brought in the romance Of the thing,
and until Miss Ethel limited that some
thing might happen. that she gave a
reluctant consent to act as chaperon.
On the third morning after the plot
ters had plotted the wind was due east,
with a promise of strengthening. The
trio set out gayly, but upon reaching
the waterside Mrs. Denham suggested
picnic on solid ground, and Mr.. Blum
favored getting a livery rig for q
drive over highways.
Youth and innocence prevailed, how
ever. After the first Ave minutes Mrs.
Denham said there was nothing about
sailing to scare a babe. and Mr.. Blum
laughed and rubbed his hands and said
q life on the ocean wave for him. La
ter on. when Miss Ethel begged him
for q marine song from his repertoire.
he sang MY Grandfathers Clock"
Mrs. Denham got quite girly over the
situation and declared that she should
go sailing every day.
At the psychological moment the
boat which had been sailing to and
fro across an almost landlocked bay,
was headed for the open sound and
the tumbling waves.
In five minutes Mrs. Denham was
down and out. In ten, after many
sickly grins and timid suggestions.
Mr.. Blum said he would give all three
rings on his left hand to be ashore.
a moment later he added all four on
his right hand. Then the craft
broached to and began to wallow in
the trough of the sea, and Mr.. Blum
was soaked with the flying spray
until he shouted to Mrs. Denham
that she was fool ever to have pro-
posed such trip, and he turned to
the girl TO say that If he lost his life
his brother Sam would see that she
spent the rest of her days In a dun
geon deep.
Mr.. Blum was no gentleman. He
swore before ladies. Mr.. Blum was
selfish. When he saw a motorboat
making out to them he stood up and
waved his hand and shouted:
"F1fty-a hundred dollars to save
me-mei"
The motor seemed to have hard
time getting alongside, and two or
three times the young man at the
wheel appeared to be on the point Of
abandoning the rescue. Mrs. Denham
stretched out her arms and sobbed
and appealed. Mr.. Blum raised his
offer to s5O0-s20O In cash and the rest
at sixty days.
Miss Ethel worked her way to the
bow Of the boat and made ready to
cast rope. It was finally cast and
caught and made fast, and the smaller
craft was towed back to safety.
Mrs. Denham stepped ashore to de-
mand an abject apology of Mr.. Blum
Mr. Blum stepped ashore to say that
he was of for town and hadn't time
to make II. Miss Ethel stepped
ashore to call her aunt's attention to
the hero who had saved all, and Mr..
Earl Manning stepped ashore to Say
that he was happy and so forth. but
had done only his duty as he had
seen it.
And how did It end2 The gossips
say that the end won't come until
Thanksgiving, and meanwhile there
will be no occasion for jealousy on
the part OF the hero. and Mr.. Blum
will not have to part with his seven
diamond rings.

Field, Seed and Grain Show to Open
Eyes of Husbandmen-Boy's
Corn Clubs Favored.

A fortune in prizes, offered in con-
nection with regular exhibits, and any
humber of special prizes offered as in
ducements to the people of Kentucky
to put the very best of their products
on display at the coming Kentucky
State Fair, is having the effect of in
teresting exhibitors to an extent never
before known this early in advance.
But, aside from the actual money to
be obtained, there is that about the
preparations for the coming monster
exhibition which carries confidence
with it,
The Kentucky State Fairgrounds,
when occupied with all that will go to
make up the magnificent show to be
held for one week In September, be-
ginning on Monday, the 11th, and end
ing at midnight Saturday, the 10th,
will provide an array of feature suffi-
cient to tempt the interest and hold
the attention of any one seeking in
struction, entertainment and agricul-
tural and technical uplift.
Dainty Needle Work.
Here articles of needle work, almost
endless in number, old fashioned blan-
kets or comforters, shawls, dainty ar
ticles of feminine wear, all represent
ing long hours Of careful and painstak-
ing work, will be shown.
Another feature which will appeal
to the women, as well as the men, is
the poultry department. This industry
has progressed wonderfully, even in
the past year, and to-day those in
Kentucky and Southern Indiana, who
are giving time and money to the rails
ing of wonderfully impressive speci-
mems in the poultry line, are numbered
by the thousands.
Then there is the Field, Seed and
Grain department. The husbandman
who provides the food which sustains
the greatest nation of the earth will
be in his element when he reaches this
department next September, as Secre-
tary Shy has seen to it that especial
attention is to be given the products
OF the field.
Prizes For Best Cereal.
Prominent among the innovations
will be the Boys Corn Show, with
prizes sufficient to tempt the best of
the youthful corn growers. Already,
over the state, the rivalry is keen, and
the members of the different clubs are
striving with might ald main to pro-
duce specimens of the cereal which
they hope will capture one or more of
the premiums.
The state has been divided into
three districts for the purposes of the
corn show and the prizes will be
awarded as to districts. Then, to cap
the climax, there will be a grand
sweepstakes prize, which will cause
the boys from some sections of Ken
lucky to return home after September
16 next, proudly bearing the trophy
which will be a fine tribute to their
skill and industry.
In connection with the Field, Seed
and Grain, Poultry and Women's De-
partments, respectively, Secretary Shy
calls attention to the fact that the
closing dates for entries, which will be
strictly adhered to, are as follows:
Women's department, Saturday, Sep

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Good look is merely escaping
bad luck.
Teachers can cultivate brains;
they can't create them.
Most people spend their time
either eating or talking about it.
The Lord must take care Of
good women, for certainly men
don't.
A girl who will wear big fat
rubbers, however bad the wealth
err, doesn't want to get married.
A wise child learns to like to
be spanked so as to get lot of
spelling to make up for it right
after.
The crafty thing for a man to
do would be to convince his
wife he loved her so much h e
hadn't any left for her relatives.
It's worth thinking about how
mad a man can be at first with a
girl for refusing to marry him
and how greatful to her after
ward.
It's just human nature for an
old bald-head to want young
girls with a mass of curls to
pretend they can tolerate him.
