When Two 7ainbows Are Seen.

When two rainbows are some
times seen at once, one outside the
other, the inner or primary bow, as
it is called. is always the brighter,
and the red band Of color is always
on its outside. The outer or sec
ondary bow is much fainter in color,
and the red band is always On the
inside. This is because in the pri-
mary bow the suns rays are reflect
ed only once. while in the second
ary bow they are reflected twice,
which makes them fainter in color
and turns them upside down. In
one rainbow we see the rays Of the
sun entering the raindrops at the
top and reflected to the eye from
the bottom, while in the other we
see the rays entering the raindrops
at the bottom and reflected from
the top, whence they reach the eye.

One Exception.

A wealthy senator from one Of
the eastern states has son who has
been known chiefly for his dissi-
pated habits, and on one occasion
the senator put the young man con
the carpet" warning him that he
must cease his bad habits.
"Well, you know, dad" said the
son, 81 am apt to do everything in
excess. | can't drink or smoke or
gamble in moderation. l can't do
anything in moderation"
"There is one exception, my son" !"
objected the senator. 'In one thing
you are excessively moderate"
"What's that, sir?" asked the
youth, surprised by this concession.
"Work," answered the father
dryly.-New York Tribune.

EXPRESSED HIS IDEA.
Lincoln Vetoed the Objections to His
Use of Sugar Coated"

President Lincoln had style of
his own even in writing his state
papers. 1t does not appear that he
took pains either to secure or to
avoid ornamental diction. He was,
however, fond Of homely but ex-
pressive phrases. For these he
slowed his preference upon occa-
sion, as Mr. Lamon tells in his
recollections Of the man.
In one Of his messages to con-
gress Mr.. Lincoln used the term
sugar coated" When the docu-
ment was placed in the hands of the
public printer, Hon. John d. De
frees, that officer was terribly
shocked and offended. Mr.. Dcfrecs
was an accomplished scholar. man
Of fastidious taste and a devoted
friend of the president, with whom
he was on terms of great intimacy.
1t would never Go to leave the
forbidden term in the message; it
must be eXpunged-othcrwise it
would forever remain ruinous blot
on the fair name Of the president.
La great distress and modification
the good Defrces hurried away to
the White House. where he told
Mr. Lincoln plainly that "sugar
~oated" was not in good taste.
"Iou ought to remember" said
he, ''that a message to the con-
gress Of the United States is
quite a different thing from a
speech before Il mass meeting; that
such messages become a part Of the
history Of the country and should
therefore be written with scrupu-
lous care and propriety. Such an
expression in q state paper is un-
digni6ed, and if | were yon would
alter the structure of the whole
sentence
Mr.. Lincoln laughed and then
said, with a comical show of gray
ity: "John, that term expresses
precisely my idea, and | am not go
ing to change it. Sugar coated
must stand, The time will never
come in this country when the peo-
pie will not understand exactly
what sugar coated means"
Mr.. Defrees was obliged to yield,
and the message was printed with
out amendment.

a Continuous Perform ance.

The appetites Of healthy children
are proverbial. A group Of such
children not long since were taken
on a modest outing by an adult adj
mirer, and luncheon was arranged
for. The children partook with
fair heartiness and every appear
ance of enjoyment. The hostess was
correspondingly pleased. But on
the way home half an hour later, to
her astonishment and mild horror,
the Oldest child remarked sedately:
"Well, | guess I'm about ready
for luncheon"
And from all the rest came the
eager responsive chorus:

To us it seems a curious whim on
the part of our ancestors of the

should so often choose and with
such seeming complacency to en-

day of July 1863, when one brigade

hours in futile attempt to dislodge

Col, Chenault and one lieutenant col.
with perhaps sixty or seventy others
were killed, in apparently the twink

stockade was made of heavy timbers
and was surrounded by a ditch ten
feet deep. The artillery could not
be brought TO bear on account OF
the dense timber and bugle sounded

seventy of the chivalry of Kentucky

BRIDGE ACCEPTED.
Cost of New Floor Deducted,
The Purchase Price Being
Reduced S715.

The city has adjusted with the
Vincennes Bridge Co. the trouble
over the North Main street bridge
purchased about four years ago for
S33l5. The concrete floor in the
bridge proved to be too heavy and
in adjusting this trouble the bridge
company agreed to discount the
price 1915 and put in second floor,
lighter and of reinforced concrete.
This was done in 1909 but when the
cotton street roller was passed over
the bridge as a test the new floor
was cracked in places and the city
refused to accept it. retaining $1,000
of the purchase money to make good
the defects. The holes were COW
cred With plank and the bridge has
remained in that condition for two
years. By the terms of the settle
ment made Saturday the city is al
lowed $500 to put in new floor and
the bridge is to be accepted and the
balance of 5000 paid. The bridge
itself is satisfactory. the trouble hav-
ing been with the floor. The bridge
company maintained that the test
was made-before the concrete was
thoroughly dry. The holes in the
floor will be repaired and il there i;
any further trouble a new floor will
be laid. The iron work will also be
given new coat of paint.
