ago in Spanish history, 1t need not be
inferred that the modern cOnveniences
are lacking. Here is where the TWEEN
tieth century designer of furniture,
ever on the alert for the innovations
which make life less burdensome by
conducting to comfort and convenience,
has taken a part In the creation of the
up to date furnishings for the home.
A visit here and q turn there, and
presto, we have the latest furniture
adaptable to all needs combined with
the artistic.
unadorned articles Of household use.
The mission chatting dish here pictur-
ed is an especially good model. Made
of the finest nickel or silver, with
ebony handles and base, absolutely
plain and easy to keep clean to the
sparkling point, 1t is admired by all
good housekeepers.
The college girl will appreciate this
bit of plain silver, for nearly every
college girl owns chatting dish, and
not one Of, them enjoys cleaning an
ornate piece Of silver where they are
obliged to rub and rub and scrub with
old toothbrushes in order to get into
the crevices Of the design.
One girls cry is echoed by all, "Give
me plain piece of silver that l can
polish with a chamois and not get my
hands all messed up with silver pol
ish."

LIVELY FOR A LIVELIHOOD.

The melancholy beauty in widows
weeds who abruptly bursts into song
and in no bad voice-is stirred
thereunto less by the inspiration of
music than by the impulse of the
weekly pay envelope. Even the de-
mure young person who smiles de-
precatingly from across the way,
and, upon the encouragement of a
lifted eyebrow, comes over to your
table to cadge for champagne-she's
paid to do it, too. All very lively on
the surface; but they are lively, not
for the sake of liveliness, but of live
hhood.-Collier's Weekly.

TOO RATIFIED TO USE SENSE
Simple Expedient for Relief of Boy
Had to Be Suggested
to the Mother.

While playing soldier Brooklyn
youngster placed brown earthen-
ware jar, such as is used in baking
beans, on his head for helmet, then
found, to his modification and hor-
ror, that he could not remove it.
Even more mortified and more terri
fled was his mother, who in despera-
ton, hurried the sobbing little SOL
der out of the house and boarded
a car, bent on taking him to a physi-
clan. The child could not even wipe
his tear-filled eyes, for the rim of
the jar rested on the bridge of his
nose. Blushing furiously his moth
er tried to appear unconcerned in
the face of the staring passengers,
but finally one woman grew so curl
GUS that she asked:
"Why does your little boy wear a
bean pot?"
Because he cannot get it of" re-
piled the mother, stifly. -
why don't you break it with a
hammer someone suggested.
This proved to be a happy thought
and as there was no hammer avail
able the motorman was called to the
rescue. He broke the jar with his
controller. The little boy gulped
with relief and his mother took him

Clay City, December %, 1908.
To the Editor of the Winchester
News:
In your issue of the 18th instant, |
notice a card from one of our bus
mess men of the town, and | am
very much surprised at the position
he takes in regard to selling the
| franchise to the East Tennessee Tel
ephone Company. j do not see how it
would be a mistake for the thriving
little town of Winchester to be put
in touch with the business interests
of the United States.
This citizen shows a. very COM
mendable spirit in wanting to pat
ronize home industries, and / am in
hearty accord with this sentiment I;
but do not think the people should
be willing to deprive themselves of
such service as the East Tennessee
has been giving by their connections
throughout the country in order to
protect few local citizens and cap
ital when they only have a local
business.
1t is well-known fact that al
most all of the business of Win
chester and Eastern Kentucky is
transacted through Cincinnati and
beyond where the Home Phone has
no connections whatever. Take
south of WINCHESTER for instance,
Richmond, Irvine, and other points
the Home Phone has no service; take
the G.. go. east to Pikeville they
have no service, while the East Ten
nessee. reaches all of these places.
have both phones in my home,
side by side, and it is very easily un-
derstood which gives the best service
and reaches the most people. We al
so have the East Tennessee in our
Office at Clay City, and we have re-
Gently had occasion to talk to peo-
i pie in Alabama, Chicago, and other
distant places, and we could hear
over their line almost in a whisper.
If the protest of this good citizen
was. carried out, and the East Ten
lnessee should not be granted the
franchise which they ask for, it
would be a calamity to our thriving
little town. The fight throughout
kentucky against foreign capital has
already put us years behind our sis
ter States.
/ am sure it will be a sad mis-
take to build Chinese wall around
our little city in order that a few,
local people can do the business, and
deprive the public of the conveniences
of, service such as the East Ten
rnessee Telephone system gives In
looking over the telephone cards / no.
tice that this good citizen, who pro-
tests against the East Tennessee,
does not use their phone at all,
therefore, he cannot be acquainted

A large flock of geese became be-

KEPT TAFT AWAY
Connecticut Republicans See the Game That Fyler and
 Company Are Up to,
IN ATTENDANCE
Candidate Wants to ITobnub With Royalty and Pull Few
 Extra Votes.

The New York Evening Post under a New Haven date lino says
 Tho announcement yesterday of the Itinerary of Tarts visit to Connecticut late In this month, Including a flying visit to Waterbury, tho homo of the republican machine candidate for gov ernor, George L, Llllcy, has brought to head the Increasing wrath of the antl-Lllley republicans, They declare that MT Tafts trip to q state sure to give hlm it's electoral vote under any circumstances is merely device of the Fyler machine to strengthen LLl- ley's canvass; that the machine plan Is to have Lilley constantly "socn" with the presidential candidate and thus se- cure indirectly his moral and personal endorsement
 A number of the most prominent re- publieans in the state, including per- sohal friends have written to Mir. Taft asking him to stay away. Among them are men who have contributed hand somely to the republican national com mittee, but with the proyiso that not cent of it should be sent Into Connecti- cut. In fact, it can be stated on the highest authority that the larger part of the sum sent from this state-sald 10 be not less than S25,O0O-was given under that restriction, to which the na- tional committee consented.
 The Fyler-Lilley machine, which Is in full control of the state canvass, but is short of funds, has adopted the plan of substituting a Taft trip with the at- tendant enthusiasm and the IIlley side show for the lacking moral and fiscal sinews of war They are willing to imperil Q certain number of Connect. cut votes for Taft who can afford to lose them, for votes for Lillcy, who needs all he can get.
 If letters fail Co induce the prea- dential campaign managers to change Alr. Tatts itinerary to another state, the committee of the anti-Llllcy or gani2ation will probably adopt more telling measures before 1t lets the ma. chine play its card some of the men who gave money to the national com Imittoe arc charging 1t already with breach Of faith in arranging for Mr. Taft's Connecticut trip They point out, particularly, how that trip in aid of I.illcy will hurt Mir Taft in doubtful states while not helping him apprccla- hly In Connecticut.
