Thanksgiving Day.

New York City,
Thanksgiving Day.
Dear Friends Of Berea:
II / were to write letters to the

and so ] content myself with a gen

Early In the fall. we planned 20 take
Edith and Cleveland, and spend
Thanksgiving with relatives in Con-
necticut, and Mr.. Frost was TO preach
the sermon. Edith's illness compelled
a modification OF plan Mr.. Frost and
Cleveland went yesterday 10 celebrate
with the relatives. / went out to the
hospital this morning and spent the
day with Edith. and had my dinner On
a tray all by myself. | would visit a
while through the window, then 80 in
and get warmed and rested for another
visit.
Most OF my Thanksgiving Days have
been spent under more ideal conditions
yet have been happy and thankful
all day. Coming up from the station
this evening, l was overtaken by the
thought. This is the first time in my
life that / have found myself alone
Thanksgiving evening. away from
everybody" Then there came to my
mind the story of the old lady who
was asked, do you live all alone in
that little house yonder?" yes" she
said. with a cheerful nod. me and
Jesus" When / reached my room, !
found your bundle OF Thanksgiving
letters. Suddenly the room was full
of real but invisible people, and am
enjoying their society very much. The
letters are on their way to Boston
where they viii overtake Mr.. Frost
tomorrow.
We are both well and are keeping
up our courage, though prospects are
not the brightest Such work IS al
ways hard, and this fall more so than
usual. The answer OF a plucky little
boy often gives me fresh courage.
Someone said to him, Johnny. you

POWERS CHANCES GOOD


the prosecution insisted in dragging in
all the old testimony as TO the course
of the bullet and so forth, and wasted
much time. When II came to the at
tempt to prove a conspiracy the weak
ness OF the prosecution became clear.
Only one of the witnesses introduced
last week mentioned Powers name,
and he had heard him say that he
had done all he was going to. so that
his testimony was helpful to Powers.
Judge Morris has excluded parts Of
the testimony of DIR. Welch, Ben Mar
shall and Col. Bennett II. Young. Gov.
Taylor's name was brought into the
case for the first time by the Rev.
l.. w. Hampton. The main effo of
the prosecution SO far has beenk 10
show that Powers was connected with
the so-called mountain army" Judge
Black OF Barbourville was the strong
est witness against Powers, and he
indicated that both Powers and Char
ley Finley were connected with the
army.
One interesting story Of the week
was that Frank Cecil, one of the wit
nesses against Powers had disappeared
after telling several Of the prose-
cutting lawyers that he had been Offered
$4,000 and a pardon to leave the
state till after the trial. The story
would have been worth more If Cecil
had been a more important witness.

TOWN 6-COLLEGE 0.
Hard Thanksgiving Day Football Game
Won by WeIch's Head Work-Teams
Evenly Matched.

The football game won by the town
from the College team on ThanSsgiv-
ing day was, as was expected, the
closest and hardest fought on the local
field this season, and all who went
were well repaid. The town team won
by TO 0, but this does not represent
the relative strength of the two teams
as the College really outplayed the
town thru a large part of the game.
and the towns victory was due 10 the
fine head work of John Welch, the
captain and quarterback.
Both teams showed lack of training
and were unable to make any good
gains by straight football The Col
lege worked the forward pass for
gains twice. and the on-side kick once
but other times when these plays were
tried there was a heavy loss, 50 that
the total was not favorable. The
interference on end runs was very
poor and runners were often thrown
for losses. The town teams line was
also too tough for the College men 20
open. On the other hand, while the
town team could almost always make
short gains either thru the College line
or around the end, il could not get
enough for first down, and was unable
to use the forward pass to advantage
because of the fast playing of the Col
lege ends. Altogether the teams were
so evenly matched that the quarter
backs headwork decided it.
The touchdown was the most sensa-
tional play of the game. The College
had regained the ball after tumble
almost on its own goal line, and
should have punted out of danger, but
instead tried an onside kick, which
failed, the town getting the ball on the
eight yard line. Two line plunges
gave only four yards. and it became
evident that no score could be
made that way. Everyone was ex-
pecting a run around the right end,
but Welch passed the ball for a crisis
cross pass, and it went to Garfield to
carry around the left. Welch's block
ing of two men got Garfield around
without and trouble. Welch kicked
goal.
This was early in the second half,
and the rest Of the game was an eff
fort on the part of the college to do
something. and on the part of the
town to delay matters till time was
out. The town seemed greatly en-
couraged by its success, however, and
kept the ball in college territory most
of the time. Once Welch got near
enough to try a drop kick, but failed
because of the bad ground. Again,
when the college kicked out from its
goal line he made fair catch, and
tried goal, but this, too, failed by a
narrow margin.
Two sensational runs were made,
one by Logan, a college back, and the
other by Thomson, for the town. Lo-
gan got the ball at the end of the first
half, and carried 1t seventy yards, till
finally run out of bounds. 1t Is
claimed that he went out much earlier
in his run, but the half was called as
he was thrown, and this point was
not settled. Thomson's run was Tor
about forty-flve yards. carrying back
the ball after a punt. He would have
got by for touchdown II his foot had
not slipped.

