STOPPED ANGRY WIFE'S TEARS
Wcman's Emulation Of the cinderella
Act" Probably Averted Dire
Domestic Tragedy.

Mrs. G.. started for the shoe repair
shop the other day with slipper that
needed mendlng Once in the stree
she remembered an important mes
sage and stopped TO telephone in a
little office on the ground floor Of the
building In which she lives. The pro-
prietor showed her the instrument in
the rear.
Just then the proprietor's wife en-
tered the office, and first Of all she
saw Mrs. G.'s slipper lying on table.
$50 you even have her shoes here !"
she cried and began to weep. Her
tears quickly turned to anger, and
in moment she began to upbraid her
husband.
Then Mrs. G.. interfered.
"Thats mine," she said, appearing
from behind the screen.
The angry wife looked at her dur
ing a pause in her heated language.
Il don't believe It" she snapped
"Pll show you" said Mrs. g., and,
like Cinderella. though the prince was
missing, she tried on the slipper

said that the public doesn't want art.

Had Peculiar idea Of Tree.

Bashed in the warm waters of the
Gulf stream, the climate Of the He
brides is warm rather than cold con
sidering the latitude, and there is an
average rainfall over the entire group

mounts TO over 100 inches at the coast.
In spite of this the islands are for
the greater part treeless. Hope Mon

DREW ON HIS IMAGINATION
To Put IL Mildly, LonsfelIow was Not
Always Accurate in His De-
scriptive Poems.

The poet LongfelIOw has set an ex
ample Of inaecuracy in dealing with
our Pilgrim ancestors which has been
widely followed. His charming poem.
"The Courtship of Myles Standish."
has been read by millions Of his coun-
trymen and doubtless accepted by
great numbers as gospel truth. Yet
1t has no historical basis, says writ
er in the Boston Transcript. There
is not a scintiIIa of evidence that the
fearless captain, who was small Of
stature and red-haired, but every inch
a soldier-had any desire TO win the
affections of Priscilla Mullins. He
was a very busy man during the first
years at Plymouth. And, but for his
wisdom, skill and heroic actions. there
is little doubt but what they would
have all been murdered by wild saw
ages. who were not wholly restrained
by Massasoit. 1t seems too bad that
so brave and unseIfish a man as Stan
dish was should now be paraded be-
fore his descendants as a rejected
sutton. He and they deserve better
fate.
The poet is no more accurate in
dealing with him than he Is in de-
scribing the marriage of John Alden
and Priscilla. What pretty bit of
fiction it was to place Priscilla on a
'milk-white steer" when there was
not COW, nor steer, in all New
England!

CONLEY CONCLETON IN
SLEEPING SICKNESS
Popular Young Man Victim of
Strange Malady After Abb
scess in a Tooth

ConIey Conglcton has been taker
to Louisville with what physicians say
is well defined case of sleeping sick
ness, the first, so far as known, vic
tim of this new and strange malady
from this section.
Mr.. Congleton began to suffer with
an abSceSs in O tooth some weeks ago
and consulted Il dentist. He immedi-
atey extracted the ailing molar and
Mr.. CongletOn seemed to recover nice
ly. Within few days, however, his
eycSight began to trouble him, and
he became practically blind. He con-
suited a specialist ut Lexington, who
diagnosed his ailmcnt as the result of
poison from the abscessed tooth, scat
tered over his system. Soon the young
man became sleepy and was with diff
ficulty aroused. He was Immediately
removed to Il hospital in Louisville,
where he is now being treated. He
awakcns sufficiently to take nourish-
mcnt and at such times recognizes his
wife and other relatives, who are al
most constantly at his bedside. At
ter being nourished, he relapses into
sleep and remains in a comatose CON
dtion until again aroused to be fed.
Physicians at the hospital are Said
to have told the family that the all
mcnt may affect Mr.. Congicton for
weeks or months. They really seem
at Il loss as to measures to take to
effect Il recovery, it is said the new
aud strange malady having baffied
most of the medical fraternity whcr-
ever it has made its appearance.
Mr.. Congleton is very popular
Young farmer. He moved with his
family a few years ago from this city
to Il handsome farm on the Richmond
Lexington pike, in tayette county.

old MADISON TAKES
Big STEP FORWARD
Fiscak Court Votes to Accept
State and Federal Aid For
Lexington Pike Work

The finest step forward that Mad-
son county has ever taken toward
good roads was made by the Fiscal
Court at its meeting Tuesday morn
ing when it voted to accept state and
federal aid for building a permanent
type of highway on seven miles of
the Lexington pike out of Richmond.
The state and federal road depart
mcnts will pay almost 100000 Of the
cost of building this road, while Mad
ison will have to pay but $55, 1000.
This sum will hc raised by disposing
of the $35 900 bond issue Il few years
ago for road and bridge purposes and
the remaining $4,000 out of the gen
eral fund. As the county will then
be relieved of all cost of maintenance
of the highway, i: will be seen that
the final cost to the taxpayers will be
the very smallest possible, and in re-
ality prove Il boon to them.
The vote in the Fiscal Court was
very close on the proposition, being
four to four among the magistrates
and then County Judge w. X. Price
was called upon to break the tie,
which he did, thus making the final
voting in favor of the proposition
were Magistrates Williams, Benton.
Engle and Collins. Those opposing
it were Magistrates Todd, Long, Viii
son and Million.
County Judge Price is being EARN

of highway. Judge Price rcaizcC
what Il step forward it will mean IN
every way for old Madison county and
the vast benefits that will accrue in
the future.
State Road Commissioner Joe S.
BOggS, who spent Sunday here with
his family, was very anxious to see
