The bayonet is said to bavo de-
rived its name from tue fact that it
was first made at Bayonpe, aud its
origin illustrates the proverb, No
cessity is the mother OF invention
A Basque regiment was hard press
ed by the enemy on mountain ridge
near Bayonne. One of the soldiers
suggested that, as their ammuniliou
was exhausted, they should fix their
long knives into The barrels of their
muskets. The suggestion was act

was made, and the victory Of the
Basques led to the manufacture OF

SHE TOOK HER CHOICE.
Charles E. Kee is a Kind, Afec-
tionate Husband and Father
Mrs. KEGS Letter.

There was published in this
paper q few days ago on account OF
the criminal exploits of Forrest
Marion, together with brief his
tory of the boys parents. 1t will
De remembered that it was stated
that Mrs. Charles E. Kee, of this
city, was an aunt of the boy and
that young Marion had robbed her
husband of over 5000. This norm
ing, Charley Kee, the Chinese
laundryman, brought a communi-
cation to this office and requested
it's publication. He confirmed the
LEDGER's account of the Marion
boys theft of the money, but said
there were slight mistakes in the
article that he would like to have
corrected. When referring to the
stolen money Kee became very
angry, and in response to an in
quiry as to whether he had recover
ed any of it, his wrath arose, and
Jumping to his feet he exclaimed,
in very good English.
"Not one d-n cent did I get
back !"
The communication brought to
this office was written by KEGS
wife. The chirography is good,
indicating that Mrs. Kee is a fairly
well educated woman. The letter
is as follows:
To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-Forrist
Marion was not born in this town,
but in Galloway county, March 3,
1873. AS for robbing my husband,
he acknowledged opening the
trunk with a shoe buttoner and
taking five dollars, leaving the
balance of the money unmolested;
but while in jail he acknowledged
taking 5000, also a pair of cuff but
tons made of gold pieces. He said
he had the money buried in an old
tomato can. For this theft he
served six months in the jail at
Chlllicothe.
I am only a half aunt Of his,
being a half sister of his mother.
He has a cousin who ran off from
home sometime ago and went to
Kansas City with him. The other
day when he came back here he
took him and went to the woods
and stayed all night to avoid arrest.
[ think he is one of the worst boys
I ever saw. He has a sister living
in Kansas City, and a brother out
here in the country a few miles,
living with a man by the name Of
Turner.
Yes, [ married a Chinaman, but
he is an exception. I had my

Upon entering the store, the visitor
is struck with the rich display be-

enhancing in its loveliIess. The
following incomplete list will give
the reader an idea of what this mag
nificent stock is composed:
Gift books in fine bindings with
out number, miscellaneous juvenile
volumes, massive plush goods,
oxydized silver goods, brass and
bronze ornaments and novelties by

plaques, improved dictionary
holders, vases, books for presents,

all imaginable shapes, sizes, color
and finish, box papers, toilet cases
magnificent ones) manicure cases,
infant sets, smoking and shaving
sets booklets the latest novelty, by
the way, and collection ofinstruc.
tive and wonderful toys for the
children.
For Christmas novelties without
end Sallee's is the place to go. Do
not fail to drop around and inspect
the stock. The location is well
known--in the Kabrich Opera
Block.

Prof. Ii. H. Staub has charge
of the dogs and ponies of the
Equine Paradox, now exhibiting
at the Opera House. His skill and
kindness with the animals please
his audiences. We remark with
pleasure that the dogs all seem to
like him and that he avoids any
acts of cruelty toward them. This
is d decided improvement on most
shows of the kind-where the
terror of the animals indicates
what they have gone through and
their daily experience in the pro-
cess of training.
