TO CLEAR THE TABLE.
A Little System Which Works Won.
doris and AccompIshes Much.

One Of the chief Indicate Of a. we'll
regulated household is the rapidity
with which breakfast dinner or tea
things arc cleared away and restored
TO their respective places, and how to
excel In this respect is something ev-
Dry young housewife should know.
Where there is a. full domestic staff.
with a. constant supply Of hot water,
this is, of course, an easy task, but
even under less favorable circum-
stances a little good management will
greatly simplify tho task of washing
up.
Take care that the kettle or boiler is
filled before the commencement Of the
meal: then at tho conclusion there will
he no delay caused by waiting for hot
water. See that you have large, dry,
clean towels to dry or polish the dishes
with. Begin with the glasses, cups.
saucers and other similar articles, re-
serving till the last those which have
been used for greasy food.
II you have a plate rack over the
sink SO much the better II not let
your plates drain for a minute or two
on a. thickly folded towel after taking
them from the water This makes
your towel last dry all the longer and
lessons the labor IF polishing. A small
teaspoonfu1 Of soap powder of a few
drops of cloudy ammonia added to the
water greatly facilitates the task of
washing up. Each article must be
well rinsed afterward in bowl Of
clean water

Midnight Mass in tho Penal Days.


The candles arc lit in the lonely glen;
The priest is vested, the clerk Is
there:
A stone for an altar, and women and
Are gathering round in the midnight
air.
Gathering up from the spreading vale.
Gathering down from the mountain
pass;
'Tis Christmas Eve, none must fail
TO tell their beads at the Midnight
Mass.
Silently falls the drifting snow
Falls at the feet Of angels light:
they go
Go like spectres across the night.
stealthill watchfully over the moor,
Wary of tarn and deep morass,
Till they stand by the sogarth's side
secure.
In the Glen of the Gorse at Midnight
Mass.
Grouped together, the young and old.
Maiden, matron, sire and son;
Grouped together, the brave and bold,
Banned in the valleys their fathers
won,
Kneel they there on the muffled sod,
Sighful and fearful. alas! alas!
Bending low in their prayer to God
For succor and help at the Midnight
Mass
Slowly. solemnly tinkles theb ell,
Raises the priest the host on high;
Rises upward with surging swell
A sorrowful peoples prayerful cry:
Save us. o God! from the blood
hounds tooth,
The bigot's wrath and the scaffold's
doom:
Keep US. o God. in the paths of truth
In our woeful journey toward the
Ruined altar and rifed fame,
Scattered homestead and blighted
hearth.

that battle, the seth lost 16 officers

IF WILSON IS The
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
The Hager Contingent Will Have
Big Political Dealers Lead
ing Democratic Paper.

The Covington Courier, a Democrat
ic paper, complains, in a recent issue,
that the Democrats are denied State
convention and State platform. The
same paper criticises the nomination
of Judge Lassing, and concludes: Gar
any Democratic newspaper in the
State say with truthfulness than in
It's baiiwick there is any enthusiasm
for the Democratic State ticket? If
so, we would like to be informed up
on that part of the question. Is ii
not a fact that many Democrats all
over the State will do one of two
things-vote the Republican ticket OF
not vote at all?
Therein the hope of the Republic
an party lies in capturing the Legis-
lature and electing Brady Senator
and electing a Governor, and If Au-
gustus Wilson is the nominee for Gov
ernor, the Hager party will have the
biggest political fight on its hands
that has ever occurred in the State"
All the Republicans of Kentucky
have to do is to nominate the best
ticket available. We have the mel
for candidates and we have the voters
in number more than sufficient to
elect them. More than sufficient, mark
you, of protesting Republicans to elect
fhn,.n In, L
But the tabernacles of Republicanism
are wide open for all Democrats who
desire to come into the fold of good
government and clean administration
Shall we throw away the opportunity
to deliver the State from bondage and
brigandage? The sun is in the Heav-
ems TO shine upon all. TIe only pre-
fers obscurity and darkness may deny
himself its light, its joy and its
in the free American armament. II
shines for all, save those who seclude
themselves from its radiance. Ken
lucky has for well nigh fifty years
wandered in the desert of Democratic
sin and segregation. Look now, she
should, into the open, the broad, ver-
dant fields, the magnificent highways
and the sparkling waters of American
progress. Resolve she should to bt
the Pennsylvania of the South in man
ufacturing, the New York of the South
in fruit raising, the Ohio of the South
in horticulture, and the Illinois of the
South in cattle raising.
This result she can achieve in one
way only-putting on the armor Of
Republican righteousness.

A Happy Idea.

1t is proposed to hold during The
jamestown exposition a meeting Of
the descendants of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. The
idea is peculiarly happy. No better
place for such gathering than the
spot where the cradle of the Ameri-
can nation was rocked. Great men
were the signers of the Declaration,
truly patriotic and unselfish. The
risks they took, the dangers they
faced were grave, indeed. Their act
involved the setting up of thin line
of lightly populated Atlantic coast
colonies against the strongest and
wealthiest Government on earth. But
they We're men of faith and hope and
courage. The very last sentence of
the historic document attests their
high character: For the support of
this declaration. with a firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence
we mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor"
Kentucky has several counties nam
ed for signers of the Declaration of
independence. jefferson is so called
for the author of The celebrated in
strument. Carroll bears the name of
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, lead
ing citizen of Maryland and one of
the richest men in the colonies, who
put everything, life, fortune and al
earthly prospects at hazard for his
country's benefit. Nelson county per-
petuates the name and memory OF
Thomas Nelson, who after signing
the Declaration, served as Governor OF
Virginia. NFranklin county keeps in
mind the immortal services of Ben
famine Franklin, author, diplomat
philosopher, philanthropist and states
man, one of the most celebrated men
in the worlds history.
The gathering should include not

The Only Way.

There is no safe method of deter
mining the butter qualities of a herd
except by testing or churning the mill
of each COW separately. The bulk OF
the milk is not sure indication. Very
often the cow that gives but a moder-
ate quantity of milk may yield the
largest amount of butter. In breeding
up herd knowledge of the charac-
teristics of each cow will enable the
dairyman to breed for the best re-
suits, as the superior cows may be
used for breeding to thoroughbred
bulls. 1t does not pay to keep the
calves unless the merits of their sires
and dams are well known.

AS result the world gained it's
greatest Power, mankind its firmest
security against despotism and disas-
ter. Off that same historic water
front took place the first battle be-
tween ironclads, which revolutionized
naval warfare. Fitting, then, is it
that in those water should assemble
steel-clad ships from all parts of the
world in numbers never before SEEN
Just before death President William
Mckinley said that 'expositions are
the timekeepers of progress. They rec
ord the worlds advancement. They
stimulate the energy, enterprise and
intellect of the people, quicken the
human genius. They go into the
home. They broaden, brighten the
daily life of the people,"
Expeditions are vast storehouses of
information TO the students. Not an
exposition, great or small, but has
helped on some onward step. Edu-
cation always is comparison of ideas,
for thereby hand and brain are in
structed. The resultant friendly ri
valry spurs to industrial improvement.
From expositins comes the inspiration
to useful invention and to high en-
deavor in all departments of human
endeavor.
The jamestown exposition will be no
exception to the rule. OF inestima-
BILE value will it prove, especially to
