ful vase of red carnations surrounded

more than fifty languages. He could
entertain his English friends with
specimens of the Yorkshire dialect aud
bis French or Gerinun visitors with
the patois of their respective coun¬
tries. "Dear me!” exclaimed Lord
Byron, to whom this was told. He
ought to have been the custodian of
the tower of Babel!”

THE COVINGTON NEWS
May Stewart
One of the largest theatrical ven¬
tures in the history of Covington
has just been made by the new
management of the Opera House
in procuring the distinguished
young artiste, May Stewart and
her excellent company for Satur¬
day night, March 13, in an elabo¬
rate production of Shakespear’s
delightful comedy. “As You Like
It.”
This company had an open date
but could not be secured without a
very large guarantee which is more
than the receipts of the house has
ever been for any previous at¬
traction, and while the manage¬
ment may not hope for any revenue
from this performance they will
have the consolation of knowing
they have furnished the most ex
pensive show that a Covington au
dience has enjoyed.
In speaking of the performance by)
of “As You Like It,” given
May Stewart in Paducah, Ky., the;
News-Democrat said, “the annual
opening t>f ‘The Kentucky’ last
night was a grand success from a
of point the of attraction. attendance Miss and the May quality Stew¬ j
art in the Shakespearean Comedy
was all that she had been heralded.
She posessed grace, beauty and
power. All these in the highest 1
degree and her acting brought re- j
peated applause from her magnifi- !
cent audience.”
“This was Miss Stewart’s first
appearance in Paducah but she has
won a warm spot in the hearts of
the patrons of “The Kentucky.”
The whole cast was well balanced,
and the management is to be con¬
gratulated on securing such a fine
attraction for it’s opening num¬
ber.”

This is a question which will naturally lead you to believe that our impression is that there
are some homes in this city and county where the happiness and contentment is not what it
should be. I have been in business here for the past twenty years and my observation is that a
home where contentment reigns supreme is generally the ones furnished with that class of furni¬
ture recognized to be the most elegant, no matter bow low the cost or how humble the home.
It makes no difference whether you want to put a thousand or a hundred dollars in your house
furnishings 1 have a line that will at once appeal to the artistic taste and also give the best wear
and look good the longest time. In fact, I make the assertion that my stock of furniture is the
best, most complete, durable and lowest priced of any house in the county. AH I ask is for you
to come to my place and look it over. W e will make the terms to suit you and give you the
best values you can get anywhere.
Bear in mind that happiness and contentment will almost invaraibly be found in the home
furnished from this mammoth stock, which includes everything in the furnishing line.
