True, loo True.

A great many OF US fall into the very
unjust habit of judging our neighbors
too hastily and oft times too harshly,
and this habit grows upon us until We
unconsclouslY give utterance to our
premature thoughts, often to the
detriment of some deserving person.
The following thought is voiced among
the Random Notes in recent issue
of the Danville Advocate, and is alas.
too true:-
"One of the most glaring and wide
ly-prevalent individual faults of the day
is that of constant and keen analysis
of every action and apparent thought
Of our neighbor. Unconsciously, a
person cultivates this habit, and
frequently before he Is aware of it's
existence he is hampering himself with
ill-founded prejudices against his
fellows, forming false views of life,
and doing some of his best friends, as
we'll as his worst enemies, palpable
injustice. If one wishes to preserve an
evenly balanced mind and keep in
impartial touch with his associates, he
must guard this unfortunate tendency
and discourage its first SYMPTOMS.

If the town. of Lancaster had been
properly cleansed several months since
at the time it was urged upon our tim
i'd trustees this terrible scourge through
which We are passing might have been
avoided. By expense of a few hun
bred dollars in having the town thor
oughly cleaned, much trouble and sick
ness to say nothing of money would
have been saved. The cost of this cpl
demic, and the losses to our business
men, farmers and laborers, can scarce
ly be estimated. The town treasury,
we doubt not, will be, probably 5000
worse off. The loss to our business
men we estimate, will not be less than
$2O,0 and may possibly double or
triple that amount. And what is
worse we still have the filth, and moth
ing, we suppose, can stop disease ex-
cept dlsinfectants, until that filth is re-
moved. The disinfecting, if kept up as
it should will be heavy expense. If
the disinfecting is not kept up. or the
filth not removed, how can we expect
to rid ourselves of disease? We feel
that it is urgent that the town should
be cleaned as early as possible. and, if
necessary, disinfectant might be used
while the cleaning is going on.

Senator BradIey's Funny Stories.

Senator Bradley ranks high in Wash
ington among those who can tell good
anecdote, and tell it well, and in the
telling of string of funny stories for
the edifcation of circle of friends,
his thoughts invariably revert to some
occurrence at his old home in Lancas-
ter. Arthur B. Krock in his Washing
ton letter to the Sunday Courier Jour-
nal, quotes Sen. Bradley's story about
the late T. w. Olds' undertakers sign,
and which is as follows:-
Ibid you ever hear of the sign T.
w. Odds, of Lancaster. set up when he
went into the undertaking business?"
he asked. 'It is said to deserve a
place in Kentucky history along with
Judge Guffey's law sign. Odds had a
big sign painted reading as follows:
1T. w. Odds announces he has bought
a fine new hearse and funeral trappings
and will take great pleasure in burying
his friends"

When Easter Comes,

Thirty days hath September.
Every person can remember,
But to know when Casters come
Puzzles even scholars some.
When March the twenty-first is past.
Just watch the silvery moon,
And when you see it full and round
Know Easter'l be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full,
Then Easter will be here,
The Sunday after
In each and every year.
And if it hap on Sunday.
The moon should reach its height
The Sunday following this event.
Will be the Easter bright.

IMMORTALITY.

cannot see them dead
Those loved ones in the sky;
To leave the paths that mortals tread.
For sapphire pavements overhead.
Sure. this is not to diel
To go with pleasant dreams,
To rest beneath deaths wave.
And wake where flow immortal streams
Where everything in sunlight CLEANS,
Is not to find a gravel.
Such is the vision of immortality as
revealed in the light Jesus brought forth
from the grave. He is the Light of
the world. HE that followeth after
him shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of light.

Bottled In Bond Not Always Bottled
In Bond.

Ever since Uncle Sam began putting
his stamp over the neck of bottles con
tanning bottled in bond" whiskey,
thereby guaranteeing it's age and pur-
ity as well as proof, the cOnnisseur has
sought bottled in bond whiskey as the
best obtainable. However, from recent
observations we have nearly reached
the conclusion that the original contents
OF the bottled in bond receptacle does
not always reach the consumer. We
were told recently that the bottom of
these bottles were often cut out and
the contents removed and there was
substituted in it's stead an inferior
grade of whiskey, probably a blend,
compound or what not, some nauseous
decoction which was calculated to kill
much quicker than the original contents
of the bottle. We concluded to inyes-
tigate, and four out of six bottles which
We gathered at random had the appear
ance of having been tempered with.
There was a well defined circle having
the appearance of having been cut from
the bottom of the bottle and replaced
by means of some kind of cement, the
circle was about one and one half inch
in diameter and necessitated some very
neat work to remove and replace it, if
this had been done. We submitted the
bottles to several gentlemen about
town, who readily agreed that the bot
ties had the appearance of having been
tempered with, and we also preserved
the bottles, empty however, for the in
spection of anyone who would like to
see them. The bottles in question had
originally contained whiskey of two of
the leading and most popular brands in
the state.
We have heard considerable COM
plant of late of the inferior quality of
the average bottled-in-bond whiskey, at
which We were very much surprised,
knowing that this was the liquor most
sought after by those who were particu-
lar as to the brand of pizen" which
they drank, and the falling off in the
quality may perhaps be accounted for
by the fact that the original contents
had been removed and something else
substituted. We are not expert enough
to say positively that this had been
done, but it looks very much to US as if
it had been done. If some one is thus
tampering with the goods guaranteed by
Uncle Sam, it takes place after the
liquor leaves the bottling house of the
distiIlery, where it is bottled under the
direct supervision of U. S. gauger or
storekeeper. There are many opportu-
mites for tampering with it after it
leaves the distillery as it goes through,
in many instances, many hands before
reaching the consumer.
If this is being done, it is foregone
conclusion that some of the sleuths of
the internal Revenue department al
ready have an inkling of it, and before
they know it, those who have been en-
gagged in this nefarious practice will be
in the tolls of the U. S. court.
