Ia Conducting the Affairs
at Lexington
From Courier-Journal

FRANZ FORT. KY, FEB. 29.-lu a
report signed by Senator E. f.
Hogg, Representatives Is. 5. Wilson,
5en L. Niles, and Sydney G. Clay,
members of the legislative commit
tee that pr obed into the affairs OF
the State University at Lexington,
submitted to the House OF Repre-.
sentatives late this afternoon, Presl-
dent Henry S. Barker and other oth-
cials of the institution are given
clean bill of health, and are referred
to as capable, efficient and faithful. y
The committee recommends, howev-
er, that the annuity OF $4,000 that
the university trustees have been
allowing former President James X.
Patterson be cut off, taking the pc.
sition that there is nothing in the
law governing the institution that
justi6es such outlay, and that the
allowance heretofore granted a de
serving woman formerly connected
with the institution also be discon-
tinued. Judge Barker said tonight
that the woman referred to is a sis
ter-in-law of former United States
Senator Blackburn.

Professor Barnard concludes from
his personal observation OF cobras In
Ceylon that the serpent's traditional
love for music is a pure fable. and that
the only effect Of music is to arouse
the reptiles curiosity, which is excited
by any loud and acute sound. The
cobra protrudes its head from its bur
row alike on hearing the snake charm
ers flute. the rafting Of chain or
the sounds made by beating the
ground with a switch. 1t appears to
perceive only sounds OF high pitch. for
it pays no attention to the low note
OF the flute or the bagpipe Of drum.
Professor Barnard has also confirmed,
In Ceylon. the results of observations
made in the geological gardens on the
supposed power OF fascination exerted
by serpents upon birds. and he con-
cludes that this power Of fascination
is also purely imaginary,

The condition of the streets of
the town, again unpleasantIy re-
mind us that something should be
done to make the streets of the
business part of the town more
passible. There is now a strong
sentiment in the town for grading
and oiling the streets in the bust
ness section, and this should be
done as soon rs the weather per
mitS. The drainage of the streets
has been very bad, and the broom
corn market, where there is more
produce bought and sold every
year than any other place in town,
is always a lake after rain or
thaw of the snow. These matters
not only affect the convenience of
the men in town, but offer a seri-
Gus handicap to the farmers that
come here to trade. One of the
first things for the town to do
when it opens its spring campaign
for business, will be to fix the
streets of the town, and the roads
whichlead into town.

Some OF the wedding "reminiscences
Of the old man in the chimney cor
ner-Aif there IL chimney corner,

ling in their financial simplicity, at
least when viewed from the modern
cut.glass and SSO-a-m0nth apartment
point OF view. Get the old man to
talking some time and fihd out how
much his wedding journey cost him
and how much capital he had on
which to set up the business OF house
keeping, Some OF these "reminiscences
are almost unbelievable, they show
such simple confidence in Provi-
dence and good luck and the ultimate
working out OF things for which no
present provision could be made.
Quite a typical honeymoon Of so
orr 20 years ago was the prairie
schooner voyage. Back In Indiana or
Ohio or some other OF the thickly set
tied communities the affair would
start with two loving hearts and two
strong and willing pairs Of hands.
The lovers would have an Astounding
faith In themselves and in the future.
Otherwise the lovers assets would In
cIude So In cash. Sunday suit Of
clothes more or less homespun, a
good constitution. and q father who
stood ready to give him upon the
wedding day his parental blessing and
yoke Of oxen and the wagon in.
which to 90 west and take up home
stead
The modern mother Is not often to,
be found who could view such a stock,
and bondless venture without fore
holdings. But the mothers OF that day
do not appear to have been appalled,.
Mary is strong and willing" the
mother would say. 1--WE taught her
how 10 cook and sew and keep house
and II do say It, she does me credit. "
The wedding outfit was simple In
the extreme, most OF 1t was home
made, costing little but loving work.
Then the honeymoon followed. out in
to the west. with no especial destina-
ton. no money for trousseaus and
tips and bridal suites and furniture
and nat rent. A little cabin some
where was put up by the new hus-
band himself upon likely 100 acres,
the latter the wedding present Of the
United States.
Such cOurtships and weddings cost
Titles beyond a great capital OF cour-
age. From them have come the men
OF today, who think 1t necessary to
bestow grand pianos and European
bridal voyages upon their sons and
daughters before a wedding Of today
can be properly solemnized.

Better Weather

The first real break in the storm
occurred this week. For the past
four weeks we have been in the
grip of the worst cold spell the
country has seen for many years.
The thermometer ranged from
30 below zero to 40 above. There
was some inconvenience from the
cold wave and some loss of stock,
but on the whole this section of
the country Jared exceedingly we'll.
The storys of suffering from other
sections are numerous, but Liberal
and vicinity got along very we'll.
