THE CASHIERS DREAM.

At midnight. in his lit le bed
The cashier dreamt about the time
He'd clean the bank of every cent
And seek some other cline:
he saw the vaults ali clean and bare,
He heard the sick Directors swear
And people bowling on the stair
For wealth they'd never see.
He saw the experts try to fix
The sum he'd taken out;
He saw the TT umphs of his tricks
And gave happy shout.
The wealth was ali in his valise-
The dust. the chink. the soap. the grease
And therefore he could smile in peace
And take his onward way.
But ho!d-a changci He saw a man
With looks of black despair
Come up and join the angry clan
And stamp around and swear:
He said he'd spend at least year
TO hunt and find that thief cashier,
And then he'd smash him on the ear
Because his wealth was gone.
He saw this man. like keenest hound
Take up the trail and hunt;
He tried in vain 10 dodge around,
The man came 20 the front
He caught the cashier. and he broke
His head in with a wagon spoke
And then the bank cash er awoke
And said he would reform.

CHEAP MONEY!
QUICK money!

Being aware of the annoyance,
and sometimes less to borrowers,
by having to wait weeks and
sometimes months for mOney,we
have organized q company with
sufficient cash capital to enable
us to cash mortgages as soon as
the papers are executed, and as
We pass upon all loans here in
stead of having to send them
East to be approved, We can COM

Cellars are usually damp because
the walls are cooler than the air. which
causes condensation of moisture. To
prevent this condensation of moisture
it is recommended that the windows
and doors of the cellars be closed

person to decide when the work was
completed according to contract. But
the contract did provide that should
deliver the deed or return it without
any order or action on the part of the
court. Therefore, when the time ex-
pired examined the work myself.
The examination convinced me that
the contract had not been complied
with, and decided TO return tie deed
to the court when it should convene
and get rid of the responsibility NV
self and throw it onto the court. for IL

Then Mr.. Houck's r. r. COMPANY
brought suit against the three Judges
of the county court, the connty clerk
and myself and served injunction on
me preventing me from returning the
deed to the county court, and therefore
I have it yet. The object of this suit
is to have the deed delivered sto the
Railway company. The defendants

Morrison to defend the case; and this,

to wit:
We considered it very important

OF land which it IS said Mr.. Houck has
already contracted to sell for Forty-five
Thousand Dollars. We thought MIR.

case to and therefore selected him as

HATTON'S ANSWER!
A Complete Refutation Of Houck's Charge

A Complete Refutation of Houck's Charges.
To the Public
Since I became a candidate for Rail-
road Commissioner, the Cape Girnr-
deau Democrat has denounced me as
an "unsavory" candidate and a cor
To sustain this charge it
states that friend of mine whom 1,
along with others, have employed as
an attorney was once employed by the
Cape Girardeau Railway Go. to get an
extension of time for it on contract it
had with Wayne county to drain q GER
tain swamp and build a levy, and that
while SO employed by it he induced it
to pay him an exorbitant fee by rep
resenting that he would have to divide
that fee with me. It also states that
this same attorney at an other time
represented to said railway company
that ! would deliver a certain deed TO
it for $1,000. And the Democrat seems
to want to make it appear that am
very bad man, because l have claimed
this attorney as friend and employer
him as an attorney since it was SAID
that he made these representations
about me. The attorney alluded to is
Mr.. J. N. Morrison of Piedmont, Mo-,
and have to say, as L have always
said. that if there were ever any such
demonstrations made by him or any
one else, they are absolutely false. But
did he make them?
The Democrat refers to petition
and disposition on file at Greenville to
nroye that he did. It does not state,
however, that that petition and deposit
ton are both the production of Mr..
Louis Houck. alone. But they are; and,
with me, here is the point in this mat
ter: Mr.. Houek, and Mr.. Houck alone,
says that Er. Morrison made the above
representations to him as the represen-
tative of the railroad company. Mr..
Morrison empha tically denies under
oath that he ever made any such rep
reservations.
IT is therefore q question of veracity
betsreer those ttUo men as Uhether the
representations 0ere eUer made at all
or not. And if they were made at all
ought not to be held responsible for
them, because / did not authorize
them And no one claims that did. ]
Of course, if had believed what Mr..
Houck said would not have retained

Mr.. Morrison as friend or EMPLOYED
him as All attorney. If thought MIR.
Morrison had made the representations
I would not countenance him for a
moment. But did he 10 it? He says
he did not. Mr.. Houck says he did. I
must believe one and disbelieve the
other. The circumstances surrounding
the matter led ME to believe Mr.. Nor
rison. They are as follows:

Devotion.

