looking over the roads last week.
The main road is fine and dry but
little rough in some places where it
was wet and not graded up enough
last fall. Gust Lueck, the assistant

could to fix up the roads and had the
main road we'll drained on both sides.
There is one place in front of Fred

the ditch is not quite deep enough to
carry it off. This year, if possible,
we should like to see a couple of the
hills cut down.

conductor for the purpose Of learning
how the collision had been averted. To
my surprise, he had no knowledge of
the Old Tartar's being wild He con-
sidered me fit subject for an insane
asylum, and did not hesitate to tell me
SO. even began to doubt my own
sanity.
"a message of inquiry was forward
ed to Bartson, and the following reply
received:
"Hines was ordered to ditch the Old
Tartar. Did he do itY
mot one of us could offer any ex-
PLANTATION until suddenly the conductor
exclaimed:

"Such proved to be the case The
Old Tartar was found at the foot of
m embankment about a mile and
half east Of this station. Near by were
found several ties, most of them pretty
well smashed up.
You doubtless wonder how this ex-
traordinary thing happened 1t was
explained about year later by Pete
Scully, member of notorious gang
of outlaws who had infested this re-
gion. 1t seems that they had planned
to hold up the accommodation train.
They had lanterns, ct cetera, with
which to signal the train; but fearful
that the engineer would recognize them.
they placed several ties on the track,
SO that II he failed to heed the signal
his train would be derailed.
"They had just finished operations
when the Old Tartar appeared on the
scene. She knocked the ties a-f1ying,
but they did their work, for she Jumped
the track and rolled down the embank-
ment. Fifteen minutes later the ac-
commodation passed that very spot I'M
molested. The gang had decided that
under the circumstances it would be
best not to hold up train.
"That was the Old Tartar's last run.
And now, stranger, that you have heard
the story, want you to answer the
question: Was 1t miracle?"-Waver-

fict over the outcome Of u hotly-con-
tested election between William Goebel,
Democrat. and Wi,lihm S. Taylor, Re
publican. Taylor was elected by many
thousands. Goebel contested the cleo
ton vigorously. An appeal to Demo-
cratic election board proved unavaillng.
AS last resort, Goebel moved to have
the Legislature unseat Taylor and his
colleagues. During the ensuing excite
ment, while hundreds of mountain men
were In Frankfort, Goebel was shot
The next day, by direction Of the Legis-
lature, William Goebel on his death
bed was sworn In as Governor and ].
Z. w. Beckham took the oath as Lieu
tenant Governor. Then during the In
vestgation of the murder that followed
w. s. Taylor, Charles Finley, his Sec.
rotary of State, and the rest of his ac-
tive partisans were obliged to flee.
Caleb Powers was arrested In con-
nection with the crime. and was four
times convicted for the murder. Int
Just as often the Judgment was re-
versed, till he was finally pardoned
last year by the Governor.
Taylor found an asylum In Indiana
since his flight. One after another of
the Indiana Governors have refused to
give him up, and he has been able to
defy his enemies in Kentucky. Mean
while the Democratic majority In Ken
lucky chose its own Governor, and Mr.,
Beckham, who was the candidate for
Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with
William Goebel, was first chosen by the
Legislature, and afterward elected by
the people chief magistrate.
Beside the pardons issued to lay

HOLDING COURT UNDER EDWARD
Function Far Les. Ceremonial Than
In Queen Victorian Time.

Function Far Less Ceremonial Than
In Queen yictoria's Time.
A word about the court, as there are
to be several during May and June. 1t
is in way far less ceremonial than in
the days Of the late Queen Victoria,
and, being held at night, 1t assumes the
guise of royal reception. There ID
music, and after the presentation there
is a supper-unfortunately, of the
buffet variety. Men now attend and
have view Of their women folk" as
we say in this country, making their
courtesies to royalty. After the pre-
sensations the men may join the women
and escort them around the ballroom,
listen to the music and see that they
are served with refreshments, says
Vogue.
Women wear the same long trains,
but they do not have to back out as
they used to. They advance sideways
to the throne, curtsey to the king and
queen, retreat few steps sideways
from her majesty, catch their train
from the attendants and go out frank.
~ turning their backs on the throne !;
and another lady has absorbed the at
tentlon Of the king before the first
has really retired from the presence.
King Edward wants the ceremonial
through rapidly, and 1t is done in thor
ough twentieth century style. Men can
get several points Of vantage in the
side corridors. From there they can
see their ladies enter the presence, and
can meet them as they come out. And
by the way. "klssing hands" only ap-
plies to Englishmen or subjects on an
appointment, generally to diplomatic
cabinet or political post.

