The quaint seriousness with which Bill Higgins tod
the story was worth the price Of admission its,t.
He was long and lank and so bashful that the only te-
male ne was able 20 marry was delicate little woman
Co fral that she became an invalid within three years
after they were married He married her because he
was not afraid Of hcr-and he certainly afraid OF all
other women His bashfuncss was prctensc When
Bill Higgins said he hated TO tell his story to crowd he
meant h and like all other soycIlcrs he enjoyed telling
it. Telling that story sort Of dreaded ecstasy the
pangs Of bashfulncs were hardly worth the throes OF
pleasure he got out Of it.
In the first place. Bill Higgins never quite convinced
himself that he belonged in the gatherings where ne
told the story He was a machnist by trade and IN
irving to invent perpetual motion machine ne had dis
covered something that economical power, and ne
began manufacturing the ywheel, bearing, or what
ever it was and began 20 make moncy,-not much but
enough-and so he got into the Chamber Of Commerce
He told his story first at a campfire of the veterans Of his
regiment and after that he simply had to tell 1t every

veStment.

The brick building recently erect
ed by Councilman Hiram Smith on
Virginia street near Sixth, is now
fully occupied above and below. The
storerooms are handsomely finished
and one is occupied as a drug store.
The new building is really an addi-
ton to the building owned by the
same colored capitalist on the corner
and the block as a whole is a hand
some addition to the Improvements of
the city.
Hopkinsville has number of pros
porous and enterprising colored cit
liens who invest their money in
houses and buildings and take a
pride in the development of the city.
The councilman from the Fifth ward
belongs to this class.

ENDS LIFE
WITH SHOTGUN
Warrington Farmer Commits
Suicide by Shooting Through
His Stomach.

Charles Sneed, a we'll known farm
er of near Warrington, committed
suicide Monday morning. He used a
shotgun. Hr Sneed was fifty years
old and was well to-do farmer. The
Hustler gives the following account
of the affair:
'Mr. Sneed in the absence of his
wife and children, went to the stable
lot, where he fastened the shotgun
to a fence. He tied a string to the
trigger and placing himself in front
of the gun, pulled the trigger, in
fiicting a ghastly wound, which re-
suited in almost instant death. Men,
bers of the family heard the shot and
rushed to the dying man.
Mr.. Sneed left no note explaining
his reason for the deed. but bad
health and grief over the death of
one of his sons, which occurred few
months ago. are believed to have
been the cause of his determining to
end his life.
He is survived by a wife end sew
eral children"

Russian Report Says Attempt Of Germans to Turn Right
Wing Of Cars Army Was Successfully Evaded.

London, Sept. l5.-The battle of
the Marine has about come to an end /,
and although the allied armies are
keeping in touch with the retreating
Germans, it is evident the latter are
taking up positions to stay the north
ward advance of the British and
French.
The French official statement makes
brief mention Of the fact that the
allied armies are in close touch with
the Germans north Of the River
Aisne and in the neighborhood of
Rheims. In this territory Gen. Won
Kuck's army is apparently making
ready for a stand, while the other
German armies under Won Buelow,
Won Hansen, the Crown Prince and
the Duke of Wuertemburg are fall
ing back. and in doing so are en-
deavoring to maintain an undivided
front.
The French War Department also
denies that the Crown Prince has
ever bombarded Verdun. and adds
that only Fort Troyon, which does
not belong to Verdun's defenses, has
been attacked, although lately it was
relieved.
The British official press bureau
gives out a statement on authority
of Sir Edward Grey, Secretary fol
Foreign affairs. as a reply to a COM
munication issued to the press by the
Imperial German Chancellor. The
statement is based on the German
Chancellor question as to whether
England would have interfered to
