 Political Discussion Barred
 Another of the features of the con- ference has been the fact that Cover nor Wilson of Kentucky, the host, has set the precedent by statement that no matter pertaining to political af- fairs which would ring about a polit- ical difference sh.u be discussed. This was adopted by he conference.
 The receptions at the state recep- tion room at Colonel T ylor's and Gov ernor Wilson's were brilliant affairs. There was a reception at former Gov, ernor Beckham's.
 Governor Wilson read a letter from President Taft regretting his absence, in which he said
 T have great sympathy with the ob- jects of your meeting, which I under stand to be for the general national welfare by uniformity of state legisla- ton upon subjects having general na- tional interest I wish for your meet ing the most successful issue ill sub- stantial results"
 The only chance the public had to meet the governors at Frankfort was at a reception held at the new state house, where many hundreds grasped the hands of the leaders of the states.
 Governor and Mrs. Wilson gave a reception at the governors mansion.

TROUBLE IN YUCATAN

City of Mexico, Dec. 1.-Regular troops and rurales have gone out from the city of Chihuahua. They saw reb- els two miles distant, but there was no fight. Orders were given to attack the rsvolutionists at daylight. Troops are guarding all the roads leading to the city of Chihuahua.
 It is reported that there was fight Monday at TeXcoco, a town of 6,000 people on the Interoceanio railroad. It is said that several were killed on both sides.
 Disquetng Rumors Rife.
 Although the government has sue ceeded i'll checking open revolt, still the rebellion is far from crushed, as Is evidenced by the active movement of troops and disQuieting rumors from various quarters of the republic. The fourteenth regiment of cavalry has been hurried to Chihuahua and the twenty-ninth cavalry to Yucatan, where rumors say the Maya Indians have broken out. They killed fifty three federal soldiers ard captured government arms and ammunition
 The fight Monday at Fresno, Chi huahua, is said to be only a prelin- tain many revOlutionists. They ara hard to get at and are liable to appear anywhere at any time.

 Foreign investments Halt.
 The troubles are discouragng fer eign investments and putting off ar ranged investigations of properties and hurting business to some extent. Business men hope that after the in auguration, matters will resume their normal state, but so long as Madero is at large the trouble will continue Ma deros whereabouts is a matter of con lecture, but most likely he is with his followers in the mountains of Chi huahua, where the federal troops are being mobilized.
 Other portions of the republic, eX- cept Yucatan, are reported quiet. Ar rests continue at Pueblo and other towns and prisoners are being sent here frequently. The capital is qiuet, heavily patroled by cavalry, while large reserves are under arms. The inauguration ceremonies will be quiet, in contrast with those of other years.

A CHINESE STRATAGEM.
Legend of How a Projected Invasion
Was Averted.

Legend of How a Projected Invasion
Was Averted.
Rajah Suran, who was one of the
earliest rulers Of India, overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ia, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
ters. 1t Is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council Of his
generals and mandarins. and. upon the
advice of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When it ~arrived-the
most wonderful part of the story is
that 1t did ~arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long 1t had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In confederation of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which. they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. You can see." they
concluded. that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

New Jersey.s Ex-Governors

From the Jersey City Journal.
The death of George Werts removed
the last of the Democratic Governors.
There are four ex-Governors living, and
three of them are often seen in or les
the State House. Governor Voorhees,
generally visits the State House once a
week, but he does not tarry among the
people who crowd the corridors. He is
running a Hunterdon county farm as
we'll as practicing law, and seems to
get good health and profit out of the
combination. Governor Stokes is more
in evidence and is generally credited
with a desire to "don United States
Senator Kean. Governor Griggs at
tends Supreme Court aud other courts
at the State House, but he is seen only
on the way to and from the court
rooms Governor Murphy is never
seen at the State House.

The American Housewife

The cost of living in this country has
always been out of all proportion to it's
inherent wealth-its abundant re-
sources of food, which should be set at
a reasonable price for the people.
1t is a we'll known fact that a man
may make a franc (or 20 cents) go as
far in France as he can a dollar IN the
United States. Perhaps in the wide
spread discussion of the subject of ex-
pensive living at this juncture one i'm
portant detail may have been over
looked.
The American housewife has not
been trained to such practices of econ
omy as prevail in almost every Euro
pean household. She is lavish because
her husbands purse is an open book to
her. AT a pinch no woman in the world
can be more unselfsh or self-denying,
but when money is easy she and her
husband delight alike in making it fly.
Americans ale known the world over
for this open-handed, If more pro6igate
than thrifty, trait.
1t is proverbial and no doubt beyond
dispute that what is wasted weekly in
the kitchen of a "well-to-don American
family would stock a French menage
of equal size for the week following.
And very probably the cuisine would
be Observation-Disclosures Press.
