COLLEGE NOTES.

Mr.. J. X. Gregory, who has been
attending the commercial department
of Paducah- Central Business College.
is now bookkeeper at the BONNER To-
'bocco company, Ninth and Harrison
streets. where the college placed him.
Mr.. Gregory acquired also a fine hand
writing at the college.
The college reports its attendance
larger and larger each succeeding
year, the present enrolment being
the largest since its opening six years
ago, there being only two vacant
desks at present and those will likely
be taken soon.
Mr.. Ben ID. Wick. a young school
teacher from near Ledbetter, who
has been taking the commercial
course at Padueah-Central. left yes
terday to take the position of book
keeper and assistant cashier Of a
bank at Tolu, Ky. Mr.. Wick had not
quite completed his course. but the
college officials say that about FIVE of
their pupils have been sent to banks
and made good before completing
their courses, while none have failed.
Paducah-Central Business College
has been making several additions OF
late. among which Is a new Office,
adding machines. etc. II has always
been an exceedingly well equipped
institution and each year makes the
addition of modern Office devices OF
the kind used in the best business
Offices.
Paducah-Central students have
formed two basketball teams and are
training to challenge the High school
team. II they play ball like 'Padu-
cab Centrals" operate typewriters,
keep books. or write shorthand, there
will be fun for somebody.
Among the basketball team are:
Misses Gertrude Fisher. Anna Har-
Ian, May Milburn. Ruth Mcneil.
Ruby Johnson. Sarah Wilson, Flora
Mccain and Mabel Berry.
The college heretofore closed from
noon until 1:15 for lunch, but now
closes at II; i5 until 1 p. m, TO afford
its students from distance the first
dash at the boarding house grub"
This is in keeping with the college
record OF affording their students the
facility to become first in everything.
An additional new modern fire es-
cape has just been Installed in the
rear of Paducah-Central. thus now
affording its pupils three different

heretofore. This is a wise addition
and one to be wisely considered when
selecting a college.
Paducah-Central has pupils now
from as far west as California. This
Is quite remarkable for a college
which started only a few years ago
with one desk and one pupil and has
grown without any standing adver-
tisement in the newspapers. This
speaks well. for none other than a
college of great efficiency could exist
without continual advertising. In
deed. some colleges would get very
little business at all without continual
advertising. Paducah-Centr is all
right. II Is Paducah's college and Is
doing much Tor Paiucah.
Mr.. ]. F. Sexton. who is now at
tending Paducah-Central Business
college. and who will soon complete
his course. has left for Smithland,
KY, where lie intends 10 announce
his candidacy for Office OF circuit
clerk OF Livingston county. Mr.. Sex
ton Is q very popular young man and
IL is fully believed he will win his
race.

How can get to her castle?" asked

How can get to her castle?" asked
Dorothy.
THE road is straight to the south, -
he answered, but it is said to be full
of dangers to travellers. There are
wild beasts in the woods and a race
, If queer men who do not like stran-
gers to cross their country. For this
reason none of the Quadlings ever
come to the Emerald City"
The soldier then left them and the
Scarecrow said:
1T seems, in spite of dangers, that
the best thing Dorothy can do is to
travel to the Land of the South and
ask Glinda to help her. For, of course,
if Dorothy stays here she will never
get back to Kansas"
You must have been thinking
again." remarked the Tin Woodman.
Il have" said the Scarecrow.
81 shall go with Dorothy" declared
the Lion, for l am tired of your city
and long for the woods and the coun-
try again. l am really a wild beast,
you know. Besides, Dorothy will need
scme one to protect her."

her: so I. also will go with her to the
Land of the South"
When shall we start?" asked the
Scarecrow.
Are you going?' they asked, in
surprise.
Certainly. If it wasn't for Dorothy
l should never have had brains. She
lifted me from the pole In the corn
field and brought me tc the Emerald
City. So my good luck is all due to
her, and l shall never leave her until
she starts back to Kansas for good
and all"

BALLINCER ASKS
INVESTIGATION
0EcRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
WILL FIGHT PiNCHOT'S
CHARGES.
PRESIDENT HAS AGREED
ALLEGATIONS OF CLAWS AND
OTHERS WILL BE FULLY
PROBED.

Washington-Presi Taft Mon
day Welded to the demands of both
Secretary Ballinger and his critics for
public investigation of the whole
subject matter underlying the So
called Ballinger-Pinchot controversy.
Ballinger Monday afternoon served
upon the President virtually an ulti-
matum to the effect that such an in
vestigaion was indeed the price of his
remaining in the cabinet. He made it
clear to the President that he was no
longer willing to sit silent in his office
in the Interior Department and wait
for the thing to blow over"
Taft, it is said, reluctantly admitted
the disappointment of his hope that
the country a large would accept as
final his own vindication of Ballinger
in his dismissal of the charges brought
against the secretary of the interior
by l.. R. CLAWS, the former special
agent of the land office, and his con-
clusion that the investigation demand
ed by both sides in this matter was
inevitable.
Ballinger's attitude in this matter
has the support of leading Repub-
licans in both branches of Congress-
senators and representatives who
feel that, entirely apart from the mer-
its of the controversy itself, fester-
ing sore of this character must poison
the whole system of the party in
power and that it is high time to re-
sort to the lance.
These leaders, determined that a
cleansing of this wound is necessary,
have not hesitated to go to the White
house and impress their views upon
President Taft. Conferences of con-
fdential character, in which members
Of the cabinet, party leaders in both
houses of Congress, and the President
himself have participated, have been
held during the last few days. They
eliminated Monday when Secretary
Ballinger, Attorney General Wicker
sham and Postmaster General Hitch
cock met in Wickersham's office and
proceeded thence to the White house.
where the matter was laid before the
President.
Ballinger told the President, 1t is
said, that the situation had become in
tolerable to him, and that though the
constant charges against him had
come from irresponsible persons, he
could no longer sit supinely by. and in
justice to himself he felt compelled to
insist upon an investigation.
The President was given to under
stand that Ballinger's demand carried
with it the Endorsement of both Sec
retaries Wickersham and Hitchcock
1t is known that he has the sympathy
also of other members of the cabinet

Piper Who Played for the UnhoIy
korrigans, and the Curse There
by Entaled.

The korrigans are the black dwarfs
of Brittany who dwell in the sacred
Druidic circles Of the menhirs and
count their cash in the moonshine.
When mere mortals encounter them
by night the korrigans force their
visitors to dance with them around
and around, singing monotonously the
names of the days of the week from
Monday to Sunday This is the theme
of the best known tradition dealing
with them, the story of Lao and the
korrigans. Lao was prize piper and
came to set the dance at the pardon
of Armor. Women, terrified at their
discovery Of korrigan town, be-
sought him to avoid the little black
folk, but he laughed them down.
Bravely enough he went to the korri-
gan town, but terror came over him
in the dark when he heard whispered
sounds and dimly saw dark shadows
marching with him in the gloom.
Then the moon rose and the little
creatures bade him play for their
dance. All night long he played upon
his pipss and the little people capered
