100000 Shy.

Frankfort, KY, July SIN
stead of being much larger than
for the previous year, as had
been expected by everybody, the
receipts of the State, from all
sources, for the fiscal year end
ing on June 80, 1910, were about
$181, 600 less than the receipts
for the fiscal year ending on June
80, 1909. This surprising condi-
ton was noted when the totals
in all departments were added up
in the office of Capt. Ed Farley,
State Treasurer. The receipts
for the year 1909 were Sc, 1885,
$4,000 while for 1910 the receipts
were $6,657, 597, 63.
This is accounted for in part
by the Auditors Office by the
statement that there is yet un-
collected as taxes on miscellane-
GUS corporations about $4,000,
which should be credited to 1910
and that many Of the banks are
also delinquent. Then, they say,
in 1909 the collection of 500, 900
from the Southern Pacific rail-
road swelled the total collections
for that year beyond the normal.

Lord Rronaham,s oratorx.

We have no orator in the least like
Lord Brougham since the close of
Brougham's public career. Everything
that nature could do, so far as ap-
pearance, manner and voice were con-
cerned, she had done to prevent him
from being a great orator; and yet, a
great orator he undoubtedly was
wonder what the house of lords just
now would think of peer who ges-
ticulated and beloved as Brougham
was in the habit of doing. But it was
impossible to listen to Brougham and
not be carried away by the force of
his intellect, by his torrent of words,
by the sudden whirl and eddy of his
rapid illustrations, and by the longer
and shorter stretches Of quietude and
repose into which his argument occa-
sionally flowed.-From Justin Mo
Carthy's "reminiscences.

He Is Still Inqulrlng.

Fourteen years ago, when Thomas
Cooper, living on farm two miles
from Lexington, Mich, was thirteen
years old, he began walking into the
town every day and asking for mail at
the post Office. Thomas is now twenty
seven years old, and he has not missed
one single week day in all those years.
Regularly every morning he has taken
the four-mile walk, and he is still at 1t.
It may also be stated that he has
not, up to this date, received a single
letter. but he is not discouraged. He
believes one will come for him some
day, even If 1t is only dunning let

SEWING Lace.

Always sew lace with fine thread
and never with silk, for the silk
stitches are very noticeable. This is
true, no matter how coarse the lace,
silk will not sink into a fabric as
thread will This is a sewing hint
given me recently by a prominent
dressmaker, who expressed herself as
tired to death" of seeing quite plain
ly where her friends had sewed their
lace chemisettes and. hatbrim trim
