federate army, where he was captain.
Following the Inauguration cere-
monies, which were he'd in font of
the capitol, the new building which
the state has just been completed at
a cost Of $2.0O0,0OO was thrown
open to the visitors and public re-
ception was held by the newly
elected state officials. For two hours
long line of men and women passed
by the new governor, shaking hands
with him and congratulatipg him on
his election. Gov McCreary has a
remarkable memory for names and
faces and he called almost every man
by name as he shook hands with
him.
Gov. McCreary has been one of
the most honored of Kentuckians. He
was elected governor of this state
in 1876, his opponent at that time
being the late Justice John NJ Har-
Ian. During that campaign, the can
didates engaged in joint debate,
speaking from the same stump for
two months, but no bitterness ever
crept into the speeches ard there
was never the usual indulging in
personalities. Gov. McCreary served
several terms in congress from the
eighth district, after which he went
out of office as governor and was
elected United States senator for one
term.

GET THE RIGHT CAR.
Laura Jean Libbey. the writer. beinI

Laura Jean Libbey. the writer. being
interviewed on marriage. says;
Marriage is like running for the
street car You run and you run. You
get very much excited and out OF
breath Then when you have caught
the car you sit down In your seat and
you are not excited any more. You
are just quiet and satisfied"
The simile is an apt one.
The undue haste of many modern
marriages Is fifty compared with a
breathess run after the street car
both unnecessary.
Look at them
Here Is one who has barely reached
the platform Of the matrimonial rapid
on the wrong car While he makes a
great fuss about it, another, having
made like discovery. quietly drop,
off at the next stop
"Quict and satisfied"
Why. some of these get-married-
quick passengers have ridden scarce,
ly a block before they discover their
mistake and even before they pay
their fare-demand transfer!
And the conductor grants It,
Some Of the matrimonial tourists do
not even wait for the car to stop. but
tumble off pell nell. spelling their
tempers and tearing their regulations,
atfording ireXtinguishable laughter to
the gods of matrimonial misrule.
And some-these are mostly women
passengers-get off backward.
Many Of the marry-in-haste fares
turn into grUmbling strap holders, who
will not be either quiet or satisfied.
Even when provided with fair ac.
commodationS they continue to find
fault with the schedules or the road
bed or the ventilation.
And once in awhile a rash individ
ual blankly refuses to pay the fare and
Is incontnently shovelcd off
And yet
For one who refuses to pay or finds
fault or jumps off what lot Of happy
passengers travel the line
These are they who waited for the

Why run for the car?
