1008 GREAT REVIVAL Mr Lyon Dolnc Wonders In Baroa Audience Keeps Growing A Sim ple and Powerful Speaker Berca Is having one of the host revivals over known here and certainly the bust since that conducted by Dr Thomson several years ago The Rev Milford JI Lyon who Ms conducting the meetings has shown himself a wan of unusual power and possessed of tho Spirit of God and a groat work Is being done Then have been many more than tho usual number of conversions and there Is every likelihood that tho series will bo long remembered for tho good they have done Mr Lyon IB rather different from tho J usual revivalist Ho Is free and easy In the pulpit and says tout ho wants tbo meetings to bo pjrfectly Informal Ills sermons are full of short and snappy sayings and truths put in new ways and ho holds his audience all Uio time Ills sincerity Is always evident and has much to do w ills his success and ho has a plain and homely way of putting things which makes them clear to every one If you have not been to the meetings go to those that are Ittt as you will lose what you can never make up If you miss them POINTERS FOR SALVATION Some of the Beat of the many Good Things Mr Lyon Has Said at tho Revival Here A human soul Is the most valuable treasure on this earth and Just In proportion as a man grasps that fact will be his effort In saving souls Gold Is the God of more people than Is Jesus Christ Many people are more Interested in making a lltlng than they are in making a life Tho angels rejoice BO greatly over the saving ur1 soul became they knew what It means tor a soul to be lout and what It moans to be saved to oterIUIIeomo down from all tho joys of heaven and die for ui It is worth our while to live for Him Dont lot the thlnip you dont believe keep you from believing

Jesus Christ Waiting for feeling Is like taking an ax and going out in the woods and sitting down on a log find walt ing for a sweat If tho religion of Christ appeals to your reason accept It and then when you know that Christ Is your Savior the feeling will Como And then Christian service will give feeling It will get better and bettor all the v way When you become a Christian you dont have to hold out You hold on and God will hold out God Just gives you enough grace every dny and Ha always gives It You havo to live either with Christ or without him Youve got your bur dens any how antI the

mountain people of this state have been criticised and despised by the other sections of the state as lawless mountaineersIIfeudists and the whole region has been abused slandered and looked down on because of the doings ofa very few News papers and politicians have often held them up to ridi cule as a bad lotandas all in the same class without making any distinction between the lawless and the rest of the mountaineers Now other sections df the state are having troubles Thru the tobacco raising districts night riders are burning lootingand sometime killing A few years ago the bluegrass was terrorized by tollgate raid ers These men have been showing fully as much law lessness as has ever been known in the mountains If anything they arc worse than the feudists for they arc hurting innocent men and destroying property over a money matter while the mountaineers have always fought over personal grievances It is to be hoped that the Blue Grass and the Bear Grass will now stop their holierthanthou attitude to ward the mountains Surely now no one can say that they are better than the rest of the state or boast of good order while attacking the mountains r55Tho this s a great state and there arc a thousand reasons for being proud of her the lawlessness and dis order arc disgraces to us altand now that so many parts of the state arc on the same basis we ought to stop calling each other names and get together to end the lawlessness Whenever there is lawlessness in a place there is cowardice there There are only a few bad men in a com munity only a few that shoot or fight or burn and they would not carry on if the rest did not let them All kinds of lawlessness can be stopped if the peaceful men of any place will show a little nerve If they would even stop dealing with bad men and being friendly with the fellows that are ruining the country those fellows would scon stop their devilment even without any law So of ten the men are scared and do nothing Sometimes they say that they do not want toflaw a neighbor and tinny forget that in not stopping his mischief they are hurting everybody This is an editorial for every man Every com munity js in danger of an attackof some kind of law lessness and of the disgrace which follows And every man can help in the cure which is to let it be known that the best men are against it andwill turn against any man that does itand will not treat such men as friends So let each man do his share and in ashort time Kentucky will be rid of this black stain on her name 1 rand this disgrace to her sos KILL KING AND PRINCE Revolutionists In Portugal Shoot them Down in Street Boy Takes Fathers Place and DAngors Ono of those crimes which shook tho world was committed last Saturday In the assassination of tho King of Portugal and his oldest son Time killing was done by men who are supposed to have been hired by tho Kings political enemies and will OvernjmentPortugal has a constitution and leg islature but tho people have shown little political wisdom and a few men have managed to get the votes and use tho government to enrich themselves They have had of late years tho aid ot the Roman Catholic Church because the king was good enough to stop some of the bad methods of tho church Recently a good man named Franco was made premier by tho king lie dissolved tho corrupt parliament and tried to clean up the government The thieves ho throw out were of course angry and they set up a yell that the poo plo were being deprived of their liberties which got a good many unthinking peoplo to help them There has been talk of a revolution for some time and now this murder comes Tho now King Manuel IT Is only nineteen and is evidently afraid to go on as his father was doing JIll pother too Is much under the In flucnco of the priests so it Is likely that ho will make peace with tho thieves Ho has already dismissed Franco MERCHANTSITHANKS TO The men In charge of the revival services have asked Tho Citizen to express their appreciation of the hearty cooperation of tho business men ot Berea and of their willingness to assist in tho observance of tho midweek Sabbath There has been no opposition shown by

tobacco war goes on with more and more disorder Several barns have been burned during tho last week and there seems to be no way to stop tho disgrace Tho Society of Equity has scored a few points in the sale of a part of Its tobacco and there seems no doubt that there will bo very little tobacco planted this year The American Tobacco Company has been Indicted in Frankfort for a violation of the antitrust laws and has also come out with a statement to show that It is not responsible for the trouble It declares that most of tho disorder has come in thoso sections where It buys little and that where it buys most there has been little trouble RAID BLIND TIGER Masked men raided and destroyed n blind tiger In Trlgg County on Saturday and poured out a good deal of liquor This is about as good a

