why We're Going

It's not because we think elsewhere
The skies are buer than our own,
Or that we think more sweetly fair
Must be the land that is unknown.
It's not that we're unhappy here,
For here is all that makes life gay,
But still we feel that every year
It's up TO US to 80 away.
We are not wandering because
We've wearied Of our little home,
To seek from strangers loud applause
Is not the reason that we roam.
We do not feel that east or west
Wen find more treasures than we
know
Right here about our little nest;
Yet once year some where we go.
We don't believe the August moon
Is brighter miles and miles away
Or that Wen find greater boon
Than could be had if we should stay.
We've all that we desire right here.
Yes, all that elsewhere could be had
Yet once a year we disappear
Because it seems TO lie the fad.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.


Editor Star: Mr.. w. r. Pope, super
intendent of public instruction, read
paper at the College of Hawaii upon
industrial training in public schools
which was one of the most interesting
and important papers ever read there.
This question of industrial training
is coming to the front all over the
mainland, and Mr.. Pope and Mr. Glib
son are in favor of introducing it here.
And there can be no question of the
good it would do if it could be taught
in our public schools.
There is already an attempt made
to do this, but so far it only extends
to the High School, or at the top in
stead of the bottom of the school sys-
tenn
OF the $4,000 scholars in the public
schools, only about thirty are said to
graduate each year who can benefit
from this PLAN as at present taught.
What a vast difference 1t would make
if, instead of these few, all of this vast
number could graduate and be bene.

'OLEARY COW MUCH ABUSED
Neither Mrs. 0'Leary Nor Her
Bovine to Blame For Chi
CagO Fire.


Chicago, Oct. 13 Chicago this
week celebrated the fortieth ami.
versary of the great fire of 1871,
which destroyed 100000. 900 worth
of property and caused the death Of
300 people.
In Grant Park the beginning of
the fire is to be staged in realistic
manner.
A replica of Mrs. 0'Leary's his
torical barn is to be fired as a fea-
ture Of the evenings parade. A COW
has been secured to play the part Of
the famous animal which, according
20 the generally accepted belief,
started the big blaze by kicking over
a lamp.
In this connection Michael Ahern,
the only living police reporter who
covered" the story, gives a ver-
sion of the affair which differs ma
terially from that generally taken
as correct.
The fire was not started by COW
kicking over a lamp while Mrs.
O'Leary was milking the animal. "
said Ahern.
"The O'Learys were all in bed
when the fire started. Mrs. O'Leary
had MIXED her cows-she owned
five-more than three hours before
the fire was discovered. | knew
Mrs. O'Leary well. She was truth
full woman. A few days after the
fire interviewed her regarding the
story of the COW and the lamp. She
branded it as a falsehood.
1T is true that the fire started in
the O'Leary cowshed, and / have
my reason for believing that some
one went there to pilfer milk from
one Of the cows.
There was social gathering in
the neighborhood that night in honor
of the arrival of a young man from
Ireland. One of those present told
me in after years that two women
of the party went to the O'Leary
shed to get some milk for punch
One woman held a lighted lamp
while the other MIXED the COW. They
thought they heard some one coming
and in their haste to escape the lamp
was dropped, setting fire to the place
That. believe. is the true cause
Of the fire."

RESULTS THAT REMAIN

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have

proof right here in Hopkinsville.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
Miss L. A. Hester, AIT Cleveland
St., Hopkinsville, KY, says: Il be-
lieve there is little need of anyone
suffering from backache when
Doan's Kidney Pills can be had. The
prompt and thorough relief which
followed their use in my case has
given me great faith in their merits.
In the summer of 1903, I suffered
greatly from soreness and lameness
across the small of my back and
other difficulties arising from weak
kidneys The contents of two boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
from L. A. Johnson & Co. s Pharma
cy. were all that was required to
free me from the distressing pain in
my back and restore my kidneys to
a normal condition. publicly re-
