failed to cape the wonder of the scene, but kept
his derby hat Now, Mela had just taken
particularly large bite of the enchanted sandwich
the nature whereof demanded a succession of loud,
toasty crunches therefore, guing her eyes upon the
Prince, she reduced mastication to ineffective
minimum.
But unfortunately the Prince seemed in no hurry
to be gone. He stroled about the room, tested
its slippery floor and stood here and there scowlng
at nothing, all of which he did with hands in pockets
and in the most gloomy, preoccupied manner
imaginable.
Suddenly 'Melias parcel slid to the floor with
a shameless slap
The Prince, who had just stopped to pick up
a disconnected face "I-say!" he exclaimed in
guilty jerks. Who's there?" He stepped for
ward and encountered small person uplifting
large bundle to him in supplicatng presentment
What earth" began the Prince then he
stopped short, for evidently the other was having
troubles
In fact, 'Mea had not entirely disposed of the
enchanted mouthful. For a moment she struggled
against the terrible shame of chewing in such
presence; then she dropped her parcel flung one
wrist across her eyes and began to weep and chew
simultaneously.
,".oh.holrr, laughed q the Prince. Helping your
sandwich himself he took huge bite of it in so
court1y that 'Melia was Immediately put at
her ease. When she had dried her eyes the Prince
resumed somewhat Sternly And now, my lady,
what you doing here?"
Please, sir" said Melia, again presenting the
bundle as direct evidence, it's Miss Meara the
chambernad that l want, sir.
The Prince politely observed but declined the
bundle You see,' he said, fixing the rosebud in
his buttonho1e, Il know so few chambermaids. But
you don't mean to say" he continued, with a severe
eye on 'Melia, that you had engagement with
a chambermaid in a ballroom? Judging by the
length of time that | hung about in the hall, you
must have been here at least ten minutes. Now,
what have you been doing besides-er-p pitching
in?"
This cruel reference, coupled with the feelings
which Melias true motive had reawakened, almost
overcame her. but she contrived to whisper trenu-
lousy: lust sittin', sir; sttin' watchin'. 1t

May-poe-'1 watched it, cause-now-I didn't

The rest?" echoed the Prince. In the silent
moment which followed he recalled that while
walking down town through the park he had col

noise "Ah, he resumed, " see. But why couldn't
No, SIR" faltered 'Melia, wrestling with the
horrid bare truth II wasn't asst"

judicial air vanished and he frowned indignant
sympathy; then hard, bitter smile settled on his
face, but he threw it off with laugh, and bend
ing 'Melia whispered confidentially Don't

unwarranted attacks of irresponsible
newspapers. Other men nave peen

Mary's term of Imprisonment has

A LICENTIOUS PRESS.

Lack of spirit is manifest in the
contest for nominations on the Dem.
ocratic city ticket. In some instances
there is only one aspirant and until
a list Of names was added to the en-
tries in the hands of the committee
at the eleventh hour, IL looked as
though the primary would have to be
abandoned. Many reasons for this
condition among local Democrats
have been advanced. but the expert
ence of Mayor Yeiser and other Off
cisls in seeking timber for appoin-
tive Offices. is explanation enough
Abuse of public officials by the local
press is responsible, and unless SUCH
license is curbed, Paducah will be
made to suffer in the future as she
is threatened already.
The Sun will no more stand for
muzzling of the press than will any
other independent paper. and. Re-
publican or Democrat, the official.
whose conduct in Office does not meet
with the approval of this paper, shall
be criticized more frankly, perhaps,
than courteously. But some of our
contemporaries, we fear. need chas-
tening.
There Is a wide difference between
a mans private life and his public
life. In so far as il does not affect
his official acts, a mans private life
should be immune from newspaper
comment, especially since It is prac-
tically impossible to ascertain the
real facts of a mans private life and
character.
Again. it Is wrong TO impugn an
officials motive. II he does a right
eous act, the press should encourage
him to repeat il. instead of search
ing for possible wrong motive In
the case.
Last week we commented on an
article written by George Ochs, of
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Oh
the change from yellow TO red Jour
nallsm. Falsehood is the distinguish
ing characteristic of both varieties.
II Is unfortunate for a community
when a free press degenerates into
a licentious press. but Paducah. not

curse astride her neck. Let a public
man but cross the purpose or some

An Assistant of Nature.

One of the most interesting things
of this day of interesting things is
the great success being achieved by
osteopathy.
There is hardly day that some
cure which is deserving of attracting
much attention, is not made by this
new science, and the more II is stud
led, and the better 1t is known, the
easier it Is to see why II rs so.
osteopathy merely aids nature to
cure.
II is a system of healing built up
on demonstrable facts.
II discovers the cause of diesase,
and treats it by scientific manlpula-
tons in order to correct disorders
and bring about natural condition.
Nearly all diseases yield to the
treatment. and the diseases local TO
Paducah do so most readily.
In rheumatism, liver and bowel,
or stomach troubles, chronic head
aches tred-out, rundown condi-
tions. nervousness. its success has
been very marked.
