Mrs. L.. q young and inexperienced
Sunday school teacher, was at times
sorely perplexed how to answer the
questions put to her by some OF her un.
usually bright pupils. One day Just
after she had finished telling the chill.
dren the story that Adam was the first
man God created quiet reigned I'm the
classroom for several minutes. Sud.
denly up jumped little Rose, and in a
piping voice said: "Oh, teacher, you
forgot to tell us whether God created
Adam right away a man or {. baby!"
Embarrassed, Mrs. l.. looked up to tho
ceiling and then TO the children for an
inspiration. Happily she quickly spIed
Bctty's little hand raised above the
others eager to answe the question.
Teacher, I am surprised my sister
Rosie should ask such q foolish ques.

Adam right away n big man, because
II God had created him a baby he
would have had to have q mother to
take care of him."

THE TIME TABLE.
Its Part In the Daily Life of the Lo-
connective Engineer.

The principal anxieties of an ex-
press driver have to do with keeping
time. His employment depends
upon his doing SO. He is there in
the cab Of an express engine just, in
fact, because he knows better than
other men how to get the best re-
suits from a splendid piece Of ma
chinery. And they are demanded
of him. No railway company in
competition with another can af-
ford to be lax about the running Of
its trains, and an express driver
who means to keep his place has to
remember this.
If the train is late from any fault
of his he must expect to be repri-
manded. II it is late at all frequent
ly he may be essher fined or in the
end reduced. The checks upon him
are strict. In every signal box he
passes the time of his passing is re-
corded. He checks the record with
his own time sheet, which is check
ed by the guard of his train in turn.
He need not fear injustice, true
So many independent records estab-
lish the facts beyond mistake or
cavil and enable his superintendent
to say at once whether the fault
lies between him and the engine or
elsewhere. But time is one of his
constant preoccupations.
He cannot forget it, as he may
forget his perils. 1t is evidently not
matter to which a driver can be-
come Indifferent in the least, and
there are times when it is Cypress
i've. Engines differ, like pianos
from the same famous workshop
or watches made by machinery.
They differ SO VIGOROUSLY that
there is a railway saying, GA good
engine makes good driver"
Among modern express engines
there is probably not a disappoint-
ing one in twenty. But every en-
CINE has her idiosyncrasies. She
may respond to firing less readily
than another or need more oiling
or be oftener locked for small re-
pairs. For better or worse the
driver is married to her until he
can show sufficient cause for di-
vorce. The time table is their
moral law, enforced daily under
the penalties aforesaid-Keighley

The janitor of a small church on
the south side raises a few chickens
in a small Enclosure in his back yard.
The eggs of these he sells to some
members Of the church in which he
works.
Last Saturday one of his custom
ers asked him if he could spare a
dozen eggs within the next two or
three days.
ooh, yes, ma'am," replied the jan
itor. '1'll bring you dozen fresh
ones tomorrow morning..
ooh, no." protested the house
wife. II shouldn't want you to
bring them on Sunday-not on Sun

"Well," replied John, call right,
ma'am, if you say SO. But it don't
make no difference to the hens. -

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

The announcement that the govern
ments of Sweden and Prussia have
agreed to start line of car ferries
directly between those two countries
has set the managers of the Danish
railways to thinking. The head of
the railway department spoke very
freely about the matter to a reporter.
The new ferry line, he said would
not only deprive Denmark of much
transit trade between Germany and
Sweden, but it might even get some
of the traffic between Hamburg and
Norway. Denmark, he said, simply
has no choice, she must improve the
Gedser and Warvemunde line as we'll
as the railway connected with it. One
upon as imperative in this connection
is a railroad bridge across Mashed
Sund at cost of 100000.
The articles in the London newspa-
pers declaring that treaties like that
recently concluded guaranteeing the
neutrality of Norway are also neceS-
sary in the cases of other countr es
are strongly denounced by politician
of high rank in Denmark. He asserts
that the London treaty of 1852 did not
protect Denmark's neutrality from
Germany in 1864 and that no better
results can he expected in the future.
Denmark. in the opinion of this official,
is determined to remain neutral, but it
regards treaties as worthless. The
same view is expressed by all the in
fuential papers of that nation.

