contains the following complimentary
notice of Col. Sam Moseley, who is
postmaster of Hyde Park, Mass, and
who visits Winchester often. He is a
nephew of Judge w. NJ. Beckner and
Miss Elsie Brown who is now visiting

"The postmaster of this interesting
wide-awake town is Col. Sam Nose

of this town under Presidents Har-
rison, Mckinley and Roosevelt and
he has allowed it to leak out that he
Is willing to serve eight years more
under William Howard Taft. Col
Moseley is also the editor and pro-
prietor of the Hyde Park Gazette,
the local paper, and he is one of the
solid men of the town. He takes pride
in serving the town as its postmaster
and everybody likes him so well that
nobody would think of being can
didate against him for the place.
Beside the main postoffice Hyde
Park has three substances. Over all
floats old glory night and day of the
500 days of the year. Postmaster
Moseley pays for these flags out of
his own pocket, and he delights in do
ing it. The stations are all equipped
with modern postoffice pharaphernalia
and he has force of % carriers and
clerks assisting him in collecting and
delivering the mail to his towns peo-
pie. In the private Office of the post
master hangs a picture of "My Old
Kentucky Home" as Col Moseley en-
dearingly calls it, and no Hyde Parker
would think of going to Kentucky and
not look up Postmaster Moseley's an
cestral home in Newport, KY, just
across the Ohio river from Cincinnati
Col. Moseley's father, by the way
knew President Taft's father well
and when President Taft was in Bos-
ION year ago he and Col Moseley
talked over old times in Cincinnati"

Arson Great PLAYER.

The evanescence Of base ball fame
was exempliied here during the week
in the games played with the Reds
by Anson's Chicago Colts In his day
Arson was the greatest base ball
leader in the country. 1t was said
of him that he could take nine cigar
store Indians and make them play
ball. Banking on this fame of the
days gone by, Arson is plotting a
bunch of youngsters around the
country, playing exhibition games,
trading largely upon his name to
draw audiences, but at the same time
giving quite nifty exhibition of the
National game. But the scheme
doesn't seem to appeal to the gener-
al base ball public with them it seems
to be case of, at doesn't matter

out to see the first game. OF course,
the cold weather held down the at

Opening Game of Season.

Just how much chance there is for
the Reds to beat out the Pittsburgs
this season will be given some slight
argument in the opening series of the
season between the locals and the
Pirates. Reports from Hot Springs,
where Clarke's men have been train
ing, do not tip off any particularly
classy additions to the Pirate squad.
1t looks as if Manager Clarke would
have to depend upon the same tai
ent he had last season to win him a
position in the race, and this fact
makes the Reds prospects look
brighter. OF all the National League
teams that have been working in the
South this spring, the Reds except
ed, New York appears to have made

SIXTY RURAL ROUTE
PATRONS CUT OFF
Failure of Fiscal Court of Mont
gOmery to Provide Bridge
the Cause. &

Mt. STERLING, KY, April g.
Failure of the Montgomery County
Fiscal Court to provide a bridge at
the crossing of the Rogers Mill pike,
caused the Postoffice Department at
Washington to order part of the rural
route No. 3 to be discontinued and
hereafter about go patrons who have
been used to getting their daily mail
will not have that luxury. The route
will now go to Judy, thence to Bunk
er's Hill, thence to Gidenew and re-
turn to this city. The Fiscal Court
erected a bridge over the creek near
Rogers Mill, but not at the crossing
and as they could not obtain land for
approaches the structure now stands
there absolutely worthless to the
citizens of the neighborhood and the
county in general. There is consid-
cradle kicking over the matter.
Telephone Manager Resigns.
Mr.. Dillon Owen who has been
manager of the Old Kentucky Tele-
phone Company in this city for sew

hardly influence the Latonia manage

Football Rules.
The recent tinkering with the foot
ball rules will not hurt any one much.
The reduction of from to 3 points
for a field goal seems to be a sane
improvement. as it doesn't seem reas-

ward for one of these chance plays
as there is for the hard work of car
rying the ball down the field for a
Touchdown. The penalty against

a good move in that it does away
with the practise of having opposing
players penalized for alleged off-side
plays that are due to this delayed
passing.

into sin. but, when led on to sin. they may go on. and on. and on in it. Often
 it is the consciousness that we may lead others into sin that impels us to do the right. Surely the thought that
 we may lead others into sin ought to make us walk softly. think carefully, act wisely, and be earnest in all our lives.
 How may We overcome temptation?
 This is the practical part of it ali. 'To be foreWarned, is to be forearmed' The secret of the fact that there is so much sin all about us is that we are ignorant of the power of temptation. the power of evil in our lives. It is true that there would be no drunkards if men would not take the first glass. It is as true in reference to other experi- ences. If we realized how a certain temptation would lead us astray. I am sure We would be more careful about it. The story of Achan illustrates the way sin comes into our lives. he saw among the forbidden spells of the city of Jericho the beautiful garments. the silver. and the gold: he desired them; and then he took them. There was no harm in seeing them, no harm in want ing things of that kind. but much harm in the taking of them We should be forowarned, and then we will be better able to resist the temp tations that come.
 Then, we should keep away from temptation as far as we can. mingle as little as possible with the things that have temDtation in them. Lead us not into temptation If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off Robert F.. Speer, sitting at a great banquet where were gathered the highest men of the country, expressed to one of the his surprise that only one of the men at the table was drinking |. His companion replied: We are living at too high a tension: it is time when everything depends on the ac- tion of a single moment and so we are not likely to take any chances Don't walk in the dark places; get out into the light: keep as, far from tempta- ton as possible.
 Tt requires courage to resist temp tation. Christian young man who had spent some time in the army, said that it took more courage to l1neel down before his God and offer up his daily prayers in the presence of thirty scoffing men than to face the can

 "The only way in which we can pos sibly be successful in overcoming temptation is to put our hands in the hands of Jesus Christ. If we do we are safe; if we do not, we are not safe.

Comprehensive Crime Committed Un- der Cover of a Soda Water Joint.

RecardO Moreno was arrested yes terday by Constable Murphy for a de- fiance of the national. territorial. coun- tv and municipal governments. in which he committed at least six crimes in one. Moreno, for a long time, had been conducting what was supposed to be a harmless soda water joint, and in that occupation he was supposed to be lending aid and moral support to the temperance movement.
 His stand has been a sort of nova ble festival, though it has not wan dered far from Fourth and Jackson streets. For some time the authori- ties have suspected him Of carrying a side line, consisting of something harder than soda, pop or coca cola, but that was all suspicion until yes terday morning, when the officer, from a point of vantage, saw him hand out a bottle of wine. He nailed him on the spot.
