PROMINENT sWEDE DIES

One of Sweden's most widely known dissenting churchmen and politicians, Paul Petter Waldenstrom, has Jus, died, in his 74th year. He was well known in certain religious circles in America, which he visited a number of times as a student of the free churches and also as founder of the Swedish Missionary association. He received the degree of doctor of the ology from Yale in 1889.
 He was forceful and ready orator and of unfailing wit and humor. Many anecdotes are told by the press to H. lustrate his quickness of answer. To a young student who had ventured to doubt the story of Ealaam's ass, Was denstrom said:
 q have heard many man talk like an ass: why may not an ass at one time talked like man?'

CELESTIAL VISITORS

It is estimated by the Peoples Home Journal that one hundred million shooting stars could be seen nightly if the sky were covered by tele- scopes having lenses of even ordinary strength. Sometimes these cratic visitors into our sky realm appear in thousands, seeming to radiate from a single point. One such notaD:e snow CT of stars corruscated and blazed from sky center in the constellation Leo in 1883. In 1882 this swarm O. shooting stars will cross the earth's orbit again. A shooting star first ap- pears at a height of about seventy four miles, disappearing at an average height of fifty miles. It travels at rate of twenty-five miles @ second.
 In addition to the meteors seen in the mass with the naked eye. estimat- ed at not less than 146 billions a year. doubtless ten times this number pass as mere streaks of light across the field of the observers telescope. A meteor is usually not larger than PCl Ol ptUDlt. hC IT AOtlOh NeiuoCN Os it's swift fall from space generates an intense heat, which often consumes it before it reaches the earth. In this process of disintegration. dust is pro duced. and this is scattered on the earth's surface or distributed through out space. Meteors add to the earth yearly an amount of matter amounting to fifty thousand tons.
 A connecting link between our planet and the universe is the me teroite. This is a metallic or stony mass of greater or less size which rushes into the earth's atmosphere with a brilliant glow, due to heat caused by friction. In falling it some times becomes imbedded in the earth's surface. Its descent is accompanied with a roar like a waterfall and very often by violent explosions. It is a fragment of a much larger body which has been destroyed or from which it has become separated. A meteorite is often spoken of as a meteor, but this is. incorrect.

THE MOST POLYGLOT ARMY

It has been said the most polyglot der General Sarrall, in the Balkans.
 There are Frenchmen, Britons, Hin- dooes, Italians, Russians. Serbs, Al banians and Greeks. There are men of different colors. There is a babel of tongues.
 But this Sarrall army will be as nothing compared with the army of Uncle Sam. Here all the races of the world will meet on an equality to don the American uniform and fight under the American flag.
 It is an army of sturdy young men Americans all, whether native born or naturalized.

The best proof of this is that they did not seek to evade service.
 It will be a good thing to study this list when we get pessimistic. What is going on in New York is also hap pening in Boston, in Chicago, in Cleveland, wherever there are great numbers of foreigners who have be- come naturalized and who are fully awake to what America means to them. their families and to future generations.
 America has been found worth fight ing for and worth dying for, if needs be.

Whom Does J. G. Bird re-
gard as His Strong
9est Opponent?

In last weeks issue of the Corbin
Times, the Bird Organ, j. G.. Bird
wrote and had printed ten different
articles assailing r. S. Rose.
Not u word was said in any OF
those articles, or in the paper,
against either of his other oppon-
ents.
Judged by that, whom does Bird
think is his most dangerous sppon-
emit?
Is it Rose, whom he is so vicious
ly attacking attacking to the limit
Of his paper-attacking to the ex-
clusion of everybody else?
Or is it somebody he is saying
nothing against?
Why should J G. Bird write, have
printed and sent out-and pay for
it-ten seperate articles in the same
issue of paper assailing man he
doesn't think is i'm the race?
Would he send out 10000 copies
of his paper, filled with all kinds of
Islander and filth against man he
didn't think was in his way?
Doesn't anybody who has a spoonful
Of brains know that J. G. Bird
would not be spending his good
money and time to cripple a man
unless he knew that man was out
running him?
Everybody knows, including j,
c.. Bird, that r. S. Rose is the
strongest and fastest man in this
race-and growing stronger all the
time. rs the voters come to know
more of his qualifications and Birds
utter lack Of them.
Hence 10000 copies OF a paper fill
ed with ten articles of falsehood,
SANDER and slime are paid for and
and sent out.
j. G. Bird knows the man he has
to beat il he hopes to be Circuit
Judge; and he is putting his money
and his ticks where he thinks they
will do him the most good. Adv.

to divide time with Rose and the
other candidates because he could
draw crowd and none of the
rest of them could.
If, then, neither of these was
Mr.. Birds real reason for refus-
ing to let the people see him and
his opponents on the same stump,
what was it?
That's easy.
A ten year old school boy could
answer that with the book shut.
His real reason is HE'S
AFRAID TO.
He knows that r. S. Rose car
ries buzz saw and knows how
to use it.
He cant agree to divide time
with the other candidates and
refuse to divide time with r. S.
Rose too.
If he agrees to divide time and
nave joint discussion with the
other candidates, he must agree
ia divide time and have a joint
discussion with r. r. Rose.
He got taste of that buzz
saw R. S. Rose carries, on the
first day of Circuit Court here
and HE'S AFRAID; HE'S
AFRAID.
Poor little Mr.. Bird.
1t must be awful to be dying
for a 81, 10000 office for which
he knows he hasn't a single quail
ification, and to have to hide out
from his qualified opponents for
fear the voters will find out that
he is as utterly unqualified as he
knows himself to be!
1t must be terribly humiliating
to him.
Any man who has any self
respect and isn't as crazy for an
Office as Mr.. Bird is would either
face the music like a man or
quit. -Advt.

