NO INSURANCE ON HAPPINESS
LIoyds Refuses to Take the Risk That Seems to Be Involved In h.
 ternationaI Marriages.

About the only thing the Lloyds will not insure is happiness to follow an international marriage. While some American women who welded repre- sentatives of the nobility of the old world found happiness, a vastly larger number found failure to be their DOT tion. The honeymoon trail of these internationalists shows many ship wrecks. As a rule the representative of the nobility seeks a mate among the wealthy who have unsatfsfied so- cial ambitions. Given these condi- tions, the chance for presentation at court, the glamour of title, the ex- clusiveness of social relations with the titled great, cause many a young woman to forget prudence and have made many fathers and mothers will ing to approve heavy bet on slim chance.
 The long string of women who have come back across the Atlantic broken hearted and slim of purse since Nell lie Grant made her unhappy alliance has taught little wisdom to those who are courted by the titled but ofttimes penniless nobility.-Ohio State Jour- nal.

Supt. J. 10. Oursler Of the Carnegie Steel company has established cost price store for his 12,500 workmen, thus circumventing the local profteer.
 One of the local profiteers asked Mir. Oursler if he would not shut up the cost-price store, as it was interfering with the other stores profits, but Mir. Oursler answered.:
 "Will shut up our cost-price store, eh? We'll, that is about the naivest question I ever heard. Yes, it's as naive a question as the young farmers" ''The young farmer'sf' said the prof. iteer.

War Disability.

Although Modern Medicine credits medical science with having accom- plished wonders during the late war in eradicating or reducing diseases that have previously ravaged fighting armies, it maintains that disabilities, resulting from the war are due in more cases to disease than to wounds. Fig ures compiled by the English ministry of pensions show that of all the pen sions granted down to September l, 1918, 5S per cent were on account of disease. Tuberculosis and chest com plaints were responsible for 11.2 per cent, rheumatism for 6.5 per cent and heart disease for 99 per cent. Only incomplete figures are available con- corning American experience, but of 7,710 cases dealt with by the federal board of vocation up to January 31, 1919, by far the greater portion were due to disease.-Youth's Companion.

DUEL!ST HAS A
CHANCE TO RECOVER

A most extraordinary operation, or
tended one at that, at the Berea hos
pital, Berca, may save the life of
Mount Puwival, shot Sunday morning
by Tom AlcOrn at The latters home
during Il gun battle, and the charge
against AlcOrn, which was to have
been murder, may be changed. There
was an affidavit filed in order to fol-
low leGal process charging him with
shooting with intent to kill. However,
there may be Il change in this when
the developments in the condition of
Purcival warrant Reports from the
scene of the shooting p-ove to be as
stated in these columns Monday, AL
corn making the statement that he
fired only to save his mother, us well
as himself. He remains in jail, not
having made any attempt to- give
bond, but seemed to be pleased upon
being informed that, contrary to ex-
pectation, Purcival was not dead, and
that there was a chance for his re-
covery.
The latter still has the bulk of
two loads of heavy buckshot in his
right breast and shoulder, and the
wonder is that he is still alive, but
the physicians and surgeons at the
hospital are working diligentlyto to save
his life. Nothing has been heard from
the wife of Alcorn, who, it is said,
was the indirect cause of the shoot
ing.

RUST DISCOVERED
ON NEARBY TRACT

Il. NJ. Boen, who has considerable
tobacco planted in Rosedale Park, has
reported the appearance of the rust
or blight on his place and declares he
is already loser to the extent Of
$4,000, and AYERS there is much to-
bacco affected in spots in Madison
county. This is the first direct instance
of this character in Madison county,
other patches of the weed showing as
healthy ana s-aIwal. growth as any
to be found in this part of the state.
In fact, one large tract almost within
the city limits and number of small
er ones inside the corporation lines,
are ready to be topped and this work
will be started probably yet this
week. 1t is hoped the rust will not
appear here SO extensively as I some
other places, since there never was
as much banked upon the tobacco
crop, it is claimed, in Madison county
as this year, taking into consideration
tn efact that as high as $1.40 per
hour was paid by some. for the set
ting oqt of plants alone.

COURT DAY
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
SteEdy Demand For All Livestock
Which Brought Fair Prices
-Auctiuneers Busy

Court day proved more succc ssful
than anticipated, since there was Il
steady demand for work mules, Us
well as horses, many being sold at
fair prices after the sales got under
way shortly before noon. There was
decided reluctance OF bidders from
some unknown reason until the. day
was one third gone Milk cows, stock
ers and feeders sold regularly at
good prices. Some cattle sold as low
as 8 cents per pound, while most of
the stockcrs brought . and 10 cents
Col. Robert Walker experienced
one of the busiest days of his life, ac-
cOrding to his reports, since his sales
contained everything in the livestock
line from little pigs to the biggest
mules seen on the local streets this
year. The latter sold at fairly good
prices, auctioncers state. The ami
mails, mules especially, brought about
500 to $125 apiece, and many teams
were sold, one man purchasing H.,
picking them out of the herd from
here and there, mating them up, and
is preparing to take them to Detroit,
where, he asserted, good mules were
at premium.
c. G. Hisle accompanied Robert
Benedict, of Boyle county, who
brought more than score of mules
and several horses. Mr.. Hisle sold
every one during the day, averaging
. little better than 500 per head. A
number of buggies and old-time car
riages, together with household
goods, were included in the sales of
ths day, and there were good prices
paid for al. Miscellaneous sales were
surprising, saddles, single and double
cts OF harness bringing almost as
much as new ones. There was d de-
mand for this character of stuff, and
much of it was sold. All in all, the
day was good one for all concerned,
apparently, since it is said that there
was much more stock and money
changed hands than was looked for,
owing to the proximity of the harvest
season. Many of the mules, it is said,
will be taken south. There has been a
big demand both in Texas and Mexico
for the brand of mules handled in
this part of the state.
