CARRIE NATION
AT KINGSWOOD.
1.-The Famous Kansas Cyclone in
Skirts" Lectures to a Good
Crowd Thursday.

People from Hardinsburg. Glendeane
and from several other places in Breck-
enridge county, went to Kingswood
Thursday to hear Mrs. Carrie Nation
speak. She delivered two lectures, one
in the afternoon and the other at night.
Mrs. Nation told the audiences the evils
of drink, that are known only too well,
then advanced her ideas as no to cut
out the evil and build up the good which
she partially does with a Ratchet.
During her stay at Kingswood she was
entertained by Rev. and Mrs Hughes,
principals of Kingswood College.
Mrs. Nation gave wait-a-minute
talk here at the depot Thursday morn
ing while the east bound train on which
she was passenger was at the station,
and her impromptu speech on whisky
and tobacco was a treat to those who
heard her.
HER FIRST RATCHET WORK.
The first time Mrs. Nation ever used
her hatchet in a saloon was the night
her son, who was under age, came home
drunk. She became so indignant at the
saloon keeper, who let her son have the
whisky unlawfully, that she and another
woman took their hatchets that night
and broke up the saloon That was
what started her, and it is enough to
start any mother. Though the fat little
woman, with black eyes and hair that is
thickly tinted with grey, has been put
in Jail thirty times and paid $4,000 IN
fines, she has been victorious and will
be until the eud.

Mrs. Eliza B. Webb, of Louisville,

after a short visit to relatives there.
Mrs Webb had baskets filed with
butter and eggs and other things good
to eat that are scarce in the city.
Although Mrs. Webb has travelled a
great deal and seen many places, Clo-
verport still interests to her, and she
got near a window that she might see
the town as she passed through.

THE DAY OF THE FARMER.
Occupation Properly Recognized as
One Of the Professions.

The farmer who is not an amateur
days life. In fact, farming is rapidly
becoming one Of the professions. We
have our agricultural schools, just as
we have our law schools.
1t is getting to be a business as
we'll. Farmers have their trusts, like
other manufacturers.
1t Is far cry from the New Eng
land farmer, trying to arrange an ex-
ploded granite quarry into stone
wall that he may have room in which
to plant his crop, and that master Of
capital, science. and black earth ten
feet deep who plows with traction
engine and reaps with ten horse
team. And between these two types
of farmers the drift is steadily toward
the latter.
The comic paper does not laugh at
the granger" as frequently as 1t used
to laugh 1t wants his subscription.
The capitalist does not foreclose
mortgages on the prairie farm now.
He borrows money OF its owner
And, what Is vastly more impor-
tant, the entire country looks with a
respect bordering upon apprehension
on this new type Of American who
has decided views on railroads, trusts,
and, in fact, on every subject, from
the green bug" to the lecturer at his
Chautauqua. This rise of the farmer
into national significance is welcome
in view OF the inundation of great
cities by immigrants who have sig
nificance only en- masse.
The farm is the nursery OF individ-
ualism. II you are a cliff dweller in
the city send your boy there this sum-
mer and let him see what 1t means to
create wealth, with the help of nature
rather than with the ticker You will

Plea for American Art.

In no other part OF the world does

son Smith in Leslies Weekly. The

citation and pride their people take In
their own native art. With us, except
In rare instances-largely matter Of
price and approval (quite a different
matter from appreciation)-w ignore
to a great extent the canvases OF our
best men. and flll our galleries and
homes with the work OF foreigners.
Only when one dies and the output OF
that particular painter Is ended and
the dealer corrals what Is left. and.
having thus cornered the market on
that particular brush, doubles and
quadruples the price. only then is
their work appreciated. That the
dealer, perhaps. had kept this particu.
lar canvas in cold storage for years,
having paid but few hundred dollars
for II. in order to reap the many
thousands later on, never seems to
appeal to the buyer.
