the home OF Mr.. Holly before the rain.
After two hours of the storm the sun
came out and the ladies were wading
around in the mud and water, when
suddenly near night the rain burst
forth in torrents again. Col. Cunning
ham says "it was estimated that there
must have been ten thousand people
in that great assembly, Miss Moore,
Miss Harrison, the bellies Of Clark
county, and many beauties from old
Madison were there for miles around
and from over the State.
Col. Cunningham remembered Ma
jor I. T. Estill, of Fort Estill as being
remarkably handsome and graceful on
his splendid dappled iron gray charger.

rosy fingers unlock the golden portal

Thomas A. Edison. the great Ameri-

Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri-
can inventor, says: Fully eighty per
cent. of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves" This is
where indigestion finds its beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no
more, and when you overload it, or
when you eat the wrong kind of food
the digestive organs can not possibly
do the work demanded of them. 1t
is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands help. and also
warns you by headaches. belching,
sour stomach, nausea and indigestion.
You should attend to this at once by
taking something that will actually
do the work for the stomach Kodol
will do this. 1t is combination of
natural dgestants and vegetable
acids and contains the same juices
found in a healthy stomach. 1t is
pleasant to take. 1t digests what you
eat. Sold by South & Co.

COM M UNICATED.

"reminiscences of Col. John Cunning
ham, of Rosedale, Cunningham Sta
tion, Bourbon county, KY, of the grand
celebration at Boonesboro, Madison
county, KY, which occurred on Sun
day, July 4, 1s4S:
Col. John Cunningham has the rep
utation Of having remarkably won
derful energy, and is constantly re-
ferred to as one of the oracles of his
county. He has fine library of law
books, and keeps himself thoroughly
posted on all up t. date events. He
was present at the magnificent Fourth
of July Celebration" and shook hands
with very old lady, sitting in a chair,
who was introduced to him as Mrs.
Boone. There were thousands and
thousands of people in gorgeous and
in brilliant military array, with gilt
tering dress-parade of soldiers and
brass bands Of music, and floating
hags and long lines OIL tables, groaning
with their beautiful and many delici-
Gus fruits and refreshments.
Col. Cunningham, says Major G. F.
Burnam, has made mistake in his
dates in his History Of the First
Boonesborough Celebration" Col.
Cunningham was captain at that time.
and afterwards promoted to be colonel
Of his regiment. He rode very hand
some new saddle, for the first time, on
that day on his spirited Bertram racer,
a noted dasher. He was very erect in
his figure, and the girls described him
"as having sparkling black eyes," and
also "as popular and graceful dane
err" He has beautiful embroidered,
white centered friendship album, gilt
made by his different charming girl
friends, which he highly prizes as a
souvenir of his popularity with the
ladies.
col. Cunningham describes the fine,
costly dressing of the beautiful Ken
lucky bellies on that occasion. He tells
of the great cloud burst and food
which poured down in torrents, just
at the dinner hour, when the tables
were loaded and piled with fish, bread,
cakes pies, olu ham, mutton, crackers,
beef and many other delicious Ken
lucky viands. The soldiers gave up
their tents to the ladies. which soon
the soldiers spiked the bread
old ham and cakes on their bayonets,
and at shoulder arms" marched down
to the river to their boats, which car
ried them to Louisville, Lexington,
Frankfort and other places. The girls
slipped and fell and rolled over in the
mud in their fine brocade silk dresses,
but came up screaming and laghing,
with their new silk bonnets all COM
pletely drepched and spattered with
mud.
One of the tender rOmances of the
occasion was brought about by one
of the Fayette beauties. Miss Audit
Rogers, taking such good care of her
bonnet that handsome beau present
took notice (and said in his heart)
"she will make a good WIFE" and he
sought an introduction TO her on the
spot. She afterwards became his wife
The flood lasted from Sunday until
Thursday, and the river rose out Of

The horse is having his day in San
Francisco even though the day must in
evitably close with his DEATH The cry
of the California metropolis today is not
for sympathy, not for money, but for
horses, horses-and more horsesl Into
the foundations of the new city is going
the life blood of $4,000 superb horses,
says Harper's Weekly. Deliberately To-
600 draught horses are being worked to

Removal of debris and hauling of ma

tracts have all sorts of premiums for
time saved. The contractor reaps the
premium by driving his horses to death.
Half an hours walk from Market and
kearny streets at any hour of the day
will lead you to a dead horse--dead in
the harness-worked to death. The vans
that carry off carca sses are buster than
the vans which carry drunken men to

And the men whose business it is to
bring in new horses to replace those
who go out in the struggle are growing
more and more desperate. The Califor-
mia corrals and the Oregon and Nevada
ranches have been depleted of their sur
the states farther eastward are being
called upon to yield horses and more
horses.
There is no fine quibbling over the
price. The horses must be had. They
are shipped to the San Francisco horse
market, which. after the arrival of a
fresh consignment. looks like a bull day
in Wall street. There are 1000 debris
teams in the city now. but these 1900
horses are insufficient for the task. and
il is believed that 5000 more teams will
be added to the force before summer
comes.

THE GARDEN OF IREM.


Ye know Sheddad, the son of Ad,
Who In the deserts dusty space,
A sudden wondrous vision had
OF Al Jannat-the holy place,
And how it's beauty drove him mad.
SO that the splendOr, many walled,
He stroye to copy in the plain;
And Irem's Garden there installed,
That made the waste to flower again,
Saffron and musk and emerald.
But Allah saw; his mighty frown
Upon its domes and walls he cast:
And sent the rains Of heaven to drown,
And all the winds of heaven 10 blast,
SO that it's towers went topping down.
But sometimes in the desert haze.
The thirsty waif sees Sheddad's dream,
And Ircms opal fountains blaze
In the pearl gardens, ali agleam:
