Uncle Waife MARRY IN HASTE MQAM OWLKY brought Ills bride O home last evening," announced tho horse (loctor. "and they're going to begin housekeeping right away. Sam Bays he married the girl three dnj-t after first seeing her, and wnw to think he did -one thlrtK pretty clev cr, but there's an old saying about marrying In haste nnd repenting nt lclmtre." "It's worth Just about as much us the rest of the old sayings" said the village patriarch. "They're all cheap good, and you don't get a chro mo with any of them. Most mar ried women repent nt leisure, whether they married In haste or tool: their t lino about It. "I sometimes think that the longer an unmarried woman contemplates the man aha Is going to marry, the less she knows about him. If there Is n pro tracted courtship, the man has every opportunity to work up a reputation that doesn't belong to him. "Jut this morning my present wife was telling me that If sho hud known what sort of n man I really was she'd never have married me. Yet die had sis months to study me before the wed ding belli rang out their glad chimes, and she thought X was an exemplary mnn. I'm natura.ly of a slouohy dis position. I never did take much pride In my appearance, even when I was a young man, nnd as I waxed older I be came downright careless. 1 considered It a waste of money and effort to have my cloihes pressed, and having my shoes blacked seemed merely vanity and vexntlon of spirit. "Yet when I began courting the ex cellent woman who Is my wife, 1 braced up In the most surprising way. I always did that when I went court ing. And Uio surprising thing Is that It never seemed a dishonest proceed ing. It never struck me, until my wife called my attention to the matter, long afterwards, that I was obtaining mon ey under false pretenses, so to speak, when I created the Impression that I was the glass of fashion and the mold of form. "I'd go to nee that woman all togged out like a young man who is billed to sing a tenor solo. I'd have my whis kers and hulr trimmed, and ray shoes shlned, and my teeth manicured, and I'd be wearing a collar as white as the driven snow, and a handkerchief In keeping. It seemed the natural and proper thing to do, yet I was working a llimflam game with the best inten tions In the woild. "The more Arabella considered me, the more she was convinced that I was a marvelously neat and tidy man, and she was so Impressed that she married me without the slightest hesitation. , No sooner were the last sad rites per-1 formed, however, than I lost all Inter-1 est hi the task of dolling myself up, and I've been a sort of scarecrow ever since. "My wife has to remind me when it's time to change shirts or have my hair cut, and she's completely disheart ened. I don't blame her in the least, 1or I realize now, since she has ex plained the matter ten thousand times, that she married a counterfeit "It would have been far better had sho caught me whea I was running wild, and married me without taking time to think the matter over. But she studied me for several months, and you see what sort of a prize package she drew. "I believe a woman, or a man, eith er, will do well to trust to luck la matrimonial matters."

The American grieranco was caused by the seizure of America u vessels by France. The French grievance was that commercial privileges tiad been granted to England. Talleyrand, the French foreign minis ter, refused to receive the envoys, but it had beeu conveyed to them by secret agents that before any settlement could be reached it would bo neces sary for tho United States to pay a large sum of money, which was, In fact, little more than a bribe.

