Considering The Cow.

Oh let us cultivate the COW,
And try and educate her.
Let us by all means show her how
Culture, might yet translate her
From simple bovine, crude of taste,
To quite a charming creature,
With rather complex problems fased
Oh. let us up and teach her!
Surroundings, quite important are;
Environment and trimming
Just like heredity go far
And culture knows no feigning.
A carpet, say, in Bossy's stall
Will make for true refinement;
The vulger straw is, If mt all,
For trdinary kline ment.
A monograph might be installed
To play II Trovatore.
Or other gems so well recalled,
Or bits of oratory.
Some paintings, too, will lend Il tone
OF culture to the stable,
And Boss will come into her own;
AS far as she is able, f.sJ

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system
Of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network OF nerves, but when
health Is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamhl
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scotts Emul-
sion Is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood aud
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. II Is free from alcohol.

In the Legislature

Inc Legislature is now down
to business and we will soon see
what there is in store for us in
the way of new and better laws.
One of the first bills to be acted
upon will be the Anti-pass law.
We have never tried to dictate
to any one. and we surely would
not go on record as telling the
Members of the General Assem-
bly, what to do in any case. but
we can always be found some
where on all questions.
We believe there should be an
act passed in conformity with the
constitution as to the officers of
the Nation. State, District, Coun-
ty and City using free passes
from common carriers. Not that
we believe there is any danger of
the companies ever owning any
officer who has been elected by
the people, as the people usually
know the men for whom they
cast their vote. But. we do not
stop here. There are always a
lot Of fellows who have to have
something TO talk about. and,
this has given them a chance to
talk about the railroads and whit
tie on q nice piece of soft white
pine and cusS everything and
everybody who has accumulated
anything in this world, and swear
that the world is going to the
bow-wowS, and that the corpora
tions own the officers and are
soon going to own the world, and
that something must be done.
These same fellows will not
work at any kind of work and
are always looking for some
smooth easy way to get to a for
tune. even if they have to steal it.
AS rule the officers are well
paid, that is, the law makers, and
do not have to SELF out. They are
men who have integrity, men
who have honor, men who nave
a desire to do something to make
for themselves a name. men who
want 10 90 on record as being
sure enough men. They want
to leave a name and a record that
their Families will rise up and call
them blessed: a name the gener-
atoms yet to come will honor as
being men who did something for
the general good of all the people
OF the great State of Kentucky.
What does it matter to anyone
if the railroads do give to the
newspaper men passes? The
newspaper men can only exist at
the best they can do. The news
paper man is the man whom all
expect more of than any other
idnividual. He is supposed to
tell all the news and do it for
nothing. He is supposed to know
all and everything; tell of all the
marriages. births and deaths; tell
all about the great victory his
friend Smith won. Tell about
Jones losing his best dog. Tell
what the railroads and coal mines
are doing and keep the people
posted. on the change of railroad
schedules and excursions. If the
editor fails to give this informa-
ton he is called "a scoundrel and
ought to have his paper taken
away from him. Yet. he ought
TO do all this gratis and not even
get "A chance to ride a few miles

MUST STOP GAMBLING.

Panama, Oct. 2S.--Raids on gam
bling places which have been flourish
ing in Colon are being conducted by
Governor Ruben Arcia, who is the
governor Of the province and has pow
ers superior to the alcalde Of the city.
Two places have been raided, and their
property confscated. Similar raids
were made in Panama about d month
ago. Governor Arcia has declared
that he will not stop till gambling
has been driven from the city.
"A Arcia is one of the characters Of
the Isthmus. A comparatively young
man, he has made fair fortune out
of cattle and lands, and his wealth has
placed him beyond the reach Of the
ordinary corruption. He Is little
father to the poems all over the prov

have told him that he has ideals like

from? 1t is quite clear that it is not
there and that the trade is threatened
with famine with the inevitable re-
suit that prices will have to work
still higher in order to force further

We cannot consume every available
bale, as we must have a certain end Of
