'GoING AVA FOR TIE SUMNER

Just now is the season for "going
somewhere" for the summer. In the
opinion of a great many people any
where except home is desirable as a
summer resort. Some betake them
selves to the mountains and live for
two months or more in frame hotels
supplied with the most meager and
primitive conveniences, feast on canned
goods OF uncertain age, climb a noun
tain peak or two, fish q little Tor the
trout that never bites, hunt for chip
hunks and mountain jays, spend a big
amount of money, and imagine they
have escaped the unpleasantness Of hot
weather, and have enjoyed life. Others
20 10 the lakes, room in attics at fash
ionsble boarding houses, take a few
boat rides, bath a little, pay enormous
prices tor the least conveniences, fight
the myriads of mosquitoes and poison
GUS flies of the lake shore, come home,
some f%retful, insect bitten, sunburnt,
and tell how they have escaped the
terrors OF Q Missouri summer. Every
body that 10 able to do so thinks he
must "get away for the SIMMER" Yet
Missouri is not a bad place TO pass the
| summer In, and u Missouri home is not a
| very uncomfofta kle place TO spend any
sort of season q. When we betake
ourselves TO the mountains oil the lakes
or the sesshore we surrender a great
many more comforts than We will lind
even under the best OF circumstances
and for the expenditure of a large
amount of money. Now the truth is
the Missouri climate in sumner is jusl
about as comfortable as can be found
anywhere. The records show that not
more han fifteen days in any summer
are uncomtortably hot, and these, for
lunately, do not all come together.
Our prairies are this hOme of the breeze
and the pleasant zephyr is always out
taking a little exercise. There is al
ways about the average Missouri home
some cool, inviting spot where the
shade is dense and the sun never
reaches, where hot days may lose
their tcrrors, and there is always al
airy place where sleep deies the suitry
night. Then there is the perfect
abandon of home life and the utter alb
sence of coH~yentionality 50 trying IN
times of physical discomfort. One can
wear his old clothes, reyel in slippers,
roll on the grass, follow the shade
around the elm trees, take off his dig
nifty as he would his winier underwear,
loll, smoke, inhale the perfume Of mint
beds, draw the drapery of his mosquito
dreams and The music of the lowing
kline, the growing rooster and the
croak of the lusty wind mill, with
nobody to modest or make him afraid.
Pshaw! this thing of going away from
home TO find comfort tor the summer
mouths, is the sheerest nonsense. No
where are the breezes fresher, the grass
greener, the milk richer, the butter
sweeter, the fruits bigger, the lawns
prettier or the voices OF the brooklets
attuned to a sweeter melody than here
In Missouri. II you want comfort,
solid comfort, comfort that ~rejuvenates,
that restores wasted muacle, brings
back mental balance, that makes oas
better, more cheerful and more useful,
stay at homs. A Missouri home is the
best place in America TO spend the
summer months in. Stick to IL. Don't
be q fool.

SHERIFF ORANMER.

Last Saturday evening Thomas G..
Cranmer, sheriff of Cooper county,
entered the BoOnville Jail to supply the
prisoners with supper. One Turing
ton, alias West, an escaped convict
from Tennessee, suddenly produced a
revolver and ordered the sheriff TO
throw up his hands. Tom Cranmer
wasn't made of that sort OF etutf, aud
instead of complying with the order he
reached for his own weapon and fired,
but the convict had the advantage and
fred, his ball passing through the
sherifi's wrist and side, and into the
kidneys, causing death on Sunday morn
ing at 6 O'Clock. burlington escaped,
but was soon recaptured and escorted
back 10 Jail by nearly two thousand
people.
Tom Cranmer died, like the pilot al
the wheel of Il burning boat, in the dis
charge OF his duty. There was no lack
OF courage or manhood. There was no
show of the white feather, nor shrink
ing from the inevitable. He faced
death, as he had faced ii on many Il
hard fought battle field, with all the
consciousness of Il solemn duty to per
form. The fats were unprOpitious in
precipitating the end by the hs-f\of II
worthless, co wardly cur, to We wkhe
sheriff had been particularly kind, but
il was all the same~t3 Tom Cranmer.
He was not afraid of death, no matter
In what form it came; and so, all DUR
ktSg that Saturday night, while his hun
dreds of friends were dc manding the
life OF the murderer, the dying sheriff
comforted his family, gave directions
for the settlement of his affairs, and
then sent word to the waiting crowd
that IL was his dying wish to have the
law take its course.
Tom Cranmer was a brave soldier, a
patriotic citizens, a faithful public Off
Ger and q sincere Christian.
No wonder the whole city of Boon
Vile walked IN silent sorrow behind
his co9in; no wonder that men, women
and children shed tears at his grave,
and that the minister's words were
half-choked by grief, Sheriff Cranmer
had spent his lie among them. Boy
snd man, he had shown the happiest
OF dispositions had developed the trucst
of characters, and had gone in and out
of the community with a reputation
spotless in its purity and integrity. He
had served them during two important
sessions of the legislature and had
more than realized the trust reposed in
him. He had been foremost IN every
public b%enefaction, and had many
times shared his last dollar with the
poor.
Tom Cranmer had no worldly pos
sessions. Just a great heart, a tireless
body, an active brain, supreme conf
dence in God and the love of his neigh
bors. But twas enough. He had that
which sometimes passes all understands
ing-charity; and with this and his
spotless lite he stood always ready for
the dark ferrypan of the Styx. Death
came to him in violent and sudden
form, but If eyer a man was prepared
for it, Tom Cranmer was. And there
will he jewels in his crown OF everlast-
ing life when the Judgment day shall
come; the jewels of honor, integrity,
devotion TO duty and Christlikeness.
