MAKING GREAT RECORD
Successor to J. P. Sullivan
35-tf

That the people of Kentucky
have a man on duty in the Senate
at Washington, who is always on
the job to guard the pocket books
of the taxpayers regardless of pol
itics was demonstrated Monday
when Senator Beckham, of Ken
lucky, voted to reduce the salaries
Of members of the Farm Loan
Board in the rural credits bill by
S2,500 each. The higher salary
was voted by close vote of 26 to
25, by the Democratic majority but
Senator Beckham of Kentucky and
Senator Kern, of Indiana, voted
against the Democratic majority
which put it over, and thereby
proved that no petty politics can
govern them when the interests of
the taxpayers are at stake. With
out flourish or flub- dub, or a pa
rade to the footlights and rushing
into print upon every possible oc-
casion, Beckham, is making a great
record and Kentuckians are proud
of him.-Stanford Interior Journal.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE
SNAGTOWN TORCHLIGHT

The Snagtown Fiddling Band ap-
peared at the trial of Mike Dew
ney which took place at Peavine
Ridge Thursday. The band was a
witness in the case, having seen
Mike cross the road with a sack
of geese on his shoulder. The
band was playing at the time they
saw Mike, but the court ruled that
it was not necessary to admit the
music as evidence.
Jack Goodine surprised the con-
gregation at the Possum Ridge
church last Sunday by falling
through the ceiling while preaching
was going on. He had gone to the
loft to hear the sermon, and at
the same time to keep from paying
the preacher anything.
Dell Hogaboom, having been puz-
zled for several weeks to know
why he could not sleep at night,
has discovered that it is because
his bed is stuffed with owl feathers.
The proprietor Of the moonshine
still on Muskct Ridge has installed
bell on tall post nearby, for
the use of his patrons who are
wanting drink while he happens
to be absent, and the public is re-
quested to let its wants be known
by ringing the bell. The old bell
that stands on another post near
by has no clapper and can be
used by those who do not want
a drink.
Miss Margaret Sisley has return
ed from pleasant sojourn with
relatives and friends near Punkin
Center and has been trying to re.
member where she left her gum
sticking.
Mrs. Alf Sisley is making her.
self appear taller by wearing an
upright hat with tail feathers on it.
Rector Williams had just left a
tree Thursday morning when it
was struck by lightning. He says
if a person will always take that
precaution he will never get killed.
George Bean expects to be pres
ent at the footwashing service at
Hog Ford next fourth Sunday.
Last year he attended and came
home with a fine pair of sox.
Little Eddy Schupp says he
would not mind getting up every
morning if it wasn't so much
trouble to put on his clothes and
wash his face.
George Schneck, the well known
Snagtown druggist, says it is in
teresting to watch the ants at
work in large droves, running to
and fro on the ground, but that
it is hard matter to tell just
what they are trying to do.
The dogs along the road are
merely wasting their time when
they bark at Mail Carrier Graham
because he does not pay any at
tention to them.

Garden plants in History.

Which is the oldest flower In Jul
gardens? The question was raised
over our dahlia blooms, which like the
fuchsia, come originally from Mexico.
The first plants to appear here were
grown at Holland house from seed sent
home by Lady Holland from Spain in
1879. In the previous year Sir Joseph
Ranks introduced the ~hydrangea. The
fuchsia had then been known among
lis already for close on a century. A
further turning up of authorities dis
covered that the tulip (from the Lee
vant) was introduced about 1850, about
which time, by the way, the horse
chestnut reached us from Asia and
the lilac from Persia. Some forty
years before that had come the dam
ask rose, simultaneously, among the
trees, with the larch. The oldest
claimant with a recorded date seemed
to be the crocus. 1t arrived from the
far East in 1339.-London Chronicle.

NIGHTS BEAUTY is HIDDEN
Few Artists Have Been Given the
Ability to Depict Its Proper
Glory and Majesty.

One of the perpetual regrets of
painters is the unattainable beauty of
night. Whistler's successful Noe
turnes are Of early twilight.
The later hour, when the worlds
vast shadow weighs on us, seems I'M
realizable in paint.
Even Crome, perhaps the greatest
master of nightfall pictures. could not
go beyond the twilight.
The perfect medium for darkness
was discovered by Turner, whose set
of engraved Moonlights are among the
most precious works that man has
made.
There are but about a dozen en-
graved and printed by the master.
They SO far transcend his colored
drawings, from which they were de-
rived, as to prove that black and
white can c~onjure up the spirit of
night more potently than color.
But they are not ordinary mezzo-
tints; they are creative rather than
reproductive; no one but Turner could
have done them, mol could he have
communicated their secret to his en-
gravers.

New Ears for New Music.

Few laymen appreciate to what an
extent musical esthetics is a matter
of psychology. We ordinarily assume
that music expresses" by some di-
vine charm, that the composer who
signs of love has discovered" the
proper musical statement Of loves
emotion. But musical materials are
not discovered; they r manufac-
tured. 1t is by habit and repetition,
not by intuition, that we come to ac-
cept chords of dissonance. The major
and minor third of the old music is
very sweet because it is very ia
miliar. The new bald colors of flu
turist music are ugly because they
are strange. Our ears contain little
formulas, sc to speak, for the chords
and scales that have been ground
into our consciousness by frequent
hearings. When we hear a new piece
of music it must agree with them to
some degree, else we feel uncom
Portable. Now, these formulas,
though they thrive on variation, hate
negation. So if the e music ne
gates them entirely, as futurist mu-
sic does, there is no entente possible.
Our ears will not serve our purpose.
We must become familiar with the
new style.-The New Republic.
