What a Woman Can Do.

She can say ''No," and stick to 1t
COR all time. She can also say mo"
in such low, soft voice that it means
eyes" She can sharpen a lead
pencil if you give her plenty Of PEN
ellis. She car dance all night in a
pair Of shoes two sizes too small for
her, and enjoy every minute Of the
time. She can pass display win
dow of a draper's shop without stop
ping-if she is running to catch q
train. She can walk half the night
with a noisy baby in her arms with
out once expressing the desire to
murder the infant.
Jhs can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-fVe years after the
marriage ceremony has taken place.
Jhe can suffer abuse and neglect for
wears, which enc touch of kindness
or consideration will drive from her
recollection. She can go to church
and afterwards tell you what every
woman in the congregation had on,
and in some instances can give q
FAINT idea of what the text was. She
can look her husband square in the
eye when he tells her some oock-and-
bull story about being detained at
the office" without betraying in the
least that she knows him to be q
colossal liar.
She can-but what's the use? A
woman can do anything or every
thing, and do it well. She can do
more in . minute than . man can In
an hour, and do it better. She can
make the alleged lords bow down to
her own sweet will, and they will
never know it. Yes, woman can
do everything with but one excep-
tlon-she can not climb a tree.

From Kansas.

THE following letter is from Ante
lope Ridge, Comanche County,
Kansas, September z, but was
crowded out last week.
Thinking perhaps you would like
to hear from native of Charlton
county, and from this part of the
world, / Will give you few items.
We left Charlton county August 8 {;
came through Saline, Pettls, johnson
and Cass counties in Missouri, We
saw some Of Missouri's best land.
Having good crops, the people we're
in good spirits. We came through
Southern Kansas by way of Kingman
to this place. In Kingman we had
the pleasure Of meeting number of
persons who were formerly citizens
of Charlton county, among whom
were some of our old neighbors.
They all seemed satisfied = and con-
tented. From Kingman We came
west through Platte and Edwards
counties. Here again is some of the
finest land our eyes ever beheld. We
are now situated in Comanche coun-
ty, about three miles from the Ed
wards county line and six miles from
the line Of Ford county. We are
within six miles Of AfulIinsylIle, sltu-
ated in the southwest corner of Fd-
wards county, on the survey of the
Sante Fe Railroad, running from
Kingmap to Dodge City. 1t is
thriving village for it's age Zone
month old) having three stores and
a boarding house. We attended Sab
bath school this morning, and had a
good attendance, although we have
to regret the absence of the fair sex.
We hope ere long some of them will
bless our community with their pres
ence. If we could see some of them
in old Charlton whom we readily call
to mind, it would be a treat long to
be remembered
In conclusion, I will say to the
young men of Charlton county and
elsewhere in Missouri, if you have
good home and are satisfied where
you are, remain there. But if you
have no home, in the language of
Horace Greeley, "Go West and
grow up with the country. We have
a glorious country to begin with, and
with brains and muscle to develop it
will, in the near future, become i'm
mense. We have ordered the Cour-
ier sent to US, and you may guess it
will be welcome visitor.

THE POLITICAL MAUD.

Ben Butler, on summers day,
Stood in convention making haY;
The hay was sweet and the hay WAS dry,
But wasn't as cooked as old Ben's eye,
For old Ben saw on a geljing gay
Judge Nomination riding that way.
When the Judge saw Ben in the hay at
work,
He stopped his horse with sudden jerk,
And he rolled his eyes on the winsome face
And the buxom form and the airy grace,
And the wealth of cheek and the mesh of
hair
ofsweet Ben Butler working there.
"Oh," signed the Judge, 'that the fate
were mine,
To wed with such a creature so divine!
With Ben for mate my life would seem
Like poets song or an artists dream;
But when they heard of my marital pick.
How like steer my folks would kick
So, fearful of what his folks might say,
Judge Nomination rode away,
And left Ben Butler standing there
And his wealth of cheek and his mesh of
hair;
And all sad words of tongue and pen
The saddest are these, "He wouldn't have
Ben"

From BynnmVnIe.

Sreing in your paper of August
20 clipping from the Post-Dispatch
slanderous, as 1 take 1t, of the party
of which / am a member, and as L am
impressed with the belief that in the
matter of news, social or political,
you strive to be honest, / write you
and ask space through your paper
for a vindication from this vile cal.
umnation.
The P-D. said the alliance between
Blaine and Butler is drawing closer
so rapidly that long before the cleo
ton 1T will be plainly evident that
that the whole Butler movement haA
been absorbed in Blaineism.
The above assertion is so plausi-
BILE, and given with such seeming
honesty, that to the uniformed
voter it would appear as truth in
vulnerable. To those wh0 are in
formed regarding the matter, 1t is a
vindictive lie, with letters patent on
its face.
What are the truths in the prem
ises?
First-The National party, which
is termed the Butler movement by
the P=D., has entered the fight as an
independent factor in politics.
Second-The National party rec
ognizing the Republican party as
dominant in the fight as against the
Democratic party, it is making the
onslaught from press and rostrum
against the dominant party; and as
proof of this we have only to refer
you and the P-D. to the consolida-
tions now going on between the Ma
tional and Democratic organizations
relative to fusion electoral ticket in
the following Republican States,
viz: Maine, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan. Iowa, Kansas,
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1884-09-26
A Retrospect.

