Ali For Democracy.

Some days ago, while return
ing from tour of inspection of
Caldwell county, o. s. Hall, pres
ident Of the Missouri Alliance, fell
into trap through his own eager
ness to tell something.
While on the train lie was in
troduced to Mr.. John G. Bickel,
editor of the Cameron Vindicator,
one of the ablest Republican pa
pers in the Third district. Dur
ing the conversation Mr.. Hall
said he had been over to Caldwell
county to explain to the Alliance
brethren, who were discussing it,
why he made his pilgrimage to
Springfield, ILL.,, to help elect
Palmer to the United States sen-
ate. He said the Alliance, while
strictly uon-partisan, was the un-
alterable foe Of every act of the
Republican party. "My idea" he
exclaimed, ''is to throw the whole
influence of the Alliance of Mis-
souri, wherever it will hurt the
Republican party most, and, chat
is of course, to the Democratic par
ty. clapped my hands when [
heard Palmer was elected: He
was my man exactly" About this
time it occurred to Mr.. Hall to
ascertain Mr.. Bickel's politics,
and when he learned of his thor
oughly sound Republican pro-
clivities he begged piteously that
nothing he had said be published,
claiming that he thought the Vim
dicator u democratic sheet and
that he was simply explaining his
position to the brethren so that
they would understand his actions.
Although Mr. Bickel has refrain
ed from publishing the interview
he was quite accessible to a Jour
nal representative and told the
story OF MIR. Halls little secret
with perfect willingness as be con-
sidered the interview perfectly
legitimate.
Mr.. Bickel was in company with
DR.. G. L. Black, of Liberty, who
also heard the story told by Mr..
Hall.-kansas City Journal.

a clever bit OF verse with pictures
by M. johnson, in which children
of different nationallties extol
their native food;
The Departments, and the ususl
delightful jingles and pictures
tucked in between the longer stor-

fess that st. Nicholas not only
gives good measure, bat generous

ever space can be found. In short,
it is one of the few periodicals in

A True Story.

In country Office was studi-
GUS young man beginning the
trade at 81 per week. At the end
of three years his pay vas double
this sum. At the same time there
was q ffteen-dollar-a-week press
man employed in the office. In
the course of events it became
necessary to remove a cylinder
press and set it up again,
and his employers were contem-
plating sending to the city for an
expert workman to do the job. At
this juncture the studious young
man stepped forward and offered
to effect the removal, asserting
that he could do it properly and
we'll. His employ ers were aston
ished at his presumption, but f.
nally consented. The press was
taken down, removed and again
set up, entirely under the super.
vision of the young man, and it
was found to run better than be-
fore. The result was that the
young mans wages were at once
advanced to $40 per week. while
the pressman was sent to a back
seat with a reduction of one. half
in his paw.
The same young man has, in
his odd spare time, built and fur
nished seven-room house, doing
all the carpenter and mason work
with his own hands; and experts
In such matters say the work is as
we'll done, IN every respect, as If
1t had been executed by trained
workmen. This story points its
own moral.-Printers Album.
