How Governor "BOb" Stewart Got Even.
An old citizen, a gentleman of high social
and official standing in st. Joseph, tells q
story of the famous Missouri governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to the letter, proves
that fact is stranger than fiction

was working my way on a steamboat. At n
point where we had to wood up i didn't carry
as big load as some of the roustabouts, nor
move with that agility that the others did,
for was not strong, and had been tenderly
raised. The mate became enraged at my
slow movements on the gang plank, and he
gave me a kick and sent me ashore and con-
fiscated my buffalo robe as payment for my
passage to that point. l never saw that mate
again until I had been inaugurated as gov
ernor of this great commonwealth of Mis-
souri,.
"One day, wandering through the wards
and districts Of the penitentiary, saw that
mate working at forge. He had been sent
there for killing, in a passion, man under
his command | knew him instantly, and |
directed the warden to send the man TO the
gubernatorial mansion in the garb Of gen
tleman When the man arrived | took him
into my private office and asked him if he
recognized me. He replied that he did not
Said l. DO you remember one time, and at
such and such a place, of kicking a boy and
sending him ashore who had been working in
your gangP
''The man said: NO, l don't remember it,
but it is very likely that did it,
"'Well,' says l, Il am that boy and here is
your pardon. 1 always thought 1 would get
even with you
"The tears came TO the old mans eyes, and
he said: We'll, governor, to be a mate in
those days a man had to be a dog
"'You played well your part l said.
Now, leave here, and don't let me see you
again.
GAS he made his exit gave him an able
bodied kick, and little Bob Stewart had got

A cross between half dress ana business
dress is the three button, one piece cutaway,
Of rough light goods, with patch breast pock-
cts and side flaps. All other business suits
are made sack fashion. With a sack coat,
as with a cutaway, a fancy waist and an odd
pair Of trousers may be worn. Sacks arc
looser this year, with wider backs
For half dress nothing seems able TO shake
the hold Of the cutaways. The three button
coat is the better model for summer, though
the four button one is coming into favor
again. The tendency this year is toward
rolling fronts, cut much lower. Some Of
them show the silk Innings as far as the but
ton holes. All sorts Of light colored stufs
are used, az well as thin dark goods. Fancy
waistcoats may be worn with either three
buttOner or a four buttoner.
