What Is Kindergarten?

So many ask, "What is Kindergar-
ten?" | might reply that it is every
thing that tends to broaden and uplift
the child to a happier ana more whole
some plane Of living. 1t tends to make
HIM more optimistic. 1t helps him to
meet more brayely the trials and temp
tations that come into every life. 1t
is a continuation of Sunday School in a
broader sense. Kindergarten is Ger
man for child garden. You cultivate
your flower yard, your garden. You
nourish the tender plants pluck up the
weeds and do all you can to make the
plants give you the best returns. You
are working all the time to keep the
weeds out. We must do all we can to
keep evil thoughts out of children's
minds. There is an underlying princi-
pie in every song that is sung, in ev-
cry game that is played in Kindergar-
Some get more out of it than others,
just as some older people get more out
| of life.
Then kindergarten is character build
ing. There never was a mother who
did not want her child to ~develope into
a noble mar or But not many

the physical, mental and spiritual train
ing of their children they would like.
Then comes the kindergarten to sup
plement the home training, and if pa
rents will work hand in hand with it,
the noblest of all training will have
been accomplished. For indeed it seems
to every Kindergarten teacher that
this is the most holy of all school work.
Through this training--he learns by the
most gentle steps-the meaning OF sys-
tenn and discipline and prepares his
mind for study, so that when he does
start to school, study is not al irksome
task but a pleasant duty.
Froebel, the originator of Kindergar-
ten, was the first to see the unity OF
continuity linking childhood, youth and
adult-hood. He realized the impossi-
bility of reaching the highest culture
and power, unless the fullest develop
ment had been reached in the preced-
ing culture epochs of childhood. Pa
rents, you want your child to be we'll
educated along all lines, that he may be
able to accept and appreciate the best
in life; but unless he is permitted to
develope the epoch that comes during
kindergarten age-from three to sew
en-all mas not been lone TOR that child
that could have been done.
Ifyour child reaches adult-hood he
will be happier for his Kindergarten
training. But suppose God should have
need of him while he is still a child,
woud you not be glad that you had
put this bright period in his little life
while he was Oh earth with you? For
a child cannot help but be happier for
being in a kindergarten.
Now, then, what does a child get out
of kindergarten training? Without
consciousness or words on his part, he
will have distracted this; that feeling
right, thinking right, doing right to-
wards the world, towards man, towards
God is being right. Then he is helped
to realize the end for which he was in
tended.

Another Quilting.

Yes, another quilting by that same
band of earnest workers-the home mis-

they had ample room for a half dozen
quits, if need be. There were two
both of them upstairs where a lively
coterie of ladies gathered around.
Though they were earnest workers
and piled their needles we'll, they be-
LEVIED in a little fun. Gay laughter and
brilliant repartee could be heard on all
sides.
Down stairs in a large, comfortable
room. were the younger constituent,
cutting and sewing. Under their nim-
BILE fingers, many garments We're fin
ished ere the hour for home going
came.
Anything to eat? Bless your heart,
yes, and plenty of it! Another old
fashion dinner. Turkey and all the ct
ceteras. Such delicious ice cream and
cake, too, folio we'd bya warming with
hot coffee. Mrs. McGaughy makes an
ideal hostess, and presided with her
usual easy grace and charm of manner.
Her home is so happily adapted for any

STATE Pure FOOD
BILL PASSES House
Will Soon be Ready for Cover
nor'S Signature Favored
By All Interested.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 11.--Kentucky's
pure food law, which has now passed
both houses and will go TO the Gov
ernor for his signature as soon as the
bill which passed the House can be sent
back to the Senate for its concurrence,
is regarded as a model law of its kind.
The bill which passed the House this
morning is identical with the bill
which passed the Senate, but it will
have to go back to the Senate, which
go to the Governor for his signature.
and with it will become law. 1t
has the odd distinction of being ia
vored by the druggists. the foodstuff
dealers and the liquor people, all of
whom areregulated under it's provis-
ions. Samuel Castleman, Jr., of Tor
bitt & Castleman, and Mark Blake
more,of the Goodwin Preserving COM
pany, both of Louisville, were here
to-day to see the bill through the
House, as they have been much inter-
ested in its passage and have repre-
scented the manufacturers of Louisville
all of whom want the bill to become
a law.
The bill is modelled along the same
lines as the national food law and will
require the proper labelling of all foods
and liquors and drugs so that the pur-
chaser will know what he is buying,
and puts heavy penalty on the vio-
lators OF the law or those who adulter.
atefood or drugs. The provision as to
whisky and its labelling follows the
ruling of the national law and pro-
vides that the Supreme Courts decis-
ion as to what shall constitute like
substances will be binding in Ken
lucky. The bill which passed and which
will become a law is known as the
Lillard bill, having been introduced
and put through by Col. E. w. Lillard.
of Boyle county.

