MOTOR ROLLER SKATES PRO-
JECTED.

Such a hold has the roller-sgating
craze taken on the people of Frank
fort, old and young, white and black,
that many have become enthusiastic,
and not a few bid fair to develop
into cranks over the sport. One of
the latter, who by the way, is of an
inventive turn of mind, confided to
the writer of these lines that he was
hard at work on proposed motor
roller-skate, which he hoped to per-
feet within a week or so.
While he would not permit his
name to be used at present, he did
give an outline and idea of what the
new continuance would be like. His
plan is to have the skates operated
by cunningly-contrived storage
battery, to be concealed about the
person of the one who uses the
skates. The skates, which will have
rubber-tired wheels, are to be larger
and of more substantial build than
those now worn; the wheels will also
be higher. The battery would, so he
claimed, be connected with the run
ming gear of the skates. by slender
wire through which would be trans
mit,ed the necessary current for its
operation.
In summing up his description of
the invention on which he is work
ing, he declared that one might don
the skates, and, without any exer-
ton whatever, beyond the touch of
a button, roll around at will, and at
a rapid pace, over the pavements of
a city, or skim over the surface Of
roads with equal speed and
ease, thus bringing to modern civil
lization an actual realization of the
merits and uses of the famous
"seven-league boots" so often spoken
of in the delightful fairy tales of

RECORD BROKEN.

Peninger, Helm & Dillehay have
closed a contract with the Moore Mill
ing Co. to build them galvanized
tank "a feet in circumference and 80
feet tall. This is by far the largest
water tank Of this kind ever built in
Decatur, and the above firm is to be
congratulated on securing the con-
tract. Bert Miller, who has been
with Peninger, Helm & Dillehay for
the past two years, has proved to be
quite an expert in tank building. Mr..
Miller also did the contract work ON
the new Baptist church, which was
very difficult job. Ex-President Ward
said that Mr.. Miller was the only lin
ner that ever stopped the Baptist
college from leaking. Willard Black
burn, who is to have in charge the
placing this large tank on foundation,
has also proved to be quite genius
in his line of work. The above firm
deserve your consideration when In

DISTINGUISHED JURIsr DIES.

At his home in Louisville, on Tues
day, Judge John Watson Barr, Sr.,
died after an illness of several weeks
aged 81 years.
Judge Barr was one of the ablest
lawyers ever produced by Kentucky.
He was born in, Woodford county in
1926. After a splendid career as a
lawyer he was appointed u. S. Dis
trlct Judge to succeed Judge Bland
Billiard, deceased, in 1880, and during
his whole career as Judge command
ed the admiration and respect of the
whole people for his stern integrity,
firmness, and, at the same time, the
gentleness with which he executed
his high office. He retired under the
law a few years since.
Judge Barr was a devoted Christ
ian gentleman and a member of the
Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church,
in Louisville. The funeral services
were conducted from that church, by

FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY.
by H. H. Farmer.1

It's boots not what the passer by
May say of thee, my home, my
town;
Or how the cold, impartial eye
May jot thy imperfections down
love each tree and knoll and dell
From Fitzgerald's Bend to Sulphur
Well.
The little Devils Hollow Bridge!
How oft have gone there to brood
And known the joyous privilege
OF calm, uninterrupted mood;
Or with some loved companion stroll
led,
And of my homes and day-dreams
told!
And where the elm boughs sway and
swing
And rustic in the sumner breezel
How Oft have from Coleman's
Spring,
Drunk long and deep, on Bonded
knees;
Then lay and watched, with sweet
content,
The string Of pals that came and
vent
I've gathered berries from thy hills,
And hunted coon and 'possum
there;
And swum and fshed, and felt the
thrills
Thy winding river yields from care
And trod the bluegrass, waving deep,
Where Boone, and Hart and Johnson
sleep!
From Rodman's Height and Airing
ton,
From Arnold's and the old Fort
Hill,
I've seen thee radiant in the sun,
And in the moonlight, calm and
still;
And thrilled with Romans pride of
Rome,
That l could claim thee as my home!

WILL NUISANCE BE ABATED.

Should the city authorities not take
prompt action in the matter of abol-
ishing the stock sales on the cor
ner of Main and st. Clair streets,
county court days. Next Monday, the
disgraceful scenes enacted at the
place mentioned on such days will be
witnessed by the members of the
Legislature and the numerous other
strangers, who will be present on
that OCCASION. AS a matter of course
most of the strangers will visit the
New Capital, and to do so muct make
their way, as best they can, through
the gangs of horses, cows, sheep,
and hogs that will be assembled here.
The noise and the dirt, to say moth
ing Of the disagreeable odors, will
not be calculated to inspire the WISH
tors and the solons with an exalted
idea of the city of Frankfort and her
rules, but will, on the other hand,
remind them rather of a scene in a
village of the third class. Frankfort
is a likely candidate for metropolitan
honors, but, so long as such monthly
exhibitions as this are permitted to
hold sway, at the busiest spot in the
city, her progressive citizens and we'll
wishers can never hope to see her
ambition along this line realized.

FORGOT AN IMPORTANT POINT
Boston Carpenter Overlooked Davy
Crockett's Immortal Advice.

Apropos of the fat man who built
his wife a table in the cellar too big
to go through the door, reader de-
clares that he knows of a man who
did very much the same trick. The
man in question, a Boston carpenter.
was having a dull season, and as
spring was coming. on he decided to
build himself a boat for use in his
toric Boston bay. After due considera
ton the carpenter decided to use his
own cellar as a workshop, as he had
plenty of room and all materials were
handy. He did not once think of get
ting the boat out until after weeks OF
hard work he had finished fine 18
foot vessel OF course it would not
go through a mere door, and as there
was no double door entrance the car
penter was up against it. He was de
termined to have his boat, though
and he tore out the entire end of his
house to get it out of his cellar He
got his boat, and also had more hard
work to do in his dull season, for il
was several weeks before he finished

CHAPTER XIII.
The Promise Kept.

Alfred came downstairs to Mrs. Har-
mons spacious narlor. 1t lacked some
minutes of the dinner hour, and he
hoped for coy chat before the Judge
came in. At least he felt sure of the
few minutes it took the judge 10
scramble grumbling, into his detested
evening clothes.
Mrs Harmon entered, stately,
white-haired woman in creamy, SHIN
mering satin, whose merry eyes be-
lied the somewhat stern mouth.
Alfred" She was beside him in
front of the fire before he was aware
of her presence. How good it is to
see you, Oh but you're changed"
She looked him over critically, yet in
a breath. You have acquired tan, a

face. 1t is all becoming, though, the

face she added hesitatingly. You're

fully
Yes, Toy is my right-hand man, half
my housekeeping BRAIN
TT is like home, even to the hello

to remember my favorite flower"
He glanced swiftly around the quiet
room, bringing his eyes again to her
calm face. He felt welcomed, warmed
his heart lighter. This beautiful home
was like his own, ample, refined; and
it's genius stood on a pedestal beside
the memory of his MOTHER
