On His Monument.

Over the grave of her husband,
the man who was so terribly
whipped at Dycusburg, in Liv
lngston County, KY, with thorn
bushes by night riders during
the worst of the tobacco troubles,
Mrs. Henry Bennett has erected
a handsome monument, which
bears the inscription, Murdered
by Night Riders" Already the
news of the wording on the stone
has been sent broadcast, and
hundreds of people have been at
tracted to the spot to see it for
themselves. That 1T will arouse
the anger of the men who were
in the raid on Benefits place,
and that they will dynamite the
monument, is feared by many.
Bennett, who was an indepen-
dent tobacco dealer, was taken
from the bedside of his sick boy
one night and terribly beaten by
the night riders and his ware
house burned. The night riders
cut branches from thorn trees
and whipped Bennett with these,
his flesh being torn and mutilated
by the thorns, several of which
broke off in his back and face.
Several days after the raid, as he
was being shaved in a. barber
shop in Paducah, the barber felt
a hard substance in his cheek
and, extracting it, found if to be
a part of one of the thorns.
Bennett died several weeks
ago, and his friends claim that
his death was due directly to the
beating he had received at the
hands of the lawless band. They
say that Bennett never recovered
from the exposure, the effects of
the beating he received and the
shock to his nervous system, and
that his condition grew verse
from the time he was attacked
That his wife holds to this same
belief is amply evidenced by the
inscription she had engraved on
the monument she has erected to
his acknowledgements.

The Real Secret Of Tiiiness.

An exchange saws the real Sc
cret OF tidiness is to leava things
where they can be found by the
persons who require them, not to
hide them away in blotters aud
presses and drawers. A woman
should not 60 into mans study
and put all his papers indiscrim-
inately into package, or a receipt
ed bill into an eny elopa that he
lis sure to destroy. In a woman s
eye, every business paper is an
nIghtlp object which she con-
siders it her duty to dispose of,
and though she NAV hear the man
who is looking for it swearing
about its disappearance, she has
not the courage to come forward
and confess, but will Indignantly
deny that she ever tonched his
old papers. II he happens to
find it, she viii say, reproach-
fully, "Oh, is that what you was
making such a fuss about? You
should take better care of yonr
papers," Just as # he had no
right to a table, or corner where
he can spread things out to suit
himself. One Of the ways to
bring about q reformation is TO
teach the womenfolks to know u
business paper, or a dollar bill,
when they happen to see one, 1t
is but poor economy to leave such
knowledge out of her education.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps9

No, never. It's foolish to fear
a fancied evil, when there are
real and deadly perils to guard
against in swamps and marshes,
bayous, and lowlands. These
are the malaria germs that cause
ague, chllls and fever, weakness,
aches in the bones and muscles
and may induce deadly typhoid.
But Electric Bitters destroy and
cast out these vicious germs from
the blood. "Three bottles drove
all the malaria from my system,

ever since" Use this safe, sure
remedy only. SOC at City Drug

Caught in Own Trap.

A trap laid recently by Mar
field q. Conrad, one of the
wealthiest men in the state, and
his brother, in which they hoped
to catch the men, who last year
stole the body of Hatfield's year
old son from its grave in a GENE
terry at Great Falls, Mont, last
week resulted in the killing by
the Uonrads of Joseph HAMILTON,
former sheriff of Cascade county,
friend who was assisting the
brothers in their plan to capture
the grave robbers.
Recently Conrad was notified
his child's body would be retarn-
ed to him if 81 800 was left be-
side latern he would find burn
ing at a lonely spot on the Fort
Benton road.
Making up dummy" pack
age, the Conrads proceeded to
the place in an automobile, Ham
ilton was to follow on horseback
and take the grave robbers by
surprise.
Coming to a point where a
light was burning some distance
from the road, they dropped their
package of money and proceeded
on their way. About a mile
farther on they found the lanteAn
burning by the road side and
realized they had made mis-
take. Returning TO get the pack
age again they saw stopping over
it the figure of a man, who
Strengthened up with a gun in
his hand as they approached.

Life'S Lesson.

Whoever has any observation
or experience in the matter, must
have noticed what tedious oper
alton learning to read almost al
ways is, and we're it not for the
plant mind Of the child it would
be far more so. The brightest
and easiest taught children will
draw their words, make psuses
where there are none, an blum
der In various ways before they
acquire the ability to repeat the
words they have learned to form
sentence which has an intelli-
gent meaning to them. Much
persevering plodding is required
after that before they can get
the meaning IN one short page.
Is not this II ne OF the best of
us IN learning to read the stern
lessons of life? Are We not all
dull scholars when we come to in
terpret the meaning of the hard
discipline of sorrow and care
which falls to the lit Of the most
favored? Do we not learn slow
ly, and often through great trihu
latlon, the solemn teachings of
life2 And how many fail to
catch it at all, to whom each day
and week and year of their lives
mean no more than the discon-
nected words of the laundering
scholar means to him. Happy are
they who comprehend the true
meaning of the chapter of life.

