WHEN IS A MAN AT HIS BEST7
Line Is Being Pushed Further Back
and He Who Is Past Fifty Need
Not Be Ashamed Of Ii.

When is a man best intellectually
and physically? The answer was thus
stated by a witty physician: Most
men are no good at their best" There
is no rule for the extraordinary man.
That Cato learned Greek at eighty af-
fords no criterion. There is no meas
ure for Napoleons; Lincoln defies the
rules, and no school or method of in
struction-not even by correspondence
will certainly teach the full measure
OF the patriotism that characterized
Washington.
When is the average man at his
best? That depends a good deal upon
what is required Of him. A prize fight
er is old at thirty; most counselors-at-
law are youthful at fifty, and for the
ordinary pursuits every man Is en-
titled to his guess" and there shall
be no decision. But it is certain that
the dead line is being pushed further
and further back upon age. Men are
learning how to live; the comforts
OF life are more easily attainable; sci
ence intervenes in mans behalf, and
the man who has passed fifty need
not be ashamed of his years. because
ne may see for himself that there
is a place for him by simply regard
ing the men long past that age who
are actually carrying on the worlds

First Telescope.

Very few people are aware that the
first practical chesapeake one
which Calico used in discovering the
satellites Of Jupiter in January.
1910, is still in existence and pre-
served at the Museum of Physics and
Natural History in Florence. It ia
about 800 years ago since the instru-
ment was first turned toward the
heavens Unlike the present astro-
mical type. 1t had concaye instead OF
convex cyepiece, just like the orera
glasses now in use. When Calico
first exhibited his new telescope to
the doge and an enthusiastic assem-
bly,, he was overwhelmed with hon.
ors, because 1t was thought that the
instrument would give the soldiers
and sailors of the republic great adj
vantage over their enemies. Strand

A COURSE OF DINNERS.

It Includes Roasted Peas as a Substi-
tute For Coffee.
In little book called The Econom-
ical Housekeeper," published about the
year 1910, there is given On one page
"a Course of Dinners For Week"
AT the time of its publication the little
book was most popular. as is proved
by the authors preface to the second
revised edition. She says:
Encouraged by the very favorable
reception that our humble labors have
met in the rapid sale Of the first edi
ton Of $500 copies in about fifteen
weeks, and the demand still continu-
ing, we have improved the time by en-
deayoring to make the present edition
more worthy Of patronage, if possible.
than the first"
Therefore it is probable that the
course of dinners" which follows was
considered admirable at that time:
"Monday-Tea, coffee or cocoa, with
mincemeat. bread and butter in win
ter, bread and milk in summer.
'Tuesday-Boiled dish, with apple
dumplings.
dnesday-Roasted or baked meat,
with bread pudding.
Thursday-Broiled steak or fresh
fish, with baked rice pudding.
"Friday-Baked beans. with baked
Indian pudding.
"Saturday-Salt Goldfish boiled. with
apple pie.
"Sunday-Morning hashed fish and
coffee; noon, bread and butter, cheese,
pie, doughnuts."
1t is a suggestive paragraph which
appears on the same page:
"Peas, roasted and ground. are an
excellent substitute for coffee, and you
would hardly know which is best

DEMOCRATS MAKE GAINS.
Results as Shown in the Districts
Throughout Kentucky.

