the prevalence of the hook
worm disease in Breathitt
county was made today when
DR. /. A. Shirley, of the
Rockefeller Foundation Fund
for the Eradication of Hook
worm, made his report.
He found that of the 1,7S5
persons examined. 1,263 were
infected with 'hookworm and
were treated, while 632
showed other intestinal para
sites, leaving but 446 entirely
free from some kind OF
worms.
According to Dir. Shirley.
the malady is responsible for
more sickness in the south
than any other disease. He
says that Breathitt is the first
county in Central or Eastern
Kentucky to take up sys-
tenlatic fight against the pest.

Times Inquiry Department:
WIN you please inform me II the Order OF
MlsOns founded from the Bible. and
about what time 1t first spoken of? Can
the highest degree be taken in this coun-
try? READER.
Legend and imagination have traced
back the origin of Free Masonry to
the old Roman empire, the Pharaohs,
the Temple of Solomon, or even the
times of she Tower Of Babel and the
Ark OF Noah. 1t is claimed that recent
excavations in Egypt accord with the
tradition that the order was in existence
when the pyramids were built. The
masonic craft probably became org9n
ized about the same time, and from the
same set of causes as other crafts, but
variety OF circumstances combined to
give it importance and influence beyond
the rest. The history of Free Masonry
is oVerlaid with interesting legend. In
its modern form il is of British origin,
and dates from the seventeenth CEN
fury. According to its phraseology, ut
Is founded in the practice of moral and
social virtue; its distinguished charac-
teristics are charity in its most extend
ed sense. and brothcrly love, relief, and
truth are inculcated by its precepts. Its
real founders were Elias Ashmole and
some of his literary friends, who devised
a set of symbols borrowed in part from
the knights Templar, between whom
and the old Masons an intimate relation
is said to have existed, and in part from
the rOscrucians. The symbols that
have been adopted as the distinguishing
badge Of the brotherhood of Free and
Accepted Masons include the sun, the
moon, the cOmpasses, square, and trt-
angle. A number of degrees have been
established, the three principal ones
being the apprentice, fellOw-craft and
master-mason. The statistics of Ma
sonry for the year 1908 show member

Plays That Preach Won't
Do, Says Munsey Writer

Il defy the managers to produce a
theatergoer who likes to be preached
to-" writes Matthew White, tr., in his
Stage Comment in The Munsey for
March. " The Talker, advertised as A
play that married women should see,
emphasizes anew the playWTights' craze
for preaching. Is it any wonder that
business is growing so bad in the
theaters, with dramatists and audiences
arrayed against each other in this
Way?"

The little princess FASTENED to her
father and did as the gOVelncss had told
her. At first the King did not take her
request as serious. but when he found
the princess was very unhappy because

For while the Queen was all kind

felt he had done right in doing as hls

One day, however, the Queen went

returned she had with her five girls,
whom she presented to the King as
her daughters. She had not told the
King she was widow, but had kept
the daughters out OF sight until she
was safely married to the King.
From that day IN" poor little Princess

FOR LITTLE FOLK JUST BEFORE BEDTIME
The Sandman Stories
THE WICKED QUEEN.

- nee upon time there was a
King who had an only daugh-
" ter, and, as his wife was dead,
he looked around TO find a good
woman to care for the little princess
and guide her in the right way TO be-
come good woman.
One day a mothery looking woman
called at the castle and she was engaged
to care for the princess.
The little princess became so fond of
her new governess that she began TO
wish she were her mother. and one day
she said, "Oh that you had been my
mother, dear governess ! have never
known mothers care, but ] am sure
mother could not have been kinder to
me than you have been, and | know I
could not love her better than do you"
Then the GOVerncss was struck with
the idea of becoming Queen.
My dear princess" she said, III you
