."CurioSitieS of Book Collecting" in
which he tells the story OF the un-
earthng of Caxton at Thorneck
hall, Lincolnshire. The butler was
entrusted with the work of wedding
out the superAuods books. A per

thrown carelessly aside and a little
later sold to a peddler for nine

another in the same trade for f7.

BONAPARTE AT JAFFA.
His Orders Regarding .he Poisoning OF

Professor Forguc of Montpelier
in a lecture on the respect that

is worth telling again, as 1t is told
bv Desgcnettes himself.
When the French were about to
evacuate Jaira the question arose
what was to be done with the
plague stricken soldiers in the hos
pital. Dcsgenettcs says: Shortly

BIRDS WEAPONS.
fhey Are Net Confined to the Beak
and the Spurs.

Many people are inclined to think
that birds weapons are practical
" confined to beak and the spurs
with which the legs of some birds
are provided. There are, however,
I good many instances of different
armament. \ moments rejection
recalls 10 any one the mulehke kick
delivered bv the foot of the ostrich,
which requires no spurs TO insure
effectiveness.
Besides this. many birds use their
wings very effectively as weapons.
People who have spent their child
hood in the country will recall how
| fcrcelv the domestic gandcr uses
| his wings. and among domestic
fowls the cocks not only use their
wings to blind their adversarics, but
batter their opponents quite severe
" with them. Although doves have

'Y0U AL" IN THE SOUTH.
What Makes This Popular Phrase a
ProvincisIisn9,

Philologists ciafm that some OF
the most interesting phases of d
language may be traced throagh the
medium of so caiIcd coIloquialisms
and idioms. and d con ,ideration of
The phrase "}ol a.. a> used
throughout the south. woUid Ger
tainlv seem to make good this AS
sertion. The subject Is treated in
Uncle Remus' Magazine III an ar5i-
Gle by c. Alphonso Smith Of the
2 University Of North Carolina. lie
= says in part:
ON almost every discussion OF
this idiom the di>putants have CON
fined themselves to the question,
Is it used in the south as singh
lar Northern writer's have gen
orally supported the affirmative.
while southern writer's have defend
ed the negative In fact, Mason
,y%nd Dixon's line Will have to be re-
traced and made TO mark not a po-
htical but an idiomatic distinction.
The shibboleth is no longer, What
do YOU think of slavery or secession
OF state rights? but, On the con-
tested Sse of YOU all are YOU for the
singular or for tie plural:
Southern people undoubtedly
use YOU all in sense particularly
Their own and not as the e4uiva-
lent of all Of YOU.
"What, then, is the distinctive
meaning attached to this idiom in
The south: sWhat makes the phrase
provinrialism as used in tho
south, but not a proyincialism as
usod elsewhere: The following
sentences VII illustrate:
''Eirst.--A mother to. her chil
1rcn, IF you all Uod children) don't
make les noise, III send YOU tc
bed
"Secoud.-A teacher to his pu,
pills, Nou all Gou pupils) haVen'
!, half studied this lesson
"In not enc OF these characters
tic sentences would southernel
ever think of substituting all Of ,yor
for You all. Both idioms are plural
but The distinctive thing about
southern YOU all is not its plura
sense. but its representative sense
together with the accent on You.
"Iou all, therefore, with the ac
cent nn vou, is not an error fol
YOU all, With the accent On ali, ol
for ali of you.
''lt is something entirely differ
ent. The standard you all and al
of YOU are employed as frequentl!
in the south as elsewhere, the dis
tinctive YOU all supplying a desid
eratum not furnished by either 0.
the other two phrases Joel Chan
! dler Harris writes as follows:
l. zS"'You may say without any hes
.,tation whatever that ~you ,alP AM
eve all" You uDs'' and I'VE ms'
invariably refer TO more than on
Individual. These loeutions some
times refer to a partner, to family
to a settlement and to a whole com
munity, but never to one individual
/ have seen assertions to the con
trary, but YOU may put them dewl
as gross mistakes.

DANGER OF FIRE.

