"A Perfect Saw

"To say nothing and saw wood"
seems to be one of the most sagaeious
phrases passed down by our hard
working forebears. Like most sayings
which have emanated from manual
labor, this is blunt, homely, and, to
the loquaciously inclined, painfully
accurate. Show me a man bent jack
knife fashion over a sawhorse, with
a short log under his buck, and / will
point out a man who is minding his
own business with admirable zeal If
he speaks, he ceases to saw. While
he saws he is necessarily mute. Hence
this shreWd phrase, which is. punning
aside, a perfect saw.-Atlantic Month

Elizabeth S
Peril

A whoop of mingled rage. terror
and pain penetrated to the upper re-
gions and heralded the coming Of
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's mother, for whom the
sound. familiar though It was. has
never been robbed Of its terrors, ran
out of her bedroom and half way
down the stairs to meet her waiting
offspring She sank down upon one
Of the. steps and instantly a pair OF
frantics arms were locked about her

a huge pink hair ribbon we're buried

Same Reasons Apply Here.
The Lancaster Record says Why
not Garrard? The following extract
from the Harrodsburg Republican tells
Of move to organize the sportsmen Of
Mercer county for the protection Of The
game. This is a good move and the
only one by which we will ever see the
fields and streams of the Stale get
enough protection to prevent their being
devastated before the law expires. This
move we advocated several months
since, aud, if our neighbors are success
full in their undertaking, it will be well
for the people in this county who are
interested 10 organize in this county a
branch of the Fish and Game Protection
Association, and, as Mercer and Gar
rard join with Dix river as the bound
airy line, perhaps with organization on
both sides of the stream the SEEMING and
dyhamiting can be at least checked, il
not stopped altogether. A Mercer
branch of the Fish and Game Protective
Association will be formed by sports
men Of this community. Something Of
the sort is badly needed to enforce the
State laws in regard TO game, which are
held very lightly by many people in the
county. While numbers condemn such
lawlessness, they find it is not theil
place to kick up row, unless the act'
OF depredations are on their property

would make it a business 10 look to The
