The cheerful man knows that
there is much misery, but that
misery need not be the rule of
life.
The cheerful man sees that
every where the good out bal

evil has it's compensating balm.
A habit Of cheerfulness en-
ables one to transmute apparent
misfortune into real blessings.
He who has formed habit of

NATIVE OF ADAIR.

Lawrence H. Cravens, who
was arrested Tuesday as a de-
serter from the United States
army, is in double trouble. Ow-
ing to his physical condition and
the belief that he would have to
be sent to the hospital instead of
the military prison, the recruit
ing officer stationed in Louisville
deemed it best to release GRAY
ems.
He was ordered to be released
by Jailer ]. R. PfanZ Thursday
morning. No sooner had Cravens
stepped into the office of the Jail
than he was rearrested by B. l..
Bruner, Deputy United States
Marshal.
The warrant on which Cravens
was arrested the second time was
issued on information furnished
by j. A. Conyers, Of Glasgow,
KY, and charges Cravens with
selling whisky without paying
the Government special tax.
Cravens Immediately was placed
in jail to await the action of the
Federal grand jury. It is proba-
bic that Cravens will ask for an
immediate trial, so that he can
either prove himself innocent of
the charges or plead guilty and
begin his sentence. Courier

EAST FORK.

The death angel visited the
home of ]. N. Pulliam on the 4th,
and claimed as it's victim, his
aged companion, Eliza b et h.
They had been married about fiji
ty years, and raised a respect
able family of children, all OF
whom are married and heads of
families. Sister Pulliam was a
devoted Christian, and stated a
few days before her death that
in the past two years she had
three times read the entire New
Testament, and as a result, dur
ing her four months of constant
suffering, she was enabled to
bear her Affections with patience,
and frequently expressed her
faith in God, and in the hour OF
death shouted and sang praises to
God, testifying to the fact that
she was going to rest. Saturday
morning the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. W. j.
Levi, and the remains laid to
rest in the family burying
ground. To the bereaved family
we extend our deepest sympathy.
On account of the funeral serv-
ice Saturday, church meeting
was omitted, and in the after
ternoon, the ordinance of bap-
tism was administered to five or
six.
Miss Lena. the daughter of
MIR. James Harris, is in a del
icate state of health.
The citizens of Bridgeport are

A MIGHTY STRUGGLE.

The forces of good and evil
are continuing their strenuous
fight for supremacy and every
where the world over and es-
pecially so in our own country,
the fight is daily increasing in
severity. President Roosevelt is
following the good example set
by Gov. Folk of Mo-, and Mayor
Weaver, of Philadelphia and is
pushing his fight for railroad and
trust regulation. He is now en-
gagged against the Standard Oil
Company, the greatest monopoly
of modern or ancient times and
this together with his struggles
against the monster railroad cor
porations, keeps him hustling,
His worst enemy in the fight is
the United States Senate who
opposed him bitterly in every
measure undertaken for the pub
lie veal, but some of the leading
daily journals and weekly and
monthly magazines of great in
fiuence are now leading their
powerful aid against the sena-
torial hirelings of the trusts and
some are showing signs of weak
ening under the steady fire of
the 18th inch editorial guns. The
good will undoubtly, finally pre-.
vail, because a higher authority
than any human agency has de-
creed it.

nd touches his manner with

and touches his manner with

It was Lincoln's cheerfulness
and sense of humor that enabled
him to stand up under the terri
BILE load of the Civil War.
If we are cheerful and content
ed all nature smiles with us; the
air is balmier, the sky clearer,
the earth has a brighter green,
the trees have a richer foliage,
the flowers are more fragrant,
the birds sing more sweetly, and
the sun, moon and stars are
more beautiful.
All good thought and good ac-
ton claim a natural alliance with
good cheer. It is the normal at

High-minded cheerfulness is
found in great souls, self-poised
and confident in their own heav-
en-aided powers.

TARIFF REFORM IN ILLINOIS.

