Contests In Boyd County.

Some of the defeated ones for
Boyd county officers are not sat
isfied with the results shown by a
count OF the votes cast on the
second Of this mohtl Notices of
contest were filed last Monday by
Attorney J. F. stewart and G. Ed
ward Horrocks. Repp blicans, have

held up in all these cases, but the
remaining county officials elect have
received their respective passports,
The bone Of contention seems to
center in the Court House Precinct.
in Catlettsburg, where gross irreg-
ularities are charged by the inter
ested parties.
Should this precinct be thrown
out, 1t would affect materially, the
political complexion of the county
roster Of officials. 1t would re-
suit in the election Of two more Re-
publican aspirants, j. F. Stewart,
County Judge, C. Edward Horrocks,
Sheriff, and the incumbent Ellis E.
Lawrence, Democrat, over Edward
S. Hughes, for County Clerk.

New York.-Theodore Roosevelt, ex

out of New York harbor Tuesday on
the steamer Hamburg of the Hamburg
American line on the way to his much
heralded hunting trip in British East
Africa.
On the dock was large assemblage
of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends, who had
gathered to bid him God-speed, and
who cheered him as he stood at the
rail OF the steamer waving his hand
and smiling with delight. Beside him
stood the three men selected from
hundreds of applicants to accompany
him and assist him In collecting the
specimens of African fauna which he
hopes TO send back for the enrichment
of the Smithsonian institution. These
fortunate individuals were Maj. Ed

The Centenary Habit.

A writer In an English weekly. on
the recent tercentenary Of Milton. says
that he took the occasion to delFe into
the files Of the Gentleman's Magazine
for 1908 to see how the same poets
two hundredth birthday was cele-
brated. He found that not even the
name OF Milton occurred in the index
for that year The day had evidently
passed unnoticed. The centenary idea
seems 10 be a new one, and it is annu-
ally extending more widely. Some one
has said that these centenary celebra-
tons are The best when they are the
least needed. By them forgotten or
half-l emembered men, as well as the
most famous, are recalled for a sea
SON, their work is discussed. and their
life history is recounted. They are
newly alive again, so to speak, and we
realize them once more as being with

attention had been turned to Paradise
Lost through a newspaper centenary
article. why, Milton wasn't a prig at
all, and ! can understand his stuff. I'm
going TO read a canto every Sunday.
He's corker!" The year 1909 is a
year Of distinguished centenaries. Poe
in January; Mendelssohn-B artholdy,
Darwin and Lincoln in February-the
last two on the same day; Chopin and
Edward FtzGerald in March; Tenny-
son in August; and Gladstone in De-
cember-this is partial birthday list.
Literature, music. science and state
craft are all represented. The festi-
val. remarks the Youths Companion, is
for everybody who will join. If only
the ones in whose honor the celebra-
tons are held could be there, the party
would be complete.

piecina Out the Prayer.

OF curious prayers writer says: Il
have heard layman utter this petition
during the prayer: o. Lord. be thou
with us In our upsittings an our down.
risings'-a variant OF the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced Latin sem
tence into his prayer. and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-
ter Of an hour, but long before this pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this d.
lemma. he startled his hearers with the
words: And now, o Lord, i will re-
late unto thee a little anecdote!i"

That Cuba is making substantial ma
terial advance is evident from some
figures given out from a work which
the bureau Of insular affairs of the war
department is preparing. 1t appears
that the island In 1907 had a popula-
ton Of 2,o4s,sso, an increase Of sos
per cent since the last census. taken
under American supervision, In 1899
But the most notable gain is In Cuba's
foreign trade. The value of the i'm
ports into the island st the latest date
mentioned was 1905. 900, or 2s.s per
cent. more than In 1899, while the ex.
ports were $114,s12,oOo OF 131 per
cent. increase. Furthermore, the ex-
hibit shows how good friend is the
United States In trade matters. From
two-thirds to more than seven-eighths
OF the exports from Cuba each year
come to this country, which takes prac-
ucally all the sugar, fruits and min
erals and more than nine-tenths Of the
tobacco sold abroad by the Cubans.
This. with the reduced duty that f.
vors our neighbor. shows the readiness
with which the United States extends
the helping hand to the island repub-
lie.
