Sunflouer Philosophy.

There are no new arguments in love
or politics.
Every man makes a good husband
for awhile
1t is a rare man who will not lie
about his age.
Some people waste the best of their
lives in love affairs.
There is little wolf and a little
rabbit in every man.
A man who has fished can readily
detect a lie in a fish story.
Everything else that is free seems
in more demand than salvation.
Ever remark how prices tumble
when you have a good supply on
hand?
A young persons kind of wit is us
ually the kind that gives on old per-
son nervous prostration.
Troubles always look small after
we have passed them; particularly the
awful ones We faced in our youth
When a man has taken the Kelley
cure, or a woman has been married
twice, they do not care to talk about
it.
1t is hard to convince a man who
has tried it that any such thing as a
game of chance is conducted in a
gambling house.
Every man but the preacher believes
he is engaged in the line of work
which makes the greatest strain on
the Third Commandment.
Never pay a man a written compli-
ment. He has not only your kind
words to criticise but there's the spell
ing, the periods and the commas.
When a man stops to listen to two
others arguing he isn't after informa-
ton; he wants 70 butt in and air his
own views on one side or the other.
You have probably observed thar
some loafers take great pride in their
strength. They are glad TO display
it by any feat that cannot be classeG
as work.
Every boy who plays around rail
road yards, and makes a practice of
jumping on trains, imagines he is a
great deal more clever than the one
legged men of his acquaintance ever
were.
Grief has its extremes. A man
thinks the worst has happened when
the bald spot first appears. but de-
cides a little later that it wasn't bad
at all until it grew so that it shows
under the back rim Of his hat.-Atch-
ison (KanD Globe.

A Prayer for Ability.

Lord, not for cleverness we pray
to-day, but for ability to fit ourselves
into I.ife's great system, and use
the talents that Thou hast given All.
IN our blindness we have said that
all Places are filled, and that We were
created without a chance for Life.
Thou hast created us. Thou hast
created our Work. To the humble
tasks we would bring the ability to
do them cheerfully and in the right
Spirit.
For briliancy we do ask to-day.
For other spheres than ours; it may
serve. But Here and Now we need a
Power to procure the Daily Food,
the seasons clothes, the fire to warm
the Body-the Temple and the Soul.

COAL.
Some Interesting Facts in Regard
10 This Much Used and Com
mon Commodity.

Coal is believed to be made up of
the remains of trees and plants,
which grew on the earth in dense for
ests before man or any other animal
had appeared. Changed by pressure,
dampness and heat this mass of veg
etable matter became a kind of car
bon mixed with bitumen. 1t is sup
posed that for thousands of years
great forests of plants grew up and
died, and were followed by other
plants until the swamps and lowlands
became filled up, thick, closely pack
ed beds of vegetable matter. These
were in some way brought under wat
er, and then the vegetable matter rot
ted and became packed so closely as
to be turned into peat. This was in
time changed by heat and pressure
into a brown coal called Ignite, which
by a third change became coal. Coal
is divided into three kinds according
to the amount of bitumen mixed with
the carbon. They are anthracite,
which is a hard or stone coal, and
has the least btumen; bitumious
coal, which contains more bitumen
which has the most bitumen. Coal
was used in Britain by the Romans
for smelling iron, and. perhaps, for
warming.
About the end of the thirteenth cen
tury it was sent to London from New
castle for use by smiths and trades
people, because wood had become
scarce, but people thought it poisoned
the air and in 1906 its use was order
ed stopped by the King. under penal
/ ty of death. The prejudice against
coal continued in England down to
the seventeenth century and in France
to the nineteenth. 1t was not until
| 1912 that the way to burn anthracite
1917 Joseph White and Erskine Haz-
ard, who had a factory for making
wire, at the falls of the Schuylkill in
Pennsylvania, got a lease of coal lands
in the Lehigh Valley for an ear OF
corn a year, so little did people know
of its value. In 1920 they sent 36j
tons to market. In 1927 a railroad
was built from their mines to Mauch
I Chunk. 1t was a gravity road. The
cars ran down by their own weight
and were hauled back by mules. Since

HOW THEY SQUIRMED!
Great Times When Children
Had to Take Old-Fash-
toned Cod Liver Oil
and Emulsions.

