PAPA SAID NO.
A Married Man Makes a Mash
on a Beautiful Boon
vile Belle.
The heroine Of This Story ia Well
known In Sedalla, and Many
Persons Will Recog-
nize Her.

There comes story of love from Boon
Vile that would interest several memt ers
of Sedalia society il they knew the names.
But the reporter is under solemn promise
20 not divulge names, and an honest re-
porter was never known to violate his
word oil honor. Therefore the story will
be written without namts Ii is thus:
A handsome, intelligent man of Howard
county, who was alre: dy married, and 10 a
grass widow at that, formed the scquaint-
ance OF one of Boonville's lovliest maiders
He represented himself TO be single man,
and his addresses were reciprocated. His
admiration increased to passionate love,
and the young lady saw in him her future
happiness-(that's what she said). His
visits 10 Boonville were frequent, and
he spent days and nights in telling his de-
ceived lover how charming she was, and
how much be loved her All this time she
was ignorant that he was married man,
and responded to his affection with all the
ardor OF true, copfiding lover.
But the father of the young lady was
skepticsl, and could not believe the fellow
worthy OF his daughters devotion. He
discouraged the visits and demonstrated
with his daughter, but sne could find hap
piness only with the man from Howard.
In defiance of her fathers wishes she would
receive him in her parlor. Apprehending
serious results, the father determined
that the courtship should cease, and
If mild measures would pot avail, he would
resort to desperate me .hods. He resolved
that the man should not b. caller at his
house, and he carried his intention through.
One evening, not many moons sgo, ard
when SedslIa society young lady was
visiting the BoonviIle lady, this married
man from Howard came on one of his Wis
Its. He called at the house and was bling
entertained by the ladies, when the father
entered and, in a commanding voice or
dered the gentleman TO get a move on him.
self. He invited him 10 take a WALK ard
close the door behind him. The fellow
obeyed the command and vamoosed.
After he had gone, and the storm of
wrath and Indignation had subsidized, the
Boonville belle threw hers. Ii into the en-
brace of Ter Sedalia visitor. and exclaimed:
81 love that man dearer than / do my
self. Oh, what will | do?'
The Sedalia lady chided her for being so
infatuated, and promised her that if she
would come TO Sedslia she would find
dozen men as true. handsome and wealthy.
The lady took consolation. She came to
Sedalie and found the knights. She is now
popular star in society circles of Boon
vile and Ssdalia, and her visits here are
frequent and welcome. Even The report
smiles as she passes by.

garment in National elections.
Whatever may be the result of the
campaign this fact is noticeable
and will not be forgotten. We do
not concede that the Republicans
are entitled TO the least credit in
this matter, for circumstances
have forced them TO conduct, not
an aggressive, but a defensive
campaign. If Blaine's record were

as to the remedy to be applied to
