He visited the shoemakcr's for shoes
the hatter's for hat. the grocer's for
groceries, and 50 on, and when he got
back home in the evening he found that
he mad left his umbrella behind him
somewhere.
Accordingly. the next morning. the
old man set out again in quest Of the
lost umbrella. He was unlucky at first
The seventh shop he visited was the
one wherein his umbrella turned up.
WELL he said, after thanking the
ShopmaI. as he started out. with the
recovered umbrella under. his arm. Il
must say YOU are more honest here
than they are at those other shops"

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Flynn, Of Mitchell bay, was entirely
destroyed by fire last Saturday.
All their household furniture, bed
ding and clothing, except the gar
ments which they wore, was lost.
The loss falls quite heavily upon them
as there was no insurance either upon
the house or contents. The fire IS
saio to have caught in Mrs. F1ynn's
bedroom but the cause is mystery.
It occurred about 10 o'cock in the
forenoon. Although no aid has been
asked by them quite nice little sum
has been cheerfully subscribed this
week by friends, acquaintances and
others to assist them.

Are You From KeutuckyP

These are the first words which
appear upon u very attractive
invitation sent out from Louisville to
Kentuckians in all parts Of the United
States.
From June 18th to 18th, 1906 there
is to be in Louisville, Ky, a "Home
Coming" for all Kentuckians who
have wandered to other lands or
foreign shores. The Louisville Com
mercial Club is sending out the
invitations as fast as lists are received
with the names and addresses of
Kentuckians in different sections Of
the country.
There will be "great doings" in
Louisville. Mr.. Henry Watterson has
been invited to deliver the chief
address of welcome, and former
Governor David R. Frances of
Missouri, the response. Among the
others invited to appear on the
programme are former U. S. Senators
VIM. Lindsay and John G.. Carlisle, of
New York City, Associate Justice
John M. Harlan, of the U, s. Supreme
Court, former Governor Thomas T,
Crittenden, of Missouri, and former
Vice. President Adlai E. Stevenson, Of
Illinois. This list will be enlarged
with the names of other Kentuckians
who, in adopted homes, have marked
their anne high on the roll of fame
in the law, the ministry, and
commercial pursuits.
While Louisville will be the host
city, all Kentucky will join in the
welcome to its returning m and
daughters. The railroads will at
once be askec to name low rates to
Louisville, and in addition to this, it
is proposed to have side trip tickets
from Louisville to any part of
Kentucky, so that the returning
Kentuckians may visit any part of the
state.
So as to insure no discomforts in the
way of lack OF railroad accomodations,
Mr.. William Flannelly, Travelling
Passenger Agent of the Southern
Railway, lodated in the Board of
Trade Building, Kansas City, Mo-, has
already begun to arrange the details
for the operation of special trains
over his line from st. Louis to
Louisville, and even at this early date,
he is receiving a great many inquiries
as to reservations, etc.
Farmers ale generally conceded to
be the best informed of all classes Of
American citizens. This is not
because they read more than others,
but because their reading matter is
better selected, is read under conditions
less %distracting and more favorable to
recollection, and therefore is better
digested and more firmly retained.
Even in the busiest seasons, farmers
keep up with current events and know
fully as we'll as town felix's what is
going on in the world. Their families,
too, are well posted on current events.
To supply this high grade demand for
general information. The Farmer
and Stockman, of Kansas City, Mo,
conducts a department of "Currenl
events and Comments" which brief
sets forth all the large events of the
times, emitting minor details. This

by a trained journalist and is of great
value to farmers and their families,
