VALUABLE RELICS Of
PREHISTORIC PEOPLE
Presented To Kentuckynist
Society-Human SkeI.
etOns Included.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 15.-The ia
nous Curtis collection of archaeo
logical specimens gathered from the
Fox farm, in Mason county, has been
presented to the Kentucky Historical
Society. There are 1000 OF these
specimens, comprising pitchers
vases, articles of pottery and many
things which are not known to the
use of mankind to-day.
They were taken from the grave
yard of prehistoric race, which in
habited Central Kentucky and the
Ohio River Valley thousands OF
years before the mound builders
came on the scene of action, and il
is supposed that, owing to the fertil-
ity of the soil in the vicinity of the
Fox farm and because it lay between
Maysville and Blue Lick Springs.
where the buffalo and other wild an
imals of this continent went to lick
the salt rock, there was an immense
city of these prehistoric people.
Many of the skeletons of these
people were taken from their graves
in a fair state of preservation and
carried to the Smithsonian Institute,
as were also many of the specimens.
w. J. Curtis, of Robertson,
wealthy farmer, became interested
and began to make the collection for
the archaeological Institutes of New
York and Columbus, but when he
learned that the Historical Society
had fire-proof rooms in the new Cap
itol, he decided that the specimens
he had collected should not be taken
from the State, and presented them
to the Society. They will be shipped
to this city as soon as the Society
can secure the cases to hold them.

MOTHERHOOD RECOGNIZED
AMONG SCH00ITEACHERS
By the New York Supreme Court
Mrs. Bridget PeixOtto
Ordered ReinStated.

New York, Nov. 15.-Motherhood
among schoolteachers to-day was
given the sanction of the Supreme
Court when Justice Seabury decided
that the Board of Education had no
right to dismiss Mrs. Bridget c.
Peixotto from Public School No. IA,
in the Bronx, when she became a
mother on April /, 1913.
Declaring the contention of the
Board of Education that Mrs. Peix-
otto was neglectful in her duty when
she left her employment to give
birth to her child was inconsistent,
and could not be upheld in a Court
of law or by any Board of Educa-
ton, the Justice issued a peremp-
tory writ of mandamus compelling
the board to reinstate Mrs. Peixitto
Justice Seabury, in his decision,
went fully into the question of ma
ternity as it affects schoolteachers.
Serious personal Illness he
says, includes illness caused by ma
ternity, and the absence of Mrs.
Peixotto was therefore excusable
The policy of our law favors mar
riage and the birth of children, and
! know of no provision of our stat
ute law or any principle of the CON-
mon law which justifies the infer
ence that public policy which con-
cededly sanctions the employment OF
married women as teachers treats as
grounds of expulsion that of a mar.
ried woman in giving birth to q
child"

In summing up the result of the
recent election, Mr.. Perry Crowder
that erstwhile rantankerous old-line
Republican, writing in the Hartford
Bull Moose organ says:
will say | am only too proud
of the good showing made by a
combination of the two factions
of the old time Republicans in
Ohio county"
Writing in The Hartford Herald
only a little over a year ago (being
denied space. as he said, in his own
party paper here) Mr.. Crowder, in
speaking of the newly organized
Bull Moose party. said:
II am fearful the newborn
baby party will prove to be a
bastard, conceived in sin and
born in iniquity."
Evidently Mr.. Crowder seems to
be glad to take this nameless crea-
ture into his bosom and cherish it,.
oh, Consistency! thou art indeed a
Jewel.
