A TOUCH OF SUNSHINE.
The London Times pauses in the midst of its war
reports to record two schooiboy witticisms uncon
scious products of the exa'uunution. period.
Tho iirst shows the rCsVilt of the modern craze
for explaining everything that happens upon the
theory thut somcbodyclsJ is more "efllcient" than
ourselves. It follows:
A great deal of butter Isf imported from Dunmnrk be
causo Danish cows aro mote enterprising than ours and
liavo received a technical elucntlou superior to that gicn
them, in Eugland. I
One can not help believing that this schoolboy
had heard so much of. the technical education of
Germany that he grow to believe that technical
education explains everything.
The companion picjee is evidently the reflect ions
of a lad who has mused deeply upon the doings of
the militant suffragettes. Tliis deep thinker says:
Tho courage of tho Ijttrk is explained by tho fact that a
man who has several vivos is more dUpocd to face death
brnvely than ho who Had only one.
It is well for thjc English that they are able to
sec a little humor in the world in these dark days.
The German schoolboys, we are told, spend all
their snare time in 'Irilliner as soldiers. Louisville
Post.
THE WAR INiijvVINTER..
The "White Enemy which is now descending
upon all the warring camps of Europe will bring
unspeakable horrors in its wake. Snow has fallen
in the Vosges land in the Carpathians. It already
lies deep upoi the Itusshm frontier. Ice, accord
ing to the dispatches, has formed in the trenches
' in stricken Bilgium, and the suffering of the oppos.
ing armies is' intense.
The ngonu-s which must bo endured during the
.coming months will shock the world. With want
and hunger! disease and insufficient shelter, the
hardships it the fighting and non-fighting mil
lions will be beyond words to describe.
The contemplation of these things should in
spire in tlhe American heart a new interpretation
of our National Day of Thanksgiving. It should
also induce us to share our abundance with those
wlicTnceu it most. What we waste and wantonly
throw ayay would go far in bringing relief to the
needy in Europe. Times-Star.
THEY DON'T KNOW THAT GEORGE WASH
INGTON IS DEAD.
"Writing of Woodson May's definition of the first
, kiss oi love, Old Bachelor James M. Allen, who
probably never kissed a woman in his life, says:
"Woodson's wires are crossed. Nobody ever
.heard of a first kiss lasting like a pumpkin pie.
It is absurd. As a matter of fact, the first kiss
jdoesn't taste at all. You feel an electric thrill run
ning up and down the backbone, but you dou'l
" ''it. That thrill is for once only; after that
all over. Subsequent kisses are merely per
jory and produce no more effect than pressing
face into a half-baked biscuit." Lexington

WENTIETH CENTURY QUESTION.
Am Court of Appeals has again been wrestling
th the question, "What Is Whisky?" Here in
merset, since the saloons passed out a few Aveeks
o, the problem which the thirsty ones have been
niggling with is not so much what is whisky as
-here is whisky? Somerset Journal.
THOSE OHIO GIRLS.
Feminists point with pride to the fact that an
Ohio girl is the first human to contract tho foot
and mouth disease. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
THE NEW CHIEF OF STAFF,
Tl'ieTnew Chief of Staff, Gcnoral iVugh b. Scott,
is a Kcntuakian, as is General J. Franklin Bell,
who was tlto first to fill that post, (the highest in
honor and responsibility that the rcfgulnr army of
the United ,States has to offer. Geicral Scott en
ters on his new duties with a rccorl of varied and
efficiently performed service.
Appointed originally to tho cavalry, ho knows
from practical experienco the wordings of the de
partments now grouped undor that of subsistence.
Ho has had his full share of fighting, on the plains,
in Cuba and tho Philippines. Hi has shown a
marked capacity for civil, gQyernmcnl nnd a gift
for commanding the confidence hi savage peoples
that has stood his country in (rood stead in its
dealings with the Indians and 1'ilipinos. He suc
ceeds, in Bell, Wood and-Wotierspoon, some of
the ablest officers that the ni'lny has produced.
That hc'will prove a worthy Uuoce'ssor is a pre
diction that may bo safely ventured. Louisville