Imagine George Washington goins
to the polls at his home in Virgins
in 1870 and dodging a vote on &
State constitutional amendment.
Imagine John Adams stepping ur
to the town house in Quincy, Massa-
chusetts, in 1890, and sneaklng away
without voting on = State constitu-
tional amendment.
Imagine Thomas Jefferson, OF
James Madison, or James MoDroe,
in 1910, waiting till the women who
might have been interested in State
constitutional amendment had gone
away from the polls and then cow
ardly failing to meet the question
submitted.
Imagine Andrew Jackson, of Ten
nessee, in 1880, afraid to say eyes"
and fearful to say "No," on a ques-
tion Of State policy.
Imagine Abraham Lincoln, of nli-
nols, in 1860, keeping himself housed
up until half an hour before the poll
closed, so that his moral cowardics
could have no adverse effect on the
vote of the rest of the State, and
then shrinking ballot on an amend
ment to his State constitution.
Imagine Ulysses S. Grant, in 1864,
letting I dare not wait upon 1 would
and cravenly running away from q
question submitted for the decision
Of the electors of his State.
Imagine James G. Blaine. Of
Maine, in 1884, walking up to the
polls like man and casting his vote
aggressively for the cause which, by
word-when it was politic-he has
advocated for twenty years past.
Imagine these things-it can't be
done. 1t is impossible from the very
character Of the men we have named.
You can not make hero out of
poltroon.
The man of Maine, who got oat of
a back window to escape Mr.. Buffers
wrath at his violated pledge; who,
on his knees, begged for Mulligan's
mercy; who gave and then broke his
word Of honor that ne would return
letters belonging to another who
can evoke a convenient sun-stroke
whenever the exigencles of his
ways demand, is not to be
on question which, how
ever he decides, will lose him votes.
And so he dedges. And so he
sneakes into the poll at the last mo-
ment and votes not at all on the |
question. o! most aggressive and |
Blaine campaigners, here
are aggresSiveness aud energy for
you. o! most moral managers of
the party of great moral ideas, here
IS moral courage for you. He has
net the enemy and-it is a drawn
battle. Lo! the straddIlng hero
comes. Sound the trumpet; beat
,he rums.-~Alhany Argus.

the same end. And yet the P-D.
affirms the opposite.

the same end. And yet the P-D.
affirms the opposite.
To prove that the P-D. is wantonIy
prevaricating, 1 ask you only to look
at the summary squelching Of pro-
posed Republican fusion on the cleo
toral ticket that was offered at the
State National Convention at Kansas
City, August 20. But the glorious
old P-D. said that the Butler move
ment was going to be absorbed, and
last, but not least, as far az princi-
pie goes, has the Blame element of
Charlton county vet aborbed the Ma
tional party here.
And yet absorption is rapidly GO
ing on. One would think, to see the
two tickets, National and Republican
in the field in this county, with lines
definitely drawn, that political alb
sorption was new element in chem
istry. The supreme fact now appar-
ent to the public eye is that the Ma
tional party does not absorb, but
that it has appeared upon the politi-
cal arena with definite and dlstlnc-
tive principles, and Notwithstanding
the P-D., with a whole coterie Of
liars at its beck and bid, it (the Ma
tional party) has come to stay.

Very Remarkable Recovery.

so helpless that she could not turn
over in bed alone. She used two

much improved that she is able now
to do her own work. Electric bitters

The policy that produces and
maintains in the federal treasury a
surplus of over $4,000, 900, 900 is an
unnecessary burden and destroys
our industries. To it more than all
else is attributable the business
paralysis Of the present hour. This
money comes from the earnings of
the people, and if it were now back
in the channels of trade and the pol
icy that produced it were reversed
every artery Of commercial, finan-
clai, mining and manufacturing life
would throb with renewed energy.
It would stimulate enterprise and
give employment to labor. A redun-
dant revenue, an overfowing treas
ury, new vaults required to hold the
surplus moneys, continued taxation,
thousands of workmen idle, strikes
and lock-outs, depression in business
how strange the contrast, how IA
tuitous the policy that produces it.
