Bows on Mems Hats.

Why is it that a mans hat has a
band. and why is it this band has a
bow invariably on the left side?
The answer is that there was time
when piece Of cloth adjusted to the
head and tied with a band of other
material served for a headpiece. The
reason the bow was always placed
on the left side had its origin in the
fact that in welding swOrd-an ac-
complishment possessed by nearly ev-
cry one of consequence at one period
Of the worlds history-the bow or
rosette if placed on the right side
would have been in the way Its pres
ent day utility is that it keeps most
men from wearing their hats hind side
before. and. although with most hats
that would not matter. with most
heads it does.-Chicago Record-Herald

The Bucket Shop.

Bucket ShOpS"-a name how used
to denote small "outSide" stock brokers
or financiers not in membership with
the Stock Exchange were so called
because when they first started in
Chicago the only commodity dealt in
by small spectators to any extent
was wheat. The legitimate dealers
would not handle an order for less
than 5000 bushels, and then lot OF
places sprung up where men of linn
tied capital could speculate with very
small sums. and these men were spo-
ken of CONTEMPORARY as buying and
selling wheat by the bucketful; hence
shops where a small business was
conducted in grain on a margin came
to be known as bucket shops. The
term was finally extended to cover all
brokerage offices where small lots of
either grain or stock were bought and
sold, and it was applied particularly
to those places where both seller and
buyer did not more than gamble" on
the rise and fall Of stocks.

Some Of these youngsters who are

his physiology recently it may be stat

the sort of pillows that make
sleep. She began it in this way:
One morning somebody had come
out early on the roof across the
court of a hundred windows and
hung a big white sheet up by
each corner, so that it was nice
and hollow. Then they filled it
with something green. The
woman worried all day about
what that something green was,
then she went across the little
hall to her German neighbor and
asked.
why, that's corn shucks,'
she answered. ''They are going
to make a mattress. A corn
shuck mattress is the finest
thing in the world to sleep on.
1t makes you sleep. Haven't
you corn shuck pillow? You
must make one. l will save you
my shucks. A corn shuck pill
low is the best thing to make
you sleep, next to a pillow of
hops. That's fine. A pine pill
low. too, is good to make you
Sleep"
So the woman, instead of max
ing the small boys tear off the
shucks when she bought corn,
brought the whole business
home and carefully tore them off
herself until she had enough for
a pillow, together with the
shucks the German neighbor-
saved for her. Then she went
out into the country and brought
back a lot of pine needles and
made a pillow out of those.
Then she bought some hops and
made a hop pillow. All these
she placed together at the head
of her bed and laid herself down
on them.
WELL" asked some friends
who knew of her new venture in
the sleeping line, "did you sleep
any better?"
No." said the woman sadly
Il slept worse. | think it was
the mingled odors of the hops
and the pine and shucks, though,
that kept me awake. -

Mild Laxative

The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the Intelligence OF ITS
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control
The prime cause of trouble is in the,

Good Roads Legislature.


Amendment has been adopted
declaring for State aid to the
building of public highways it is
up to the Legislature to do some
thing toward securing it. While
the financies of the State are in
bad condition, the State itself
was never so prosperous and
never in so good a condition to
slant a small tax for the purpose
of building goods roads. Thirty
states in the Union have already
gone ahead of Kentuck by pro-
viding State aid and as a result
each one of them are outstriping
the Blue Grass State in road
building.
We believe that at this time
of general prosperity among
nearly all classes of people that a
State tax of five cents on the
hundred dollars for aiding the
counties in building roads would
be the very best investment that
could be made; that it would re-
turn to the State in few years
in Increased values and many
other advantages more than
comes to it from all the other
State taxes combined. Such a
tax would yield sufficient revenue
to pay to each county in the
State $4,000 for road building
when each county put up from
$500 to $4,000 itself. This
would mean the building in
every county which took advant-
age Of State aid to construct each
year from fifteen to twenty miles
of good turnpike roads, or at
least 1000 miles of road in the
State everp year.
If the Legislature should do
this it should require that all
counties to receive the benefit of
Suate aid should work their roads
by local taxation, that a fixed
standard of roads should be pre-
scribed by the State Engineer
and no State money paid out
until roads were built as required
by the State plans and specifica-
tons.
We believe that the most popu-
lar and the best way for State
aid would be to give to each
county in the State an equal
amount of money. provided the
county put up two thirds or
three fourths the cost of every
mile of road constructed. This
would put the poor counties on an
equal basis with the rich and
they are the counties which need
the roads the most. Under a law
of this kind in the event a county
did not take advantage of it then
its share should remain III the
State treasury to be proportional
out the next year.
Of course there will be people
who will oppose any bill which
llevies any kind of tax for any
kind of purpose, but we think
there would be less objection
offered to the plan outlined above
than any that could be consider
ed by the Legislature. e. Town
