WINGED of only one thing-that|
something hit his party an awful
wallop.
What Kentucky needs is more
conservation of trees with mer-
charitable timber betwixt their tops
and roots, and less Boosting about
family trees" which haven't the
value of paw-paw bushes.
Some Paris men we know seem to
have the idea that Cooperation"
means everyone else working for
them. Their part of the "co-ope-
ration" consists in grabbing of all
the glory while the others do the
real work.
A Paris man said of another re-
Gently: ''That guy is so blamed
conceited that he gives the impress
sion that it was a special act Of
condescension for him to permit the
Lord to create an earth that was not
fully occupied by him and his fam

Pity the little centipede.
Who has a hundred toes,
And often wonders which
Is just the one that froze.
And sometimes when he freezes all,
1t is some job, 1 ween
To massage each and every toe
With soothing vaseline.
How strange a thing is memory
This very day upon the street
A hundred faces looked on me,

Yet in this hour of twilight grace
No sight, no sound of this bright

tails with cherries in them were
served in "the best families" and

man who would make the assertion
that there is no money in dairy
farming.
The Days Best Thought: The
old phrase, ''To know all is to for
give ALL" is very true 1t is only
surface knowledge that leads to bit
terness and abuse. To get down into
the realities of any life is almost
surely to find it a life in which
some radical beauty and truth has
redeemed the seeming failure.
When a man who didn't go to
war reads about Alvin York OF
Samuel Woodfill he has a misera-
BILE time trying to convince himself
that there were reasons why he
could not go to the war. and that
restraining his military ardor was
in the circumstances, as heroic as
charging a nest of machine guns
when armed with a bread knife.
The colored minister of Cat
lettsburg church astounded the
the members Of his congregation re-
Gently when he arose in the pulpit
and made the following announce
ment: "The subject of my sermon
tonight will be. The Lord Sent Me
To Preach The Gospel. And I'll Be
Damned II I Don't Do IT," On re-
lection the title is all right, and
means just what it says. with no

1t happened in the local telephone
office the other night. Two Paris
boys whom we will call Dick and
Jack for the purpose of the item.
but whose real names do not mat
ter, were holding conversation.
Dick said to Jack: Cant you come
over tonight" Jack, answering
Dick, said: ooh, can't. I'm wash