An Unknown Tongue.

A young man just returned
from college was out cycling one
day, when suddenly he came to a
steep gradient. While he was
descending he lost control of his
machine and was thrown.
Two men came and found him
in that predicament. When
asked how 1t happened he re-
piled: swell, | came down that
decline with the greatest velocity
and lost my central gravity, and
was precipitated on the hard ma
cadamized road"
Away, lad, let him alone"
replied one of the men. "He's a
foreigner"

Ate Bread 1000 Years Old.

One of the oldest dinners ever
given was that in Brussels re.
Gently, of which guest says:
cat that dinner | ate apples
ripened more than eighteen hun
dred years ago; bread made from
wheat grown before the children
of Israel passed through the Red
Sea, and spread with butter
which was made when Elizabeth
was Queen; and | washed down
the repast with wine that was old
hundreds of years before Shake
speare was born"
This seems at first blush an in
credible story, but it appears
that the apples were from an
earthen jar taken from the ruins
of Pompeii; the wheat was taken
from chamber in one of the Py-
ramids; the butter from a stone
she'll in an old well in Scotland,
where for several centuries it
had lain in an eartben crock IN
ice water, while the wine was re
covered from an old vault in the
city of Corinth.

The World Goes On.

Man comes into this world
without his consent, aud leaves
it against his will. During his
stay on earth his time is spent in
one continuous round of contra.
ries and MISUNDERSTANDING by
the balance of the species.
In his infancy he is an angel !;
in his hoyhood he is a tough; in
his manhood he is a mes n citizen;
he discharges not his duties; if
he raises a family he is chump;
If he is poor manager he has no
sense; if he is a good manager
people laud him; if he is poor he
is not fit to associate with; if he
is rich some flock to him and
others say he is dishonest, but
considered smart; if he is a poll
tician you can't place him; If he
goes to church he is q hypocrite;
if he stays away from church he
is beyond redemption and the
DEVILS own; if he donates to
missions he does it for show; if
he doesn't he is stingy,
When he first comes into this
world everybody says he is so
sweet and all want to kiss him.
Before he dies he is ugly, no one
loves him and all want to kick
him.
Ii he dies young there was q
great future before him. If he
lives to a very old age he is in
the way.
II he marries young he is called
a young fool; il he marries after
forty he is an old fool. If he
spends his money he will die a
pauper; if he saves his money he
Is stingv.
Thus it goes. Life is rough
road at best to travel, and what.
ever is done or said there stands
the critic to make some temurk.

Sticks That Are VaIises.

Young men with smart spring
suits are asking themselves the
question, "Why have ys3r clothes

by buying the newest type of
walking stick this can be obviat-

This new stick, for which there
is a great demand in Londan is
capable of holding big variety
of articles. OF course, the sword
stick is now an old idea, but
there is now the matchbox. carry.
ing stick, the whistle carrier, the
pipe carrier and the cigarette
carrier. Thousands of the latter
were sold last year. The survey
or ont ON business need not
trouble about his measuring
stick, as the Surveyors stick, in
the middle of which is measure,
sees to all that, Malaccas and
milgirls are immensely popular
among Young men this season,
especially the latter, which, as
the name suggests, is an Indian
product.

Seeking the Best.

If we were but for single
day to seek to find good
points in the acts of those around
US, to let their little weakness
and failings fade into nothingness
in the shadow of our charity to
emphasize their best, to recog-
nize it, to appeal to it, to call it
forth and develop it, life would
seem very much different indeed
to ourselves and to them.

Life of the World.

There is a general and wide
spread notion, which the curious
investigator will find scattered
throughout both medieval and
modern literature, that the world
will last 6 900 years from the date
of It's creation. An inscription
in one of Martin Luther's books
reads as follows: "Elijah, the
prophet, said that the world had
existed 1000 years before the law
was given (from Adam to Moses).
would exist 1000 years under the
Mosaic law (from Moses to Christi
and 1000 years under the Chris
tian dispensation, and then it
would be burned"
In the Etrnrian account of the
creation (bv Suidas) there is a
similar tradition, 1.-THE Creator
spent 5000 years in creation, and
5000 more are allotted to the
earth"
In the black letter edition of
Foxes "Acts and Monuments"
1892 there Is a whole sermon
given with the 5000 year limit of
the earth's duration as a text.
Some writer's contend that the
"six days. referred to in Holy
Writ really mean 5000 years and
that the seventh day" is a type
of the coming millennium, or
Sabbath of thousand years."
The psalmist says, "For o thou
sand years are in thy sight as
yesterday" psalm xc, 4. See
also Ii Peter iii, 81.
