The GuiIIotine.

The machine employed i'm French
public executions has the reputation
Of being the invention of DIR. Guillotin,
but the machine was used long before
the doctor had seen one. All he did
was to publicly encourage preference
for this means of death as being pain
less, and in consequence some one, un-
happily for the doctors humanity,
named the machine after him. The
guillotine was really prepared by a
German mechanic named Schmidt un-
der the direction of DR.. Antonine Louis
and hence at first was called a ''lOu-
lson" or "louisette."
And here 1t may not be out of place
to mention the cOgnate error that Gull
lotin was its first victim. He nearly
became a victim Of the revolution, but
be escaped, and after the ending Of his
political career he resumed his duties
as a physician and became one Of the
founders of the Academy Of Medicine
In Paris. He died May 26, 1914, aged
seventy-siX. but the French revolution
died twenty years earlier. The first
man executed by the guillotine was a
highwayman, who died in 1892.

SURVEYING
NEW ROUTE
Via of Brandenburg-L., II. & ST.
L. is Hunting for Better Road
way East of EkrOn.

The work of surveying a new route
for the Henderson" is still in progress,
the surveyors now being at work just
back of this place, and all indications
point to the location of the road through
or near Brandenburg says the Meade
Messenger.
1t is understood that there is every
likelihood that the desired grade can be
secured which will bring the road to
our door, and at the same time enable
the road to cut down some of its pres
ent heavy grades, and as this is just
what the officials of the road are anx
ious to accomplish, it is aim st sure
that the route now being located will
be adopted as the most feasiable one.
AT special meeting of Brandenburg' S
Commercial Club Monday night, it was
agreed to lend all the encouragement
possible towards the accomplishment OF
this enterprise, the securing of which,
would mean so much to onr towns
growth and future prosperity, and as
matters now stand, our chances are
glowing for being located on a trunk
line of one of the states leading rail-
roads.

RULESFOR USEOF
COLORS IN DRESSING.
Women Now Take More Interest
In COIOrS They Wear Than
Ever Before.

Never have women taken such an
interest In the colors which they
should wear as TINS season says the
New York Sun. A woman studies
herself as she wo1ld the gown she is
buying and It not entirely sure of the
result goes to the color expert, who is
now an Important feature of all the
smart dressmaking or suit establish
ments.
Here are the rules Vt one expert;
Green should never be worn except
by a woman with a very clear skin or
rosy cheeks, and even then 1t should
be set off by the addition of white
red or rose.
To wear rose color against the skin
Is fatal for any bur girl in the first
flush OF youth, ard dead white is equ-
ally damaging except under the same
conditions.
Red is thought to be generally be-
coming, but worn against the skin it
lessons the intensity of brilliant col
,oring, and it should never be worn by
a woman with sallow complexion.
While blue is supposed to be manly
in the province of the blondes, bru-
nettes may wear il, il it is relieved
with orange OF yellow. In laundry
work bluing used upon yellow tenders
it whittier. The same rule holds good
with complexions. Blue tends to
whiten the SKIN of a sallow person.

LEGAL PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

William r. McGarry, a Portland
lawyer, spoke on the Legal Pursuit
of Happiness" at the Peoples Forum
in Portland, as reported by the Tele-
gram, and made it the occasion of ad-
vocating heavy graduated, individ-
ual income tax, as a cure for the en-
croachments of aggrandizing cupidity
and organized wealth. The speaker
attacked the usurious practices of the
capitalistic class.
He declared that this country has
become a nation of wealth, and that
privations no longer are enumerated
among the virtues of social life. Proper
distribution of prosperity will never be
possible, said he, as long as there ex-
lists such a thing as inequality in the
administration of law, or legislative
liberation of wholesale confiscation
of individual production by the favor
ed few.
THE American people are not a
happy and contented people," said
Mr.. McGarry. "TO say so is to insult
common intelligence. We are the
softest and most gullible race of hero
worshippers and incompetents that
has ever in a given space of time, oc-
cupied the earth.
Our ideas of morality and national
honor are absorbed from those who
plunder the country impoverish the
people and defy the government.

recent McCreary- contest
for the federal senatorship.
The dispatches have told US of the
victory of Governor Beckham over his
opponent. He will be democratic can
didate for the office of United States
senator, and of course his nomination
is equivalent to an election. Senator
McCreary was strong in Louisville
and other cities, but Governor Beck
ham ran we'll in the country districts
and had several thousand votes to
spare when the ballots were counted.
The only definite issue between
these candidates for the federal sem
atOrship was their relative positions
on the liquor and local option ques-
tion. Governor Beckham pointed to
his record. He had secured the pass
age of the county unit" local option
bill and other temperance legislation;
he had enforced the Sunday closing
law in Louisvllle-for the first time
in its history-and he had incurred
the enmity Of the organized distillers
and saloon keepers. Senator McCrea-
ry also earnestly disclaimed all SYM
pathy with the demands Of these in
terests. but he had no such record OF
achievement as Beckham.
Formerly the precinct was the unit

but the temperance and prohibition
advocates favored making the county
the unit, and the last Legislature
passed an act effecting that change
As a result II counties have since
