NOT NOW GOODS AMOUNTED"
Kings Seem 10 Have Lost Much Of
cIsmor With Which They Once
Were Surrounded.
See Cor behold the kingl

See Tor behold the kingi
No one sees a king, unless, possibly,
at a game of poker. The proper thing
is always to behold him.
The king presides at functions, at
tends the race track, issues messages
TO constitutional bodies which have
previously been written by the min
listers, piles up debts and leads dou-
BILE life. He also attends wars, where
he occupies an important strategic
position with the other statesmen
who have brought on the war; at a
place called headquarters" which is
usually about eighteen miles in the
rear of the battle.
Some say that the king is a back
number. He has been held up to ridi-
cule SO long that even the proletariat
is no longer in awe of him. Still, by a
sort Of royal inertia, he continues to
exist-like the vermiform appendix.
Some kings are fat and others are
thin; some tall and others short; all
kings are uneasy; this king is no ex-
ception to the rule. He has a number
of crowns, some of them larger than
others, in order to fit the various sizes
of his head
He keeps on hand collection Of
prerogatives, which he uses more
sparingly than was his wont.
The king usually keeps dress suit
case packed with a few necessary
clothes in the event that he may have
to leave the throne and his creditors
In hurry. This shows that kings are
oftentimes wiser than they SEEM

Rich Seldom Extravauant,

Extravaganza, oddly enough, is not
habit of the rich SO much as it is
of the poor.
The Midases and Croesuses in every
neighborhood are pretty careful of the
dimes. They have a thrifty habit of
squeezing a dollar till the eagle
screams-and not so much is 1t
through miserliness as through the
habit Of conserving, saving.
With wealth comes the instinct to
save.
Millionaires use the street cars, or
probably walk. People with slender
purses loll about in taxicabs. Only the
very rich and the very poor can ar
ford to dress badly, is the saying. Who
are the people who dine with such
reckless extravaganza after the thea
ter in the cities? Among them are
there many millionaires?
Not many. They are more likely to
be having crackers and milk at home.

FIND CURE IN OCCUPATIONS
Many EmpIoyments, by Their Very
Nature, Give Strength to the Persons
Who Are Engaged Therein.

But few people are aware that there
are occupations that bring health, just
as those others bring disease in their
train. There is, for instance, the
coal tar occupation.
Tar with its strong, clean odor, acts
as an antiseptic, and those who work
in tar are immune to epidemic dis
eases. They are also very robust. The
feeble and anaemic, taking up this
trade in its various forms-the making
of dyes, the preparation of disinfect-
ant-soon become strong.
Steel workers also profit in health
from their occupation. The molten
steel gives off certain gases that have
a beneficent effect on the lungs and
nasal passages. Though subjected to
extremes of heat, steel workers prac-
tically never get consumption or ca
tarrh.
Dairying is another healthful occu-
patton, Jenner. of smallpox fame dis
covered that dairymen never get small
pox. 1t is also true that they prac-
tically never get consumption.
Bakers, if their bakeries are but
clean and airy, follow a trade that fat
tens the veriest skeletones. Butchers
are noted for their ruddy, robust build,
they, like the bakers, seeming to abb
sorb through their pores the nutriment
they work in. Chocolate and cocoa
makers in like manner are stout,
healthy folk
1t is well known that sealing wax
making is good for consumption-that
for incipient consumption it is, indeed,
almost a certain cure. All sealing wax
factories have on their waiting list a
number of conservatives, anxious to try
the occupational cure.

Conclusion Too Easily Drawn.

1T seems to me- quoth the person
who habitually does his thinking with
the heavy strokes upward, that some
times the editorial writer's on The Star
underestimate the intelligence of the
public. For example, in referring to
the outburst of a gentleman who
drank pint of whisky on Saturday
and awoke on Tuesday in Jail with the
charge hanging heavily over his head
of having set fire to two houses and
a barn, the writer of the item sarcas-
tically commented, Drunk, of course"

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1913-06-11

This Is a question very few OF us have
considered. Some think them merely
a place TO send the children to keep
them out of mischief at home, others
think them places of idleness and think
their children better off at home, while
very few really know the advantage
of schools. These few wide-awake, en-.
thusiastic patrons make the heart Of
our schools. To these few, all the
children Of this generation owe their
education. for II you we're to take away
these who know what our schools are,
our schools would be complete failure,

are many parents who have never heard
their children recite a lesson, in fact do
not even know whether they have class

Have you done your duty toward your

has not advanced as it should, could you
not have assisted it by visiting the
school and discussing its work with the
teacher The teacher am sure (if she
was wise and wide awake) would have
been glad to had such discussion If it
would have helped your child, for she
is interested in each little one trusted
to her, and is willing to do her utmost
for their advancement.
Parents are you afraid of the teacher

ATTRIBUTES OF NUMBER 7
NumeraI Associated Usually With
Holy Things-origlnal Jokes
Known to Mankind.