The leaves are falling all over the
streets and yards of Winchester
and in many places the passerby
sees large piles of dried leaves and
other refuse being burned. In a
conversation last evening, Mr.. A..
r. Baldwin. Chief of the Fire De-
partment, suggested that this prac-
tice was very dangerous one; that
the long dry spell has left every
thing in highly infiammable con-
dition and that the least careless
ness might start con fagration that
would cost the city dearly.
We believe the warning should be
needed by all. The leaves and
other re fuse can he gathered up in
piles in the back yard or in some
corner of the premises and left until
the first rains and then can be safe
ly disposed of. 1t is foolish to take
chances. The least carelessness
might cost any of us much. While
by having patience for short time,
the rains will surely come, and prac
tically all danger will be past.
The Identification of the city is
to be encouraged. In fact, from
time to time, in these columns we
propose to do all in our power to
support and encourage the Civic
League or any DO dy Of citizens who
are moving in the direction of the
"City Beautiful" But on the ques-
ton of fires, we think the first con-
sideration is the city's safety.

1 - BUFFALO WOMAN 49,
Gladdens Hearts of Suffragists With
Check. For $4,000.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 20.-The prob
lem of financing the work ofAthe Ma
tional Woman Suffrage association
cropped out and for time clogged
the smooth-running machinery OF. that
convention. 1t was finally decided to
make an effort to raise at least $4,000
by voluntary subscription. The con-
tributions had reached $3.50 when, a
messenger handed President Shaw a
letter from Mrs. Catherine B. Lewis
of Buffalo inclosing a check for S10,-
600. President Shaw announced the
contents of the letter in few happy
words.
Answering the oft-repeated state
ment that women do not want to vote,
Mrs. Mary T. L. Gannett of Roches-
er said: Women not only want the
ballot, but would use it intelligently.
Woman's sphere embraced every spot
on earth, every law and regulation
that influences In any way home or
child or woman's labor. Not less, but
more womanly is she who seeks q
share In the control in the common
life as shall give her equally full and
direct influence with man In choosing
who is to care and how to care for
the cleanliness Of cities, management
Of schools and factories and In the
making Of tenement laws"

FOOTBALL AT X. w. G..

1t was stated in the local column J
of the News yesterday that there is
a movement on foot among the
merchants to petition the Board of
Educ alton of the Kentucky Wesley
an College to rescind the action re-
Gently taken by the members for
bidding the football team playing
away from home this season.
We believe such a petition should
be prepared and presented. There
is little question but that a good
athletic record helps any College,
small or great, to attract students.
Sport within right limits should
be heartily encouraged. 1t is not
only good for the boys participant
ing, but it is an advertisement for
the College.
The great Colleges of the East
attract hundreds of students each
year because of their athletic
records. A winning track team, a
good boat crew, a championship
baseball or football team casts re-
fected glamor on all the students of
the particular College.
We are not advocating athletics
at the expense of studies. But
rigid rule can always be enforced

throughout the county. The shoot
ing of rabbits and birds not lawful
until November Is. But during this
Indian summer weather large num-
bers of men and boys are in all cor

game.
We will lose our birds and rabbits
soon enough without any violation
of the law, Nearly every State in
the Union has more stringent laws
than Kentucky but the officials
should see that the laws we have are
enforced. Every citizen should also
feel it incumbent on him to report
any violations to the proper officials.

forbidding any student participant
ing in College athletics unless he
has a certain standard in his stu
dies. With that standard attained.
it is good for any student to be a
member of a College team.
Unless Kentucky Wesleyan should
be allowed to play away from home,
the football team will have to drop
out of the Association and sport fol-
the fall will be dead. This probably
will mean some fewer students next
year.
The business community here
is interested, if only from a selfish
motive, in the growth of the Col
lege. The more stu dents, the more
money is brought here and spent
in Winchester. We feel certain
that if a proper petition is circulat-
ed and extensively signed, it will
have its influence with the Board
of Education, who are above all
things interested in the up-building
of the College and will cause them
to seriously reconsider the action
already taken. If they do so, we
are satisfied that they will allow
the games.
