and longed to be one of the blessed
who dwell within some domestic
Eden
We all know that a happy mar
riage is the happiest estate in the
p world but We also know that an
unhappy marriage is an earthly
purgatory. In matrimony there is
something that brings out the best
or the worst of people, and as
there is no other blessing equal to
a good husband or wife, so there
is no other curse that compares
with a bad one.
If all marriages were happy, and
If the dove of peace roasted on
every roof tree, then, indeed, old
bachelors and old maids would eX-
pire of envy, and their boasts of
contentment with their hollow
lots would be hollow mockery.
Unfortunately, however, there is
nothing in the average marriage
that does anything but hold it up
as an awful warning to the unmar-
ried, and it is only the triumph
of hope over other peoples expert
ences that leads any young couple
to dare attempt the holy estate.
The old bachelor. returning from
an evening spent in the bosom of
the family of his friend Benedict,
reflects that poor old Benedict gets
a mighty poor run for his money,
and that a fretful and nagging
WIFE and spats and jars, and the
loss of ones personal liberty, is
hardly an adequate return for a
man having to work like a dray
horse to support family. There
fore. the old bachelor signs a sigh
of contentment, and says, Not for
muh,' as he turns the key in his
comfortable apartment
Nor does the old maid, when she
visits around among her married
sisters and friends, find anything
to shake her belief in the fact that
she chose the better part when she
decided to stay single. She OBJ
serves that her sister has to work
ten times is hard as she does, even
If she is a working woman and
sister is one of the lucky ones

while she gets a pay envelope for
her work, and has money that no.
body presumes to dictate what she
shall do with, sister has never a
penny of her own, and has to so
like a beggar to her husband for
every cent Also she has to give
an account of what she did with
the quarter he gave her week be-
fore last. And Likewise husband

groans over how much it costs to
support a wife.
The spinster sees that she is bet
ter dressed than sister unless sister
happened to marry rich, and that
she looks about five years younger.
Moreover, the spinster observes
that in addition to everything else
that sister does, she has to spend
her time and energy in placating
husband, or else in quarreling with
him, and that, although it is polite
and complimentary to believe that
husband still loves sister, there's
no evidence upon which to base
this conclusion. Apparently it does
not take more than three months
to rub the gilt off the ginger
bread matrimony, and after that if
man feels any admiration, or
tenderness, for his wife he doesn't
take the pains to show it.
Thinks She's Better Of.
SO the spinster takes a good,
firm grip on her latchkey and her
pocketbook, and says that she's
better off than sister, and that she
doesn't envy any married woman.
And there's no bluff in that. She
is simply telling the truth. nine
times out of ten, when she makes
that assertion, for it is only too
sadly true that ideal marriages are
as scarce as hens teeth. and that
In the whole range of our ac-
quaintances we scarcely know one
couple who have made a success
instead of a failure of matrimony.
In the past the old maids boast
that she didn't marry because she
didn't want to may have been a
bluff and not sincere. because in
former days every woman had to
marry in order to get a home of her
own. That is not the case now.
Any woman can support herself
as well as husband is likely to
do 1t, and so matrimony has be-
come choice instead of a neces-
sity, and it is because women see
so few good husbands that they
are getting more and more afraid
of marriage, and to believe that it
is better to stick to the peace and
contentment they have than to risk
the danger of a heart breaking
disappointment in matrimony.
But the single woman knows
that while she may have missed
misery, she has also missed the
highest happiness. She has but
the half loaf, and she goes to her
grave hungering for the love, and
the man, and the child, and the
home that should be every wom-
ans portion.

OF the men were fording the stream
hard after the rash major.
Crossing without molestation,
they reached the top of the ridge,
when their troubles began In dead
earnest. From front and TANKS
they received a deadly fire from
the Indians and their Canadian al
lies. They had been ambushed, and
the invisible foe shot them down
like dogs.
Outnumbered three to one and
presently quite surrounded, they
fought like the brave men they
were until they realized that to re-
main longer was to be annihilated'
whereupon they broke through the
fiery Gordon and escaped as best
they could.
Sixty-seven Kentuckians were
killed outright and many Of the
wounded were afterWard massa-
cred. The loss of the Canadians
and Wyandottes was never known
as they carried away their killed
and wounded.
But the redmen made no more
trouble for Kentucky The treaty
of peace deprived them of their
British backing, and the United
States was left to deal with them
after its own way. The memory
OF the brave fight that was put uP

