The following to the West Plains
Journal is worthy of reproduction in
every paper in Southeast Missouri. 1t
tells the exact truth in a straightfor-
ward way that cannot be misunder-
stood or doubted. Fruit-growing is
the theme:
l came here from California in the spring
of 's4 without money, or health, and with
family Of four to support. I entered a
homestead of 81 acres with no improvements
and went to work.

IA acres of apple trees and aim to set out II
more acres this spring. l have pa acres of
raspberries, and Z acre of grapes. About
400 of the apple trees will bear this spring.
What country could 1 haye gone to that
would beat this: 1 have travelled all over
California and found nothing could engage
in that wonld near come up to this.
1 have regained my health and this is
worth more than anything else. Anybody
can do as well as have done. If man can
do this without money, what could he do with
two or three thousand dollars aud the same
energy: / say it is the best place for man
without money, and il it is good place for
a man without money then it surely is a good
place for man with money.
Forty acres of the rocky upland in Howell
county, if it is level enough to plow, set to
apple trees and well cared for for eight years,
will clear more money than 200 acres of the
finest farming land in the United States when
put in grain crops.
Land here can be bought for small sum
if bought at once. l have written this for
the encouragement of new corners. Energy,
perseverance, and health will accomplish
success. Many fortune has been lost by

The political following of Judge
Noonan appears to be growing with
startling rapidity, and there is now no
doubt that he will play All important
part in the roaching campaign.
The friends of the Judge have their
coat off, and it is more likely that
they will land him a winner on uomi-
nation day. The elements behind
Noonan are varied and of pecuilor
power, and the Republicans cannot af-
ford to ignore him, should he be chos-
ell as the Democratic racer. He is a
great worker, and the men who fight
his political battles are bound to him
with hooks of steel. 1t will not do,
therefore, to name as his opponent a
man who will have to depend for his
election upon the Republican majority
of last November. Give US a man
around whom the people can rally,

There is quiet a discussion among our

the state should publish text books to be

of text books is an item of expense that

The oleander with its rose-colored

know that the oleander belongs to the

this. In Madrid, few years since,

In the south of Italy and Spain, the
scraped rind of the tree is used as a
rat-poison and to drive away noxious
insects. In both. b.countries, the locali-

malarious. In northern Africa, where
they lend an especial charm to the
scenery along the banks of the rivers,

eral Of the smart ones, who had not been
placed aon the Revision Committee, seemed
to think that everything would go wrong
without their guidance, and were having
great deal to say that, when boiled down,
did not amount to anything in the way of
practical business. The Senate was not so
badly at sea as the House, for Senator Sam
Major was so prompt and explicit in explain

excuse was left for the kickers to keep up
their tactics of obstruction, In the House
the absence of a leader, or the presence of
too many would-be leaders, was apparent.
Mr.. Silver, the young member from Cole,
appeared by his position on the Revision
committee to be the person who should be
able to command the forces, but the task
was too great for him. The facts are-the
Democrats are not united, but are showing
a jealousy of each other which we consider
very reprehensible; while the Republicans,
acting under caucus dictation, appear to
have nothing to do but obstruct. They act
as if it was their duty to make the session as
odious as possible, knowing that the Demo-
cratic majority Will have to stand the re-

Mrs. Mary Fiske, for many years a
valued contributor to the Missouri Re
publican, over the signatures of an. {.
III. B." and IN. H. F." died in New
York last week. She was gifted and
elegant writer. At her funeral were
gathered many friends-some of them
of eminence and distinction. Several
addresses were made. We copy the
concluding beautiful remarks OF Rob't
G. Ingersoll:
She wrote as the stream runs, winds and
babbles through the shadowy fields, that
falls in the foam of flight and haste and
laughing, joins the sea. A little while ago a
babe was found-one that had been abandon
ed by the mother, left as legacy to chance
or fate. The warm heart of Vary Fi>ke,
now cold in death. was touched. She took
the walf and held it lovingly to her breast
and made the child her own. We pray thee,
mother nature, that thou wilt take this
woman and hold her as tenderly in thy arms
as she held and pressed against her generous,
throbbing heart the abandoned babe. We
seek no more.
In this presence let us remember our
faults, our frailies and the generous, help
full, self-uenying, loving deeds of Mary Fiske.

1t was during the wars that ragged from 1862
to 1860, between Frederick Ill. of Denmark
and Charles Gustavus OF Sweden, that after
battle in which the victory had remained
with the Danes, stout burgber of Flensburg
was about to refresh himself, ere retiring to
have his wounds dressed, with draught of
beer from wooded bottle, when an implor-
ing cry from wounded Swede lying on tue
field made him turn, and, with the very
words of Sydney-"Thy need is greater than
mine" he knelt down by the fallen enemy TO
pour the liquor into his mouth. His rCqutal
was pisto-snot in the shoulder from the
treacherous Swede. Rascal p he cried, II
would have befriended you, and you would
murder me in return Now will punish
you. would have given you the whole bot
tie, but now you shall only have half" And
drinking off half himself he gave the rest to
the Sweae. The king, hearing the story,
sent for the burgher, and asked him how he
came to spare the life Of such rascal.
"Sire," said the honest burgher, 81 could
never kill wounded enemy" "Thou merit
est to be noble" the king said, and created

arrow. The family only lately became ex-

Ready in Answer.

Camp meeting" John Allen was always
ready with retort for friend or foe, some
times scathng, and always humorous. After
his conversion, he met un old minister, who
piled him with very searching questions as
to the genuineness of his experience, and the
young man complained of the severity of this
catechism
"Ifthe tree be well rooted" said the minis
ter, lit will not be harmed if we shake it,"
But" said the convert, 1.-THE Master said to
his disciples, Feed my lambs, not Go shake
them"
AT another time when Mr.. Allen was about
to begin his sermon in new place, a former
pastor said to him:
"Are you long preacher ?"
Five feet seven inches" was the immediate
reply.
AT meeting of ministers, Baptist was in
vited to give his views on the subject OF
Methodist economy, and at once rose saying
that although there were many excellent
things in Methodism, it seemed to him TO
have too much machinery.
Mr.. Allen was on his feet in moment.
"The Methodist church may have more
machinery than the Baptist, che replied, "but
it dosen't require as much water to run it."
A lawyer Of opposite politics said to him,
about the same time, "Mr Allen, on which
side are you going to vote tor shall vote
against you"
"On the right side" was the answer
(which side is yours"
One morning at II Methodist camp meeting
a young man arose, and said, pompously:
II do not believe in singing oh, to be
nothing propose to he something, and
want people to know it,"
Brother Allen instantly rose, and repeated
the verses
"lf man thinks himselfto be something
when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself
But let every man prove his own work, and
then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone
and not in another"
the question of ambition was not discuss
ed further that day.
