40 to SIS feet and the water is 50 clear
and transparent that a dime or any
small object may be distinctly seen
at the bottom. We surveyed the
springs from glass bottom row

waters OF great depth, over ferns and
mosses Of beautiful formations;
thousands of fishes darted to and
fro, and from the subterranean cav
erns OF the springs one could see the
immense volumes of water boiling
forth, and froIu the 'Snow Room"
and the Smoking Room" Il whitish
substance continuously boiled up for
short distance, from which they
derive their names, but 1t immedi-
ately settles back leaving the water

the deepest basins cleaned forth an

Mr- Iarrers- AID Kentuskr-

The attention of the Hon Theodore
Roosevelt, President Of these United
States. is hereby respectfully called to
Mr.. j. B. Jaggers. of Hart County, KY
Mr.. Jaggers is an American of whom the
President viii thoroughly approve. He
has led an honest. hearty. and useful life.
and now sits serene in the sunset of his
days the father Of IA children. l01 grand
children, and 1874 great-grandchildren!
Notwithstanding his rather suggestive
name-which. however, may not be con-
sidered a novelty in Kentucky-we feel
that the President will at once agree with
US that what this country needs is more
Jaggers! II every man for the past hun
dred years had been a Jaggers. where
would this country be now?
Mr.. Roosevelt believes in a hearty,
healthy. and optimistic life He believes
in st0ut-hearted Americans, and more of
them, So does Jaggers! The President
believes in the music OF the playground
and the happiness of the nursery. He be-
lieves that "a babe in the house is a we'll
spring Of pleasure Likewise Jaggers!
From his manifold duties as Chief Execu-
anon to dlssertate upon the expansion of
the home circle and the plenteous popula-
ton of the land. He has even been known
to make reference to the subject in state
papers and official communications to
Congress. He but breaches the gospel of
Jaggers,
Hence we call attention to Jaggers.
Pull many gem Of purest ray serene
The darn Gnfathomal caves Of OCEAN bear:
Fun many a flower is born 10 blush unseen.
And waste its sweetness the desert air.
1t shall not be so with Jaggers! We
ysnk him strenuously from out the dark
ness and thrust him boldly beneath the
Presidential eye. He is entitled to It. He
Is a living, breathing. and well-approved
exponent of one of the Presidents pet
ideas. and we feel that he should have his
virtues sung IN words that cannot be mis-
taken. All honor to such an American as
Jaggers, of Kentucky.
