Better a clever enemy than a
fool friend.

rascality.
A cunning man is seldom wise,
and never honest.
Adversely sometimes trans
forms a coward into a hero.
There is no graduating from
the school of experience.
One sinner is apt to rejoice in
the downfall of another.
knowledge Of ones ignorance
is the master key to wisdom.
Every time one man loses his
temper, another gains his point.
A blush is one of the few
things that cannot be- counter
feited.
The bitter dregs of truth are
to be found at the bottom of the
cup.
When a man challenges COM
parson he has to fight against
big odds.
Surely the man who deceives
himself, is an easy mark for
other deceivers.
A man may be short of ideas
and still be able to hand out a
long line of talk.
1t is a mans nature to fall,
but he sometimes fools people by
refusing to do it.
An attempt to judge his future
by his past is enough to discour-
age any man.
An ideal political organization
is one that blindly follows it's

It sometimes comes to pass
that after man has eaten every
thing set before him he wonders
what ails him.

Mrs. Mary Gordon FOnnd Dead
on Road Side.

discovered lying upon the side of the
road the PROSTATE form of a woman
whose clothing resembied that which
his aunt had worn when she departed
from home the day previous.
Alighting from his buggy and going
to the woman, Mr. Hipshire was hor-
rified to find the woman was his aunt.
who was dead and frozen stiff. Re-
turning hurriedly home he notified his
father, William Hipshire. with whom
Mrs. Gordon resided, and together with
the aid of some neighbors they return
ed to the place in the road where the
body lay. and removed the corpse to
the residence, where an inquest was
held by Coroner DR.. William Kenney.
The jury, composed of James H.
Thompson, foreman, and five others,
rendered the following verdict: 1--WE,
the jury, find the body before us to be
that of Mary Gordon and that she came
to her death by exposure.
Mrs. Gordon was aged fifty one years
and went to Lexington Saturday in re-
Spouse to notice from her attorney
TO arrange compromise with the Blue
grass Traction Company, Mrs Gordon
having some time ago met with an ac-
cident in which she suffered a fracture
of the collar bone, and had claim
against the said company for damages.
She was TO have returned on the
o'clock car Saturday afternoon and her
nephew went to meet her. but when
she failed to arrive the family conclud-
ed that business had detained her and
that she had remained with relatives
in Lexington and would return Sunday
morning and gave the matter but little
thought.
Mrs. Gordon, however, came on the
5 o'clock car, which she left at the in
tersection of the Greenwich pike. When
Mrs. Gordon found there was no one to
meet her she started afoot in the direc-
ton of her home, which was nearly one
and one-half miles distant down the
road.
Mrs. Gordon was carrying a number
of bundles, having made some pur-
chases of holiday goods while in Lex
ington, and when almost half way home
she was passed by j. L. Sweeney, a
neighbor. 1t is thought that Mrs. Cor
don becoming tired sat down to rest
and becoming chilled was unable to
proceed any further. and no one COM
ing along who could have rendered her
assistance, she persisted from the cold
when almost in sight of home.
She is survived by one son, Clifton

were boiled for three or four minutes.
Everything was ready. the cooker packed
and closed by half-past ten.
II have Captain Murray's report of this
test and the temperatures of the various
dishes registered when the box was
opened. and think 1t will interest you.
From half-past 10 in the morning until
in the afternoon the fireless stove was
unmolested. Then we opened it and every
article of food was perfectly cooked and
was enjoyed by the bakers and cooks
messes. The ham showed a temperature
of l64 degrees; chicken. 162 degrees; rib
roast. 16O degrees; vegetables, 149 degrees.
As we cannot eat food that is hotter than
1l5 or 12o degrees Fahrenheit without
burning the mouth, the temperatures of
the articles taken from the cooker are
high enough for the satisfaction of the
persons served. To serve articles any
hotter would mean that the diner must
hold his appetite in check until they are
cooled enough to be palatable.
This trial was made at the fort, but a
few days later hunt was planned and
the new cooker was given an out-of-door
test. ABOUT Sixty persons made up the
party. Luncheon was cooked while break
fast was under way so there need be no
worrying with 1t when the hunt was over.
"Creamed chicken. ham, roast beef and
coffee were cooked for few minutes and
placed in the fireless' by O'Clock. The
box was put on the escort wagon and
dragged over rough roads a distance Of
ten miles from the fort

ended and sixty people came back to

One of the principal addresses was
by DR.. Milton J. Rosenau, of the Unit,

were not as great now as they once
were, although he said such danger
did exist at all times. He especially
condemned, the wash basins in sleep
ing cars, as well as the drinking
glasses. He thought that system of
running water should be adopted, and
that the travelling public should carry
its own drinking utensils. He held
that the subject was one demanding
prompt and serious consideration.
