UNIQUE CASESON
TRIALATuVINCSTON
CITIZENS CHARGED WITH BUY.
STOLEN COAL FROM LITTLE
CHILDREN.

Livingston, KY, Feb. 16
An unusual court scene was witness
ed here Tuesday when "a of the lead
ing citizens of this little village were
hailed into court to answer a charge
OF buying coal which was alleged to
have been stolen by small children
from different coal yards and cars
which are standing on the railroad
tracks here. II seems that number
of half starved youngsters go out with
baskets and gather up coal which
has fallen off cars in the yards and
sell it in town. The city council in an
effort TO break up the practice passed
an ordinance imposing a fine of $3.50
upon each one who might buy this
coal from the youngsters. AS a re-
suit warrants were served upon "a
well known citizens and the trial of
the cases attracted much interest.
The County Attorney of Rockcastle
came up to prosecute the cases while
Attorney &. G. Williams, of Mt. Yer
men represented the defendants. One
case was dismissed In the second l.
II. Davis was fined $3.50 and refused
pay he fine. His attorneys advised
him to go to Jail but the municipal
authorities we're afraid TO put him in
Jail for fear that they might be held
responsible.
Attorney Casper Williams who
fought the charges against his clients,
declared that such an ordinance as
was attempted to be enforced was
clearly unconstitutional and illegal.
He said that a city council had just
as much right to pass an ordinance
that any one who might commit muir
Ger in Livingston should be fined 81
as they ha dto pass the ordinance I'M
der question. Much interest attaches
10 the case and further proceedings
will be watched with interest.

Mr.. Wilson telephoned the Interior
Journal that he will be here Saturday
TO address the meeting himself. He
says that the reason for the failure
OF Hon. J. n. Kehoe to appear here
Monday as was advertised is that Mr..
Kehoe could not get away from his
business and he was unable to find
some at that late hour to take his
place. Mr. Wilson asks that all who
have pledged books still to make ev-
cry effort to secure signers as he be-
lieves that there is a splendid chance
still for the movement to go through
and be a success. He does not be-
lieve that there will be tobacco grown

Gromier, in his description of the
gather of the migatory birds of
France for their annual flight toward
Africa, states that they have two
great atmospheric highways which
they pursue by preference-one lead
ing over the Pyrenees by the princi-
pa. passes into Spain, and thence to
the Strait of Gibraltar; and the other
sllirtng the Alps, and passing down
the whole length of Italy AS the sea-
son advances, the birds may be seen
converging from western, central and
southern France toward the Pyrenean
passes. Sometimes the same species,
such as the chaliinch divide into two
parties. which Gromier thinks he can
distinguish by the character Of thci;'
songs. one taking the Spanish and the
other the Italian route. Each species
has it's favorite way, depending on the
supply of the kinds of food it prefers.
The bullfinch follows the ranges of
low hills; the blackbird keeps to the
vineyards; and some kinds follow the
watcr-courses and the shore lines
For nearly 20 years the United
States biological survey has been ac-
cumulating data on the migration of
birds. It's own field naturalists. whose
visits have extended over the North
American continent from Guatemala
to the Arctic circle, have furnished
volumnous notes, besides which the
assistance of ornithologists throughout
the country has been enlisted, so that
reports are received in the spring and
fan of each year from hundreds Of
observers. These reports give. for
each species, the date when the bird
was first seen, when it became COM
mon. and when it disappeared. Light
house keepers also have supplied val
liable information concerning the de-
struction of birds at their lights. The
facts thus gathered from these vari-
Gus sources from the largest amount
of material on bird migration ever col
lected in this country, and permit
broader and safer CONGRATULATIONS than
have heretofore been possible.

THE ALBANY CAPITAL.
History Is Chapter on the Vanity Of

The history of this capital is chap
ter in a book on the vanity of human
wishes. The state was resolved, as the
greatest state, to have the greatest
capital. 1t was resolved to have it on
the eminence to which history had
given the name of Capitol hill. Able
civilians, great engineers, pre-eminent
architects and distinguished contract
ors co-operated in the projection of the
pile. The excavations were made and

1t was the deposit or residum of a
pre- historic period. 1t could well have
caused the selection of another site or
of another city. But the pride of the
commonwealth was challenged. The
resources of science were taxed and

b Not the Amount but the Spirit.

s. A faithful friend writes the Kenne-
bee journal from Gardiner and en-
closes his mite" for the benefit of the
Childrens Hospital at Portland.
Among other things he says:
Il am now past my 81 winters. l
note that some of the first names on
the list have voted for. ] only regret
that | cannot make as liberal a dona-
ton. but | shall have to cut off the
two ciphers. Although l am not so
situated as to contribute more than the
mite, this much l eheerfully do. I
can now walk but a few steps at a
time, and all l have got by strictest
economy and temperance"
This gentleman, with the love of hu
manity in his heart and a desire to do
all he can in a good cause, signs him
self "A Fremont Voter. Thos. s.
Paul"
That is the spirit in which to give.
No sEin, however small, is barred from
the list and will assist in carrying re-
lief to some unfortunate child and joy
to other hearts. 1t is not the amount
but the spirit in which it is given.
Who would not give their services for
a few hours to gladden. the life of some
poor mother, who carries living
prayer in her heart for her unfortunate
child? 1t is the few dollars that come
of the institution in the next few
months. Every day since it was es-
tablished has its usefulness and inn
portance grown. until now the demand
is beyond the expectations of its origi-
nators. When the State gave $4,000
for it's equipment and $4,000 for main
tenance for the year 1909, the sum
seemed generous. But the demand
upon it has necessitated increased sup
port.
The curing of one child in COM
munity has awakened a new hope in
the breasts OF other parents TO see
their children made whole.
How often we say: What pity
that this child must go through life
like that" Consider, then, the mad
longing in the hearts of that Childs
father and mother-to see their little
one physically able to enter the battles
of life on equal terms with the children
Of neighbors and friends. Ought we,
then, to be ashamed to offer our little
and, like our Gardiner friend, fervent-
ly wish it were more.

lecting the small offerings and these, a

that are coming in daily.
