If the weather and condition of the
grounds permit, Paris High School base
ball team will open its season next Satur-
day with game with Hebron Academy
on the high school grounds. The team
did its first outdoor practice Monday OF
last week, but the snow OF that night
made it impossible for them to do any
more outdoor work until Saturday. The
team this year will be younger and light
er than for several years, but the boys
are confident that they will be able to
make a good showing with the high
school teams in their class. Let us hope
that they will have very successful sea
son and escape from the accident whicn
so seriously crippled the team last sea-
son.

THE LIAR AND THE THIEF

The best line President Roosevelt
uttered in his "muck-rake" speech
was this:
The liar Is no whit better than
the thief"
IL was worth more than n thousand
platitudes. II no had said nothing
moro than that. II Is worth while.
President Roosevelt had in mind
particularly the wilIful liar who as
saults public characters without re-
gard for fact 'If his mendacity
takes the form OF SANDER" he added
he may be worse than most thieves. 3"
Between vigor and venom there Is
all the difference in the world. As
the President says: THE soul Of
every scoundrel is gladened when
ever an honest man is assailed. or
even when a scoundrel Is untruth-
fully assaulted - New York World.

The wizard of on

The wizard of o." Fred r. Ham,
Inns big production, that had such a
long run in New York, comes to The
Kentucky on Monday night of next
week. There are so many amusing
features in the entertainment that
II is not to be wondered at that "The
Wizard" has become one of the big
gest drawing cards now before the
public. There are one or two stage
effects alone which, had there been
nothing more, would have made
"The Wizard" famous, noticeably the
cyclone, the poppy field, the snow
storm and the accompanying trans
formation. 1t must be admitted
however, that THE Wizard" is de-
pendent for its success to a great ex-
tent on the Scarecrow and the Tin
Woodman. These two characters
form the very backbone of the play,
and the comedy scenes are practical
ly all allotted to them.

ONLY A JOKE
Was That Yarn About Frank Just's
Fortune.

Frank Just, the barber, came into
a fictitious fortune amounting to
SIS, 900 yesterday afternoon-due to
the vivid coloring of a reporters
misunderstanding of an intended
joke.
Just was made the recipient of
SIS, 900 in cash without the due pro-
cess of legal notification from the
administrator, executor or attorney.
in the publication, and it was as
much news to him as II was to the
public. Just does not deny that he
would like to have come into this
much money, but regrets that his at
tempt at a joke should be taken with
such seriousness.
Just stated this morning that he
had come into no money and was
likely not to. His uncle in Indian
apolis died three years ago leaving
$1,000 to Just's father.
This is as near as Just ever came
to a $4,000 or any other kind of
fortune.

Mr.. T. b. Pugh, door-keeper of the

name for the gallery at The Ken

could not have been secured.
Mr.. Pugh calls them "savages, "
and he came near hitting the mark
for nothing could any more resem-
bic a party of savages at times, than
this conglomerated mass of humani-
ty when IL does start its rowdyism.
This is his first year as gallery door
keeper. He was called as a witness
in a case in police court this week,
where one boy was charged with dis
turbing a public assemblage by start
ing a fight in the gallery. Mr.. Pugh
stated that he knew nothing about
the fight, as he was in another por-
tion of the gallery when the "sav-
ages" began. His remark called
forth a general laugh-even the
court indulging in it.

FEW OFFENSES.
Are Committed Against the I. G. on
This Division Now.

Mr.. ]. d. King, special agent OF the
Louisville division of the /. c., was
in the city last night on business.
There are comparatively few Of
lenses committed against the rail-
roads now, and the special agent,
who was a conspicuous figure in rail-
road circles for the past several
years, is losing prominence-due to
the falling off. Formerly box cars
were broken into and robbed and
many acts of vandalism committed
on the road, and the special agent
was kept busy looking after the cul-
prits. Now the times have appar-
emily grown better.
