To handle any subject justly there
must first be general publicity, and
then 81 ability to understand what
has been made public. The point
which the British papers make is that
the English government should be
more tolerant In explaining. Com
munities, even nations. have been
embroilsd in disputes because of
ignorance. Flippant and premature
Judgment. an ability to understand
the situation, or a desire directly to
pervert the meaning ire likely to
cause friction. We are glad to see
the British papers contending for
greater publicity. As for some
American newspapers, more wisdom
and tact are needed.

"EASY kEEPERS."

stockmen recognize certain
breeds of animals as being
"easy keepers" An easy keep
err eats less food than the aver
age animal because it utilities
better the food that it does con-
sumo; there is more complete
digestion and assimilation and
less waste. The same difference
exists i'm different animals. The
OK eats a large amount Of food
in proportion to it's size and
growth, the goat a small amount.
The same difference exists in
human beings. Some eat large
rations though they do not gain
much in flesh, others eat little
but maintain weight. The stock
man finds it economical TO Sc
Iect easy keepers, and in these

easy keepers" are quite desir-
able in the ordinary household.
The average person eats far too
much and too complex q diet.
Thorough mastication and oc-
casionai fasting tend to reduce
the amount of food required.
This is desirable not SO much
for financial economy as for
physiological, for every unit of
energy expended in digestion
and elimination beyond what is
necessary, is waste.

CAREFUL IN LOCATING BEES
Not Safe to Fasten Horse or Cow In
Place Where Little Insects
Pass for Water Supply.

A beekeeper not long since
chained a valuable COW In line be-
tween a large apiary and a stream of
water where the bees few In great
numbers for water. At night when
she went for the cow she found that
the bees had stung the COW to death.
1t Is never safe to fasten a horse
or cow where bees would pass in
force, as the horse or COW might
switch its tail as a bee went by and
provoke it to use its sting, when all
the bees would unite in the attack, and
as the animal could not fee from the
attacking party, 1t would almost sure
ly be stung fatally. This fact must al
ways be remembered in locating al
apiary near street or road.
In case an animal is severely stung
the best remedy is to cover the suf
fering brute with blankets wet in colo
water. If a person or animal is at
tackled, 1t is well to hasten into a barn
or other building as the insects will
often hesitate to follow into the build
ing, especially If it is somewhat dark.

The Periscope Gun.

Each new invention for the promo
ton of warfare gives emphasis to
General Sherman's definition of war,
now so familiar the world over. The
newest thing in the firearm line is a
rifle which. sighted by a periscope
attachment, is able, it's inventor
claims, to shoot around corner or
around tree. With this new gun a
man can sit on chair in the trench
es and, by the arrangement of mir
rors, see the foe on the ground
above. aim the gun and deluge him
with a shower of steel and all with
out risk to himself.
We who have not yet tasted of the
horrors of war will now be less in
clined than ever to do so because the
periscope gun completely upsets our
plan of waging warfare, viz, shoot
ing at the enemy from behind a tree.
We've always figured that plenty of
standing timber would be near the
spot where we, in our imagination,
would gallantly defend our colors.
However, the periscope gun elimi-
mates this picturesque style of fight
ing. Hiding behind a tree or a
building to escape the enemy's bull.
lets would be huge joke when once
the enemy reckoned our where
abouts.
The periscope rifle is the invention

MERCHANT
ASSASSINATED
Tom Brantley, Young Miner
Charged With Killing B. F.
Hart.

Morganfeld, KY, April Teton
Brantley, a young miner, whose
home is at Dekoven this county, was
lodged in the Union county Jail here
charged with the murder of B. F.
Hart. merchant at Dekoven. The
feeling against Brantley is high and
precautions have been taken by
Sheriff Abel to guard against any
outbreak.
1t is charged that Brantley, while
intoxicated, went into the store of
Hart Wednesday and created "a
disturbance, for which he was or
dered from the premises. The
miner went, but soon returned with
a shotgun. it is alleged. Placing the
gun against one of the store windows
he is said to have fired twice at
Hart, hitting him both times. One
of the charges lodged in the heart of
the aged merchant, causing almost
instant death.
Immediately after the killing
Brantley ran to his home, it is
stated, and hid in the cellar, from
which he was dislodged by a posse,
which included nearly the entire
population of Dekoven. When
Sheriff Abel arrived at Dekoven he
found Brantley in the custody of cit
liens. Brantley apparently is in a
deep stupor.