DAKOTAS NOltTll and South Da kota formed tho northern section of the Louisiana Purchase by tho ncqulsl- Hon of which from Frnnre the United States nearly doubled Its sizo Tim Dnkotas were the last states which were made up whol ly from this purchase, to be come a part of the Union. Short ly nftur Its acquisition, the Lew is nnd Clark expedition was sent out to explore It and they spent their first winter In 1S01 near Mnmlnn. The British had many fur posts in this region, nnd us they considered It part of Brit ish territory, they built u fort In 1810 near Pembina. British rights, however, were withdrawn In the Treaty of 1S13, which es tablished tho formal boundary between the United States and .'umi(hi. Tlin Sioux I ml 1 uns, who had been very hostilo toward white Invasion final ly ceded a portion of their land to the government In lSol. This was opened up to settlement and thus Immigration was started In this part of the country. In 1S54 the section west of the Missouri river be came a part of Nebraska terri tory, while the portion to tho Hast was attached to Minnesota. However, In 1801, the separate Territory of Dakota was organ ized. Population did not Increase rapidly, until 1SC0, due to tho warlike demonstrations of the Indians. It is from thes'e Indians that the name Dakota comes. But It was not until 1SS!) that the Dakota territory was divided nnd formed into t.o st.ites. To u old any feeling of Jealousy as to which was made a state first, the two bills were signed by President Harrison after they had been shuffled up and wero then re-shuilled so it Is not knowiifwhlch w-us signed first. Their areas are about the same, North Dakota containing 70.S37 square miles, while South Da kota has 77.013 square miles. The population Is also about equal and each Is entitled to five presidential electors. ( by McCluro N.wipiper Syndicate.) l .,-.....w .--- w -- The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE XLVI. NEW MEXICO AS ITS name I in piles, New Mexico's his tory Is close ly allied with Old Mexico. It was the Spanish who were Its first ex plorers, De Vaeu visiting this region In 1K5G and Coronado four years later. The natives were the Pueblo Indians, al though they are somtlmes errone ously reputed to have been Az tecs as they were well udvunced In the arts and had a compara tively high civilization. These Indians were conquered In 101)3 by Juan de Onate and became subject to Spanish rule, being forced to work the mines and pay tribute. Missions were estab- Ushed and Santa Fe was founded about 1003. Except for u period of ten years when the Indians revolted and maintained their Indepen dence, New Mexico remained un der Spanish control until In 1821 Mexico gained its Independence from Spain and New Mexico became a province of Mexico. Thus it remained until the out break of the Mexican war, when In 1840 Colonel Kearny marched from Fort Leavenworth with his troops, occupied Santa Fe and declared this region a part of the United Stutes. By tho Treaty with Mexico in 1843, the upper part of the state was formally ceded to the United Stutes and the Territory of Mexico wus or ganized In 1851, which reached from Texas to California. Arizona was set off from New Mexico In 1S03 and u few years luter a portion was contributed to Colorado, Application for ad mission us a state started In 1850, but It was not until 11)10 thut New Mexico became the forty-seventh state. New Mexico ranks fourth In size among the states with an area of 122,034 square miles, but Is sparsely populated and accord ingly has only three electoral votes for President. iQ T KeCtnr Nw.pjr 8rnllcU.) iBtk The Ranger's Atoncmont I 4 By CALVIN HENDRICKS Ntiatu had tue sorrow lu her and that was the thought of Burn- Slio wim tli."ilin ; i rut, tier in the finest rttf,. ut o.

It was during one of these days that Barnes came riding up to Nestn's cabin, whore she was ulone. "Can j on spare me a drink of wnter. tnn'ntii?" he began. "1 saw jour lire smoking -n 1 thought It might be--" Then she turned round nd thuj recognized each other. "I beg your pardon, J In, Anderson." said Barnes. "I didn't know It wus you. You sec, I thought the smoke from your cabin might bo the be ginning -of a forest lire. We rangers are on the alert nowivjlnj's. owing to the dry spell." Nestn gave him the cup of water. He drank It, raised hN hat. und turned to go. Suddenly he wUded round., His voice was hoarse with emotion. "Ne'stn !" he cried, and caught her by the hands. "Nestal" There was an Intense passion In his voice. He said no more, and, sudden ly dropping her hands, he turned uwuy. Days passed. Nesta had said noth ing to John. Barnes did not 50 near ifie cabin. It was toward evening about three weeks luter thut Barnes, ascending un observation hill, perceived a line of noke curling up from the forest edge beneath him. He rode toward It at full gallop, but before he reached It he perceived that It was beyond one man's control. There was nothing to do but to ride to the camp, five miles away, and summon aid. He returned about nine o'clock, with a company of ten tire fighters; but by this time the heaven was alight with the lurid tlames. "There's 11 camp down there." said Smith, one of his men. "I think It's a sheepman's. I saw a man nnd wom an ns I rode by yesterday." He point ed toward a spot near the lower slope of the hill. "You got them out, of tours'!?" he continued. Barnes stared at him one moment. Then : "Take churge. Smith," he said. "I'm going to see about them." He spurred his horse and rode off at full gallop. He dared not think It might be Nesta. In their cabin Nestu and John were sleeping. John stirred In his sleep and muttered. Nestu heard him, but she did not know that death was upon them. A hand pulled at her shoulder. She muttered drowsily. She opened her eyes. Barnes was standing over her. but In her benumbed stnte it occa sioned no surprise. She felt herself lifted in his arms. A moment later, and Barnes was dash ing away to safety, and, when Nesta came back to consciousness, they were safe over the river bank, and on the opposite edge wa san Inferno of flame. "John 1 John 1" he cried, at last un derstanding. But Barnes was already gone. She waited In an agony of suspense. Then out of the forest a horse camo plung ing, and on Its back were two fig ures. One was Burnes, and before him, upon the saddle, swathed In a smolder ing blanket, and supported by Barnes' arm, was John. Neither man was badly hurt. The blanket had pro tected John, tho-igh he was still stupe tied by the smoke, but Barnes' hair and eyebrows were scorched, and his clothes were tinder. As Nesta ran forward Anderson opened his eyes. "Nestu !" he murmured feebly, and clasped her In his arms. Burnes turned quickly away. He knew that he hud utonOd. and that the hell of his heart was quenched In the waters of self-control. Still, he did not want to let John and Nesta thank him. The Ruling Passion. "Fore," yelled the golfer. The lady who wus lu his way paid no atten tion. Three ninety-eight," he yelled.

CKXTS FOR A SIIIXH Stories of Service: A couple of men met In a shoe-shlnlng placo re cently, and tho talk coon turned on high prices. "I don't mind a high price for a service that Is worth a high price," said one, "but I don't know of any thing that makes me so mnd ns to bo compelled to pay five cents for laundering a collar." "I used to feel pretty much the same way about It," answeted the other, until one day when I happen ed to ba talking on this same sub ject In this very place. "When our shoes had been shlned we not only paid ten cents for each shine' but each of us gave n nlckle as a tip to each of tho boys. "As we stepped outside both of us thought of the same thing at the same time, and we couldn't help but laugh. Here we ihad been klckln about paying five cent-j for the ser vice a public laundry renders In laundering a collar, and the very next moment had paid 15 cents for a shine without giving the matter anj- thought at all. "We took a few moments to an alyze the two kinds of service. We brought our own shoes to this placo The laundry sends an auto truck to our homes for our collars. A couple of hundred dollars represents 'the total .equipment of this shoe-shining place. More than $200,000 repre sents the Investment of a laundry like the one which I patronize. "It took this boy who has to de pend on tips for the greater part of his wages about three minutes to shine my shoes. The laundry calls for the collar, washes It, starches it Irons It, wraps It up carefully and then delivers it back to my home a n operation involving several hours of time and charges me only one-t.hlrd of what I willingly pay for a shine." The other man held up his hand. "That argument licks me," he said. "Here's where I quit kicking against paying five cents for laun dering a collar. I suppose I ought to be thankful that the price isn't any higher." Send them to the Barbourvllle Steam Laundry and do not kick about the price. Adv. BAPTIST CHURCH S. S. 9:30. Follow the crowds.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OWNS UP TO ITS AOK Tho First National Bank Is just twenty j'ears of nge and lias re ceived Its new charter which ex tends its activities up to May 4th, 1942. The hank was founded bj- a num ber of prominent citizens, John O. Matthews being Its first president and Win. Locke Its first cashier. 'Ti!ic population was about 800 to ' 1.000 when tho bank was founded; I now It Is over 3.000. Tho next pres ident was Judge F. D. Sampson, at tho present time one of the Judges of the Court of Appeals for Ken tucky, with Robert W. Colo elected cashier In 1907. Congressman J. M. Robslon was elected president In 1910 nnd held the office until 1922 when Robert W. Cole was elected president with V. E. Mc Nell cashier. The First National Bank has been a great power for good In the com munity and lias contributed very largely to the growth of the com munity. Among the projects that It has fathered is the endless chain pig club, the pure bred poultry club and the pure bred bull club. All these things have helped to bring about a better class of stock and of poultry In Knox Countj which we feel assured, has affected the pros perity of the farmer and Uiru hltn the community at large. The Importance of local banks li not sufficiently recognized as real builders of n town nnd county. With out their assistance many projects which make for better times and which' give work to our people would die (or lack of capital did not the local banks step In and furnish the necessary money to carry them along to success. It is a truism that to succeed Is to go into debt and It Is largely the banks to whom men go to borrow money wherewith to carry on their business. The banker Is neither a grouch nor a money-grabber. On the con trary, he is a very human person who wishes every man to succeed and Is always ready to lend money for his enterprise to the upright and honorable man when there is a chanco to make a business go. Its many friends wish the best of prosperity to the First National Bank during the next twenty years of Its new charter and for many years after that. It has a fine record for generosity and .helpfulness to ward its city and county. Long may it prosper. Advertising? If it Is results you want you should use this paper.
