ten-days' stay for the benefit of his
health, Mr.. Robert S. Porter, popular
newspaper man, was called by an ur-
gent message to the office of the Leg

air of mystery about the place, and
asked for an explanation.
Several prominent Paris business
men, including A. j. Fee, Chas. p.
Mann, Secretary w. E. Hacker, /. w.
Bush, and others, were assembled in
the office. They were as solemn as
a meeting of the KuKlux clan.
Finally, after allowing Mr.. Porter to
remain in a state of wonderment for
a few moments, Mr. Bush stepped
forward, and on behalf of the assem-
bled guests, presented Mr.. Porter
with beautiful cluster diamond pin
(retail price, ten cents, at the Kress
Storey in token of their appreciation
of his worth, and as an expression
of their love. Although overcome
by emotion, Mr.. Porter made a short
speech accepting the magnificent
gift, and is now sporting it on his
manly bosom.

Hughes foundation and is
therefore under State and Federal in
spection. The library and equipment
are being improved.
The Paris High School will pass
the three hundred mark this year and
will be one of the largest High
Schools in Kentucky. The organiza-
ton of the school was thoroughly
worked out before school opened, 80
from the start all class work has been
going perfectly.

BOY SCOUTS ON ALL-DAY HIKE.

Headed by ScOutmaster J. c. Scott,
member of the Paris High School
faculty, and carrying with them COM
plete camp equipment, about twenty
Boy Scouts of Paris went on an all
day hike" Saturday, taking in the
territory Immediately adjacent 20
Paris, from the North Middletown
pike, to Maple Island, in Stoner
Creek, a distance of about six miles.
Upon arrival at the Island the boys
set up their tents, and made camp
like old veterans. They prepared
their meals, and conducted the entire
affair with the ease of experienced
campaigners, returning to Paris lare
Saturday night. Besides their regu-
lation camp equipage each Scout
carried compass, Ratchet, pike staff,
and blanket roll.
A Paris man who has been with a
camping party near the scene of the
Boy Scouts hiking place told good
one on them. 1t seems that an order
of the day was to search out a party
of Scouts and trail them from one
place to another. The leaders had
marked their trail by dropping grains
of white corn at close intervals. The
crackers did all right until they came
to big tree in the center of an open
field, where the trail vanished. Baf-
fled, they returned and reported to
Scoutmaster Scott the loss of the
trail. An investigation disclosed the
fact that the tree under which the
trail vanished was populated by
large colony of turkeys, which had
gobbled up the corn as fast as it had
been laid, consequently the trail was
"a blind one' for the Scouts.

"The letters stand for Louisville.

town pike, on to Cynthiana, and then
into Cincinnati.

Trail from Louisville into Lexington,

Paris, making the turn into Eighth
street at Main, then out the route in
