the way it has been in the past
sixteen years and the number of
men who do their own thinking
and who vote without regard to
party emblems on local and State
issues is showing no signs of de-
crease.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee has so far seen fit to ig-
more these facts. 1t has decreed
that the choice of the primary
must depend for election on his
personal popularity, the chance
that a majority of the voters will
prefer the picture of the rooster
to that of the log cabin. Twenty
five or thirty years ago the COM
mittee's plan might have worked
admirably, in view of the fact
that Kentucky was then certain
to go Democratic, no matter what
else happened. But the politician
or party which proceeds on the
theory that Kentucky's people are
of the same way of thinking as
they were thirty years ago is in
a fair way to be walked up with
a shock after the election is over.
The rooster is a noble bird, but
it's too much to expect him to
hatch out Democratic Governors.

large eagle recently at their
home on Dry Branch pike abOIt
5 miles from town. They had gone
to the pasture to drive up the
sheep for the night, and were
astonished to find an eagle at
work on the carcass of lamb
which it had evidently killed. The
bird was so large that they were
afraid to modest it and started the
flock Of sheep toward the barn,
but the eagle seemed to resent
the taking away of his quarry as
his appetite was evidently not
satisfied, and he left his feast
and flew over the flock of sheep
several times almost lighting a.
mong them. Then he would rise
and fly toward the men, some
times only four or five feet above
them. When this had occurred
some four or five times, the eagle
showing very plainly that he did
not intend to let the flock of
sheep go without a fight, the
young men hurried to the house
and secured a shot gun. On their
temperance in the pasture the
eagle with shrill cry rose in
the air and darted toward them
when Hosier fired and the king
of the air fell dead at his feet.
They believe that the eagle
would have attacked them but
for the lucky shot. Several lambs
have been missed from their
flock of late and they have been
much puzzled about the mysteri-
GUS disappearance until Sunday
afternoon when they saw the
eagle for the first time. He had
evidently been preying on the
flock for several weeks. In Bour- !

The Democratic Rooster.
Saws the Leitchfeld Gazette:

Says the Leitchfield Gazette:
"While the people want good
men to fill the Offices, they want
to know what a man stands for
before they vote for him. You
can no longer depend upon the
majority of those who have affil-
lated with the Democratic party
in the past to vote for man
simply because his name is found
un Ter the rooster. If the 50 called
leaders of the party think so, they
had better change their minds be-
fore it is everlastingly and eter-
nally too late. "
Such party leaders as are inclin

for eight of the past sixteen years
the Governors chair at Frankfort
has been filled by a Republican,
and that a beggarly majority of
some three thousand in 1900 was

When mama dear was just girl
Her hair was black with many curl;
She then was always blythe and gay
And merry as living Fay;
Like Milo Venus she was fair
Her equal was not any where;
She laughed and sang from morn till
dark
As merry as a singing lark.
But days passed on and would not stay
And several years soon passed away;
And ma had to woman grown
AS gentle, kind, as ever known;
Though very poor her sympathy
Reached out to all humanity;
No beggar passed her open door
But what she'd share her little store;
And though her health was far from
good
She worked and worked whene'er she
could.
Though many women this would dread
Ma worked to earn her daily bread;
And not content when this was done
She'd educate her only son.
And thus she'd worked for many years
Nor shirked her task when it brought
tears
My education s not the best
But don't you think that ma needs
rest?
For days come on and will not stay
And months and years soon pass away
Mas reached the day that many breads
Mid raven locks are silver threads;
Those silver threads, my story's told
For mother dear is growing old.

a different view from that taken
by other army officers who have

Reau Brummell of the house. during
the hot days of the extra session car
ries a gun and hates 'niggah" with
equal grace and persistency.
A few years ago Mr.. Heflin was re-
turning from the capitol when he saw
a negro insult a white woman on the
street car in which he was riding. In
the rumpus which followed Mr.. Hef-
fins none too gentle remonstrance
the southern Hotspur drew his gun.
The negro jumped to the street and
took to his heels, whereupon Mr..
Hefin opened fire and sent a bullet
through the leg Of an unoffending
bookmaker who was standing in front
of the st. James hotel wondering
whether the race track at Benning
would stay closed forever. The book
maker recovered, Mr.. Hef1in paying

WEALTH OF WISCONSIN.
Several Important Points at Which
She Leads All the States.

