RUFUS K, ARNOLD
BURIED SATURDAY
Leading Sharp County Man,
Victim Of Bandits, Laid
To Rest Here.

Rufus King Arnold, born October
10, 1916, was shot and killed by an
unknown bandit at Center on last
Thursday evening, November H.
at about 7 o'clock. Burial occurred
last Saturday afternoon at the
Sharp cemetery, just south of this
place, in the presence OF the grief
stricken family and q large number
of sorrowing friends Funeral SER
vices were conducted at the grave
by Owen c. Shaver.
Mr.. Arnold was born on p an
tation between Nebo and Pr0vl-
dence, Hopkins county, Kentucky,
of sturdy Scotch-lrish parentage'
He was apt at his studies and had
completed the entire literary course
at the best schools of his section at
the age of 18 years. Although a
youth, he joined the Confederate
army and was under Gen. Morgan
| in the fercest battles of Northern
Kentucky
Returning home after the war,
he took up the study of law and
was admitted to the bar at Maids
onville, KY, in 1867. He was sue
cessful in the practice of his pro-
fession, and in 1869 was honored
with the office of Commonwealth
Attorney for his native county,
In 1871 Mr.. Arnold was married
to Miss Annie Noel, daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. W. c. Noel, and to
this union three children were born,
two of whom are yet living; W, N.
Arnold of Evening Shade and Mrs
Amy Seller of Galena, Kan.
In 1879 Mr.. Arnold moved with
his family to Evening Shade, where
he formed law partnership with
William M. Davidson. His wife
died here in 1883 and was buried
at the Sharp cemetery. In 1887
he was married to Mrs. Eliza Nc
Kinney, who survives him. Eight
children by this union also survive
him. Price, Annie, Lydia, John,
Susie, Allie, Aguanaldo and Etiie.
In later years Mr.. Arnold had
devoted himself to farming and to
surveying, his home being near
King Mills. He had served the
county as surveyor, and was con-
sidered an expert in that work, He
had in preparation a complete set
of field notes for this county for the
use of surveyors, which would un-
doubtedly have been purchased by
the county as a public necessity
but for the untimely death of the
author.
The death of Mr. Arnold was
most tragic, AS a lawabiding cit
Iizen in the pursuit of criminals, he
was murdered in cold blood in the
performance of a public duty and
while engaged in the protection OF
society and the public peace. His
| friends knew him to be as brave as
a lion, and that such a man should
meet death in such manner as he
laid down his life brought the deep
est sort of sorrow to all who knew
him.
The people of Sharp county had
an affection for X. X, Arnold, He
was well known in all sections of
the county and his friends were le-
zion. He was frank, open.hearted
and universally kind. He was con.
siderate ia his dealings with his
fellows, and his life was open and
honorable, His neighborS and
friends will miss him sadly Peace
to his ashes,

BEST BOOKS TO READ IN BED
Serious Literature should Be Selected
Novels Too Apt to Leave the
Brain Excited.

Why is It that the habit OF reading
in bed it so often condemnedg Surely
ii is only taking ones recreation in
the pleasantest possible way, and that
is what we all strive after il we do not
always attain it.
Taken in the right way 1t is an ex'
ceIIent cure for insomnia, but taken
in the wrong way it forms an insidl.
GUS root for that disease.
The fundamental point is to choose
ones bed books with as much care as
one would expend In selecting a house
Nobody should read novel in bee
il they wish to pass sound, undls-
turbed night. The Incidents Of the
story force themselves into our mind
until we become an actor in the tale
itself, and eventually wake with 9
brain that has had no rest.
Then, again, a good novel (or fol
that matter bad one) tempts US tC
90 on reading until we have reached
the end and know the best (or the
worst).
Then the noxious influence begin
to work, for no person, even the mos
clear-headed, can read a novel Of th'
usual length at one sitting, and fee
better in mind for doing SO. Modera
ton extends to reading as to every
thing else, and those who like t
take their literature in gulps are rare
ly able to appreciate its finer quail
ties.
My own opinion is that the best be-
books are those which are usual,
classed as serious works" " Under thi
heading come essays, "reminiscences
descriptive works and philosophy

CHANGED THE COLOR SCHEME
Bride Proved Her Resoureefulness on
the Occasion of First Formal
Dinner Party.

