Condensed Wisdom.

When respect departs love
packs its grip and hikes.
Why owe any one a grudge
when you can pay as we go?
The silent watches of the night
those we forget to wind.
Love may not be a disease, but
it frequently shows a rash ma
ture.
Unless a man possesses self
control he is little better than a
slave.
Most of the golden opportuni-
ties offered you will not stand
the acid test.
It's hard to convince a man
that he ought to work when he
doesn't have to.
Many a man would gladly take
the bull by the horns-if the bull
would stand for it.
We may discover fault in a
friend in ten seconds that we
probably couldn't discover in
ourselves in ten years.

Take Plenty of Time TO Eat.

There is saying that rapid eatiug
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from Indigestion
Or constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness unless cor
rected. Digestion begins in the mouth
Food should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you have
a fullnesS of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets. Many severe
eases of stomach trouble and constipa-
zion have been cured by the use of
these tablets. They are easy to take
and most agreeable in effect. Sold by

Wonderful Chimes.

Bells that are in the tower of
the city hall at Springfield, Mass,
are said to be the finest chimes
in America. Their distinction
lies in the fact that, instead of
being hung in a tower erected
on another building they are
suspended in sets of two from
each of the eight window OPEN
ings of a regular ''Campanile"-
the only one in this country.
One would have to visit AM
sterdam, Holland, for an exam
pie of chimes similarly placed in
a municipal building. Even:then
those in the Dutch city hall fail
tc lend themselves gracefully to
this method of grouping, for its
tower is erected upon the build
ing, and does not stand alone as
does this beautiful "Campanile"
in the New Englandi:city.
The Ginning device consists in
part of a hardwood case, or key
board, measuring about five feet
square, and containing 16..han-
dies, the latter being marked
with the letters of the musical
notes of the 16 bells in the chimes
This case is placed in the room
below the belfry, each handle
being connected with the clapper
of its corresponding bell by
means of rods and chains. So
carefully are these adjustments
made that slight downward pulls
on the handles sound the full
notes.

Becker Again Guilty.

Ex-Police Lieut.. Becker, has
a g ain been found guilty of
instigating the murder of the
gambler Rosenthal. The testi-
mony against him in this second
trial differed not materially from
that presented at the first trial,
while the new evidence on which
he gained a second trial was
either weak or was wholly ex-
cluded by the court. Review of
the evidence would seem to in
dictate that the jury had to de-
termine which witnesses lied the
least, those of the prosecution or
of the defense.
Though pronounced guilty a
second time Becker will not be
Immediately executed, if he is
executed at all. The motions
made by his counsel will act as a
stay, and one recourse after an
other will be resorted to, which
will require a year or more for
decision. Gaining a new trial
Becker has gained a new lease
of life, its duration depending
upon the ability of his counsel.
Still, if he is guilty, and the jury
thought he was and so said,
Becker will ultimately reach the
electric chair, for the people of
New York are insistent on pun
ishment.- The Grit.

Odd Superstitions.

Old fashioned folks in this
country have many curious SUI
perstitions, but it takes the peo-
pie of the Old World to find the
queerest things to be supersti-
tious about. In rural Germany
one still meets with a supersti-
ton that he who eats during a
thunderstorm will be struck by
tightening. Abstaining fro m
food during an eclipse is common
among savages; also a belief that
IN eating the flesh of any animal
one absorbs that animals charac-
teristics. Thus an Indian tribe
highly prizes tigers flesh as food
for men, but forbids women to
eat it lest it make them too ag-
gressive. In the Congo, women
are forbidden to eat birds OF
prey on the same principle, but
are encouraged to eat frogs
which the men on no account
ever touch. In the Caroline Is
lands, blacAbirds are a favorit,
dish with women; but men mus
not eat them, because if one did
and afterwards climed coco'
tree, he would surely fall to tn
ground and be killed.

For four years the Baptist of
West Kentucky, and other Sec
ton of the state have met to-
gether at Dawson Springs to lis
ten to ''the great Baptist leaders
of the South" This meeting has
grown in interest till last year it
reached the high water mark
and over five hundred people as
sembled to hear these great men.
The date of the meeting this
year is June % to the 3rd of July,
and it is hoped that at least one
thousand people will avail them
selves of the opportunity to at
tend. Every effort has been put
forth to make this meeting not
only the equal of last year; but,
if possible, to surpass it. With
such as Mrs. Kate Hinkle, Miss
Leachman and Miss Brenckman
to represent W. M U. work, Rev.
Harvey Beauchamp. N. T. Barnes
ard Miss Brenckman for S. S.

work, as well as our own Drs.
Powell and Perkins of KY, and
DR.. C. B. Williams, Mr.. H. z.
Duke and DR.. J. B. Gambrell, of
Texas, who will represent other
Baptist interests, we have no
sense of failure in reaching this
high standard.
In addition to the above at
traction, we have secured Mr..
and Mrs. Scholfeld. the Gospel
Singers, so we'll known in the
South, to lead the music.
At this time rates will be OBJ:
tanned at the hotels and also on
the Rail Roads, making the op-
portunity splendid one to en-
joy the healing waters of Daw-
son Springs and the many ad-
vantages of the Assembly. Ger
tainly every Baptist Pastor and
Superintendent in West Ken
lucky should attend and bring
large delegations of their people.
Every phase of UNCONVENTIONAL
work will be discussed.
From this Assembly we are
sure that great good will come
to all organizations represented.

and make your plans according
ly. The following hotels have
