The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1892-07-26
BAZOO GOSSIP.

1t is a lamentab'e fact that the
maple trees of Sedalia are full Of
worms, which, in the summer season
are very annoying. The extreme heat
of the past week, however. has killed
great quantities Of them. Falling
from the trees to the stone and wooden
pavements, they are cooked as brown
as . berry.
There is an unusu-l scarcity Of
spring chickens in the Sedalia market
this season, owing largely to the ship
ping of so many hens and ROSTERS to
the eastern cities. At least this is the
explanation given by a prominent
hotel proprietor in Sedalis. As q
natural consequence the price of sping
chickens is away up.

"Work, indeedl Don't / owe you
everything? And my wife has longed
for you TO come. There are so few dear
old aunts in this country, they're
priced, tell you. Why, it is as good as
royal coat of arms to have a dear,
handsome old woman like you for re-
lation."
Then he found out who sent the tele-
gram and paid the lad, who blushed
like girl and did not want to take it.
II suppose you want job" said the
big man. "Well, can give you one.

He picked up the carpet-bag, faded

Choosing Between the Attractions.

Barnum's circus had just struck a
town in Vermont. Aunt Polly had new
err seen the elephant, in any sense of
the word, and had been telling for
weeks how she did just long to go to
the show" When the proper morning
came Aunt Polly's married son, Josh,
told her to be ready at one o'clock p.
m, and they'd take in the show.
"Wcn, now" exclaimed Aunt Polly,
hesitatingly, II don't know about that.
l want to see the show awful bad, but
you see Deacon Perkins funeral comes
off to-day, and don's just know which
I'd enjoy the most There'u be lots of
folks there, and besides may live till
Barnum comes again, but this is the
only funeral Deacon Perkins will ever
give.
IL guess, Josh, I'll have better I ine
at the funeral than at the circus"
And Aunt Polly went to the. funeral.

VALUED MEMENTOES.
Reminders of the Craft of Honored An
cestors.

Reminders of the Craft of Honored An
cestors.
The stranger in Antwerp, wandering
through the narrow, crooked lanes of
the old quarter, will suddenly find him
self in a little open square-the Place
du Vendrcdi. 1t is paved with rough
cobblestones and heaped with old fur
niture, beside which white-capped jew
ish women sit crying their wares One
side of the square is shut in by mas
sive building of stone, whose grave and
stately presence contracts oddly with
the squalor and noise below. This is
the Haus Plantin- Moretus, which is
preserved as specimen of the dwell
ing and workshop of a great Flemish
craftsman nearly four centuries ago.
Christopher Plantin and afterward his
son-in-law Johann Moretus acquired
great wealth and fame as printers, and
held a foremost place among the proud
burghers of Antwerp. Their descend
ants have kept the house just as they
left it. 1t is built like a French pal
ace, around the four sides of an old gar
den in which even the tulips take on
somber shades. A vine planted by
Moretus covers the walls and quaint
stone stairways. Here, too, are an
cient carved settees of oak in which
the old burgher sat when the days
work was done.
Inside are great shops, with the presses
and type in the cases as the Journey
men laid them down three centuries
ago Here are specimens of the famous
books printed by Moretus; piles of
books upon the shelves ready for sale,
while those who bought and those who
sold them have been dust for centu-
ries.s The apartments of the family are
unchanged. Portraits hang upon the
walls. One grows familiar with the
stout, stern old Water Plantin and his
prim wife, and his daughter, Frau Mar
tina Moretus, with her sly, coquettish
face. Here is the very table at which
they ate in the stately banqueting hall,
hung with priceless Spanish leather.
The old workman surrounded himself
with a grave, solid splendor. Even his
narrow bed is draped with tapestry
fit for king; but his leather apron
hangs beside the diplomas given him by
SoverelgnS.
Here is a lesson which the American
who runs may read. He may be as rich
as this great family, but what has he
done with his carpenter or blacksmith
ancestors? Does he keep their leather
aprons, or any records of the honest
labor which earned his wealth? Or
does he parade some mythical count or
baron in place of the Woodworking
grandfather whom he has hidden out of
sight?-Youth's Companion.

