Bad HEARING.

When Proctor Knott, now dead, was
governor of Kentucky an influential
citizen Of mountain county in the
eastern end of the state was convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to serve
a term of years in prison.
Having an aversion to going to pris-
on the mountaineer brought pressure
to bear upon the executive Office with
view to securing a pardon. His en-
enies were equally active in fighting
his petition, and they set on foot a,
movement to convince the pardoning
power that he was a menace to the
peace of the community and belonged
behind steel bah.
One day the governor received let
ter written personally by the convicted
man. 1t began as follows:

What Is a Camnar7

The world nc y knows the answer to
the momentous question, What is a
camper? The United States public
health service gives the information in
these few simple words: Campers are
persons who, OF their own volition or
through the enticernent OF others, re-
vert to prineva1 modes of existence
and ostenstbly obtain enjoyment there
from Both place and persons then ia
vor the development Of Irregularities,
encourage more or Jess responsibility
and lead to immediate wildness.. In this
there is no harm and often much good.
However, one thing should not be for
gottea-the arrangements. Allow the
animals to break loose once more for
the seasonal enjoyment, but by all
means have the camp sanitary, so that
in their wtldness they will do no
harm" Add to this the ability to bal
ance dough god on the left knee, hold
a cup of coffee in theEright hand and
brush black fly off the right ear with
the left hand, and you have the com
plete camper.-Outtng.
