Observation-Disclosures
Beautiful Miss Howard
By ANTOINFTTE PATTERSON

Langdon Drew was OF a frivolous ma
ture and had already figured In two
broken engagements. And now a girl
had come into his life determined to
teach him lesson. Katherine How
ard and the ex-fances had been
friends at boarding school This was
unknown to Mr.. Drew who had moved
from Pittsburg, the home OF one OF
his former loves-the other was q
Bostonian-to New York. where he
had just met the beautiful Miss How
ard.
Katherine Howard was beauty. In
her hair was the CLINT Of the sun IT.
self, and in her face the flush of the
wild rose. Her eyes were big and
clear and blue.
There were six men supposed to be
in love with Katherine; soon. Mr.
Drew made the seventh. Also he felt
he was the most favored.
Among the first six was q young
clergyman. Rev. Mr.. Henry Strong OF
Boston, who had met Miss Howard
the previous summer while visiting
friends on the Massachusetts coast.
He saw as much OF her as his meagre
vacation would allow. and In the fall
came to New York and asked her to
marry him.
Katherine told him she liked him
very much, but she wished TO see
something OF the world first; that
probably II would prove so charming
she would prefer to live in It's midst
the rest OF her life. To her surprise,
Mr.. Strong agreed at once. 1t was
natural wish, and II was far from his
desire that any woman should be his
wife unless she realized the many
things she would have to give up;
there would be so much else for her to
do. He was indeed an unusual lover,
for he had added that he would be so
busy all winter II would be impossible
to leave Boston. but he would find time
to see her just before Lent. when per-
haps she could tell him whether she
felt she could become the wife OF
rather hard working clergyman-not a
poor one, as he had an independent in
come of his own. And then he had
quietly said good-by.
Katherine had thought often OF that
afternoon. Strong was the one man
who seemed not to have noticed her

EhRSY TOO YOUNG
New York Judge Declares War
on Hasty Marriages.
Declares Mating of Children Is Sin
Against Humanity and Should
Be Stopped at Once by
New Laws.

New York.-'lt is a recognized fact
that at least 75 per cent of the hasty
marriages made between young peo-
pie result unhappily. Nearly so per
cent end in the divorce courts and
more would if such a course could be
Afforded
Judge r. c. Cornell of the domestic
relations court has not only been

married people who come before him
but has been waging war against
hasty marriages
1T is getting so nowadays" said
the Judge. that a boy of 19 may

are Lore the wiser until about a year
afterward. when the young couple.
tired of playing keeping house. come
to this court for aid
This condition of affairs is not
only a reflection on the parents and
their laXity in caring for their chil-
dren. but it is also a disgrace to the
city government. and I believe that
unless it is stopped the city will be so
overrun with families, poor and dis
contented. that it will be the laughing
stock of the country.
There Is a remedy for this, and
one that should be put in force. In
the first place no marriage should be
made between young people unless
their ages are attested by some rela-
tive or a guardian. This may seem a
u
one, as any one who sits in this court
will realize. There is a great differ
ence in the girl of Is and of Is or 20
The girl Of 16 Is nothing more than
a child and it is a sin to let these
marriages go on. Many marriages are

and 10 who lie to get marriage IL
censes
THE parents or guardians should
be made to swear to the ages, and
understanding what an oath means,
should be duly impressed with the
consequences If they commit perjury
In many such cases the marriage
would not be made if it's comtempla-
ton were made public. Those inter-
ested in the good of the young people
would prevent it. But the secrecy
that is possible now makes rash and
hasty marriages of mere children
easy. 1t would be an excellent thing
if law was passed making it neces-
sary for the contemplated marriage to
be published a month in advance OF
the time of the wedding.
Such law would guard the chill
dren in two ways 1t would make
possible the interference of the par
ent or guardian if the marriage was
ill-advised and it would also give the
foolish children month in which to
think over the situation"

ALL MY PlMPLES GONE
Girl Tells How BIotchy Skin Was

"I was ashamed of my face" writes
Miss Minnie Pickard of Altamahaw,
N. G. 'It was all full Of pimples and
scars, but after using D. D. ID. Pre-
scription I can say that now there is
no sign of that Eczema, and that was
three years ago."
D. D. D. has become so famous as
a cure and instant relief in Eczema
and all other serious skin diseases.
that its value is sometimes overlooked
in clearing up rash, pimples, black
heads, and all other minor forms OF
skin impurities.
The fact is, that while D. D. D. IS
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any other seri-
Gus trouble. the soothing Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
are so carefully compounded there is
no wash for the skin made that can
compare with this great household
remedy for every kind of skin trouble
D. D. D. is pleasant to use, perfectly
harmless to the most delicate skin,
and absolutely reliable. A 25-cent
bottle will give you positive proof of
the wonderful effectiveness of this
great remedy.