'Tis said if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face.
I cannot tell how it might be
In other homes, but this ] know,
Could my loved darling com to me,
That he would never find it so,
Oft times the flowers have come and gone,
Oft times the winter winds have blown,
The while his peaceful rest went on.
And have learned to live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part,
But whether grave or whether gay
l hide his memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blest my way,
And friends are round me true and tried,
They have their place, but his to-day
Is empty as the day he died.
How would I spring with bated breath,
And joy too deep for word or sign,
To take my darling home from death
And once again to call him mine.
I dare not dream the blissful dream,
1t fills my heart with wild unrest,
Where only cold, white marbles CLEAN
He still must slumber; God knows best.
But this know that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place
Have never hungered day by day
Through wears and wears for one dear
face. NJ. L. r.

two BOTTLES Of his stuff prepared from rO0ts and
herbs, and have never had twinge Of Eheuna-

Hunnicut for his friends: About six months
ago it was determined to place it upon the mar

portant and would readily admit of
an interesting description, but we
will notice one separately. The
first of these divisions, beginning at
the east, is the Unaka Range,and is
the greatest of all the Appalachian
ranges. One portion lying midway
between Virginia and Georgia,
presents the greatest mountain
mass to be found anywhere east of
the Mississippi. Many of its
peaks reach height of 5000 feet
above the level of the sea, and for
days are concealed in the clouds.
They command the most magnifi-
cent views. Many beautiful and
fertile valleys and coves nestle
amid the grand ranges; and not
withstanding their massive charac-
ter, rivers intersect the Unaka
Range in deep, grand cuts, often
with cliffs on both sides rising hum
dreds of feet in height, the waters
dashing over rocks in long and
roaring rapids. Owing to the cold
of the elevation some of the high
SUBMITS of the Unakas are treele IS

summer for pleasure seekers; yet
they are covered with grasses,
ferns, and small shrubs, some of
which belong to a far more north
ern cline than is found in the val
leys below. The cool air and
grasses attract herdsmen with
their cattle, and in July and Au-
gust the more desirable SUBMITS
are alive with stock of almost all
kinds.
Tennessee is not the mountainous,

of the five remaining are there

ceedingly fertile. We would not
exchange our East Tennessee
mountains for any portion of North
Carolina; they are treasures of vast
riches in minerals and timber of al

fine pasture lands, of which no

esque in their holiday costumes,
and the women in bright sashes
and hair ornamented with flowers
and golden balls. They wandered
about in groups enjoying the lovely
day and summer warmth. Good
fellowship reigned though but little
conversation was carried on, and
that low-toned and simple. Down
in the valleys We're peasants at
hard labor, quite dull prose after
the dream of peace we had been
contemplating.
And yet these gentle, simple peo-
pie seem content, standing all day
knee-deep in mud and water in
their rice-fields; running full-speed
with five rickyshaws for many
hours, wiping off the perspiration
from their faces which would run
into their eyes, or throwing off the
straw.shoes as they are worn
through, painting like hunted deer,
they never complain. Dragging
heavy loads like horses along the
streets they hasten that they may
get still more work to do. Women
with the universal baby strapped
on back bear loads also on heads
and hands, and 60 on, smiling.
From the rising until the setting
sun, with slight intermission, they
lean over their tea, stirring it with
their hands. All, they are warm,
they are weary, but there are little
ones at home. And here, as we see
them going back from work, here
are the children meeting them.
Here are the babes taken weeping
to the weary arms and warm hearts,
and many little creatures from four
years up drop themselves upon the
pavement for rest after the burden
has been taken from their backs,
but make no complaint. A few
cents only for their days work, but
it is enough to buy all the rice the
family will need.
They sleep the sleep of peace on
their mating beds on the floor
after the light meal is over. They
rest and arise refreshed for the
morrOw's labor.
They have their faults; they
have their virtues, too.
These are the poorer people,
Above them are educated, or par
TALLY educated Japanese, in some
ways much improved by civiliza-
ton. They are anxious to learn,
and the morning of a bright day
has dawned for Japan.

Rain plenty; farmers in the
weeds; can't plow in the corn; if
the wet weather continues the crop
will be failure.
The wheat crop is mostly in the
shock yet, and I presume will be
damaged; some good fields here
this year.
Fertilized crops will be full as
usual; indeed, it is already a FORE
gone conclusion that unless the
farmers apply commercial fertiliz-
ers they cannot grow wheat and
grass with any degree of certainty,
and the sooner they adopt this sys-
tenn the better for them.