Wisconsin has become practically
the leading dairy state Of the Union,
its title to the leadership being dis
puted only by New York. with, ac-
cording to the Farmers and Drovers'
Journal, the chances in Wisconsin's
favor.
The output of dairy products has in
creased from nothing a few years ago
to $7S,O00,OOO in 1910. One-half Of all
the cheese factories in the United
States are located in Wisconsin.
1t is already one of the foremost of
all states in the production per acre
of various grains, grasses and vege-
tables, and it is rapidly coming to the
front in the production of fruit, es-
pecially apples and cherries.
According to the figures of the Crop
Reporter, issued by the department Of
agriculture, among the twenty-five
states producing 25.OOO,OO0 bushels or
more of corn during the ten year pc
riod ended 1910. Wisconsin stands
fifth, the leading state. Ohio, exceeding
Wisconsin by only "a bushels an acre.
Indiana by 1.5, Illinois by 1.S and
Pennsylvania by IL.
Among the nine states producing
1000, 900 bushels or more of barley
during the ten year period ended 1870
without irrigation, Wisconsin stands
first.
Among the sixteen states growing
10, 900, 900 bushels or more Of oats dur
ing the ten year period ended 1910,
without irrigation, Wisconsin stands
first.
Among the seven states producing
more than 100000 bushels of spring
wheat during the ten year period end
ed 1910, without irrigation. Wisconsin
stands first.
Among the eight states producing
10, ,OOO, 900 bushels of potatoes or more
during tht ten year period ended 1910,
Wisconsin stands second, led only by
state using an immense amount of
commercial fertilizer.
In the unsettled, unoccupied regions
Of Wisconsin, heretofore considered
only as field for the operations of
lumbermen, are hundreds of thousands
of acres of lands, with a rich, fertile
soil, ample rainfall, pure drinking we
ter and a geographical location that
cannot be surpassed as far as ease nf
reaching the big central markets is
concerned, and these rich lands, lying
right at the door of Chicago, are cry
ing aloud for settlers, dairymen. far
mers, livestock breeders and feeders.

REMARKABLE SLEEPERS.
A Laborer's Seventeen Weeks Nap
Man Who Preached In His Sleep.


The counterpart Of Mr.. wardle's fat
boy has just been charged at Willes-
den police court with sleeping out.
The missionary said the boy was born
he appeared to be doing and only re-
piled to the questions put to him by
suspicious nod and with closed eyes,
He was remanded in order that a ship
might be found for him. presumably in
the hope that life on the ocean wave
might succeed in waking him up. 1t
may be that the boy will develop into
one of the remarkable sleepers Of
whom many records remain.
Margaret Lyall of Denniland, in the
parish of Maryton, three miles from
Montrose, went to sleep on Wednes-
day, June 12, 1912, and did not wake
up for two days. She went to sleep
again on July and slept until August
Of giddiness, but had no recollection
of having been blistered, bled and i'm
mersed in cold water. She merely
thought she had had long night.
There is also the French case Of
Elizabeth Arten Of ST. Guillain, near
Mons, who in 1888. when 36 years Of
age, fell asleep for four days, and
shortly after waking went off to sleep
again for eighteen hours. For the
succeeding five years she slept regu-
larly from o'clock in the morning
until 9 o'clock at night. In 1748 she
was prevented by the ague from sleep
ing for five weeks. In one Of her re-
riodical fits Of sleeping needles Were
thrust into her flesh, pieces of burn
ing rag applied to her nose and pins
placed under her fingernails; she was
even whipped, but nothing could
awaken her.
Samuel Chiffon Of Tinsbury near
Bath, a robust, stout laboring man.
25 years Of age, fell into a profound
sleep on May 13, 1894, from which he
could not be awakened for a month,
when he suddenly arose and went on
with his work. He did not, however,
regain the power of speech until an
other month had passed On April 10,
1896, he had another sleeping At. An
apothecary bled, blistered and applied
a number of external irritants, but to
no purpose.
He was artificially fed for ten weeks,
when his jaws became set, and could
not be opened even with instruments.
He slept for seventeen weeks; then he
suddenly awoke, dressed and walked
about the room under the impression
that he had only slept for one night.
His next attack lasted from August
II, to November 16, 1897. He went off
to sleep again almost Immediately af-
ter waking, and did not wake up again
until the beginning of the following
February.
Very curious was the case of Simeon
Watson, a hard working, industrious
man, aged about 80. of athletic hab-
it's and active temperament, who about
1926 began preaching in his sleep. His
trance or sleeping fit invariably last
ed as long as the ordinary Noncon-
formist service, which he was in the
habit Of attending. The attacks be-
came more frequent as time went on,
and he would go through the whole OF
the ordinary service, praying, reading
the Bible and preaching.-London
