II you love, love more. If you

ness by learning to love, by teaching

Your form may be bent or ugly, but

had any interest, directly or indi-
rectly, in the manufacture or sale OF
whisky You and know, and every
man willing to know the truth
knows, that the records of your COun-
ty Clerks office, kept within a hun
dred feet of where now stand, bear
mute testimony to the fact that the
first vote he ever cast in his life was
for local opion in Bardstown. He
has voted that way for neraly a quar-
ter of a century. AT the last cleo
ton held in this county upon the
question, which was three years ago,
he then voted for local option; and
know and everybody knows, that he
will again vote for local option next

my recent canvass for reelection as
Circuit Judge of the Eleventh Judic-
ial district, when | was being fought
by the whisky interests of that dis
trict as, perhaps no man was ever
fought before, Ben Johnson was the
only man holding public office in
Kentucky outside of my district who
came to my assistance. In a speech
made in the very camp of the enemy,
with distilleries standing all about
him, he boldly and plainly stated
that upon the question of local OPP
ton he stood exactly where he had
always stood; that he had always
voted for it and always intended to
do so. He has never trimmed; he
has never lodged. Though he beats
no drum, blows no horn and never
marches with a brass band, you need
never doubt his position upon any
public question. More than that, he
is a dry man of the right kind
he practices what he breaches. He is
one of the few men of my acquain-
lance of whom 1t can be truthfully
said that neither spirituous, vinous
nor malt liquor ever passed his

Winds gradually drift great masses
OF snow into ravines and mountain

snow and ice is called Glacier. Many
years ago there was long period oil

that time a great body of ice.known
as the Laurentian Glacier, extended
over Canada and other parts OF
British America far down into the
United States. Its most extreme
lobe reached point in the Mississip-
pi valley, not far from the mouth oil

QUESTIONS TO
Be PERSONAL.
Census Taker Must Be
Strong.
Applications for Positions Must
be in by Jan. 25.-Prelimi-
nary Directions.

AS the time for taking the 1910 fed
eral census approaches interest be-
gins to pick up and already many
men in this vicinity are preparing to
go after the positions of census tax
ers in their respective districts. Per-
haps details of their duties may deter
some of them.
Dana Durand, chef census taker in
the United States, has issued his pre-
liminary instructions. The examina-
ton for census enumerators takes
place on February and all applica-
lions must be in by January %. The
examination is in reality a test of the
mental capacity of the applicant, and
college education Is not required.
Each applicant will be given reg
ulation census blank to fill out cor
rectly, and the papers will be marked
by the census supervisor. The best
will be sent to washington as the
supervisors recommendation of those
who are most fit to hold jobs as
enumerators in his district. But mere
intelligence will not get a man a job.
Director Durand urged that even II a
man pass a perfect test he is never
theless undesirable If he Is not polite,
or has a defect In his speech, or has
some facial deformity or is otherwise
So different from other people as to
be noticeable. Then again, a man
who Is known to be morally unfit
can't get job,because people usually
don't like totell their family history
to men they don't think we'll of. Most
enumerators will get two cents for
every name they collect. A small
portion Of them will be paid by the
day.
Here are the questions the census
man will ask you, according to the
enumeration schedule here published
for the first time:
Your full name; sex; color or race;
age at last birthday; whether single,
married, widowed or divorced; num-
Der of years of present marriage;
place of birth; place of birth of faith
er, place of birth of mother; If for
eign-born, year of immigration; nat
uralized or not?
Able to speak English; if not, what
language; trade or profession; geh-
eral nature of industry or profession;
whether employe, employer or work
ing on own account? Are you out of
work? How long Were you out of
work in 1909. Can you write? Can
you read? Have you attended school
any time since Sept. l, 1909? Do you
own your own house or rent it? If
you own your own home is it free or
the Union or Confederate army or
navy? Are you blind? Are you deaf
and dumb or only dumb or only deaf
don't look as If hey would coveT
much space on an enumeration Slip
but things are not what they seem al
all. The enumeration schedules thai
each enumerator is destined to carry
with him from house TO house are
each two feet long by two feet wide
and there are enough ruled lines on
them to permit the taking of 1000
names. So you observe, one must be
strong as well as intelligent to be a
census enumeration.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 2S.-The Ken

Beriah Magoffin, who was in the ex-

declaration to Secretary of War Stan
ton that Kentucky would decline to
furnish any troops to assist in war
upon her sister States. There has

been anxious to secure a portrait of
the War Governor. Mrs. Rue has pro

correct some misrepresentation which
were being made relative to his po-

Sin the course of his remarks he
also said:

To my mind the best 1lgnt ever

on June Q, 1899, when / knocked him
osrt in eleven rounds at the Coney
Island Athletic Club and became
champion Of the world.
Previous to this fight | had met

go into the ring faster and better
than ever been in my life, so
souId do myself justice. l had new

carried too much weight.

take off weight. When my throat be-
came parched l simply gargled.
The conditions under which tough

my packers did not think l could de-
feat the champion, and incidents oil
nv training had been discouraging.
AS a matter Of fact, however, re-
gard my battle with Fitzsimmons as
one of the easiest in my career. At
the end | was not even breathing
deeply.
The impression has prevailed In
the minds of some that my stomach
was inyulnerable, but If this was
true. that blow Fitzsimmons landed
under my heart in the fourth round
would have shown the weakness. 1t
was a right hand blow, delivered with
every ounce of strength Fitzsimmons
possessed, but can honestly say 1t
did not bother me.
Only once during the fight did
Fitzsimmons hurt me and that was
when he split my eyelid. His body

outgenerald Fitzsimmons in this
battle by forcing him to lead. His
strong hold had always been coun-
tering, but as l kept after him con-
tinually, he had TO lead or back away
and when thus forced he was non
plused.
| knocked Fitzsimmons down in the
second round with a straight left to
the mouth and he actually looked sur
prised. He did his best work in the
fifth round and shot his bolt, Tor
his heaviest blows failed to prove as
effective as they had against other
men. In the eighth round, after i
had knocked him down, Fitzsimmons
came up looking scared. He realized
then, / think for the first time, that
he was beaten man. knocked
him out in the eleventh with right
hand swing to the chin.
