hill-crowned capital never presented
a brighter appearance.
Judicial and state officials, state
officials-elect, committees and promi-

ercises. The oath of office was ad-
ministered by the chief justice Of the
Kentucky supreme court on high
stand erected directly in front of the
state capitol. Governor Beckham and
his successor in office were both
given hearty ovations. The scene
which followed the appearance of the
new executive at the front of the
stand, in view of thousands, was one
long to be remembered. Standing
with his head barred, beneath the
American flag, with his right hand up
lifted and his left resting on the
Bible, Judge Wilson repeated the
words which made him the chief ex-
ecutive of Kentucky.

are you and what do you want?' asked
the Dlucky woman, whose husband
was away at work.

robber. evidently believing that the
Ouiners had succumbed to the effects
of the chloroform, grabbed board
and pounded furiOusly on the door in
an attempt to smash it down.
Luckily an ak was in the corner.
Grabbing it, Mrs Elvin held it aloft
with the intention of splitting open the

At the same time she screamed loudly
for help. Quiner gave an answering
call and at this the rObber ran away.
