1T HAPPENED IN PIcADILLY
Aneedote of Lady Constance Stewart
Richardson and the Awkward
Young Man.

LADY Constance Stewart Richard
son, the beautiful young woman who
danced over here some time ago, has
offended Queen Mary" said a Wash
ington diplomats wife. "She actually
told the queen to stand out Of the
light at a picture exhibition.
Lady Constance, you know, is capa-
Bile of anything. They are telling an
anecdote about her at the Bath club.
"She was walking in Picadilly the
other day-so the anecdote runs-and
a young man attempted to pass her
on the right, when she also turned
that way. The young man then veered
to the left, and Lady Constance did
the same And there they stood for
a minute or more, overcome by that
ridiculous something which makes two
people, face to face on a wide side
walk, dodge simultaneously this way
and that without being able to pass
each other by.
Lady Constance, after nine or ten
of these awkward movements, smiled
demurely and said:
Well, I'm sure, If you want to
dance, don't mind-but what's It to
be, the turkey trot or the grizzly
bear?"-Washington Star.

claimed that the sale Of coca-cola should
be suppressed. Possibly this is true, but
how are we TO do it! We simply have
no way to accomplish such an end, even
if it were best that it should be done, for
with my limited observation, if as we
believe, we are compelled to have some
form of artificial stimulation, we had
possibly just as well have coca-cola, as
any of the rest Then when we know
that we cannot suppress its sale or its
manufacture, and since we know of its
stimulating properties, and still further
knowing shat over-stimulation produces
disease, would i. not be better to lend
our efforts TO teaching that moderation
is the price Of health, in taking either
coca-cola or other stimulants? In this
way, we might accomplish something in
our limited sphere Of useful activity
For TO stop its sale, we can never do.

Violin Brings Farmer Wealth.

Finding himself suddenly possessed
Of violin evidently Of great value,
Charles Riley, a Gettysburg farmer
Of moderate circumstances, is now
happy over the turn Of affairs which
he believes has freed him for the rest
Of his life from financial worries. The
violin was supposed to be worthless
and came to him in the distribution of
his fathers personal effects.
Riley thought little of the instru-
ment until he was offered $50 for II.
He then suspected that 1t might be
worth more, and refused the offer.
Gradually the would-be purchaser in
creased his offer until it reached
$500, which Riley still refused.
Later in the day an effort was made
by another person to buy the violin,
but Riley is holding on to it until he
can obtain more. The instrument
bears the date "17O3," which is carved
on it. His father purchased It at q
public sale.

Blue Grass Seed Pool.

A number of the largest owners OF
grass lands in Fayette and Woodford
counties have organized pool Of the
crop of bluegrass seed grown upon their
farms this spring and will establish a
seed-cleaning plant to prepare the pro-
duct for sale direct to the retail pur-
chaser. AS the great stock farms are
the largest producers OF bluegrass, the
members of the pool include: James B.
Haggin, Elmendorf farm; David NJ.
Look, Castleton farm; L. V. Hardness,
Walnut Hall; W. E. Simms, WOODBURY.;
John E. Madden, Hamburg Place; Henry
L. Martin, Samuel L. HALEY, G. Clay
and Joseph Hall. 1t is estimated that
between l25, 900 and $50, O6O bushels of
seed have been pooled, and any grower
who wishes may join the pool. 1t is ex-
pected that a much larger quantity will
be included before the pool is closed
The pool wrs organized because the
dealers. it is said, had formed trust to
hold down the price paid for the seed
and offer a much lower price than that
paid last year. The promoters of the
pool will bring better price to the
grower of seed and viii also afford the
purchaser an opportunity to get alb
solutely pure seed, the latter being a
great advantage in view of the fact that
there is much complaint of bluegrass
seed being adulterated. In order to
handle the pool and clean the seed the
poolers also have organized the Ken
lucky Bluegrass Seed Company, Of
which C. II. Bergman, manager of
Elmendorf. is manager.

Bird SLAUGHTER Concerned.

A strong protest is being made in
South Australia against the continual
slaughter Of such rare birds as the
ibis, the egret. cranes and spoonbills
to supply the demands Of milliners.
The slaughter is Objectionable not
only as destroying some OF the most
beautiful and interesting creatures Of
nature, but, according to the Journal
Of Agriculture. also as rendering
South Australia ever more prone to
plaques of grasshoppers. and is a
prime cause of the decline OF its fish
resources. As The wandering birds dis
appear the crustaceans that destroy
fish spawn increase the multitude.

Great Credit Due Mr.. Sullivan.

Judge Sullivan has for years been a
leading and influential man and ranks
high in the Democratic councils Of Ken
lucky, says the Danville Advocate. To
him the Democrats owe greater debt
Of gratitude than to any other single
man for the GROWING victory last fall,
when Hon. James b. McCreary and his
splendid ticket carried the State by
10000 majority. Judge Sullivan is a
plain, fOrceful speaker, and presents
himself in strong and convincing man
ner. He takes great pride in his record
of readjusting the common school
system Of Kentucky. He was leader
in the great educational awakening
which swept this State in 1907. The
Advocate from the outset was heartily
in favor Of the whole plan, save the
normal schools, but they have proven
success beyond all expectations Judge
Sullivan explained his efforts along this
line at Shelbyville Monday He said at
the outset that the statistics showed
that Kentucky was tagging in the rear
from an educational point of view, yet
an abundant sum of money, it seemed,
was being expended to place the State
upon the very highest plane. Prominent
educators throughout the State realized
that there was something wrong with
the educational system, but all agreed
that enough money was being expended
and that the State was extremely liberal
in providing free schools. With those
facts to orerate upon, Judge Sullivan
and the large number of others interest
ed set about to formulate a system
which would bring better results, yet
cost no more. This result was accom-
plished and all teachers and educators
throughout the State readily make testi-
mony to that effect. a large element of
ilhteracy has already been wiped out in
the State and the good foresight of those
who led the fight has been demonstrate
ed by the test. When it is known that
the great improvements were made
without additional taxation, but with
the fund which was regularly expended,
the course will naturally be applauded
as wise one.
