RECALLS IDIOSYNCRASIES
OF KENTUCKY GENIUS

Writing to the Albany New Era,
Mrs. s. A. Davidson of Chanute.
Tenn, a relative of the late Spencer
Dabney, one of the most pronounced
characters this State ever knew, re-
calls something of his oddities and
his early life in Albany, where Dab
ney, saddicmaker, formerly had
his shop. Spence Dabney was
striking figure, a splendid-appear-
ing man and of remarkably dis
tinguished looks when his six feet
of stature were attired in his best
clothes. Mrs. Davidson writes:
The way he got to be lawyer is
good story. He was one night
playing poker with Judge Fount
Fox, Mike Owsley, Sam Boles and
John Sandidge at Russell Springs.
For a joke Owsley told Fox that
Dabney. then a very young man,
was there to be examined touching
his learning in the profession Of
Coke and Blackstone. Fox answer
ed: "Dabney, you look like a law
yer, you play poker like a lawyer
and I'll be hanged IL l don't make
you lawyer" which he did on the
spot.
Spence moved to Lebanon, where
Proctor Knott subsequently lived.
and opened a law Office. The boys
elected him Justice of the Peace
and his library was the Revised
Statutes, the Code of Practice of
Kentucky and the Farmers Alma
nae. 1t was asserted that his court
was noted for a maximum of dignity
and a minimum of learning. He
got into politics and was candi-
date for State Senator Unfortunate
ly the presiding officer of the con-
vention put the vote this way: "All
in favor of the nomination OF
Colonel Dabney will rise" That
beat him; though in majority. not
a Dabney delegate could stand on
his pins.
l don't recall a more dashing
looking man than Spencer Dabney
at his best. He would have ad-
miration, in any society. One Fourth
of July the orator of the occasion
was absent, and Spencer was called
on to fill his PLACE and make a
Democatic stump speech and he did
it capitally. The audience was
spellbound and hung on his words.
His periods were fervid and burning
and after two hours of enormous
eloquence he closed in very
rhapsody of patriotic defamation
Coming down from the stand Spen-
Ger met one of his maternal uncles
who was pretty nearly as much OF
a wag as Spencer himself.
The old man said: spence I'm
: proud of you. Your eloQuence was
splendid, your presence superb, youl
voice rich. resonant and musical
your gestures were grace itself. but
Spence. what you lack. is idees. II
idee ever strikes you, I'm damned
II you won't be a rouser."

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.
CHAPTER CCCIVII


You remember in the last story tha
little workman fairy was showing Puss
Junior all the wonders Of Fairy Land.
And please don't forget that Puss was
as small as fairy cat, FOR he had drunk
some Of the magic wine which the Fairy
Queen made from the checkerberries.
Now come with me to the lake" said
the tiny workman. And pretty soon thew
stood upon its sandy beach, which
sparkled under the rays of the after
noon sun.
And would you believe IT. The beach
was all alive with tiny figures working
In the sand, turning and twisting It
about, searching for diamonds for the
Fairy Queen.
And as Puss peeped into q dark nook.
half under a messy stone, he could see
they were painting the red spots on
the backs Of the trout, while up in the
pines on the breezy hilltop they were
singing funny song to an old crow
who was afraid to go into the cornfeId
because Of the old clothes man:
"Old Mr.. Crow. If you weren't
afraid
OF the Old Clothes Man which the
farmer has made
You'd look under the band of his
eLoVeplpe nat,
If you weren't, Mr.. Crow, such an
old 'fraid-cat"
Il wonder what Is under the scare
crows hatband" thought Puss to him
self. But he didn't say a word to the
fairy about it. No, indeed! He was
determined he'd find out for himself so
turning to the fairy workman he said !.
Il have Passed a very pleasant day
with you, Mr.. Fairy. l have seen and
learned much, and now that the sun is
sinking behind the western hills, NAV
I trouble you to show me the way to
the nearest town 2"
willingly" replied the fairy, but
first take a bite from this little blue
apple. 1t will change you into your
natural form" So Puss did as the fairy
told him, and prestol change! in a
moment Puss was his natural size.
And then the forest glowed with count
less eyes of birds and beasts, and the
air was filed with their voices. The
birds sang and cried. this owls hoOteo
the wolves barked, and the deer threw
back their great horns and gazed at Puss
with fearful eyes. The fays and elves
and fairies peeped out Of their hiding
places, and their little faces and tiny
voices wept and sObbed as they begged
to Puss to stay with them in Fairy
Land.
But little Puss Junior only shook his
head, for he knew he would never be
contented as Fairy Cat, but must
travel on through the big wide world for
more adyentures.--Copyrig 1921.
