Mr.. Otto A. Rothert.
My Dear Sir:

made distinctly valuable
contribution to the history of
Kentucky in giving in such
detail. and with elaborate and
costly illustrations. the history
of one of its principal counties.
The founders of Muhlenberg
were typical of the early settlers
of the State. and their develop
ment with the times and during
the epochs of Kentucky history,
might be the story of many an
other county of the Common
wealth. Perhaps you have been
fortunate in taking county of
abundant resources by the gift
of Nature, and of a citizenship
which took an active part in four
wars, and in all the civic con-
tests from the beginning to the
present day.
You have preserved. in a form
which will not fade, these types
of men and women, of habits
and customs, and of dwelling
places and work. shops; indeed
of all that makes a picture of
the people and their times.
You have drawn pioneer, a
picture so interesting and so
clear in all the lines, in Michael
Sewers the adventurous trader
and soldier, the unerring rifle
man who was with Jackson at
New Orleans, that your book is
invaluable were there not hund-
reds of similar pen pictures
in it.
Those who love the history of
Kentucky, and reverence the
fathers and mothers of the gen.
erations that have come and
gone and that still live, owe you
a debt of gratitude for the labor
you have devoted to your work
and for the interesting and en-
gaging narrative you have writ
ten. / should think every fami.
ly in Muhlenberg county would
get copy.of your book. to keep
by them for frequent enjoy
ment and to pass down to the
children. | am sure all students
of Kentucky's achievements will
find in it matter of great value
and of unusual interest.
With wishes for your success
and for due appreciation of this
history, and that you may not
stay your hand but give us other
work from it,
Very truly, etc.,

BELIEVES WOMAN
INFLUENCED HUSBAND
Mrs. Dora wade Thinks Christian Sci
enlist to Blame; Files SUIT t.
Have VIII Set Aside.

Alleging that she believes that her
former husband. e. ]. Hill, now deceased
was Unduly influenced when he made
his viii in favor of Mrs. NJ. /. Arm
strong, Christian Scientist, Mrs. Dora
Wade Wednesday afternoon filed suit
in the county probate court to have the
will set aside. In addition to Mrs
Armstrong, who is eXecutriX under the
viii, John I. Dyer and J. F. Prlmm'
sureties of Mrs. Armstrong; bond, are
also named as defendants.
Mrs. Wade declares in her petition
that Mrs. Armstrong is a Christian Sci
enlist, and that she claims to have
mysterious, special mental power Mrs
Wade says she is unable to say whether
these claims are true or not but be-
lieves that Mrs. Armstrong employed
such powers for the purpose of in
ducing her former husband to make his
viii for her benefit.
In addition to this allegation there
is another to the effect that the de
was not capable of doing so, inasmuch
as he was under the influence of
Opiates. having undergone an opera
ton The operation was performed for
gall stones. The deceased died last
February 3. Some time before his
death Mrs. Wade had obtained a di-
vOrce from him. She bases her claim
to the estate, comprising an insurance
policy for $4,000, 5000 II cash, and real
estate at TuCumcari, n NJ, valued at
$1,000. on the ground that It is COM
munity property. Mrs. Armstrong, who
was the IeEatee under the will, was
bequeathed the estate Mrs. Wade says
that she was no relation of the testator.
When they were husband and wife,
Mrs. Wade says that she and her hus-
band agreed to have their lives in
sured for the benefit Of the other. This
agreement, she states, was carried out,
but before Hill died she says that he
changed the insurance policy, leaving
the amount to his estate.

That is the Japanese version Of the
merry Christmas greeting. 1t was
exchanged between K Fujita, the act
ing japanese consul who is here from
Chihuahua, and Y Sunni and H. Tsu-
chija, his assistants, Thursday morn
ing when they celebrated Christmas in
the foreign land.
Fujita says that Christmas is cele-
brated throughout Japan at the same
time that it is in the United States. It
is cold at this season of the year and
the custom of exchanging presents is
observed as generally in Japan as It
is in Ell PasO, the Japanese consul
says.
There is no word for Christmas in
the Japanese language, he says, just
as there is no japanese word for shirt
and stove. For this reason the word
Christmas was incorporated into the
language and the quaint greeting,
'Medetaki Christmas" may be heard
on the streets of Toxic and throughout
the empire, the NippOnese says. Can
dies. nuts and flowers are exchanged
on that day, calls are made and dinners
are served by the Christmas Japanese
on that day. -
The Buddhist japanese have a ceIebra-
ton akin to the American Christmas,
Fujita says. This is Bon, which oc-
ours on July Is. and continues three
days At this time presents are also
given and received, feasts are held and
religious ceremonies held in honor of
Buddha.
