A LETTER CONES,

LETTER COMES.
Charles Shelley Hughes had been
playing star engagements for some.
time in various parts of the country.
The BAzoo gives below a letter
from a lady school teacher in Kansas,
who no doubt was smitten with his
words of elegant dlction and superior
rhetoric, similar to that which he used
in the Pettis county circuit court
room, when he talked himself out Of
the peniteniiary and put tears as big
as gooseberries into the eyes of Billy
Steele. Prosecuting Attorney Longan,
Col. Henry Lamm and Dad Smith,
who stopped sweeping long enough to
listen to Hughes Oratorical effort.
But here is the letter from the school
marin:

LETTER ANSWERED.
Yes, Miss Black, he did act the
part OF reporter on the BAzOo until
the most of his writing was about HIM
self and then he was given a perma-
nent vacation. About that time he
talked young lady into becoming
his wife and was married.
This was wife number two.
Now, Miss Black. Missouri is no

Judge Ryland says ''ifa man takes
good care of one wife, he will do an
excellent part as citizen, and most |
men find their hands full with that
much of charge"
And the BAzoo fully agrees with
the astute court.
Your "dear friend" left Se6alia
without taking charge Of any church.
He did not have time, and the church
was not pressed upon him. Sedalia
