AND $1.00, KENTUCKIAN NOT A TOPER. He Drinks Less Than Tipplers in Other States, it is Claimed. Henry Waterson, in Louisville Ceurier Journal Since the Kentucky whisky joke was annexed to the original forty jests of the stone age 1t has been supposed beyond the borders of the i state that every Kentucky home is a private bar and every Kentuckian In @ perpetual state of alcoholic exulta- tion. Asa matter of fact Kentuck- > ians drink less than “furriners” who visit us or those who remain at home, The Kentuckian enjoys 80 many of the blessings of life, suffers 80 few of the ills to which human flesh is heir and has so many com- pensations for those he does suffer that he rarely “lickers up” to forget a sorrow unless he {s in an alien land suffering from acute nostalgia. If he gets drunk at home.{t ‘s in celebration of his glorious state, and except upon fete days he usually re- frains from giving expression to his feelings {n such a,manner. It was a benighted poet of the East who penned the lines about what heaven would be could the Kentucky colonel mold it nearer to his heart’s desire and in which he put in the mouth of an imaginary exponent of continued intoxication these worde: “Could I be granted what I'd ask in 2 that celestial clime * i’d have a horse race every day and 4 licker all the time.” : The love of the Kentuckian for his horse—and for the other fellow’s horse which fs capable of defeating his {na turf battle—has not been exaggerated. Note the words of a Kentucky writer placing that eent!- ment above the Kentuckian’s love of and his appreciation of the cup that cheers: “If he were convinced that heaven would be an interminable boulevard ms, and the trausportation of horses assured no Kentucklan would miss it, though convinced that it lay through a prohibition district. These lines expressed the sentl- . ments ot a confederate officer, des- iy eribed by the novelist as a “noted horseman who, late in life, sought the consolations of the church and i always belleved impliclély that he aM, would be allowed to race his favorite thoroughbred upon the green past- ‘tures of the hereafter.” When Kentucky was first settled the fronsiersmen who had settled the Appalachian range and found para- diee situated not in thecerulean skies above the granite-ribbed peake of the Blue ridge but down in the valley upon the other side of the mountains get about devising ways and means for the rest of the human race 60 that there would not be too great 6 rash into Kentucky. The best they could was to invent a nectar like unto that which cour- sing through the veins of the Persian tentmaker made him a poet and caused him to “wonder what the vinters buy one haltso precious as | the stuff they eell.” Is was thus in sweet charity forthe unbappy dwellers in less blessed lands that the crystal waters from the limestone springs of the blue and the perfect kernels of the corn from the river “bottoms” were brought {nto conjunction and dis- tilled into an amber liquid that in due time spread the fame of the Ken- tucky distiller from Bering straite to the Straits of Magellan and made whisky straight the favorite pota tion of the discriminating palate in two hemlephers. The Kentuckian has never lacked appreciation of and pride in and, truth to tell, an abiding love for the native beverage, but he knows that to enjoy health and longevity and to extend the blessings of life over long pertod of golden years it {s nec- cessary to be temperate in his in- fusion of the devine fire into his velns, and yout true Kentuckian may reach middle age with a height- ened glow upon his cheeks, bespeak- ing a regular bus temperate indul- gence in the native nectar, but rare- ly is he a drunkard. her shout; and at my request she summoned a messenger and we sent that card at once to the mail on ite way to Mrs. Clemens in Hartford.” Eagle Kills a Dog. Pomfret, Va., Dec. 24—Rab, o epaniel owned by Seldon Purroy, met death in a peculiar way one day last week while trying to protect his master’s property. A hungry eagle was observed circling over a flock of turkeys in- tended for the Christmas market and Mr. Purroy set Rab to keep an eye on the birds. He then went about his chores confident that his turkeys would be protected. Half an hour later he heard bark. ing and squeals and looked out the barn door. In an orchard a few rode distant the eagle and dog were battling for the possession of a young turkey. Suddenly the eagle let go of thefowl and grasped the epantel in its talons. The farmer ran to the rescue, but he was too late. With a flapping of wings the eagle slowly arose, carry- ing the yelping and helpless spaniel, When the gient bird reached a height of about 500 feet, 1s dropped {ts burden and soared away. The dog struck a fence post and was in- stantly killed. Long Tennessee Fight. For twenty years W. L.

There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood.

When a child does not enjoy noisy sports and games there is something wrong, and that something will often be sie to be a lack of nutrition adequate to the needs of youth and growth, The stomach is “weak,” digestion is imper- fect, and so the nourishment of the body is inadequate. In such cases Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery works wonders. It changes puny, fretful children into healthy, happy girls and boys.. The process by which this change is ac- complished is strictly along the lines marked by Nature.” All growth and strength come from food when it has been digested, converted into nutrition and assimilated. “Goiden Medical Dis- covery” cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri- tion, and so enables the body to obtain without loss or waste the benefit of the nutrition provided in food.
