KENTUCKY IS PRAISED
BY GEN. SUNNI RALL
Chief of Staff Lauds State in
Addressing Capital
Society.

The traditions and heritage of Ken
lucky, its early association with Vir-
ginia and it's proud place among the
States of the Union were eXtolled last
night by Maj. Gen. Charles P. Sum
neral, chief of staff, who addressed
members of the Kentucky Society at
the Willard Hotel.
Kentucky has the distinction of
having furnished to the Civil War
more men, in proportion to its popu-
lation and the duration of the strug-
gle, than were ever furnished by any
Commonwealth in any modern war, -
Gen. Summerall stated.
The obligations of citizenship were
stressed by Gen. Summeral, in con-
Guiding his speech, by referring to
the purpose of the Constitution, as
follows: 1.-THE purposes of that foun-
dation are to form q more perfect
union, to establish justice, to promote
the general welfare, to insure domes-
tic tranquility, to provide for the
common defense and to secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and
to our posterity.'
Gen. Summerall said that the mill
tary peace establishment of the United
States is proportionately the smallest
by two and half times among the
leading nations of the world.
Mrs. Maurice II. Thatcher, president
of the society, presided. A program
of violin solos was rendered by Miss
Elsa Raynor, and dancing followed.
Senator Barley of Kentucky will adj
dress the next meeting, on February
%, while Representative Clifton A.
Woodrum of Virginia will sing.
Among those present were Repre-
sentative M. Fl. Thatcher of Ken
lucky. Senator and Mrs. F. M. Sack
EFT, Representative and Mrs. Ralph
Gilbert, Admiral and Mrs. J. s. Car
penter, Maj. and Mrs. A. w. Gullion
and Richard Yates, former Governor
of Illinois.

The Humoriist.

A painted signboard points the way
to Greater Tamarack, that passing
strangers may not stray from or the
proper track. The village jester
comes along, with kindred souls in
train; they leave that signboard point
ing wrong, their record to maintain.
Oh, it will make a splendid yarn,
when evening lights are burned. how
men were lost in gulch and tarn, be
cause that sign was turned. There
comes a stranger in his boat, an old
and creaking Liz. and you can
scarcely fail to note how tired and
worn he is. His car is full of groan-
ing aunts. a grandsire and guest
and as he drives he signs and pants
for Tamarack and rest. He sees the
sign and to the right he turns his
clanking car. and as he turns the
shades of night are falling, near and
far He drives about a thousand miles
through vistas gray and dim, along
the fragrant woodland aisles and by
the caverns grim. He looks around
for village lights but none does he be-
hold; the rain is coming from the
heights, the night is bleak and cold
He drives about a thousand versts,
and he's distraught and sore; spark
plug fails, a casing bursts, the bus
will go no more. All night they
SILVER in the rain, each one a CHASTITY
wreck; the guest is hot, the aunts
complain, the era ndsire raises heck.
The sdriver was a moral swain before
this thing befell, but now he hands
out words profane, too fierce to hear
or smell He was a law-abiding man,
a man of noble deeds; but now the nj
hilistic plan seems what his spirit
needs. A worthy man is ruined thus
that skates may have their fun, and
so we leave him by his bus, the bu~
that will not run. How sinful is thu
cut-up's jest that sends good men
astray, that robs pilgrim Of his
rest, a grandsire of his hay!
