POOR OLD MISSOURI" ;"

From the Saline County Democrat.l
Probably 10 state has been more per-
sistently miSrepresented and lied about
than Missouri. SO outrageous are the
ISLANDERS which partisan cnmity have
circulated concerning our state, that
many persons coming into it from the
east expect TO find the native born Mis-
sourians All ignorant and vicious lot of
blackguards and ruffians.
Yet the fact is that there is less crime
in Missouri than in any other state in
the Union. AT recent term of the
circuit court of Clay county, s'the
home of the James Boys" the presid-
ing Judge in his charge to the grand
jury said:
"Gentlemen OF the jury, have now
been t"rtv-tive years connected with
the courts of this country, first in
praclicing law; then as circuit attorney
| i'll this circuit, running then from the
| Missouri river 20 the Iowa line; after
ward as judge, the Office | now mold.
There IL, at this term of this court, in
Clay county, what | never saw before
| i'll any county, viz: IA term of court
and no criminal docket. This is no
fault of our clerk, but it is because of
county. 1t is nothing against this
county that there are Il few petty
cases here on change of venue from
another county. Clay has no criminal
cases on docket. Moreover, there is
no one awaiting trial, as am inform
ed. Neither is there anyone bound
over to appear before the grand jury
just impancled."
AT Il recent term of the Howard
county curcuit court there was almost
an absence OF litigation OF any kind and
not single jury was impaneled during
| the term.
This is the kind ot a "crime stained
commonwealth Missouri is getting to
be, and at the same time the daily press
is filled with the narrowing details of
"mobs' and "lynchings' in the 'tcul-
chaTed' and ''pwogwessivc" states of
Iowa and Kansas.

HICKS PAsHA.

A lad of seventeen, who was with
the Egyptian army under Hicks
Pasha, was an eyewitness of his death
and gives this account: clicks Pasha
and the very few English officers lett
with him, seeing all hope of restoring
order gone, spurred their horses and
sprang out of the confused mass OF
wounded, dead, and dying. These
officers fired their revolvers, clearing
space for themselves, till all their am
munition was expended. They killed
many. They had got clear outside
They then took to their swords and
fought till they fell. Hicks Pasha alone
remained. He was a terror to the
Arabs. They said he never struck a
man with his sword without killing
hIm. They named him Abou Deraa
Donegal, the heavy armed (thick or
brawny). He kept them all at bay
but he was struck on the wrist with {
sword and he dropped his own. He
then fell"

BY CECIL LORRAINE,

but q dream-yet still see
The Witching beauty Of your face SO fair,
watch ag ain the light that never dies
Upon the yellow glory of your hair.
| gaze into the eyes that wrong ht my woe,
The gray eyes flashing meath their heavy
fringe,
watch the hue that glOws upon your cheek,
The sweetest rosebud knows no fairer tinge.
And yet tits but a dream-the face lov'd
Will, perfect, lie no more against my own,
The heart has ceased to beat for me, and YET
My love has never, never weaker grown.
How we can love! If woman only knew
The pow'r she holds to work US good or Ill,
The happiness and pence her smiles may
bring,
The sorrows that her voice has pow'r to still
Surely she could not prove to US unknd,
Surely she would not win us to betray!
Knowing that she can give US life or death
And turn our darkest night into bright day
Swell forgive you-tho' your lovely face
Breaks in upon my lonely, unlov'd rest
l have no pow'r to judge-I love you still,
AlthO' you broke the heart within my breast

A TOUCHING THOUGHT
From the y. \. World.I

"a sad sight-a very sad sight !"
was the remark of an elderly gentle
man who stood just inside ST. Thomas
two collins containing the bodies of
James IL. Rutteb and his wife were
borne in and placed in front of the
chaucel. Yet, why sad? There is al
ways mournfulness about death, al
though il is the irrevocable doom of
all who live. But is there not some-
thing touchingly beautiful in the
thought that those who have gone
through long life together as hus-
band and wife preserve their union in
death, and are borne TO the grave as
they left the altar-sidc by side?

A Legend Beautiful.

IL. N. Matthews in Chicago Current.l
Twas thus the Dervish spske: ''Upon our
right
There stands, unseen, an angel with pen,
Who notes down each good deed of ours,
and then
Seals it with kisses in the Masters sight.
Upon our left sister angel sweet
Keeps daily record of each evil act,
But, great in love, folds not the mournful
sheet
Till deepest midnight, when If conscience
racked,
We lift to Allah our repentant hands,
She smiles and blots the record where sht
stands;
But if we seek not pardon for our sin.
she seals 1t with tear and hands it in"

Would be the pretty sunset sky;
Instead of blue, the sky be brown-
If all the world were upside down.
II all the world were upside down,

And stars the fields and gardens grace
The ground, of course, would be sky

The Wsll.Drssssd woman.

The well-dressed woman again knows
lot only what to wear, but when to
wear it. In the summer forenoon you
will see her in the simplest of cottons,
dress absolutely plain and without
ornament, without laces, fringes, decora-
tion Of any kind. In the winter at the
same time she is equally plainly dressed
in cloth. Later in the day she changes
to smarter clothes for more ceremon-
ious duties, visits. afternoon parties,
and teas-velvcts and silks combined
in winter. in summer rich gauzes and
costly laces. In the evening, for din
nsr or ball, the most choice and splen-
did masterpieces of the dress makers
art are reserved; the richest
stuff set off with the most ell
aborate embroleries and the rarest
jewels. But withal. even in this
the last gorgeous stage into which the
modern chrysaiis has developed, osten-
tatious display is scrupulously avoided.
