The Earliest ReIicion.

Religion was at first purely dog
matte, an affair of the family, pure and
simple. The gods were the dead an
cestors, and the worship consisted of
the perpetual care of the hearth fire
and the graves Of the departed rela-
tives. 1t was the ancient belief (the
most ancient, so far as we know that
the departed ancestors continued to
live in or about the tomb, and that
their peace and happiness depended
absolutely upon the care with which
their posterity looked after their wor-
ship. If the hearth fire was allowed to
die down, or the tomb was neglected,
or the food and drink were not faith
fully taken to the tomb, their exist
ence became a wretched one; where
as, if these things were carefully at
tended to, all was serene with them.
There is much to show that this
domestic belief obtained for a long
time before the belief in God and a
future life came in.-Chicago Amer.

TRAP FOR EAvEsDRoPPERs,
Simple Device Well Calculated to In
sure Privacy.

The eavesdropper, ere applying his
ear, applied his eye. Through the
keyhole another eye looked colby into
his. He started back, pale with fright.
He tiptoed off hurriedly. "I'll lose my
job" he muttered.
Meanwhile his mistress, the widow,
sat with the young and gallant cap
tain in the room from whose door the
eavesdropper had retreated. A ciga-
rette smoldered between her slim fin
gers and her dimpled elbows were
on the table, among the litter of
foie gras sandwiches, cold partridge
and champagne
The young captain pointed to the
door. A hand mirror, its silver-gilt
back towards him, hung from the
door knob.
why did you put that there?'
he asked.
'It is a trap for peppers" replied
the widow. Suppose my butler OF
cook stole to the door and put his
eye to the keyhole His eye would
meet another eye. Believing himself
discovered, he would trot silently
away"

DIRECTORY.
Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
tucky has population of 2,147,174.
TIE area is 4G,400 square miles
400 of which is water. The streams
within the State, as a rule head in the
Southeast and flow in a Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
structiOn of railroads and the devel-
opTent of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only limited demand for coal and
lumber.~-Now that the demand has in
creased. 1t would seem that
kind providence has held in
reserve our almost inexhaustible util-
tiles until time when they are most
needed by the country. Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for many years to
come.
We have coal area of over fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities are being developed in
many localities.
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than in other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
always welcome.

Loved and Hated

Europe hates our rich art patrons
and loves them. II loves them for the
money they have made and are will
ing to spend on old masters and new
masters, even when they are spuri,
GUS. 1t hates the rich American when
he beats rich European in competi-
ton for some highly desired art treas
ure. Then Americans become mere
men who triumph by brute strength OF
the longer purse, and, worst than that,
art consumers who raise art prices to
unreasonable heights by their tradi-
tional desire to get what they want

NJ NELL WILL RUN
LEHMAN SPRINGS

Frank Mcneil, formerly connected
with the management of the Lehman
springs resort will have charge of that
place next year. Through a deal that
has just been closed the lease upon
the springs held by H. C. Means has
been transferred to Mcneil.
w. II. Mccormack Is the owner
of Lehman springs and it was through
him that the lease was transferred
to Mcneil. Mcneil is from Spokane
but was at the springs last year. He
is now negotiating for the purchase
Of the resort, but up to this time no
trade has been made and the transfer
Of the lease was perfected.
Mr.. Mcneil is related through his
wife to Bert Smith, the well known
sheepman, and this fact caused ru-
NOR that the springs had been pur-
chased by the ]. f. Smith company
and would be used as a sheep ranch.
However, this is denied by McCorm-
mach. who says the resort will be
continued as summer resort. The
$40 acres Of grazing land included
with the springs property will be used
for pasturage purposes as in the past.

LOCAL TRAIN WILL
Be ESTABLISHED
WILL BE IN OPERATION
BEFORE MIDDLE OF MONTH
So Says o. r. & n. Attorney-Sud-
den Decision Genes As Result of
Proceeding Instituted by District
Attorney Phelps to Compel Local
Service,

The Pendleton-Portland local train
is to be e-established, probably next
Monday morning and before the fif-
teenth of this month, sure. This was
the statement made in this city this
morning by Arthur c. Spencer, attor-
ney for the o. R. & n. company.
Spencer says the arrangements for
this train were made several days ago
and that the state railroad commits
sion was aware of this fact when it
issued instructions to District Attor-
ney Phelps, Saturday, to bring man
damus proceedings to compel the
railroad company to put on this train.
The railroad attorney says his COM
pany has realized that the service ac-
corded the local people was not good
but that they have been doing all in
their power to improve it. He says
the heavy colonist and fair traffic
has simply given them more than they
