Maude Muller, on summer day,
with her fellow ran away. in a ben
zine touring car, scouting to a
preacher far. Maudes father saw
the fleeing pair; smelled the benzine
scented air; caught a mule whose
name was Jane. and galloped down
the dusty lane. The mobile very
swiftly ran, but burned the oil out
of the can. The motor stopped upon
a hill, but Jane ran on just fit to
kill. Alas for maid, alas for man,
alas for empty benzine can! Maude's
daddy on the old grey mule came
and took her off to school. The
mule nigh wrecked the benzine cart;
the fellow died of broken heart.
The moral of this tale is sad: Don't
steal the girl; go ask her dad"

THE COST OF WATERLOO
ARE YET PAYING DEARLY

What the Battle of Waterloo Cost
Belgium" is the title OF an article
in the Belgian supplement to the
London Everyman. The author is
Pierre Macs, we'll known Belgian
man of letters. Among the many
titles inscribed upon the magnfi-
cent monument erected over the
tomb of the Duke of Wellington is
that of prince of Waterloo"
at is a fine title" says Pierre
Macs, but to us poor Belgians, the
great-grandchildre of the victims
of 1915, that title brings up some
unpleasant memories. We are still
paying, and paying dearly, for this
great mans glory. Eighty thousand
francs is the total of interest entered
yearly under the name of the Duke
of Wellington in our great book of
national debt. The present Duke re-
ceives from entailed estates in Bel
GUM revenues that reach the nice
little sum of 10000 francs. That
is one of the heavy charges that the
great coalition of 1915 has left us.
Can we hope that the services We
have rendered Europe and the hero
ism our soldiers have shown viii de-
liver us from it? Great Britain
only gave him sum of 100000.
The King of the Netherlands gave
him entaIled estates bringing in
10000 francs"
AS the result of an arrangement
between the Belgian State and the
representative of the Duke of Well
ington the descendants of the great
man to-day enjoy a yearly income
of SO,637 francs.

OUR PUBLIC MANNERS
NEED SOME ATTENTION

Some one has said that of all PEG .
pie in the world the Americans have
the worst manners in public. Wheth-
er this is an exaggeration or not, our
bad manners are amply in evidence
in most public places, especially
where there are crowds. 1t Is as
tonishing how even people of breed
ing who in private intercourses are
polite and considerable, lose all re-
gard for others when the relations
cease to be personal. In short, with
vast number of people, courtesy
does not seem to be a natural thing
but something merely imposed by
custom, and they lapse from it as
soon as their relations to their fell
lows cease to be direct and personal.
Even in the use of the telephone
this lapse is noticeable. People whose
voices and manners are affable in
face-to-face conversation very often
answer their phone calls with a
curtness that would be positively re-
scented by any one who was directly
addressed in such tone.-GIndiana

KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN
MEANING TO DEMOCRATS

The fact that the Republicans are
bringing their candidate for Presi-
dent to Kentucky is a declaration
of their Intention to make fight
for Kentucky's electoral vote. They
believe Kentucky to be debatable
ground and they. are going to make
desperate effort to capture Ken
tucky's vote in the electoral col
lege. The Democratic managers are
therefore forewarned. They know
what to expect. If Kentucky fails
to cast her vote for Woodrow Will
son, the fault will be largely with
the managers of his campaign in
this State.
IL the contest is fought out on ma
tional issues. if State affairs are en-
tirely ignored, if local dissatisfac-
tions and local differences are for
the time being forgotten, the Demo-
Gratis will carry Kentucky for Wood
row Wilson. But if the campaign
is so conducted that those who do
not sympathize with all that is be-
ing done by those now in control of
the Democratic organization in this
State. are invited to stay at home or
irritated into opposition to the Dem
ocratic ticket. the Republicans have
good ground for their hopes to car
ry Kentucky.
The coming of Mr.. Hughes ought
to be a good omen for the Demo-t
Gratis. 1t is a warning not merely
to the leaders. but to the rank and
file Of the party. and he comes In
ample time for the Democratic party
to set its house in order for th@
election in Misunderstanding

