MISSOURI MUST KNOW,

If there is no absolute need of an
extra session of the legislature the
people of Missouri are decidedly
against a call.
Only one absolute need has been
brought forward and that turns upon
a legal construction. 1t is whether
there is danger that the state may lose
electoral vot's.
The federal constitution gives to
the legislatures Of the states authority
to prescribe the manner of choosing
electors. The statutes of Missouri
arrange the manner and supplement
that by providing that in case con
gressional app 'rtionment is made
which increases ,r diminishes the
cleo oral vote and no redistricting is
effected by legislative set. then the
governor shall lay off the state into
electoral districts.
A single gu, stiOn is presented, and
it is whether the legislature can dele
gate thus to the executive power con-
ferred upon it by the constitution Of
the United States.
1t must be remembered that i: a
doubtful construction of the Law Is
permitted 10 60 before the United
States senate when the electoral vote
is counted and fifteen vo.es-omitting
the two at large-from Missouri sre
involved, a temptation like that of
1876 may arise. The election Of a
president may turn upon those fifteen
votes. 1t is hist ~ that republican
senate would not h. state to adopt any
construction which would give its
party the grand prize.
Governor Fr'ncis bears a grave
responsibility. Tie people of Mis-.
souri, will not approve an unnecessary
extra session.
Blu, if 4 presidency should be lost
aud the will, not only of this state,
but of the nation, be defeated by q
failure to guard the choice of our
electors. the democracy of Missouri
should be ashamed before mankind.
and The governors political future
would, in the words cf a paradoxical
writer, be behind him.
The time is drawing near when this
question must be decided. The gov
errors reluctance to call session is
Endorsed, but there must be no mis-
take in this electoral vote. A mere
preponderance of legal opinion will
not do. The sense OF the whole pro-
fession must be Enthusiastically plain.
Now let us have it. Has the gov.
erDor clear authority for laying off
electoral districts or is there a shadow
of doubt ?-Kansss City Times.
The above states the case clearly
and succinctly and it should be care
fully read and pondered upon.

made the victim of similar behavior on
the part of another. Here is an example
of being paid ''in ones own coin:"

farmer came to the door and asked to
see him.
The man was asked his ezra nd, but he
persisted that he must see the hotel
keeper alone. The latter stepped out
side, when the farmer motioned him to
follow and walked around to the rear
of the hotel.

The oldest story of geese in the fog
comes from Norfolk, and was told to
Mr.. Stevenson, the author of 1.-The Birds
of Norfolk" by the Rev. H. T. Frere. A
large flock of geese were attracted to the
town of Diss on foggy night by the
lights, and from the sound of their voices
seemed TO fly scarcely higher than the
tops of the houses.
They came about 7 p. m, and, as it
was Sunday evening, they appeared to
be especially attracted by the lights in
the church, and their incessant clamor
not little disturbed the congregation
assembled for evening service. From
that time until a m, when the fog
cleared off and they departed they con
tinued to fly around utterly bewildered.
One bird happened to fly so low as to
strike, gas lamp outside the town
probably it was flying round the light
just as policeman was passing by, who
very properly, as the bird was making a
great noise outside public house, took
it into custody, and the next day it was
with equal propriety sent off to pri
vate lunatic asylum at Melton, where il
lived for some years an honored guest

Many of those gorgeous lamp shades
that bewilder the eye from half dozen
show windows on Fifth avenue are made
at home by women who have seen the
proverbial "better days" The work re-
quires niecty of taste and skill in needle
work. Designs and materials are fur
nished sometimes by the shopkeeper,
sometimes by the women that do the
work. The largest shades are made over
parasol frames. The materials entering
into the work are silk, satin, lace and
artificial flowers. Prices of the more
elaborate shades vary from SIG to $50,
80 that the cost of handsome lamp
fully equipped may run up TO $500. In
some cases milliners also make lamp
shades, and the fact that they are able
to utilize remnants of silks and of other
materials gives them peculiar adj
vantage in this business. New York
