and it stopped and chung there. but it
was the only thing that did stop, ex-
cept his breath. 1t was several years
later that ] first met Brownlee, and he
was still breathing hard, like a man
who has just been running rapidly.
Brownlee says when he shuts his eyes
his legs still seem to be going.
The first mile was through under
brush, and that was lucky. for the un-
derbrush removed most of Brownlee's
clothing, and pu& him in better run
ming weight, but at the mile and a
quarter they struck the road. He said
at two miles he thought he might be
over exercising the dog and maybe he
had better stop, but the dog seemed
anxious TO get home, so he didn't stop
there. He said that at three miles he
was sure the dog was OVERRIDING, and
that with his knowledge of dogs he was
perfectly able to stop a running dog
in its own length.i if he could speak to
it, but he couldn't speak to this dog for
two reasons. One was that he couldn't
overtake the dog and the other was
that all the speak was yanked out of
him.
When they reached five miles the
dog seemed to think they were taking
too much time to get home, and let out
a few more laps of speed, and it was
right there that Brownlee decided that
Fluff had some greyhound blood in
him.
He said that when they reached town
he felt as if he would have been glad
to stop at his own house and lie down
for a while, but the dog didn't want
to, and so they went on, but that he
ought TO be thankful that the dog was
willing TO stop at that town at all The
and the roads were bad. But the dog
turned into Murchisons yard and went
right into his kennel.
When Murchison and MaSsett got
home an hour or so later, after driving
the horse all the way at a gallOp. they
found old Gregg, the carpenter, prying
the roof off the kennel You see
MurchisOn had knocked the rear out
of the kennel the day before, and so
when the dog aimed for the front he
went straight through and, as Brown
lee was built more perpendicular than
the dog, Brownlee didn't go quite
through He went in, something like
doubling up a dollar bill to put it into
a thimble. l don't suppose any one
would want to double up a dollar bill
to put it into a thimble, but neither did
BrOwnlee want to be doubled up and
put into the kennel. 1t was the dogs
thought. So they had to take the ken
mel roof off.
When they got BrownIee out they
laid him on the grass and covered him
up with a porch rug and let him lie
there a couple of hours to pant, for
that seemed what he wanted to do just
then. 1t was the longest period Brown
lee ever spent awake without talking
about dog.
Murchison and Massett and old
Gregg and twenty-six other informal
guests stood around and gazed at
Brownlee painting. Presently BrOwnlee
was able to gasp out few words:
''Murchison," he gasped. "Murchison,
if you just had that dog in Florence
or wherever it is they race dogs-you'd
have a fortune"
He painted awhile and then gasped
out:
Hes a great runner; a phenomenal
runner"
He had to pant more and then he
gasped with pride
But wasn't three feet behind him
all the wayt'

PADUCAH is GUARDED
AGAINST SURPRISE

Watch-dogs, watchmen and extra
precantion of the patrolmen serve TO
prevent any damage to the local ware
houses, containing tobacco for the
trust, foreign firms or Independent
buyers. Everyone in touch with the
local tobacco situation entertains a
cheerful view of Il, but the ware
housemen are not going to be caught
eff their guard. Patrolmen, on whose
beats tobacco warehouses are situated,
make trips to them every half hour.
Watch-dogs are on guard and even
when the patrolmen approach begin
to bark. Watchmen with plenty OF
ammunition keep tab on things and
anyone lettering around warehouse
at night may be shot. After midnight
IL a stranger Is met and he does not
give a good account of his presence,
he Is searched by patrolmen and
given orders to "get in" 1t is the
general belief of persons in the city
that an attack would not be made on
Paducah and try to take complete
control of the city. The dealers con-
tinue to ship the tobacco as soon as
it has been priced, and In this way
alleviate the loss should any trouble
arise.

SAMUEL LoURAIN
HAS DISAPPEARED
MONEY GONE, TOO

Last Saturday morning Samuel d.
Lourain, carpenter, residing in the
Maple-Terrace addition near the Cairo
road. took 500 in gold and came TO
the city for the purpose of buying a
small stock of groceries. but no one
has seen him since Saturday morning.
Lourain had made arrangements to
start a grocery on North Tenth street
and had gotten the license from the
city last Friday.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Lourain owned
the home. She mortgaged 1t and
early Saturday morning Lourain left
with the s65, but no trace has been
found OF him in the city. Lourain
had never left home before without
notifying Mrs. Lourain where he was
going. The only clew that points to
his going away is that last Friday he
seemed displeased and made the re-
mark that there was no work here and
he was going away. 1ourain was a
good carpenter. and had found ready
employment from leading contractors.
$50 far as known, he has no near rela-
tives, having come. from Michigan
many years ago. He has lived In Pa
ducah about 20 years and has been
married Ave yea s.. He and his wife
adopted a daughter some time ago.

happy.

CABINET CRISIS
STIRS JAPANESE
COURT CIRCLES

Toxic, Jan. 1.-THE retirement of
the entire cabinet was narrowly avert
ed today when Premier Marquis
Saionji rendered his resignation to the
emperor, but his majesty declined to
receive 1t, while the alternative resig-
nations of Yoshiro Sakatani, minister
of finance, and Of Isaburo Yamagata,
minister of communications, were &C.
cepted.
Mahasisa Matsura, minister Of JUS
tice, will combine the portfolio of
finance, and Keihara, minister of the
interior. will combine that of COM
munication. This leaves the cabinet
without any new elements and re-
moves the disputants.
Yamagata insisted upon the resig-
nation OF Sakatani, who Is blamed be-
cause. in 1907, he promised that there
would be no increase made in the tax
|ation nor any resort to foreign loans
in 1908.
Sakatani endeavored to reduce the
appropriation for the army and navy
to which these factions objected and
finally succeeded in carrying thei,
point. Sakatan; thereupon attempted
to reduce the appropriations for rail-
roads. and to this Yamagata raised an
objection. Sakatani then increased
this general taxation, but this found
strenuous objections among the lead
ing merchants and bankers. Saka-
tani finally decided to resign and also
insisted that his resignation should be
accepted.
