I'm awfulIy sorry for poor Jack Roe;
Hes that boy that lives with his aunt you
know,
And no says his house Is filled with gloom
because II has got no mothers room"
tell you what, it IL fine enough
To talk of boudoirs" and such fancy stun,
Hut the room OF rooms that seem best TO me,
Tho room where III always rather be,
Il mothers room, where n fellow can rest,
And talk OF the things his heart loves best.
wbatif do get dirt about,
And sometimes startle my aunt with shout
II IL mothers room, and II she don't mind.
Toth hints OF others I'm always blind.
May be I lose my thipgs-what then ?
In mothers room I find them again,
And I've never denied that litter the foor
with marbles and tops and many things morc'
But tell you. for boys with tired head,
II Il jolly to rest Il on mothers bed.
Now poor Jack Roe, when he visits me,
take him TO mothers room, you see,
Because It's the incest place TO go
when a fellows spirits are getting low.
And mother she's always kind and sweet,
And there's always a smile poor Jack TO
greet.
And somehow the sunbeams seem TO glow
Moro brightly In mothers room. know,
Than anywhere else, and you1 never ind
gloom
Or any old shadow in mothers room.

A case illustrative of the custom of
marrying and giving in marriage m the
rural districts was heard in Limgr ok
court. John Hayes, with two other inrn.
went to Mrs. Ryan's house, and an agree.
ment was entered into that Hayes should
marry Mrs. Ryan's daughter. He was TO
get marriage portion, $3.50, and the
marriage was TO take place on the follow
ing Sunday. In the interim defendant
obtained $3.50 TO cover the expenses. but
when the guests were assembled for the
wedding breakfast, he quarrelCd about
money, broke OIL the match, and Quilted
the house. A few days later he married
another girl with q larger portion. He
returned a part OF the money loaned. and
as set of to ths claim put in a bill or
an entertainment which he gave for Mrs.

A Large Crop OF Peaches In Prospect.


New York Times.
Peaches are about to attract the atten
tion Of most of the fruit dealers. There
will be very large crop this season. The
peaches will come to our market from
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and New
York in great abundance. There are some
peaches In every orchard and upon nearly
every tree in the four states, while many
Of the orchards are very full. The fruit
growers Of Delaware and Maryland, where
the greater quantity OF the peaches are
produced, have made extensive arrange
ments for drying great quantities of this
fruit for the past several years. All who
have dried their common fruit have found
for IL ready and profitable market among
the West Indian and South American
shipping merchants, and the capacity of
the peninsula evaporatoTs is sufficient TO
dry fully one-tbird of the production OF
the peninsula. In all probability the yield
Of the peach crop on the peninsula this
season will be upward of 0. 900, 900 bask cts,
OF which amount over 2 900, 900 baskets
will be sent to this market, and more than
that quantity should the prices realized be
greater than now anticipated. Quite n
good many Early Hsles and Early Beatrice
are coming from Maryland now, and quite
week from Delaware, but so far they have
been very inferior in quality, and arrived
here in poor condition, and as neither Of
these varieties Of peaches have any merit
save that of being early, their presence in
the market is felt by the fruit dealers to
be detrimental to the interests of the fruit
trade, and the wish is general that the cul
tivation Of these peaches would cease.
Then the peach season would open with
the little Troth's Ea:ly, n small free stone
dry peach, Of fine keeping qualities and OF
excellent flavor such a peach as tempts
the appetite, instead of Dauseating, as
Hale's Early does. The first of Troth's
Early will not reach the market from
Maryland before next week, and those
people who await their coming before buy
ing their first peaches Of the season will be
richly repaid for the waiting.

A Uh,,d inst Drank,

A Paris physician got into great scrape
lately by declaring that a young lady Of
seven, and belonging to family Of respeo-
liability, drank. Another doctor was
promptly summoned and said the same
thing. Tho parents were in despair and
incredulity. They said that their daughter
actually disliked vino. "Watch her
carefully" said doctor No. 2 and few
days later mamma caught the victim of
the mysterious malady at the eau de
cologne bottle.

SCHOOL BOOKS.
What the Sedalia School Board
Says Concerning Them.

A reporter called upon the various men,
bers OF the Sedalis school board to ascer-
lain, ii possible, what would be their prob
able action in regard 10 the selection of
school books for the next FIVE years as re-
quired by law. Nearly all of them were
seen and each expressed the same opinion,
"that no action, whatever, would be taken.
The result of which they say will be to
continue the present series Indefinitely and
to leave the board free TO act In the event
the legislature shall make any changes in
the present law. The members of the
board were also unanimous In expressing
the opinion that the present law was very
defective, its only merit being the five year
clause, which gave a sursease to the con-
tinuous agitation OF the matter.
The Objectionable features, however,
were very numerous.
First, lack of uniformity throughout
the state, or even In counties, caused much
confusion, and necessitsted a complete
change OF books whenever a family re-
moved their residence beyond the range of
the schools in which their children had
been in attendance.
Second, it places the matter Of text books
under the control of publishers and permits
outrageous extortions.
Third, it prevents the booksellers from
being able to purchase in large quantities
from any one publisher, and compels them
to keep small lots from numerous houses,
thus increasing the cost to the consumer in
order to save the retailer.
Professor Culley and a number Of other
teachers were also seen and expressed like
views.
Tie booksellers also made the same COM
plant, and so far as Sedalis is concerned
there seems to be no difference OF opinion
as regards the desirability of a change in
the present school law. AS to what thai
change should be there was difference Of
opinion, some maintaining the state should
tske toto its own hands the preparation and
publication of the books, and others that q

tendent, number Of school commissioner:
