WANDERING OF A PARAGRAPH. A iKentucky Yarn that Galled Forth all the HUMorlists' 'Efforts. Mreporter on a Louisville newspa Per rote a few weeks go a harmless QU'story and his paper printed it th*e.next day. It tol( of a Kentucky m wIho had been asleep for twelve Years that time the pleasant. bit of 1has beenl eartlng bread and r people all over Nortli Amer Us we read several days after N!g1wa publislied: 2 nian in Kentucky has been relfor,'twelve years. Wlenl lie waIkes h-sh1ould )be assured of a Ie rme. i job as jurymani.' Chicag .ad that u). In fact most of the Ci..ago paI)rs commented in one way orliother upon the sonino lence of the nX5tucktan. The St. Jo 1, Mo., paragraph man handles it thus: ''Down in Kenvcky a man's been asleep twelve years. Won't le be mighty glad to find out all his debts are outlawed.'' Somebody in Denver has evidently had experience in Kentucky, beause the next time the newspaper waif shows upl) it is ill a Denver paper tihus disguised: 'A veteran Kentucky eitizen has been sleeping twelve years. Probably only snoozing off a real, old time Kentucky jag." A spirit of envy may have inspired the next text on the subject. It comes from a New Orleans paper this way: "A Kentucky man has been buried in a sound sleep for the last twelve years. Most likely he started in to read one of Marse Henry Watter son 's editorials.'" Hot oil tlie heels of this unkind cut comes tie deliberate insult of a De troit newspaper: ''See that a Kentncky man has been asleep for t welve years. Don't blallie him. That's about all there is to do nowadays if you have to live in Ken tucky.'" There is probably some allusion to local conditions in (Ihis paragraplh from St. Louis: 'A Kentickian of some standinr -as been lasleep for tile last twelve years. In all likelilhood the gentle man is (ead an(d some of those hiajhly efficient ambulance surgeons have made one of tiheir usual hurried diag noses of his ease.'' Still hurrying on its way, the scrap of intelligence slips into a Columbus, 0.. editorial rvoom, where the nan takes it' and hiturls it back inl thlis shape: 'Tre~~'s a man, in Kentiuky whio's been aslep t r wel ve years. As long as lie keeps W- eves shut and lies still it's all ri.,,ht. Ie's a blamed sight honester than . a lot of o0hetr Kentuick ilnns whoi. have beell walking-, aro1-iund Soun1d asle,ep f I f. wiee t welve years.'

J. REYNOLDS T tucky man has been asleep for twelve years. He probably came in at :3 a. in., too muddled to make excuses to his wife, and now he's simply side step ping the morning after explanation1s.' When the cineinnati writer starts in we see how far a man dare ieach after a pun: ''That Kentucky cbap who has beenl quietly sleepiig for the last twelve years must have filled himself I ill of 'still' whiskey.'' Pittsburg shows it still maniages to keep tin eye on literary affairs: 'A Kentucky man went, to s1eep twelve years ago and lie's asleep yet. This shows is the terrible effects of reading one of the Henry James's no vels.'' The handIfing of the theme in Cleve ,lan1d Shows i tendency to get gay with tle Police. The paper says: 'A maii in Kentcky has been for twelve years. This naturally brings upl) the plerinent query, ''lWhy isn't he on our police force?'' TARHEEL BRILLIANCE.
