It. o. Goodson of Carrollton cele
brated his eighty-sixth birthday last
Saturday. Goodson is one of the pic
neers of Missouri, and came to Mis-
souri, when the state was in kits.
Judge Ray, late of the state su.
preme bench, has been every i'll at
the family home in Carrollton for two
weeks past. The democrat says the
judge is now about over the danger

w. T. Graves has again taken
charge of the Blanchard Blade.
Graves is man of great energy, and
moves almost quarterly. With Graves
as a grinder, no doubt the Blade will
become sharp enterprise.
"A. w. Florea, representative in
the thirty-sixth general assembly for
Nodaway county and assistant speaker,
will leave the farm next week. He
will sell all his farm machinery and
make bis home in Maryville.
Jake Child arrived at home at
Richmond Saturday last. He was
met at the depot by brass band, the
Odd Fellows and several hundred
small boys. Later a great feast was
spread at the WATSON House and Mr..
Child Grated in his usual sparkling
manner. He left Siam Feb. l, and
made quick trip.
CDR. Dorsey of the Braymer
Bee saws that Harrison will be the
nominee in 1892. Dorsey
is shrewd politician. He has been
a farmer, doctor, preacher, lawyer
and editor, and of course has wide
range. But Dorsey does not say
who the democrats will nominate,
nor does he say who will be elected.
Tell the whole story, doctor.
1.-THE county papers are ringing
with the praises of United States Hall
the Alliance leader. According to
the intelligence bureau, now at work
in splendid order at Jefferson City,
We learn that Hall is the son of a
noble sire, and a nephew of the late
Willard Hall. This is
net all. Hall is an orator, a man of
brains, and the owner of 1 800 acres

AN OCULIsT HORsEWHIPPED.

St. Joseph, Mo-, April %. DIR.
w. G. Boteler, an eye and ear spe-
cialist and a prominent citizen of st.
Joseph, was horse.whipped yesterday
afternoon by DR.. II. Barton Pitts,
also an eye and ear specialist and
prominent citizen. The affair has
caused great excitement throughout
the city. 1t seems that in the morn
ing farmer came to st. Joseph to
to consult DR.. Pitts. On the way he
lost Pitts card, and, seeing DIR. Bote-
Ier's sign, he went to his office and in
quired where he could find Pitts.
DIR. Boteler claimed not to know him
at first, but finally said: "Oh, yes, |
do know him he is horse-thief and
ex-convict who has just come out here
from Maryland and hasn't yet lost his
stripes"
SIN that case" the farmer replied,
81 ought to have no trouble in find
ing him."
He then went to Pitts office, and
told him what had been said. DIR.
Pitts is from a fighting Virginia fam
lily, and was very wrathy. Purchas.
ing heavy horsewhip, and taking DR..
E. S. Garner with him, he went to
Boteler's Office. DR.. Garner held the
door, and Pitts approached Boteler,
saying:
"You don't know me, / believe" at
the same time knocking him down
and striking him with the whip. DIR.
Boteler drew knife but was pre-
vented from using it. He has caused
a warrant to be issued for the arrest of
Pitts and Garner. DR.. Boteler has
practiced in Northwestern Missouri
for ten years, and DR.. Pitts for about
six years.

There was a railroad accident, and a
poor farmers wife was taken out, bleed
ing and unconscious. The doctor and 8
kind woman were working over her
when her husband came in and stood a
moment, looking on in disturbed silence.
His cheeks were drawn in. his eyebrows
lifted, his hands in his pockets.
Presently, with some effort, he cleared
his throat to speak, and as the doctor
looked uphe asked, sfYe didn't see a new
tin dipper lynn round where We picked
her up, did ye?"
He got no answer from the indignant
doctor, and presently strayed out again
in search of his dipper.
Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes
and at once asked for her husband.
"He's safe" said the doctor shortly. She
felt his curt tone, and faint as she was
she OWNED what it meant. "He's .
dreadful feelin' man." she said. "but he
don't never say much"

worrying the Elevator Conductor.


