The Country Life.

Not what we would, but what we must,
Makes up the sum of living;
Heaven IS both more and less than just
In taking and in giving.
Swords cleave to hands that sought the
pillow,
And laurels miss the soldiers brow.
Me, whom the city holds, whose feet
Have worn its stony highways,
Familiar with its loneliest street
Its ways were never my ways.
My cradle was beside the sea,
And there, l hope, my grave will be.
Old homestead In that old, gray town.
Thy vane is seward blowing,
The slip of garden stretches down
To where the tide is flowing:
Below they lie, their sails all furled,
The ships that go about the world.
Bearer that little country house,
Inland, with pines beside it;
Some peach trees, with unfruitful boughs.
A well, with weeds to hide it;
No flowers, or only such as rise
Self-sown, poor things, which all despise
Dear country home! Can forget
The least of thy sweet trifes?
The window vines that Chamber yet,
Whose bloom the bee still rifles?
The roadside blackberries, growing ripe,
And in the woods the Indian Pipe2
Happy the man who tills his field,
Content with rustic labor;
Earth does to him her fullness yield,
Hap what may to his neighbor.
Well days, sound nights, oh, can there be
A life more rational and free?
Dear country life of child and mani
For both the best, the strongest,
That with the earliest race began,
And hast outlived the longest
Their cities persisted long ago;
Who the first farmers were we know.
Perhaps our Babels, too, will fallj
If so, no lamentations,
For Mother Earth will shelter all,
And feed the unborn nations;
Yes, and the swords that menace now,
Will then be beaten to the pillow.

THE PASSING OF THE FOREST.

AS long the forest shall live,
The streams shall flow onward, still singing
Sweet songs of the woodland, and bringing
The bright living waters that give
New life to all mortals who thirst.
But the faces of shall be cursed
Yea, the hour of destruction shall come
To the children of in that day
When the forest shall pass away;
When the low woodland voices dumb;
And deaths devastation and dearth
Shall be spread DER the face of the earth
Avenging the death of the wood,
The turbulent streams shall outpour
Their walls OF wrath, and
Shall their banks hold back the high food,
Which shall rush DER the harvests Of men;
AS swiftly receding again.
Lo after the flood shall be dearth
And the rain no longer shall fall
On the parching fields; and pail,
As Of ashes, shall the earth;
And dustcouds shall darken the sky;
And the deep water wells shall be dry
And the rivers shall sink in the ground,
And every his mouth
From the thckening dust, in that drouth;
Shall be borne the desolate air
But a of death and despair.

VERY DOUBTFUL
Is the Result in the State
of Kentucky.
REPUBLICANS CLAIM STATE
You Will Just Have to Wait a
Few Hours to Find the
Actual Result.

The latest reports of the election
places Ohio county at about 600 Re
publican majority. At IL o'clock
last night Democratic headquarters
had not conceded the State to the
Republicans. On the other hand the
Republicans claimed the State by
about twenty thousand. The State
Legislature is in doubt. The Repub-
licsns started out with almost the
solid liquor vote of the State behind
them and on the eve of the election
played their hand for the anti-liquor
element of the Republican party and
won.
The following is the vote cast in
the city election for Councilmen:
w. E. Ellis, 112; J. H. b. Carson, 1O5;
j. H. Patton, 50; f. Crabtree, 1O3;
Hooker Williams, 1870; G. B. Likens,

the election of w. E. Ellis and Hook

ct and Wayne Griffin, r. h. Lee

ENGLISH ETCHlNGS.

1t Is estimated that the laundries Of
London use 750 tons Of soap in a week.
In 1908 you could buy three quarts

A woman seventy-one years old, ac-
cused at Feltham, England, OF intoxi-

had been keeping up" her mothers
birthday. Her mother was ninety

Four peers. eleven baronets and thir-

reality the Liberal ministry did 1t, the

PLEA OF INSANITY IS
THAWS DEFENSE
His Attorney Convinced That
His Client is of I'm
sound Mind.

