Blackburn's fondness for speechmali ing is matter of common Knowledge At one time he Was on an outing tt.ia with some friends along the Kentucky river when a few dozen residents of the neigh'oihood joined the party The food was of the best and there was plenty of liquid refreshment Black burn. however. did not seem to be en- toying himself One of his friends asked him what was the matter Il don't like this crowG,H Blackburn re- sponded Why, Joe his friend re: monstlated. there's not man hern who wouldn't die for you' II know that" returned Blackburn. Its not the quality I'm objectng to. but tlI quantity. The crowd is too big for a.l anecdote and not big enough for $ speech"
 One day Secretary of War Taft ap- peared before the military committee of the senate of which Black burn was q member, advocating the view that jun for army officers should not marry.
 "But how asked Blackburn, can you make that accord with the admin istration views on race suicde?''
 Secretary Taft met this question with characteristic roar of laughter.
 Blackb burn was a stanch silver man and therefore opposed to the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. Representative Caruth and a party of other Kentuckians called on the senator and told him he was hurt ing himself politically as most of the towns in the state were passing reso- lutions favoring the repeal.
 "What do l care for the resolutions of the towns?" reioined Blackburn. 'They are passed by bankers, lawyers and dry goods merchants. and no country men were at the meetings"
 "How do you know:' asked Caruth.
 "How do I know Why. Asher. know it darned well. Every town in Kentucky is reached by tollgate. and the poor country people haven't money enough to pass them That's the req son l know Here, Jim. give these xCllOWS UIiuh OI LDtOib anu MI them go''

 The bartender said to Senator Black burn:

 "Oh," said he scarcely able to con ceai his disgust, "1 guess I'll have piece of squash pie.'

been made.

in the near future. Both Mr.. Parker and

ford, announce that they are booked full
right through the summer.
Avon has always been most popular re-
sort, probably more on account of its pine
trees than anything else. Nowhere on the
coast do these trees grow more abundantly
than here. and all through the town are
immense groves. giving out healthy odors
and affording protection from the heavy
ocean winds. Another popular feature Of
the town Is the splendid bathing and