New York amounts to 44,9S5,367, an
increase of $11,S7s,660 since December
81, 1906. To be accurate, the amount
of foreign merchandise now in bonded

amounted to s44,9S5.367. Bonded
warehouses are maintained at every

it is fair to assume that at least $780,
600 900 in value of foreign merchan-

Wife fights In Vain
To Save HUSBAND.
Holding Woman in Room Ed Boyd
y Shoots Himself Through
the Brain.

Central City, Ky, Feb. Ed Boyr.
IA well know young man of this city,
shot himself through the head this
morning at 10 O'Clock. and though still
alive there is no possible chance for
his recovery. He had been in poor
health ever since h was badly burned
on the face and head a year ago in
the mines at DrakesboIo, and was suf-
fering from nervous trouble. He had
complained more than usual this morn
ing. failing to arise for breakfast. At
about 8 o'clock he secured a pistol
and was attempting to take his life,
when his wife discovered him and
took posse ssiCn of the weapon. Plac-
ing the pistol in a trunk that was in
a small hall just adjoining their room,
she locked the trunk and, tying the
key to her handkerchief, placed both
in her dress. At about 10 o'clock
Boyd by force secured possession of
the key from his wife, and, stepping
into the hall, unlocked the trunk, Sc
cured the pistol and deliberately
shot himself in the head, in the mean
time holding the door that confined
his wife in the room which he had
just left, although she was frantically
trying to open it and save his life.
On account of having the use of only
one hand. his aim was high, else
death would have been instantaneous.
His wife had just recovered from
a severe attack of appendicitis and
is now confined to her bed, complete
ly Frustrated. Boyd was the son of
Ben c. Boyd, life insurance agent
of this city, and besides stepmoth-
er and half sister, Miss Irene oyd,
he is survived by a sister, Mrs. James
Lacefield, of this city.

nine men MET
INSTANT Death
When Coal Mines Exploded at
South CarrOlItOn.
Heart Rending Scenes About
Opening as Bodies Were
Brought Out.

South Carrollton, Ky, Feb. 1O-Nine
men met almost instant death and
one was so badly injured that his
death is expected al any moment in
an explosion in the mine of the Moody
Coal company at o'clock this after
noon.
The dead are: Robert Cook, white.
aged forty-five years, married. John
Bush, white, aged fifty years. married.
The remaining seven dead miners are
negroes and are as follows: Hugh
Corbin, Dick Blackjack. Pete Cation,
Charles Van and his young son. Char
les Ross, Pate Penick. James Bryant
white aged twenty-five years. and
married was removed from the mine
in an unconscious condition and his
body is horribly mangled.
The exact cause of the explosion
will probably never be known. There
We're thirteen men working in the
shaft, which is one hundred and eighty
feet deep, at the time of the explosion.
Ten of them were preparing for shot
when a terrific explosion occurred. The
three others who We're in a different
part of the mine rushed to the room
from hich theyw could hear the cries
and means of their mangled COM
panions.
Lying about on the floor, several
of them already dead, the three min
ers found their companions.
The uninjured miners ran to the cage
and found it had been damaged by
the explosion. They gave the alarm
to the men at the opening OF the shaft
but it was nearly an hour and a half
before the cage was in working order
and the rescue of the bodies of the
miners could begin.
1t was s o'clock before all of the
bodies had been brought to the sur
face. Life was extinct in all save
Bryant, and he was in an unconsci-
Gus condition and the physicians are
holding out very little hope for his
recovery.
The news of the explosion spread
quickly over the little mining town.
and in a few minutes scores of peo-
pie were crowding about the opening
of the mine. There were several minars
who were not at work in the shaft
to-day, but their families did not know
whether they We're in the mine at
the time of the accident or not.
Women and children dashed frantic
tally about weeping and calling for
their loved ones. AS each body was
brought to the surface there was Il
rush forward to identify the remains.
The bodies were quickly removed to
their homes.
The officers of the company do not
give an explanation tonight for the
accident. 1t is believed that the set
ting off of the blast caused bust or
black damp" explosion in the mine.
This is the first serious accident in
many years at South Carrollton.
