NOT TO Be WON THAT WAY

Do you know you have asked for the
costiliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A woman's heart and a woman's life
And a woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS a child might have asked for a
toy
demanding what others have died to
win
With the reckless dash of a boy?
You have written my lessons of duty
out,
Manlike you have questioned me:
Now stand at the bar of my woman's
soul
Until | have questioned thee.
You require your dinner should always
be hot,
Your socks and your shirts should
be whole;
| require your heart should be true as
Gods stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton
and beef,
1 require far better thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for
stockings and shirts
l want a man and king.
A king for the beautiful realm called
home
And a man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the first,
And say, tits very good"
l am fair and young, but the rose will
fade
From my soft young cheek one day;
Will you love me then, mid the fall
ing leaves,
AS you did mid the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep
1 may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.
! I require all things that are good and
true
All things that man should be;
J II you give this all, would stake my
life
To be all you demand of me.
If you can not do this-a laundress an
cook
J You can hire with little to pay;
/ But woman's heart and woman's
life
Are not to be won that way.

Commits Suicide-DoubIe Killing
What One Girl Did.

BABY KILLS HIMSELF:-Because
his mother spanked him, the five year
old boy of Mrs. Samuel Scott of Cen
trail City jumped into a well and
drowned himself. When his mother
came toward him to punish him, he
threatened to kill himself if she did
1t. Not dreaming that he would do
anything of the kind, the mother took
him to the house and whipped him.
After his punishment he left the
house and his mother heard him
scream. Going to look for him she
saw his curls floating ON the water
in the well, where he had thrown him
self. His neck was broken, also.
Med. FERGUSON DEAD:-After a
long illness with diabetes, Med. Fer
guson member of the Kentucky
State Railroad Commission and one of
the most prominent Democrats in
the State, died June II.
RIVALS HELEN KELLER:-A
/
girl who by reason of her great ac-
complishments over natural handicaps,
deserves to rank with Helen Keller,
the wonderful blind and deaf mute.
Allene Shea was born in 1893 in
Lexington. Born without hands, at
the age of sixteen she graduates
from tho c,,fcxyflIa Connp,arofo1 Hill,
School with the honor of being the
best penman ever graduated from the
school, the fastest typewriter operat-
or ever to receive a diploma in that
city, and as result of her profit
cheney finished the course with
grade of 1897, the highest grade,
ever given any graduate of the insti-
tuition.
DIE OVER OLD GRUDGE:-A pis-
toll duel at three PAGES resulted in
the death of both duellists in a sa-
loon in Louisville last week. Frank
Stigger, native of owen Co., chief
detective for the Kentucky and Indi-
ana Bridge Co., ana william L. Char-
les, of Breathitt Co., and former
employe of the same concern were
the victims of the tragedy. The kill
ing was the result Of an old grudge
which Charles held against Stigger.
JURY FAILS TO INDICT:-The
special grand jury in Jackson, Breath
lit county, which has been investigat-

made in Louisville at eight cents for
the first time since 1898.

DON'T ENDORSE ALL CANDIDATES

Several inquiries have been receiv-
ed by The Citizen recently as to
whether we endorse all the candi-
dates whose announcements appear in
the paper. We most emphatically do
not. Any reputable candidate, on pay
ment of the necessary price, can
run an announcement in which ne
says all the good things he wants 10
about himself, and we will offer no
objections so long as he does not
libel any one else, nor print matter
which will not go thru the mails.
We do not at all endorse the candi-
date, nor any candidacy, unless we
make a formal announcement in the
editorial columns. The advertisement
of a candidate is like any other adj
vertisement-the space is in the con-
troll of the man that buys it. However,
as there has evidently been some
mistakes concerning this we will here
after make it a rule to plainly label
all such announcements, with the
letters adv" at the end of the arti-
Gle.

GOOD THINGS THIS WEEK =; -

This week we start DR.. Cowley's
important article on the care of the
baby. There is no one thing in which
Modern Science has done more for
humanity than in saving the lives
of little babies. The average length
of human life has been increased by
ten years-chiefly thru saving the
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of tiny lives that were formerly lost
in the first few months of their lives.
Science has shown how to save them
and the death rate among little chill
dren is less than half what it once
was. Have any babies died in your
family? Occasionally there is wo-
man like the famous one who said,
that il any one knew how to take
care of children she did, because
she had buried eight. She was wrong
The fact that she had buried eight
children showed how little she
knew. About half of the deaths
of babies can be prevented by pro-
per care and attention. Have there
ever been any such deaths in your
family? Are there any little ones
there now that might be in danger?
If there are, or If there ever will
be, you want to read this article by
DR.. Cowley. If every one would do
the things he advises there would
be a great falling off in the number o
deaths OF babies. And if you will

Mr.. Burnam was a man who played
worthy part in state and national
affairs, and we who knew him init
mately. realized that this was not
through fictitious circumstances, but
because of the inherent force and
merit of his mind and character.
He possessed that self-control and
that calm perception of duty, and
that faith IN eternal Righteousness,
which made him an independent per-
sonality--one who led his fellows,
resisting the evil tendencies of his
times and surroundings, and contri-
buting to the progress of humanity.
He was gifted with great intellectual
power and that refinement and taste
which enabled him to utter words of
wisdom and high sentiment in a
worthy and convincing style. He
dignified the legal profession and
set high standard in patriotism and
efficiency in public services.
These public services have enrich
ed his fellow citizens, both the high
and humble, and his influences will
be remembered in all the wide cir
cles OF his activities
lie leaves an example to the young
men of his state in all ways worthy
of emulation.
RESOLVED: That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon our
minutes, published in The Citizen,
