MR.. DALEY TO "a RUBE.v
(Contributed.)

Some time ago saw communi-
cation in THE NEWS, signed "a
RUDE, T" deploring the need of Paris
for a park for recreational purposes,
and arguing against it in rather a
sarcastic way. Through the non de
plume of "a Rube" / saw my old
friend, John Corntassel. Some man
he is. Lives near enough to town
to know something about town life,
far enough in the country to know
all about that. Raised family of
ten children, six boys and four girls,
and not dummy in the lot
But, John, look me in the eye while
I tell you something. Things have
changed since yop were a boy, still
more, since your father was a boy.
Those times were different when you
had to bring in all the stock at night
into the stOckade around the house,
as a guard against Indians, wild cats
and other varmints. Remember that
time when you had the buck ague
when you watched for a deer all
night, and when the buck passed by
lust at the break of day your hand
shook so that you couldn't hit barn
door. And Davy Crockett killed
killed eighty bears in one winter,
went down into an earthquake crack
in the dark and let the life out of a
bear with a Bowie knife, then spent
the rest of the night climbing a
hickory tree and sliding down in his
buckskin breeches to keep warm.
Why, even l can remember when
was a boy at Newport, Ky, how
the lower part Of Taylor's Mill Bot
tom was forest of all kinds of trees,
some of them wonderful for size and
beauty. There l found wild strawber-
ries and caught ground squirrel
with my hands, and viewed the re-
mains of dead horses torn by bloody
mouthed hogs. A little up the stream
was mill dam that backed the wa
ter into every hollow for long dis
lance around. Ferns fully five feet
high grew there, the lovely lady
fern, Jack-in-the-pulpit, Dutchman's
breeches, bloodroot, dogwood, paw
paws, filberts and whatnot, while fly
| ing squirrels sailed from tree to
| tree. and tree toads, black snakes and
bullfrogs made life we'll worth liv-
| ing.
Now. in come civilization" down
go the trees, the mill pond becomes a
gulch. the C. & o. buries the dam out
of sight. Shall we have nothing in
return for these lost joys? Shan't we
have a park, where we can have a
few trees and flowers and walks, etc.,
for our children co devlop- health and
strength and beauty in? l hope so.
Shame to Paris if we do not.

LIGHTNING PLAYS QUEER
FRANKS IN SCOTT COUNTY

Lightning played freakish prank
at the farm of Will Leach, near
Georgetown, Tuesday, when it struck
his tobacco barn, tore off the shingles
on the roof, ran down a post, which
it split in two, singed a portion of
the tobacco, which four or five men
were unloading, stunned two en-
ployes, Marshall Cook. who was
standing near the post and George
Canadian, so that they were thrown
in a heap on the floor, and lifted off
the hat of Claude Dillon. A mule
was thrown violently to the ground.
The damage to the property, which
was not great, is covered by insur-
ance.

Washington, Anril 9.-It is realized here today that unless t,,a situation at VladivostoK is handled With the greatest tact grave and far-reaching trouble may be expected.
 There has been no official report on the statement of Lenine. the Bolshe- wiki premier. that Russia might de- clare war upon Japan because of the landing of Japanese troops at the Si- berian port. but the news in press dis patches occasioned no surprise. It has been assumed that German influences were working unceasinly to bring about an open rupture between the Balsheviki and Russia's late allies. Lenine is believed to be peculiarly susceptible to German influences, and officials here believe the utmost care will be necessary to avoid furnishing preteXt for the declaration of war which he threatens.
 Assurances already have been given that the landing of Japanese and Brit ish forces at Vladivostok was merely for the protection of life and property. following the murder of Japanese and was not connected i'll any way with the discussion of possible Japanese in VaSiOn of Siberia.
