old lady, 1T Is because We were taught
in our family to be cheerful at table.
My father was a lawyer with large
criminal practice; his mind was har-
assed with difficult problems all day

table with a smile and a pleasant
greeting for every one, and exerted
himself to make the table hour delight
full. All his powers of charm were
freely given to entertain his family.
Three times a day we felt his genial
influence, and the effect was mar
velous. II a child came to the table
with cross looks, he or she was quiet

were taught that all petty grievances
and jealousies must be forgotten when

These four propositions, taken to-

Mr.. Taft's programme. II they are

First, that railroads will have to

the coal produced by the Kentucky
mines is now taken care of by consum-

It is certain that new mines which

the railroads have practically all been

in order to maintain the production of
logs and lumber 1t is now necessary
to push back into the interior far
from the railroads in many cases the
little creeks which cut through the
hills being the only means of tran
sporting these logs to the mills and
the markets.
The growing scarcity of timber all
over the country will make the new
sections opened by railroads of enor-
nous value, and will enable Kentucky
to take advantage of lack of domes-
tic hardwoods which is being felt by
every consuming manufacturer and
every mmberman. Incidentally. open
