JUST A THOUGHT.

The following little poem was writ
ten by one of the best known men in
Paducah. 1t was an inspiration due
to a rummage through an old chest.
when in looking for some trifes, he
found the first pair of sox he ever
wore He showed the composition to
a number OF his friends and at their
request gave it to The Sun for pub
lieation on the condition :. that his
name be withheld.
''OnIy a Little Pair Of Baby Shoes :"
Only little pair OF baby socks my
mother knit for me.
They are the sweetest and cutest lit
tie pair of sccks ever you did see.
Oh, how / love the children for they
remind me when | was young,
Sitting on mothers knee when she
was knitting that little pair Of
baby socks for me.
Only a little pair Of baby socks my
mother knit for me,
Others had property, stocks and
bonds galore; but they are gone.
Sqnandered. by society which they
= worshipped evermore.
Their children were neglected, their
papa was detected, and when
their
Mother called she was snubbed. Oh.
how happy that family now
would be
If that mother had remained at home,
her baby on her knee
And knit little pair of baby socks
like mother knit for me.
Now ! am old and gray, soon shall
pass away.
But when Christmas comes in happy
dreams I'm young and gay,
And hang up my little pair of baby
socks that mother knit for me.
When time or tide shall wash me
from this earthly shore.
I'll be met and led by loving hands
back to my same old happy homo
Transplanted in the sky I'll be reborn
in baby form rocked to sleep on
mothers knee.
And then can wear that little pair OF
baby socks my mother knit for
me

Despite the flank attacks of the
Sunday humorists. and the direct pro-
tests OF uncompromising minds, ath-
letics in schools, instead of waning,
are spreading until from college to
academy and thence to High school,
they are now considered as a depart
ment worthy of the attention and en-
enlargement of the faculty. The rea-
son school men cultivate sports so
assiduously is plain to see; they are
thus enabled to keep in school, and
enthusiastically in school. the full
blooded unrestrainable youth, who
heretofore has been quitting in the
eighth grade; they diminish the use
of tobacco and narcotics among the
boys'fn training; they foster a de-
sirerfor muscular development in
youths that gives promise of a new
generation of physical giants. Ath,et-
ics as mamie sted in the rougher
games are of no direct benefit physi-
cally to the scholars, because only
those who do not need the training
are able to play the games, but the
example sci by the players and the
pride they instill in the school. serve
to create spirit of emulation in the
youths of the lower grade. Boys will
be boys and anything that will keep
the boys in school. maintain their
interest and encourage them to vol
unfairly abstain from things hurtful
TO their physical, moral and Intellect
ual development is a good thing that
should be fostere1.

How can an, 8ne say in a breath
that the tariff did not accomplish
what is claimed for II and that for
eign countries will establish retalla-
tory tariffs. Why do not foreign
countries profit by our experience, or
do they not? It would be more con-
sistent to say they will follow the
example of our success so far as they
are able; but fortunately for us,
none other has the varied resources
of climate and soil, in so compact a
territory.

During Rlstori's first engagement at
Madrid an elderly woman one night
gained access to her dressing room and
tearfully begged her Intervention on
behalf of her son. Il young soldier con-
demned to death for a serious breach
Of discipline. At the close Of the per-
Torrance Ristori was presented to
Queen Isabella, made the required ap-
peal and obtained the young mans
free pardon, perhaps because it gave to
the queen the opportunity of a mot
that she was certain the actress had
never before played in tragedy with
such happy ending. Some years later
Ristori again visited Madrid. During
the first performance soldier among
the audience made a disturbance, was
elected only after severely damaging
a number Of policemen and was sub
seQuently sentenced to long term of
Imprisonment. He proved to be Ris-
tori's former protege, who, hearing Of
her return, had come to the theater in
order to renew his expression Of graft

New and Old Bank Bills.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting a'cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said cashier. 1T is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. AS
a matter of fact, nine cashiers out Of
every ten try to get rid of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
it. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink Is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal of money. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when in a
hurry to relieve a long line Of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
is no rush. I'd rather pay out mil
lion old bills than hundred new

Running For Exercise.

A professional runner gives the fol-
lowing suggestions for exercise: Rise
at $50 a. m. Put on old clothing, easy
shoes and a sweater. Time for dress
ing, five minutes. Walk one-fourth of
a mile; time, five minutes. Then run
a mile at dog trot in eight minutes,
arranging your circuit of mile and
a quarter so that you will finish at
your door thirteen minutes after start
ing. That exercise will expand your
lungs and stimulate your heart action
and land you at your doorstep at GAS
a. m. painting for breath, thoroughly
exhausted and perspiring at every pore.
You are then ready for your bath and
shave and breakfast and for the nat
ural routine Of the day. The man of
sedentary habits who patiently pur-
sues this exercise may kiss all drugs
goodby.

Case Of Rank Injustice.

Not in years has rank injustice been
dealt to q man as 1t has been to J. T.
Harahan, vice-president of the ILL
nois Central railroad, since the sem
sadonal meeting of the stockholders
Of the company few weeks ago. The
ethical mistreatment accorded Mr..
Harahan has been through press re-
ports emanating from unreliable
sources. During the past ten days all
sorts Of rumors regarding the future
presidency of the Illinois Central have
been circulated, the chief allegation
being the selection of Capt. Grammar
of the New York Central lines to sue
coed Stuyvesant Fish. This story was
out OF whole cloth and was written by
a travelling newspaper space writer.
1t was offered to a number of papers
and refused, and finally accepted by
one from which 1t was telegraphed
throughout the country. The only ex-
PLANTATION Is that the man who wrote
needed the money, for Capt. Grammar
was never offered the presidency OF
the Illinois Central. If Mr.. Fish were
to decline another term as president
1t is quite certain that ]. T. Harahan
would be elected to succeed him.
1t has been Mr.. Harahan more than
any half dozen others who has popu-
iarized the Illinois Central. He has
worked while others slept; has trav-
eled over the big system continuously,
and knows its patrons, passengers and
shippers, the newspapers and legisla-
tors. He never countenances crooked
deal; has been on the level with
everybody, and back Of everything is
the fact that he is one Of the best
operating and traffic managers in the
country. The silly space stories have
worked harm to all concerned-Fish.
Grammar, Harahan and Stubbs-and
furnished no news, and there will be
no real news until the directors meet
