INCIDENT HUMOR.

Some funny things happened at
the meeting of the Board of Man
ayers of State Hospital No. 4 this
week. The three new Republican
members of the board were in evi.
dence and things moved along
smooth enough until il came to the
election of officers, OF course the
three Republican members had
caucussed aud consulted with the
local politicians and a partial slate
was made up-all except Superin-
tendent. The various applicants
for the several positions were in
evidence also, including four for
Superintendent-Dr. Topping of
Flat River, DR.. Keeney of DeSoto,
DR.. Vernon of Dexter aud DR.. Dav-
idson Of Poplar Bluff.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
partial slate had previously been
agreed upon. the numerous appli-
cants were graciously permitted to
appear before the board one at a
time and present their claims, in
order to let them down ensy and
dissipate the appearance that their
fate was already sealed. The slate
as far as it had been fixed was then
disposed of, and the disappointed
ones left to reflect on the uncer.

To Save Horses from Fire.

When horse Is released from his
stall during a fire. says technical
paper. he will not leave the stable, for
the stall is the only place in which he
believes himself to be safe. A new
patented device, which consists OF a
pipe running through the stall to the
outside of the stable. is designed TO
cure this. In case of fire a turn OF
handle brings a hose nozzle into posi-
ton and stream OF water pours over
the head and shoulders of the horse,
which drives him into the gangway,
from which It becomes a comparative
ly easy matter to lead him into the
street.

TRIBUTE TO JEFFERSON DAVIS.
His Birthday Celebrated by Thousand
at His Blrthplace-Part of Old
Davis Farm Converted Into
Memorial Park.

Fairview, Ky, June 3.-Fairview
to-day takes it's rightful place among
| the historic spots of this country;
nor is it an insignificant place, but
here that Jefferson Davis, great
statesman aud soldier, and the first
and only President of the Confeder.
ate States Of America, was born,
just l0l years ago. In honor OF his
birthday, although he has been In
his tomb for many years now,
thousands of people are gathered
to do honor to his memory and to
dedicate to the purpose for which II
has been purchased a portion of the
farm on which he was born and
which will be converted into Com
federate Memorial Park.
1t has only been few weeks since
notable gathering assembled near
Hodgenville and In an appropriate
manner dedicated the memorial that
raham Lincoln. Just this week an
even larger gathering assembled
there to witness the unwilling Of the
monument that has been erected to
the great man who was the oppos.
ing leader to Mr.. Davis in the awful
struggle that for four long, bloody
years threatened to rend this nation
asunder. 1t is the most convincing
argument that could be made that
bitterness aud sectional feeling re-
sulting from that awful internal
strife have passed away, aud that
the entire country is now uniting in
memOrialjzing both these illustriOus
sons Of Kentucky, and each side is
according to the other its need of
praise and commentator for duty,
as each saw it, well done, and for
valor and heroism displayed under
circumstances that tried mems souls
to the uttermOst.
No one will now deny that Mr..
Davis and Mr., Lincoln were two OF
the greatest men ever produced by
this country, or that each fulfilled
to his best ability his duty as he
saw 1t in those dark days.
The site purchased fer the park |
seventeen acres, and eX-
tends fran Pembroke street to the |
church yard of Bethel Baptist
Church, which stands on the identi-
cal spot formerly occupied by the
log cabin in which Mr.. Davis was
born. -Hopkinsville New Era.
THE site of this church was given
to the congregation by Mr.. Davis
and the house Of worship erected ON
ii is beautiful and imposing struc-
ture.

Boys, be- careful, now; the Gov
ernor has signed the bill passed by
the last session of the Legislature
prohibiting the sale Of cigarettes to
persons under eighteen years Of
age. But that isn't the kernel OF
the nut, the law makes it n pun
lshable otTense with $40 fine for
any boy over ten and under eigh-
teen years OF age to smoke clga-
retteS in any public road, street,
alley, park or other public place,
so when you feel like weakening
your brain and constitution by in.
dulging in cigarettes. you would
better HE yourselves TO the river
with II fishing rod or hide out in
the smoke house or some other
dark corner where the eagle eye of
an officer Of the law cannot pry
upon you; for go a smoke is a
little more expensive than most of
you can afford. We are not ad-
vising you To stop the cigarette
habit-though, honor bright, that
would be one of the best things
you ever did; we are only giving
you little warning, and leave the
reform matter to your own good
sense or bad sense, whichever You
have the most of.