She was only bride, and this was
her first dinner party. Her husband,
a fire prevention engineer and gradu
ate of Boston Tech, was to bring
home some OF his classmates, in whose
honor the little wife had planned a
'red dinner" The candelabra shades
were to be red. She would serve a
tomato soup as the first course, to be
followed by red meat and baked pota'
toes sprinkled with paprika. The salad
dressing and the dessert would like
wise harmonize with the color scheme
When the guests arrived, however,
they found everying in yellow. SAT
from candle shades cast a golden glow
over the table. A clam bouillon was
served as the first course, then leg
of lamb, potatoes Newburgh, an as
paragus salad and lemon ice cream
Il thought we were going to have
a red dinner, dearie," said the nus
band when the guests had left.
1T was this way" the bride ex
planned. after I'D got everything all
ready / discovered that / had only
two red shades. ] had half a dozen
yellow ones, and so I changed the
color scheme to match the shades.

First, the spirit Of the eighteenth
century is not found in its letters.
Not modern Of the moderns, not 9
progressive Of the progressives, would
wish anything more appropriate to
the twentieth century than the spirit
of 1776. But he could not work out
his twentieth century problems By a
list Of grievances against King George
III nor by the literal limitations Of
what the eighteenth century revolu'
tionists had to deal with.
Second, the spirit Of the eighteenth
century was several spirits. 1t was
the spirit Of Jefferson and Franklin
and it was the spirit Of Hamilton. Il
was the spirit of the radical Deciara
tion of Independence, and it was the
spirit Of the reactionary constitution

Helping Children With Their Lessons
It is sometimes a question whether
or Aot a child should be assisted in
the preparation of his lessons for the
next day Good pedagogy declares
that the child develops most quickly
who is stimulated by a problem that
challenges his ability, one that is mot
too easy, one that is not too hard
If it is the former, he is not inter
ested; whereas, if it is the latter, he
is discouraged. It may be taken, as
a general rule, that 1t is better not
to help q child until he has gotten
discouraged and then rather to help
him to help himself, to guide him
and let him go the rest Of the way
himself.
A backward child, Of course, needs
more assistance than a bright child
but with him more care Is required In
developing self-reliance; his tendency
is to become more dependent and his
need Of initiative is greater.

The Wearing of Glasses by Young People

the tissues have a chance to become
hard and firm, hence, it is during the
period of growth that damage to the
eyes is most apt to occur. If the
stretching of the eyeball goes beyond
a certain point. the delicate nerve it's
sues inside the eye are apt to become
stretched to an extent which they can
not stand, and tears and breaks occur
in them with damage to the sight.
These breaks cannot be remedied, nor
for that matter can the eye when it is
once stretched come back to its nor
NAL size. In very high degrees of
stretching, even blindness may result.
There is a current belief that near
sightedness runs in families, and this.
while partly true, is really an unfor-
funate misconception. Certain fami-
lies have softer tissues in the eye than
others, and their eyes stretch more
easily TO certain degree of strain. This
should only make such people more
cautious TO avoid strain and does not
by any means imply that il is neces-
sary for such children to be nearsight-
ed. The cause of this strain in the
young child is astigmatism. There are
other contributing causes, such as d too
short eyeball, poor general health.
which makes the tissues weaker and
less restraint. and also the disposition
of the child, some children preferring
to sit and read all day rather than to
go out and exercise in the open air.
All these questions must receive
proper attention if near-sightedness is
TO be prevented. but that astigmatism

Joe Connolly. the smuggling member
of the Braves outfield is the only play
er in the Boston bunch to enter the
series with a 300 batting average to
back him up. Connolly's work at the
bat has been a source of great pleas
ure to Stallings all season and many
are wondering whether the Boston boy
will be another Frank Baker.
There is never a worlds series with
out the appearance of a new baseball
star In every series so far some
comparatively unknown youngster has
come forth with a brilliant line of
playing that has made him a hero over
night. VIII Connolly's bat win him
fame in the struggle with the Mack
men?
Connolly's batting record is crowd
ed with extra base hits. He has made
IL of them this season: "a doubles, 10
triples and seven homers, a sum total
of 60 extra bases. If he is able to de-
liver a number of these in the big
games his reputation will soon be
widespread.
Connolly is every bit as good field
er as he is batter His work in the
Boston outfield has been little short
CT sensational and he has maintained
the brilliant clip set by his two out
field mates. With Mann and Gathers
and Deal as utility, the Boston out
field have won and deserve the rep of
being the best defense outfield in the
National league. And they will not
fall far short in a comparison with the
outfield of the Athletics.
