Hard 10 Tell Misfortune.

One nice thing about lite as |
see it," says Congressman Ed.
ward j. King. of Illinois. in the
May American Magazine, is
that misfortune cannot always
be set down for a certainty as
misfortune unless one judges it
in the light Of later events, and
by that time it frequently proves
to be not a misfortune at all.

Narcissus Field.

Morganfeld, KY, April %. -
Union county's memorial to her
pioneer settlers will be unveiled
the last week in April, for the
white narcissus field blooms year.
ly as a tribute to the unknown
men and women who came there
long ago and tried to make their
homes.
Seven miles from Morganfeld,
KY, just off the old Sulphur
Springs road, acres of blossoms
stretch in an unbroken piano.
ramma.
Part of the road is rough
and little used, for few peo-
pie travel it except when
the field blooms, The hills are
white with dogwood and at the
foot acres of blossoms stretch
in unbroken white. The only
break in the beautiful monotony
is the pink of two crab apple
trees.
And this is the story of the
white narcissus field:
Years and years ago, when
western Kentucky was a new
country, some settlers chose this
spot for their homes. They
built log cabins and, because this
was to be their home, they plant
ed flowers, always a sure sign
that civilization has come to stay.
But the little colony failed and
many of the pioneers died. They
were buried there with no stones
to mark their graves, but on
each grave some one who loved
them planted white narcissus.
Later, when the land around
was cultivated, the old burying
ground was left untouched. For
years the flowers have bloomed
and spread and remembered
those early dead. Now there is
not a spot that is not covered
with white blossoms. The field
is a wonderful living memorial
to the unknown men and those
who loved them enough to plant
flowers.
When the field blooms the
rough little road has more travel
than it knows all the rest of the
year. Dozens of cars go each
day, and leave massed with
flowers. Boxes are sent all over
the State, and all the hospitals
are remembered. April and the
white narcissus field will always
remember those pioneers, and to
be remembered by flowers is a
beautiful memorial. - Henderson

WOMAN FuRFEIIS
 RIGhT ID HAVE
 CUSTODY OF SON
Judge Elliott Orders Sheriff to Place Lad with Father,
 John Hunt.

Ray Hunt, aged II, is in the custo- dy of his father, John Hunt, and the lads mother, Mrs. Annie Hunt, must not attempt to obtain the boy or in terfcre with the fathers rights in any way, under penalty of being adjudged in contempt of court.
 This is the status of conditions. as they concern Ray, as the result of an crder issued yesterday by Judge John M. Elliott, chancellor, upon the petl- ton of John Hunt, the father. MT. Hunt stated he and the defendant were divorced in 1907, and that no ,ds- rosition of the child was made at that time because it was tacitly understood the little fellow would divide his time between the divorced parents. The petitioner alleged that defendant no" resides in Shreveport, is living an im- moral life, is not fit to rear th5 boy, and threatened to take the boy from Pine Bluff, where he is attending school Petitioner stated he is mar ried, able and willing to rear and educate the lad, and asked to be giv- cn custody, and that the court enJoln defendant mother from interfering. After hearing, the order was issued, and given to Deputy Sheriff McBur- nett to serve on Mrs. Hunt. The dep uty sheriff was instructed to bring the boy to court where he, could be for mally given into custody of the fath- CT.
 That's pitiable," said Judge Elliott, as the little fellow, sobbing, was brought to the courtroom. And the feeling with which the two words were uttered conveyed to the hearers deeper significance than they ordinar- l ily bear. The little audience knew that Judge Elliott had in mind, not only that little, sobbing boy, but l',nany, many children whose future and welfare are jeopardized through the acts of those responsible for their existence; that he had in mind the entire deplorahle tragedy that terml- mates in the divorce court-not of one couple. but of many.
 This is the second case involving a child to ho handled in the local courts this week. Only few days ago, Circuit Judge w. B. Sorrells awarded to a negro woman of Lln- coln the custody of boy she had reared, the court deciding against the father, an alleged ex-convict. who had abandoned the pickaninny in infancy
 These are but two of many cases that serve to demonstrate that the courts of Jefferson protect the chil- dren, placing the welfare of the help l less above all other considerations.