The decoration of elevators has be-
come quite an art in some of the down
town office buildings. One of the pio-
neers in this work has transformed an
elevator in the New York Life building
into a sort Of japanese bower. He says
he has to spend most Of his life there,
and believes in softening the asperities
OF labor with attractive surroundings.
While he easily holds the lead in this
sort of fnery, others Of his kind have
done very well. The nabob of one
caboose down town who is always
on the lookout for fancy prints and gew-
gaws, and who had rather stretch his
legs and contemplate the luxury of his
apartment than carry passengers, was
presented the other day by a tenant of
the building with M of the fancy cards
inscribed, you press the button and we
do the rest" He was SO much pleased
with it that he made it a central decora-
tive figure for the rear wall of his eleva-
tor, bordering it with rosettes and a
framework of gilt.
His tenants admired it, commented on
It's fitness for such a place, and praised
his taste in framing it. After it had
been up a day or two it was noticed that
a black linein ink had been drawn under
the words "the rest" Another line soon
appeared there as mysteriously as had
the first. Then came a third and a
fourth, and then some one further en-
phasized the words by drawing a ring OF
ink around it. The elevator artist was
IN a great stew over it for several DAYS,
for the decoration was too handsome to
lose, and he could not take it down with
out spelling his wall. At last, with rub
Der and metal eraser, he obliterated the
discriminating word, lines and ring, but
only to the increase of his discontinue,
for his tenants now read the sign. "You

Length and Breadth of London.

The metropolitan area of London ex-
tends over some twelve miles from north
to south, and some seventeen miles from
east to west; within this space thirty
nine governments so rule the houses,
roads, drains of their three millions and
three-quarters of subjects that for the
last ten years the death rate has been
only 225 per 1000, or but 1 per 1000 in
excess of that of the whole country. In
the seventeenth century it is believed
that the deaths exceeded the births in
London, and the death rate was then
about 10 per 900, or more than double
what it is now, and higher by far than
the mortality rates Of the unhealthiest
cities of Europe today.-London Tit-Bits.

selling Strawberries at a Profit.

There are tricks in all trades but
ours" said a retail grocer TO me recently.
sYou wonder how it is that we are able
to sell strawberries at less than they cost
US and still make money. It'll puzzler
to the u~ninitiated, isn't it: But after all
it is simple enough when you know how.
For instance, | go down to the mar
ket and buy a crate of Strawberries for
thirty cents a box. Now my trade is
not rich enough to pay me even thirty
five cents a box, and at less than that /
make no profit.
well, l take those berries and empty
them out of the boxes. Then I take a
nice piece Of white paper, which is much
cheaper than Strawberries, and drape,
as it Were, the box. Then I take the
berries and arrange them very carefully
in such a way that all that are any way
touched with decay go to the bottom and
only the fine, ripe, sound ones are In
sight. By leaving plenty of space
between the berries, except the top layer,
I have no difficulty in filing two Of the
draped boxes with the contents of one
of the original, and then they look much
richer and more appetizing and sell
better.
when this is done, out they go in
front of the store marked twenty cents
a box, and before l know it they are all
sold, netting me a nice Little profit. I'll
had tried TO sell them in the original
boxes at tlirty-fve cents I would have
had a good many left on my hands to
spoil.
why, some of the bigger dealers in
green groceries and fruits keep a man, at
a good salary, simply to repack goods.
and it pays well."-New York Herald.

There Is No Death.

There is no dee. The stars go down
To rise upon 10 fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine for eyermore.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer show.
To golden grain or mellowcd fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks d~isorganize,
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewiess air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall,
And flowers nay fade and pass away:
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There is no death, An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away;
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all d~esolate;
He pluells our f~airest, sweetest flowers;
~Transplante1 into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The birdlike voice. whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Around the tree OF life.
Where'er he sees a smile too bright.
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears il to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them the same
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
Tor all the boundless universe
Is life-there ara no dead.

There stepped a dainty dame,
And looking up AID down the place

What Might BE Done.

What might be done il men were wise
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother.
Would they unite,
In love and right,
AND cease their scorn Of one another.
Expressions heart might be imbued
With kindling drops Of loving kindness.
And knowledge pour,
From shore to shore,
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare. lies and wrongs;
All vice and crime might die together:
And wine and corn.
To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect.
In self respect,
And share the looming world tomorrow.
What might be done? This might be done;
And more than this, my suffering brother
More than the tongue
Fer said or sung,
II men were wise and loved each other.

And the little dimples out and in

A song for the eyes of faded light,
And the cheek whose red rose waned to white:
The quiet brow with its shadow and CLEAN,
And the dark hair dropped in a long, deep

The small hands crossed for their churchyard
rest,
And the lilies dead on her sweet dead breast.

Who have lost nothing: they are poorer far
Who, losing, have forgotten: they most poor

There runs a thread of gold that glitters fair,
And sometimes in the pattern shows most

Where there are somber colors. 1t is true
That we have wept. BIT oh. this thread OF
