Untitled to a square deal. and to
proper consideration, the same as
other people. Men who are accus-
toned to work in the mines, can.
not make good hands on the road,
as general rule, because they
work inside. and are not accus.
toned TO the heat and cold, and
they have good jobs and good work
in the mines and make good money,
and we think that the County
Judge and Fiscal Court should ar
range to assess the miners reas-
enable sum. and let them pay it in
money, and let this money he used
TO build up the roads in their neigh.
borhood. Many men who do not
work in the mines would he glad
TO take employment OF working on
the roads Tor the pay. We think
that better results would be oh
tanned in this way than attempt
to force the miners TO leave the
mines and work on the county
roads, but in this connection. we
want to give all square deal.
Now there has been a great deal
OF confusion and complaint in re-
gard to the Board of Supervisors.
If | am elected County Judge. ex-
pect to appoint three good citi-
zens among the farmers, and men
who know the value of farm land,
and are acquainted with the farm
lands OF the county and one busi-
ness man, or merchant. and one
man who is interested in coal de-
velopment of Knox county, in or
der that all of our people may be
represented by experienced men.
and expect to instruct the Board
of Supervisors to use discression
and Judgment is raising peoples
property, and to first know what
they are doing, before they accuse
people of swearing falsely to their
list, and have them called to town,
aud losing time and paying out
money for expenses.
am informed that the Board of
Supervisors last year notified $500
citizens OF Knox county TO appear
and show cause why their taxes
should not he raised. The law al
lows the Clerk SOC each for issuing
these notices. and the Sheriff soc
each for serving them, and this
item of expense alone amounted
10 So. 10000. besides the addition
al time consumed by the Board
OF Supervisors. making the extra
expense in all about So. 10000.
Now if the taxes were a dollar on
the Hundred, they would have to
raise the property $250.0O0.O0 to
pay this expense and this expense
comes off OF the tax payer, and
not only that. 1900 men would
have TO leave their homes. lose
their time and pay their expenses
Of coming to Barbourville, and in
many instances have to employ
lawyers to represent them. ex'
pect to say TO the Board oi Sup
ervisors. they should he certain
that man had improperly listed
his property before they put the
county to this expense, and the
citizens to this trouble. What is
the use to pay out a dollar and
quarter to get a dollars worth
of taxes. unless you merely want
to help the Clerk aud the Sheriff

A Soldier Of Napoleon.

DR.. w. w. Keen, one of the most dis
tinguished of living surgeons, some
times tells his frien is how he assisted
in an operation on a soldier of Napole-
on:
I'm 1862, while a student at the JEFF
ferson Medical college, Prof. S. D. Gross
my teacher of surgery took me in his
carriage to house in the northeastern
part Of the city to give chloroform for
him-he always used chloroform-for
an operation. The patient, a man of
seventy and over, had been wounded
just fifty years before, at the battle Of
Borodino in 1912, at the time of the
disastrous retreat from Moscow. The
ball had buried itself in the calf of the
leg and had not emerged. A mere flesh
wound at Borodino was not Of much
account. There were other fish to fry.
After lying there quietly imbedded in
the tissues for half century the bullet
had at last worked its way to the sur
face, and finally caused an opening
through the skin. One day, through this
opening, the old fellow had pried 1t out
with hairpin; but the wound did no.,
get well. There was small but annoy
ing discharge and moderate but con-
tinuous pain. Some hard substance
could be felt deep in the tissues.
This Professor Gross proposed to
remove. Accordingly, when he had laid
out all his instruments and, as was his
custom, had whetted his knife on his
boot--a fine septic procedure!-but re-

Got Out to count.-A Harvard stu
dent who, for obvious reasons, does not
care to have his name appear, passed
up this one: "A cousin of mine in the
western part Of the state came to Bos-
ton for visit and dropped out at
Cambridge to call on me. He asked If
he could share my room with me that
night and I told him he could If he
came in early enough. He started for
theatre and when midnight came
without any trace Of him, called in
my regular room mate who had sought
quarters elsewhere to make room for
my cousin. l decided that my relative
was going to make night of it, in
town.
I'VE had hardly got to sleep, how
ever, when he came in, packing high
ly favored breath. We said nothing
and he soon climbed into the bed with
us. Everything was quiet for few
minutes, when suddenly he sat up, put
his mouth close to my ear and whisper
ed: Jim, there are six feet in this
bed!' Forget it, said, you're crazy
With that he climbed out CROPPED his
way and began to paw our feet. You're
right he said after a minute. I've

along one day and contemplated the

creaked. The countryman turned to a

The Mysterious Mr.. Wind.-It was
the coolest day Arkansas had ever ex-
perienced. In a little village in the
northern part of the state an old color
ed man emerged from his shack short
" after 10 o'clock in the morning. He
was weighed down with clothing carry
ing at a conservative estimate, about
one hundred and ninety pounds OF
wool and yarn. including three coats
two pair of trousers. and double
equipment of socks. So burdened was
he by his wraps, that he could hardly
walk. Just as he reached the street
corner, a fierce gust of wind hit his
tottering form and spun him half
around.
AS soon as he could get his breath,
he gasped out:

USED WATER EIGHT TIMES
Stream Diverted for Power, irrigation
and City Supply.

and City Supply.
Power can be developed upon many
surface streams and applied to the re-
covery Of the water of the streams af-
ter it has sunk into the earth in the
lower lands of the valleys says paper
in the United States Geological Survey
report. An instance of this character,
according to the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, is to be found along Santa
Ana River in southern California. A
part of the water of this river Is stored
in a reservoir in the Can Bernardino
Mountains and the flow Of the stream
is thereby regulated. After 1t escapes
from the reservoir it is diverted through
a power plant and electric power Is
generated. Below this power plant 1t Is
rediverted, and passed through Sec
ond power plant. Below this it Is all
distributed and used for municipal pur-
poses and irrigation about Redlands
and Highlands. The waters that return
from the irrigation are recovered In
springs and flowing wells and by pump
ing plants. a portion of the power de-
veloped higher up on the stream being
used for the pumping. This recovered
water Is used for irrigation about San
Bernardino and Riverside. A part Of 1t
reappears in the river above Riverside
Narrows where it is again taken out
into a power ditch whose waters are re-
turned to the river above Corona. A
few miles below, 1t is picked up by ca
nails and distributed to the orange and
deciduous groves about Anaheim and
Santa Ana. The portion of it that re-
turns there by irrigation to the ground
water is once more recovered by the
many pumping plants and flowing wells
west OF Santa Ana.
A single drop of water in it's progress
from the mountains to the sea, dis
tance of only 100 miles, may thus be
used as many as eight times for. power
and irrigation.

GAVE PIG FOR EACH TURK.
Harsh Terms Of Exchange Laid Down
BY the Montenearins.

The present Is by no means the first
occasion on which prisoners have been
taken in a war between Turkey and
Montenegro, the Westminster Gazette
says. In the hostilities of 1903 the
Montenegrin "Vladka" was prisoner
at Scutari, and 1t was necessary to sell
all the holy vessels in the Cettinje
church in order to raise the ransom of
1000 golden ducats demanded for his
release.
In the hostilities of 1907. on the other
hand, Turks fell into the hands of the
mountaineers, who showed their hatred
and contempt for their Ottoman enc
mics by insisting that the ransom
should be for every man pig. An en-
inent English statesman once based on
this incident an elaborate defense Of
the Montenegrins against the charge Of
cruelty; but it Is fairly safe to affirm
that their intentions were offensive
rather than humane.
