Who is a Gentleman,

One of the leading journals of
the country has been conducting
a little public inquiry as to What
is a gentleman? Who is a gentle
man? Why is a gentlman? Some
of the answers are very interest
ing, showing how diversified are
the ideas on this mooted ques-
ton. Many of them still leave
the question unsolved, for in
stance: "A gentleman is Gods
perfect type of man. This gives
us cause to inquire about the
perfect type and there we are
again.
Here is a good answer: A gen.
tleman is a manly man, with at
least a reasonable degree Of in
telligence, who lives as nearly
as possible a truly Christian life.
If he is all this, he will possess
all the lesser essentials. -
And this: "a gentleman is one
who is as gentle as a woman and
as manly as a man" Or this one
from a woman: Several years
ago l read in a book of an old
lady, who said: The word gen.
tleman comprises all Of morality
and a great deal of religion. l
thought the definition perfect
and mean to instilI those words
into the training of my two little
boys
A longer one goes more into
detail: "A gentleman is he who
is never mean or little in his dis
putes. He never takes an unfair
advantage and never mistakes
personalities or sharp sayings for
arguments. He guards against
unreasonable illusions or topics
which irritate. He never speaks
of himself except when compell-
ed and never defends himself by
a mere retort, American Boy.

Woes Of a Bashful man

A-bashful young man in town
was invited cut to dinner. He
was very much agitated. He
sat opposite a mirror and dis
covered that he had forgotten to
comb his hair. Then he dropped
his fork on the floor and as he
stopped to pick it up he upset
his coffee. Matters went from
bad to worse, until finally in des-
pair the young man quit eating
and put his hands under the
table. The loose end of the
table cloth was lying in his lap.
He thought it was his shirt and
that he had forgotten to put the
garment in his trousers. He
hurriedly stuffed the supposed
shirt inside his trousers. After
ward when the family arose
from the table there was crash.
The dishes lay in broken mass
on the floor. The young man
pulled three feet of tablecloth
out of his pants and flew to the
woods. Exchange.

Not Satisfied.

Auditor Frank P. James is not
satisfied with the way the As
SCISSORS of the Kentucky counties
made mp their reports this year
and he will insist that they be
made up more complete and in
accordance with the law next
year. The amount of money
with corporations, other than
banks, is given at S188, 766, and
the Auditor and State Board are
inclined to think that this amount
is too low.
The amount of cash deposited
with individuals is given at $685.
164, which is another low water
figure. The amount of all other
credits or money on interest is
fixed at S488, 253, and Auditor
James thinks this is another low
figure. A good many of the
counties do not report on these
figures at all.
The amount of stock in joint
stock companies or associations
is given at SLABS, 1894, and the
amount of stock, in foreign cor
porations is fixed at 81, 120, 1886.
1t is almost an even bet that if
the real facts could be secured
there are individuals in this
state who own as much as ST.
O0O,0 900 in joint corporations or
associations, and many who own
as much as 1000, 900 of stock
in foreign corporations.

Presidency Within His Grasp.

1t is fact that Bryan had
within his grasp the Presidential
office in 1896. For one full hour
that great opportunity stood
knocking at his his door, and he
failed to grasp it and it fled, it
seems forever. When he was
nominated in 1896 the conven-
ton proceeded tc nominate a
vice-president, and on the fourth
ballot, John R. Mclean, of Ohio,
was within few votes of the
vice-presidential nomination. If
Mr.. Bryan had permitted the
nomination of Mclean, who was
worth $50, 100000 at that time,
it is said that Mclean would
have freely given 100000 of
his money and would have raised
from one to two million more,
this would have carried Bryan
into the White House on high
tide. The lack of which defeat
ed him. At the commencement
of the fifth ballot of the Demo-
cratic convention Bryan gave it
out that he would not accept Nc.
Lean as a running mate and that
settled it and Sewall, of Maine,
was nominated, who was a mill
stone on the Democratic ticket,
and while a millionaire, was also
a tight wad." j. R. Mclean is
now worth $75, 900, 900, and has
joined what is known as the
People Be Damned" class on
millionaires.

