"a mighty slick young fellow was

ga steady-going plodder," was the
way Ned Travers was designated.
Both were in love with Constance |
Farrar, beauty and belle. Naturally
Joel attracted her with his brilliant,
dashing ways. When Constance Sc
riously reflected, however, her
thoughts mostly favored Ned.
Both young men had a future to
make, and both started in with the
big wholesale house of Brown & Co.
on an equal footing and with even
chances.
Joel was in the buying, and Ned in
the selling department. The house
had a large clientele. With Ned the
effort was to buy as cheaply as posi-
BILE, with Joel to sell at the best profit
he could get The latter had the in
stincts of natural trader and forged
ahead rapidly. He began to sport
loud clothes, diamonds, and assumed
an Independent, staggering man
ner that did not win friends among
his associates.
One day Ned had an insight into
the character of Joel that affected
him gravely. Joel invited him to visit
his club. 1t was all new to Ned, who
noticed that Joel made himself con-
spicuous. Some men were playing
cards at a table, when Joel sauntered
towards them.

mine developed sort of occult power.

Killing at Hazard

Jas. c. Combs who killed the
town Marshal of Hazard last
Wednesday night week, was
taken to Lexington for safe
keeping on his own request.
Combs killed Jay Draughn in the
little city of Hazard and this was
the first killing of a white man
which had occurred in that feud
ridden district since the killing of
Judge Josiah Combs seventeen
years ago.
Town Marshal Draughn has a
large relationship of the notorious
Draughn family, and the Combs
relationship is very strong, and
it is feared that trouble between
the factions will break out in
that county.

Ere The Old Years Portals
Be Closed

Standing alone on the threshold,
Ere the Old Years portals be closed ?
| fain would glance back thro' its cham
bers
And some of its treasures unfold;
Again, would call phantom faces
From out of the gloom of the past,
Again would live hours of gladness
Hours that were too bright to last.
Again would linger with dear ones
Who passed from my life and for aye
Almost in the dawn, angels called them
And beckoned them farther away;
But tonight it seems from the shadows
They're smiling again as of yore,
And stretching forth hands as in parting
Ere turn my face forward once more
And tho from the joys and the sorrow.
OF the Old Year I'm turning away,
smile thro' my tears as journey
To the land of an Eternal Day;
For beyond we shall meet them and
know them,
These dear ones who've only gone home
And then face to face With the Master
We shall be no more alone.
But borne on the stiffness of midnight
l hear the strokes sounding the kneIl,
Of the Old Year that's passing forever,
And never word of farewell;
So drawing my garments around me
turn once again to the light,
With sigh, close the door behind me,
Dear Old Year sweet memories good
night. L.

A Tie United

The race for the Sheriffs office
in Estill county resulted in a tie
between William Broaddus, Dem
ocrat, and George Powell, Re
publican. The board of election
commissioners were ordered by
the Estill Circuit Court to cast
lots as to which one should be
declared the Sheriff, and in pur
suance to that order the election
commissioners met last week
and cast lots which resulted in
favor Of Powell, the Republican.
Broaddus will probably confess
the election.

TEMPLARS
Banquet At Their Asylum
and Listen to Grand
Address.

Inc knl9ntS Iempldr met In
their asylum on Christmas day,
according to their usual custom,
the Sir knights attending. in full
uniform. Sir Knight Dawson
was master of ceremonies. The
choir consisted of the best sing
ers of the city with Mrs. M. c..
Kellogg presiding at the organ;
Miss Laura Bright, Miss Jamie
Caperton and Miss Mary Tray
nor sang solos. Mr.. R. R. Bur
nam delivered the address of
welcome.
One of the features of the day
was the most excellent address
delivered by the Rev. B. {. Hor-
ton, of the Methodist church,
which is published in full in this
issue.
A toast to the Grand Master,
Arthur Macarthur was read by
the Secretary, and we give the
same as follows: "a quarter of
a million Knights of the Temple,
in this and other lands, awaiting
your first Christmas greeting,
again avow their allegiance to
/ you and those in authority, and
| pledge their devotion to the Great
Redeemer and His cause on
earth"
! To which the Grand Master
sends the following response:
ITO all Knights Templar:
There can come to no man,
occupying whatever position he
may, greeting that is SO full of
the spirit of Christian Knight
hood as the sentiment which
comes to me as your Most Emf
nent Grand Master from the Sir
Knights of this Grand Jurisdic-
ton at this Christmas time.
IN this, approaching season
when Christian teachings should
prevail, and when Knightly greet
ings and Knightly sympathy
should be manifested on every
side, the voice, as of one from
this mighty host, comes like
music to sooth the cares of day,
to inspire to nobler action and to
make one feel that life's burden
is easier to bear and life's road.
way easier to tread. In these
days of materialism, when the
hand of acquisition is busy, when
the more beautiful sentiments OF
life are sometimes pushed rudely
aside, when Justice with leaden
heels and velvet hands harasses
and grieves, it is then, and then
in its full force that the powers
md privileges of Christian
! Knighthood should show forth
| in all their beauty, in all then
possibilities and in all their abil
tiles to make life happier and
mankind better.
"NoW when Joy and Peace
should be prevalent, there comes
to us a more serious thought
that in the regeneration of the
world that in its re-birth-there
should ever be present in oul
daily walk in life, the teachings
that made the Man of Nazarett
that one great appealing power
whose influence ages have not
dimmed, and whose strength fol
good ever grows stronger.
1T is my sincere desire, anc
my sincere wish that whatever

NEW FRENCH LAW HITTING
INCOMES OF AMERICANS

Paris, July This week is likely
never to be forgotten by Americans
or foreigners resident in France, for
it marked the beginning of the opera
ton of the law taxing foreign invest
ments.
Americans are the hardest hit mas
much as more wealth is represented
by them than by any two other cour-
tries. The consequence is that al
most frantic appeals are being made
to the chamber of commerce, the con-
sulate and embassy that something be
done quickly to persuade the French
government to amend the act.
Strange as it may seem the law was
never intended to strike anybody but
the French who have been investing
abroad and not paying an income tax
on the same investments at home.
But the provision is sweeping. 1t re-
quires that per cent be paid on all
foreign investments by "all persons
domiciled in France"
From men like James Stfllman,
James Hazen Hyde, Alfred S. Heidel-
bach, Herman Harjes and all who are
construed to be domiciled here, In
GLIDING w. X. Vanderbilt. Frank
Gould, Clarence Mackay, William e.
corey, and many other millionaires
with huge racing stables or chateux,
If their property here be also con-
strued to constitute a domicile the
law will demand 20f1r part of their
annual American income from all
