How a Missourian Cot a Promise.

Dan Morris Of Poplar Bluff. now deceased,
was known throughout the country as a splendid
sportsman, hunter and fisherman, says the St
Louis Republic He was the proprietor of
hotel and became so popular that he was elected
to the legislature from Butler county in 1884,
He took great delight in relating how he once
saved General John A. HockadaY from a watery
grave. The general was a candidate for the
democratic nomination as governor In 1890
against Crittenden and Marmaduke, and in the
course of his campaign he reached Poplar Bluff
and stopped with Dan Norris After bis poll
tical business had been attended to he confided
to Dan that he would like to catch
a few hundred pounds of bass out of
Hiring a small boat Dan aud the general
went out on the river, the boat being padded
by Dan in his usually reckless manner The ex-
Attorney General becoming uneasy over the
situation, explained to Dan that he couldn't
swim & lick and begged that he be more careful
he even went so far as 10 hint rather broadly
that Dan didn't know how to manage the boat.
This nettled Dan. who upon reaching a shall
low place. deliberately upset the skfff Gen
Hockaday yelled for help as soon as he struck
the water, and Dan. standing on the bottom
waist deep, grasped the candidate for governor
IN MS arms and swore great oath that he
would save him or perish in the attempt. The
general chung to his preserver with desperation
and in order to keep up the deception Dan was
compelled TO squat down and occasionally push
his victims head under the water as he walked
toward the shore. Reaching the bank Gen.
Hockaday shook the water from his clothes and
said:
"Col. Morris, you have saved my life. Ask
what you will, and I'll try to get it for you"
Thank you, General, " said Dan with a great
show of modesty, Il have only done my duty.
and that without hope of reward. But if you
insist upon it, would like to be either Adiutant
General of Missouri or Coal Oil Inspector of
st. Louis. fancy that either would be in my
line -
Say no more, Dan. When am Governor of
Missouri come and see me-"
But the General didn't get the nomination
Dan Morris went to the Legislature, though,
and afterwards passed to his eternal reward.
Gen. Hockaday is now Judge of the Second
judicial Circuit, composed of Boone, Galloway,
Howard and Randolph counties But he still
holds Dan Morris In grateful remembrance,

At Last He Was In It.
From the Detroit Free Press.

They built fine church at his very door
He wasn't in 1t.
They brought him scheme for relieving the
poor
He wasn't in it.
Let them work for themselves as he had done;
They wouldn't ask help of any one
If they hadn't wasted each golden minute
He wasn't In it.
So he passed the poor with naughty tread
He wasn't in it;
And he scorned the good with averted head
He wasn't in 1t.
When men in the halls of virtue met
He saw their goodness without regret;
Too high the mark for him to win it
He wasn't in it.
A carriage crept down the street one day
He was in it.
The funeral trappings made display;
He was in it.
st. Peter received him with book and bell:
my friend, you have purchased q ticket to
well,
Your elevator goes down in a minute"
He was in it.

Hustling the guests of a banquet off in
police vans is new way of bringing an en-
tertainment to close with practical
joke" peculiar to the Chicago and Philadel-
phia registering clubs. That's the way the
Whitechapel Club Of Chicago wound up a
spree with the Clover Club of Philadelphia
as their guests. Rudeness Of the most pro-
nounced character seems to be the test of
merit and joviality in these organizations.
Transgression Of all the established usages
of polite society are SO essential to fellow
ship in those organizations, and their noto-
riety is so exclusively based upon that sort of
conduct that it is not altogether pleasant
to know that their membership is made up
largely of journalists.

To say the least, the New Jersey judge
who Is prosecuting Long Branch editor
for contempt Of court exhibited exceedingly
bad taste in trying the case himself when
the alleged contempt consisted only in pub
fishing charges impeaching the personal in~
tegrity of the judge. If the charges were not
true, then it was libel. There lay the offended
judges legitimate remedy. Prosecuting the
editor for contempt in a court over which
he presides is tantamount to an acknowledge
ment that the charges are true. It's rather
a queer procedure,

says the Omaha World Herald. even though it
is at his own expense, and he tells this one with
q relish:
Mr.. Keighan has been candidate for con-
gress before. Early in the campaign of 1880, at
an interior town, the 'hero of tie sod house,
met an old colored woman who knew him years
ago. The old woman greeted the judge cordially,
almost affectionately, and exclaimed:
We'll, honey, Use right glad to see ytze:

having big honor trust pom youseS'
"Honors thrust upon me- Holding Office 'i
