Remedy for Hard Times.

It's argued by some that the
present high prices of farm pro-
pucts are caused by the fact that
money has lost much of its pur-
chasing power. This may appeal
to some, but to the impartial. in
formed man it is only ar imagi
nation. We know if there is but
little money in circulation.and an
abundance of horses for sale, the
price Of horses will be cheap:and
if there is plei ty of money in cir
culation. and but few horses for
sale. the price of horses will, be
high. This is true, also of al
farm products, which are very
high at present in fact. too high
to benefit the common people. 1t
is all right for farm products to
be high, provided the common
farmer has living and at least a
small margin, but when the great
mass of farmers do not have this,
then the abnormal high prices
prove a detriment. There is not
enough wheat, corn, pork, ETC.,
raise !, and the reason for this is
that not enough people are farm
ing. The cities are being con-
gested with population, while the
country is annually being de-
populated. The proper equilib-
rum of prices has been disturbed
as the effect Of this cause and it
cannot be restored until the cause
is removed. A greater per cent of
the young men should remain on
the farm and many go back to the
farm. Harrodsburg Herald.

GROWN PRINCES BEAUTY
CONTEST Anglers PRINCESS

Berlin.-A recent escapade of the
Crown Prince has considerably pro-
voked the Crown Princess, accord
ing to the "Reichsbot."
During the maneuvers of the Guards
Corps his Imperial Highness COM
manded the First Battalion of the
First Foot Guards.
One morning a crowd gathered to
watch the soldiers preparing their
meal. After the meal the men were
allowed to amuse themselves in their
own way, the Prince participating in
the fun.
Seeing ladies among the onlookers
his Imperial Highness proclaimed a
beauty competition, passed the assem-
bled aspirants in review and awarded
prizes to all.
The Prince was particularly graci-
Gus to three young ladies, who, at his
request, took charge of the camp
kitchen and cooked pancakes for him
and his officers.
1t was the last act of the little COM
edy that is said to have annoyed the
Crown Princess and to have led her
to characterize it sharply as unprince-
like and undignified.

RULER OF SAXONY
TO HUNT BIG GAME

Berlin.-King Frederick Augustus
of Saxony has completed arrange
ments for an extensive hunting expe-
dition in the British Soudan. His
majesty expects TO start for Africa
in February next and to be away two
months.
The king will travel strictly incog
nito, and as far as his rank permits,
purely in the capacity of a big-game
sportsman. Only two companions
have so far been chosen to accompany
hism ajesty-his physician, DR.. Selle,
and his personal adjutant, Lieutenant
Colonel Meister.
The expedition will start from
Khartum and follow the route along
the White Nile TO the vicinity of
Fashod. King Frederick Augustus,
who is a capital shot and an inveter-
ate huntsman, is reading Mr.. Roose-
velt's book on his big game expedi-
tion in Africa and will doubtless bene-
fit by the ex-president's experiences.
The kings brother, Prince Johann
George, and his wife, and His Majes-
tvs sister, Princess Matilda, have just
started on a journey to the far east.

LIFE UNDER
CHARM OF ODD RING

Madrd.-A very great many of
King Alfonso's loyal subjects firmly
believe that their young king owes
his marvellous escapes from danger
to a certain ring which is supposed to
bring long life and prosperity to a
worthy Spanish monarch and death
to everyone else who possesses 1t.
This ring. which Is studded with dia-
monds and pearls, was first presented
by King Alfonso XII to his consort
Queen Mercedes, who died a month
later
The king next gave it as a present
to his sister Maria, who died a, few
days later. Again 1t came into lis
majestys possession. This time he
gave It to his late wife's grandmother,
Queen Christina, who was dead in
three months. Fearing to bring about
further disaster and death, the king
placed the jewel in his own 'casket,
with the result that he died within a
year.
The queen regent was so-supersti,
tious about the ring that she abso-
lutely refused to have anything to do
with it, and ordered It to be hung
around the neck of the statue of the
virgin OF Almudena of Madrid, which
ornaments one of the parks of that
city. Here II is safe from robbers,
for no Spanish thief would touch it
one and all believing that, while it
would mean death to them, it pos
sesses a magic influence over the life
of their king, who became its legal
possessor upon his accession to the
throne.

Paris Landmark to Go.

Paris.-One of the most interest
ing features of Old Paris is now being
demolished-the ancient house at the
Rue Saint-Florentin and the Rue
SaintHonore. which became famous
during the Reign Of Terror.
1t was built in the seventeenth CEN
tury. and was first used as a tavern
under the name Of the Holy Ghost.
Here a curious assembly saw the carts
with the victims OF Marat, Robespie--
re and Danton pass to the guillotine.
The guillotine stood where the OBJ =
lisk Of Luxor now is in the Place de
la Concorde. The house of Robe
sphere still exists not far from the
former tavern.

Dedicate University.

Cape Town, South Africa, Nov 5.
University Hall, the principal build
ing of South Africa's proposed great
educational institution, had its incep-
ton today when the Duke of Con-
naught, brother Of the late King Ed
ward, laid the foundation stone Of
the edifice. The new university is ex-
pected to rank with those of England
America and will provide facilities for
higher education to the youth OF the
new union of South Africa.

was inaugurated yesterday by the

New York, Nov SIN most of the
gressional campaign is closing. In a
few states red fires will glow Monday
evening but the real close of the cam
paign is today. In every state, Maine
and Vermont excepted, congressional
elections will be held. In twenty-five
states, complete new state tickets will
be voted for. Not since 1890 when the
house of representatives was sweep
ingly returned democratic with a re-
publican president, has an off year
election aroused such interest. Poll
ticians of old declare the conditions
are similar to those of 1890. The re-
vulsion Of feeling. which democrats
profess to see, is admittedly the work
OF republican leaders and may leave
President Taft in the same position
as Harrison was with an overwhelm-
ing democratic house.
In some of the states, notably New
York, New Jersey. Massachusetts, Cal
ifornia and oregon the gubernatorial
race overshadows the congressional
eleCtloHS. Inc issue IN tne new 1ork
fight is admittedly Theodore Roose-
welt. Although the direct primary
and other influences count some, the
colonel is the center of the stage fac
tor. Roosevelt is backing Stimson for
governor against John Dix. In WASH
ington the fight is on progressive lines
only in the congressional elections.
In Idaho the chief interest is in the
gubernatorial contest in which Wet
vs. Dry and progressiveism are pit
ed against standpatism issues. In
Oregon the chief interest is in the
gubernatorial contest in which the is
sue has been made on "assemblyism"
versus the direct primary, which It Is
alleged forbids the holding of nomi-
mating conventions by parties.
