Vacation time visitors to New York
City this summer will find a new
point Of interest on Broadway. At
the corner of Fourteenth street in
Union Square in one of the busiest
sections of all Manhattan there has
been placed a perfect replica of u
modern dreadnaught. 1t has been
constructed in the center of the
park and looks all the world as if it
had just arrived in port.
The ship, which has been named
the Recruit" was built through the
efforts of Mayor Mitchel's Defense
Committee and the contributions of
patriotic citizens. On Memorial Day,
with appropriate and imposing
launching ceremonies 1T was turned
over by Mayor Mitchell to Admiral
Usher for the use of the navy in re-
cruiting. The ship is manned by
thirty seamen from the training sta
ton at Newport, R. l., and is in COM
mand of officers of the navy. 1t is
being used exclusively for recruiting
and events that will stimulate en-
listing.
All day long speeches are made to
the crowds of onlookers, while on the
main deck men are given informa-
ton, and after qualifying, are passed
on to the examining surgeons, who
have Offices aboard. The turrets are
mounted with guns of wood that are
dol
fighting masts and several genuine
machine guns add to the realism.
The bridge is equipped with seach-
lights, signals, semaphores which are
worked every night The complete
routine of the ship is carried out,
and throughout the day and night the
Recruit" is surrounded by a crowd
of interested watchers. Band con-
certs are given nearly every night
and motion pictures of navy training
and the opportunity it presents
young men are flashed on screen
every night.
1t is planned to have a number of
interesting events occur on deck
every evening. John Philip Sousa,
who has just been made Lieutenant
in the Naval Reserve, is to make his
first outdoor appearance in New
York as an officer Band Master
abord the Recruit" directing the
Navy Yard Band. Last week nearly
three hundred young men who had
been enlisted at the New York Re-
cruiting Stations, gathered on the
deck of the Recruit" before leaving
for the training station at Newport.
Here they were addressed by Mon
seigneur Lavelle, representing Car
dinal Farley.

THE JULY AMERICAN MAGAZINE

There is a blending of articles and
fiction in the July American Maya
zine that give a reader the proper
proportion of helpfulness and enter
tainment. In "Markley's Method
one will find a serviceable idea that
can be put to use by all: John Hays
Hammond thinks Cecil Rhodes was
the most wonderful man he ever met,
and he tells some new things about
Rhodes. What the Middle-Aged Can
Do for Their Country" is full Of time
ly suggestions. Douglas Fairbanks
writes about some of his stunts in
the movies and Darwin p. Kingsley,
President of the New York Life In
surance Company, gives his idea
about the difference of $1,000 and
$5,000-a-year men.
The stories of Hugh S. Fullerton,
David Grayson, Gladys Johnson and
others are amusing and thrilling, and
"Sid's" editorial has a punch packed
in every line The serial story by
Edna Ferber, has generous install
ment, and the Interesting People"
department, and Family Money are
filled with good things. The results
of the contest How 1 Think Middle
Age Should Be Met" are also in this
issue.

KENTUCKY 125 YEARS AGO.

One hundred and twenty-years ago.
Friday, June 1, the State of Ken
lucky was admitted into the Union,
making the fifteenth State. 1t was
only through the delay of Virginia
in recognizing the independence that
the State failed to take her place
alongside of the thirteen original
colonies.
During her existence as State,
Kentucky has played an important
part in the Nations history, not only
in peace, but also in war. Every war
in which the United States has been
engaged Kentucky has borne her
share of the burden.
In the War of 1912 is was largely
through the ability of the Kentucky
sharpshooters that the important
battle Of New Orleans was won,
which was virtually the only victory
of the war. Kentuckians also gave
G. good account of themselves in the
war with Mexico. In the Civil War
the State declared her neutrality, but
what could be more natural when
one considers that a Kentuckian was
at the head of the government.
Although Kentucky took neither
side in the great international con-
fict, neverethless furnished her quota
of men, sending more soldiers to the
Union Army than the State OF Yer
mont and more to the Southern side
than Georgia.
1t was a Kentuckian who first
scaled the dizzy heights of Mount
Chapultepec and planted the United
States flag on it's summit; it was a
Kentuckian, Cassius NJ. Clay, who led
the abolitionists in the South; it
was Kentuckian who postponed the
Civil War ten years and when the
struggle at last came it was a Ken
tuckian who preserved the Union.
Can any State claim greater mem

