servant. because they are interested
in the subject, and they will be Pa
ducah's guests. Paducah must have
the house put to rights before the
company comes and the spare room
looking spic and span. The impress
sion these women get of Paducah on
this visit. the first for some of them,
will be carried to all parts of the
state in formal reports and informal
discussions. Paducah has some ad-
vantages over other cities in appear
ance, and we must make these adj
vantages conspicuous when they ar
rive. Paducah has some defects. and
we must minimize these defects ere
they come. First essential is cleanli-
ness. The streets and yards and
alleys and cutters must be clean.
Weeds must be cut down, flowers
planted and lawns moved. Every
citizen. and particularly every prop
erty owner. should take an interest
in making Paducah look her best
for the visitors. 1t will make the
city the subject of favorable COM
ment elsewhere, attract people here
and improve the real estate market.
Let's look spruce and prosperous. IL
doesn't cost anything but little
effort.

An Excellent Bill.

An Excellent Bill.
The Seven Russells. in big min
strel novelty, made a big hit at the
Crystal their first day and every
number was encored. The little COM
pany is costumed and trained to per-
lection, and the harmony they get out
of their ballads is wonderful. The
Great Burnell was another feature.
Prof. Marquis.
Prof. c. L. Marquis, "The Myster-
ious Mr.. Rallies" gave a very interest
ing entertainment at the Kentucky
last night 10 a good sized audience.
He is a hypnotlst and the program
arranged for the performance was
very entertaining.
Ruth Gray.
Ruth Gray was the attraction for
the opening at Wallace park last
night, and despite the inclement
weather, she had good sized audi
ence.

"Ill attend to everything here. Don't
let there be any delay on your part"
The secretary hurried away TO
make preparations for his departure,
leaving the perturbed ambassador to
prepare his reports. He called a cab
and drove to his apartment, intent on
first telephoning to Miss Roberts. His
man met him at the door and handed
him a letter addressed in a familiar
hand, which he hastily tore open and
read as he stood In the open doorway:
Dear Guy: have been called
away very suddenly, and am going TO
my father. He needs me now more
than ever. cannot alter anything
which | told you last night. nor can
add anything. save to say that some
time. somehow. God willing. we shall
be together again. under circum-
stances where | can tell you all the
truth. II will do no good 10 write to
the old address; for | shall not be
there. There will be no means Of our
communicating, fear. for an in
definite time. II Is always within the
realms of possibility. when war is on
land. that friends may never meet
again. II such should be our case, |
pray that you will remember this
even up to the last loved you.
Good.by. NORMA"
Stunned by this unexpected missive,
he hurried TO the telephone. and In a

departed in the earlier hours Of the
morning after receiving a message
presumably from her father. He
could learn nothing further OF her. He
was stopped as II by an iasurmount-
abb. wall. lie cursed the fate which
separated them and the order which
sent him away without giving time to
see her, and almost in open rebellion
thought for a moment OF refusing 10
act as kings courier. resolving rather
to resign from his position and aban-
don his post; but he was bound by
the training OF years and the demands
OF duty, and at the last moment
boarded the train which was TO take
him from the country and the woman
he loved.
And even as he went the object OF
his solicitude was speeding away into
the south on a special train.
The train consisted Of only two
Pullmans and a dining car. Before 1t
in its southern tiight the way seemed
always open, aud hour after hour II
rushed onward, drawn by the most
powerful locomotives that could be OBJ
tanned. Norma was the only woman
passenger aboard; all the others were
gyim-faced. sun-tanned men Of the
sea. who had been summoned to Wash
ington from various navy yards and
ships within the month. OF all on
board she was the only civilian. and
yet the one whom the government
seemed most anxious TO transport.
The officers themselves gathered into
little groups. discussing the war
which had opened so abruptly, and
specializing as to why In such an I'm
portant crisis they had been ordered
from their posts OF duty to report for
further advices and sealed instruc.
tons at so unimportant and isolated
a seaport as the small one on the
coast Of Florida to which they we're
heading.
Another singular feature OF this
Journey was thas. all aboard from the

A GOOD JAILER.

II Is an especial pleasure, when a
public Office looks like a sinecure, to
observe the incumbent performing
such tasks as fall to his lot so well
and so asiduously that they take first
rank in importance to the public.
1t would seem that there is nothing
in the Office of city jailer to call for
unusual talents and yet observation
of the manner in which City Jailer
Wade Brown performs his duties con-
vinces the observer that the city could
not afford to be without a man like
Wade Brown in that position. Clean
illness Is the first law of the custodian
of the city hall; and Wade Brown and
his TRUSTEES are not idle a moment;
securing woodwork and floors. and
the front steps and windows and
cleaning the sidewalks, making little
repairs and cultivating the city hall
yard. II is nothing more than he
ought to do. TO be sure. but the city
hall has been filthy in its day.
In the Jail under the city hall
Jailer Brown has met the foes that
creep and tickle, and vanquished
them; but it is desperate war against
vermin he is waging and eternal Wig
lance Is demanded, for every new
prisoner brings reinforcements. The
jailer has experimental until he has
become acquainted with the habits
and customs, not only of police court
habitues, but OF their bugs. and every
prisoner goes through a process before
he is admitted into full fellowship of
the city Jail. The cell room Is kept
in remarkable order, ard when the
jailer gets his bath tubs installed he
will command the situation against all
corners.
Dirt and squalor and misery and
loss of pride have much to do with
making criminals. Many OF those jail
/ rds have never known the real lux
ury of cleanliness. There Is some
thing in the sense of cleanliness that
Is uplifting. Taken to jail and
cleaned up and sobered up on whole
some Diet with long hours in which
to mediate, many a bum may be bet
tered by his contact with the law. II
certainly would not be carrying out
the ideas we preach, to arrest a man
and throw him in the dirt.
While good dsciplinarian and in
s.sting on obedience and cleanliness,
Jailer Brown Is a humanitarian, and
his Thoughtful sympathy for dis
tressed humanity has been the means
OF relieving much suffering. and many
a prisoners heart has been touched
by the first sympathetic interest
shown i'm his welfare In so long a time
he has come to believe the whole
world Is down on him.
Officials around the city hall have
come to a realization that men can
have special aptitude for such Offices
as hat of city jailer, and the city
needs more than robust person. who
can chuck unfortunate humanity into
a dirty hole and keep II there at the
city's expense until such a, time as the
court fixes.