Get Together
Mr.. Bird.

In our last weeks issue we de-
tailed how R. S. Rose discovered
that j. c. Bird was to speak at
Artemus, in Knox county, one
night last week; how he called
him up over the telephone and
asked for division of time and
a joint discussion at that APP
pointment and that Mr.. Bird
meet the other candidates and
arrange list of speaking dates
for them all covering the entire
District.
We also detailed that Mr.. Bird
fatty refused to grant a division
of time and a Joint discussion at
the Artemus appointment, say
ing that he didn't propose to draw
a crowd for Rose to speak to.
Also how Bird refused to meet
the other candidates for Circuit
Judge to make a list of speaking
dates for them all covering the
District, saying that they could
make .heir own appointments
and he would make his.
We have learned since that
when when he faced his vast
crowd at Artemus ofcourse, we
all know what vast crowds he

had been trying to raise a fuss
with him; and he didn't want to
have a difficulty with him.
How, which one of these was
his real reason?
You pay your money; and you
take your choice.
Who ever heard of Rich Rose
raising a fuss with anybody?
Certainly a man must be hard
pressed for excuses to advance
one as VIGOROUSLY ridiculous as
that. But, then, a drowning
man will grab at even a straw.
Nobody ever heard of Rich
Rose raising a fuss with any,
body.
On the other hand Bird is
known to have hit Ed Under
wood in the head with a stick of
wood; that he attacked S. X.
Dossett, Cashier of the Proctor
Coal Company with a knife and
made a personal attack on Chas.
Finley in the Court house at
Williamsburg.
Nobody who knows r. S. Rose
and j.. c. Bird believes for a min
ute that Rose has been trying to
raise a fuss with him. s4
Nobody believes that Bird be-
lieyes that.
, And considering the crowd
which everybody knows Bird
don't draw-as illustrated at Arte-
mus nobody believes he refused

always draws-there were Is
men, one woman, two boys and
a billy goat present.
The billy goat kept coming in
and going out and can hardly be
counted.
This was the vast crowd which
Mr.. Birds fame as an orator had
brought out to him.
No wonder he didn't propose
to draw crowds for R. S. Rose to
speak to.
A man who can draw a crowd
like that ought not to be asked
or expected to divide 1t with any
body certainly not with one of
his opponents.
But for some cause Mr.. Bird
didn't give that vast audience
the same reason for refusing to
divide time with Rose which ne
had given Rose.
He stated to Rose that he
didn't proposee to draw crowds
for Rose to speak to; and that
Rose knew that he (Rose) could
not draw a crowd of his own.

SSch III tue SoiuiiiiIS Oh the Jelll-
co Advance-Sentinel, the Corbin
Times, the Mountain Advocate
or the McCreary County Advo-
cate, an article headed: -" What
the Press Says About j. c. Bird"
The article contains clippings,
or quotations, from other papers
stating what a great, great law
yer and what great, great man
j. c. Bird is and how everybody
who is anybody is for him for
him for Circuit Judge.
If the article appeared in the
Corbin Times the clippings were
probably taken from and credit
ed to the Mountain Advocate,
the Jellico Advance-Sentinel and
the McCreary County Advocate.
If it appeared in the Mountain
Advocate the clippings were pro-
badly credited to the other pa
pers.
And so with the McCreary
County Advocate.
This article seems to have gone
the rounds of the papers in and
near this Judicial District.
1t was presented to this paper
for publication, but turned down.
Many good people who know
that j. c. Bird is no part of
lawyer ard is not in the race for
Circuit Judge may have won
dered why papers whose editors
know absolutely nothing about
his qualifications or chances
should be blowing him up,
Mr.. Good Citizen, we can ex-
plain to you in two words: Money
talks.
If you noticed, at the bottom
of that article, with the possible
exception of the Corbin Times,
appeared the letters ADV" or
"Advt."
If you didn't notice that, hunt
up the copy of the paper you saw
the article in and see if they
don't appear there. Maybe they
don't appear in the article as it
appeared in the Corbin Times;
but look at any of the others.
What do those letters at the
bottom of the article mean?
Why, they stand for the word
Advertisement"
And they mean that the print
ing of that article was paid for
by the man who had it printed
or by some one of his friends.
And if you will go back to
each of the papers to which those
clippings are credited in that ar
ticle-the papers which printed
them first-you will find the
same ADV" or 'Advt." at the
the bottom of them there,
And in each case it means that
the paper which printed it in the
first place paid for it.
The other day we asked the
editor of one of the papers which
printed one of those clipping first
what the meaning of the letters
ADV" or "Advt." at the bot
tom of it was, He laughed and
said: 1T means aa1-, $500 o
me-"
1t means more than that, too.
1t means that the man who
paid for having Imprinted, wrote
it himself; just as a patent medi-
cine man or a man who stands a
stud, jack or bull writes adver-
tisment for his animal and pays
for having it printed.
So, when you read one of those
clippings in the paper which first
printed it, you were reading
what Mr.. Bird or one of his back
ers said about himself.
In either case it was Mr.. Birds
