IRELAND THE FIRST TO
PROTECT THE ANIMALS

The first law in the world for the
prevention of cruelty to animals we
owe to Ireland A famous English
nobleman attempted to obtain a law
and was made so much fun of that he
backed out and gave up in despair.
Then there came into the House of
Commons from Galway, on the west
coast of Ireland, Dick Martin, who
was noted for two things: First, he
was very fond of animals and second,
he was very fond of fighting every
body whom he thought had insuted
him-on that point he had a well es-
tablished reputation.
So one day he brought bill for
the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Some one gave a cock crow Martin
stepped out at once on the floor of
the House of Commons and said he
would be very much obliged for the
name of the gentleman who had seen
fit to insult him. The gentleman didn't
give his name, and Martin, after wait
ing a minute, went back to his seat
amid the cheers of the House of
Commons, and his law was enacted
and became the first law in the world
for the prevention of cruelty to ami

NO EXTRA SESSION NEEDED.

The news has been published
throughout the State coming from
Frankfort, that there is likely to be
an extra session of the Legislature
TO provide means to carry into effect
the road program, as laid out in the
Moss road measure. providing for
$3.50 miles of State Highways.
There should be no extra session
of the Legislature. 1t is an expensive
luxury, Kentucky can do without. 1t
is not consistent with Gov Morrow's
promises of economy. If the money
necessary TO carry out the big road
plan can be raised without an ad-
valorem tax it can be done at this
session of the Legislature, and it
should be done. Because this Legis-
lature has frittered away half of its
time in vacations or recesses is no
justification TO put burden of tax
alton upon the people to pay for an
extra session Our solons ought not
10 be rewarded for the waste of time
by giving them more pay, and that
is what an extra session means.-Eliz-

CURIOUS THINGS TAUGHT
BY SPINNING TOPS.

All spinning bodies possess curious
properties, which they do not possess
when in the state of rest. Stand top
on its peg and it will Immediately
fall over, but spin the top and II will
stand up so long as the spinning mo-
ton is present. Spinning bodies seem
to possess or acquire rigidity when
they are spinning; for example, A
steel chain, placed over a wheel which
is spinning at high rate of speed,
and suddenly jerked off, will go run
ming along the street like hoop, and
will only collapse into limp pile
of chain when its spinning motion
comes to a stop.
Our earth is spinning body, and
hence possesses all the curious pro-
perties which spinning bodies do. 1t
points to the pole star, like all spin
ming bodies, for every spinning body
top, a wheel, anything--if under no
restraint in its movement will grad
ually turn on its axis and point to
the pole star. If our earth were to
stop spinning, it would Immediately
fall into the sun. Spinning bodies also
have tendency to stand up on end
that is, on their long axis. If you spin
an egg-shaped body it will always
endeavor to stand on its hind legs
so to speak, and spin on one of its
ends.-Hereward Darlington, in Les
lies Weekly

TOBACCO GROWERS DIS
SATISFIED. PLAN URGED
TO CUT ACREAGE.

Plans to launch a campaign de.
signed to curtail materially production
of tobacco in Kentucky, Tennessee
Southern Indiana and Southern Ohio
we're made yesterday at a meeting
held by the Tobacco Growers and
Dealers Protective Association, re-
Gently organized to make fight for
comparatively bidding by the big to-
bacco companies.
A call was sent out to tobacco
growers of the four states to attend a
meeting at Falls City Hall next Thurs
day night when farmers will be
asked not only to reduce tobacco
acreage next year, but to organize
local branches of the protective asso-
citation in every county of the tobacco
district.
Growers will be asked to reduce the
production of tobacco next year, &C
cording to II. B. CORN, of the protec-
tive association, as a direct blow at
the big tobacco companies, which, it
is charged, have forced down leaf
prices this year by violation of the
Supreme Court mandate issued in
1912, which dissolved the tobacco
trust and provided for a competitive
bidding by the buyers.
Thru the organization in every to-
bacco-growing county of branch of
the protective association, members
OF the organization expect to strength
EN- their fight against the big tobacco
companies, Mr.. CORN said. More than
600 invitations were sent out to tobac-
co growers in the four states

bacco Growers and Dealers Protec-
tive Association, presided at the meet

BREAKING A COLT
IN VERMONT
Daniel L. Cady, in Burlington Free Press

To break a colt and make him know
N-how to back and whoa and go,
And get him so he's calm and true,
And fond OF work. and fond OF you,
And so he'll pull in snow or sand.
And so he'll split the wind" or stand
And so he'll stay inside the road
In case he meets a Turk or toad
vi this is work, or Craftsmanship,
Whichever word becomes your lip.
You have to halter-strirg him first
y joyless job, but not the worst:
You get the halter on all right
In time, and make the throat-lat tight;
Then round your hand the rope you wrap,
Pull up yo2r pants, pull down your cap,
Dig in your heels and hold your breath
Prepared to be a-dragged to death
But, shucks and pshaw he doesn't move
No more than Venus in the Louvre.
rs sure's your name is Reuben Morse
You guess you've got a balky horse;
You're up against an iron steed.
You fear, that hates to learn to lead;
AN right, I'll bit him then you say,
And find who's master. anyway"
And so you hunt the leather bit,
a headstal small enough to fit.
And after breaking several laws,
You land that bit a-tween his jaws.
Then back you go and stand behind
And push him forrard with your mind
But soon, by George, you have to duck,
For round he wheels and bolts a-straight
Right at you. full of boss and hate;
You dodge behind again and try
To rein him. but, o. me, o my,
You might well airy to rein

The next forenoon you go and cut
Two spruce three inches through the butt;
The same forenoon you lift apart,

You foller with your legs aspiring
From straddling that confounded TONGUE;
Then round he siphons quick and heads
A-.owards the buildings barns and sheds,
Till winded by his lobster load
He stops dead still beside the road.
Your wife the whole affair has seen
Behind the buttery winder screen;
She's felt you snaked, with wifely moan,
The length of all the land you own;
II seemed to her each fearful step
Was fur Dover from Dieppe;
As in you go, she hollers, "Morse,
II you're alive, sell off that horse;"
To which you instantly reply,
That colts for sale, and so am |"