most thrIlling ever sent out from the White House and the formal begin ning of the campaign of Gov Hushes of New York for the Presidential nomination Tho Presidents message is given In more detail

con ditions Even it there is a money loss ho says there must bo honesty Ills putting the question of the day on this high plane has made clear tho way for a sharp division of the party along the lines

Helena as she en tend Her jeweled fingers touched her hair lightly her pose suggested the languid indifference of a woman Of the world who awaits the entrance ot a caller Mercy and tenderness and womanly pity were denied this beautl ful animal at her birth Or these divine qualities had been fiercely cinched by fanatic zeal r paced to and fro in an agony of rage and pity and this Medusa followed my every movement with hoi cruel mocking smile The woman whom I had hoped to nave from suffering yes the woman I loved was coming to this chamber ot horror She was coming radiant with hope Happiness awaited her the thought the caresses of a loved brother repentant of his momentary folly And perhaps her heart was boating high with gratitude to moto the man who she thought had made this much wlshedfor reconciliation possible mack despair awaited her In the ilttle oratory yonder She was to be tortured with a dilemma as cruel as ever racked the heart ot woman But her decision I could not doubt I had a proud faith In this lady who had soot me Into the lists to fight for her When first I had seen her on the terrace of the hotel at LucerneIt seemed ages ago instead of daysI remembered how her clear gaze had thrilled me The calm unwavering look of her gray eyes was truth Itself t had thought A lie was not possible for her not even a lie to be spoken by another for her sake nut with what abhorrence would aho regard mol Had I not been drawn la the subtle web of this Circes net the dilemma at least would not exist for her Out if the dilemma did not exist Sir Mortimers dishonor would still bo a terrible reality After nil the curtain had not fallen yet Helena and I wero both puppets in the hands ot capricious Fortune It was she 4who held the balances or rather n God whose wheels may turn slowly but sooner or later He sees that Justice Is done- I had left the door slightly ajar It was pushed open with a brusque sud deans that startlpd The servant must haw known the tragedy that awaited tkp woman ho was conducting here With a Frenchmans love of the dramatic hit ushered her in with pompous cotinony and stood waiting expectantly As I closed the door roughly on fclm Helena saw me Madame de Varnler seated In the shadow she bad not yet seen- I scanned bar face closely I saw that not hope nor the expectancy of a happy meeting with her brother was tier dominant emotion Eager she was but it was the eagerness of anx ety and not of hope Her quiet as curance came from courage and self control Her brother had disappeared mysteriously Captain Forbes had been the victim of a trick she had put her faith In one who was almost a stran ger to her and now she had ventured to the chateau alone Even a man might have hesitated But when I stood before her I was touched to see how she leaned on mo who had twice failed her My brother she whispered Once before she had wrung from mo the bitter truth Now as then a certain courage camp from her pres ence Her own scorn of weakness and subterfuge supported me I answered tier simply as I knew she would have me answerthe direct stern truth Your brother Is dead Miss Brett There followed a silence so Intense that 1 could hear quite distinctly the river Aaro beating against the chateau walls With the carious irrelevance that comes so often In moments ol tense anxiety I thought It strange that Captain Forbes bad not given some sign of his presence In his prison dur ing the past halt hour Helena leaned toward me frowning slightly as if in perplexity Dead did you sayT Not dead I repeated the words unconsciously I spoke a little louder The scene cccmed unreal theatric Again the irrelovant thought intruded how when a boy I used to wonder If all the things that had hitherto happened In my lifeall my existence were not one long dream a dream from which I should awake presently to find myself living a life utterly different lilt seems sir she faltered that your mission is always to bring bad tidings It was only the other day you told trie that the man who loved me had died Now It Is to tell mo that the brother I loved so much Is dead Site smiled pitifully a curiously twisted smile that expressed her suf feting more than any tears No reproaches could have troubled me as did that pathetic smile I turned ab raptly to Madame do Varnlcr whom she bad not yet seen My vase and pity overcome my reason I might havo appealed to a heathen Idol sitting In grotesque majesty in Its temple of gloom with as little effect You are a woman You must have a womans heart you must feel aeae I l tenderness for others In their griet You havo told mo that your life has been ono of suffering then have mercy for this girl who Is suffering You will not torturo her further You will leave to her the only comfort that remains for her the proud memory of a brother who served his country with honorIt is for you to do that monsiour She spoke with assumed Indifference fingering the cross that hung from her nock Mr Haddon said Helena proudly you will make no appeal to Madame de Varnlcr to spare mo from suffering Where lq my brother I suppose that there is no one here who will deny me my right to see him The two women faced each other Death is sometimes not thu worst calamity that may befall one madam At these ominous words Helena turned to me with a gesture of pain Her courage faltered though she fought for her control before the wom an whom she bated so bitterly Death Is not the worst calamity She repeated the words slowly as If seeking their hidden meaning 4th this Infamous woman who dragged down my brother to disgrace when ho lived will not spare even his memory She threatens to make his shame even more public than It is Your champion has it In his power t iiiiito prevent that suggested Madam do Varnler softly Helena turned on her with horror It Is Incredible that you thoul make traffic of a mans love To mo the love of a man like Sir Mortimer Brett would teen a glory nut a disgrace returned tile adventuress calmly But there was no love between Sir Mortimer Bret and myself in the souse you mean Whatever feeling your brother had for me was controlled Yes and I tempted him In that regard his honor Is stain lessMotionless looked into the oth ers eyes And yet you said there is a calam- Ity worse than death Helena quei Honed torn between hope and fear And I say It again Dishonor is worse than death Helena turned to me dazed and ap pealing a trembling drawn slow ly across her forehead You are silent What do those cr traordlnary words mean IhesitatedIt this woman saysbut it Is Do not believe her I cried desperately at length He has not the courage to tell the truth cried Madame de Vamicr walking slowly toward Helena who shrank Your brother is known to be guilty of taking