Why Hogs Root.

1t is said by observers that a
hog roots in the ground for aka
Ii which aids him in digestion.
Nature helps him out in this
way when man is foolish enough
to neglect him. In the amount
of carbonaceous feed that we
feed the hogs, there is too little
phosphate for them. Anything
that we throw to the hogs wheth-
er lime, bones or oyster shells
seem to be greatly relished and
seem to be great help to them
in digesting their other feed, and
promoting their general health.
Tankage is an excellent feed to
prevent the sows and pigs from
having an apparent craving for
uncommon feeds like bones, old
leather and also killing chickens.
1t also aids them in getting more
nutriment out of their other feed
by keeping them in a healthy
condition. A good plan is to sat-
isfy the craving for something
different" by planting a patch of
artichokes, which will give them
their fill before putting them on
clover or grass.

Charged with Murder.

Fanny Washington was arrest

afternoon charged with murder

Wednesday night she reported
to the police that an unknown
negro man had assaulted her on
the Fleming pike just outside
the city, and had thrown the
child into a pool of water.
The officials started an inves-

oner's inquest a verdict was rem
dered that she had killed the
child by drowning. She was

Female Apparel.

Female costume in the tenth
century was classical in its sim
plicity. The woman wore long,
loose, flowing skirts reaching to
the feet and a draped cote" or
upper garment. Chaucer, who
died in 400, when Henry w
was king, frequently uses the
word cote. In the Canterbury
Tales" he depicts the sergeant
at-law as wearing a medley
COTE" which no doubt means a
coat of many colors, while the
miller he describes as wearing a
whyte cote"
1t was in the fourteenth CEN
fury that the word gown" first
came into use. An anonymous
author in no mild words finds
fault with the fashion of his
days. He writes that the com
mons were besotted in excess of
apparel, in wide surcoats reach
ing to their lyons, some in a gar
ment reaching to their feet, close
before and strowting out on the
side, so hat on the back they
make men seem women, and
these they call by a ridiculous
name gown"
AS early as the twelfth GEN.

Corn is King.

Official estimates for August,
as made by the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington, show
that corn is still king, with
promise of the largest crop ever
raise d, Notwithstanding big
losses last month west of the
Missouri river. Despite losses
of 22O,OOO,OOO bushels last
month, The crop promise now
stands at 2,94O,0OO,OOO bushels,
or just 100000 bushels more
than the bumper crop of 1906.
Oats also have distanced the pre-
vious bumper crop by 100000
bushels, promising 1922, 100000,
bushels, against 1,006, 1853, 900
bushels last year, which was the
first time the oat crop of the
United States ran into the bill
ion-bushel class. Except for Sc
rious scorching in the North
west, the present crop would
have shown up phenomenally,
providing of course, that the re-
cent excellent filling, maturing
and harvest weather in the big
producing states had. not been
marred. Winter wheat, however,
furnished a surprise even to the
most'optimistic, although it was
known to everybody that the
grain was of magnificent quality
and was weighing out handsome
iy. Its preliminary showing, as
given in figures by the depart
ment, is for a yield 100000
bushels larger than that of last
year, and put this years crop as
second largest in the country's
history, the crop of 491, 900, 900
bushels raised in 1906 being first.
The losses shown in spring wheat
month ago measured virtually
all of the crop loss of the year.
The spring wheat crop is small
enough to pull the total wheat
production down to $4,000, 900
bushels, total which has been
beaten five times in the last de-
cade.

Latin-American Trade.

