HARD SUBJECT FOR A MORAL
Charles Dudley Warmers Pertinent
and Amusing observations on
Human Boy.

Of course the perfectly good boy
will always prefer to work and to do
"chores" for his father and errands
for his mother and sister rather than
enjoy himself in his own way. /
never saw but one such boy. He
lived in the town of Goshen-not
the place where the butter is made,
but much better Goshen than that.
And l never saw him, but l heard Of
him; and being about the same age,
as l supposed, / was taken once from
zoah, where 1 lived, to Goshen to
see him. But he was dead. He had
been dead almost year, SO that it
was impossible to see him. He died
Of tine most singular disease; it was
from not eating green apples in tho
season of them.
This boy, whose name was Solo
mon, before he died, would rather
split up kindling-wood for his moth
sr than go a-fshing. The conse-
quence was that he was kept at
splitting kindling-wOod and such
work most of the time, and grew a
better and more useful boy day by
day. Solomon would not disobey
his parents and eat green apples
not even when they were ripe enough
to knock off with a stick-but he
had such a longing for them that he
pined and passed away. If he had
eaten the green apples he would have
died of them, probably; SO that this
example is difficult to follow. In
fact, boy is a hard subject to get a
moral from. All his little playmates
who ate green apples came to Solo,
mons funeral, and were very sorry
for what they had done.-Charles
Dudley Warner.

Hopeful Sian.

That the war on tuberculosis pays
immediate dividends in human life
is proved by report of DR.. Bosley,
health commissioner of Baltimore. In
the monthly health bulletin for July
it is shown that the number Of deaths
from tuberculosis occurring in the city
was go, as compared with 1923 for the
same month last year. DR.. Bosley says
that he attributes the decrease in the
number of deaths to the educational
campaign that those interested in the
fight against the white plague" are
making. The interest of the public
has been aroused" he declares, "and
there is general tendency on the
part of the people to heed the warn.
ings and to observe the hygienic rules
being promulgated" In ten years, Il
the present progress is kept up, Dr.
Bosley believes that tuberculosis will
be stamped out.

STIRRED UP woMEN's WRATH
Hardware Satire on Prevalent styles
In Millinery Brought Shock to
Femininity.

"1t's perfectly horrid, and ought
to be stopped" So spoke a woman
who saw in a shop window a carica-
ture Of her hcadgear. TIE creation
that had called down such anathcma
was an inverted elliptical wooden
chopping bowl, applique with rome
and trimmed with small feather
buster nattily placed on the north
northwest corner. The idea Of this
satire upon feminine millinery orig
mated with a workman. His en-
ployer saw the value of the proposed
advertisement, and a model was pro-
cured for the center of the window.
On her waxen head they perched
the browning triumph in hardware
headgear, fearfully and wonder
fully constructed chapeau of rope,
decorated with fringed ends Of the
same, and two large screw-driver
hatpins. Everybody laughed, and
the crowd about the window thick
ened. All the new millinery shapes
were shown in guaranteed hard
ware" and the display was the talk
Of the town-the said town being

Gently one woman said that Ameri-
can children have the worst man
ners in the world, and she might
have added that their mothers are to
blame for it, says writer. In the
street cars mothers frequently give
evidence of the fact that they are
not teaching their children the SIM
plest elements of good manners, al
lowing them to occupy whole seats
while others stand and to sprawl
over the unfortunate persons who
may have to sit near them. These
children may be very polite in their
homes, but they show remarkable
ability in concealing the fact in
public.

First Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets its name from the
mass celebrated in the early DAYS OF
the Christian hurch in honor OF
the borth OF Christ, its first solemn
ization having been ordered by Pope
Telesphorus. This was in or be-
fore the year 1913, for in that year
Pope reesphorus died.
At first Christmas was what is
known as a movable feast, just as
Easter is now, and owing to mis-
understandings was celebrated as
late as April or May. In the fourth
century an ecclesiastical investiga ton
was ordered, and upon the author
ity of the tables OF the censors III
the Roman archives December 25th
was agreed upon as the date of the
Savior's nativity. Tradition fixed
the eour of His birth at about mid
night, and this led 10 the Zebra

churches, a second at dawn and a
third in the later morning at ten

JUDGE SAMPSON FOR
CIRCUIT JUDGE.

The people throughout the
county, and so far as we can learn,
throughout the district, hail with
delight the announcement of
Judge Elem ID. Sampson for the
Circuit Judgeship of this the 34th
Judicial District of Kentucky.
Judge Sampson is a lawyer of
well known ability, and his fair
dealings with his fellow man has
won for him the confidence, es-
TEEN and respect of everyone,
and now that they have an OPP
portunity to honor him by eleva-
ting him to this exalted position,
they stand ready and waiting to
cast their votes for him.
Judge Sampson is of a gener-
Gus hearted disposition and was
never known to refuse to aid de-
serving ones when called upon,
and his public spiritedness has
caused him to contribute liber-
ally to every enterprise that has
come this way.
Both of our colleges have re-
ceived a generous subscription
from him, as we'll as every church
in the town has been materially
aided by his liberality.
Such men as Judge Sampson
deserve recognition and when he
is elected, as he doubtless will
be, he will stand as high, so far
as legal qualifications go, as any
Judge in the State.
Knox is lining up solidly for
Judge Sampson and is expecting
whitley to join with her in max
ing his nomination unanimous.

The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries

regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally Of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time 10 improve the methods of

Cheaper TO Live

Someone who takes rosy view
of life, gets off the following:
There are men who argue that
living is high, but they might try
dying. A live man gets shaved for
ten cents but dead one pays dol
lar and never kicks. A good kersey
overcoat cost S25, but a wooden
one costs 500. A grave digger will
plant potatoes for twenty cents an
hour, but for planting you he gets
tour times as much. A carriage to
he theatre costs 50, but one to the
cemetery cost S.. A saloon keeper
will fill your hide 10 bursting for so
cents, but an embalmer gets 81 90
for the Job. Come TO think OF II
there are lots of things lett TO live
for in this world despite the high
prices and the contrary weather. -
