having left there Wednesday eve
ming about Z o'clock.
The State Guard was on duty but

fore, hence the soldiers returned

The boys we're well pleased with
their outing Only one soldier was
ill during the time the company was
in camp and he recovered without
being sent to the hospital.
The company went up to the top
of the Pinnacle last Monday and
tested their ability to stand the alti-
tude and did it well. only three of
them bleeding slightly at the nose.
The Madisonville company won
out as the best drilled company in
the Third regiment.
The Henderson company brought
lack with them and exhibited on the
platform at the station a couple Of
rattlesnakes in box. The man who
had charge of them said that he
caught them up in the mountains.
but it developed that he bought
them from man who lives on the
mountains around Middlesboro.
The Third Regiment band sustain
ed it's reputation as the best in the
State Guard and won the applause
of all when Director Lebkuecher had
the band out.
On arriving at the station and af-
ter unloading their camp equipage
the soldiers gathered at the armory
and left their arms and outfit. At
ter patronizing the soda fountains
freely they were soon at home again
to rest up and get ready to take ur

Mr.. Bryan'S Income.

The English journals. following
the lead of partisan leaders in Wash
ington, are loud in their denuncia-
tion Of Secretary of State who con-
tlnues to practice his profession in
order to increase his official income.
Mr.. Bryan is a lawyer as well as
platform speaker or lecturer, but he
seems 10 have left the bar that he
might give his whole time to lectur-
ing.
From these lectures Mr.. Bryan
says his income was about $40. 900
and that from that income he has
been able to lay aside $4,000 year
for his old age and for his children.
In office he gets S12 900 and. meet
ing the social duties of that posi-
tioh, he finds nothing left for the fu-
ture.
Shall he for four years surren der
his place on the platform, interrupt
his plans for future support, and
take the chances of a continuing
popularity, or shall he, as occasion
permits, continue on the platform in
the face of partisan critics?
He decides to remain aud that de-
cision concerns no one but himself.
Lawyers go from the Senate into
the courts to earn fees, when they
are offered them. Webster frequent
ly left his place in the Senate TO ap-
pear in the Supreme Court.
Justices of the Supreme Court have
had Lecture engagements under
which, for pay. they eXpounded the
law.
Mr.. Bryan is frugal, but frugality
and foresight are admirable traits
Mr.. jefferson neglected his private
affairs when in public life. but he
had in his old age to apply for legis-
lative permission to dispose of some
of his property by lottery.
The Justices of the Supreme Curt
have pensions provided for old age,
which should extend to their widows,
but do not. For members of the
cabinet there is no pension, and
rarely any hereafter in public life.
In openly appearing on the platform
and frankly declaring that he is max
ing provisions for a rainy day, Mr..
Bryan sacrifices neither his dignity
nor his self re spect nor his influence,
and for his course there are sufficient
