LITTLE INTEREST
Taken Locally In the Demo
cratic Primary Yesterday.

The election yesterday was very,
very quiet. There was none of the
usual excitement about the polls. nc
workers. no challengers. no one
seeming to take an active interest
anywhere.
The saloons were closed, but il
was altogether an unnecessary con.
formance to the law, as the ques-
tions of the day was in no wiee dis
turbed.
Voters dropped in one by one and
cast their bullots without sugges
tions from any source. The vote il
the city and throughout the county
was very light, about one-half of the
Democratic vote.
At 6 O'Clock 20 precincts of Chris
ttan county gave Stanley 823, Civ
ems 257 and Clements 1l8.
Hopkinsville complete included
gave Stanley 262. Givens 1877, Glenn

The thief's only thought seemed to

Married Friends.

I am persuaded that friendship ts
the basis of true marriage-the man
and woman must be able to get on to-
gether in the serenity Of natural COM
radeship without continuous rasp and
lar They must possess toward each
other the plain and elemental quail
ties Of confidence, loyalty and tender
ness; they must hold the same views
concerning the meaning OF life; each
must desire nothing SO much as the
welfare of the other; neither can have
aught which is not at the disposal OF
the other. Love there must be, In
deed, but not love alone, for love Is
of fiery essence and often fails to re-
suit in happiness either for the lover
or the loved. There is, I believe, an
Italian proverb, Love is a dagger tn
the heart" This could never be
said of friendship The very word
itself is synonym Of felicity. Many
husbands and wives, not without love,
fail of amity and dwell in hell be
cause they are not first of all friends.
Friendship Is the warp and wool OF
human oneness; love Is the dye and
pattern which make the fabric splen-
did-Exchange.

arm fight IN HOUSE
OVER THE MONEY BILL
ARE OPPOSED TO TWO FAIRS.
Friends of New Orleans Will Fight
the Administrations Plan.

Washington, D. CA brief confer
enCe was held by members of the
Louisiana delegation for the purpose
Of discussing the administrations plan
for two eXpoSit.ons in 1916 and how
10 defeat it. The representatives
compared notes and it was seen that
the California congressman have been
working for some time to get ind0rse-
ment for two fairs, as it has been
conceded that New Orleans has an
unaEswerable argument as to being
the logical po,nt for a single cele.
brati0n. Representative Kahn ap
preached General Estopinal and made
proposition to have both resolutions
taken up in the house and be con-
Sidered together. General Estopinai
Indignantly declined to enter into any
such agreement, saying that he was
for New Orleans and for one fair, and
that he would vigorously oppose any
request for unanimous consent or
for rule which would permit the San
Francisco resolution to come up. Mr.
Kahn asked the reason for the re,
fusal and the New Orleans congress,
man replied that he did not believe
that the people of the United States
would accept the two eXpoSitiOns
proposition, or that they would 90 in
any considerable numbers to Cali,
fornia. Mr. Kahn argued that within
100 miles of San Francisco there are
100000 people who will patronize an
exposition as long as it shall last.
Then" replied General Estop;nal,
"you propose to have local affair,
but we do not. We shall have an ex'
position on a national scale, which
will be attended by people from all
| over the United States and Central
America"
Not one of the advocates of an ex
position for New Orleans believes
that two could be handled success
fully. They think that there would
| be grave danger Of bankrupting both
| cities. But San Francisco would suf
fer more materially than New Or
leans, because Of the disadvantage in
location.

he climbed the fire escape and got
into the Gieteman parlor. He had to
cross couch on which slept Miss
Lena Berkenholtz, boarder. To
reach the bedroom where Gieteman
and his wife were asleep, he passed
another couch on which lay Miss
Berkenholtz's stepbrother, Samuel
StoItzberger.
Gratch was searching Gieteman's
trousers when Mrs. Gieteman awoke
and screamed. She leaped out of bed
and seized the man, and he at once
found her a powerful antagonist. En-
rsged more than frightened, Mrs. Gle
teman pursued the burglar into the
kitchen. There she seized the cuspt-
dor and began to belabor him over the
head and shoulders.
He broke away and made for the
fire escape at the window where Miss
Berkenholtz had been sleeping. Mrs.
Gieteman followed and seized his col
lar. Miss Berkenholtz and her broth
or had fed into Gieteman's room and
were trying to awaken him.
The burglar grappled with the wom-
an. Stoltzenberger handed her the
rolling pin and she dealt him several
heavy blows. He backed away to-
ward a window at the side Of the
yard. The rolling pin came down on
his law. With scream he plunged
headlong out of the window.
The body of the burglar was found
in the yard. An ambulance surgeon
said his neck was broken.

How One Senator Viewed the Comet

Though Adam Monroe Byrd has been
in four congresses, he made one OF
these mistakes the other day. Byrd
was making a tariff speech. He
comes from Mississippi, and, of
course, he thinks the present tariff is
about the worst bill that could have
been framed. He reached the wooden
schedule, and he went up and down
the aisle, directly addressing first one
member and then another. At length
he paused at a desk occupied by a
small man with a Van Dyke beard.
Byrd allowed to this small man that
the WOODEN schedule was vicious. The
small man nodded sympathetically.
Byrd pounded the small mans desk
vehemently.
knowing all the things l have said
to be true, why did you vote for this
schedule?" Byrd demanded Of the
small man.
L did not vote for it."
"You mean to tell this house that
you did not vote for the tariff billy
II do" said the small man.
Well" said Byrd, Il admire you
for your convictions"
Bv this time the house was split