Tia Beer Case.
"But how do you ljnow I am not a vegetarian?" mar
veled the slender woijmn in Mohawk green. '
"Hecauso it is meet that you shouldn't bo," explained
tho great detective.
"Oh, meet, ineat,'T SCe!" she explained. "How per
fectly outln,ndishly. Sample, now that 1 know it. I trust
you will find my jpoklo and pretzol mystery, as simple,
but I doubt it. Eviliy morning for tho past week, 1 have
found, upon arisini that my bedroom floor is littered
with pickles, little round pretzels, and sometimes ari
ous sorts of ornckp'rs. They ar0 not there at night when
r retire, and my husband denios all knowledge- of them
I feel that it is some omen of evil, some sign of the
bltrck hand or something. If you are ablo to explain this
delicatessen visitation, as I might call it, I am willing to

Tho great dete,tivo pondered.
"What is your telephono number?" IK) asked suddenly.

I keep tho neivs from her that you have been confing

"Twcnty-fiv) bones," camo tho prompt answer. .
"Send it in; stamps," said tho great detective, and re

WEAK KIDNEYS

Kidney PUieases Cause Mny Aches and
Ills qt MiyaviUe People.
As ono wojUc link weakens a chain,
so may weak kidneys weaken the' whole

causos injuro tho kidnoys, and general

real help for tho sufferer except kid

Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
tho kidneys. Maysvlllo testimony is

Thcro is no more striking feature
of tlie war in Europe than tho effect
it has had upon tho British l'mpirc,
Tho tierman hopo that tho political
troubles between England and Ireland
would placo Great Britain in nn nwk
ward position and possibly jiroont har
fiom undertaking a foroign war seomed
ill grounded here in America, but in
America, as eNewhere, it seemed prob
nblp that India and Egypt would take
advantage of nn opportunity to carry
out seditious plans long fostered, and
tho German view that tho Boers in
South Africa, if not tho Australians,
would provo disloyal or lukewarm did
not seem wholly fantastic.
The Ucrmnn plan, loudly nlleged and
seemingly real, to stir up troublo for
die British in Egypt and among tho In
Kan Mohammedans does not appear to
huo prospered. Indian princes aro
Hc-nding men and money to tho empiro's
aid. Tho Boers aro ready to invade, if
r.ot already invading, Gorman South
west Africa to enpturo it for Great
Britain, and native African chieftains
hnvo sent littlo gifts from scnuty
hoards and expressed, ns one of them is
quoted, .1 desiro to "throw a few
stones for the King-Emperor."
"That n country conquered within n
dozen years should not only need ito
gnrrlson, but by its own freo will maku
war against tho enemies of its into
victor," says Sir Hider Haggard in 1111
article upon tho sympathy of South
Africa with Eugland, "is something jf
which tho British muy well feel proud."
Ho accounts for tho nttitudo of the
Ooers by saying that thoy profcr Brit
ish dominnnco to tho German mennvo.
Ho thinks that tho froo grant of full
solf-govornmont to tho Transvaal nnd
tho Orange lllvor Colonies, after the
British had whipped tho Boers nt a cost
of 20,000 lives ami $1,500,000,000, itn
pressed tho vanquished with tho good
intontlons of tho victor and won thorn
lo loyalty which could not otherwlso
havo been oxpectod.
Assuredly hp present political con
ditions of tho British Emplro nro with
outparallel In history. The signal for
the revolt of depeudouoias lias usually
been war which loft tho Imperial Gov
eminent u 11 ablo to copo with revolu
tion in distnut parts of tho empire.
Thli war has welded tho units of the
British Empire, ami there is u ast
dillererico botween tho fighting ofll
cleney of Great Britain- and whnt it
would havo been if it hnd been neces
sary to combat Asian and Africnn up
risings. The test of loyalty is 0110 that
