ONCE more the poor old patient con-
sumer must dig down into his pockets
and pay tribute 10 trust This time
il is the coal trust. for the announce
ment has been made that the usual
spring and summer discount Of 30 cents
per ton will not be allowed this year.
The excuse given for this latest raid
on the public's purse is that there is a
shortage, and that it costs more 10 mine
coal, on account Of the increased pay
granted TO the miners.
Ii is known that there is no coal short
age. The coal trust expected. long be-
fore the expiration Of the miners con-
tracts in April that there would be a
shutdown. and in anticipation Of that
shutdown they stored up vast quantities
Of coal Instead Of shortage there is
an actual oversuppiy. The increased
paw 10 the miners amounts to 3 - cents
per ton. which is considerably less than
the 30 cents per ton the trust VIII save
by refusing the usual discounts. Ii is
the same old routine Of exacting a large
tribute from the public on the strength
Of a small. advance to The workers. Thus
the public pays not only the strike
which was not strictly speaking, a
strike, cut rather a temporary shutdown
pending readjustment Of contracts with
The miners. but for the increased nav 10

THE following from the pen of the
lamented George ID. Prentice, which is
taken from the pages Of his MANS
Higher Destiny" 1T cannot be that
the earth is mans only abiding place.
Ii cannot be that our life is a mere bub-
bic cast up by eternithy to float moment
on its waves and then sink into nothing
ness. Else why is it that the glorious
aspirations which leap like angels from
the temple of our hearts are forever
wandering unsatisfied? Why is /; that
all the stars that hold their festival
around the midnight throne are set
above the grasp Of our limited faculties,
forever hooking us from their unap-
proachable glory! And, finally, why is
il that bright forms Of human beauty
presented TO our view are taken away
from Us. leaving the thousand streams
Of our affections to float back in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts? There is a
realm that never fades; where the stars
viii spread out before us like islands
that slumber in the ocean; and where
the beautiful beings which now pass
before us like shadows will will stay in
our presence forever"

Gov. McCreaY Recalls Epi-
Sode When He Had a Narrow
Escape With His Life.

A break for liberty on the part of con-
victs in the Frankfort penitentiary and
a story of gratitude on the part of one of
the convicts to the man who had de-
Tended him when accused, was told the
other day by Gov. McCreary when in a
reminiscent mood. The break" took
place when Gov. McCreary was in the
Governors office thirty-five years ago.
The Governor IN talking about it said:
''One Sunday Mrs. McCreary and
had been to church. It was a very hot
day and when | wen. back to the man.
sion was so hot that l removed my
coat, vest and collar, opened my shirt
and took off my shoes. was sitting in
the hall doing when | heard a COM
motion on the outside. ran to the door
and saw convicts in their striped suits
dropping over the prison wall so fast
that one could hardly count them as
they hit the ground. They had built
series of steps on the inside of the wall,
climbed TO the top and dropped down on
the outside.
Without thinking about my disarray
and the fact that | did not have on
shoes. ran down the street calling for
others to come and help check the
break. John Griffin, now superintendent
of the Frankfort Water Company, was
living across the street from the man.
sion and he ran to my assistance. just
as neared the place where the convicts
were going over the wall one convict,
who had escaped, picked up large
bowlder and said TO me:
If you come a step farther i will
brain you
''As / had no weapon, naturally
hesiiated and stopped. The convict
still threatened me with The stone when
a trusty ran up from the gate. He had
been attracted TO the scene by the noise
and cries When he saw the man with
the stone drawn back TO hurl at me he
called out TO the convict:
Don't hit that man; that is the
Governor
with that he hurled himself on the
convict and the two went to the ground
in a rough and tumble fight. The
'trusty' hammered the other man with
his fist and finally beat him into help
lessness. He sat on the PROSTATE form
Of his fellow convict until all trace OF
resistance had ceased and the guards
had come up. Then he arose.
''The man who saved me from being
struck was client of mine. He and
his brother had been tried in Madison
county for the killing of man. The
brother escaped altar his conviction and |
was never heard Of again. He said that |
my client had nothing to do with the |
shooting and did not know anything I

No Christmas Money For
Teachers.

County school teachers of the State
are almost certain to lose their Christ
mas money under the operation of the
new law extending from December l to
81 the date when sheritfs must make
final settlement of tax collections with
the State Auditor. Assistant State
Auditor g. B. Likens took the matter up
with Assistant Attorney General Morris
to ascertain when the penalty goes on
the sheriffs. The law was passed at the
instance Of Senator Claude Thomas at
the recent session. 1t gives the sheriff
thirty days longer than heretofore to
make final settlement, and deferS the 6
per cent. penalty on him for that length
of time. Under the old law requiring
settlement the first of December suf-
ficient money was brought in to the
teachers before Christmas. This year
they cannot get their money until early
in January.

W. H. Wherrest, aged 81. one OF the
Oldest and most highly revered citizens
of Lancaster, was found dead in bed
Friday. The death of Mr.. Wherrett re-
moves one Of the most historic charac-
tiers Of that city, having been a contin-
uous resident since 1850, having been
prominent in local affairs, and having
filled several municipal and civic Offices.

Mr.. C. S. Minter, who was kicked by
horse about three weeks ago, died at
his home on Boonesbero pike, Monday
night as result of his injury While
his condition was regarded as serious
from the outset, friends of this excellent
citizen felt that his brave fight for life
would be rewarded by his restoration to
health. However, the past week wit
messed a great change for the worse and
the spirit of this much admired gentle
man passed to the Great Beyond. De-
ceased was sixty-four years of age, and
was born in Lee county, Virginia, and
moved co Kentucky early in life. He
came from Owsley county to Madison
about sixteen years ago, where he made
many friends and admirers. He was a
very pleasing gentleman, one Of the old
school. and those who knew him could
but admire his gentle and many traits.