bribes You are right not to believe that Mr Haddon she said scornfully and sighed her relief There arc proofs to convince the skeptical even you Insisted her tcrmeiuor with savage emphasis What you say impossible Where Is my brother Mr Hnddon I pointed silently to the oratory Helena turned to go thither but Madame de Varnlcr burred her ea I trance J Ah Guar afraid she cried standing at the door of the oratory with extended arms You date not face tho truth Listen madam the proofs of your brothers guilt are not Imaginary They exist in ifs own writing Not ono signature which may bo forged there are wholo pages You listen now you will tremble before I have finished At present there Is no one who has seen these proofs except myself But dare to doubt me to Ignore these proofs and they shall be for tho wholo world to read Do you hear I say for tho whole world and Russia would give me any svm tt choso to ask for those papers Do voa hate mo so much and scorn me so bitterly that you prefer to see your brothers namo held up as a byword for Eu ropes contempt You disdain to think It possible that my charge be true Then what you to fear There is no one who can more surely Identify your brothers writing than yourself Which will you choose It is for you to say Will you consent to see these papers now or am I to sell them to tho embassies of Russia or Austria Tho two women measured other In a long silence I watched the duel tho open window where I stood M4dame do Varnicrs threat was a tcfrlblo ono It was tho fierce pleading of a desperate and unscrupu Ions ndvoiturcss striving frantically to move tho ofty of a sister In a brothers icctltuilo and honor I had faith In tho courage and nobility ot soul of Helena I believed that she would taco shame and unhappiness with resolution But I could not wonder that Madame de Varnicrs menace made her hesitate Tho seconds passed and still they faced each other In silence That long silence seemed to me ominous I suffered with Helena In the anguish of her decision To yield would bo to doubt But If she refused to yield to doubt And If this woman spoke tho truth and made good her throat For herself she would endure everything rather than I Your Brother Is Dead Miss Brett havo each hand false back most Is have each from trust calm slow compromise with this betrayer of mens honor But there was the mother to be thought of She had decided She raised her handa slowly in a gesture that pathet ically showed ner submission Madame do Varaler had conqueredso far Do not think I doubt because 1 consent She turned to where I stftod But if this woman is sincere and be lieves that these proofs exist others will believe It too There Is no forgery so clover that I should not de tect it My brothers handwriting was peculiar Ills honor must not bo ques tloned because of a clever trick Come I will see those papers Madame de Varnler glided across the bare room and struck the heavy door of the little chamber she had already pointed out to me as contain ing the safe Tp my surprise tho door had not been locked It opened yon derously and I saw tho gleam of the safe She stood at tho doorway and beckoned to Helena Come madam or are you afraid to trust yourself In the room alone with me Has Mr Haddon already uton these papers that he Is not to como Mr Haddon has seen copies of the original papers In the sao returned Madame de Varnler In tMumpb He was feo convinced of your brothers guilt that ho destroyed these copies You will not bo surprised then If Ire fuse to trust him with the precious originalsI io expostulation I knew thu uselessness of that and we I had agreed that Helena was to decide for herself I had faith enough la her not to doubt her ultimate decision I will see these papers with you alone said Helena quietly And yon will Rive me your word of honor that you will act follow the ex t t ample of Mr HadOon ra atutapung destroy tbemT IIGI My word of honor cried with bitterness Would you believe that If you think my brother guilty of dishonorI bollevo it answered Madame do Varnldr Then I give it to you She walked to tho room with a firm step passing mo where I stood tone bravo I whlspefdtIne on your guard Refuse to believe that your brother Is guilty no matter what specious proofs this woman may show you It is simply Impossible that he bo gnlltr Why do you say thlltr Her eyes were very wistful Because I looked at her steadily I know how Impossible it would be for tho sister Your faith strengthens mine She entered the room passing by Madame do Varnler at the threshold An rovolr M Coward tho woman cried tauntingly and the key turned in the door CHAPTER XXVIII Cowardl- I heart n clock In the village strike tho hour It was six Tho chateau walls cast n long shadow on tho opposite bank of the river Tho mountains in the far distance were purple antS red In tho evening light The long day was coming owlftly to an end and the night was mysterious with Its promise of despair This tower of the three rooms Two of these rooms held their tragedies What If tho third room bad Its tragedy likewise I struck sharply the door of that room In which Madame do Varnlei had said that Captain Forbes was Im prisoned I listened there was no answer I called the name of the kings messenger aloud still there was no answer Soon the moon would rise and its cold rays might fan on tho lifeless body of Forbes for if all wore well why should there be this ominbus quiet Tbo suspense was unendurable I listened at tho door of the room that concealed the two women I beard the murmcr of voices That rcarisurod mo so far as Helenas safety was con cerned but It made mo absolutely certain that Captain Forbes must have hoard my voice If he wore living and In that room And when the two women came out I shrank from that coming with dread I had told Helena to bo bravo to Ignore the evidence of her own sight But I had Itcou shaken in my own belief as to Sir Mortimers Innocence Surely her faith would be greater than mine but the evidence seemed so overwhelmingly against Sir Mortimer If Sir Mortimers letters and notes were genuine At any ratt the woman I loved must hold a hitter cup to her blanched lips It mast be emptied to tho very dregs Her suffer Ing was Inevitable whether site be lieved her brother Innocent or guilty I could not doubt that she would refuse to purchase tho silence of Madame de Varnlcr at the cost of further dishonor even though I were chiefly to bear that myself But If she demanded that Waa I strong enough to resist her tears I must bo My reason told me of the folly of Madame do Varnlcra plan But If I yielded weakly presently and tho ruse actually succcodcd J knew that the hypocrisy of the act would become moro and more dreadful to Helena with the coming years No If In that supremo ccstucy of her agony shp should entreat me I must still refuse I must decide for her even though she thought my own cowardice to sponslblo for that refusal Coward I How that word beat a devlln tattoo on my excited brain II had Leon tho keynote to all my suffer ing and to all my Joy Willoughby had died uttering it Helena had echoed it in thought and Madame dt Varnler had spoken It again and again her fierce contempt during the past hour Yes It was tho keynote of m suffering and my joy It was the motif tbat obtruded again and again la tho stormy music of these past hours It was a baneful talisman a watchword Its letters seemed to hava Al most a magic potency It was a coom tersign that opened for mo the gala of paradise and hell A tallsmant A Watchword I A coun tersign Suddenly I saw the word COWARD written In flaming letters They revolved furiously The danced before my vision Thltf was sheer madness this la poslblc conjecture I reasoned the un reasoning Impulse to bone agalna hope But the forlorn desperate pea slblllty fought obstinately for rccog nltlon It held mo with all tho dams Ing power ota halluclnatlM And then suddenly it became a con vlctlon It was no

