GREAT EDITOR DECLINING AS
TROUBLE AND YEARS COME
ON

The following from the pen OF
close friend of the great editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal will be sad
news to the thousands who have read
his powerful editorials in Kentucky's
first and best paper. The writer has
known Mr.. Watterson for nearly forty
years and will be seen that his sor-
row at the decline of the great editor
is deep and sincere:
One of the saddest sights we have
seen for long time was Editor Henry
Watterson of the Courier-Journal
showing plainly in manner and speech
1.-The effects of his family bereave-
ments. He came over to the, Seelbach
and in the conversation with the writ
err said: 81 should like to be with you
and make myself one of the boys
again, but it is impossible. My trou-
bles are almost greater than | can
bear Two years ago had five chill
dren. Now | have only one and that
one has caused me more anguish than
his death would have occasioned."
The great mans frame shook as he
recounted his sorrow, and it was al
most pitiful to see the once vigorous
man show that age and trouble are
sapping his life. He has been one OF
the greatest and most influential men
of his day, and everybody hopes it is
not done for many years yet, though
lit will tax even as stout heart and
as strong a brain as his to withstand
the burden.
Mr.. Watterson went on to say that
he and his wife usually went to Flori-
da to spend the cold season, but the
hurricane of last fall left hardly a
board of his home at Naples-on-the-
Gulf, and that instead of going there
this winter, they would sail shortly
for Europe and spend some months in
southern France.
The greatest editor of the United
States has not always written 10
please everybody, nor as matter of
fact has he tried to do so, but his abili-
ty, his splendid command of words
and withal his stock of good, strong
common sense has made even his
friends admire and praise him. That
a sojourn in Europe will prove bene-
fetal and that the Great Comforter
will bind up the broken hearts of him
and. his wife and spare him many
years to make the editorial pages of
his paper pne of the greatest in the
country, all of us who have sat at his
feet and gained knowledge and in
SEPARATION devoutly trust.-Orlando Re-
porter-Star.

2207 w. Franklin ST., Baltimore, Md:
The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infam-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache.
that bearing-down feeling, fiatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If YOU would like special advice
write to Mrs. Finkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free of

a theory regarding the cause of lower

that the cutting down of extensive for

AN INSURANCE COMPANY II
TROUBLE

The Citizens Life Insurance Com
pany and the Citizens National Life
Insurance Company of Louisville,
KY, one having absorbed the other,
is in the United States court on a pc
tition asking that it be placed in the
hands of a receiver.
In the course of an investigation it
was ascertained that Mr. J. W. Wide
man of DeLand, Florida, though not
a man of means, had bought 10000
shares of the stock of one of the com
panies, amounting to 100000. Mr..
Gregory, the former president of the
company, while on the witness stand.
stated that it was Mr.. Wideman's in
|tention to resell this stock in Florida.
He stated that Mr.. Wideman had left
the Citizens Company subsequently,
and that no payment on his subscrip-
ton had been made.
When asked what amount had been
paid to the Citizens National Life of
the $4,000 subscribed by himself,
his brother, his mother and j. w.
Wideman of Florida, Mr.. Gregory re-
piled:
Il am not the bookkeeper, I am not
the assistant bookkeeper, and have
nothing to do with the accounting. l
am not the secretary nor the treasu-
rer, and l must decline to answer that
question until l can get accurate in
formation from the right sources"
He said that he didn't keep UP with
all of the details of the company, al
though he was one of the chief organ
izers and promoters of the company.
He characterized the amount which
had been paid in of his subscription
as good deal."-Louisville Times.

'.Mary Ann" Bill Passes.

The first and second choice in
primary elections, the MARY
Ann" bill that has caused so
much trouble for past. legisla-
lures is to become a law, having
passed the senate last week.
This is the way the standing

Il any candidate receives a
majority of the first choice votes
the nomination is his.
IF no candidate receives a
majority. the canvassers drop
the name of the one receiving the
lowest number of, first choice
votes and add the second choice
votes cast by the remaining can
didates.. If there is then no
majority; the next lowest candi-
date is dropped, and the second
choice votes cast by his support
ers in like manner are added.
This operation is repeated until
some candidate gets a majority.
The new primary ballot will
have two columns, in one OF
which the voter may stamp his
first choice, the other being re-
served for second choice.
