THIRTY YEARS oLD.

The Kentuckian is no longer a
spring chicken. This number rounds
out the thirtieth year of its exis-
tence, nearly al of that time under
its present editorial control. From
boy of 20 to man Of so is quite a
stretch, and many things have hap.
pened in that time. The bound vol
umes of the Kentuckian from 1879
to the present time contain COM
plete history of the development Of
town of 900 into a city of 1900
The growth Of the city has been
gradual but constant and through
all these years the Kentuckian has
faithfully reported the things that
have happened from day to day, al
ways telling the truth as it saw it,
faithfully, fearIessly and fairly. 1t
has no doubt made mistakes, but it
has never knowingly betrayed its
trusts, been swerved from the path
of duty or sought popularity at the
expense Of principle. Not always has
it gone with the crowd" but has
lived through more than one crisis
ITO see its position vindicated by the
logic of events. With the courage
of its convictions, trying always to
be on the right side, serving its
friends and patrons of lifetime to
the best of its ability, in its unas-
Stunning, unpretentious way, it en-
ters another year after passing the
Boz of its somewhat eyentful career.

Tobacco Cleaning Machine

Consul Worden, of Bristol, Eng.
reports that an ingenious machine is
being perfected for the purpose of
cleaning tobacco. The machine can
handle 500 pounds of leaf daily
The stemming is much better than
is possible to do by hand, no leaves
being torn in the process and wrink-
les being Strengthened out. The
cleaning device consists of a series of
rotary brushes, mounted to rotate
at an angle corresponding with the
angle Of the veins in tobacco leaf
These engage the leaf on both sides
simultaneously, and as each pair of
brushes has relatively higher speed
the brushing effect on the leaves is
graduated and the bruising or tear
ing of the lamlna of even the most
tender leaves is prevented. while the
sand and dust are removed most ef-
fectually and deposited in the re.
ceiver. In the argument for some
such device as this. to cleanse sand
from tobacco, itls said that the HG-
erence in the keeping qualities of
clean and unclean tobaccos IS very
great; clean tobacco improves AMI
acquires a much more useliew flavor

A coy nest.
And when the nights

Have ! not lined
Your coop with straw?
Oh, ballv hen,
To you I've been
A faithful friend.
Each week | clean
Your coy house.
And monthly, too,
With whitewash
Tint it anew.
What further favors
Would you ask
Before you'll start
Your daily task?
1t is your master
Now who begs.
Call off your strike
And give me eggs.
Come, lowly hen,
Let's arbiirate:
I'm paying you
The union rate.
Your labor is not
Skilled, l say,
Most any hen
An egg can lay.
Back to the nests!
Go, lowly hen,
And start producing
Eggs again.

It's up to you,
Lay on! or I'll
Have chicken stew.

PER|L0US FEAT
1000 FEET IN THE
AIR SAVES LIVES
Balloon Swelled to Bursting
Point, Thousands See Aeronaut
Loose Cord with Teeth.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 9.-Climb-
Ing into the rigging of the balloon Bos-
ton, 1000 feet from the ground, Leo
Stevens unfastened with his teeth the
cord around rhe safety valve of the gas
bag, and thus prevented the possibility
of the balloon bursting in midair. Thou
sands of persons, nerves a-quiver,
watched the aeronaut as he performed
his p%erilous task.
The balloon was owned by Charles j.
Glidden. who vas scheduled to take two
passengers. The rope connecting with
the safety valve, which had been looped
around the neck of the gas bag, was
pulled loose. but failed to work. At the
same time the men holding the basket
let go. Glidden and Stevens shouted to
hold fast, but 1t vas too late. The gas
bag had been filled to It's utmost capa-
city. AS the gas expands as a balloon as
cends, Stevens feared the balloon would
burst. There was no way of getting at
the safety valve without climbing into
the rigging, nearly fifteen feet above
the basket, and this he did.
The landing was made in CRANKY an
hour after the ascent.

ENGLISH MAIDS

BEFORE LANDING
But the Three Fiances, with
Minister, Were Ready for
Emergency.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Wedding bells
rang long and loud aboard the White
Star steamship Majestic. When the
mail steamer from old England arrived
at her pier she brought three brides
.to-be.
The girls were Miss Alice l.. Osborne,
of Norwich, England; Miss Mildred F.
Hand, of Bournemouth, England, and
Miss Rosa Jane Webb. of Portsmouth,
England. The immigration inspectress
would not allow them to go ashore
unwed.
It took a deal Of red tape for three
very earnest young men to get aboard
the Majestic and into communication
with three weeping young women. who
dried their eyes at sight Of their sweet
hearts. The lovers were Walter W.
Smith, formerly Of London and South
Africa, but now a salesman here for an
English machinery firm. and most IN
terested In Miss Osborne; Ernest
Downer, a clerk for the marlborough,
resident of New York for one year, who
was waiting for Miss Hand, and Emo
Deason, machinist, of Cleveland, o..
who had come to meet Miss Webb. The
three couples were married on board.

LIKES FARM-BRED BOYS.
Training for Ball Players Better
Than That of CITY Bows.

DETROIT. Mich. April 13.-Hughey
Jennings of the Detroit Americans has
come out strong as the champion OF farm
bred boys for star ball players rather
than youngsters who have been brought
up In the city. for he says that the hard
work. early hours and wholesome food
that the former class are brought up on
cause them to develop much faster and
get their full strength much earlier than
the would-be ball players who have too
many attractions to keep them up late.
A boy in the country starts to play
ball at the age of fifteen" said Jennings.
He has plenty OF places to play. He has
no other attractions. He has ideal air to
breathe and good plain food. He plays
far more ball than his city cousin because
he has more places. and he is working
under better conditions. In five years he
Is a finished ball player, and ready to try

other hand. has many side lines to anause
himself with. and rule they are not
conducive to strength. He finds that
fields where he can play are scarce, and
when he does play he doesn't get the
same fresh air. Accordingly he develops
more slowly. He IL ready to try the
league game at the age of twenty-five
He is then almost too old to start in"