plow especially adapted for digging tiling sower ditches or draining ditches The do vice Is of very simple construction and capable of effective service in any character of soil It Is especially adapted to be drawn by a Unction en glne or capstan says Scientific Amer- Ican As shown In the engraving It comprises a beam A which extends forward and with an upward Inclina lion from tho cleancV II The latter is triangular In shape being provided with two diverging wings The purpose of tho cleaner Is to travel over the surface of the ground and remove the excavated material from the edges of the ditch Tho beam A la hinged to tho cleaner so as to provide for a certain amount of vertical motion He low the bean and forming an anglo therewith Is a blade C provided with a cutting edge at Us lower end which The Plow In Use nerves to enter the earth more or leas deeply ns tho plow In drawn forward and carry the excavated material tc the surface At Us forward end this blade Is braced by menus of a support D which is fasted to the beam A At the forward end of tho Loam A IB a elevls bar K which Is secured at Itt upper ond to draft bar F extending to tho rear of the beam A In this devil bar are a series of apertures adapted to receive a link to which s pulley block Is connected Thy block carves to receive the cable that Is poi cd to the wlndlaM or dram of the traction engine for the punKM ol

conclusion Is rcachcu that it U Impossible to make an esti mate In the report the cost of power machinery for plowing ana cultivating small farms IB said to be prohibitive but whore farmers owning large areas can corporate anti buy a steam plow this Is declared to be a matter of economy LOW BARN FLOOR TRUCK Will Prove Convenient for Moving Heavy Barrels Boxes Etc A hand truck for UHO on the barn floor where heavy barrels and boxes demand occasional movement can bo made after the method shown in tho accompanying illustration This plan consist of nothing more than taking two 4x4s about two feet long and connecting them by mortising In two 3x3s and ad Dusting castors to each of tho four corners Any ono who adopts such a plan says the Prairie Farmer will find that It Is a good convenient article Use a Line Tho first rows of the garden should always bo laid out by a lino to make thorn perfectly straight and If a hand drill U not used a gOlden marker with three pr four logs Is very convenient lr jqsslhjo the rows should not run north and south because it admits of the suns rays better on both sides of the small plants t I f FREEZING OF WELLS Reason Why the Deep Ones Cause More Trouble Than Shallow Ones Throughout pof tho northern states the freezing of wells and pumps causes much trouble and the greatest difficulty is experienced In keeping some of the wells open for use during tho winter Strangely enough the shallow open wells give lose trouble than the deeper drilled or doublet tubed driven wells In which tlio Inner or pump tube Is carried below the outer casing Tho determination of tho cause of the freezing and of moans for Its prevention Is of so great practical Importance that a study of the subject has been made by ono of the geologists of tho United States geolog ical survey The freezing of wells Is practically confined to districts where too air tem peratures frequently go considerably below zero and where the material penetrated aro either porous or con talc actual openings and passages through which tho air can circulate A recent Investigation of tho well of Maine n largo number of which are In granite slates and other compact close grained rocks discovered no In stances of deep freezing In DUnne Iota North Dakota and Nebraska on tho other hand largo numbers of wells penetrating porous deposits or cav ernouir limestones freeze every winter In Wisconsin and Michigan freezing though less common occa atonally occur and also In Iowa Mia 4 Dourl Kentucky and Indiana 1 Many of the simpler devices adopted to prevent freezing are complete fail urns while others aro partially sue coastal The Inherent difficulty lies In tho construction of tho well The following suggestions are mode by the geologist In open wells whore air obtains ac eelS through the soil and at the Jane tion of curb and cover n cement cover should bo tightly fitted to tilt aunt and the curb itself should be epatod with cement for some distance below thu surface In drilled or doubletubed driven wells time current of cold air drawn In it periods of high barometer between tho outor and Inuor casing near the surface and passing out In a porous bed at the bottom above tho water level will cause freezing If the waters pumped o that It stands In tbn lunar tube above the lower ond of the iiitor casing and a long conUnued rlrrunt tlf such cold air may cause rooting of the ground water about and lu lime well tube For this condi lion ssys the Farmers Volou It Is lug TMtod that tho space between tho out r and Inner tube near tho surface txt iftfkot with sumo Impervious mate tal A Illllnp of comont resting on an mprovliotl plug la probably the most effective The homemade rag pack ns sometimes used Is ton porous to- asrvo the purpose The same treatment Is sitgsMlcd for wells with leaky oa lapi for tlrlv m wolla paMlBK through reeks porous sough to permit tho paiwaio of large surreal of chilled air during periods af high barometer and for wells In wblth the outer easing ends In some avorn or open pasMga that Is the I space between the welt tube and the lump tube near the surface should be tightly plugtod with Impervious ma terial About tome wilt the ground arevlcos through which tho air circa ales are so numerous that Immunity tom freezing can bo obtained only by plugging the space about tho pump tubo from top to bottom with cement

