baseball with them, going in swimming
with them. boating and fishing.

their little lives, and they looked up to
him as not only their spiritual adviser,
but their intimate friend TO whom they
could tell their little troubles without
hesitation Every Christmas he had q

KENTUCKY TRUE TO ITS NAME.

Over q century ago when Kentucky
was still almost the only territory of con
sequence west of the eghanies that had
been wrested from the Indians, it became
known q "the dark and bloody ground. y
Many other sections since that day have
as fully deserved the title, for time, but
the tide Of civilization has passed west
ward until now good order and good gov
eminent have been carried to the Pacific
Ocean.
The tide of battle, however, has not re-
coded from the mountain regions of Ken
lucky where might still takes the place
of law and where men still SOW the wind
of violence and disorder and reap the
whirlwind of murder.
It ID q sad commentary upon the people
of Kentucky and the administration of
justice when the people of community
take the law in their own hands, not once,
but dozen times; when private venge.
ance takes the place of trial by jury and
when the latter becomes such farce that
justice Is only obtained when one murder
treads upon the heels of another murder.
If ever state needed to take q brace and
put down brakes, that State is Kentucky.
II ever the law abiding element in a
state needed to assert themselves, that
need now rests upon the Kentucky people.
Perhaps, too, some of the missionaries
new going to the wilds of Asia should d.
rect their steps to Breathitt county. 1t
needs the gospel.
