JUDGE O'Rear As a Demagogue.

Each day reveals Judge O'Rear as
the most aren't demagogue that
ever sought high office in this State.
Timing his contentious to suit The
particular locality in which he hap
pens to be, he appeals to any class or
prejudice that promises to secure
him votes. He does not hesitate to
champion any cause, II by doing so
he can further his political interests.
On last Tuesday. he began tour
of the Eleventh District. and as he
left the railroad and rode deeper in
to the mountains, he found a new
text. At Manchester. in Clay coun.
ty. he said to his audience:
by the vilest SANDER ever regist-
cred against the people. they have
branded you as ignorant. red.handed
feudists, and have said: 1T does not
matter what we do to them"
Judge 0'Rear does not say who
has circulated this SANDER on the
mountain people. but his intimation
Is. that it had political origin. and
that he, as the Republican nominee,
comes to defend them and proclaim
their virtues to the world.
There is lawlessness in the mount
aims. just as there is in the lowlands.
ia town and city. No fair person
blames the mountain people as a
class, for it is we'll known that their
quarrels are exaggerated and given
prominence by yellow newspapers
who conceal the law-breaking in their
own midst.
No part of the State is growing so
rapidly as the whole mountain Sec
ton. and its development is due to
the enterprise of some Democrats
and Republicans who have faith in
its future and have backed their
judgment with their moneyand en-
ergy.
1t is fair for Judge O'Rear to try
to play upon the passions of these
mountain people to gain few votes.
He bears them ne greater friendship
or affection than Governor Nc
Creary, who has always been their
friend and neighbor, and whose sup
porters are among those who have
done more to bring Eastern Ken
lucky favorably before the world
then all other influences combined.
Judge O'Rear. in his role as a
demsgogue, has played many parts,
but the last one he has essayed is the
most discreditable of all.-Exchange.

q Sixth Sansa.

An Interesting discussion arose at a
secent college lecture concerning the
'instinct Of direction possessed so
maryelously by savage races and by
animals. Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent. In the case OF
humans it is different, and some OF
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able to end his way in the
densest forest without taking note Of
the sun, the wind, the lay Of the land
or the course Of the streams. There
fore it was said he must be guided by
a sixth sense because none Of the reg
ular five senses could aid him. Other
pupils, however, argued that the In
dian found bis way in places where
there were no apparent guides be-
cause he knew how. because he had
learned all his life how to do 1t, just
as The writer, for instance, will write

7 Sar and Gar

Frequently the inquiry is made az
70 why the spelling tsar, to designate
The emperor OF all the Russias, should
be preferred 70 car The most nat
ural and obvious answer is that the
spelling indicates the Russian pronun-
ciaticn Of the word. which cZar does
not. The title comes from an old
Slavonic word. which some authorities
are agreed is not derived from the
Latin caesar. but there are authori-
ties who hold that its ultimate deriTa-
ton is from the Roman The origin
Of the common spelling IS supposed
to be the writings Of Herberstein,
about 1850. The letter ''c'' In Roman
Slavonic has the sound Of rs" The
letter was copied but the sound was

Fiction or History.

After all, fiction is not always the
worst place in which to look for his
tory. There is story of Mr. Dlsraeh
at the time Of his extremely bumptu-
Gus youth when he had just returned
from his travels in the east. AS e
young man, much. under thirty, he
met Lord Melbourne, who was then
prime minister, at dinner. Lord Mel
bourne proceeded to discourse on the
eastern question, but instead Of listen

Warming the Eggs.

There was once an cid lady-in Scot
land who kept a few hens. AS sne
lived close to the house in which a
church minister lived he asked her to
send him two new laid eggs every
morning and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every moning with
two eggs, and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were. newly
laid because they felt quite warm, as
if they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold, so
the servant asked: "Are the eggs fresh
today, Janey? They do not seem
warm
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said, "Ou, aye, they're quite
fresh, only my mother could not ger
the cat to sit on them this morning,

..,efs.rso, Davis and His Nerves.


Jefferson Davis shrank from the
sight OF every form Of suffering, even
- imagination When the Babes In
the WOOD was first read to him, q
grown man, in time Of illness, he
would not endure the horror Of it.
His sympathy with the oppressed was
almost abnormal, $50 that says MIS-.
Davis, 'it was a difficult matter to
keep order with children and serv-
ants" AL this shows that he was
nervous, sensitive, which is a terrible
handicap to a leader Of men. he suf-
fered always from nervous dyspepsia
and neuralgia and "came home from
his Office fasting, mere mass Of
throbbing nerves and perfectly ex-
hausted." He was keenly susceptible
to the atmosphere about him, especial
ly to the moods Of people, abnormal
y sensitive to disapproval. Even .
child's dsapproval discomposed him"
And Mrs. Davis admits that this SEN
sitveness and acute feeling Of being
misjudged made him reserved and IN
app1oachable. It made him touchy as
to his dignity also, and there are sto-
ries Of his cheEshing grudge for
some Insignificant or imagined sight

Locating lceberss.

The captain Of an ocean steamer IN
most cases finds out when his vessel
IS approaching an iceberg from the
men down in the engine room. That
sounds queer, but it is fact never
theless. It appears that when
steamship enters water considerably
colder than that through which 1t has
been going its propeller runs faster.
Such water usually surrounds the vlcl-
mage Of icebergs for many miles.
When the prope1ler's action therefore
is accelerated WITHOUT the steam pow
er being increased word is passed up