End tho Dead lock bearing on the Senatorial situ ation I hiyvo also received a tow let ters advising mo to vote for a Dom ocrat for United States Senator and In exchange procure a restricting bill and other measures In tho first placo I desire to say that tho chances to elect Bradley are good I would rather have his chan ces today than of any other mau in Kentucky It Is truo that the Joint opposition has eight votos more than wo have but our forces are united and those of tho opposition are di vided Wo stand agreed and they stand disagreed Mr Bcckham will never agree to surrender his nomi nation In favor of any Democrat On tho other hand thoso Democrats who oppose him will never vote for him All of this gives Bradley a pos ition of great advantage In tho con test In his language all that we have to do Is to sit steady In the boat Somo of thoso Democrats In closest touch with tho situation say to ufJthe Republican members Stand solidly for Bradley and we believe he will win The election of a United States Senator is of vast Importance to our party If wo elect him wo can secure all needed legislation If WB fail to elect him wo cannot bo assured of any legislation If wo surrender Bradley on a trade for legislation the probabilities are that we will lose everything Even if such a trade wore made how could it bo enforced More than this the suggestion that tho Independent Democrats in the General Assembly will not vote for needed legislation except In exchange for Republican votes for tho Senn torship Is an Impugnment of their motives We credit theso men with tho highest motives of patriotism but to suggest that they will not vote for needed legislation except In exchange for votes for office Is to discredit their motives Besides wo owo something to Bradley Indeed wo owo him very much more than we can ever hope to repay But for him we would never havo won a Stato election For forty years ho has fought opr battles In season and out of season Ho has hoped when others have de sponded Ho has fought when oth ers havo retreated Ho has always marched In front lIe has stood oftentimes singlehanded and alone To desert him now after he has grown gray in the service of thoI party and the people would bo an act of tho basest Ingratitude for which wo could and never should be forgiven Finally let me add what is known to those hero In closo touch with tho situation but seems to bo un known to thoso who view tho situation from a distance If Bradley should withdraw tho sixtyfive Re publican votes cannot be solidly de livered to any other candidate His withdrawal would Inevitably result In tho election of Beckham Woo tho Republican members on the ground believe wo are doing that which Is best for our party and that which Is best for the people of Kentucky Wo know tho situation Wo hope our friends out in the State who are Just as loyal to Republican principles as ourselves will trust us In this matter and wo assure them that wo shall act unselfishly and to the best Interests of all concerned W A COPE A few comments on the arguments given by Mr Cope seem necessary First Bradleys chances are no better than Bcckhams except for ono thing there Is a chance that somo Democrats may sell their votes or that some whiskey men may voto for him In a trade to kill the county unit bil- lSecondStnco Bradley cannot be elected there Is no chance to get the needed legislation that way But if ho could be elected tho Republicans would havo no better chance than before to get the laws the state needs Bradley would not have a vote In tho legislature or any power there that bo has not now- ThlrdDradleys services to the stato and tho party Tho Citizen would not deny but how does voting for him when there Is no chance of election repay him anything And then do wo owo him more than we owe the state and should we to pay him sacrifice tho Interests of every person In tho state and of tho party for years to come And If ho had tho RIGHT to demand that would a good and great leader a friend of the people do so1 The Cit izen thinks not FourthSpeaker Gooch has ruled that only a majority of all voting can elect a Senator If the Republi cans should split up and should voto for sixtyfive different people Beck ham would bo no nearer election unless somo of them voted for him FltthU wo can trust the Demo crats to give us the laws we need which they havo never donq wo surely can trust them to keep their pledged word In response to a fa vor And certainly there ARE enough good Democrats to carry out tho program Tho Citizen

Because the miracles were signs and proofs that Jesus camo from God and they Indorsed his message Tho miracles wero no breaking or changing of tho laws of nature but were the personal will of God acting directly upon the needs of men A miracle is simply Gods doing with his Infinite power tho samo qual ity of action though vastly greater in degree that wo do every hour when we exert our personal will amid the force of nature I lift up a bookJ turn on tho water from tho water works and make a shower on my parched lawn or garden I stop a part of tho machinery in tho factory and rescue n child taught in its wheels If Jesus was divine they were as natural to him as any other act of his will They wero objectlessons In tho spirit and tho work of tho Gos pel tho principles of which ho hat been teaching Every miracle Is a vis Iblo picture before men of tho char acter of Cod of the nature of tho Gospel of the loving kindncss of our Saviour of his power to help of the wonders of grace ho can work in our hearts of his power to deliver from the diseases of sin V 47 When he had heard that Jesus was come Into Galilee Ho must have heard abott him and especially of the miracle at Cana It was the knowledge of what Jesus had al ready dono that gave him faith to bo Hove that ho might cure his son Earnest Seeking The faith was so strong that ho went unto him from Capernaum to Cana 25 miles away a long days Journey Jesus must help or there was no hope The fact that he went to Jesus shows that he had some faith and that his faith that was theoretical from what ho had heard had now come to bo a working living force Besought him contln ued to beseech that ho would comedown Thinking that Jesus must go and see the boy in order to cure him At tho point of death Showing the difficulty of the cure and the urgency of haste Sickness and trouble are often ono means of Increasing faith Like Jacob from his pillow of stones in the night of sorrow many have seen visions of heaven and of our Father and have received the messages Gods angels have brought Countless stars invisible by day shlno upon us in tho night- V 48 Then said Jesus unto him Jesus neither refused nor granted the request nt once but uttered a truth Which tended to awako a fuller and more spiritual faith Except yo see signs and wonders miracles in two aspects yo wilt not believe Perhaps Jesus was thinking of tho form of the request when ho said thisthe feeling that Jesus must go to Caper baum If he would euro the boy that the father must see Jesus present to heal But chiefly ho wished to lift the man beyond tho outward form of mir acles out of wondering out of mere proofs of faith to insight into tho very nature and spirit of Jesus as the Son of God A Heart at Rest What interesting lesson can we learn incidentally from this part of the story Tho cure took place at one oclock In the afternoon tho seventh hour Tire distance from Main to Caperna um was 25 miles Tho nobleman In hasto could have reached home riding down hill some time that same night perhaps as Mac Jaren says before dark But It was the next day some die tance before ho reached Capernaum that ho met his servants coming U report that his son was restored The natural inference Is that the father did not hasten home himself and the beast ho rode being weary by their swift and urgent Journey In the morning He had como weary and heavy laden and found rest Ho that belleveth shall not be in haste Ho had a foretaste of the promise Jesua gavp to his disciples moro than two years later Believe that yo have re ceived and ye shall have Mark 1124 n V V 64 Second miracle Sign Not the second miracle Jesus baiTwrought r 45 but tho second in Galilee Why was this the best of all the blessings which rewarded his faith How can wo have such faith 7 Prof Drutnmond says So tar aa I can see there is only one way in which faith Is got and it Is the same in the religious world as it la In the world of men and women I learn to

