KENTUCKY POOLS.
Tobacco, Wool and Turkey Men Are
All In 1t, Says Report.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 1O.-The tur-
keys of central Kentucky were pooled
and sold at auction in this city. A
price of 10 cents a pound alive for the
fowls was paid by a local packing
firm. The price of dressed Christmas
turkeys this year will be 80 cents per
pound. The price dressed was 25
cents last year and it is expected that
the usual sale of thirty thousand tur-
keys during the holiday season will
accordingly be reduced to twenty thou
sand this year. There were from
eighteen thousand to twenty thousand
birds sold in the pool yesterday.
This organization gives Kentucky
three powerful pools-tobacco, wool
and turkeys.

WERE YOU EVER REALLY HUNGRY?
Were You Ever Sick, Miles From Home
and Without Cent?

Did a Christmas ever pass over
your head with absolutely nothing to
remind you of the day and time save
the fun and pleasure of other people
in which you had no share?

Portable homes, by cheerful fires, with
your family around you and carelessly

this will not be the experience of
many whom this paper will never
reach. AS you read, some families
are drawn around scanty fire, per-
haps watching over some sick father
or brother, the sole support OF the
family, and wondering where their
wood and food is to come from. Weary
and worn and sick at heart they are
facing the coming winter with sad
-foreboding. How will they respond
to the above queries? 1t remains for
you to say.

bout in Paris tonight for a $4,000
purse. While both the big colored
sluggers have never been considered
better than second-raters, they may
always be counted upon to put up a
fierce battle. Their meeting in Paris
last winter was a gruelling contest
which ended in the defeat of McVey
in the forty-ninth round, after he had
put up a game fight and knocked
Jeanette down more than a dozen
times.

Louisville, Dec. 1O-"Alma will be

pressed by Mrs. Kellner, mother of s.

to be held for ransom by kidnapers.
Following a visit to Mrs. Kellner late
yesterday of the negro servant, Katie
Martin, and her delivery of the alleged
message entrusted to her by two
white women one of whom, as the
servant says, was a man." the
anxious mother made ready to meet
the emissaries of the supposed kid
napers at some yet unknown place to-
day.
The city has not been so stirred in
years as by the disappearance on her
way to mass Wednesday of little
Alma Kellner.

the means of destroying eternally one
for whom Christ died. The thought
of this great command is simply such
as to create terror of heart and to
cause one to earnestly pray that such
a charge be not laid at his or her door.
Peak Five. "1he kingdom of God
is not meat and drink. but righteous
ness and peace and joy in the Holy
Ghost. What we eat or drink,
wear. amuse ourselves with. our sta
tion in life. wealthy or poor. sick
or we'll, in fact all earthly condi.
tions are not to be compared with
righteousness in Gods sight. The
kingdom of God is none of these
things.
Peak Six. ''It is good neither to
eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor any
thing whereby thy brother stumb!eth
or is offended or made weak Here
is the great peak of all, the verse
which can be used daily as guide for
christian conduct. 1t answers the
que stion whether christian should
drink wine and beer, play cards. at.
tend certain amusements, engage in
certain ! mes of business. The ques-
tion is not alone how will a thing
effect me but what example does it
set before my children, my friends
about me. This verse is the strongest
one in the bible on the temperance
question, and thus we'll finds place in
lesson specially designed to bring
forward the evils of intemperance.
Peak Seven. "Happy is he that
condemneth not himself in that things
which he alloweth." Millions of men
and women know that verse is true.
Oh the heart aches over things we al
low ourselves to do which our con-
sciences tell US, are wrong; oh the
joy when by the help of God one is
able to stop doing the things he knows
are wrong. yet keeps on doing. That
verse is simply a soul and heart
searcher. 1t is impossible to get
away from it.
Now readers have an idea of the
greatness of the fourteenth chapter
of Romans. We have only touched on
the "high places" and there are many
others nearly SO. which further ex-
plain the thoughts of Paul. 1t is our
earnes. hope that the study of the
lesson will not only strengthen the
cause of temperance but general chris
tian living. Certain judgment and
accounting in the end, and risk of
leading others into sin. certainly de-
mand our attention.

Nov.2s 8. Paul on Self Denial
Worlds Temperance Lesson. Romans
l4:1O-21.
We have for the lesson verses this
week one of the greatest chapters of
the bible. Ranked from the stand
point of directions for practical chris
tian living it has no equal except the
words of Jesus Himself in declaring
what is go we'll known as the ''Golden
Rule. The fourteenth chapter of
Romans is mighty Himalya range of
vital truth with commanding peaks in
nearly every verse. Considering it
such. readers may be sure that this
short talk cannot do it justice.
Peak One. The thought of the
opening five verses that one christian
should not condemn another as to his
conduct in on-essential matters.
That each is the servant of God before
whom he stands or falls.
Peak two. "We shall all stand
before the judgment of Christi
Every one of US shall give account
of himself to God" Do not these
declarations from the great Paul loom
up toward high and confront every
man, woman and child who reads?
There is no getting around the fact as
to the judgment to come. and that we
must all give an account of our lives
to God. Paul let no occasion pass to
urge consideration of this thought.
He had it in the great address on
Mars Hill at Athens. and he hurled
it at Festus and Agrippa. He places
1t squarely before every reader of this
column. and may its influence ever
guide their conduct. When that
Judgment comes, it will be leach one
for himself - You and l cannot say
that because some other pretending
christian did thus and 80. we should
be excused for sin and disohedience.
Peak Three. ''Let no man put q
stumbling block or an occasion to
stumble in his brothers. way" Here
looms up ones awful responsibility
for the example he sets before his
brother or sister. 1t Is the duty of
the strong to help the weak, to deny
themselves the doing of things which
lmay not seem wrong co them, but
Which some other. doing, will fall into
In and thus miss heaven.
] Peak Four. "Destroy not him
with thy meat for whom Christ died"
Just think of the preciousness of
human soul. Consider the danger
that you and are in, if it can be laid
at our door that our lives were such
as to lead another to reject Jesus. and