SPEED PROGRAM
RUNNING RACES WILL BE GIVEN
OF BLUE GRASS FAIR.
Each Day Will Witness a Cup Race
Open to All Members of the Gen.
temen's Driving Club of
Lexington.

An excellent speed program has
been arranged for the Blue Grass fair
which will be held at Lexington the
week of August 7th to 18th. On each
of the six days will be given running
races and on Monday, Tuesday, Wed.
nesday, Thursday and Friday there
will be races for light harness horses
as well. On each of these days will
be witnessed cup race open to mem
bers of the Gentlemen's Driving club
of Lexington and one of the several
races for which monetary prizes are
offered.
The 2:16 trot is scheduled for the
afternoon of Monday, August 7th; the
twO-year-old trot for Tuesday after
noon; the 2:Z0 pace for Wednesday;
the three-year-old trot for Thursday,
and the 2:22 trot for Friday. In both
the 2:16 trot and the two-year-old trot
at the Blue Grass fair last year new
records for the season were set.
There is every reason to believe that
these events will be equally interest
ing in the contests which they offer
this year and will probably bring to-
gether larger number of horses.
The most attractive feature in the
matter of running races will be a spe-
cial race for gentlemen riders, which
has been gotten up at the request of
members of the Lexington Polo club.
In this club are being developed a
number of expert horsemen and the
Gentlemen's Cup race will bring to-
gether eight or ten of these, mounted
on some of the best thoroughbreds to
be found in Central Kentucky. This
race will be put on Monday afternoon,
the opening day of the fair, and is GER
tain to prove one of the most attrac-
tive features witnessed during the
week.

The most remarkable opportunity
OF Kentucky in a musical way will be
the appearance of the famous United
States Marine Band, which comes
from Washington City to play at the
Blue Grass Fair at Lexington through
out the week Of August 7th to 18th.
Conceded by competent judges ev-
erywhere to be the best organization
of its kind in the world, the fame of
the Marine Band has extended to ev-
cry section of the country. 1t may be
truthfully stated that in very large
degree it was this band which made
John Phillip Sousa, the noted band
master, famous. Under his direction
the Marine Band attained a degree of
eminence that brought it into interna-
tiCnal prominence and during the term
of it's present leader, Lieut.. William A.
Santelmann, it has fully maintained
the standards then set
The mere statement that the Marine
Band is coming to the Blue Grass Fair
carries with it a tremendous teSti-
mOnial Of the Importance of the big
exposition which will hold forth at
Lexington during the second week in
August. Never before has this noted
organization appeared on the grounds
Of any fair-state, district or county.
Indeed, only in instances of the largest
expositions, such as the Worlds Fairs
at Chicago and st. Louis, has it been
allowed to leeve Washington. It's COM
ing to Lexington is the result of three
years work on the part of the man
agement of the Blue Grass fair.
Efforts have been made continuous
ly for each of the past three years to
secure this great organization, but
without success, until the present sea.
son. And in this instance the result
has been achieved only through the
powerful influence of Hon. Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, who through personal ef
fort secured the consent of the Presi-
The Bourbon news., 1911-08-04

dent of the United States and of the
secretary of the navy, to allow the
band to make the trip. Each of the
men composing the organization is en-
titled to furlough for brief period
every year. By granting all of the fur
loughs for the week of August 7th to
18th, the navy department made pos
sible the engagement of the band by
the Blue Grass fair without violating
it's own rule
Ih.CCChcCt the summer months the
Marine Band gives q concert en- the
lawn n front OF the White House at
Washington each Saturday afternoon.
After u1e regular concert on the aftec-
noon CT August 9TH, it will take a spe-
cial tain to Lexington, arriving over
the c. G @. railroad on Sunday, Au-
gust 9Th. Sunday evening a special
sacred concert will be given at the
Blue Grass fair grounds and each aft
ernoon and evening throughout the
week Of The fair this splendid band
will furnish the music.
The opportunity that Will thus be af-
forded the people Of Central Kentucky
is absolutely unprecedented. Any
lover Of music would gladly pay from
$1.O0 to $3.50 to hear such an Organi-
zation as the Marine Band, but at the
Blue Grass fair prolonged concerts by
this band will be heard and innumera-
bic features of the greatest interest
will, in addition, be offered-all for the
admission fee of fifty cents. 1t. there
fore, Seems reasonable to suppose that
on the strength of this one feature the
management of the fair may antici-
pate record-breaking crowds.
At each concert not only will an ex-
cellent program of instrumental music
be given, but there will also be varied
vocal selections. The Marine Band
has it's own chorus of splendid male
voices and the programs will be so ar
ranged as to give the audiences the
full benefit of the training and the
melody of these voices.
