I am disturbed in my slumbers at
five o'clock in the morning by the

faithful TO pray. The Moslems pray
five times 4 day and must begin at five
o'clock. winter and summer. Just why
such an early hour IS prescribed i

does not stop to pray, but makes it up

due, still it must be paid. He says he

C Rests With Him Who Has
Most Money.

" cIIt
In conversation with a native Mo-
roccan. | got his estimate Of the char
acter of his people, both in public and
private matters. According to his
very candid statement, lying. sWlnd-
ling and rascality are some Of their
leading traits of character. And worse,
still. it is useless to apply TO ii court
for a remedy. There justice cuts no
figure. My informant cited instances
showing that bribery was the win
ming caro- in a lawsuit. / asked HIM
if they had no lawyers. and If 50 why
q party didn't get a lawyer who would
see that his client got his rights.
Yes" said he, I'VE have lawyers.
The same way with them. One Will
accept fees from both sides and work
for the one giving him the most"
"Well, then" | asked him, why don't
the judges see hat justice is done?'
Same way with them was his ready
response: "a side wink and none Will
get their decisiOn.' For some time
we travelled with d German lady who
has lived in Morocco for ten years,
and she bears similar testimony to
the Moor's character and his inordi-
nate love Of money. Her husband is
q merchant at Casabianca and also
acting consul general there for our
government.

After the Craige house came into
LongfellOw's possession he made the
lower southeast room his study. On
the walls hung crayOn portraits OF

own portrait, painted by his son Err

stands that belonged to the poets
Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert

was cut down in 1876 because it was
considered unsafe.

,.Eats Of 4 Great Painting

A Vienna artist writing about Leo,
nardo da Vnci's Last Supper" says;
atmospheric changes and the dust
and SCOT from the factories which are
near the Church of Santa Maria dele
Grozie have made the picture a wreck,
and only a small part of the original
work is left. Another potent cause for
the great loss may be found in Leonar-
dos use of material which lacked the
proper adhesive qualities. Artists who
went to Milan to study the problem
have agreed that the fresco cannot be
detached from the wall, and none o.
them has suggested a plan by which
the disintegration may be arrested"

j. Nj. Martin charged with sell

confessed before Mayor Combs
Wednesday and his license and
bond are in consequence forfeited.
He was given till Saturday to take
out new license. which will cost
$3.50 and furnish new bond of

are revoked, Mr.. Martins loss will
be over thousand dollars. The
licenses are issued under date of
March |.
This is the first case that has
come up before Mayor Combs of
such a nature, but Mayor Combs
says he will not be the last if there
is any further violation of the law
in this respect. He says that this
law will be as rigidly enforced as
the Sunday closing law and he will
have no mercy on the violators.

JAPANESE ADMIRAL
Says Men of Navy Are No Good
In War.

At Toxic, Japan, the Hochi
prints an interview with Admiral
Sakomoto. in which the Admiral
is quoted as follows:
Even if the Washington Gov
eminent should decide on a war,
it is doubtful if the Americans
serving in the navy are sufficiently
patriotic to fight.
American naval officers are
brilliant figures at balls and social
gatherings, but they are very de-
ticient in professional training and
practice. 1t is too much to expect
a burning patriotism in the Amer
lean naval service in case of war
with Japan. 1t is very likely
that most of the crews would de-
sert and leave the ships"
The Admiral denies the quota
ton. If it does not come as free
will statement we can easily and
quickly prove to the Jap Admiral's
satisfaction what real fighting is,
on either land or sea. Ed.

MERGERS.

Efforts are being made to merge
the Louisville Gas Company,
the Louisville Heating Company,
the Louisville Lighting Company,
and the Kentucky Electric Com
pany. This much was admitted
by a large stakeholder.
A merger of these properties
will probably take the form of a
holding company, with a capital
stock of SIS, 0OO,0O0 to $4,000,
600. With the elimination of
competition and the savings that
could be effected in other direc-
tons, it is estimated that no trou-
BILE would he had in paying divi-
dends on this amount.

Colossal Indeed.

We are accustomed to think of
the cost of the Panama Canal as
collosal, especially when we real
ize that it has already entailed the
expenditure of over 1925, 900, 900
and may cost thrice that much be-
fore warship can pass safely
through it. But Greater New
York has even a larger job on her
hands. 1t is estimated that the
tunnels in course of construction
under the city and its rivers, the
railway terminal and depots, water
supply and similar enterprises
under way will cost an aggregate
of S625, 900, 900.

READS RIOT ACT TO
ALL OFFENDERS.

Mrs. j. B. Crouch, owner of a
Lexington saloon, was dismissed
on the charge of violating the Sun
day closing law before Mayor
Combs, with a warning.
Il am determined to break up
this Sunday violation. | want to
say now that | am not going to
consume my time hearing saloon
cases. In the future the burden
of the proof will have to lie large
~ with the saloonkeeper suspected
of violating the law. Where there
is so much smoke there is bound
to be some fire, and | am going to
put it out and stamp on the ashes.
Il know in a general way that
saloon-keepers in the east end of
town have taken chances, and that
liquor has been sold on Sundays
through various preteXts, but it
has to stop. This thing of evad-
ing the law by slipping into rooms
where beer and whisky are kept
has gone far enough. If | believ-
eel in good faith that the beer was
given to your cook | would not
hesitate a minute about dismissing
you. but | am inclined to believe
that it is a Matched up story.
There is not enough proof to con-
Wet you of selling whisky or to
show that your saloon was open on
Sunday. but | want to warn you
that if YOU are before me again on
a like charge ! will have no mercy
on you"
Mrs. Crouch promised to be
good in the future.
