Consider the Birds Of tho Air.

An eminent ornithologist calls atten
ton to the fact that crane can travel
through the air thousand miles q
day without flapying It's wings, but by
merely keeping lhem stretched and
adjusted to the prevailing breeze. A
hawk can stay in the air for days and
weeks, moving with it's wings motion
less. 1t is the same Nth the gulls
and numerous other winged creatures
In studying the science OF aerostatics
consider the binds Of the air.

He comes qualified to perform any
operation known to dental science.

Gcdanuous artificial teeth are con-

to detect that they are not the natural

gums, added to this is the fact that
they are practically indestructible, set

MAYOR HUME
Urging Passage Of Bill To Establish
Law School Here.

Mayor e. E. Hume, is pushing the
bill he had introduced in the Legis.
lature, providing for the converting
of the old Stateheuse and Executive
Building into educational institutions,
the former into a school of law to
be an adjunct to the State University
at Lexington, and the latter to be
made the Central State Normal
School. Mayor Hume says his pro-
position can't be got away from and
that nothing that could be enacted
by the Legislature would so rebound
to the cause of education in Kentucky
as would the passage of the measure
he is championing. He has several
strong allies who are helping him to
land the project which it is admitted
an all sides would be a big thing for
this city.

HEALTH OFFICERS
Met Here Monday and Asked In.
creased Appropriation From
Legislature.

Health officers of several cities in
Kentucky and physicians who are in
terested in the work of the State
Board OF Health held a meeting here
Tuesday afternoon to discuss legisla-
tion which is proposed. DIR. J. N. Nc
Cormack, of Bowling Green, secre. airy
of the State Board, was also here.
The physicians thought it would be
wise to increase the appropriation
by the State for the maintenance of
the State Board from $4,000 as at pres
ent to $4,000. The meeting disap-
proved the bill allowing young men
to enter a medical college on certifi-
cate, from the county Judge, and want
a stricter examination than is pre-
scribed at present.

FEDERAL COURT.
Representative Langley viii Try To
Have Sessions Divided Between
Frankfort and Jackson.

Representative Langley says he
will probably introduce a bill in Con
gress to abolish the terms of the
Federal Court at Richmond in view
of his bill to have two terms year
at Jackson. His bill for two terms at
Jackson is being opposed by Senate
McCreary, whose home is at Rich
mond, and by other citizens of that
place, DIS well as by the Judge of the
district and the district attorney.
Mr.. Langley says that Richmond is
close to Frankfort, comparatively, and
that it would not be hardship to
abolish the Richmond court, allowing
half of the Richmond court work to
go to Frankfort and the other half
to Jackson. 1t is not known whether
the judge and district attorney would
oppose such changes.

TO Sell BLUEGRASS HOME

Mr. James w. Parrish, of near Mid.
way, the largest tobacco grower in
Contra Kentucky, and one of the
weafhiest men in Woodford county,
against whom suit has been filed by
the Burley Tobacco Society for $4,000
damages alleging breach of contract
in the sale of $4,000 pounds of pooled
1906 tobacco, advertised his farm of
900 acres for sale in the Blue Grass
Clipper of Midway. The advertise
ment states that the farm and resi-
dence which Mr.. Parrish has just
completed, but has not yet been oc-
cupied, will be offered at public sale
on April 2, If not sold privately before.
The dwelling is one of the finest in
the State, costing, /; is said. over
$4,000.
In a card to the Woodford Sun, Mr..
Parrish says: 81 have not sold, or at
tempted to- sell, any pooled tobacco.
None OF my tenants have ever pooled
their crops" In the same card Mr..
Parrish announceses that he will not
grow any tobacco this year.

In Allen county, the river,

these mounds are located the river
makes a bend, and after encircling
large scope of country comes back
to almost within stones throw of
where it started, making a horseshoe.
in fact, that part of the river is now
known as Horseshoe Bend
The mounds are built just where
the bend starts, and were seemingly
built 10 protect the land inside of the
bend. Several years ago a party did
considerable excavating in one of
these mounds, and, in addition to
bones, found several pieces of crock
cry, an oblong rock similar to those
used by Indians in dressing hides,
though of better workmanship, and
many other things of interest. After
digging down some, few feet on top
of the mounds, four stones were found
where the skeletons were located.
When touched the bones would drop
to pieces, but the teeth were well pre-
served, the enamel being almost as
perfect as ever.
The Barren county mound is some
thing like ten to fifteen feet high,
about thirty feet across at the top and
more than a hundred at the bot
tom.
The highest rise in Barren River
has never gone over the mound. Many
times in the last decade l. seemed
as If it would be submerged, but just
before the top was reached the water
would recede This fact prompted the
Jewell family to convert the top OF
the mound into a burying ground,
and more beautiful place could not
be found.
The most puzzling feature of the
mound is where the dirt came from
of which it was constructed. Those
who have examined the dirt say that
1t is of different kind of any in that
section. Many believe it must have
been brought from a distance, while
some think it was taken from the
bed of the river. In either case il
was an enormous undertaking.

BROUGHT THEM ALL WITH HIM.
Farmer Came with His "Bits o
Things" a. Directed.

The love of animals is deeply i'm
planted in the Magyar character, and
most Of the peasant farmers Of Hun
gary own valuable horses and high
bred stock. They are well-to-do, al
though they live In primitive man
ner. have keen sense of humor, and
are ready to take trouble to put the
laugh on some one else. In "The
Whirlpool Of Europe" this story is told
of one Of the Magyar farmers:
A typical peasant farmer, a man
Of considerable wealth, was well
known for his adherence to old clothes
and customs. On one occasion q
young farmer, new to the district,
who had takea small holding not
far from that Of the old man, per
ceived shabby figure leaning against
the gate on the edge of his property,
and said: Hi, old man, Do you want
some work."
The wearer of the shabby sheep
skin took his long pipe out OF his
mouth and nodded gravely.
We'll, you come along tomorrow
and look after some of my sheep.
Bring any of your bits of things or
animals with you; there's plenty Of
room on my farm"
The next day, as the young farmer
walked across his fields, he saw q
cloud OF dust coming up the road.
Presently there emerged from it a
herd Of COVE. horses and sheep-hun-
dreds OF animals with their driver.
The cavalcade swept past the aston
ished man. Behind 1t came huge
wagon, creaking and groaning, laden
with heavy furniture, In the front Of
which sat his shabby acquaintance II
the day before.
You told me to bring my animals
and bits OF things said the old man,
and here We are."-Youth's Com
