TRAVELLING SALESMAN TAKES
OWN LIFE IN CARLISLE
HOTEL,

Mack Riley, a travelling salesman,
committed suicide at the Central
Hotel, in Carlisle, Tuesday morning.
Riley came to the hotel early in the
evening and registered. He was as
signed to a room, and stated that he
would stay up little while before
retiring. He went to his room a few
hours later, apparently in good spir-
it's. On Wednesday morning when
the proprietor of the Central went
to call him, there was no response,
and the door being forced open, Riley
was found lying dead in bed. An
empty bottle which had contained
carbolic acid revealed the cause of
his death.
Riley was native of Nicholas
county and had during the past two
years been representing a large man
ufacturing company. He was for a
number of years in the employ of the
is. T. Barlow Co., at Headquarters, in
Nicholas county. He is survived by
his widow and nine children. He was
brother of Judge Riley, of More
head. 1t is thought that financial
troubles was the cause of his act.
The tragic taking-off of Riley had

was to have played a part, but death

At a meeting of the directors of
the Mutual Oil and Refining Com
pany, of Paris, this week Ii. G.. Camp
bell, an attorney of Whitley City,
was chosen as vice president of the
company. Earl w. Cox, a banker of
Darlington, Ind, and George Fish
back, a real estate man of Carlisle,
were added to the board of directors.
G. l.. Bell, of Paris, and S. V. Brents,
of Lexington, are the other directors,
being president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the company.
The Mutual Oil and Refining Com
pany, of Paris, has acquired leases on
$50 acres of land in Lincoln county,
situated near Crab Orchard. 1t is re-
ported that number of test wells are
being drilled in this vicinity, some
of which will serve to test the Mu-
tuaPs holdings. The Dix River Oil
Company is said to be preparing to
sink a test we'll to a depth of 5000
feet in this neighborhood if oil in
paying quantities is not encountered
sooner.
Names is Names" and There is
nothing in a name" are familiar
quotations, and often used. Many
people have wondered why the name
of Little Banjo was chosen for one
of the oil companies having its Office
in Paris. THE NEWS asked one of
the officials the reason. He replied:
We'll, it was this way. Up in the
mountain county where our holdings
are there was an old-timer who was
an expert at wood carving, and who
was a natural-born mechanical ge-
MUS. He had little boy who had
developed a decided musical talent,
and of whom I had grown very fond.
This boy always wanted banjo, and
finally the old man made one for him,
about the size of the society girl's
ukelela. 1t was a complete instru-
ment in every respect, and the boy
grew wild about 1T. He learned to
play it like a veteran. When came
back to Paris and our company, in
organizing, was at a loss for a name.
I related the story of the boys little
banjo, and asked permission to name
our company 1.-THE Little Banjo"
1t went through with a whirl, and
still sticks.

brand new audience.
Furthermore, the continued wor-
rying about Father and his possible
romantic upheavals convinces him
that he is still a devil of fellow,
and inspires him to try out these
qualities with which his wife so
generously endows him. He invests

his socks, ties, and, not infrequent
a flower in his button hole, pro-
claim the new faith in his powers
to fascinate.

mad fancies in his consciousness re-

power he has over women. Especial

selves in this posterish guise, never
go back to the respectable oil por-
trait ideal with the wife, children
and home as agreeable accessories
in the background.
Next to destroying Fathers faith
in his portrait, the most fatal form

Father may have chatted for a few
minutes regarding the lawn mower,
or something else equally vital.

Many woman'S jealousy of a

her husbanr's attention to the wom-

defending her from his wife's absurd
jealousy, he has made himself the
other woman's hampion-rather a
dangerous role for a sorely badger
ed husband.

Don't, as you value your peace of
mind, arouse slumbering romantic
possibilities on the part of Himself"
Irish for the head of the house
by silly, unfounded jealousy.
The average man, in the role of
pater familias, paints portrait OF
himself and hangs it in the chamber
of his inner consciousness. The por-
trait is that of a comfortable law
abiding citizen, fond of his wife,
his children, his ease, boasting a
hobby or two, perhaps, and as en-
tirely done with romance as with
the white fiannels he wore the sum-
mcr he graduated from high school.
All said and done, Pater Familias
is rather attached to his portrait,
he likes to see himself upholding
the best traditions of the country
and his wife, children and home as
the accessories to the benevolent
figure in the foreground.
1t will have to be something pret-
ty overwhelming to make Father de-
stroy his masterpiece and hang in
its place a less fiattering picture.
So whatever you do, do not de-
stroy your good mans belief in his
portrait make him feel that not
only the family, society, but the
State itself rests on such founda-
tion-as indeed it does.
Pater Familias' belief in himself
as a settled married man, done with
romance and philandering, must not
be disturbed. Let it be assumed
that these things are as inevitable
as death and taxes, don't joke about
the head of the house in the role of
Lothario, for men have a way of
feeling that as long as they have the
name, they might as well have the
game too.
And if Pater Familias ever takes
it into his head to replace the staid,
highly respectable portrait of him
self that adorns the chamber of his
inner consciousness by one of those
dashing, poster effects. depicting a
middle aged charmer. suave, subtle,
and irresistible, then prepare to
definitely abandon your peace of
mind.
