CTS was, morally, fit man to be governor of the state.
 These charges were all denied by Rogers when he went on the stand. The jury was out some time before verdict was reached, the members varying greatly in their opinions as to the amount of fine that should be assessed. It was finally left to the court with the result that today Miller was fined S1, ,000.
