thrill of the occasion. 1t was such a
tiny town that the governor had never
once been there before.
Katie and Jane were not quite happy
however.

marked.
cts too bad" murmured Jane.
"She likes being with Daddy" Doris
fastened to remark. Look, there they
are!"
The sisters turned and gave a little
cry.
But where's Lottie?"
She was nowhere to be seen. How
ever, nothing could be done about 1t
now. The people were pouring in from
every door.
They had to wait a tiresome time.
The rougher element upstairs began to
stamp and whistle. And then they
stopped, everybody stopped, for the
gentlemen and ladies who belonged on
the great platform, bright with Grim
son carpets and beautiful with palms
began to take their places.
Now we'll see Winifred Greene"
whispered Doris. Look, she has pink
ribbons in her hair, and"
She never finished. The three sisters
stared with all their eyes. For Winifred
was not alone. Beside her. also with a
bouquet In her hand-Lottie! She did
not look their way, being. quite taken
up with watching .Winifred, who was
whispering to her how to hand her
bouquet to the governors lady!
The singing and the speaking be-
gan, one after the other. When the
school children stood up to wave their
flags, the governor signed to Winifred
and Lottie to come and stand in front
Of him! SO Lottie. who never pushed
herself forward, and who was always
ready to give place to others, was hon.
ored above all the school children,
whom she now looked at with a beam
ing smile.
The people cheered the governor. but
the school children were chiefly inter-
ested in his smile at Winifred, as she
handed him the bouquet. and in Lottie,
who presented n to he smiling and
beautiful lady at his side.
How did you manage 1t, Lottie?"
asked Doris at supper, regarding her
sister with a new respect.
She didn't manage it at ALL" ex-
planned her father. Her kind deed

: I'd horses, too, for my mamma,

Sometimes I draw a big brick mousse
Eometimes a cat n little u
And then will say to me.
why, yes, this is the mouse. | see,
When, really, what she's looking at,
I'm sure she must know, is the cat.
And if | draw a butterfly.
That goes far up mi the sky.
She thinks-I can't imagine
Perhaps it is the old red COW!
But when l draw, as best I can,
A pictr.I Of a big tall man.
Then l clap my hands and shout
"Hurrah!'
She always knows it is papa!

The New Kentucky Home
BY Louise Moss.

Boone was a happy man when he
left the little community east OF the
Cumberland mountains.
He set forth with his family for the
Iand he loved. Whether Mrs. Boone's
heart was heavy when she passed the
place where her eldest son was killed
or not, she did not let her husband
know.
It Is no wonder Mrs. Boone felt a
thrill Of pride when her husband told
her she would be remembered in
American history as the first woman
who had stood on the Kentucky river.
Before they had time to be lonesome,
others joined them.
They were happy until one of their
men was killed on December rs. Then
they were left alone.
They had good meat and cream.
They had salt and everything neces-
sary.

to commence, the government having long before acquired a site for the post office at the corner of South Main and Grove streets. This petition ask ed that the building be not erected there because, it was set forth, the site was not a convenient one in which to have the new building located; that Is, convenient for the majority of the people of the city.
 The petition evidently was effective, for work was held up and there has been no activity about the site or no promise of any, since that time. Talk ing about the matter of a post office while in this city one Jay few months ago, Congressman Mahan told leading city official that he was willing to urge in the post office mat ter what Putnam people wanted urged.
 There was some talk Monday thzs pending developments may bring the announcement that a new site is to be secured, but this is purely conjec- tural on the part of those who are guessing. An appropriation for a fed eral building here has long since been made. however, so the chances are aI- together favorable that the city will get it sooner or later.
