In the initial number of the Lyon

pearance at Eddyville last Saturday
appears an interesting article from
the pen OF former State Senator n.
w. Utley, in which he asserts that he
was probably the last Kentucklan
who shook hands with and conversed
with Dick Tate, the noted defaulting
state treasurer OF Kentucky. Il was
In 1888, when Senator Utley was a
missionary In the Methodist church
in Japan. There he met the man in
several different places. conversed
with him as to Kentucky politics and
Kentucky people. Letters afterward
read by Senator Utley in Frankfort,
SO he writes, tended to strengthen
the opinion that the man he met in
Japan was no other than Dick Tate.

TIE GENTLE SEX
"Naepinev Women

1t is a physician who expresses the
opinion that nine times out Of ten the
woman who nags is tired. Times out
of mind her husband Is to blame.
The cases that come under the physi-
clans eye are those iof the women who
are tired, and who have been tired so
long that they are suffering from some
form of nervous disease.
They pay think that they are only
tired but in fact, they are i'll. In such
cases the woman often suffers more
from her nagging than her husband or
the children with whom she finds fault.
she knows she does it. She does not
intend to do It. She suffers in her
own self-respect when she does it, and
in the depth of her soul longs for some-
thing to stop it. The condition is usu-
ally brought on by broken sleep, i'm
proper food, want of some other exer-
else than house keeping, and enough
out-of-door air and practical objective
thinking.
1t is often the most unselfsh and
most affectionate of women who fall
into this state. They are too much
devoted to their families to give them
selves enough of any healthy exercise
and diversion, enough maps, perhaps,
or concerts.

unthinkable injustice 10 poor women