Frankfort, Ky.-Democrats scored
sweeping victories all over Kentucky
at Tuesdays election.
The net result of the election was
nine Democratic congressman out of
II, and the election of all four of the
Democratic candidates for the court Of
appeals.
After the battle of ballots it was
shown that the Democrats had made
a gain Of one congressman, w. j.
Fields, in the Ninth district, who made
a remarkable race against Congress
man J. B. Bennett, the Republican op-
ponent.
In the First district Congressman
Ollie NJ. James, Democrat, was re-
elected by an old-time majority, his
only opponent being Socialist.
The Second district, by an increased
majority, returned to Congress A. o.
Stanley, of Henderson.
One of the surprising races was that
made by Congressman r. Y. Thomas,
jr., in the Third district, who defeated
w. H. Jones, his Republican opponent,
by 1924 majority.
The most remarkable race ran III the
state was made by Congressman Ben
Johnson. in the Fourth district, who
carried every county against DR.. Cad
die, Republican, receiving an unpreced-
dented majority Of over 5000.
In the Fifth district Congressman
Swager Sherley, Democrat, goes back
to Congress, having defeated his Re,
publican opponent, Judge Wheeler Nc
Gee, by majority of nearly 1000.
The Seventh district, after one of
the hardest fights in the state, returns
to congress j. Campbell Cantrill, Dem
ccrat, by about 5000 majority over M.
c. Rankin, Republican.
Harvey Helm, Democrat, made a
runaway race in the Eighth district,
easily defeating Hugh Miller, Repub-
lican.
In the Tenth district A. Floyd Byrd,
Democrat, made gallant fight against
great odds, but was unable TO over
come the big lead of J. w. Langley,
Republican, who is sent back to the
next congress.
While the Eleventh district was con-
ceded to Caleb Powers, Republican,
the Republican majority was greatly
reduced by Eliza Bertram, the Demo
cratic candidate, who ran a most sur
prising race in this stronghold of Re.
publicanism.
The Democrats made clean sweep
Of the four appellate districts in which
elections were held for Judge of the
court of appeals.
Judge Shackelford Miller won over
r. w. Bingham, Republican, in the
Fourth, or Louisville, district by ma
jority of about 1900.
In the Sixth district Judge John M.
Lassing ran remarkable race, easily
defeating Judge Tomlin, Republican,
by about $500 votes.

Nineteenth Century and After. An
hour before sunrise shadowy figures
move noiselessly through the narrow

ment Food time generally brightens
people even when 1t only means rice

sign of life ceases. There is no light In
the houses, because Oil is expensive,
and dying fire is enough when there
is nothing to see except those you have
seen all day; there are no sounds, save
a baby's cry at intervals, or perhaps
the weird call of some night bird. be-
cause people cannot talk much when
no one has anything fresh to say.
Next day will be the same. and SO will

is no church, no postman, no passing
horse or carriage and no newspapers.

In the appellate judge race in the
Fourth district between Shackelford
Miller, Dem, and R. w. Bingham, Flu
sion, is close, both sides claiming vic
tory. 1t may require the official count
to decide the contest.
Judge Warren E. Settle, Jr., DEM,
Bowling Green, is reelected appellate
Judge in the Second district by 1900.
Judge J. T. Num-, Dem, Marion, is
reelected in the First, without opposi-
ton.
There was a woeful lack Of interest
taken in the election and the smallest
.ote in years seems to have been cast.
The win for Judge Settle is taken as
a victory for the "non-partisan bench
idea, as many Republicans advised
against opposition TO him, as he had
never considered politics on the bench.
He reversed the Judgment in the Ca
leb Powers cases, giving him re-trials.
There was never any doubt about
Congressman Shirleys reelection, as
he is regarded the leader CT the Ken
lucky delegation and is very popular
personally.
The serious charges made against
Congressman Campbell Cantrill in the
Seventh District and the bitter oppo.
sition to him by the Burley Tobacco
organization gave the independent
voters hope that NJ. c. Rankin, the
Republican candidate, would win. In
the closing days of the campaign the
Republicans deserted Rankin because
he put no enthusiasm into the cam
paign and did not take the stump
Rankin may have something TO say
later about the conduct of his cam
paign. Rankin carried three counties
in the district-something wonderful

timated to be elected by 5000 ma
jority over c. l.. Horney, the Socialist
nominee. Judge T. j. Num-, Demo
crat, of Madisonville, had no opposi-
ton for the appellate court. The vote
was very light. In Paducah the Dem
ocrats elected the aldermanic and
councilmanic boards, and the Repub-
licans elected three of the eight school
trustees. The bond issue for a new