is not so eas ily discovered The trouble origi nated In part from the love of the oldtime schoolmaster for solving difficult problems and thus proving the superiority of his attainments from the early textbooks that were made for mature minds and were fill ed with hard problems and puzzles to show the ingenuity of the authors from putting these books in the hands of children whose minds were not sufficiently developed to grasp them thus subjecting them to discourage ment In the beginning from cram ming their minds with a mass of rules and definitions before inducting them into the processes that would make principles rules and definitions plain and easy from expect ing ripe scholars in arithmetic when other branches just as important have scarcely been touched- It Is not the intention of this work to argue against arithmetic It is agreed that it is important and deserves its full meed of time and at tention It Is rather a question of what to teach and how to teach It whether to confine our efforts to the practical for the sake of business orlater in life or to use such exercises as will cultivate the mental powers without much reference to their prac ticability Will not a mind that is trained to proceed from the known to the unknown to reason from cause to effect to go from step to atop In logical order be able to grasp the details of the practical problems of life oven if it has not met them all in Ito training No reasonable per son can doubt It Moreover a great majority of prob lems in the business world are not arithmetical They are not cuch as are found in books with tho answers set down The practical problems In arithmetic will not teach the farmer tM anything about the rotation of crops or when to plant corn or what breed k of sheep will yield the most profit k They will net show the merchant where to buy his goods how to be polite to his customers nor Inform him as to the best selling articles These are samples of the practical problems we meet with in life and a trained wind Is required to success fully cope with them Is It not evident then that practical arithmetic should have for its object the cultivation of the mental powers rather than skill in comput ing the cost of so many bushels yards or pounds at so much per Item If the problems In computa tion are as good as any for training the mind by all means use them but let that bo the test Among the objects to be attained In the study of arithmetic are two 1 that need attention The first in point of time Is skill in handling numbers and In setting down figures For the sake of economizing time all thru life every child should be taught to compute rapidly and accurately This together with neatness can be taught In the early years of school life thq secret of success being Intel ligent and enthusiastic practice hard problems are not only not ncpeasa ry they are a positive detriment 10 CORRESPONDENCE Continued from tat Pige t the uncertainty of the tie market Mr J W Hurley of Hurley Ky was hero Monday trying to buy cat John Gabbard was in our 1tieMr Monday Mr Bluford Dees has been mpved into thisJ neighborhood for a fear weeksWmC- unagin is out on a drumming trip as substitute salesman for JHHundley representing Otter Co The revival meeting at Friendship church closed Sunday with ten ad 1 progress When rapidity accuracy and neatness aro the objects sought no other stimulus is necessary To make good progress is success and success is a sufficient reward for hard labor But it must bo remembered that skill while first in point of time is not the main object The second and main object Is the cultivation of the mental powers Skill is only a means to this end and to the econo my of time and effort thru life One of tho most valuable powers of the mind Is that of observation and this faculty should receive attention from the outset Much of the work of arithmetic does not require rea soning but observation Addition subtraction multiplication division tables and computations are evidence of this That two and two make four Is not the result of thought nor reason but is merely to be observed You observe if you have three apples and cat ono you have two left If you divide ten pears among five boys each one gets two etc etc A considerable amount of the work should call for thought but not too complicated for young minds Abun dance and variety of material rather than mental strain should be tho watchword Show them how to go from the known to the unknown One pound of nails costs three cents that is the known What will three pounds cost That is the unknown Starting with the known we say if one pound costs three cents three pounds will cost three times as much which Li nine cents The reasoning in this consists in seeing that the relation that exists between the price and the amount in the known must be the same in the unknown and of following this relationship thru the arithmetical process to the conclu sionA great number of such simple problems hhould be given begInners until tho powers of reasoning is fixed then make the work more complicated by adding some new fac tor as If three cakes of soap costI fifteen cents what will five cakesI cost Here we go from the known to the unknown but we cannot go directly to the conclusion we mustI make an intermediate step From knowing what three pounds cost weI first find what ono cost then we proceed along the well knowing pathI of reasoning from one to any numJ ber If the first is well understood before undertaking the second and each one thereafter thoroly learned there will never be any trouble A student can readily learn to go thru the most difficult mazes of reasoning If only he bo required to learn one new step at a time and Is given a sufflccnt number of problems for 111 ustratlon and practice A considerable number of the cub Jects In the old arithmetics are nel ther practical norcultural Such topI ics as duodecimals alligation medial true and bank discount cubo rootI and miscellaneous problems that aroI too difficult for most mature minds are to say the least of doubtful use in the district school If they l1aeI a place it is in the higher schoolsI Pupils would much bitter employ their time in literature rhetoric composition letter writing and busInessc forms all of which will be useful ev cry day of Choir lives When you are catlcfled a certain course is right stand for it and follow it but be tactful in so doing I The city schools all over the land have done much in the past few years in abolishing too errors of teaching arithmetic by omitting such subjects as thoso indicated above or relegating them to the high school The wrong and frequently cruel prac tice of subjecting young minds to problems far beyond their years is no longer tolerated- If the country teacher cannot abol ish the evils that aro obvious ho can at least advocate reform wher ever opportunity offers and be ready to join forces with any movement whose object Is

