THE DOG DAYS AND OTHERS

But wear the August flower-ths
Hoppy-and consolation will be yours.
In what part of the month were you
born? II In the first half 1t is thought
by some that you will be emotional
and 70 from one extreme to the other
in temper. You will be only a fair
student. but you will be close oh.
server and you will be witty and tell
story well and entertaingly. You
should be healthy and well built and
you should be able to accomplish any
thing that you set out to do. Should
your birthday fall in the last half Of
the month 1t is though: that in addi-
ton to all these qualities you will be
cool. collected and calm. you will haze
self confidence and you will be good
executive. You will study things
carefully and analytically and you will
be artistic. excelling either in art or
music. Yours will be sunny disposi-
ton and you will be cheerful and
optimistic.
An old weather prophecy tells US
that II the twenty-fourth of August is
fair the harvest will be a. good one
and the autumn will b. prosperous
On the whole August is lucky month
in all respects. but tradition attaches
a warning to the nineteenth. and we
are told that that is an unlucky day
for any special undertaking. so be-
ware: start Off your trip on the
eighteenth or the twentieth. but do
not tempt fate by beginning anything
on the unlucky day.

" tACOMO JOCANTE CASABlAN-
"A was a young Corsican sailor
ad. who roamed the seas with his
~ father. commander of the good
ship Orient. When the war between
the English and the French took place
at the end Of the 18th Century. young
Casabianca was MILDLY on the ship
which had been taken over into the
French service.
On the afternoon of August 1. 1873,
Lord Nelson and the British fleet at
tackled the French in the Mediter-
ranean Sea. Finally. after an exciting
attack the English boats worked their
way between the French ships and
the shore and fred on the ships from
both sides at once. .
Broadside after broadside was direct
ed against the sturdy French boat. all
without avail. until a deadly fire
wounded the captain and set fire to
the vessel at one and the same time
The flames rose and swept over the
boat. Inch by inch the sailors were
driven back. One by enc they were
forced to leave their brave captain and
jump into the waters. from whose cur
rent many were rescued by the Eng
lish.
They called for the captain to Jump.

saved. What. leave his father in this
hour Of peril? Not he. The English
and the French soldiers implored him
his father was wounded. perhaps
fatally-he should save himself. But
the boy refused to move.
Hand in hand the two-father and
son-stood on the deck while the
flames shot up from the port holes
and the deck about them caught fire.
The watching sailors from the enemy's
ships turned away in horror as the
flames swept over the boat. Then with a
mighty explosion the vessel sank, and
the blue waters of the Mediterranean
closed over the brave boy who had
guarded the ship with his dying father.
But the waters could not close over
the memory of his bravery, and the
tale Of Casabianca has been told in
song and story all over the world. A
very pretty poem has been written
about the Corsican boy in the Battle
Of Aboukir Bay. 1t begins:
1.-THE boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fled"
But why should I tell it to you
Some day you will read the poem for
yourself. and admire again the brave
spirit of the noble Corsican lad.

They ran with the kite on its string

And to the window she tripped to call

George came running In. He was

houses. a gay kite, with a long tail
trailing gracefully after It.

SHIPMENT OF fine
STEERS IS REPORTED

J. William Wagers, well known To-
cal stockman, was given credit by a
Chicago buyer for presenting three
carloads Of the finest cattle ever sent
out of Madison county Monday, when
he disposed of that amount to a pack
ing firm, which shipped the cattle d.
rect to New York. The cattle were
recently purchased from c. C. Coy
living five miles south of the city
The steers averaged 1,345 and the
price was $14.50 per hundred. The
quality is said to have been the best
yet presentd from this locality.
While there is considerable trans
ferring of steers at this time, not a
great many are reaching the market
feeders taking advantage of the I'M
usual fall grass, which is said to be
abundant. This causes the withhold
ing of a great percentage of the cat
tie for the later markets.

Kentucky and Canadian animals were

horses that were surprises. "And

RICHMOND GETS
HOSPITAL UNIT
Sixth In the State To Be E.stab-
lishedEList of Those In
Charge of the Work

With the appointment by the gov
eminent of DR.. D. F. Hume as at
tending specialist in surgery, Rich
mond sas at last complete hospital
unit, making the sixth in the state,
and will admit of local men being
treated here instead of being sent
away, as has been the case hereto
fore.
The unit since it's completion COM
prises the following: DR.. j. H. JEFF
fries, medical examiner; DR.. M. Dunn,
eye, ear, nose and throat; DR.. o. F.
Hume, special surgeon.
Besides those who are residents of
this part of the state being attended
here, others will be sent from other
localities, according to the order from
the surgeon general at Washington.
The Pattie A. Clay hospital will be
headquarters, or where the operations
will be performed, and will admit OF
more prompt attention upon the part
of the physicians and surgeons. The
work in this city during the past few
months has been attracting the at
tention of the officers of higher rank,
As we'll as the great need of a unit
here.
Richmond and Madison county have
large number of returned soldiers
who are in need of both medical and
surgical attention. Formerly it has
been necessary to send many of these
away to other unit headquarters.
Now it will be started and the work
will be started in the near future.
The official recognition of the unit,
with its establishment in Richmond,
means that all returned soldiers in
this locality will be enabled to receive
every attention at home instead of
elsewhere, and will be able to remain
at home OF at the local hospital dur
ing the time such attention is being
administered. This, it is believed, is
another step gained towards making
the p A. G.. hospital one of tn fore
most of it's kind in this part of the
country and will add to the probable
tiles of. securing more modern and
adequate facilities for treating cases
of various natures.
The other five units are at Coving-
ton, Bowling Green, Lexington, Padu-
cab and Louisville.

PATENT MEDICINE
VERY effective
Question of Legality of Sales To
Be Determined In City Police
Court

The guilt or innocence of two men
charged with violating the local op-
ton law depends upon whether they
disposed of patent medicine for
medicinal purposes. The case will be
heard in city court on Friday night.
This was one of the obstacles with
which City Judge G. Murray Smith
was confronted Monday night at a
special session, and he decided to in
vestigate in the meantime. The men
are said to have disposed of an un-
usual quantity, and number of 9TH
ers are believed to have taken over
doses, owing to their physical condi-
ton. 1t is said by the formula that
there is a 20 per cent alcohol ingre-
dent, hence the sale of the medicine,
and the unusal demand for it.
The manufacturers have commlni-
Gated with Judge Smith and have in
for medical purposes there is no vio-
lation of the law. However, the law
end Of it will be taken up and the
case tried by local men and not pat
ent medicine men, according to the
city attorney. 1t is said that large

hended by the police, charged with