End of the Revolution
By REV THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TN HE last battle of the Revolu-
tionary war was fought at
Blue Lick, Kentucky, Au-
gust 90. 1882.
England died hard, and in ways
that were far from being in strict
keeping with international law
tried to postpone the final surren-
der as long as she could. 1t was
in consequence of such tactics that
the battle of Blue Lick was fought.
On the 18th of August, 1882, a
force of several hundred Canadians
and Wyandotte Indians laid siege
to Bryans Station. some five miles
from the present city of Lexington,
the capital of the famous Blue
Grass region.
The next day a party of 1870
frontlersmen commanded by Dan
lei Boone John Todd and Stephen
Trigg, fastened to the rescue, not
withstanding the fact that they
were greatly outnumbered by the
enemy.
Upon reaching the near neigh
borhOod of the station a council of
war was held to determine upon the
line of attack. Boone's advice was
to march silently up the river and
fall upon the rear of the enemy,
while, at the same time, the main
attack should be delivered in
front.
Unfortunately this sensible ad-
vice was spoiled by the rash action
of major named McGary, who
dashed his horse into the river,
shouting: Let all who are not
towards follow me-" OF course,
McGary's action was madness. but
it was madness that became in
stantly contagious, and soon most

n MAN asks these questions:
~ rs it not a bluff when an
old maid says that's she has
never onvied married woman.
and wouldn't trade places with
one, and that she is happier single
than she would be If she was mar
ried?"
Probably every man in the world
would answer these questions in
the affirmative and say yes; that
every old maid who pretended that
she was spinster from choice was
putting up bluff that any man
would call, but a woman would
reply to the question by saying
both yes and no.
Undoubtedly the old maid who
SCOTS at marriage and boasts Of
her single blessedness Is fibbing,
and putting a gay face on a sad
matter. Every human being
knows, every instinct teaches US.
that men and women are each in
complete without the other, and
that it takes both to round out the
full and perfect life.
What It Should Be.
Husband and wife, children and
home, are the materials out of
which real, lasting, soul satisfying
happiness is made, and no matter
what else one has, if one lacks
them. one has missed the best that
the gods have to bestow.
There is no other joy on earth so
exquisite as the companionship OF
the man and woman who are mated
as well as married, who have every
thought in common, and who find
in each other an exhaustless we'll
of sympathy from which they may
draw at will. There is no other in
terest in life so intense and indy
ing as that which people have in
their children; there can be no
happiness so sweet and serene as
that which comes from the feel of
little childrens arms about ones
neck, and the touch of baby's
hands within ones own.
There can be no occupation so
absorbing and so worth while as
the making of beautiful home to
be shrine for this lovely family
life.
This is what marriage should be.
1t is the ideal that we all see in
our dreams. 1t is the will-o'- the
wisp that beckons millions into
matrimony, and it is foolish for any
man or woman to say that he or
she has not dreamed the dream,

its pupils to work at practical
useful tasks, is a make-believe. and
every college student knows IT.
From the age Of six or seven and
upward the pupil should fesl that

Let All Go To School.


However, 1 would have every
man have college education in
order that he might see how lit
tie the thing is really worth. would
have every man rich that he might
know the Worthlessness Of riches.
To take young man away from
work, say at eighteen years of age,
and keep him from useful labor, in
the name of education, for four
years, will some day be regarded
as a most absurd proposition. It
is the most gigantic illusion Of the
age. Set in motion by theologians,
the idea was that the young per-
son should be drilled and versed in
sacred" themes.
Hence, the dead languages and
the fixed thought that education
should be esoteric.
This separation from the prac-
teal world for a number of years,
where no useful work was done,
and the whole attention fixed on
abstract themes and theories, often
tended to cripple the man so that
he could never go back to the
world of work and usefulness. He
was no longer a producer, and had
to be supported by tithes and taxes.
And, of course, as he did not In
tend to go back to the world of
work and usefulness, 1t really didn't
make any difference If he did sink

Candidate for Prosecuting At
torney.

In another column will be
found the formal announcement
of VIM. Aull, Jr., as a candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney of
Lafayette County, subject to the
action of the Democratic party
at the primary election Tuesday,
August 6, 1912.
This aspirant is "bred in
the bone" son of old Lafayette.
He was born in Lexington, and
was educated in the Public
Schools, Wentworth Military
Academy and the University of
Virginia. He is a young man
inherently energetic, possessed Of
fine sense of honor, and a
capacity for hard work that will
carry him over any obstacle. Mr..
Aull's thorough preparation for
the legal profession places him
in the front rank of the Lafay-
cite bar. And, as to his
democracy-he just couldn't be
anything else but a democrat. A
son of pioneer democratic stock
which has made the present inn
perial Missouri possible, claims
him as one of democracy's
staunchest supporters.
Mr.. Aull, if favored with the
nomination, will add materially
to the strength of the ticket, and
make success at the fall election
doubly sure. His election
would assure the people of La
fayette county a careful and in
telligent administration.

VIM. Desmond was to play the
part of "Fatty." And Fatty
was advertised as an awful fun
ny man. And he was. But his
trouble was that he got funny
too soon, and by the time for the
show to commence he was so fun
ny, he couldn't stand up. The
diminutive audience was waiting
for the curtain to rise for the
first act. when "Fattie s" man.
ager appeared and called off the
show on account Of FATTY S" i'll
ness. He let the cat out
when he concluded by saying
that they had been trying to get
Fatty" to the opera house all
evening. 1t was hard on the
management to bill and advertise
a show and to have to refund the
money, but it was done cheerfulb
by Mr.. Wright.
