KEEP MONEY AT HOME.
Kentucky MiIIers VIII Get First
Chance at State Flour Contracts.

Frankfort. Ky.-Few. II any. con-
tracts for -four for the charitable in
situations OF the state will be given
out of Kentucky. Most OF the super.n-
tendents OF the asylums would rather
have the hard wheat -four from the
northwest, as they claim that it is
slightly cheaper, and makes lighter
bread. but the members of the board
are going to keep their money at
home.
When the contracts for -four were
about TO be let some time ago, II was
tipped that some OF the contracts
would go out Of Kentucky. This tip
was noised about and was caught up
by the ears OF the Kentucky Millers'
association. A trip was made here
and the members OF the board were
called them. and after a conference
II was decided that unless there was
an awful disparity In the bids the
money would stay at home and the
contracts would be given TO Kentucky
firms.

ocean to the polar sea. The tribute of
thousand tribes and the homage of
seven-and-twenty conquered nations
were laid at his feet here. But all this
glory has departed and for five centu-
ries Samarkand has been dying.
All the tnposing structures that
once gave Samarkand its reputation as
the finest city in Asia have either dis
appeared or are in an advanced stage
of decay and dilapidation. They have
been almost entirely stripped of the
adornments that made them famous.
and the earthquakes that occur every
few years diminish the number of tur-
quoise and azure domes and the dimen-
sions of the enameled walls. and in
crease the heaps OF debris which now
cover the ground. No effort has been
made by the government or the priests
or the people to restore or even to ar
rest the ravages of time or to protect
or preserve the architectural monu-
ments that have stood here for ages
against the vandals, the earthquakes
and other destructive agencies that
have made Samarkand wreck of it's
former magnificence.

The Persians used to call Samar-

Asia for learning and culture, but a
Babylon for extravaganza and vice.
The luxury and immortality of its

1t is no uncommon practise among
farmers to smoke the leaves of the to-

the smoking of leaves in moderation
is harmless. Excessive use. though,

Do They Own cIneInnatI2

Cincinnati.-Notl long ago the lineal
descendants of George Washington
caused the probate Of his will to be
opened, 107 years after his death.
Their object in doing SO was to prove.
II they could, that they were entitled
to the greater part of the land on
which the city OF Cincinnati Is built.
Their claim rests upon an alleged
grant of this land by congress to
Washington as a partial reward for
his services In the Revolutionary war.
They profess to have the original
documents In which the land was
ceded and which were overlooked at
the time Of the generals death. partly
because Of the fact that at that time
the land had no particular value.

ceived the first overflow.
Maria Theresa a hundred and fifty
years ago had brilliant idea for
squelching the dangerous nomads.
She provided doweries for all gypsy
maidens who would marry her Aus
trian subjects. 1t was the most popu-
lar move any empress ever made, es-
pecially with the gypsy maidens.
They applied for the dowries in
beautiful, bridal droves; got them;
and ran off with their gypsy hus-
bands and lovers day after day, until
Maria Theresa concluded that gypsy
maidens were likely to prove unprofit-
able investments.
Emperor Joseph II. thought he had
them fixed forever when he gave them
houses and lands, seed. grain ,.nd

promptly eaten; the houses beca ne

sold. and the owners moved on.

England and the United States Now
Turned Against Them-Efforts
to Induce Them to Settle
Down Unavalllng.

Washington.-Every through
out the civilized world the hand of
mankind seems to be raised against
the gypsies. The last two refugees to
which they betook themselves-the
United States and England-have set
their faces against them. Hereafter
in England they are to be treated
like common vagrants. without visible
means of support, while in the United
States the immigration laws serve to
debar them as idle and dangerous
nomads.
France decided some years ago
that the gypsy was a public menace
and. in the summary fashion of the
to thing. expelled him as relentless
ly as 1t has expelled the monks.
Germany. which is a grim manufac-
turing establishment, after all. sim

for they hate water like so many
wildcats, they took to the canals of
placid Holland. But the phlegmatic
Dutchmen. every tradition of their
plodding industry outraged at sight
of the gay wanderers. drove them out
again.
Meanwhile, the Balkans. where the
gypsy has ever roamed as free as any
other bird of prey. have begun to feel