Congest Apparently Held by Liquor Men THEY MAY DECIDE ELECTION It la Now Openly Hinted That Oppo nents of County Unit Dill Are Ready to Favor the Side That Favors Them Some Interesting Capitol Gossip Frankfort Ky Feb 4 Another week has passed and the senatorial race seems no nearer a solution than it did three weeks ago Tho deadlock Btlll holds firm and unless tho temper ance question can cut the Gordian knot there Is no prospect of an elec tlon at this session of tho legislature The temperance fight has already butted Into the senatorial race how ever and may be tho ono thing that will cause an election There aro soy eral members of the legislature who are to bo more strongly Interested in preventing the passage of tho bill extending thb county unit law to I every county In Uio state than in election of a senator or In any thoI legislation If the Democrats L GOV AUGUSTUS WILLSON majority of them try to pass this bill then It is asserted that these liquor members will vote for and elect tho Republican nominee for senator If the Republicans vote and work for the county unit bill then these liquor men will not vote for the Republican nomi nee The llouo men seem to hold tho balance of power and want to use It to further their Interests They are opposed to Derkham becauso of his tem perance views but they do not want to vote for Bradley unless the exigen cies of the temperance bills require such a course That Is tho situation now and If anyone can guess what will happen ho can do moro than any man in Frankfort Senator Hubble of Lincoln county has Introduced a bill in the which requires all legal senateII insurance companies doing in Kentucky to invest 80 per cunt of i the reserve on all outstanding policies issued In Kentucky In Kentucky secu rUles such as state county or city I bonds mortgages on real estate and mortgages on tobacco that is pooled by some responsible organization which Is operated In tho interest of the tow bacco growers Tho primary objector the bill Is of course to prevent the I enormous reserve funds of tho big In suranco companies from being nnd Invested in New York alone heldI Kentucky legislature has no these insurance companies it Is true but It can pass a law to the effect that no company can do business In Ken tucky unless it invests a part of the money it earns from Kentucky policy holders in Kentucky securities This same bill with the tobacco feature left out was Introduced In tho legislature two years ago but tho Influence of the insurance companies smothered It It will bo quite a feather In Senator lIub I bles cap It he can put his bill through and thus help the tobacco raisers I bring tho tobacco trust to terms C Judging from the number of bills In troduced the members of this legisla turo are anxious to do something for both tho living and dead soldiers Senator Renaker has offered a bill pro viding for a pension of 125 per to all disabled and indigent yearI crate soldiers and Senator fered ono amending the law governing tile Confederate Homo so that a Con I efderato soldier who In entitled to become an Inmate of the home may It ho chooses remain with his family nnd draw the amount for his support that would be paid for his maintenance at tho home The bill la appropriate 25000 for a monument or memorial I to tho Confederate nnd Union soldiers at tho VIcksburg National park VIcks burg Miss has already been approved by the senate committee and will likely pass without any serious oppo eltlon This Is considered a small j amount when compared with the 200 000 appropriated for tho same purpose by Illinois 200000 by Iowa 100000 by little Rhode Island and similar amounts by many other states Ken 4 rr tucky was represented by twelve red ments at the siege of VIcksburg In eluding both tho Union and Confeder ate forces and she should not lag be hind the other states In paying fitting tribute to her bravo sons that fell on that famous battle ground Several bills have been Introduced this session to make eight hours a le gal days work for several different classes of laboring men but tho legis lature itself has much shorter hours than that As a matter of fact tho legislature does not learn how to work till the last three weeks of a session For the biggest part of the sixtyday term they Just loaf along and take things easy They meet about 11 oclock In the morning go through with some unimportant routine work till noon then tako a ballot for United States senator nnd ndjonrn for the day It Is true that some committee meetings are held In the afternoon and at night but no far this year tho senatorial race seems to have demoralized all attempts to get down to hard work It has been suggested that better results could be obtained If the legislators were paid a fixed salary for their full term instead of tho five dollars a day they now receive Sen ator Nat Cureton of Louisville has of fered a bill providing that all legisla tors shall receive tO per month for their full twoyear term nnd tho lieutenant governor to receive 2500 per year It is not believed that this bill will pass however nnd If It should pass It would not apply to tho present legislature an tho salary of an official cannot bo changed after ho has en tered upon his duties Out of all the bills Introduced look- Ing to the securing of a better system of public roads it Is believed that some one good measure will be adopt ed The constitution does not permit state aid to roadbuilding but state aid teems to be the only solution of tho problem With this Idea In view Senator Bosworlh has Introduced a bill providing for a vote on the propo sition to so amend the constitution that the state may lend Its credit to any county to help that county build good roads The plan Is to have a county vote to Issue bonds for a cer tale amount to build roads and then the state will endorse tho bonds and thus the money can be raised to carry on the work Other states have even gone farther than this In New York the state contributes CO per cent of the cost of all roads California and Cole rado pay all the cost Massachusetts pays all tho coat but requires the counties to refund onehalf In six years In Ohio the state pays 25 per cent the county CO per cent the town ships 15 per cent and the abutting property owners 10 per cent In Penn sylvania tbi state pays 75 per cent A large number of other states help tho counties to a greater or less de guess to bMId the roads and unlet some meat rods adopted by the led laturo to promote rondbulldlnp Kentucky will oon drop behind her sister states and bo known as tho mudroad state Kentucky has neglected her fish and game laws for so long or has tailed to enforce them that fish and game have almost become things of the past Other states have rigid laws on this subject and enforce them to tho let ter but It hns never been done in this state In fact there Is an attempt at every session of the legislature to re peal tho few restrictions M to fishing alt hunting that nrn now on the stat ute books Representative Hunter of Clark county has