You had to bride them. hold theiI
noses, in fact go through a regular
circus to get them to take it.
That was years ago, before the two
eminent French chemists, Morgues anC
Gautier, discovered how to separate
the medicinal elements of the Gods
liver from the useless, nauseating oil
and produced Vinol.
Vinol is not patent medicine but a
real cod liver preparation containing
in a highly concentrated form all OF
the bodybuilding, strength creating
elements of cod liver oil actually TAX
en- from fresh Gods livers, with all
the useless oil eliminated and tonic
iron added. 1t tastes fine and children
love it. Wherever old-fashioned cod
liver oil or emulsions will do good,
Vinol will do far more good.
Mr.. Griffin, of the firm of q. Wayne
Griffin & Bro, our local druggists,
says: 1T is because we know so well
of what Vinol is made that we ask
every mother who has a weak, deli
cate or ailing child, and in fact every
rundown, debilitated, aged or weak
person in Hartford, and every person
suffering from stubborn colds, hang
Ing on coughs or bronchitis to try
Vinol on our offer to return their
money If 1t fails" z. Wayne Griffin
& Bro, druggists.
Note-While we are sole agents for
,Vinol in Hartford, 1t is now for sale
at the leading drug store in nearly
every town and city in the country.
Look, for the Vinol agency in your
town.

Barber No. 2765, the we'll known
German Coach Stallion, will make
the season of 1907 at $4,000 twenty
dollars to insure a colt to stand up
and suck, money due when the fact
is ascertained or the mare transferr-
ed. Barber will be found at Hartford
Fair ground on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week, Centertown,
KY, on THURSDAY, Friday and Satur-
day.
AS a coach horse, Barber has no
superior in the State, and we think
this Is the horse the farmers need, as
it becomes necessary for them to
patronize a large breeder and raise
large stock, for this is what the mar
ket demands, and If you have some
thing that suits the market, you
have no trouble in selling it, Barber
served 70 mares last season and must
+ make 100 this season.
AS to Barber's natural style, size,
action, color, individuality and his
extra gentle and sensible qualities,
which he transmits to his offspring,
and his far superior breeding quail
ties, proof of which is established by
him. being thoroughbred in every re-
spect, We feel safe in saying to one
and all that, all things considered,
we regard him by far the best stall
lion in the State for all classes of
mares.
Barber is a red bay, A years old, ex-
ira fine set of black legs and splen-
did feet, over 16 hands high, weighs
in medium flesh 1850 pounds, has
good disposition as family horse and
is as sound as a silver dollar. We
will gladly do business with our old
patrons and hope to have many new
ones with good mares this season.
Ask to see him when in town. Care
taken to prevent accidents, but not
responsible should any occur.

KILL HIMSELF
He Couldn't, After Repeated
Attempts and Arrest
for Same.

EnOch Drevesbrale, of Pittman, was
taken over to the state penitentiary
this morning to serve out three con-
secutive sentences of three years each
for attempted suicide and at the same
time judgment was entered by confess
sion against him for $4,000 damages
on behalf of the town OF Pittman as
result of his unsuccessful attempts
to leave this world.
There is an artificial lake in Pitt
man. or rather a pond, which is
formed by a dam extending across the
ravne down through which the Ov-
erflOw from an aTtesian well runs,
and this little sheet water, though
neither wide nor long, is very deep,
some 80 feet. Three months ago
Drevesbrale, being then in a very de-
spondent frame of mind because of
an unfortunate love affair, wrapped
about 80 pounds of small chains
around his body under his coat and,
going down to the middle of the wall
across the ravine at the lower end Of
the little lake, he took a large dyna-
mite cartridge with a waterproof fuse
in his left hand, lighted the fuse and
then drew out a revolver and tried
to shoot a ball through his head. He
fired too high, merely stunning him
self, but inasmuch as he was then
leaning over the water he promptly
fell in and went to the bottom like a
stone, the chains carrying him down
very swiftly.
Whether he released his hold on the
dynamite cartridge any length of time
is not known, but he must have re-
leased il before it went off, for sink
ing down at or about the same rate
at which he did, it reached the bottom
before it exploded and then, lying as
it was, fright at the bottom of the wall,
its force was sufficient to blow a large
hole some six feet across in the ma
sonry and through this the imprisoned
water rushed with great force, taking
che insensible body of Drevesbrale
with it and dashing it recklessly and
carelessly along over the INSTRUCTIONS

He was carried away to the hos

legs and one arm were broken, but
with good nursing he recovered rap
idly and last week was ready for
trial on the three charges of attempt
ing suicide by shooting, drowning and
explosion of dynamite, and to an
swer to the action of the town against
him for destroying the retaining wall.
He pleaded guilty to all the accu-
sations and was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment on each and he
then confessed judgment in favor of
the town for the amount demanded
