PROMISE BY
BOY OF EIGHT
Is Made Good When He
Reaches His Twenty
first Year.

Versailles, KY, Sept. 14.-Thir-
teen years ago last March William
Bentley, an eight-year-old boy, visited
M. P. Lancaster's store with his
mother, Mrs. Lena Bentley (nee Ora
tineau). His heart yearned for a toy
sprinkler, the price of which was 10
cents. His mother had spent all her
money for more important articles
and she asked the boy to wait-and,
childlike, he objected to waiting,
"Take the sprinkler, Willie; I'll credit
you," said Mr.. Lancaster, "Whenyon
get to be 2l years old l want you to
come in and pay me and pay me a
quarter. Will you do it," Eyes, sir,
! WILL" said the boy.
Last Thursday William Bentley,
grown to manhood, walked into Lam
casters store and laid Is cents on the
counter. Mr.. Lancaster had forgotten
the incident of thirteen years ago and
Bentley recalled it to his mind. 81
have never forgotten it," said he. Il
thought of it on my birthday several
months ago, but was then in Detroit,

this fall, so ! waited to pay you in

Kernsky and Four Ministers
Will Control Affairs Of
State For Present.
KALEDINES HOLDS OUT
Don Dossacks, Though Pro-
claiming Their Loyalty
to Kerensky.

A Russian republic has been pro-
claimed. The provisional govern
ment, under date of Sept. IA, issued
a proclamation declaring that to
strengthen the organization of the
state, a change to republican form
of government was necessary.
Danger still threatens Russia, the
proclamation says, although the re-
bellion of General Korniloff has failed.
The plan Of the Russian republic
has been one of the chief aims of the
radicals and the councils of soldiers
and workmen's delegates and was
given approval by the recent Russian
congress of Moscow.
A cabinet of FIVE members, includ-
ing Premier Kerensky, has been
named to take care of all matters OF
state. The only party men are Pre-
mier Kerensky and M. Nitkitin, min
lister of posts and telegraphs. both
of these are social revolutioniSts. The
others, including the ministers of war
and marine, are members of no party.
Although the position of the Keren-
sky government appears to be i'm
proving, the action of the grand coun'
Gil of the Don Cossacks in refusing tC
surrender General Kalendines, theil
hetman, is ominous. The leader o
the cossacks is accused o
completely in the Korniloff revolt
The cossacks protest their loyalty II
the government while ignoring thu
governments request for the givini
up of General Kaledines.

his unpatriotic remarks.
He further charges Lincoln with
being black-balled in the Masonic
lodge, and says he would have Joined
