WOMAN KILLS ALLEGED

Jessie c. Barnes, OF Caney Fork,
shot and killed Mrs. w. w. Judd,
of Double Springs. this afternoon at
Buffalo Valley, as the result Of at

1t is an awe-inspiring spectacle, but

sides of sensible citizens of this Ma
ton and not in political meetings
where they are being harangued
and told everything in the interest
of some one man. They have been
thinking. That's why Champ Clark
has been winning delegates while
attending to his duties and others
have been losing delegates by
spending money for special trains
and appealing to the people on the
rostrum.
II looks from this distance like
Champ Clark is going into the con-
vention with more votes than any
other candidate, and that he will
be nominated before the third bal
lot is over.

Who would have thought, only
four short years ago, when William
Howard Taft was nominated and
elected at the behest of President
Roosevelt, that this same Taft
would at this time have become al
most a political pariah-repudiated
by the man who made him Presi-
dent and scorned by the leading
members of his own party? Hav-
ing foisted Taft, a confessed Presi-
dental failure, upon us. Roosevelt
now seeks to usurp his protege's
position. declaring it all a bad mis-
take. Is any of it really sane po-
litical proceedings?

to the rottenness and debauchery
of the Republican mode of admin

Whether Senator-elect James was
on the popular side or not in the re-
cent contest for the Craftsmanship
of the Democratic State Convention,
let it be remembered that had he
not come to Kentucky and used his
best efforts and his strong person

Champ Clark, It is doubtful II the
latter would have gotten instruc-

did a noble work for Kentucky and
Kentuckians, for which he deserves
much credit.

new institution, seems to be accom-

work accomplished almost equal
to any similar institution in the
State, and at a total expense of only
$750.32. 1t is kept up, we under
stand. by popular subscription and
there are no salaried officials con-
nected with it. All money receiv-
ed goes direct into the necessary
expense of feeding, clothing, trans
porting and otherwise caring for the
children. 1t is a worthy institution.

The Herald had no choice be-

both very able men, both have been
greatly honored by the party and
the Democracy Of neither can be
doubted. We really thought 1t
would have been better for the I'M
ity of the party had both been out
of the race, leaving the contest to
other good Democrats. But "alls
well that ends WELL" and We do
not believe that the decision OF the
Craftsmanship, matter left any sore
spots with any Democrat, as Mr..
James took hts defeat in a very
manly way.

How Long Animals Live.

Undoubtedly the longest-lived animal
on. earth is the whale, its span of exist
ence being estimated by Cuvier at I 900
years. The next largest animal, the ele-
phant, will, under favorable conditions,
live 400 years.
When Alexander the Great conquered
Porus, King OF India, he took great ele-
phant that had fought gallantly for the de-
feated king, named him Ajax, dedicated
him to the sun, placed upon him metal
band with the inscription, Alexander,
the son OF Jupiter, dedicated Ajax to the
SUM-" The elephant was found alive $50
years later.
The average age OF cats is fifteen years;
OF squirrels, seven or eight years; of rab-
bits, seven; bear rarely exceeds twenty
years; a wolf, twenty; fox, fourteen TO
sixteen. Lions are comparatively long
lived, instances having been recorded
where they reached the age OF seventy
years.
Pigs have been known TO live TO the age
OF twenty years and horses TO sixty, but
the average age of the horse is twenty
five 10 thirty. Camels sometimes live 10
the age OF one hundred, and stays are very
long-lived, one having been taken by
Charles vi in the forest OF Senlis which
bore about its neck a collar on which was
engraved Caesar hoe mihi donavt."
Whether or not this stag had actually
lived since the days Of one of the Cae-
sars il is impossible 10 say, but the evi-
dence seems good.
Eagles occasionally and ravens fire.
quenty reach the aye OF one hundred
years and swans have been known to
live three hundred years. A tortoise has
been known TO live one hundred and
seven years.
Efforts have been made 10 connect the
rapidity Of the pulse beat with longevity,
but no logical conclusion can be reached,
as will be seen from the fact that the
pulse Of lion beats 40 times minute;
that OF tiger 90 times; of horse, 40
times; of a wolf, As times; Of a fox, 43
times; of a bear 80 times, and ofan eagle,
l60 times. II has been impossible TO
count The beats OF an elephants pulse,
but that OF a butterfly beats 60 times TO
the minute
