COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE TIMES

long-distanee piano pounder should re- member that it is quality and not ouan- tity that counts in music. It is surprising how much fishing poetry fish.
 T see an opening here,a said Mister skeeter and he straightway entered a .'peekaboo."
 In calling the automobile 'ubiquitous 's a writer in Pearsons magazine does not transcend the limits of possibility. The auto goes everywhere. In case of acci- dents, it is sometimes difficult to say just where a car will go.
 A POETS WOES. Poet writes some little verses,
 Sends them to an editor, Who doth like the style and meter Gives the poet credit or Mails to him a small remittance For the stanzas he has writ, For, thinks he, that unknown fellow Stands chance to make hit. When the compositions printed Many errors here and there Fill the poet, half distracted.
 With deep sorrow and dispair. Tho he hoped he would be famous, Typo smiled in cold disdain. Poet men should learn to pass through Such ordeals and try again.
 FAME
 Fame is sometimes
 Hard to find,
 Often harsh and
 Most unlind,
 For she smiles on
 Many cranks
 Who don't give her
 Any thanks There would be lot of excitement if somebody should try to "bull' the soda water market. Gentleman over in Morocco who mur- dered thirty-six women must have been tilted in his early youth. A pathetic story is going the rounds of how a young man who was far from home lost his bank roll No loss can be felt more keenly at times. It is hardly probable that Mir Roose- welt had to take that little outing to recover from the chill he caught from Senator Tillman.
  KEEP COOL.
 This is the burden
 Of my song
 Don't hunt for trouble
 Less you're strong. !, It is human to err Maybe that is one reason why we so often pick the wrong horse to carry our money. You will find some real poetry south of this department.

 Father Thomas Sherman. who is marching through Georgia over the route followed by his father, General sherman, can't expect to arouse much enthusiasm among the natives. | The Danville News, published in Joe Cannon's home town. has nailed his honored name to its masthead for 1908.

Interesting Invest sAtioffs That Have
Of Lats Have Been Carried
on ia Rhodesia.

If the conclusions as TO the ORR
gin and aistory OF the mysterious
ruins in Rhodesia put before the
British association at Bulaway0
by Mr.. Randall MacIver are cor
rect, they are not relics of ancient
Ophir, and we must seek else
where for the region whence King
solomon procured his stores Of
gold and precious stones. Mr..
MacIver went to Rhodesia last
April, under the auspices of the
association and the Rhodes trus
tees, and examined infinitely the
ruins Of Inyanga, Niekerk's farm
(16 miles north of Inyanga), Kha
mi, Ohio Ohio, Unatali, Insiza and
Zimbabwe.A After careful inves-
tigation he has decided that nonr
of the ruins in southern Rhodesia
is older than the fifteenth or six
tcenth century, and that they are
the handiwork Of African natives
of the negro or negroid race under
the dynasty known by the collect
i've name of Monomotapa. The
bases of these conclusions were
formed by the following data:
The buildings are essentially of
\ native kind or type common to.
day; nearly all retain some orig
inal wooden stakes embedded in
the walls; there is no trace of in
scriptions on any of the ruins;
stone and iron implements were
found together; neither the build
ings nor the other articles found
show traces of early oriental or
European influence; finally, the
discovery of pieces of blue and
white Nankin china and other ar.
ticles of medieval manufacture
in the lowest parts of the fOunda-
tons proves that such commodi-
ties were the object of barter
before the buildings were erected.
Mr.. MacIver maintains that the
ruins were originally fortified
places, usually inclosing a kOpje
built in the form of rough ellipse
following mainly the contour of
the surrounding country. The so.
called slave pits, described as pit
dwellings,, were originally cita
deIs of their strong places, round
which concentric circles of walls
were built.

NO AILINc WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice VIII
Help Many a Sufferer in
Hopkinsville.

No woman can be healthy and well
if thekidneys are sick. PoisOns that
pass off IN the urine when the KID
neys are well are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick
Kidneys and bladder get inflamed or
swollen, crowding the delicate fe-
male organs nearby and sometimes
displacing them. This is the true
cause of many bearing-down pains,
lameness, backache. sideache, etc.
Uric poisoning also causes headache,
dizzy spells languor, nervousness
and rheumatic pain.
When suffering, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are well.
Let a HopkinsviIle woman tell you
about Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. w. H. Robb, wife of w. H.
Robb, machinist, employed at the
Forbes & Cos. wagon works, and re-
siding at 1929 High ST., says: | hard
" knew what it was to be free from
an aching back and the irregular ac-
ton Of the kidneys caused at the
same time other symptoms which
were distressing and oftimes exas-
perating. read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and the symptoms which 1t
was claimed it would cure seemed so
much like mine that ! had my hus-
band get box at Thomas & Ira
hern's drug store. | found that they
gave me almost immediate relief
and continued taking them for some
time. They did me more good than
all the kidney medicine | had ever
taken put together and the results
of the treatment justify me in sub
my name to a hearty en-
of your remedy"

FRIcATE CONSTITUTION.
Magnifcence of Our New Navy Must
Not Drown the Glories of the
the old War Vessels.

The magnifcence of the new
navy must not blind patriots to
the gIories of the old. Pain, not
without humiliation, must be felt
throughout the country at the
news which comes from Charles
town navy yard that the Constitu-
ton, long though not quite accu-
rately known as the first ship of
the American navy, and better
still as ''OId IrOnsides," is in dan
ger of sinking at her dock says
the Churchman.
Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar
was able to take place of honor
at the great jubilee naval review,
and promises to be an inspiration
still to generations of English
youth. Republics are proyerbially
less grateful. Half a century ago
it was proposed to break up the
old ship as unfit for service, and
only the indignant inspiration of
Oliver Wendell Holmes "Old Iron
sides" saved the vessel, which
now carries, inscribed on its quar-
ter-deck with noble pathos, the
historic words of Lawrence
"Dan't give up the ship" But,
though kept, the Constitution was
not preserved as she might have
been. Some years ago, at a time
when the country was spending
$50, 100000 year on its navy,
hardly more than half as much as
now, bill was passed by congress
authorizing the secretary of the
navy to restore the Constitution,
as far as might be, to its original
form, removing the housing that
dis6gured it, replacing the cannon
and the rigging, masts and spars
of the Daughters of the War Of
1912 would raise the money topay
for it. They have not yet accom-
plished the task, and it is to bt
feared that before they can hope
to accomplish it this mute witness
Z to the greatest glory Of our Ameri
can navy will have persisted for
I ever.
