Modern Show.

There has been many changes in the
methods Of doing business Il the differ
ent lines within the past few years but
in none have the changes been more
marked than in the modern railroad
show. The show given by Lentz &
Robenson Is the result Of thirty years
experience and in every department is
witnessed wonderful improvement over
the old-time exhibition.
The acrobatic acts are more difficult
the horses and ponies are better trained
and the clowns funnier than ever be-
fore. Each performer is engaged with
view TO proficiency in his or her par
ticular line. and this idea Is carried out
IN every department. Don't fail TO see

greetings the other day with Mr..
Andrew WOodall, the old patriarch Of
Piney Greek.
In answer to a question he said.
IL do not know how old am. have
been told that IL live until the 18th.
day Of the coming October will be
eighty years old"
The Old mans step is elastic, his
upright bearing firm and his eye is as
clear and penetrating as Il was sixty
years ago. With long beard waving
in the breeze and strong voice he
said:
"Yes, ] am nearly eighty years old.
] have been here a long time and |
will not remain much longer. The
time Of my departure is nearly at
hand and young man. the beauty Of Il
all is that am not afraid to 10.

Uncle Andy Woodall is known all
over this county. He is a member Of
Piney Creek Baptist church and has
lived consistent christian life in all
things for over half a century. His
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren would make quite an
army Of people. The latch string to
his front door has hung on the outside
for many years. We think We are
safe in asserting that more people have
been fed at his table than any other in
Cnttenden county.
THE RECORD trusts that his last
days may be full Of peace.

FARMERS
INSTITUTES
viii be Held All Over State
This Fall
BEGINNING ABOUT SEPT. |.
Commissioner VreeIand Writes Our
County President Regarding
The Matter.
BEGINNING ABOUT SEPT. |.
GOOD THING FOR COMMONWEALTH.
Mr.. ]. Frank Conger, Pres,

Mr.. J. Frank Conger, Pres,
My Dear Sir: am now engaged in
preparing schedule for the Farmers
Institutes to be held in Kentucky dur
ing the coming institute season which
will open not later than September /.
This Department will hold at least one
institute in every county in the State
this year and as soon as the schedule
is completed II will be published so that
every county will know just when its
annual institute will be held. These
dates will be made to conform to the
wishes Of the various clubs as nearly
as possible, but as the holding Of 119
Institutes is such tremendous under
taking it will be necessary to proceed
with system and to take the counties
consecutively from the starting points.
There will be two lecture forces: one
for the eastern section and one for
the central and western. These forces
will be kept going constantly until the
entire State has been covered. You
will readily realize that this viii en-
tail considerable hard work and hearty
cooperation Of the farmers will aid
the Department greatly in carrying
cut The project. The best lecturers
to be found will be employed and with
the aid Of the farmers, have no
hesitancy in saying that this move
ment will be fraught with more prac-
teal results than any movement ever
set on foot in the State. therefore
respectfully urge that every farmer
lend helping hand and assist in max
ing institute work in Kentucky what
il is in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and other
progressive agricultural States. Ken
lucky has the soil and climatic con-
ditions that should make her take
front rank in the line Of agricultural
States and II is my earnest desire
that she should take the place that
is rightfully hers.
As you are probably aware. the last
Legislature increased the appropriation
Of this Department $50, ZOO. making
the total appropriation for institute
work and the general conduct Of the
office SSS, 600 annually instead Of sl3,
600. Without the cooperation Of the
farmers ] could not have brought this
Bureau into such prominence as to
cause the Legislative Body Of our
State to increase the appropriation to
such an extent when only short
while ago il was regarded as n mere
drain on the public funds. II Is there
fore my earnest desire to bring this
department as close TO the people as
possible and in that way alone do |
hope TO make Il Of practical value to
each and every farmer in the State Of
Kentucky.
Feeling assured that you will help
me to give the results | pledged you
when ! was entrusted with the man.
agement Of this Office. and assuring
you that this Department stands
ready at all times to aid the farmers
Of your county and Of the State in a
practical way, beg to remain
Very sincerely yours.

Commissioner.

and only hurts the treasury of the
United States and yet we have an
elaborate system Of inspection thrown
around these agencies of the govern
ment that are marvels of completeness.
The admission Of Bank Examiner
Jones in Chicago last week ought to
be warning to our legislators. He
said they had to take the bankers word
and that it was an impossibility to get
in touch with depositors and the max
ers or endorsers of notes. That ad-
mission is terrible indictment Of the
existing order Of things.

