have sold out and gone? No, little
sugar-plum; we could not get away

agement to serve as a desert. We
are waiting and watching for thee,

thy gentle footstep in the door and to
hear the ring of the happy dollars
within our office. Dear one, we feel
unusually sad and lonely without
you. Now, little pie-crust, will you
come? Do we hear you answer in a
voice so sweet and beguiling, I'm
cominr." 0r is it only the winds that
arornC our office roar? We pause
for further developments.

school Census of Kentucky Shows
Increase of Pupils.

Frankfort, Ky, July 21.-Superin-
tendent of Public instruction Regen-
stein has given out the school CEN
sus for 1910, and states that despite
the increase in the number of chill
dren in the State, the school per cap
tia will remain 81, the same as last
year. In the rural schools there are
531, 799 white children and $1,000
negro children, a total of SCI 500.
In the city schools there are 1885,
1872 white children and 27,941 color
ed children, a total of 154,O63, max
ing a grand total of 745,762 children
in the State of school age.
This means that $2,9S3,O4S will
be paid into the school fund during
the next scholastic year, which is
one-half of the money collected by
the State from all sources.
The increase of white children in
the State is ASA children and the
negroes but "A. There is a large de-
crease of negro children in the rural
schools and a proportionate increase
of negro children in the city schools.
This condition proves that the ne
groes are rapidly congregating in
cities, and that the industrial schools
" hici are being supported By the
State for the purpose of qualifying
the negroes for manual labor are not
serving their purpose.

gree of Guilt and
COURT WILL PASS SENTENCE
Except in Cases Punishable
By Death or ImpriSOn-
ment for Life.
HOW THE NEW LAW READS

The new Kentucky indeterminate
felony law passed by the last Legis-
lature went into effect on June IS.
The law provides that the jury
shall ascertain only whether or not
the defendant is guilty. If so, shall
pronounce an indeterminate sentence
of Imprisonment.
The law in full follows:
l. That all of Section 1876, Chap
ter SO, of the Kentucky Statutes, be
stricken out and the following sub
stituted therefor so that said section
as re-enacted shall read: That the
jury by which an offender, indicted
FOR q felony, is tried, shall ascertain
only whether or not said person is
guilty of felony; if guilty, the jury
shall so state in its verdict; and if
the indictment under which he is
prosecuted charges an offense con-
sisting of more than one degree,
shall find, and I'm the verdict say, of
what degree they find him guilty;
after such finding or verdict of the
jury, the court trying said offender
shall pronounce upon such person
an indeterminate sentence of impris-
onment in the penitentiary for
term, stating in such sentence and
judgment the minimum and maxi
mum time of such Imprisonment, the
term now or hereafter prescribed
by taw as the minimum term of i'm
prisonment for the punishment of
the offense stated in the verdict and
as the maximum time of such i'm
prisonment the term now or hereaf-
ter prescribed by law as the maxi
mum term of imprisonment for the
punishment of such offense; provid-
ed, however in the trial of persons
charged with the commission of a
felony punishable by death or con-
finement in the penitentiary for life,
if said person is found guilty by the
jury, it shall also prescribe the pun
ishment in it's verdict, and the court
trying said offender shall pronounce
upon such person a sentence of death
or Imprisonment for life, as found
by the jury. A person sentenced to
life Imprisonment under the provis-
ions of this act all be eligible to
parole as now or may hereafter be
prescribed by law.
The jury by which an offender
charged with a misdemeanor is tried,
or, if a jury trying a person indicted
for a felony shall find such person
guilty of a misdemeanor, the jury
shall fix by it's verdict the punish
ment to be inflicted within the period
or amount prescribed by law.
Persons sentenced to punishment
by confinement in the penitentiary
shall be kept at hard labor; and in
cases where the punishment is fine
or Imprisonment in the county Jail,
or both, the Imprisonment shall be
by close confinement in the jail of
the county where the trial was had,
unless otherwise provided; and the
prisoner shall also be confined in
the Jail until the fine and costs are
paid, unless otherwise provided.
