Got His Fees.

Got His Fees.
A quaint character was Sugar, the
verger of Halifax parish church. On
one occasion bridegroom after the
service said that he had no money
with which the pay the verger's fees.
Sugar went to the bride in his most
winsome way and asked her: Hast
ever seen Black Bibles? We've a rare
lot on 'em in this ERE vestry"
NO" she replied, not having the
faintest idea of what a Black Bible
was.
Coon along. I'll show yer them"
He lured her into the inner vestry.
There's the Bibles" he said, point
ing to them, locked up as they were in
bookcase with glass panels, Of which
he had not the key. "Wait awhile till
I COON back"
He turned the key of the vestry on
the bride and, going to the bridegroom,
said, Lass is all right, but you'll no
have her till you have paid"
The bridegroom hastily dug up.

A Cook to the End.

"a good cook has the spirit of cook
cry born in him." said French chef,
land in him it never dies. His first
lisped baby word is of food, and a
sauce or a navarin is the subject Of his
last dying breath.
did you ever hear of poor CASTOR
Laurent, the distinguished cook Of Pail
larl's? Castor went on a voyage to
the south seas in 1895. His ship was
wrecked, and he and his party were
captured by cannibals. Being plump.
CASTOR, alas, was the first of the i'll
fated party to be consigned to the
great iron casserole. And the surviv-
ors say that nothing could have been
more touching and more sublime than

Chaos In knowledge.

And so, say it most confidently. the
FIRST intellectual task of our age is
rightly to order and make serviceable
the vast realm Of printed material
which four centuries have swept across
our path. To organize our knowledge,
to systematic our reading, to save out
of the relentless cataract Of ink the
immortal thoughts of the greatest, this
is necessity unless the productive in
genuity of man is to lead us at last to
a measureless and painless chaos. To
know anything that turns up is in the
infnity of knowledge to know nothing
To read the first book we come across
in the wilderness Of books is to learn
nothing. To turn over the pages Of
ten thousand volumes is to be prac-
tically Indifferent to all that is good

the rivers of Kentucky is to be de.
cided in Richmond, and The case is
being watched with interest, rs
many men now earn livelihood by
fishing out logs. John. Follls and
William Eversole were arrested in
Frankfort recently on complaint of
the Southern Lumber Company,
which has a plant at Valley View,
in Madison county. They were taken
to, Richmond for an examining trial.
Both men have been recovering logs
from the Kentucky River, and this
calling has been practiced for many
years on this and other rivers,
The logs are fished up and IL
they are branded are turned over TO
their owners, who pay 81 or A.s5

is not bHnded it belongs 10 the

No question of the right Of these
men to raise these logs has ever

The following is an editorial from

No region in Kentucky or in the

A few years ago q travelling man

uncertain Stage line, but today one
can go from Ashland 10 Elkhorn City

Iortauon facilities is typical Of the
almost magical development In almost
every other line up this valley
Six years ago the line was OK

Use that it would shortly be push
ed through the mountains into Vir-
.inia and then on to the Atlantic
coast. The extension Of this road
has made accessible one of the rich
est bituminous coal fields in Am
erica and has given the people u
this section a vision of this val
ley as great industrial center, q
vision which they are already set
ting out to realize. The richness Of
this coal field has attracted the
attention of all American leading
coal operators, and, strange to say,
more investors are coming from
without than within the State. From
one end Of the valley to the other
Is a scene of great activity; mines
ere being opened everywhere, spurs
are being pushed out fromthe rail-
