Dog Prisoner at Work.

The dog poisoner was out Saturday
night and distributed his poisonous
buttons throughout the town. AS is
generally the case number Of valua-
able hunting dogs are dead, and the
same number of worthless ours are
roaming the streets. 1t is claimed by
some that the dog poisoner goes so far
as to throw the poison into yards The
person that does this should be found
out and given the extreme penalty of
the law. 1t is cruel, inhuman and in
open violation of the law and steps
should be taken to locate the person.
Several dogs were killed Saturday
right that never left their home only
when they followed their masters and
had on them when killed a tag show
ing tax had been paid on them.
Mr.. J. M. Brennan, who lost his fine
red Irish setter, Elk" by an interur-
ban car running over him several
weeks ago, was unfortunate enough to
have a mate to him killed by the
poisoning route Saturday night.

Compliments Our superintendent

The Beattyville News says: 1.-The
Teachers Institute of Lee County
was in session last week, with Pref.
George w. Chapman Superintendent OF
the Paris City Schools, as the instruc-
tor. Every teacher in the county was
in attendance and they were delighted
with the strong, earnest, scholarly
addresses made by Prof. Chapman. He
is beyond doubt one of the ablest and
most practical instructors in the State.
He has the spirit of the true teacher
and has the ability to infuse his spirit
and enthusiasm linton the teachers and
make them feel their responsibility
and appreciate their golden Opportuni-
ties. Tuesday night Prof. Chapman
delivered his lecture, The Develop
ment of Liberty which was both
scholarly and eloquent. -

product.
eff the Partisan journalists are
course and ungallant in their manner
of recording their disappointment, that
is because they are'not educated up to
the Kentucky standard of gallantry.
Thirty Partisan women sent to Louis
vile would have been acclaimed as
queens of their sex, though they were
as ugly as Xantcippe. That's one of
the many differences between Paris,
France, and Paris, Kentucky.
AS matter of international COM
ity, however, we would advise these
lippant:s, Parisianl Journalists to be
mighty keerful how they express them
selves on the.subject in the hearing of
the young women from Kentucky.
Marse Henry s.beauties may be beau
ties or not-that is perhaps a matter
of taste-but they certainly do know
how to take care of themselves. -

Attempted Suicide.
r. B. HUTCHCRAF1

= VIM. Rose, colored, of Centerville,
attempted suicide Friday by shooting
himself in the breast with a SO caliber
revolver. Rose was to have been mar
ried on Thursday and after dressing for
the wedding and going to the home Of
his bride-to-be, he found that his love
had gone and married another fellow.
The boys were teasing him about it
Friday morning and he went home and
tried to END his life. The ball went
through his lung and was taken out
near the backbone by DR.. Arthur
Keller, of this city.

A Defense of Kentucky Bea uties
In Paris,

The Morning Telegraph Of New Y ork
objects to the ungallant criticism of
the French press on the beauty Of the
Courier-J ournal delegation of pOpulari-
ty contest winners, and sizes up the
Sunday editions in the following:
1.-The Gaewar of Baroda could not
bring himself to admire the beauty Of
American girls, and frankly said so.
He found them piquant, sufficient,
full of enterprise, but not nearly SO
beautiful as the dark-skinned houris of
his own jurisdiction.
Now Paris adds its knock to the
knock of the Goekwar. Thirty Ken
lucky girls sent over on an excursion
to the French capital by Colonel Wat
terson's paper. in Louisville have.-so far
disappointed the Parisians that they
are bowling with decision at these
types of American beauty. The
Partisan reporters have caught, by way
of London, the American slang express
sion, Peach Are these the peaches?
they are asking. Thank you, we pre-
fer fruit of our own growing. Never.
says the ungallant L'EclaIr. did feet
so immense support so little beauty"
"Such extremity of expression, of
course, defeats and confutes itself.
Kentucky women are beautiful when
they are beautiful-and their feet are
no larger and no smaller. than the feet
of other normal and we'll nourished per-
sons of their sex. The French wits
have been prepared by the comic news
papers of two continents to expect a
consignment of transcendant beauty
when they heard that Marse Henry
was sending over thirty picked young
women from the State of the Blue
Grass.
"Of course they have been disap-
pointed. The young women were pick
ed, not for their beauty, but for their
popularity, in Louisville. They may
or may not be good looking. But even
if they were peerless Venuses, every
one, Paris would have been disappoint-