Pythagoras declared that while the
number three contained the most sub
lime mysteries, the number seven is
powerful for good or evil and is asso-
ciated especially with holy things, re-
marks Philip Hale in the Boston Her
aid. There are seven deadly sins
among Christians and Moslems; the
seven champions of Christendom, the
seven league boots, the seven sages Of
Greece, the seven sleepers of Ephes-
ties, the seven sorrows of Mary, the
seven heavens known to the cabalists,
the seven virtues, the seven wonders
of the world, the seventh son of sew
enth son. In the early church there
could be only seven deacons to each
town. Jacob served seven years for
Rachel. In the Bible we read of seven
bullocks, rams, men, sons, spirits,
stars, seals.
The strong gods pine for my abode,
And pine in vain for the sacred seven.
And why should there not be seven
original and only jokes? We have
never seen them in print or manu-
script. Undoubtedly one of them had
something to do with a mother-in-law.
Possibly when is a door not door,"
was one of them. OF this we may be
sure: Jokes told in the ark are re-
peated confidently today in musical
comedies, comic papers, clubs and
even by the happy fireside.

dispatches in announcing the retire.
ment from the ring of Battling" Mel
son say that he has been Sin the ring
for 1S years, which is an error. At the
time of the breaking out OF the Span
ish-American war, in 1893 or Is years
ago this summer, the battler was
then a butcher boy at Huron, and had
never seen ''the ring" He came TO
Sioux Falls with the Huron boys and
Unlisted in the First regiment. While
in camp in this city he put on the
gloves at least once at a night battle
along the hanks of the Sioux. The
bsttler was considered the champion of
the camp and was ready at all times to
meet all Corners. This, it is believed,
was the commencement of his ring
career, but he was not heard of as a
championship contender for some years
afterward.

BATTLING NELSON
Former South Dakotan a n d
Member of First Reg
iment

Pierre, May 1O.-Attorney Generol
Johnson holds that under the present
state laws a saloon mar can legally
sell liquor after the hour of closing
the polls on election day. This an
nouncement was made in response to
an inquiry from States Attorney Ser
geant, of Potter county, who calls
attention to the conflicting provisions
of chapter 222, of the laws of 1911, and
of section 1874, of the political code.
The law of 1911 allows saloons TO he
opened after the hour of 6 o'clock on
election day but does not say anything
about selling while the provisions of
the code prohibit the sale of liquor ON
election day without regard to hours.
1t is held in effect that the right to
keep open carries the right to sell,
and that the session law amends that
portion of the code covering the open
hours and selling in such hours.

kota in a northwesterly direction from
Sioux City, through which the inter
urban line will run. The counties
named are Union, Clay, Lincoln,

SHOCKED JUDGE
Woman's Hose Too Transparent
Indecent Exposure in

New York, May 10.-''I want to say
to that young lady in black that she is

LASH|NG OF BODIES
Part of the Creed of a Strange
Sectin Colorado

Trinidad, Colo, May 10.-In Longs
canyon an unfrequented place of Las
Animas county the Penitents, a strange
and falGtical religious sect, last week
performed their weird rites in atone
ment for the sins of th9 year. The
rites consist of a most devout Worship
in the adobe church that sets against
the bleak hillside, and in the scourag
ing O. themselves as a punishment.
Stripped to the waist the member of
this sect fog themselves with pieces OF
twisted soap weed until the blool flows
from the welts and cuts and until the
livid scars and stripes show where the
t~orturing thongs have scared the flesh.
This iagellation goes on early morn
ing and late afternoons toward sun
down.
Before and after the performance OF
the rites the Penitents huddle together
like lepers outside the walls of a Bibli.
cal city, their SCARED bodies touching
and exposed TO the bitter cold of the
wind that sweeps across the mesas.
During the services in the quaint little
church they keep up a wailing and
lanentation like lost souls crying in
their agony.
The iites end when, following the
oldest member bearing a huge cross,
the Penitents walk to q secluded spot
where they reproduce, in a crude
fashion, the cruci6xion.
The Penitents are old Mexicans who
live apart from the natives, and,
though widely scattered in residence,
they come in from all parts of the
country tc perform the rites. They
are extremely hostile to all who, from.
curiosity, seek tn witness the strange
ceremonies, and armed guards are
constantly on the alert to drive away
intruders and spectators.
For this reason very few pictures
have been taken of the Penitents and
a number of intrepid photographers
have been pursued and shot at.
The Penitents are not gentle in
their ~fiogRing, and frequently the old
or members have been overcome from
the pain CT self inflicted wounds and
death has sometimes resulted.
The Penitents are a branch of what
the encyclopedias record as the Flag
e~lantes, which were known to exist in
the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries
in different parts of Europe. The sect
is almost extinct, and the members
are dying off every year.
