and discussions on subjects connect
ed with the work of the Union, the
interesting steropticon lecture and
novel feature of the convention was
the excursion to Robes Mountain
where In a place rare in natural beau
ty and rich In historical associations
connected with the discovery and
early settlement OF Kentucky, the an
nual business meeting was held.
The reports from the various asso-
Citations showed that the year had
been one OF progress but revealed the
need of greater activity and closer
organization. The general note of
the convention which was pronounced
one OF the very best In the history
OF the Union was extension OF the
work. A plan was adopted which pro-
vides for each county in the
Union a superintendent whose duty
It shall be 10 stimulate the existing
societies to greater activity. 10 revive
the dead societies, TO establish new
ones and 20 extend the work until

counties of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia.
The work of the association is one
for the welfare OF the mountains and
its prospects are bright The Endeavor

70 HEAD OFF NIGHT RIDERS

Frankfort, Oct. 3-Governor Wilson
said today that if any man who kills
a night rider wants an executive par
don for that act, he can have it. 1t
is abelieved here that the attitude of
tho Governor on the tobacco pool may
cause a failure of that project.
He said:
you will remember that l have
made public addresses to our people
asking them to defend their homes
and assured them that if they did
defend their homes and were careful
not to make mistake and kill any
innocent person, but simply necessary
defense of their lives, liberty and pro-
perty, they would not need any lawyer.
IL have never withdrawn that procla'
nation. for 1t is my most serious
character and 1t is my set purpose to
keep the faith under the proclamation
"If mems interest in business plar
to form a combination to raise the
price on their crops which is entirely
proper and wise, If lawfully carried
on, is so great that they will form a
pool that falls into lawlessness, why
should not self-respecting free Kentuc
kians form a liberty or freedom pool,
thousand times more serious and
earnest than any pool for money pro-
fft and Univ ch0uld thau NOT fiOht
for their liberties when the law is be-
hind them and the State government
is with them?"
Governor Wilson leaves for Boston
tomorrow. He will not be at home TO
see the effect of his statement but
he advises that bloodshed is likely to
be revived that will rival the old and
historical days gone by.

NARROW GAP MEETING

Much interest is being shown in
the series of meetings being conduct

claimed. The meetings will continue
for a few nights longer as the inter-
est is increasing and many people are
being converted.

A Backward" party was given by
Miss Eva Conklin last week in honor
Of the G. G. G. club, and from reports
the young ladies had a perfectly love-
ly time. The young ladies entered
the beautiful Conklin home back
ward up the the back stairs, shook
hands backward, embraced backward,
and discussed q delicious lunch back
ward by starting with the finger
bowl followed by desert and so on up
the menu card. The reception COM
mittee stood with their backs to the
guests as they backed out and went
home backward, and the ladies are
even backward about reporting the
entire program, and the society edi-
tor is backward about being forward
in the matter so this UNIQUE society
event will pass down the corridor Of
time with a backward step.

The New President and the OF

The New President and the Old
George Fitch, the new humorist,
writes on Taft in the March American
Magazine. Following is a part of his
comparison of Taft and Roosevelt:
"a comparison ofthe incoming with
the outgoing president is interesting.
They are as like each other as a trade
wind and a Kansas tornado. Taft I'M
like Roosevelt, Is chemically and not
sporadically good natured. His smile
does not have the brilliance of the
present executive because his teeth do
not reflect so much sunlight.
Taft is a bigger man than Roose-
velt and is not so active. Either and
or because is the proper word there,
no one knows which. Taft does not
chop trees, wade rivers, play tennis,
ride bareback, punch pugilists, launch
battleships, choke mountain lions or
abuse traction engines. He merely
plays golf and hunts a little. He was
made to be a large man and realizes it.
Roosevelt still has strong suspicious
to make him fat.
"In temperament Taft is a steam
heater and Roosevelt is a prairie fire;
In conversation, a college professor be-
side a d. A. r. conversation; in energy
a locomotive beside a volcano; in good
nature May compared with April.
Both make enemies in plenty but Taft
refuses to walk on a man while he is
down, while Roosevelt refuses to get
off him until he is sure he can't get
up. Both are as fond Of work as a
kitten is of milk. Both go on the
theory that a large family, well
brought up, is better to leave a nation
than great riches. Both are as afraid
of criticism as a Bengal tiger Is Of a
crippled sheep.
"As for results, both seem to acquire
practically the same brand. Both of
them raise Hades but with entirely
different seed. Roosevelt talks dyna-
mite, sulphur, perditions, birthstone,
shot guns and bowie knives, while
Taft talks axle grease, ball bearings
and lu~bricating oil. Taft calls a spade
an e%xcavator while Roosevelt calls it
an absolute, uncontrovertible, delibe-
rate and atrocious spade. Summing
all up, they are both the same kind of
motor but Roosevelt runs with his
muller cut out"

