REARINGCHILDREN
Adventures of a Crouch

s \ ERWILLIGER has four of the
finest children 1 eve saw, -
observed the druggist, "and
be says he never whipped one of them
IN his life. They are so ObedIant ard
well hammered it's a pleasure to see
them, and 1 told Terwilliger he ought to
take them on the lecture platform and
explain his system for the benefit of
parents who use the club too enthusiast
tically."
"But you can't prove anything by
quoting one instance like that" argued
the village patriarch. & am strongly
opposed to whipping if it can be avoided,
Tor l have painful memories of nv own
childhood. Ny father was a gentleman
of the old school, firmly convinced that
a child would go to the bow vows IN
less presented with a whaling about
every so often. He had a rawhide riding
whip that had been handed down by
some old fOX-hunting ancestor. NV
father never hunted foxes and so had
no occasion to use the riding whip in the
Held. He kept it In the WoOdshed for
ready reference when any of his off
springs were accused of malfeasance.
Give often wondered why the wood
shed was the favoTite place for punish
ment in those grand old days. I've
never found an answer to the cOnun-
drum, but it Is a fact that the wOodshed
was the recognized torture chamber
When L was suspected of wrongdOing the
grand lnquisItiOn was held IN the house.
Father sifted all the evidence carefully,
and if he found me guilty the gloomy
pageant to the woodshed was organized.
He might Just as well have handed me
the package in the kitchen or on the
front porch, but such an idea never Oc-
CURED to my venerable sire. He took
me by the scTuff of the neck and pushed
me along in front of him to the cham
Der of horrors, and then he took the an
cestral riding whip, and for the next
lew hours life was strangely devoid of
charms.
Il know that all his whippings never
did any good. In fact, it did harm, for
l was of a rebelious temper, and when
L was whipped for committing a crime
my first impulse was to repeat the Of
fence, and do it in such way that I
wouldn't be found out. And whenever
he hailed me to the bar of justice, and
began asking disagreeable questions, I
gave him fish stories IN return. I was
naturally truthful, but his searching in
vestlgations got me into the habit of
y
fashion that was astonishing in one so
young. And habits thus acquired in
childhood are hard to get rid Of. Even
in my cd age I find it much easier to
than to stick to the truth.
The latter requires severe exertion,
while the former is as easy as falling
off a creased log.
yet don't consider my own expert
ence an argument against corporal pun
lshmeut. 1 did when I was getting the
punishment, and I think it was a mis-
take IN my own case; but / recognize
The fact that there are all kinds of chill
lren in the world, and the system that
will work with one won't work with
another I never see a forward, impu-
lent Young one without wishing I had

other evening. He has so many children
that a man would need an adding ma
chine to count them. He and Ais wife
both believe in the lenient policy, and
brag that they never whipped one of
the BARNS. Any stranger would be will
ing to believe that statement after be-
ing in the house five minutes. It re-
minded me of a panic in geological
garden. There never was such an up
roar since the mix-up at the tower Of
Babel. All the time the father was try
ing to talk with me the children were
climbing over him, pretending they were
indians, intent upon securing his scalp,
and he begged them to be good, with
tears in his eyes, and they Just yelled
the louder. If Terwilliger takes the
lecture platform to expound his theories,
Heppelspringer should do the same, to
prove that he is off his base.

checkers where he left off last night"

The Old Reliable.

Governor McCreary is one of the
old time Democrats who never sulk
or show any bitterness. He makes
the best fight possible and if he is
beaten, he Immediately gets in line
for the nominee and does his best to
secure his election. In this contest
the Governor is enthusiastic for all
the nominees and there are many re-
quests of the Speakers Bureau from
various parts of the State to have
the Governor address the voters.
His opening speech at Somerset has
evoked mapy compliments and the
State Press has commended the Gov
ernor for his devotion to Democratic
principles. Governor McCreary has
a tremendous personal following
which never fails to support him no
matter what Office he may seek.
They will follow his lead in Novem-
Der and every man of them will put
his stamp under the Democratic
emblem.