AS Much To Blame As He"

A few days ago young Paris
girl came home very much disturbed
in mind and told her parents that a
young man had spoken to her on the
street in a very disrespectful way.
Her mother was as much angered as
he girl when she heard the story,
and both thought that the father
should take the matter up and chas-
tise the young man.
But the father, who was a wise
old owl in his day and generation,
after some reflection, said: "Daugh-
ter. YOU are not an immoral girl;
but let me tell you a few things
that may help you to look differently
at this matter. You are young and
attractive, and your dress is such that
It displays all the charms of your
face and figure. Your arms are bare
almost to the shoulder, your waist
Is cut so low that a good portion of
your shoulders and chest are ex-
posed to view; your skirt is narrow
and scant. and the slit in the front,
with your bright short petticoat
and your gauze stockings, display
your limbs almost to the knees:
dress is so cut that almost every line
of your figure is seen in bold relief.

EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
Like Finding Money.

The experience of the cultivators
OF some of the vacant city lots in
Paris is that in many instances it has
been like picking up money in the
streets" And not only is il profita-
bie employment from the viewpoint
OF dollars and cents, but the univer-
sal testimony is that it keeps the
doctor from the door. 1t is both a
heslth-winner and a money-maker.
In this connection cash returns
from the cultivation of one vacant
lot-a little over one acre-in
Georgetown-are of general inter
est TO those who are now engaged in
the community garden on the old
Fair Ground, and in the lots all
around Paris, as we'll as in private
gardens; The Georgetown Times
says:
&c. Haynes Nunnelley sold in Lex
ington, Monday. $3.50 pounds of to-
bacco which w. r. Woolums raised
last summer on a vacant one and
one-quarter-acTe lot just back of his
home on South Broadway. The little
crop bought S2240 hundred pounds.
amounting to $3.50 on the whole.
Some returns from an old back lot"
On this basis the Times figures
that if the city were to close up a
few old back streets and put out a
crop Of the weed, "the old town
would soon be out of debt and the
finances in fourishing condition."
This OF the tobacco crop alone; and
the extracts given are merely to show
what has been done, and what might
be done. with available city lots,
such as we have here in Paris.
But there are other money-making
crops as attractive inducements for
the "vacant-lot farmer" who, by the
investment of little time and en-
ergy, may make the greater part of
his home supplies and still have
enough left to go to market and put
money in his purse"
But that is just what he does
when he raises foodstuffs himself, for
his home-table alone, what he would
have to buy for himself and family
elsewhere. Any way one looks at It
the vacant lot and the backyard gar
den farmer will prove to be a winner
al least.

RAILROADS WIN VICTORY IN
HIGHER COURT

The United States Supreme Court
handed down decision Monday in
an important tax case which means
a decided victory for the railroads.
The decision entails a loss to Ken
lucky of many thousands of dollars
of revenue from public service cor
porations of all kinds, and determines
many pending suits. Pleas of the
State Board of Valuation and Assess
ment that the Federal Courts had no
jurisdiction to enjoin the corporation
franchise assessments and that no
Federal questions were raised were
rejected by the Court.

You went out on the streets with
your companions and saw this young
man, and knew that he was a
stranger; but you laughed and tossed
your head as you passed him; and,
perhaps, made some light remark
that he overheard.
HE is a stranger here, undoubt-
eddy, and did not know that you were
a moral girl, for he would not think
so by your general appearance. I am
sorry that this has occurred, but
daughter, don't you think you are as
much to blame as he?"
Can any fair-minded man think
otherwise than did this plain-spoken
father, who was doing his daughte,
a kindness in putting herself in view
of herself?

He was STOPPING over the Ford

of it, but these are some of the

when he walked to his Office next
