pie living along il as Roosevelt ave-
nue..
The reason for this unofficial change
in the name Of the street was the par
,icular attention the stork paid TO the
thoroughfare, especially in the line of
twins. Within less than half block
at one point on the avenue seven pairs
of twins have been born in the last
few years. Here are some of the
Lincoln-beg pardon-Rooscvelt ave
nue. persons TO whom the stork has
BROUGHT twins within the last few
years:
Mr.. and Mrs Thomas w. Partridge.
Mr.. and Mrs. George f. Carpenter.
Mr., and Mrs. David A. Smith
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gibbs.
This has been within less than one
and Farley s avenue. And there are
manr more similar instances of the
stork s activity elsewhere along the
thoroughfare. AS long as the stork
hroupht passengers singly the residents
thought nothing of changing the name
of the street. but when the busy bird
began to bring them in pairs the
prouder parents got together and de-
cided to name the thorougbfare after
n certain former president and there is
talk among several Of the residents of
The avenue Of petitioning the city coun-
ell to give the thoroughfare the Off
cial name Of Roosevelt avenue.
Thomas w Partridge the father of
one of the pairs of twins brought to
Lincoln avenue. was the original in
habitant of that part of the city.
Afterwards he and Mrs. Partridge
moved TO 100 street where they now
live. In addition to the twins, boys.
Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge have three
daughters.
Then the stork visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs George E, Carpenter and
left twins a boy and girl, just to-
show that there was no partiality. Mr..
and Mrs Carpenter, who live at 955
Lincoln avenue, have two other chill
dren. Mr., Carpenter is publicity agent
for the Orphcum theater.
Mr.. and Mrs. David A. Smith of
900 Lincoln avenue are two others to-
whom the stork was generous. Eight
wears ago twins, a boy and girl, were
born to Mr.. Smith. There are four
other children in the Smith home.
Mrs Charles Gibbs. who gave birth
TO twins at the H. d. S. hospital seven
days ago, is the daughter of Jed w.
Ashton Of 996 Lincoln avenue and nm
til her marriage. of course, lived with
her "arents on the now noted thorough.
fare. Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbs now reside
in the northeastern part of the city.

Eastern Kentucky.

Recent press dispatches from New
York, which told Of the meeting on
the same day of magnates control
ling three railroads, the object .of
each gathering being the extension
of trio of important lines into the
coal fields of Eastern Kentucky, were
more significant than would appear
on the surface. Railroad men pos
sessei of inside information, knew
months ago that the G.. & o. and the
l.. & N. intended extending their
lines to Jenkins, the Overnight"
town, and the Elkhorn field The
announcement that the B. g. o. in
tends to enter that field also and
will ship large quantities of coal
therefrom to be converted into coke
at Louisville came more or less as
surprise to competing lines. The
revelation of the railroad activities
in Eastern Kentucky were followed
twenty-four hours later by a story
apparently well founded, that big
Chicago concern which controls large
gas and electric lighting companies
will harness the falls of the Cum ber-
land River and will supply electric
light and power to Louisville Gin
cinnati and other cities within reach
All these manifestations of rail-
road activity are really but indica-
tons of the fact that the railroads
are hitting the high places. The
real, substantial prosperity of the
mountain districts is yet to come.
When it does come KentueEians will
realize that the half of the State
which has lain dormant for CEN
fury probably possesses more po-
tential wealth than the BLUEGRASS,
the Beargrass, and the Purchase
com bined. -Courier-Jou
