A Carlisle young man drove two
miles alone before he discovered
! that his sweetheart had fallen out
of the automobile. Love1making in
that city must lack some of the ar
dor that characterizes it around
| Paris.
A Paris form player, who has had
more or less success in picking win
ners, says that one way to pick a
winning race horse is to select a
steed which does not run SO long in
enc place as the rest Of them.
Any old plug of man may give
an automobile horn a little tOOt
and the average person wants to
lynch him. but a pretty girl may
blow the blame thing out of the
frame and nobody pays the slight
est attention to it. Isn't it funny
what a difference it makes?

Paris man in broad daylight
drove his machine through a rope
stretched across Main street at the
corner of Main and Seventh, and
then in an indignant manner
wanted to know why the city didn't
! have Waterman stationed there

Politics is a rough business for the
politician. He builds himself 4
platform from the odds and ends
that lie around loose, and gets his
friends to drive the nails for him.
All the good deeds he has done he
has to relate himself, and all the
bad ones are brought up by his OPP
ponents.
No candidate for public Office in
Bourbon county is as good as he
says he is, and none is as bad as his
opponents say he is. Most people
distrust all professional politicians,
but most of them deserve less CEN
sure than they get. The best poll
tician is usually the best man in
more ways than one.
Every country editor knows that
there are some friends he is bound
to ..ose every year. IT'S a part Of
the game, and he has to take it as
it is. To keep everybody loving us
we'd have to keep out of the really
interesting happenings that go on
around us, and tone down our views
Of everything TO nothing. -

In recent issue Of THE NEWS
there appeared Typographical
error, Insignificant and absolutely
harmless in itself. Yet no less than
dozen friends of the paper took
the time and trouble to call our at
tention to it, losing sight OF the
Importance of the item itself. When
baseball player makes an error he
can get out with good alibi, and
he always has one. But nobody
will believe that the mistake in a
newspaper item is a typographical
error.
