LOCAL MEN WHOWERE PROMINENT.


turned out many prominent men,
and there is scarcely a day but an
incident in the life of some one
of them is related. Persons who
are not informed conclude that
these men lived to a good old
age.
For instance, take Col. Tim
Cravens, father of Mr.. Mont
Cravens. who was lawyer
known throughout the State, and
a Democratic politician who upon
more than one occasion had tits
with Geo. D. Prentice, who was
Whigg and the able editor of the
Louisville Journal. In making
this statement the uniformed
conclude that Mr.. Cravens was
an old man when he died when
in fact, he was only forty-three
years old, and during his short
life he made more reputation as
lawyer and politician than
many of the same profession
make who live until they are
seyenty-five or eighty.
Another lawyer-Mr. John A.
PEBBLES. In his day he was
known to every body in this
section of Kentucky, but he died
a young man, less than thirty
two years of age.
Mr.. Young E. Hurt, father Of
Rollin, Lucen, lobe and Y. E.
Hurt, who was many times the
sheriff of Adair county, one of
the best officers the county ever,
had. He was a very prudent
but a very courageous man. If
you were to ask how old he was
when he died the answer very
likely would be "about seventy"
when in reality he was only about
fifty two or three.
Take Col. Thos. E. Bramlette.
He was not born here, but many
years of his life were spent in
Columbia, He served this dis
trict as circuit Judge; command
ed a regiment in the Federal
army, and was the War Governor
of Kentucky-a brilliant man,
yet his caraeer was cut short
before he was sixty year old.
Col. Geo. Alfred Caldwell, born
and reared here, served two
terms in Congress, commanded
a regiment in the Mexican War
and until his death practiced
law in Louisville, making a
reputation that is spoken of until
this day, died comparatively a
young man.
Mr.. Robt. T. Garrett, who was
a brother of the late Judge Jas.
Garrett, was prominent in the
affairs of Adair County, a lawyer
of ability, and perhaps could
quote more law correctly than
any other la wyer at this
bar historian superior to any
other man in the county, died be-
fore he was forty years old.
Mr.. w. E. Frazer, who was a
leading merchant, and whose
methods of doing business you
hear frequently mentioned in this
day, died at the age of about

OUR FATHER.

In memory of our father, Wyatt H.
Smith. who died December 6, 1907.
Farewell, dear father, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn.
We shall meet to part-nO>never-
On the resurrection morn.
Though thy darling form lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shalt have glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our numbers,
Thou no more our sorrows know,
Yet again, we hope to meet thee
When the days of life are fled,
And in heaven, with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
The gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still,
And on thy cold and icy brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy loving brow
And in our aching heart we know
We have no father now
Farewell, dear father, sweet thy rest
Weary with years and worn with
pain,
Farewell, til in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis ours to miss thee all our years,
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest. for so
He giveth His beloved seep
IT'S hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words;
We must forever part
Dearest loved one we must lay thee
In thy peaceful grave embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Earth has lost its look of gladness,
Heaven seems to us more bright
Since the spirit of dear father
Took it's happy homeward flight.
And we long to cross the river,
Long to rest upon that shore.
There to see and know and love him
With the Savior ever more.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven

 lip. a former Chicago journalist and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. agreed to go in with MT. Harris in any plan he might suggest. Every obsta- cle, no matter how unsurmOuntable, was overcome. Crisis after crisis de- ,veloped, the last of which was the fin ancial furry of last fall. And now the long suffering strap hangers of Chica- go are beginning to see the results.
 People live longer in prison than they would at liberty is the startling conclusion to which Health Commis- sioner Evans has come after investi- gating the vital statistics lof the Joliet and Michigan City penitentiaries. To illustrate: The death rate at Joliet for persons between the ages of 20 and 50 was only 7.73 per cent as compared with 11.22 per cent for people between the same ages residing in the city. "A study of the figures brings me to the conclusion that a man between 20 and 60 years of age living in Chicago will improve his chances of living 34.6 per cent-11.22 compared with 7.73-by go- ing to prison at Joliet" he stated re- gently. Control, feed, temperance. habits, sanitation and plumbing within prison walls, all operate to bring about longer life, and yet no one in Chicago is trying to break into jail to try it. The prison discipline makes it impos- sible for the man to dissipate, the work is so arranged that he will not over exert himself and regular hours are compulsory. Irregulaity, Dr. EV- ans concludes, kills men much faster than monotony. The only persons who are less likely to find their health ben efited by prison life are consumptives.

The Chicago Board of Trade Exercised Over Proposed Legislation Against Futures"

Chicago, March 2.-(Special corres- pondence of The Republican, The commercial bodies here and elsewhere in the west have awakened to the se- rious aspect of the bills pending in congress designed to make it q crime for any man to sell or offer to sell grain, provisions or cotton for future delivery unless he has at the time the grain, provisions or cotton in his pos session or is growing it on his farm or plantation. In statement issued by President Sager of the Chicago board of trade, he said: "In the few months succeeding the grain harvest the country sends to market the re- quirements of consumption for long period; an enormous surplus is stored in sight. Somebody must carry this load. Two classes do this: First, the farmers carry a large part of the crop for varying periods; second, the skill ed judges of values on the various ex- charges and, their following carry that part which the farmers do not choose to hold. If such a custom did not ex- ist we should be confronted annually with two hurtful extremes of value. First, immediately succeeding the har- vest. prices would in the face of present oversupply, fall to values be- low the cost of profitable production;
 later on, however, just before the fol- lowing harvest, supplies would be eX- hausted, an eager consumptive demand would then find no adequate supply and as a result values would leap up- ward to figures distressing to the poor and burdensome to the rich. Conse- quently, speculation, merely another name for the act of adjusting sup plies to requirements, gradually bring ing prices. as it does, from one condi- ton to meet another. is of the utmost

The Polar relief expedition which was conducted from Chicago to north ern Indiana last week to shovel out the New York Paris motor car con- testants who were caught in the great snow fall, the heaviest during the thirty years the weather bureau has had a station at the head of Lake Michigan. was truly realistic. After the experience with the snow in north ern Indiana the drivers of the cars said, the valley of the Yukon and the frozen steppes and tundras of Siberia would have no terrors for them. The Thomas car, the. only American con- testant, reached the city first. after being dragged through 10-foot snow drifts by six teams of horses and haul ed over railroad tracks by a switch engine. The French and Italian cars arrived a day later, after equally har- rowing experiences and after them the German car, driven by offices from the Kaiser's army.

Its value is well known as a means of avoiding or mitigating catastrophes, equalizing prices and providing for periods of want It is true that the success of the strong induces imitation by the weak, and that incompetent persons bring themselves to ruin by undertak- ing to speculate in their turn. But legislatures and courts generally have recognized that the natural revolutions of a complex society are to be touch ed only with a very cautious hand and that such coarse attempts at a remedy

importance. Speculation then is a natural and legitimate outgrowth of the great system that has been per fected for the marketing of our crops. It is a moderator, checking the greed of holders and placing a firm hand of restraint upon the exactions of buyers. It broadens the market; it makes the world conditions the measure of values. It preserves an equilibrium that could be maintained through no other agency. and as carried on under the legal restrictions and judicious reg ulations of the great exchanges. it is a factor conducive to the general wei fare"