AFTER LONG
SUFFERING
Henry c. Richards Passes Away
at His Home on South
Main st.
FELL ASLEEP WEDNESDAY,
Was A Prominent Merchant
and Travelling Salesman
For Many Years.

Mr.. Henry C. Richards died about
nine O'Clock Wednesday night, at
his home on South Main street.
He had long been a sufferer from
a terrible malady, but bravely kept
up until about a week ago when he
contracted cold and took to his bed
never to rise again. He had been
critically ill for several days and his
sufferings ended as above stated.
nr. Richards was born in Stewart
county, Tenn, March Z, 1913, and
was in the 9th year of his age.
He is survived by his widow and
four children, Haywood c. Richards,
of Memphis; Mrs. Thomas. p. At
kins, of Duvall, ARK, and Misses
EuIa and Dorothy Richards.
Mr.. Richards began his business
career at Roaring Spring, where he
conducted store for a number of
years. He came to Hopkinsville
more than 80 years ago and engaged
in merchandising as a salesman for
Glass & Ware and later was in bust
ness for himself. For several years
past, up to about year ago, he was
travelling salesman for dry goods
house.
Mr.. Richards was a member of
the Methodist church and was a de-
vout christian and a popular gentle
man. with host of friends.
The fureral services were held at
2;3O Thursday afternoon, by DR..
Louis Powell, and the interment was
in Riverside cemetery.

stubborn kind of resistance.
The rigidness of the censorship,
however, precludes more than guess
es as to which side scored in the fight
ing which followed the retirement of
the Belgians and the advance of the
Germans in the vicinity of Client. In
the rear of that city it is said the
Germans have 100000 men, and all
signs indicate that violent battle
for possession of Ostend and other
channel ports is imminent or in act
ual progress.
What became of the Belgian army
which retreated from Antwerp the
public does not know. Nor is the
composition of the allied forces seek
ing to check the German seward
advance clear.
As was the case before the fall Of
Antwerp, the British press, in a
measure, discounts the German oc.

three hundred miles, have reached
their height, but the public is allow
ed only an occasional glance of their
progress through official communica-
ton. which frequently are widely at
variance.
From the French report it appears
that the western battle is going slow
ly but surely in favor of the allies.
Under the pressure of the troops of
the allies, the Germans, who started
to advance on Calais and other French
coast ports, have been forced to evac-
uate the left bank of the Lys river,
which is considerable distance east
of the points their advance guards
reached last week. Further east in
the Lens district and southwark be
tween Arras and Albert, where the
Germans made their first attempt to
work around the allies left, the
English. and French have made mot
able progress"

DANIELS IN KENTUCKY.

Elizabethtown, KY, Oct. 16-Ar--
irving here from Tennessee, Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy
Thursday addressed an enthusiastic
gathering of Hardin county demo-
Gratis, many of whom travelled great
distances through inclement weather..
rather than miss the distinguished
democrats speech. Like Secretary
of State Bryan, who spoke in a num-
Der of Kentucky cities, Secretary
Daniels devoted his whole speech to-
the achievements of the Wilson adj
ministration, which he asked every
loyal member of the party to indorse.
The enthusiasm that marked the
speaking was fine and indicative Of
how Hardin county will vote in Nov
ember. A number of party leaders,
including Col. Harry A. Sommers;
spoke in the afternoon following
Secretary Daniels. All of them pre-
dicted that democracy would sweep
the state triumphantly at the cleo
ton.

Panama. Oct. 16.-A serious land
slide on the east side of the Panama
canal north of Gold Hill occurred
Wednesday night. Traffic has been
of necessity stopped. and c J. Goeth-
ais could not ssy when the canal
again would be uavigable. 1t is
hoped that few days will prove
sufficient time in which to reopen
the waterway. A preliminary sur
vey showed the slide extended for a
distance of about $500 feet north of
Gold Hill and started on line about
100 feet from the edge Of the canal.
II is not possible as yet to estimate
the amount of rock and dirt that en-
tered the channel. but it is declared
it must have been many thousand Gu.