RETURN TO MINES
IN DISTRICT g
Six Thousand Men Are
Back On Job.
JOY NOW IN MINING CIRCLES
Old Wage Scale and Working
Conditions Prevail Mi.
nor Points Arbitrated.
VOTE CARRIES BY 81 TO 10

Central City, KY, Aug. 10.-Pho-
nographs are playing and lights are
burning brightly tonight in the
humble homes of Western Kentucky
miners because the strike which has
emptied larders and closed commits
saries for the past four months has
come to an end. Six thousand men
will return to work, proud that
their union has been maintained.
In a convention held here, duly
accredited delegates from thirty
nine local unions in District No. 90,
United Mine Workers of America,
voted to end the strike, the vote be-
ing 81 for and IS against the prop
osition. The majority voted to re-
turn to work on a recent compro-
mise proposition submitted by the
Western Kentucky coal operators.
The proposition grants the old
wage scale and working conditions
with certain exceptions, which are
to be arbitrated within thirty days.
The operators will appoint two ar
bitrators and the miners two. II
these four cannot agree they will Sc
lect fifth man.
The points to be arbitrated are
the price for a short-wall machine
and the pay for dead work" about
the mine. The men agree to work
as buddies in three rooms, selecting
their own partners. The operators
agree not to crowd the mines in or
der to enlarge store business and
rent receipts.
Both operators and miners are
more than glad that the strike is
over. Many fall orders have been
received and the mines will run to
full capacity for some time. This
will bring prosperity to district
which has suffered the pangs of de-
preston for several months.
Fate has turned the tables on the
miners of Central City. who have
been enjoying six-day runs while
their comrades in adjoining towns
have done nothing, The tipple OF
the Central Coal & Iron Company is
In ruins and cannot be rebuilt for
sixty days. In the meantime work
in other mines will be resumed.

FIFTY FEET OF SNOW
IN THE MONTH OF JULY

SnOw--50 feet deep within / 8 miles
of Santa Fe, N. NJ, on the Fourth of
July is a fact which is likely to
cause good many people to revise
their ideals of the Great American
Desert" of which so much is heard
in the East. Visitors at Santa Fe
Lake and to the top of the Lake and
Penitente Peaks have found snow
cOrnices around the crest of the era
ter overlooking the lake basin which
sloped off gently from the top. the
outer edge of the snow breaking off
abruptly in walls which ranged from
20 to 80 feet in height. There is no
doubt from the measurements of the
snow precipices that the snowfall in
midwinter must have been Is to 20
feet in places and that the peaks
were clothed in a solid mass of snow
from bottom to summit. There are
still masses of snow scattered all
around the lake which are yet four
or five feet thick. But for the warm
rains that come later. snow probably
would lie in the basin from years
end to years end. Despite the hot
July sun, the air Is so cool at the
peak level. more than $4,000 feet
above the sea, that the snow cor
nices are melting very slowly

Pen and Sword,

Louisville Courier-Journal: The
Turks in Mesopatomia are in full re-
treat, with the British hot upon their
heels. Or the British army has been
surrounded fully by the Turks.
Take your choice. Believe Berlin
censors or London announcements In
parliament, according to your lean
ings. II you are, in your capacity OF
reader of news, neutrai: IL you are
not in favor Of one censor rather than
another. you will believe that the
Turks and the British are figh Ing in
Mesopotamia-may that is
all you will believe.
II it were true, and IL Berlin knew
it to be true, that the Turks were
fleeing in all directions, the form OF
the censored news would be that the
British were surrounded by Turks.
If it were known in London that the
British were being pursued by the
Turks scratch of the pen would re-
verse the situation.
The pen hath its victories no less
renowned, II less lasting, than those
of the sword. II lie would last as
long as Waterloo the fgAung could
be done wholly in Berlin and Lon
don, and the campaign would be hard
fought, and every foot OF ground bit