CONGRESSMAN JAMES
BACK FROM ENGLAND
Relates Experiences Encountered While on His
Trip Across the Water.

this congress the official language in
which all the business was transacted
was French. You understand that the
court language Of Europe is French,
and that reminds me Of the most won
derful man ] have ever seen in my life.
| do not recall his name. He is an
Englishman and the finest stenogra-
pher in the world today. Hon. Camp
bell-Bannermrn, the foremost British
statesman Of this day, made a speech
in French. While he was speaking
this wonderful short hand writer wrote
II down in short hand and Immediately
after Campbell-Ba -Bannerman took his
seat he arose and without hesitation
and seemingly without looking at his
short hand notes, he delivered the
speech verbatim in Russian. This was
done for the reason that Campbell
Bannerman's speech referred TO the
Russian delegates from the Douma and
TO the fact that the Gar had just dis
banded the Douma and these delegates
were therefore without authority to sit
in our congress. In this speech all |
could understand was Vivi La Douma,
which means Long live the Douma.
Mr.. Bryan made a speech and in the
course Of his remarks referred to the
death Of Lord Nelson at Trafalgar, +,
pointing TO Nelson's picture on the
wall. This wonderful short hand man
Immediately delivered Mr. Bryan's
speech in French and although ! could
not understand Il yet when he turned
to Lord Nelson's picture as Mr.. Bryan
did and repes. ID the name Nelson. !
noticed the cheering among the French
was as vigorous as il mad been among
the English. This short hand linguist.
who seemed to be endowed with super
natural powers. wore a long beard and
continually kept one glass in his eye
after the manner Of Englishmen.
Observing that the Rounder was
about to ask a question Mr.. James
continued.
my wife was with me on this trip
and she enjoyed it immensely. We
stayed at the Hotel Metropole in London
DO you know London hotels do not
compare with ours? There is not a
hotel in London with private telephones
in every room Seelbaehs or the Lou
isville hotel in our own Kentucky are
way ahead Of them in all the little
short cuts Of labor saving nature, as
well as convenienees. We were treated
splendidly and were entertained at the
Windsor palace Of the king Of England.
The English are a fine race Of
people. The climate ever there is
delightful. We our winter clothes
all the time and were comfortable.
We got caught in only one fog. but a
fog in England In the summer is moth
ing to compare to a fog in the winter. 4"
The scribe noticed from the ease
with whish Mr.. James was speaking
and the difficulty the aforesaid scribe
experienced in speaking that the ques-
ton Of Kentucky politics was so far
behind by this time that Il was exceed.
ingly doubtful II il ever entered again
into this conversation. Therefore
thanking Mr.. James for so much Of his
time the Rounder was bowed out Of
his Office to the tune Of the same an
gelic smile that he entered.

Former Governor Bradley.

A Washington dispatch says that
President Roosevelt has decided to make
former Gov. Bradley the distributing
agent Of republican patronage in Ken
tueky and that Mr. Yerkes will likely
resign as he returns from Europe. The
appointment Of the postmasters in
Louisville and Shelbyville against the
protests Of Mr.. Yerkes are named as
specimens Of Bradley's strength. Il is
further stated that Bradley will become
the republican candidate for governor

congress from this the first district,
arrived in Marion from his trip to
London last Saturday night and covered
with loose suit of linen and much
perspiration, he greeted his many
friends and acquaintance and unfolded
his plans and aspirations.
Believing that a few words on the
important question Of whether or not
he would enter the gubernatorial race
would interest Crittenden county peo-
pie and others, THE RECORD rounder
tackled the bug congressman in his lair
and pumped the question Ike shot
out Of a gun at short range.
"Mr. James will you or will you not
enter the arena and make a fight for
the nomination for governor"
With a broad angelic smile he settled
back in large arm chair and replied,
mo. this suit Of clothes was not
bought In London. Don't you know
American home grown clothes when
you see them? This is a suit Of linen
that bought in New York, and by
the way they are very appropriate for
the weather we are having over here.
Why don't you sit DOWN. How are all
the folksl"
The RECORD rounder was fresh in
the attack and guileless as to the ex-
pedieney Of the hour and so ventured.
But Mr.. Congressman you have
been e'ectcd by the votes Of all the
people. You sprang from the people
and they feel that these matters are
not altogether personal in tkeir
nature"

replied.

Mexican Indians.

One of the most popular theor-
les with respect to the North
American Indians is that they
are the lost tribes of Israel who
wondered across Asia and enter
ed America by Boring straits.
But now a new idea has just
been put toward, for it appears
that a Turk who is living in
Mexico was very much surprised
when out walking in the country
near the capital, to hear the
natives speaking in Language
which greatly resembled his
own.
He spoke to them IN Turkish,
and found that he could make
out what they said.
The case hasbeen submitted to
an Amercain profess or of philo-
logy. and his report is awaited
with some INTEREST, as it will be
crions, to say the least of, it if
he can establish an anology be-
tw cen the dilacts of be Mexican
Indian and Turks. The Sketch.
