Saying Disagreeable Things

From the Boston Courier.
Nothing is easier than to say
dissgreeable things, and there are
people who labor under the mis-
taken opinion that there is nothing
more clever. 1t was one of those
mortals who was asked not long
since wha. was the age of q maiden
lady of his acquaintance.
"I do not know" he replied, 81
have never studied archaeology"
AS fate would have it, the lady
in question CHANGED to overhear
him.
"And yet you remember" she
said, with suspicious smoothness
in her voice, "I have heard my
mother say that l was born the
first year that you were old enough
to bring home the washing"
The retort was cutting, and the
passage not over-refned-the fact
that the man was most anxious te
conceal his origin giving sting te
the words in which the other tool
her revenge; but the woman was
on the whole to be blamed least.

COMMITTEES of the Northeast
Missouri Millers' Association and
the Millers' and Farmers Alliance
met in Moberly Thursday. VIM.
Pollock, OF this city, was there
and made a rousing speech on the
importance of closer union be-
tween the farmer and the miller,
as their interests were identical.
He also advocated general cash
system in dealings of all kinds,
whether they be between farmer
and merchant or farmer and miller,
for thus the merchant can sell
much cheaper, when he doesn't
have to make the good payers pay
big prices to even the losses from
bad debts.

A Queer State of Things,

A burglar in Boudy, France, got
into the rooms of two men while
they were absent, and, fastening
the door from the inside, prevent
ed them from getting in when they
came back unexpected. The police
sent for the village locksmith, but
he, very strangely, could not be
found, SO they burst open the
door just as the burglar got upon
the roof Of the building. He was
seen and pursued down the street
and into a canal. The shock oil
the cold bath made him uncon-
scious, and he died in short time.
When they had washed from his
face the black with which he had
disguised himself the riddle of the
village locksmith's whereabouts
was solved. He was the burg lai

A few days ago the New York
World printed a census of children
in two representative quarters Of
that city, Fifth avenue and Cherry
streets. In 800 families living on
the former street there were found
ninety-one children under 10 years
of age of whom six were born in the
past twelve hours. In Cherry
street, which appears to be an
abode of the very poor, 800 families
furnish $50 under 10 years and Ill
under year of age. There is no
doubt that this represents in some
degree the general truth that the
poor are the more prolific and that
wealth is an enemy OF childhood.
But the contrast is not entirely
fair, for the reason that compare
lively few persons can afford to
live in a street like Fifth avenue
until period Of life when their
families are for the most part
grown up. A truer test could be
made among well-to-do people in
less pretentious streets.

An Incident of 1862, Wherin
Some of Krekel's Command
Figured COnspicuOusly.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Mo-, March 13.-
Twenty-eight years ago the 18th of
March three promising young men
were killed near here. In 1852
Capt. Alf Payne and Judge Under.
wood were organizing two compa.
nies for the Confederate army near
Madisonville in Rails county. The
measles broke out and several sick
men were sent home, young Smith,
Mercer, Hoffman and Will Jack
son being of that number. When
they arrived near where Judge
Griggsby now lives they were halt
ed by Lieutenant Hubert, of Kre-
kel's gang, who demanded of them
where they were going. The boys
replied, "Sick soldiers going home. -
Ordering his command to surround
them Hubert told them plainly he
would have to kill them. Telling
them to dismount, Smith and
Jackson obeyed. Hoffman inquir-
ed if they were going to shoot
them like dogs, at the same time say
ing, II will save myself if I can."
He spured his horse swiftly over
the prairie, followed by Lieutenant
Hubert, with pistol in hand, firing
as he persued.. They run half a
mile before a shot took effect.
Hoffman, thinking he had dis
tanced his pursuer, turned in his
saddle to look back when a shot
struck him near the eye, dismount-
ing him. Smith and Bill jackson
stood their ground and died facing
their captors. A militia man q
could call his name) put a pistol
under Jackson's chin and fred, the
ball coming out at the top of his
head and killing him instantly.
Smith was shot in the forehead
and killed. They then ran a saber
through his body after he was
dead. The dead bodies of the
boys were left where they fell. The
federals then went to Russell
Wells' house and told him what
they had done, ordering Wells to
hitch up his wagon, go after Hoff-
man and bring him to the house.
He was still alive. Wells was
then told to send for DIR. Alex.
Crawford, who would not come, he
| thinking it was plan to take his
life. DR.. A. F. Brown was then
called, who arrived at 2 O'Clock, p.
M, ard examined the dying boy.
There was no chance for him to
live and in few moments he was
dead. They then arrested ]. w.
Hoffman, father of young Hoff-
man, Jno. J. Sutter, Jno. ]. Smith,
father of young Smith, and Nick
Smith, brother of the dead boy,
and "Uncle" Billy Wells and took
them to Wellsville and put them
in prison for having boys who
wanted to go to the Confederate
army. OLD RESIDENT.
