1t is said there is a ''joker' in

Mr.. Moffat are so anxious for the
state to drive at an expense of

railroad use and the carrying OF
water from the Western to the
Eastern Slope. In most of these

Denver has Jailed one of its horde
of clairvoyants for fraud. This one
"saw" advances in stock markets
and sold tips. We knew of another
one some years ago, who found
young girl who was possessed of
several thousand dollars. She talked
to her until interested, then went in
to a trance and saw rich gold mines
in one of the state parks. Imme-
diately she had a surveyor go up
and locate placer claims, of no val
ue whatever, but she sold them to
the girl and robbed her of her
money. A girl or boy with some
money and no experience, had as

sary. Frequently the dresses made
for Queen Mary are trimmed with
priceless lace and embroideries sup
piled from the collection ut Bucking-
ham palace. In such cases after the
gowns have served their purpose the
trimmings are removed to do service
again. In no case are these trimmings
sold with the dresses.
Queen Mary has been known to wear
the same dress as many as twenty five
times. On an average dresses remain
in the royal wardrobe about six
months, and during that time they are
worn probably eighteen times each,
although the frequency of their use
varies great deal, according to the
nature of their material and style, and
thus a walking dress would be worn
more often than an evening gown.
The clothes of the queen are in
charge of a dressing maid and two as
sistants, called dreSsers, and are kept
In great apartment adjoining the
queens bedchamber, known as the
roberoOm. The walls are lined with
enormous wardrObes, some containing
the state robes and others her ma
jesty's ordinary gowns and dresses.
One of the ladies of the bedchamber
sends card in the evening to the
dressing maid, giving particulars of
the dresses that will be worn by the
queen on the following day. After each
dress is entered the hour ut which it
must he ready and laid out in the
dressing room. The system is simpii-
fed by the numbering of every cos
tune in her majesty's extensive ward
robe and any reference TO them is
made by number.
Twice Il year Queen Mary personally
goes over her wardrobe and throws
out the dresses she no longer wishes to
retain. Those discarded are disposed
of in two ways: Il small number are
given to the dressing mistress and her
assistants, but the great majority are
sold to dress agency.
The selling of the queens old dresse,
is conducted by the dressing mistress
who is given the widest discretion in
the matter. There is one condition
however. that is always insisted upon
under no circumstances are the dresses
of the queen TO be resOld in England
by the agency buying them.

Queen Mary
Wears
$50 Dresses

~ NGLAND has an questionable
queen. While King George
- affects the latest modes, the
tastes of his queen In matters
OF dress are those of thrifty house
wife with little to spare on personal
adornment. Her hats as well as her
gowns are transformations.
Some of the more simple dresses In
her majesty's wardrobe cost not more
than the equivalent of $50. That IS
not to say that they are made Of
cheap material On the contrary. the
queen always insists that no matter
how low priced the dress supplied to
her 1t must contain no imitation ma
terial. Everything must be the best
Of its kind.
Usually Queen Mary orders several
gowns at the same time in order that
she may not waste time. Word Is
sent to the establishment she intends
to patronize telling the manager that
the queen will call at such and such a
time on such and such day. A gen.

In some cases dressmakers are COM

Electric Line.

A special from Lexington says
The new corporation which was recent
ly organized in the East to absorb the
Lexington street car line, and the var
ious interurban trolley lines radiating
from this city, formally took possess
ion yesterday when articles incorporat-
ing the three present traction interests
in and about the city into the new cor
poration of the Kentucky Traction and
Terminal Company were filed in the
Office of the County Clerk.
The new corporation takes over the
entire business Of the three companies
which it consolidates, assuming all
liability for their contracts and the
deal is acknowledged by the majority of
all parties in interest and becomes
effective at once.
The capital stock of the companies
consolidating amount to the sum of
81, 925, 600 and the capital stock of the
new corporation is two and one half
million dollars.
The new corporation commenced its
corporate existence on this date, May II,
1911, and is to continue for a term of
1879 years, the limit of corporate IN
debtedness which it may assume be-
ing not in excess of the sum of
SIS, 900, 900.
The new corporation is consolida-
ton of the Lexington Railway Com
pany with capital stock of $500, 900;
the Blue Grass Traction Company,
witf>a capital stock of 500, 90, and the
Central Kentucky Traction Company,
with capital stock of $425, 900.
That extensions of the present in
teruban systems are contemplated is
indicated in the articles of incorpora-
ton, which contain provisions for the
extension of the present lines and the
building of new lines to adjacent towns
and cities. The right to construct a
line to Winchester, and through Win
chester to Mt. Sterling; line to Rich
mond; to extend the present Frankfort
line to Lawrenceburg, Shelbyvllle and
Owenton; the Paris line to Cynthiana;
the Nicholasville line to Lancaster and
through there to Danville, and from
there to Harrodsburg are all included
in the privileges claimed under the new
charter.
The total mileage authorized by the
articles amount to about $50 miles and
there has already been subscribed and
paid in more than $3.50 per mile on the
fatal mileage mentioned in the articles,
they state.

AT Least Paint The Court House.

1t seems to be out of the question to
be continually urging that the court
house be repaired and be placed in a
safe and sanitary condition, as there
seems to be no indication Of anything
being done along this line in the near
future. Probably should the people
awake some morning to find the struct-
ure in ashes and their records destroy
ed they would then realize the fact
that they had been penny wise and
pound foolish. Did you ever stop to
think what your position would be if
you had never had the deed to your
property recorded and it should be
lost or destroyed and all the parties tC
it were dead, this would be your exact
position should the court house burn,
only worse, for both deed and record
would burn, the present vaults would
not protect them against fire. Every
title in Garrard county would be cloud
ed, but we have preached the neces-
sity of repairing the court house until
patience has ceased to be a virtue.
What we now want is to suggest
that the members of the Fiscal Court
at least give the old structure coat
of paint, regild the face of the clock
and make it look little more present
able, even if it is not what it should be
from other standpoints. 1t has beer
many years since the court house was
painted, and it certainly does need it,
and the paint on the faces Of the clack
has scaled and dropped off until the
figures are almost obliterated.
The court house is naturally very
attractive building to the eye and il
would surely be an economic act as
well as one of justice to give it nice
fresh coat of paint.

is not contrary to law, but the extent
to which it is being practised should
make it so, and the citizens of Boyle,