FirstTime in History of CITY hat
Saloons arc Closed.
No Violations Reported and
Everyone Satisfied with
Arrangements.

Last Sunday was the first time
in the history of the city of Ash
land that all the saloons were
closed. Not drop of liquor
was sold in the city during the
day and no violations of the
agreement between the repre-
sentatives Of the Civic league
and the saloon men has been re-
ported. An agreement was
reached between the two inter
ests at a meeting held last week
and a resolution was adopted
asking the council to adopt an
ordinance containing the follow
/ ing provisions:
That saloons should be clos ed
all day Sunday.
That all obs taces be removed
during closed hours that would
hinder a full view Of the bar
during closed hours.
That ali the wine rooms, pri-
vate dining rooms and other ST
miar rooms be removed and be
prohibited.
An agreement could not be
reached as to the proper time to
close the saloons on week days
nights, and this matter will be
left to the city council.
In view of this agreement the
Civic league agreed not to push
charges against places for which
no warrants have been issued
but where the league has gath
cred evidence.

How to Become Rich.

In order to become rich it is ne.
cessary merely to follow the per
f'ctly simple procedure of any king
OF finance. Thus:
Borrow all the mOnev YOU can up-
on the prop 'rty YOU already own.
With the money buy more pro-
perty.
Combine the two properties, float
a loan. and with the money buy a
third property.
Merge the three properties, use
the merger as security for q loan,
and with the money buy another
large property.
Consolidate this with the Others,
select a board of directors. and
authorize yourself to float twice as
much stock as there is.
Sell this stock, and with the money
buy 1--WE or six more prope rites.
Organize a holding company which
will carry the stocks of all the pro-
perties.
You are now so wealthy and in
fiuentia that you do not need to
make any more loans.
Increase the stock Of YOUR pro-
perties and sell bonds upon them.
Authoriz yourself to ouV every
thing in sight with This money.
Now you will have control Of
everything; also You will have the
say-so in any umber at subsidiary
companies aud contr hling voice in
eight or niue insurance companies
and national banks.
Aft-r this there doesn't seem
much to do except to get dyspepsia,
get bald and pratte gently about
the excellence of mo'at proverbs.

Keep Your Eye
ON LaFollette
The Wisconsin Senator Does
Things That are
Surprising.

"Roosevelt will not be a
candidate. Of other candi-
dates there are many, and
they represent many phases
of public opinion. Sentiment
among those who are in favor
of the maintenance and fur
ther development of Roose-
velt's progressive policies is
undoubtedly at prese n t
strongly in favor of the
nomination of Taft. But
Taft has strong opposition
in his own state. coming
from the reactionary element
and headed by Senator For
aker, who, whatever may be
thought of his ideas of gov
ernment, must be conceded
great organizing ability. and
Willingness and ability to
fight. Hence Taft has GER
tainly no walk-away. Hughes
of New York, looms up as a
conspicuous figure and he
mas the support of many peo-
pie who admire him for the
record he has made, together
with the tacit support of re-
dictionaries who would pre-
fer any man to Taft, for the
simple reason that the defeat
of L aft would be interpreted
in some sense as a defeat of
Roosevelt. and there are
many men who would take a
great deal of pains to get the
chance to slap Roosevelt in
the face, even if they gained
nothing by it. And in this
campaign it would be we'll to
keep an eye on LaFollette.
{ He is characterized as an eX-
tremist. and an unsafe man.
But no man who has watched
| the career of the doughty
fighter from Wisconsin can
fail to be impressed with the
fact that LaFollette has a
way of bringing things to
pass in a most surprising
manner, and q faculty of
overcoming obstacles which
is decidly discomfting to his
opponents.''
