SALT RIVER Is NO FABLE.
Stream of That Name Flows Into tn,
Ohio south of LOuisvflIe.

Stream of That Name Flows Into the
Ohio south of Louisville.
Salt River, sacred to defeated can
didates, Is a real stream. While not
navigable, it is used every winter as
an Ice harbor by the towboats which
sc out of Pittsburg for the south.
Salt River empties into the Ohio
about twenty-five miles south of Louis
vile. 1t Is a small stream which flows
from the Kentucky hills to the great
water and is as tortuous, as crooked
and as unpleasant to navigate as the
mind can imagine. Yet 1t Is navigated
for a short distance from its mouth
by steamers of light draft. Flatboats
and RATS are fioated down upon its
bosom. Before the Civil War it was
an important stream in the matter Of
bringing Kentucky whisky down in the
flatboats to a point where they could
be unloaded to a river steamer. Re-
fractory slaves were generally assign
ed to the task Of bringing these boats
down, as the work was arduous.
Salt River became bugaboo among
the negroes and 1t was from the un-
pleasant character of the work on this
river that "a trip up Salt River came
to be used in politics to express the
destination of defeated candidate
The name is supposed to have come
from the salt springs which flow into
1t at Its source.

Many farmers who occasionally or
der the destruction of fruit trees on
account of advanced age or unfruitful-
ness are quite unaware of the value
attached to much of the wood thus
sacrificed. Cherry wood is largely
used in furniture and when polished
reveals a beautiful color and provides
passable imitation of mahogany. APP
pie tree wood is remarkably we'll
adapted to turner's work and is in de-
mand for making cogwheels on ac-
count of its great strength and dura-
bility. The cogs Of wooden mill wheels
are often made Of apple wood. 1t is
also extensively used for fruit presses,
where it proves very durable. The
value of walnut wood in fine cabinet
work is well known, and good prices
are obtained for this beautiful and
popular wood.-London Times

SEES A MONARCHY COMING.
Mark Twain Says Americans Are
Human Like Other Nations.

Mark Twain Says Americans Are
Human Like other Nations.
Human nature being what It Is, I
suppose we must expect to drift into
monarchy by and by. 1t Is a sadden-
ing thought, but we cannot change our
nature; we are all alike, we human
beings, and in our blood and bone, and
ineradicable, we carry the seeds out Of
which monarchies and aristocracles are
grown-worship of gauds, titles, dis
tinctions, power. We have to worship
these things and their possessors we
are all born so and we cannot help 1t.
We have to be desplsed by somebody
whom we regard as above us or we are
not happy; we have TO have somebody
to worship and envy or we cannot be
content
In America we manifest this In all
the ancient and customary ways. In
public we scoff at titles and hereditary
privilege, but privately we banker after
them, and when we get chance we
buy them for cash and a daughter.
Sometimes we get good man and
worth the price, but we are ready to
take him anyway, whether he be ripe
or rotten, whether he be clean and
decent or merely basket of noble and
sacred and long-descended offal. And
when we get him the whole nation
publicly chaffs and SCOTS and privately
envies, and also is proud of the honor
which has been conferred upon us.
We run over our list Of titled pur-
chases every now and then in the
newspapers and discuss them and
caress them and are thankful and
happy. In a monarchy the people will
ingly and rejoicingly revere and take
pride in their nobilities and are not
humiliated by the reflection that this
humble and hearty homage gets no re-
turn but contempt. Contempt does not
shame them; they are used to it and
they recognize that it Is their proper
due. We are all made like that. In
Europe we easily and quickly learn
to take that attitude toward the SOW
ereigns and the arlstocracies; more
over, it has been observed that when
we get the attitude we go and eXag-
gerate it, presently becoming more SER
vile than the natives and vainer Of
it. The next step Is to rail and scoff
at republics and democracies.
All of which is natural, for we have
not ceased to be human beings by be-
coming Americans and the human race
was always intended to be governed
by kingship, not by popular vote

summer FrilIs in storage.

"As everybody knows" said the
householder to New York Sun writer,
people send their winter furs to stor-
age warehouses and to dealers for safe
keeping through the summer. This Is
an ancient practice But later this
summer storage Of winter-worn articles
came to include many other things be-
sides furs; people took to sending in
winter garments of all sorts, woolen
cloaks nnd overcoats and suits of
woolen clothes, and in time there came
to be included rugs and carpets, and
now there are stored in summer fine
furniture and tapestries and innumera-
Bile mounted heads of fur-bearing ami
mails.

know something of all this, l had sup

summer business only, whereas now !

I'VE found our summer clothes In the
way and we needed the room they occu-
pied. Why couldn't we store them, we
thought, and really that seemed to us
a bright idea, and we went down to
the place where for years we had turn
ed In our winter clothes In the spring
for storage through the summer and
asked them about 1t and they said,
why, certainly, they took summer goods
for winter storage and they'd send for
ours right away.

ing after those thin clothes any more
through the winter and we shall have
the space they occupied for other
things. And incidentally we discovered
that business that once was confined
to summer alone is now kept going the

fence and bewail his sad fate all his days.
