AN ADVENTURE.
4 0odalia Lady Taken Tor Susan
b. Anthony.

Last week two ladies from Sedalia, Ms
Snedaker and Nm. NcAnulty were visiting
Hannibal. Mir Susan B. Anthony Va
announce to lecture there, and the inhabit'
ants were on the qxi rire 70 zee tht
champion-es Of voman's rights.
One day - Mn. Snedaker and McAnulty
were shopping, the latter seemed to attract
. great deal of attention in the street. Fin.
ally Mrs. McAnulty went into . store and
Mn. Snedaker waited for her on the outside.
A'crowd had assembled intently gazing At
the door through which Mn. McA. had dis
appeared, until one person approached Mrs.
Snedaker and asked:
"Who IL that lady that Was With your"
"That lady il Mrs. McAnulty, of Soda.
liza" replied Mrs. S.
"Are you certain it Is not Mis Susan B.
Anthony 2" asked her interrogation.
Mn. Snedaker assured the individual
that the object Of their solicisude was
Nn. McAnulty when she left Sedalia,
and to the best Of her knowledge and belief
she was yet. Unless she had been suddenly
transformed BY some mysterious agency.
But the people Of Hannibal were not to
be misled BY such . thin suhterfuee a. that.
They knew better. They knew tia: dis
tinguished portly stranger was the celebrated
Col. Susan B. Anthony. The ladies moved
on, and 20 did the curious Hsnnibalites
after them, and in the course Of their walk
entered q photograph gallery. Here the
crowd came, too, gazing long End earnestly
At Mrs. McA. with eager interest.
This lady had began to notice the great
curiosity and interest she had aroused, and
wondered what on earth made the Hanni-
balites follow her around and stare at her
no. Mn. Snedaker then Informed her that
the people of Hannibal would have it that
she was Susan b. Anthony, and hence their
curiosity.
Tie ladies had hearty laugh over the
mistake, and one of them remarked. shat
BAzco will be sure to get hold of this!"
And sure enough it did.
