face with the attorney, where there
was a cordial handshake and a brief
interchange Of pleasantries.
Asked about the incident by the
Ledger man, the attorney laughingly
said
Il was flattered in being taken for
Billy Sunday until l saw him. Believe
me-" the attorney added, however
eloquent Billy may be, he would take
no prize at beauty show"
"But I should add" said the attor-
ney, "Billy's conclusions about being
flattered at the mistaken identity must
have been about the same as mine, for
on closely giving me the once over
can't say that his facial expression be-
trayed any feeling of pleasure that
should have been taken for him."

LOCAL ATTORNEY
IS TAKEN FOR BILLY
SUNDAY At DEPOT
Local Double For Great Evangelist Is
Found by Augusta Woman
AZ ITaln Monday
Afternoon.

An amusing story Is going the
rounds Of how Mr.. Frank p. ODonnel,
local attorney, was taken for the dis
tinguished Rev. Billy Sunday during
his brief visit to Maysville Monday
afternoon.
Walking with measured step
through the c, & o. depot looking for
his travelling companion who was to
take number with him, the attor-
ney did not notice a richly gowned
lady leave her seat, approach him, I'M
til extending her hand to him, in
deferential accents she said
81 live near Augusta, Ky. Being a
little deaf, | could hear only parts Of
your discourse. have read many of
your sermons. Henceforth shall read
them with added pleasure, after the
honor of this handshake."
Quickly sizing up the situation, that
he was taken for Billy Sunday, and
realizing that the good lady regarded
1t pleasurable honor to shake his
hand, the attorney, to use his own Ian
guage said: 81 didn't have the heart
to disillusion her mind" touching his
hat, and assuming tones somewhat
after Billys manner, the attorney
quietly added:
II trust you have profited by what
you heard this afternoon" The re.
sourceful lawyer quickly left the
waiting room, to enjoy the joke.
Laughing when telling his travel
ing companion on the outside about
the incident the lawyer was approach
ed by a man who had been standing
some distance, and who, extending his
hand to the attorney said:
Some say you are Billy Sunday |
have seen much of Billy Sunday in our
town of Portsmouth where he
preached several weeks Are you Bill
ly Sunday" he asked.
"You know Billy Sunday. What do
you say? Am Billy Sunday?" asked
the lawyer.
81 say you are not Billy Sunday
said the citizen of Portsmouth.
81 say you are correct said the
lawyer, with laugh, 81 am not Billy
Sunday"
In short while the Rev. Sunday
appeared at the depot, and elbowine
his way through the throng which sur
rounded him, evidently told the famed
preacher of the mistaken identity. ant
slipping his elbow through that of the
eminent divine, brought him face tC

ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN
NOW DRINK PURE water
City School Head Issues Announce
ment That ALI Students are Now
Protected From Polluted Water.

Superintendent w. J. Caplinger, Of
the Maysville City Schools, has issued
this statement to the patrons Of the
schools:
The pupils of the High School build
ing are now drinking distilled water.
Through the kindness Of the Traxel-
Glascock Company, near the First Dis
trict building; w. Holton Key, at the
Forest avenue building, and the
Cochrans at the Sixth Ward buildings,
the children of those buildings have
been drinking we'll water that was
tested by the State Laboratory and
found pure.
AS there was no pure water in the
vicinity of High school building, the
Board was either compelled to sup
ply the children with distilled water
or else let them drink the river water.
DR.. Quigley, chairman Of the Santa
ton Committee, brought the matter
before the board several months ago,
that children should not be compelled
to drink river water, as number of
parents took every precaution to see
that their children drank pure water
in their names. DR.. Quigley and his
committee were authorized by the
Board to investigate and install prop
er outfit for supplying the children
pure water, which they have done as
above stated.
1t is the belief of the Board that
even thouh the plant completely in
stalled will cost about $1,000, yet
should it prevent one case of typhoid
fever the money has been we'll spent
People are realizing more and more
that preventive measures are much
better than remedial ones.

New York, Dec 10. That Fritz
Kreisler, world famous violinist, may
emulate Ignace Paderewski, noted
pianist, in entering international
diplomatic affairs, is reported here.
Kreisler is now being talked of as the
new ambassador from Austria to the
United States. Paderewsk1, it will be
remembered, left his beloved plano to
become premier of Poland.
Kreisler has just returned to the
United States from a record breaking
tour of Europe. His first effort must

authorship of an article in THE Men

that music is becoming one of the
recognized medicines.

Following are some interesting
things about music from Kreislers

His musica1ly trained ear enabled
him to tell with astonishing accuracy