RUSSIA MASSING
TROOPS TO AVOID
TURKS INVASION

st. Petersburg, Feb. Give thou
sand troops have been ordered from
Northern Caucasus to the Turko-Per-
sian frontier whittier soldiers IN small
detachments have been proceeding
steadily for several weeks past.
This concentration Is due to the
aggressive attitude of the Turks In
their frontier dispute with the Per-
slams.
The governments of Turkey and
Persia have been disputing about the
boundary line near Tabriz for some
time past, and the situation is serious
because of the fact that the interests
of Germany, Great Britain and Russia
may be gravely affected by an out
break of hostlities. Turkish troops
have occupied Persian territory and
committed depradations.
Under cover, of Kurdish tribesmen,
the Turks are reported as massing in
fantry at Bayazid and other strategic
points near the frontier In such
strength as to dispose OF the proba-
bility that the movement is intended
solely against non-mllitant Persia.
Russia has only two army corps in
the Caucasus, a large part of which
is dispersed IN detachments through
the country to preserve order.

Frankfort. Ky. Reb. 6.--One and
perhaps two Democrats who now hold
seats IN the legislature may lose their
places as a result OF contests which
have been filed against them. The
committees which have their cases
under consideration have never made
report, but it is rumored on good
authority that a report Will be made
In the next day or two and the report
will recommend that the Republicans
be seated IT, Is also reported that the
majority OF the members OF the house
vii vote to adopt this report
In the house now there are forty
nine Republicans and hfty-one Demo

ocrats would leave the position OF the
two parties Just reversed. II is re
garded as probable that no more than
one Democrat will be unseated, and
this would leave each party with
fifty members.

HUBBARD ALLEGED
TO HAVE HELD OUT
AT LEAST $3.50

Waving examination in police court
this morning, II. Il. Hubbard, charged
with embezzlement OF the funds of the
Rhodes Burford Furniture company,
was held over to the grand jury and
his bond was fixed at $500. There
was quite a spirited contest over the
sum fixed for the bail of Hubbard In
holding Hubbard. Judge Gross fixed
the bail at $500. and County Attorney
Alben Barley made an argument for
an increase and Hal S. Corbett. coun-
sci for the defense, argued against an
increase. After arguments were heard
Judge Cross made the bail $500.
The books of Hubbard are being
corrected by the firm, and il is said
that the shortage at present IS about
$3.50 and It may reach a higher figure
Hubbard has tried TO give bail since
his arrest, but has been unable to do
so. Today Hubbard tried to give the
S4OO bail. but had not succeeded
and was taken to the county Jail.

Big Flour Mill May be Located at
Paducah, if Impression of Owners
is Borne Out by Conditions Here.
Ask No Bonus, and Want Only
Exemption From Taxation,
Believing That Territory
Justifies Moving Here.

Seeking nothing but exemption of
taxes for five years, owners of large
Touring mill, at present doing a good
business in the north, have turned
their eyes toward Paducah, and being
impressed with the city as business
center, they will be here this week
to look ove~ locations. Nothing but
plain business Is wanted by the own
ers, and they come as the result of
correspondence with the Commercial
club. Secretary Saunders A. Fowler
received their letter this morning.
The mill has plenty of capital and
the mill does not solicit local capital.
All names are withheld by the club,
but the mill has capacity Of 200
barrels of high grade -four day. The
owners are high class people, and do
their work of looking for a favorable
location quietly.
Paducah has been without a -four
ing mill since the Three Rivers" mill
seased opefations about years ago.
Representatives of the Commercial
club will show the visitors over the
city, and the exemption of taxes for
five years is certain to be extended to
the enterprise.

INDIGNITY WAS
OFFERED HER ON
PULLMAN SLEEPER

Alleging that she was placed in the
drawing room apartment of a sleeper,
after she had engaged passage in a
lower half of a berth, Miss Ella Pat
terson has filed suit in circuit court
against the Pullman company and the
Illinois CENTRAL Railroad company for
900 damages. Miss Patterson
states in her petition, that upon the
refusal of the conductor of the sleep
ing car to place at her disposal the
berth engaged. she agreed to take an
apartment in the drawing room of the
ear with the understanding that no
man was to be placed in that apart
ment: but that after she had retired
man was placed in the apartment
directly above her and that he at
tempted to enter her apartment and
otherwise insulted her. and that al
though she gave the alarm, the con-
ductor refused to remove the man
from the apartment and she was
forced to spend the night in fear that
the indignities would be repeated.
