Small Gardens.

Potatoes for winter use are
usually omitted from small gar
dens because they are a staple
product. while most other vege-
tables are a luxury and their
value is largely dependent upon
their freshness.
The large growing vegetables
which require wide planting are
corn, pole-beans, and vines. These
give much smaller returns from
the space occupied than the small
vegetables.
The small vegetables are beets.
carrots, lettuce, onions, radishes,
spinach, tomatoes, etc. If you
fill a small garden with these the
yield will be proportionately lar

It is time that men cease the
cry of persecution" as a de-
Tense to a charge of having vio-
lated the law: if a person indict-
ed be guilty, the enforcement Of
the law is no persecution, and if
he be innocent, fair trial on
the evidence will vindicate him,
and also the law which is for the
protection of the innocent as
well as the punishment of the
guilty.
In these cases, as in all others
brought before him, Judge Thur
man has shown himself to be
firm, uncompromising, and i'm
partial in enforcing the law as it
is written, and as it has been
construed by the court of appeals,
with no motive other than to
perform his duty as he sees it,
undeterred by threats, clamor,
or any consideration of persons.
For this purpose he was elected,
and not to bend or twist the law
to suit the interests or feelings
of any man or set of men.
1t is to be hoped that all will
recognize the plain fact that the
good citizen" is he who seeks
to uphold the law, so long as it is
on the statute book, rather than
he who claims a privilege of vio-
lating law because it does not
meet his approval or may con-
fiict with his personal interests.

A Sad Death.

Mrs. Hettie Wells. of near
Sewelton, Russell county, KY,
was suddenly called to her heav-
emily home on the night of Feb
ruary 26, 1909.
While sitting on the hearth by
the fire all alone, reading, it is
supposed that she dosed off to
sleep and her clothing catching
fire and being all ablaze when
she awOke, frightening her so
she failed to extinguish the
flames. Mr.. Luther Mckinley
hearing her cries, came to her
rescue finding her out in the
yard lying on the ground with
her clothing all burning off ex-
cepting a small band around the
waist and her stockings.
By the aid of Mr.. Mckinley
and others who had reached the
scene, Hettie walked to the door
and then sank down. They car
ried her in and laying her on the
bed she told them she was going
to God, for them all to meet her
in Heaven.
She was 81 years old and a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. c..
Holt. She leaves a husband and
two small children, a father,
mother, brothers, and sisters to
mourn her sad fate.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. j. R. Order in

After which her mortal remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery
at Owensby, KY.
Call not back the dear departed,
\ Anchored safe where storms are O. r
On the border land we lost her,
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes.
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our missing loved one

Good Enough for Anyone.

The Ten Business Command
ments, as outl ned by the Inter
state Sand Company, Cleveland.
1. Thou shalt not wait for
something to turn up, but shalt
pull off thy coat, and go to work
that thou mayest prosper in thy
affairs and make the word ''fail-
ure" spell Success.
2 Thou shalt not be content
to go about thy business looking
like a bum, for thou shouldest
know that thy personal appear
ance is better than a letter of
recommendation.
3 Thou shalt not try to make
excuses nor shalt thou say to
those who chide thee II didn't
think"
A Thou shalt not wait to be
told when thou shalt do. nor
in what manner thou shalt do it.
for thus may thy days be long
in the Job which fortune hath
given thee.
5 Thou shalt not fail to main
tain thine own integrity, nor
shalt thou be guilty of anything
that will lessen thy good respect
for myself.
6 Thou shalt not covet the
other fellows job, nor his salary,
nor his position which he hath
gaindd by his own hard labor.
Z Thou shalt not fail to live
within thy income, nor shalt
thou contract any debt when
thou canst not see thy way clear
to fay them.
8 Thou shalt not fail to blow
thine own horn, for he who is
afraid to blow his own horn at
the pr oper occasion, fndeth no
body standing ready to blow it
for him.
9 Thou shalt not hesitate to
say NO. when thou meanest
mo, nor shalt thou fail to re-
member that there are occasions
when it is unsafe to bind myself
to haSty judgment.
10 Thou shalt give every man
a square deal. This is the last
and great commandment, a n d
there is no other like unto it.
Upon this commandment depend
eth all the law and profits of the
business world.

Appellate Courts Decision.

N hOUeTI cases, vi appear 1IOIll
the Marion circuit court, was re-
ceived the first of the week.
These two cases are sent back
for another trial, but Judge
Thurman was in error in holding
the affidavit filed by Mr.. Wathen
insufficient to authorize his re-
firing from the bench and turn
ing over to a special judge the
duty of presiding at the trial.
A regularly elected, commits
stoned and sworn judge has a
most important duty imposed
upon him: he must preside in the
trial of all cases in which he is
not legally disqualified, however
much he might like, in particular
cases, to evade the performance
of a disagreeab1e duty.
When an affidavit is filed, and
motion made for a special judge,
he alone must pass upon the
legal sufficiency of the affidavit.
His inclination, on one side, will
urge him to vacate> the bench
and escape the responsibility,
while the obligation of his oath,
on the other side, demands that
he disregard his inclination, and
try the csae, if LEGAL cause to
the contrary has not been shown.
A party can make any charges
he may desire against the judge
in such an affidavit, knowing
that the lips of the Judge are
sealed, and that he can not
either demand evidence of the
truth of the charges, or offer
proof of their falsity: according
to the law as laid down by the
court of appeals every statement
in such an affidavit, whether true
or false must be taken as true
for the purpose of determining
the duty of the presiding judge.
These cases were reversed on
the ground that, Judge Thurman
though proved his impartiality
by correctly applying the law on
the trial, his refusal to vacate
the bench was, of itself an
error.
The court, in discussing the
evidence which was taken down
in short hand and copied YER
batim for the appeal, makes it
clear that if the defendants, or
their agents, sold the barrel of
whiskey to Mr.. Lee with the
knowledge and intention that it
was to be. divided on their pre-
misses between the contributing
members of "the club" or with
the intention that any one of
their agents or employees should
assist in the distribution, they
are guilty of a violation of the
statue, and just as fully liable to
the penalties declared as if they
were men without wealth, infu-
ence, or high social standing.
To the layman, it would ap-
pear that the defendants are, to
use a slang expression, ''up
against it, !" for the court of ap-
peals has said in substance that
the judgment of conviction was
right, b ut should have been
rendered by another Judge.
1t is a mistake for any one to
suppose that there is a different
rule of conduct for the wealthy
and powerful, from that to be
applied to the humblest citizen.