Do you know that the total
foreign trade, exports and i'm

Do you know that Of this, the
share of the 20 Latin American
Republics was $2,O77, 900, 900?
Do you know these figures show
that Latin America does more

Do you know that further an
alysis Of these figures show a
total foreign trade between Latin
America and the United States
of $558, 100000?
Do you know that this total
represents only about one-fourth
of the total foreign trade Of the
sister Republics of the United
States, divided as follows: Ex-
ports to the United States, $685.

this particular neck OF the
woods" / will proceed to write
you few lines. We have had
a very hot, dry summer. The
thermometer registered la in
the shade one day, but it has
been cool for the last two or
three days. Most letters | see
in the News from this western
country are sugar coated to a
great extent. There are great
many people that fall in love
with country and believe in
boosting it. While | like this
western prairie country, and like
to live here in many ways better
than in Kent lcky. Old Kentucky,
my birth place, especially the
people, there have warm place
in my affections that no other
people can take. This country
has its draw backs as we'll as
good points. The Springs are
always windy and disagreable.
The Summers nearly always hot
a n d dry, especially July and
August; and there is seldom a
good corn season, that is, in this
part of Oklahoma. 1t is a fine
place to raise small grain. /
raised 22 bushels of wheat to the
acre, and 81 bushels of oats to
the acre, but my corn is almost
a total failure, owing to the
hot winds in July. l had a pros
pect for go bushels of corn to
the acre and you who have never
experienced it can't imagine
the feelings that creep over a
man when he has 60 or 70 acres
of corn and see it wilt and fall.
Twenty-four hours of hot winds
like we had in July is enough to
put the fxings to a corn crop.
| expected when / came to
Oklahoma to find a great fruit
country. but this year is the
third crop Of apples that Okla
homa has had since the opening
up of the country. The old set
tiers tell me there is plenty of
apples and peaches this year,
while last year not an apple. or
peach could be found in the coun-
try around here. In this part Of
Oklahoma we have just as good
water as you can boast of in
Kentucky. 1t is a more healthy
country than Kentucky. Not so
much fever and you can sleep
out doors on the ground and not
take cold any time in the Sum-
mer and Fall. / have been
awakened lots of times by rain
falling j in my face and never
have had a cold from sleeping
out doors.
Another thing | like about Ok
lahoma is one man can farm 100
acres very easy except in har-
vest and you don't have to work
but thirteen months in the year.
One man can put out 70 acres of
corn and tend it if he will work,
and if he don't want to do that
my advice is for him to stay
away from Oklahoma. Wages
are high and everything you buy
is higher here than in Kentucky
except plug horses, and you can
get them at your own prices.

Army of the Republic.
The Lincoln Type.
Continuing, he said:
''Of that generation of men, to whom
we owe so much, the man to whom we
owe the most is, of course, Lincoln.
Part of our debt to him is because he
forecasted our present struggle and
saw the way out: He said:
hold that while man exists it is
his duty to improve not only his own
condition, but to assist in ameliorating
mankind And, again, Labor is prior
to and independent of capital; capital is
only the fruit of labor, and could never
have existed but for labor. Labor is the
superior of capital and deserves much
higher consideration. Capital has its
rights, which are as worthy of protec-
ton as any other rights. Nor
should this lead to a war upon the
owners of property. Property is the
fruit of labor; property is desirable; is
positive good in the world. Let not
him who is houseless pull down the
house of another, but let him work dill
gently and build one for himself, thus
by example showing that his own shall
be safe from violence when built
Capital and Labor.
ct seems to me that in these words
Lincoln took substantially the attitude
that we ought to take; he showed the
proper sense of proportion in his rela.
tive estimates of capital and labor, of
human rights and property rights.
Above all, in this speech, as in many
others, he taught lesson in wise kind
illness and charity; an indispensable les
son to US of today. But this wise kind
illness and charity never weakened his
arm or numbed his heart. We cannont
afford weakly to blind ourselves to the
actual conflict which faces us today.
The issue is joined, and we must fight
or fail.
In every wise struggle for human
betterment one of the main objects
and often the only object, has been to
achieve in larger measure equality of
opportunity.
In the struggle for this great end,
nations rise from barbaTism to civili-
zation, and through it peoples press
forward from one stage of enlighten
ment to the next. One of the chief fac
tors in progress is the destruction of
special privilege. The essence of any
struggle for healthy liberty has al
ways been and must always be to take
from some one man or class of men the
right to enjoy power. or wealth, or po-
sition, or immunity which has not been
earned by service to this or their fell