Every boy who ever played
marbles or shot at a jay bird
knows that /" a miss is as good
as a mile," and Illinois Republi-
cans are beginning now to know
that they missed it by a mile at
least in not carrying all twenty
five of the congressional districts
of the State in 1904, instead of
letting Congressman Henry T.
Rainey, of the Twentieth Dis
trict, get in as the lone Democrat
in the Illinois delegation.
Mr.. Rainey has weighted some
good leverage in the Democratic
heave-to to lift the Republican
lid from Western river improve
ments, but it is as an echo of
Illinois's demands in the reci-
procity convention that Rainey's
vioce in the House is least me-
lodious to Illinois machine Re-
publicans.
In the reciprocity convention
both the Illinois Senators spoke
oothingly of tariff reform, but
they and every one of the twenty
four Republican members of the
House from Illinois have been
dumb on the subject ever since
the session openec.
But Mr.. Rainey has not allow
ed standpatters to forget that
tariff reform is a live issue this
year and he has lucidly shown
Illinois voters who cultivate the
virtue of punctuality how they
are mulcted in the purchase of
timepieces by the highly protect
ed Watch Trust.
Illinois growers of unprotected
wheat, hogs and cattle may ex-
pect from him something more
about the way their foreign mar
kets are sacrificed to the inter-
ests of the Dingleyites, who, in
addition, make them pay tribute
on their shirts, their shoes, their
coats, their blankets, the pots
and pans in which their meals
are cooked, the implements with
which their crops are planted
and the harvesting machinery
with witch they are gathered.
Illinois farmers are great stick
lers for fair taxes. Before this
years campaign is done they are
likely to have from Mr.. Rainey
and from many other sources
itemized statements of the rob-
Der taxes they pay every time
they put hand into pocket to buy
anything that isn't otherwise
taxed by the internal revenue
laws. st Louis Reptile.

BRITAIN PUTS UP
BARS TO ALIENS
Harder Now for Inmi grants to
Enter the Domain of
+. King Edward.

London, Jan. 1.-The aliens act,
passed at the last session Of parlia-
ment, came into force today. The first
effect Of the new law was that the i'm
migration officers refused to permit the
landing of twenty-four Of forty-two
immig grants from Germany.
The aliens act prohibits immigrants
from landing in Great Britain except
at ports where an immigration officer
is stationed, and only with his consent
and afters a medical inspection. I'm
migrants may be refused permission to
land if unable to show that they are
in a position to obtain means to keep
themselves decently; if. insane, if on
account Of disease or other causes they
are likely to become a charge to tax
payers; if they have been sentenced
abroad for an extraditable crime not
of a political nature, Or if they have
previously been expelled from Great
Britain. The home secretary may also
order the expulsion Of an alien on a
certificate from court Of law.
The bill, however, provides that an
alien shall not be refused permission to
land on account Of want Of means if
able to prove that he or she is seeking
admission to Great Britain solely tc

DICK TO FOSTER
RIFLE SHOOTING

BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Under the lead
ership of Senator Dick of Ohio, a move
ment is being projected for the en-
enlargement Of rifle shooting turnout
the country, much after the manner in
which the same thing was done in
England after the Boer war, by the or
ganization of rifle clubs under the lead
ership of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Senator Dick has prepared a bill which
it is expected will, if it passes, cause
the national guard in every state to
take the lead in the study Of markham
ship, and the example thus set VII! pc
followed by the organization OF civil,
ian rife clubs. under the patronage OF
the national government.
Senator Dicks bill appropriated
100000 for general militia purposes
but provides that a portion Of this sun
shall be used for the "promotion OF
rife practice, including the acquisition
construction, maintenance and equip
ment Of shooting galleries and suitable
target ranges
The same bill will be urged in thu
house by Representative Morrell Of
Pennsylvania, chairman Of the houst
committee on militia.
The national board will meet II
Washington in January, as will the as
ISOLATION Of officers Of the nationa
guard, and it is expected that the Dicl
Morrell bill will receive an impetu
from these meetings. Should the bill
pass, ranges and shooting gallerie
would be open to civilian clubs undo
ref ulations approved by the secretar..
Of war.

GIRDLED SPHERE
AS New Year Was Born the Amer.

Around the World.
journal snecial Service,

Journal Special SERVICE
Washington, Jan. AT the birth OF
the new year, a greeting Of the. season
was sent turnout the entire civilize
world from the United States naval
observatory, under the direction of
Commander f. E. Hayden. This greet:
ing was in the form Of a time signal
announcing the arrival Of the midnight
hour at the. capital of the United
States. It was sent to all the capitals
of all the leading nations of the world
and to about two thousand five hundred
cities in the United States, and to the
possessions Of Uncle Sam in Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Guam.
An arrangement was made by Com.
mander Haydan with the management
of the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies to send out the greet
ings A few minutes before. midnight
the long Geographic circuit circling the
globe was made up. A clock at the
observatory was attached to the circuit.
In the clock was q wheel which turned
every second and formed q contact
with the electric current. This wheel
was connected with the pendulum OF
the clock and as the seconds passed the
ticks were transmitted over the wire
by means of the contact which Il
made and broken as the pendulum
swings back and forth. At 1l:59 this
wheel was thrown out and replaced BY
another, which transmitted every tenth
second. This new wheel held open thu
circuit until midnight, when the tele
graph circuits were closed and the
time balls turnout the United State:
announced the birth Of the new year.