Fishing Out The Pennies.

81 am naturally of a humane dis
position" said a meek and lowly
Mail Carrier the other morning, "but
1 was mean enough to wish-wish,
that some Of my patrons who put pen
MES In the box on such a day and ex-
pected me to fish them out with fin
gers frozen to a fragile might had my
job for the day.
"If rural patrons realized how great
an a accommodation it Is to carriers
for them to buy stamps and atfix them
in their letters before placing them
in the box, especially in zero weather.
l am SURF they would do SO gladly.
The trouble is that they do not think
much about it, SO keep on doing it,
which, OF course, they have a perfect
right to do. Recently after l had
! nursed my fingers back to conscious
ness, 1 decided to contribute a poetic
protest for the benefit Of rural pat
rons and have it printed. Here it is;
I'm Uncle Sans most favored pet,
Pm hearty and Pm hale,
I've nothing in this world to do
But glide round with the mail;
But n thing almost breaks my heart
And nervous system shocks,
It's the everlasting pennies.
That Pm fishing out the box.
I carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such,
And I'd like to sell a few:
'Twould please me very much.
But a man can't sell unless you buy,
No matter how he talks,
So l have to keep on diving
For the pennies In the box.
It's all right in the springtime,
- Or when summer breeZeS blow;
But a different proposition
When it's thirty two below;
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
And now quite confidentially,
I'll tell you something more:
A rural carrier In u town
Forgot himself and sWore:
Says he, I can stand the snow drifts,
l can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measly pennies
In the blasted measly box.
When the roll is called up yonder,
And we shall gather there
They wouldn't let a mail man in
II they knew he'd learned to swear.
II you want st. Peter to open the gate
When your rural carriers knock,
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
o. putting pennies in the box.

Canton Lost and Won.

Our high school boys and girls bas-
ket ball teams went away last Friday
to play the Vermillion and Yankton
teams. The girls lost at Vermillion
and won In Yankton. The Vermil-
lion game was contested inch by inch
and closed with a tie of S to s. In
the final windup Vermillion won by 2
points. Miss Edna Lee. one Of the
best In the team, was sick and not
able to do her usual splendid work,
which accounts for the close game.
The Canton boys lost to Vermillion
by q score OF 25 to 4, and the boys
team was short one Of it's best all
round players,
On Saturday evening the Canton
teams played at Yankton. and the
boys lost again but made a better
showing than at Vermillion. The
score was Yankton q, Canton II.
At Yankton, however, the girls
made up for their defeat at Vermil-
lion by closing the game with a score
of "a for Canton to S for Yankton.
In the three games played by the
Vermillion girls and Canton girls,
Canton leads with 60 points to Yer.
millions 33.
Vermillion beat Sioux Falls 13 to 6,
Yankton ID to 10, Canton Z to S, CIV
ing Vermillion 80 points.
Canton beat Sioux Falls 16 to 10,
Vermillion ct Canton II to S. Yank-
ton 80 % S, giving Canton SO points.
According to this score the Canton
girls are far ahead In the champion
ship race. and we understand the
Canton girls are going to play Yer
million another game.
II the Canton boys had played the
way they did when they scooped
Sioux Falls last week, they would
have come home with flying banners.
Tho Canton girls have played .
good, steady game al round at home
or abroad while the boys can have
the supreme satisfaction Of skinninr

played In the state.
