the nurse of Mr.. Chinn's little daugh-
ter, Eleanor, who is about three years
old. She had had charge of the child
from her babyhood, and was devoted
to her. One day last July Mrs Chinn
was descending the steps from the
elevated railway, followed by the
nurse carrying the child in her arms
When they were about ten feet from
the street the nurse stumbled and
lost her balance. Realizing that the
child in her arms might be killed or
seriously injured, the devoted nurse
turned as she fell so that she struck
the pavement on her back, but hold
ing the child safely above her. The
devoted woman suffered serious in
ternal injuries by the fall, and al
though everything possible was done
to save her life, it was in vain and
she died a few days ago.

GROWING CHILDREN.
Some Advice to the Moth
erS of Hartford.

Perhaps the most important princi-
pie involved in the care OF "A child is
proper nourishment.
How many delicate children do we
meet on our streets with colorless
cheeks and thin little legs and arms.
1t is very plain to DE seen that rapid
growth takes all their strength and
their little codes are not receiving
sufficient nourishment TO make them
well, strong and robust.
We want to say to the parents of
all such children in Hartford that our
delicious cod liver and iron prepara-
ton, Vinol, will build up delicate chill
dren, fill out hollow cheeks and make
them strong, robust and rosy Vinol
makes new vitality, sound flesh and
muscle tissue and pure, rich red blood,
and children love it. This is because
Vinol is a delicious tasting cod liver
preparation without oil, made by q
scientific, extractive and concentrating
process from fresh Gods livers, thus
combining with peptonate Of iron all
the medicinal. healing, bodybuilding
elements Of cod liver oil, but no
oil.
AS body builder and strength Gre
atOf for old people. delicate children,
weak, rundown persons, after sick
ness, and for chronic coughs, colds,

age, when Beckham, Democrat, re-
ceived 1854 votes and Belknap, Re-
publican, 3,444. giving Beckham a
majority In the county of LAO. The
Democratic majority this year is,
thus, $50 votes less than four years
ago.
This falling off is wholly due to
the fact that Democrats did not vote,
for the Republican ticket did not
poll as large vote this year as in
1903. The total vote this year was
6,946, against S,02S in 1908, falling
off of 1882 votes. The Democratic
vote in 1903 was 1854; this year, 81
744, falling off of $40 votes. The
Republican vote four years ago was
3,444; this year, 1928. a falling off

QUITE A POLITICIAN
Is Governor-Elect Angus
tus E. Wilson.
SHORT SKETCH OF MR.W|LLSON
First Became a Candidate for
Public Office Back in
the Year 1884.

Augustus Z. Wilson, the Governor
elect of Kentucky, has been prominent
in Republican politics in Kentucky
since 1854 when he became a candidate
TO- the State Senatorship against AL
bert s. Willis In the district between
Filth and Shelby streets, Louisville.
He was at that time the law partner
of Gen. John Harlan, now of the I'm
tied States Supreme bench. lie was
the nominee OF his party for Congress
in 1886, in 1888 and 1892, and served
as a delegate to the Republican Ma
tiCnal Conventions of 1883, 1892 and
1896.
Turing the A. p. A. agitation in
1895 Mr.. Wilson fell out of line with
his party through his defense of the
rights of Catholic voters, and had
taken no personally active part in
politics until his nomination last July,
with the exception of making contest
for the same honor in 1903 when Nor
ris Belknap was nominated tor the
office.
The first public service of Mr.. Will
son was when, as chief clerk of the
Treasury Department for nearly two
years, he assisted in smashing the
"whiskey ring which endeavored to
eVade the payment of internal revenue
taxes. This was Immediately after he
had been admitted to partnership with
Gen. Harlan in 1874, and when he was
twenty-eight years old. Before this
he had studied law for four years with
the firm of Lathrop, Bishop & Lincoln
in Boston, Mass, and with the firm of
Harlan & Newman in Louisville after
his graduation from Harvard Uniyer-
sity in 1869.
Mr.. Wilson was born at Maysville,
KY, October 10, 1S4S, of New England
Baptist parents, who emigrated over
land TO Pittbsurg, Pa, and thence to
Kentucky in 1915. In 1852 the family
removed to Covington and thence to
New Albany, Ind. After his fathers
death the family went with his Oldest
brother, Forsythe Wilson, one of the
most favorably known of the early
minor poets, to Cambridge, Mass,
where Mr.. Wilson remained until 1870
when he returned to make his home in
Louisville. He was married in 1877
to Miss Mary Ekin. daughter ofGen.

NIAGARA OF THE SOUTH"
Is Kentucky's Boast Of Beautiful Falls
Situated on Cumberland River in
Heart Of Kentucky Mountains.

In the very heart Of the Kentucky
mountains, on the grand old Cumber-
land river, is a mighty waterfall which
has rightly been styled the Niagara
of the South" The comparison with
Niagara is strong, but to realize full
ly the similarity, one must listen to
the noise of the waters as they drop
straight down for seventy feet and
witness the rushing Of the nearby rap
ids. Kentucky holds in store no more
interesting sight excepting the Nam
meth Cave. On account of its seclu-
sion less is really known of this wat
erfall than many others less notable.
The nearest approach by train is Cum
berland Falls Station, thirteen miles
distant.
The upper Cumberland valley lies
between Northumberland mountains and
the Pine mountains in Kentucky, the
Cumberland mountains being on the
border between Kentucky and Virgin
ia. The Black and Brush peaks rise
from the valley to a greater height
than either of the ranges. Cumber-
land Gap is situated at the point
where Kentucky, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia join. On the opposite side of
the valley from Cumberland Gap the
Cumberland river cuts through the
Pine mountains at Pine Gap and from
this point soon thereafter reachesCum-
berland Falls.
The main falls are $50 feet wide in
high water and about 140 feet i'll med
ium stage. To be exact about the
main drop of these falls, it is just 6S
feet. Two hundred feet above there
is another drop of II feet. The pool
below the main falls is Is feet in
depth.
Engineers who have investigated the
possibilities of developing the water
power of the Niagara of the South
estimate that there would be 10000
horsepower available all the year
round and 10000 horsepower during
the spring and summer months.

next. Time is the most important factor in finance. If every one of us were to pay what we owed the world would be largely square with itself, for there gre few who owe more than their "assets" call for. When confidence reigns, money passes free- ly from hand to hand; when condi- tions are disturbed the movement is retarded, and it depends upon the pressure of the brake just how far the panic shall proceed. The con- clusion of those who have studied the present situation in the light of the past, says one writer, is that a more classic" or more "nimble," if you please, currency. is required. It seems foolish to even consider the possibility, out does not the tendency of the times point toward the re- monetization of silver?
