AN AMBITION REALIZED
The visit of Mrs Beckbam to the
famous Gethsemane Abbey has had
quit an nterestfor every one The
nnusualneti of it the honor paid the I
governor wife and tho beauty of the
gracious young woman who wu al
lowed to enter the forbidden ground
are each sufficient to attract special
notice But over all this then comes
the gleam of a light the most attract I
Ire that ever shines on land and sea
that of romance Governor Beckham
told It In I the little speech be made at
the Abbey and it is well worth Riving
in his own word They an trlef but
yon can read so ranch between the
tines and 1111 out the love story of th e
y g governor and his charming wife
with all cane of Imagination This is 1
what he saldi
Father Abbot and my other friends
sn
I am determined that on this occasion
I shall not make yon a lOt speech A
man should not Inflict a let ipeecb
upon his friends I feel that hen i In
Nelson my old home county and
among yon a set speech Is f not needed
There Is I one thing bowevertn connect
Ion with Gethnrmane that I must
mention Some of my newspaper
friends have Innocently spread a false
report about mo They have said
that this today t Is my first visit to
the abbey I want to correct that re
port because I feel that whatever I
hays achieved In any way Is I duo dl
roctly to a visit I paid the abbey tome
years ago
A party of ni young men and
girls came One of the father
showed us courtesy over everything
that the tales permitted npR ICe
When we came to that spot bejc
which women an barred one of the
girl protested laughingly against the
exclusion
Well my dear young lady sal d
the father If Mr Beckham lives to 1
become governor and yon booM mar
ry him then I promise that you shall
visit the Inner part of the monastery
And straightway said Mr Beck
ham an ambition arono within me to
be governor for I felt that a man s
ambition combined with a womans
curiosity made a force too strong t o
be resisted That girl ii Mrs Beck
ham
The combination surely worked l
Dylhe way Governor Beckhaini luck
all through lift bu been something e 0
phenomenal that his home friends n
surd him with something akin to su
perdition After he wu placed on
the ticket with Mr Goebel a lady veb o
knew r Im exclaimed If I wen Mr
Goebel I would be afraid to hoc e

governor He rever misses anything
He certainly won all ho planned to I I
that stay fit Old Gethsenane and
he would have rain t mon than human
to have felt no thrill of pleasure and
anlllIOmetblng
something akin to pride when he told
of his realized ambition and gazed
upon his beautiful wife whom the
noble monks were delighted to honor

On Thursday evening the Rev O

Bred the commencement address to the
graduating Iaof the Hopklnsville
public high school The Dally Ken
tacky New Era glrea the following
synopsis of It which we quote here
for the benefit of the Padncah graduat
es They an good word for any
body though
Dr George W Brlggsi commence
ment address wu heart with the
closest attention and through appocia
tin It was one of the mot practical
and appropriate addresses which Hop
klnsville people ever have been suffi
ciently fotnnate to bear and was spoke
isen with the charm of manner which
mark all of Dr Briggs public utter
anOCL
anceDr
Dr Brlftgt lK a hit address by a
compirlson between school life and
the desert experience of the chllderen
ot Israel Both wen to be described
as dreary and depressing and yet both
were vital indlspenslble Had Mote
marched straight from the Red Sea to
the Promised Land be would have
reached Its border with a nation of
slaver completely at the mercy of the
warlike Canaanite After 40 yean
schooling in the desert Joshua crowed
the Jordan with an army of veteran
soldier Inured to hardship and train
ed to war Invincible
ills then compared himself to Caleb
or Joshua who were sent to spy out
the Promised Land and returned with
their message to expectant Israel I The
message today and of old would bo
much the same It la a land flow
r with milk an1 i honey but the
c lelrt walled a1Jle7 high and
moroov we sew the ions of Anak
then
Life the speaker insisted war not
a disappointment The world was
full of prize yet the young graduate
Ilgoing forth wonldbav to prove him
lelf able to take them He would
find hll passport demanded at every
step of Ibo way
In view of all this what did these
young people need t Three things I
sound bodies 2 educated minds 3
sound hearts After discussing the
first two the speaker took up the third
1and substituted for the phrase Sound
heart the wonl Principle What
0our young people needed most now
aday wa principle Net that they
wjre unprincipled but that tney
did not have a number of mol ando
vital question settled and laid on the
shelf He insisted that women should
have the acme prlclplc as men anal I to
divide them as Miss Power Cobbe
thought they wen doing the men lak
Ing courage and truth the women
purity and tempraace If tried to
01101ct one virtue pre emGent among
lathers
other at the tale of other It I
to truth
in conclusion be gave the com
rlinanity this advice Tako ran who
roaches your boy and make np your
mind that yon dont teach him when
you think you do No n but a
good man should be a teacher and
parent teachof by what they say
but by what theWo