Introduced a bill providing for tho appointment of n state game and fish commission that shall appoint n game warden The bill tar thor provides for a gun license for all hunters of 2 for pump or repeating guns and I for other gun It also provides for a license of I for every fisherman who Is n resident of tho state and 5 for all nonresidents and limits the amount of game and fish that may be token In any ono day Representative W C McCbord of Washington county has offered a bill that he thinks will to a great extent solve tho tobacco troubles In this state Ills bill provides first that all persons companies corporations oc governments that are engaged in man ufacturing or buying tobacco in this state must first procure a license to do so from the state commissioner of agriculture second it provides that It shall be unlawful for any person en gaged In growing tobacco to put on any growing plants any poisonous sub stance for the purpose of destroying worms or Insccta or for any other pur pose third it makes It unlawful for any person having tho posaesslon of tobacco the title of which Is vested In another to sell or otherwise dispose of such tobacco without tho consent of tho person In whom the title Is vest cd Tho latter clause In to prevent anyone who has pooled tie tobacco from

much very much has been actually nccom pushed during the past six years und it nsa shown by actual experience that they can be enforced against the wealthiest corporation and the richest and most powerful manager or manipu lator of that corporation as rigorously Anti fearlessly as against the humblest offender Above all they have been enforced the very wrongdoers and agents of wrongdoers who have for so many years gone scot tree and flouted tho laws with Impunity against great lawdefying corporations of Immense wealth which until the last half dozen years have treated themselves and have expected others to treat them as being beyond and nbovo all possible check from law It Is especially necessary to secure to the representative of the national gov ernment full power to deal with tho great corporations engaged In Interstate corn merce and above all with the great In terstate common carriers Our people should clearly recognize that while there art difficulties In any course of conduct to be followed In dealing wIththese great corporations these difficulties must be faced and one of three courses followed The first course Is to abandon all ef fort to oversee and control their ict1ons In the Interest of the general public and to permit a return to the utter lack of control which would obtain If they were left to the common law I do not for ono moment believe that our people would tolerate this position The ex traordinary growth of modern Industrial Ism has rendered the common law which grew up under and was adapted to deal wth totally different conditions In many respects inadequate to deal the now conditions These new conditions make It necessary to shackle cunning as In the we have shackled force The vast Individual and corporate fortunes the vast combinations of which have marked the development of our Industrial create new and necessitate a change from the old attitude of thia state and nation owned the rules regulating the acquisition and untram meled business use of In order both that property may be adequately protected and that at the came Smut those who hold It may be prevented from wrongdoingThe and third courses are to have tho regulation undertaken either by the nation or by the states or course In event both the national government and the several state gov ernments must do each Its part and each can do a certain amount that the other cannot do while the only really satisfactory results must be obtained by the representatives of the national and state working heart thy together within their respective Hut in my thoroughgoIng and satisfactory COmi trol can In time end only be obtained by the action of the national government for almost all the corporations of enormous wealth that Is the ions which It Is especially desirable to control are engaged in Interstate com merce and derive their power and their Importance not from that por tion of which Is Intr state but from the Interstate business It Is not easy always to decide just where the line of demarcation between the two kinds of business falls This line roust ultimately be drawn by the federal courts Much of the effort to secure adequate control ot the great corporations by state action has been wlso and effective but much of It has been neither for when tIm effort Is made to accomplish by itho notion of the state what can only be accom pushed by the action of the nation the result can only be disappointing and In tho end the law will probably be de elated unconstitutional Ho likewise In the national arena we who believe In the measures herein advocated are hampered and not aided by the extrem lets who advocate action a violent It would either be useless or else would cause more mischief than it would remedy We havo just passed through two months of acute financial stress At any such tlmo It Is a sad fact that entirety Innocent people suffer from no fault of their own and every one mast feel the keenest sympathy for the large body ot honest business men of hon est Investors of honest wageworkcrs who suffer because Involved a crass for which they are In no way respon sible At a time tImers Is a natu rat tendency on the part of many men to feet Gloomy and frightened at the outlook but there la no justification for this feeling There la no nation so absolutely sure of ultimate success as ours Of course we shall cue cecil Ours Is a nation ot masterful energy with a continent for Its do main and It feels within Its veins the thrill which comes to those who know that they possess the future We are not cast down by the fear ot failure We are upheld by the confident hope of ultimate triumph The wrongs that exist are to be corrected but they In nc way justify doubt as to the final out come doubt aa to the great material prosperity of the future or of the lofty which Is to be built upon that prosperity as a foundation No misdeeds done In the present must be permitted to shroud from our eyes the glorious future ot the nation but be cause this very tact It behooves us never to swerve from our resolute our pose to cut out wrongdoing and uphold what Is right I do not for a moment belIeve that the actions of this administration have brought on business distress so far as thIs is due to local and not worldwide causes and to the actions of any par ticular Individuals It la due to the specu lative folly and flagrant dishonesty of a few men ot great wealth who seek to shield themselves from the effects of their own wrongdoing ascribing Its results to the actions those who have sought to put a stop to the wrongdoing lint if It were true that to cut out rotten ness from the body politic meant a mo check to an unhealthy anemia prosperity I should not for one moment hesitate to knife to the corrup Jon

In uaineU and polItics sIlica in all walks of life in big things and In little things upon just and fair dealing as between man and man Those who de main this are striving for the right in the spirit
