Burning Charge Against Him.

Excnange.
An Irish soldier on sentry duty had
orders to allow no one to smoke near
his post. An officer with lighted
cigar approached, whereupon Pat
boldly challenged him and ordered
him to put it out a. once. The officer,
with a gesture of disgust, threw away
his cigar; but no sooner was his
back turned than Pat picked it up
and quietly retired to the sentry box.
The officer, happening to look round,
observed a beautiful cloud of smoke
issuing from the box. He at once chal-
lenged Pat for smoking on duty.

mad under his charge the trains
which travel from this city to the
capital Of the Sta e. Day after d&y

Conductors younger than Ae "layed

always on hand.
l7or 80 years, and We believe this
is the longest con inuous service as
a conductor which the Southern rail-
way books show, did this faithful
man serve his employers. About two
years ago he was retired. High CT
ficials of the road wrote him let ers

always proud.
But Captain Billy will not call the
stations any more He will never
again admonish US as to the places
10 aight and as to cur personal ef-
fects. Having reached the ripe age
OF 75, this man, who had done his
work so well, reached the end Of tie
road. He has arrived at the City Of
Rest, and will not make the return

We all honor him, as we honor
any man who does his work we'll,
However lowly his position may be
the maa who does his best is the
great man. Captain Billys position
was not lowly. His position was re-
sponsible. Thousands of lives have
been in his care, and always ne
cared for them. The community is
saddened at his dea,h, but is proud
to think of this unsophisticated man
who did his work as it came to hand
and who did it so we'll.

LAWYERS SOME vULTUREs,

During the year 1913 nearly 10000 damage suits
were filed in Louisville courts, according to the
records in the Circuit Clerk Office, and the amount
of damages asked in these suits was in excess Of
$12,000,00O. This is interesting as showing the
propensity of humanity to go to law slight pro-
vocation, or on great provocation, the case may
be- Nearly 10000 suits, and also many that are
utterly without merit. 1t would be still more in
teresting to know the amount that will be rcaliz-

that the successful bidder was man who had OBJ

killed about three years ago Possession of the
property will be given on January l, and presum-

expected to be present and join in the bidding,
but he was detained by illness and the only other
bidder was a representative of Louisville cOrpor-
