Graves County Situation May Prove
Too Much for Western Ken
tucky's Hopes.
STATE POLITICIANS LISTEN.

Perhaps no part OF the state Is
more yitally interested In the develop
ments OF the next few days IN the
Democratic political situation in Ken
lucky than the First district.
The interest centers in the fact that
Congressman Ollie James name is
perslstently connected with the race
for governor. and until II Is fipelly
settled that he will or will not run.
there will be unrest In the political
pot of western Kentucky. Already
Il Is boiling and surging with the
hopes and fears and aspirations OF the
ublquituous receptive candidates for
congress. and vague dreams and re-
mote possibilities steam mp from the
heaving mess Of politics. politics. pol

The question gives different hue
to the situation IN every county In the
First district. In McCracken county
a hall dozen aspirants begin posting
their friends to corral the drlft OF
party sentiment. In Galloway county
the clans gather for struggle for con-

county produces a candidate. and the
politicians OF other counties prepare
To take advantage of whatever good
things the shifting current OF politics

In Graves county an entirely ar

The points are made by either indenting

MOTHER OF PEARL WORKERS.
Crude Methods Used by People of Beth
lehem

The chief industry of Bethlehem in
Judea is that of the mother of pearl
workers. The shells are brought from
the Red sea and in the hands of native
artisans are polished and carved, the
larger into elaborate designs; the smaller
are cut up for rosaries and crosses.
The work is all done by hand, and the
methods are amazingly primitive to a
spectator from the home of steam and
electric power. But the results are ex-
traordinary.
The largest shell we saw was carved
in scenes from the birth of Christ, the
Agony in the Garden and the Crucifix-
ion, and had the general effect of delicate
frostwork. Under the magnifying glass
every detail was seen to be perfect in
outline and in finish. 1t was executed
to order for an American and was to
cost $160.
About $50 persons make living by
this industry, which is 500 years old.
In the shops the wor1men sit upon the
floor. their benches in front of them :;
the air is full of whitish dust and the
light, admitted by the single window and
the open door, so dim that the exquisite
tracery of the wrought shells is a mys-
terry even before the visitor notes how
few, simple and crude are the instru-
ments mployed.--Lippincott's Magazine.

Pearls Cost More Now.

1t was two years ago that Il generous
husband after Il successful transaction in
business gave his wife Il pearl necklace.
He paid the Fifth avenue dealer $4,000.
1t seemed as large as any necklace she
would ever want until, after another
transaction which had yielded him a
profit, the thought of a larger one ell
tered the husbands mind. He took the
pearls back to have them changed.
Cost $1,000. / remember the clerk
said Il sold it to you myself It's
changed in value since you bought it,
however. Leave it here. and | will cs-
innate the present value and let you
know"
Two days later there came the COM
forting answer that the present value of
the pearls was $1,000 more than it had
been two years before.-New York Sun.

CHANCE FOR TIGER HUNTERS.
So Many of Man Eaters in South China
That Natives Want Them Killed.

Never have there been more deaths
caused by tigers than during the last six
months, In one village alone in Hoipu
region not far from No Ma, which can be
reached by the steamship Marking every
two or three days from Macao, there is
small village which has lost ten persons
on account OF tigers Wnlle IN the same
paid the penalty of their lives on account
of these feroeious animals.
Why cannot some of the Nimrods of
Hong Kong inaugurate a great hunt and
thus clear out these monsters which have
become menace to the Chinese: limo
cent women and laughing children would
be forever thankful to anyone who would
deliver them from this curse, which they
dread so much.
The Chinese seem to have no skill in
