PARIS KENTUCKY. TUESDAY. MARCH II, 1908
Bourbon Circuit Court.

The wheels of justice are dragging
slowly in the Circuit Court since our
last issue. Motions and arguments in
equity cases having taken up the time
of the court in the past few days. The
jurors were excused Thursday until
yesterday morning.
The case OF the School Board against
the City of Fairs and the members of
the Council, In which mandamus was
asked for by the Board to require the
city to pay over to VIM. Myall the
S42. OOO-received from the sale of bonds,
was argued for three hours on Thurs
day morning and for the same length
of time on Friday morning, when Court
took the matter under aGvisement.
Instead of the law being so plain that
ten year old child could not misunder-
stand it, it seems to be as knotty legal
proposition as one could we'll imagine.
Mayor O'Brlen appeared for the city
and in presenting mis- case made what
was conceded to be, by those who
heard it, one of the clearest, most logI-
cal and exhaustive legal arguments
heard in court for a long time. Whether
he wins or loses this case he demon
strated the fact that in the matter of
ability and knowledge of the law he
easily ranks with the best lawyers of
Paris bar. Judge Stout has not as
yet handed down decision and did not
indicate when ne would.
The case of Rankin VS.. Fry, an APP
pealed case from the Bourbon Quarter
ly Court, was tried yesterday morning.
resulting in Judgement for $50 in favor
of the plaintiff.
The damage case of Daisy Bolts VS..
Sarah WOolstein, was on motion of at
tOrney for plaintiff dismissed without
prejudice.

New Homemade Candy.

THERE is new recipe for making
candy which is claiming the place
once owned by fudge. This new bonbon
Is called divinity and il is made In
this way: Take two saucepans: into one
put three cupfuls OF graduated sugar. a
cupful Of thick strip and two-thirds of a
cupful of water. Into the other saucepan
put n cupful of granulated sugar and half
q cupful of water. The contents OF both
pans are allowed to cook till the strip
in them will spin thread when poured
from q spoon. or make a soft ball be
tween the fingers when dropped into very
cold water. When both are ready the
srup in the first pan is slowly turned
over the Stiffiy beaten whites of three
eggs. a continual beating going on dur
ing the process. Then the second sirlIi,
into which has been stirred a cupful ut
cracked nuts, is turned over and -hc
frothy mass turned into buttered tins
to cool. When cold enough mark into
blocks with very sharp knife.

HONEYSUCKLE.

IN the warm. sunny days. when hedges
and lanes are rich with flowers. there
is TO sweeter one than honeysuckle.
High up on the branches of hawthorne
and rose trees IL twines its stems, and its
blossoms droop over the pathways often
just out of reach.
In the early spring one can sometimes
see tree, still quite bare OF leaves OF
Its own. that has simmer of green
over Ii. because a honeysuckle has twined
itself round its stem and branches. and
is bursting into leaf before the tree
leaves have begun to burst their sheaths
Some people call the honeysuckle eglan-
tine. So you will know that il is the
same flower that is meant whichever
name is used.

Something About Venus.

TT is now held by the latest astronomical
investigators that our close of kim
venus, has perpetual day on one of its
hemlspheres and perpetual night-moon-
less night-on the other hemisphere. Or
To make 1t more plain. Venus presents but
one Of it's sides to the SUM- This is the
theory advanced by Lowell. whose re-
searches are to be greatly relied upon. II
such be true of Venus. 1t seems improb-
able that it is a planet OF life like our
own and lie Mars undoubtedly is. AL
though Venus is farther from the sun
than Mercury. II must present similar
PHYSICAL conditions, for Mercury always
turns the same face to the sun. COnse-
.quently one side Of Venus-like Mercury
Is baked and dry. knowing no cooling, re-
freshing night. And on the opposite side
darkness and unimaginable cold reigns
forever and forever. Therefore it is not
inconsistent to say that life cannot exist
under such conditions. Also, Venus, ac-
cording to Schiaparelli and Lowell, can
have no seasons as do we. for it's axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane of
its orbit, and the latter is almost circular
