DOWN IN THE "PENNYRiLE."
Where George Fortune, 81 Years Old,
Met His Two Aged Sisters.

Down in 'the Green River region"
in the godly town Of Glasgow, In
Barren county, Kyp
Auld Ayr, whom ne'er a town sur
passes
For honest men and bonnie lasses-
Down in Barren, the very golden
cream Of all the "pennyrile," where.
a native will tell you, the skies are
the serenest, the waters the crystal
ist, the air the balmiest, the soil the
richest, the meadows groaning under
foliage, the pastures all that poetry
and romance could imagine, the or
chards laden with fruits, the forests
copious with mast, the fields as or
Goshen q fat year, and there corr,
wine and oil. milk and honey are In
most exurberant abundance-that

a dry town and dry county-down
in Barren county, God bless her,
says a Washington Post writer, there
met the other day in sweet COM
munion, surrounded by troops OF
friends, old and young. a brother
nearly "a, George Fortune his name,
and two sisters, one just 80 that day
and the other past 8S.
What history Is theirs! George
Fortune was q noted man In tho
Kentucky Of 1S49. OF excellent line
age, he was blessed with tempera-
ment like this:
Here's a smile for those who love
me
And a sigh for those who hate.
He was, and is, as generous as q
Prince Of the old school; and what
is important, his mind Is full Of Wig
or and linked to a heart that takes
In all mankind in its sympathies. 1t
is when with youth that he Is best,
because that heart can never grow
old, and that mind has an elasticity
1t will not surrender except at the
summons of the grim reaper that
lays the Kings scepter beside the
shepherds crook. His race has been
long and soon 1t will end, and he
will leave behind few, II any, who
were Of that Kentucky that revered
Clay, admired Crittenden and loved
Breckinridge.
Barren county Is the queen Of the
"Pennyrile," and there on the waters
of Blue Spring creek Is q citizen un-
surpassed the world round. But 1t Is
not the "old Barn." 1t is new re-
gime come to remind US that the
Kentucky Of 1909 Is no more the
Kentucky of 1859 than the England
of Edward VII Is the England OF
Henry VII.
What remorseless, inexorable and
insatiate monsters are Time and his
child, Change!

In utter silence he seized Trent, as a

Within stood Paulette and the gem :

Of blows and the sound Of some solid
substance rolling over and over, thump-

stair. Then the door opened again,
and Arthur appeared. a little flushed,
but placid, holding the cane broken In
his hand. He took a turn or two
across the room, and finally stopped
before Paulette. His face grew soft and
luminous.
"Paulette," he asked, in a voice of
unutterable tenderness, do you love

She dropped her trembling hands In
his. She seemed hardly able to believe
her own senses.

Megrim, who all this while had been
waiting at the foot Of the stair, in fear
and trembling, was called accordingly,
and closely questioned by each OF the
three. She appeared greatly terrified
and confused.
"Ah!" she groaned, 'he came here

FER GREAT ECONOMIC LOSS.
NEW JERSEY is HANDICAPPED
Sections In that State Adapted TO
Dairy Farming Seriously Re-
tarded by Mosquitoes.

Washington, Mar. 24.-That there Is
great economic loss to the people OF
the United States through insects that
carry diseases is shown by Dr. l.. o.
Howard, chief of the bureau of en-
tomology. in pamphlet just issued by
the department Of agriculture. He de-
clares, for instance, that the develop
ment OF the whole state of New Jer.
sey has been seriously retarded by
mosquitoes in sections which are admir-
ably adapted to dairy farming in other
respects, but where this business had
to be given up owing to the evil effect
of the mosquitoes on the cattle.
Many rich sections of land cannot
be developed as they ought to, he says,
because of the mosquito. DR.. Howard
declares that the typhoid fever is not
a national scourge as II has been
called, but rather national reproach
or national crime for its main source,
the fly evil can be controlled" DR..
Howard says that many diseases are
transmitted by insects. Yellow fever
is carried by one brand of mosquito
and malaria by another. The common
house fly is an active agent in the dis
seminatlon of typhoid fever, Asiatic
cholera and kindred intestinal disor.

The Nimrod expedition left England
In July, 1907, and after reaching the
ice fields and making the most elabor.
ate preparations, the main expedition
started on a sledge journey which oc-
cupied 126 days and traversed 1.70S
miles southwark. The explorers
reached latitude SS.23 and longitude
162 east. which was estimated as Ill
miles from the pole. At the point
where the expedition was compelled to

altitude. trending southwark in vast
field of snow.
A second party pushed forward to
the southern magnetic pole at latitude
1925, longitude 154 east. The British
flag was left flying at both points. The
ascent OF Mount Erebus was accom-
plished with difficulty, and geological
discoveries Of great importance we're
made. The results attained have
thrown much light upon the history Of
the Anarctic continent. The expedi-
tion suffered no loss of life.
Endured Privations.
The narrative of Lieut.. Shackleton's
achievements shows that the expedi.
tiOn endured the greatest trials and
privations. The motor car, which was
useful in the preliminary expeditions,
failed on the uneven surface of the
barriers of ice. Briefly summarized the
results of the expedition are that a
point was reached within III miles of
the south pole; the magnetic pole was
also reached; eight mountain chains
were discovered, and 100 mountains.
Mount Brebus, 1920 feet in altitude,
was ascended by the party; new
coast and high mountain were located
running west from Victoria land, and
coal measures we're discovered in the
Antarctic continent. The theory Of
the existence of an area of atmos-
pheric calm around the south pole was
disproved.
