MARKET CONDITIONS GOOD.

3
The Chicago market starts this
week with an active demand for good
business horses, chunks and drafters.
Business conditions in the east appear
to be gradually recovering from the
result the industrial demand for serv-
iceable hroses is Improving. My opinion
Is we can look for good strong de-
mand for the next two months for all
the good horses we can collect.
However, am well aware that our
receipts during that period will be
very light, due to the fact that the
backwardness OF the spring has con-
gested farm work until 1t will be nee
cessary to put, into the service every
available horse, that the corn crop
may be gotten in in season am also
well convinced that the few who can
have horses here for the next three
or four sales will be we'll repaid.
Next sale Friday. May IA

SOFTDRINKSANDCIG
Are Necessaries According to
PaduCah Judge.

The Paducah News Democrat says:
Attorney David Browning, who was
selected as special judge few weeks
ago in Sunday violation cases in the
police court, has rendered his opin-
ion of the soda fountain. drug stores
and confectionery cases. He has
been at work on the opinion for sew
eral days and after due and careful
deliberation delivered it Thursday.
Taking a most liberal view he
holds that soda fountain drinks in
this hot climate are a necessity and
may be sold, also ice cream, and per-
mits the sale of cigars, all of which
he says are harmless and demanded
by the people. In deciding what are
necessities Special Judge Browning
comedies with Judge Pryor, in the
definition of the word necessity,
which is 'The law regards that as
necessary which the common sense
of the country, in its ordinary mode
of doing business, regards as neces.
sary."
He also holds that it is necessary
that drug stores remain open be-
cause drugs are necessary, and if
person, in a severe case, should be
compelled to wait until a druggist
could get from his home to his store
to sell a certain drug or drugs the
patient for whom the medicine was
for might die before it could be Sc
cured. Therefore, the court holds
that drug stores should be open at
all times.
The cases he decided were against
W. B. Mcpherson. w. j. Gilbert,
Walker Drug Company and the Col
umbia. All were dismissed. Several
days ago he fined the Jake Beider.

Old staaecoaoh DAYS.

Adventures of varied nature belonged
to the old English mail coach days.
One of the most thrilling episodes of
the road occurred one night on the
way from Salisbury to London in 1916
AS the coach went bowling along the
horses suddenly became extremely
nervous, and what was thought to be
a large calf was seen trotting along
beside the left leader In the darkness.
AS they neared the inn the horses be-
came uncomfortable, and then the sup
posed calf seized one of the animals
BY this time the horses were frantic,
plunging and kicking, and it was re-
markable that the coach was not over
turned.
The guard laid hold of his gun and
was about to shoot the assailant when
several men, accompanied by a large
mastif, appeared. The foremost, see
ing that the guard was about to fire,
pointed a pistol at his head, declaring
that he would shoot If the beast was
killed.
The "calf' was a lioness, escaped
from a travelling show The dog was
set upon the brute, who left the horse,
seized the mastiff, tore him to pieces
and retreated under a granary. The
spot was barricaded to prevent her
escape, and she was noosed and re-
turned to captivity
The horse which had been seized
was seriously injured by the lioness'
but finally recovered.

"Rich as a nabob" is an expression
not infrequently heard, but why ma
bob" should thus be associated with
wealth and who he was precisely is
not so generally known. Under the
great moguls the provinces Of India
were administered by deputies known
by the designation of 'nawab," who
commonly amassed much money and
lived in great splendor. The Office and
the title continued under British rule
in the orient, but gradually the word
became corrupted into "nabob" and
was applied generally to all natives
who had grown rich. More latterly it
was bestowed - often In a derisive
sense--upon Europeans who, having
made large fortunes in India, returned
home and spent their money in a lux
urious and ostentatious way.-London

Iceberg Designs.

All the architecture Of the world is
represented in natures iceberg de-
signs. Sometimes a little berg will
have the appearance Of an Arabs
white tent as it rides on a desert look
ing sea; another its sharp outlines
softened in the vaporous atmosphere,
will appear like a domed mosque in
green marble. A cluster Of Chinese pa
godas comes drifting slowly down the
current, followed by stately Gothic
cathedral, early style. Then comes a
coliseum, and beyond huge man-of-
war floats down the current, its stem
submerged, with foam grandly break
ing over it, the stern seventy-tive feet
aloft.

Recent events in Turkey are being
repeated in Persia. The Constitu'
tionalist forces, the advance of which
on leheran for time was not con-
sidered serious, are now in possession
of the greater part of the city, which
they entered Tuesday without Ell
countering any organized resistance.
The occupation of the Persian capt.
tai by the Nationalist is direct re-
suit of the insistence Of the Persian
people that the Shah govern the
country under the constitution of
Jan. |, 1907. The Shah signed the
constitution when he assembled the
throne. butlhe showed an inclination
to disregard it and finally with
drew it. The British and Russian
governments have been eXerting
their influence to induce the Shah to
summon a representative assembly
to bring the state of anarchy to an
end, and Russia, acting in full accord
with Great Britain, has dispatched
a military expedition in Persia from
Baku for the protection of foreign
ers. This force is now at Kazvin,
eighty.six miles from Teheran.
