The Room,


Mrs. Harden had determined to go to
the seashore for a month, but it was
difficult to find a place which pleased
her taste and was not too expensive for
Mr. Harden's modest purse. At last
however, she returned from a trip Of
investigation with her mind made up.
She greeted her husband with a trium-
phant smile, and proceeded to descant
on the beauties OF the spot she had
chosen.
IT'S perfectly beautiful" she said,
with enthusiasm. THE sea is right
there at the foot of the. little path
down from the hotel steps. and the
piazza is so broad! And there's fine
dining room, and a hall. and-oh,. ev-
erything! Plenty of lighthouses.
and
How about our room?" interposed
Mr.. Harden.
Our room?" his wife paused for an
instant, and then dashed on; "our room
Is in the fourth story. and there's no
elevator OF course, there never is in
these small hotels. but stairs are good
for everybody-you know they are said
to be splendid for heart disease, Will
liam, though we haven't that, either
Of us, I'm thankful to say.
There's a nice little closet in 1t, and
we get a splendid view of the sea from
our window, and, anyway, we sha'n't
be in 1t scarcely at all-people never
are. You know they arn't, William"
We'll" said Mr.. Harden, with dull
resignation. ut will do, / suppose, II
you like 1t.
"Is there a comfortable chair In the
room that / can sit in while you're get
ting dressed afternoons? l understand
I was to help you get into all these
new clothes that are hitched together
up your spine"
Now, William" and Mrs. Hardens
voice suggested that tears were immi-
nent how large a room do you sup
pose we can get for the price we pay?
There Is e nice chair, but it-all the
furniture except the bureau will have
to go on the bed when we are getting
dressed for dinner.
I'm sure 1 should think you'd be
thankful to have a nice window to look
out Of while you wait, and you couldn't
see anything if you were sitting down,
it's so high!"-Youth's Companion.

TO MAKE WOOD LAST.
Government Back of Experiments to
Be Made In Louisiana.

All arrangements have been COM
pleted for beginning one of the most
important projects in wood preserva-
ton which the forest service has yet
undertaken. The Great Southern
Lumber company Of Louisiana has
built a sawmill of steel in that state
with a capacity Of 100000 feet a day.
This Is one of the largest mills In the
world. The company owns vast guam
titles of timber, which it will manu-
facture and handle by the most ap-
proved methods. The preservation OF
the manufactured lumber by chemical
treatment, to increase its period OF
use and to render it more valuable,
will be given a thorough trial.
If the trial proves satisfactory, says
a Washington letter to the Kansas
City Star, the company Will operate
the plant in connection with its mill.
This Is the first time that any lumber
company has undertaken to treat its
own products for sale on a CONNER
cial scale.
The forest service will devise pol
icy for the treatment Of the various
products of southern lumber mills,
such as crossties, piling, lumber, fence
posts, telephone and telegraph poles.
In no other part Of the country are
conditions more favorable for the rap
i'd decay of structural timber, and no
timbers are easier to treat than GER
tain kinds found in the south UP to
the present time, however, full advan-
tage has not been taken Of the possi-
bility Of treating these timbers by
cheap and simple process, such as
some of the notifications Of the open
tank method provide.
In nearly all cases the treatment
has been confined to complicated
pressure plants, which are so expen-
sive to build and operate that their
time cannot profitably be taken up
for the treatment Of many classes Of
timber ch, being used in large
quantities. it would otherwise be ad-
vantageous to treat. Thus, to treat a
loblolly pine tie or fence post by the
pressure method renders the final cost
Of timber greater than that Of an un-
treated tie or post Of naturally de-
cay resisting species.

Glowing Era for Kentucky.

Mr.. B. r Hutcncraft, formerly Of
this city. now of Lexington. who has
been largely interested in coal lands
Tor years, and who has had great ex-
perlerce as mine expert, said in con-
versatlcn, that there is a great future
Tor Eastern Kentucky and that by the
construction of new railroads and the
opening of new coal territories and
coal mines, that section OF the State
would surpass ali others in wealth.
He spoke OF 4 company of financiers,
lndepedent Of Wall Street, who pro-
pose to build a new railroad into a
hitherto unopened coal territory, very
rich in coal OF n fine quality
Through that part CT the coal ares. runs
the celebrated POcahontas vein,. which
starts IN Virginia, and is reputed to be
unsurpassed Tor ali purposes for which
coal is used.
The development here alluded 20 viii

all signs do not fail, and road now
crossing the Ohio River will be con-
tlnued into the converted coal areas
bordering on the far eastern feeders
Of the Kentucky River.
Mr.. James 2. Haggin, who is the
practical owner OF the Louisville &
Atlantic Railway. has in course of con-
structon. a banch line from near Beatty
vile junction into a new coal territory,
which is designed as a feeder of the

Caleb Powers Case.

Caleb Powers will be tried at
Georgetown by jury from Harrison
county, after long wrangle in
which the defense asked Tor Fayette
county jury and the Commonwealth
vigorously objected. Judge Morris
ordered the sheriff to summon special
venire of 200 men from Harrison
county, one hundred to appear in
court to-day ard one hundred on Mon
day.
From all appearances Caleb Powers
will have no kick coming about this
trial for Judge Morris is impressing
all that ne is determined along that
line.
Following the arguments and
motions and arguments upon the mo-
tiors upon the manner of selecting the
Jury, Judge Morris said that if, when
the panel was presented, 1t showed on
it's face discrimination in the selec-
ton of the veniremen, he would ex-
ercise his judicial right and discrimi-
nation by setting it aside on his own
motion. Continuing he declared in
emphatic language: Il came here to
give this defendant fair and impair
tial trial and that l propose to do. No
man can be impartially tried by a par
tial jury. An impartial trial calls for
an impartial jury
Judge Morris then admonlshed the
Sheriff and his deputies TO be careful
q the selection Of the venirenen ard
% SHOW no discrimination.
