SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Following is a letter to a Paducah
woman from a party of IllinoisaHs
who made the round trip on the
steamer Clyde to Waterloo, Ala, re-
turning Mondays:
Paducah, KY, Aug. 1, 1903.
Mrs. Harry S. johnson, Paducah, Ky.
NY Dear Mrs Johnson: In con-
vention assembled on the steamer
Clyde we. the lady passengers, hereby
certify that the bearer, one Mr.. John
son, known as a single man, nephew
of the lady addressed, has conducted
himself in a very commemorate man
ner for one of such a juvenile age.
We presume, too, that this is his first
trip away from your kind and help
full protection and think it best that
We put you next" to some of the
most noticeable idiosyncrasies incl
dent upon this journey, First and
most prominent of these Is his dis
tressing habit of throwing his eyes
upward, in the meantime rapidly
blinking his eyelids, thus producing
the effect commonly known as goo
goo eyes" Furthermore this habit
is more easily discerned when II so
happens that Miss L. V. p, or well,
any of the most interesting and
pretty girls pass near by. Auntie,
dear, we do hope that you will con-
slider this fault in a lenient mood
since he is so young and this is his
first offense.
When you administer to the soles
of his pedal extremities, | pray you.
let your heart rule your head and
gentleness prevail in this act, since
those large blisters were caused
merely by the slight offense of trip
ping the light fantastic each night,
at least a score OF times with each
pretty damsel present.
| know that when he left your
kind and motherly arms you expected
him to return with rejuvenated
strength and health, whose signs
would be visible In the rudy COM
plexion, bright eyes and increased In
tellectual ability. But, dearest, re-
member that when a mere boy re-
mains up until the chimes ring out
the hour of a. m. eating water
melon on the upper deck, canteloupes
on the lower deck and sandwiches
and mint julep in the cabin that the
eyes are likely to become dull and
sunken, the cheeks cadaverous, trans
fering the once rosy hue to that most
prominent part commonly known as
his proboscis.
There are some other things we
could mention, such az sitting In dark
corners for hours with any lady who
would be so indiscreet as to trust
herself to his youthful care. But be-
cause Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Mccall
are in the party and ask us for the
sake of the great order to which you
all belong to shield him for your
sake. They, too, desire that their
names be not added TO the list OF
undersigned.

A well-known Boston paper,
commenting on the establish
ment Of a department of mines.
has the following to says
Boston, as one of the worlds
greatest centers for the mining
industry, is interested in the
plan to create a federal depart
ment of mines. There is no OPP
position to the plan except on
the part Of a cabal Of schemers
who long have made it their
business to get hold of good
mining claims from men driven
into q tight financial place. A
case in point was the breaking
Of a bank in New England moi
many years ago as part Of a clev'
erly manipulated trick to gel
control Of a gold mine in the
west. This scheme cost only
$50, 900, while in less than 9
year the cabal cleared $500, 600.
At present the mine is making
net profits Of 81, 900 a day. Had
amining department been in ex-
istence no such trick could have
been played. Our geological
survey has done great things,
but has never had half enough
money for the work it essayeC
to do, and has for years beer
obliged to solicit reports and in
formation from leading men il

about four miles distant, chang

river for a distance of about
1000 feet. A dam will be con-
structed and a three-track road
bed graded. The Southern Pa
cific is paying one-half the ex-
pense of the improvement, and
it is said that it intends to build
a new track from Stone House to
Argenta, which will shorten the
line some four or five miles, and
will leave Battlemountain about
the same distance off to one side.

CASE OF oNs CHUNG LUNG.

We had just been reading
about the views of congress re-
garding the United State secret
service and the purposes for
which government money had
been squandered in this depart
ment when we entered one Of
our most popular restaurants
some days ago.
Seated opposite us were two
strangers. The first appeared to
be an American. From the way
he handled his knife and fork it
was apparent that Uncle Sam
was paying for his victuals. The
other had that copper-colored
tint and that suggestive obliquity
Of optic which easily revealed his
Celestial origin. Later in the
day we learned that both, one in
capacity Of United States mar
shall. and the other as interpret
er, had been sent here from a
distant city at government ex-
pense to prove. if possible, that
Ong Chung Lung is but a common
laborsr. and prohibited by law
from bringing to this country
his minor son. Ong Chung Lung,
who, by the way, is none other
than our Charley, can talk En-
glish fully as effectively as the
interpreter. but that didn't stop
the interpreters salary.
Apropos Of that high-cost sus-
picion that our Charley is but 9
common laborer, we remember
an incident Of the early days OF
Phoebe, In the winter Of 1877-e
there came a terrible snow-storE..
For two weeks no stage could
come in from either Eureka Of
Salt Lake. Captain Day was
running his famous property a
Jack Rabbit. Payday arrived,
but the money expected from
San Francisco for the payroll
did not.
In the early days the Chinese
colony here was large, at times
numbering over q thousand. Onl

LEcTFuL GIRL TO TIME.
BY Working on Her Curiosity Swain
Famed the Cooling Embers Of
Love That Was Never to
Fade Away.

They had made their VOWS of a su-
perlatively transcendental affection
and love which they we're cocksure
had existed from the beginning Of
things, and which, according to their
charts, would endure long after noun
tains had been crumbled by the ruth
less hand of time.
Then, when her visit in his town
was over, she returned to her distant
home. All, yes, she had home to
return to.
He shaved away at the once for her
sake.
The months went by, as months
will.
Then her letters stopped. In fact,
they didn't start For she had ceased
to write any more. Or II she had.
she sent them somewhere else. He
did not get them.
For three weeks he yearned for the
daily billy dukes which came not.
He felt that II he could get just one
more word from her he would have
the courage to journey to her and
win back the eternal affection that
had slipped a cog and permitted the
bulletins to cease.
One day he thought and thought
and revolved things in his head, and
finally all Of sudden an idea rolled

the envelope into the box marked

He looked up the mail trains and
figured it out that she would get hi

ger at about ten o'clock the following
morning.
The next morning at 1884 he wal

Governments, the world over, are
coming to realize that 1t Is their duty
to look after school children's teeth.
The crushing power OF false teeth is
only from one-nfth to half that Of
natural ones, and the mouth filled
with false teeth cannot be quite
healthy. But even by taking hold of
the teeth in childhood It is dificult
to make them last lifetime. Out Of
100000 children S6 per cent are found
to have diseased teeth. This is the
proportion in America, Germany, Eng
land and Russia. OF 100 children OF
IL years. only IL have teeth that need
40 attention.

"Guarnerius insisted that they were

Chung Lung was always a captain
of industry among his country
men, and at that time was doing
his main business at Jack Rabbit,
where he made his own head
quarters.
Tee situation worried Captain
Day, and he went to his neigh
Dor, Ong, for consultation. In
fact, Ong was expecting to re-
ceive quite a sum himself when
payday came off. The talk was
something as follows: Charlie,
l am in trouble. Heap snow.
No money to pay men. No stage
come. Say, Charlie, you got any
money ?" "Oh, alittle," "How
much 2" Perhaps few thous-
and dollars. Charlie, can you
let me have some to pay my
men 7" ''All right, captain, how
much you want ? The men all
got their money next day.
No. Ong Chung Lung is not 8
common laborer, and to send men
here to learn that fact and pull
the money out of the United
States treasury to pay them is
grand larceny. Congress has
our permission to allow seven
eighths of that secret service
gang of suckers and grafters Il
hunt honest jobs.
