SAYINGS
OF RODIN.
Comments Of the Famous French
Sculptor on the Subject Of Ef-
fectism and Exaggeration.

The French sculptor Rodin
always has been looked to as
one of the best commenta-
tors upon art of his day. A
book of his sayings on art
questions is almost as valua-
BILE as one of his books Of
pencil drawings and these
are by many esteemed above
anything he has succeeded
in executing in vindication
of his profound theories and
convictions. He has recent
ly had something to say on
this very subject of effectism
and exaggeration. "What
especially pleases the ignor-
ant is an inexpensive min
uteness of execution and a
sham nobility of action. The
vulgar care nothing for the
sincere observation tn a t
scorns theatric poses, and is
interested only in the per-
fectly simple, but far more
thrilling, attitudes of real
life. People rave over poses
that are never seen in ma
ture, and call them artistic
because they suggest the
swagger Of Italian models
seeking employment. When
you have seen a picture, or
read a bit of literature, and
noticed neither drawing nor
coloring, nor style, you have
felt an emotion that filled
your heart. boston Trans

Don't GrumbIc.

If your path is rough and.dreary,
And your lot is poor and hum
BILE;
Will it help you on life's journey,
If you always growl and grum-
BILE?
When you hear the storm winds
raging,
Lightning flash and thunder
rumble;
Think you that the awry weather
Will be changed by what you
humble?
Any country lad can tell you,
AS along the road you rumble,
That the big bees make no honey
Whilst they fly aboutand bum

May this little rhymelet teach
you
Life is everywhere a jumble;
Yielding compensation only
When you work and do moi

In the last issue Of the jackson
Times, published in Jackson,

announcing the candidacy Of o.

takes occasion to say some very
complimentary things of this
former Henry county boy.
Mr.. Pollard was born and rear
ed in Eminence and the people Of
his native county are justly proud
Of his success. The older gener-
alton of Eminence remember the
plucky little barefoot orphan boy,
Pollard, who sold apples and
BACKED boots on the. streets of
Eminence in his early struggle
for an education. He will be re-
membered asiater being the po-
lite little gentleman who daily
swept the law Office of Gov. w,
P. Thorne, and devoted such leis-
ure moments as he could find To
poring over the pages Of Black
stone and other law books in
Gov. Thorne's Office.
Admitted to the bar at 81, he
was elected County Attorney Of
Henry county when barely eligi
bic, and filled the Office with
lcredit. Twenty-one years age
he migrated to the mountains
where he has since resided. Hi
steady rise in his profession to
position Of leadership at the bal

To WHOM IT May CONCERN:
In the Courier of the End inst,
there appeared a list of the exon
erations allowed the Sheriff of
Morgan county by the Fiscal
Court. The title heading of the
said list is Delinquent List. "
l assume that the, court furnish
ed the list to the printer just as
it appeared in the paper, and the
fault, if fault there be, attribu-
table to the Court who furnished
the list.
There is a general misunder-
standing among the people with
regard to this list, and this fail
ure to properly understand the
matter saddled a deal of unwar-
ranted blame upon the Sheriff
and his deputies. The word
Delinquent" ought not to have
been placed at the head of this
list. There is a traditional un.
derstanding among the people
that the word delinquent" is
used solely to designate those
who are too poor or too dishon'
est to pay their taxes. But the
practice of the court ! has been
and is now, to use the word t
include all the generations al

rev people KNOW lnaI d
Mercer county pig is the SUBJ
ject of an odd incident con-
nected with the invasion of
Canada by the Kentucky
troops during the war Of
1912. A company of volun-
teers assembled at Harrods-
burg prior to the march to
Ohio and on through the
north into Canada.
According to the story the
company saw two pigs fight
ing in the edge Of Harrods-
burg and stopped to watch
the combat. When they
proceeded on their way the
victorious pig followed the
soldiers through McAfee and
on reaching Salyisa the speed
of the little animal was re-
duced to six miles an hour.
At night when they went in
to camp the pig laid down
near them. The men fed
the new recruit, which fol-
lowed them daily.
When they reached the
river and crossed on the fer
ryboat at Cincinnati the pig
paused for awhile, uncertain
what to do, but finally plung-
ed into the river and swan
across and when the march
was resumed took its place
in the moving column.
The pig now became g
great pet and was as sure Of
its rations as the men them
selves, and destitute of fooC
as the men sometimes werl