New York, Oct. 31.-Announcement
was made to-day that insanity is to
be the plea in the defense of Harry
Kendall Thaw. whose second trial for
the Staying of Stanford White will be-
gin on december 3, next.
Martin w. Littleton, chief counsel
for Thaw, it is stated, has decided on
this course. He is said to be convinced
that Thaw is insane, and has not
adopted this course as merely theory
OIL which to conduct a successful de-
Tense. but because he feels certain of
the unsound mental condition of his
client.
Every since he took charge OF the
case it is said, Mr.. Littleton has given
the question of Thaw's mentality care
full study. He has traced the 'rhaw
family tree and, it is said, has decid-
ed that the insanity of Thaw may
have been an inheritance.
In this connection, it is recalled
that Mrs. William Thaw, mother OF
the accused, emphatically denied dur
ing the last trial that in the direct
line of descent there had been any
trace of either epilepsy or insanity.
Seven alienists testified, however,
that Thaw, in their opinion was in
sane, and had been insane for some
years.
Much testimony along this line was
brought out in the trial, which reach
ed a climax when. District Attorney
Jerome, in tears, gave his opinion
that he was trying an insane man and
that he felt that it was wrong to pro-
coed with the trial under these cir
cumstances. ~

Shot His Crazy Father.

Hopkinsville, KY, Oct. 3O,--While in
a fit of mental alteration this after
noon, John White, a prominent far
mel of South Christian, chased his
son, Ed White, with an ak. He fl
nally cornered him in the coal house,
when the boy drew a pistol and fir
ed four times, every bullet taking eff
feet in his fathers body, and death
being instantaneous. The boy is I'M
der age.
Father and son had attended sale
together to-day, and it is thought that
the former became incensed at some

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT.

Some of the great newspapers OF
the day, such, for instance, as the
Washington Post, the New YorkTimes
and the philadelphia Press, are trying
very hard to mix up Roosevelt and
BRYAN. 1t looks as if these papers
were booming Bryan in the interest of
another nomination for Roosevelt
The Press seems to think that Mr..
Bryan will be nominated, that he Is
no ordinary man, and that no Re
publican but Roosevelt could defeat
him. The Times is of the same opin-
ion. The Post says: Take the tar
ife out, and what is the difference he
tween Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt?
And again it says: IF Mr.. Bryan
were President, wherein would we
reverse the policies of Mr.. ROOSEVELT
Now there is just the same difference
or more difference-between Bryan
and Roosevelt as there was between
jefferson and Hamilton. Mr. Bryan
is opposed to the big stick policy
of Roosevelt, and this constitutes
radical difference. Bryan is opposed
10 Roosevelts idea of granting i'm
munity to criminal individuals who
do the dirty work of the corporations,
while Roosevelt is the parent and de-
fender of that policy. And there Is
ant Their radical difference. Bryan be-
lieyes in the principles of the Decla-
ration of Independence and all the
principles of Jefferson, while Roose-
welt despises and denounces those
principles. On almost all fundamen-
tai principles of government they are
as far apart as the poles. Their diff
ferences are irreconcilable. Bryan
believes as Jackson and Others OF his
time believed respecting the dangers
and evils of the banking system, while
Roosevelt favors to the utmost the
greatest of the national banks and the
whole system of concentrating the ef-
forts of. and aiding the money pow
or.
II is at the difference between well
defined ideas and principles In OPP
posite directions. Bryan opposes the
srbsidizing of ship-owners while
Roosevelt favors it. No two men were
ever more completely and universally
opposed in theory or practice, yet we
hear of Roosevelt Democrats and
Bryan Republicans, and we find
Roosevelts supporters trying to Gre
ate the impression that he is sup
porting Dryan's theories.
This silly subterfuge Is well financ-
ed. but 1t will not work. Whether OF
not Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Roosevelt VIII

AUTOMOBILE SALESMAN
BECOMES A BENEDICT
Bridal Couple Go to San Diego on
Honeymoon in Rambler Car
and Find Trip Most
Pleasant


Charles Cowan, head salesman for the
Rambler company in this city, has be-
come a benedict.
Mr.. Cowan and Miss Christina Reedal
were married last week and have just
returned from honeymoon trip to San
Diego.
The trip was made in Rambler car,
and though the genial salesman has been
over the road to the southern metropolis
many times on business he says that this
was the first trip that he had chance
to enjoy the scenery. The route taken
was the inland one and no attempt was
made to set a new record.
Never before" said Mr.. Cowan, "have
enjoyed the trip more; the views along
the way made a continuous panorama
of beauty and everything was altogether
lovely"
Mr.. Cowan has reached the conclusion
that the most pleasure is obtainable from
touring only when man is married.
