HUMOROUS INCIDENTS
FOUND IN WAR TIME

The press dispatches appearing
in the papers last week about the
death of Lord Roberts, recalled
TO the editor of The Times an
amusing incident whihc occurred
during the Boer War in South
Africa, when he was serving un-
der Lord Roberts command. The
story appeared in print at that
time, and has since then been re-
hashed by various newspapers
and appeared under different dis
guises, but this is the original, and
can be vouched for by at least
three other Kentuckians, who
were in the same brigade.
Lord Roberts, or "Bobs, as he
was referred to by every "Tom-
my" in the British service, was a
martinez, who would take no back
talk from any one, and who want
ed his orders obeyed at once when
they were given, without any
questions or any comments. While
stationed at Pietermartizburg, in
Natal, for a short time, some of
his brother officers thought to
have a little fun at "Bob's" ex-
pense, and one of them was de-
tailed to tell him that his favorite
horse, Major, was dead. The in
tention was merely to see the eff
feet of this information on him
and then to inform him of the
truth, but the game was, in a way,
spoiled, when a dispatch rider
came up at that moment with i'm
portant information concerning
the enemy, and the matter was
by all except the chief. |
afterwards he came out
Of his tent, and calling his groom,
an Irishman, ordered him to go
and take his hide off "Major,"
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1914-11-26

and bring it to him. The groom
started to inform the commander
in-chief that the horse was picket
ed out with the others, but was
interrupted by "Bobs," who curt
ly ordered him to do as he was
told. This was about s o'clock in
the morning, and it was noon
when the groom reported back
with the hide, whereupon "Bobs"
demanded to know the cause of
the delay. The groom then po-
litely told him that "Major" had
broken his picket rope, and it re-
quired two hours hard work to
catch him.
OF course, explanations were de-
handed by the commander-in-
chief, but they were rather lame,
and BObs' got back at the
guilty ones in an unexpected way,
as it happened that about a week
after this occurrence, a wagon
load of supplies, which was being
forwarded for the officers of this
division, was lost between Dur
ban and Pietermaritzburg, and
for a month the officers had to
make shift with the same rations
as were served out to the "Tom-
mics" The quartermaster in
charge of the transport after
wards declared that he got special
orders from the commander-in-
chief to "sidetrack that wagon,
and as a result the officers were
compelled to without their wine,
and other little delicacies which
they had been accustomed to hav-
ing.

were closed by order of the county
live stock inspector, and no stock
was offered for sale. There was
only a small crowd in town, and
most of them were from this sec
ton of the country. Some way
or another, Powell county people
seem to gravitate toward Win
chester for Court day, and this
only goes to show the necessity
of having a regular sale day here
once a month, when Powell county
people could meet to buy and sell
stock without having to travel
away from home.
Over at Irvine steps are being
taken to establish a regular court
day sale, and the Clay City Com
mercial Club is also working on
those lines. AS soon as the cattle
trade is settled down from the
scare from the foot and mouth dis
ease, active preparations will be
made to have a sale day establish
ed here.

pray, can one notice any new leadership" In this
political movement What new leadership"
would tolerate q Watson?
At the risk of having some of our readers
laugh themselves to death we also announce
somewhat reluctantly, that Watson Is also being
regarded a presidential possibility by certain
leaders of this party which has been reported
"purged" Of conditions which caused the great
est political revolt in the history Of the nation.
The Rushville Republican, one OF the most in
fluential organs of the Republican party in the
state, recently gravely announced:

years now picture of James E. Watson, with
the inscription, Our Next President, 1916 Let
us all hope that our prophet was not forecasting
amiss when we hung that picture on the wall 1t
is little early to be guessing presidential tim
Der, but several booms have already been set out
on the political seas and it might not be guessing
very far wide Of the mark to say that the boom
of our fellow citizen would be blooming forth ere
long But listen to what the Kingston (Mo)
Mercury has to say:
The phenomenal success of any eastern
man does not spell favor with the west as to the
Republican nomination for the presidency in
1916. Logically, Ohio or Indiana must furnish
the nominee most favored of all, and just now nc
ana, looms upon the political horizon. He has the
capacity and the magnitude. He has the expert
ence. He has had to do with the most important
issues and legislation in this country, and is {
statesman of training-solid, safe and knows
whereof he speaks. It is more than probable thai
Jim Watson is Missouri's first choice, as he will
be in many midwest and western states''

New leadership"

1T seems undeniable," says the Indianapolis

in Indiana depends very much upon the outcome
of a conflict already staged between the old