SOME NEW FRIENDS.

Would you like to make some new
friends, and meet some pleasant mer-
ry folks?.
Hunt up some bits OF cotton Bat.
ting, pieces of horse hair, string and
tow, and little strips Of cloth. Fast
en- these to bushes and limbs of trees,
fence posts and any other handy
place. Then wait and see what will
appear.
AS soon as the snow melts away,
on the very first warm days of spring,
you will see some little feathered
folks come hurrying back from the
South. And the very first thing these
wise little creature think about is
home for themselves and nest
for the new babies that always come
to them in springtime. Their sharp
eyes can peer into every nook and
corner, and you may be sure that
your little offerings will be seen.
You will be surprised to find how
early they begin their building, what
merry time they seem to have and
how many kinds of nests they make.
Such strange taste some OF them
have! The kingbird and the golden
robin, for example, will want all your
cotton battings. and will fight off all
the other birds that have the same
fancy. The chipping sparrows will
carry off every horse hair and never
seem to have enough. The other birds
have, one and all, their own choice
of building material, and know just
where their nest must be and all they
ask is to be let alone.
Do not fail to provide birdhouse
also, for some of the more helpless
ones. Take a starch box, cut hole
in one end for door and nail the
cover on firmly. Set 1t in well pro-
tected crotch Of some old. knotted ap-
ple-tree, and you will see how the
birds fight for it. They konw what
you mean-they understand that you
are offering them home. Mr.. and
Mrs. House Wren will hurry into it,
/! and the bluebirds or tree swallows
: will run race for its shelter.
In few weeks your building ma
terial will have vanished, but all sum-
mer long the birds will sing pretty
songs, will wake you in the morn
ing, Or serenade you at sunset and
thank you for your kindness.-Phila-
delphia Record.

THE BOY MARcoNI.

It is somewhat curious fact, per-
taps, that as boy Mr.. Mareoni, the
value of whose system of wireless
telegraphy has been so strikingly DEM
onstrated by the saving of the pas
sengers of the Inflated Republic. show
ed little signs Of cleverness. One Of
his teachers, in fact. once said to
him that he could never learn any
thing by heart. Nevertheless. he was
only 81 when he began to startle the
world with his demonstrations OF
wireless telegraphy. In spite of his
fame, Marconi is one of the most
unassuming of men, and hates de
monstrations. He was once recosniz-
ed while in Rome. Immediately a
cheering crowd assembled Marconi
bolted into what ne thought was an
empty carriage. But it contained a
lady who was too frightened to expost-
ulate. The inventor quickly made his
apologies, and the lady allowed him
to remain until they were free of the
crowd.-Tit-Bits.

Curls in the hedgerow his mimic horn,
And the primrose hourly edges aside
The leafy driftage of wintertide;
Far In the vale, where the woods are still,
Stands delicate daffodil;
Hasting brooks in the prime of the year
Murmur merrily-April's here,
With gentle rains and westerly vanes,
Buttercup buds and daisy chains.
Between moist meadow and sunlit sky
The sad-voiced plover is circling high;
Sudden and loud through larch and Ar
Rings the laugh of the woodpecker;
And the wagtail Hirts his plumage pied
In snatches of flight by the waterside;
Garden voices that late were dumb
Whistle and warble-a time will come
For shade of leaves and pillage OF
sheaves
And swallows a-twitter In last years

The happy April of other days,

Trips afield in the meadow green;