THE RUNAWAY.
How Aunt Hannah Sought and
Found Peace.


''Would they put her in the asylum"
she wondered, III they caught her9"
Folks would surely think she was crazy.
She stopped at the stone wall to rest
and looked back timorously at the old
familiar scene. Far behind her stretched
the meadow, symphony of olive and
green in the late fall. Here and there
by sunken bowlder stood soldierly
goldenrod, or berry bushes clothed now
in scarlet and gold. At intervals in the
long slope stood solitary trees, where
fiuttering, brittle leaves fell in the gen
tie chill air. In summer time she re-
membered well the haymakers in the
shade, and the jug with ginger water
she made for the men was kept there
to be cool.
She seemed, as she sat there, 10 re-
member everything. The house was
all right, she was sure of that; the key
was under the kitchen doormat, the
fire was out in the stove and the cat
locked in the barn.
She held her work-hardened palm 10
her side, painting a little, for it was a
good bit of walk across the meadow,
and she was eighty years old on her
last birthday. The cows feeding looked
homelike and pleasant.
''Good-by, Critters" she said, aloud;
''many's the time I've druv' ye home
an MIXED We, an / allus let ye eat by
the way, nor never hurried ye as the
boys DONE
With farewell glance she went ON

There's a ,oide difference
between the help that's talked Of
Ind the help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, Won
get them with every blood-puriGer
but one. That one is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get a guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, medi.
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine ia
different, that it's sold differently.
HIS not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from tor.
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for dollar
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.
Can you ask more?

THANKS.

We thank the members of the Cald-
well brass band, the lively men and cit
liens generally who assisted in wei
coming the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church to our town, and
very particularly and especially do we
thank the ladies who took so active a
part, and by their labor, devotion and
patriotism made CaldwelrS welcome so
pleasant and complete success. They
made her light to burn with more than
usual power. We hope that its bright
ness will not fade, and know that with
their help it will grow greater and
more brilliant until it becomes what it
deserves to be-the beacon of the north
west. Ladies, we again thank you, and
in doing so we but voice the sentiment
of the homely half of our people.

people felt amply repaid for their
trouble.
The credit of the entire affair is due
to Messrs. A. f. Isham, George Reed.
Henry Dorman and w. G. Dunbar.
They were the prime movers and at
tended to every detail. Of course
they were ably assisted by scores of
citizens. Messrs. Isham and Reed
went to Nampa to meet them. and had
the entire delegation completely organ
lied before they reached Caldwell.
The greatest surprise to the visitors
was the luscious canned fruits, such as
pears, prunes, peaches, plums, ETC.,
which appeared on the tables. They
could hardly realize that they were
grown here, and the fact gave rise to
some interesting and instructive dis
cussions.
The affair will be Of great profit to
Idaho. We have been pla ced right
before 300 highly educated and intelli-
gent ladies and gentlemen, and we ven
ture the assertion that when they reach
their eastern home not one of the mum
Der, will hear Idaho called "rotten
borough without taking up a club in
her defense.

Mr.. Nat Graves, of Rosadale, Arkan-

Four colored porters, who were with
the Presbyterian crowd, perched them
selves on the banister of the high side
walk across the railroad track to listen
to the music. The banister gave way
and a great downfall of the colored
race was witnessed. If they had been
white men every one would surely have
received a broken neck: as they were
not, no one was hurt. Those who wit
messed the accident are laughing yet.
1t was most comical.
Chas. II. Reed went to Baker City
last Sunday, representing Caldwell and
Boise City in the Oregon-ldaho ball
league. Nj. l.. Tichner, of Baker City
was elected president and Mr., Reed,
secretary The league was duly organ
lied, La Grande, Baker City, Caldwell
and Boise City being included. a
schedule Of the summers games was
adopted and also rules governing the
the league. Mr.. Reed did the best he
could, but upon his return the Caldwell
association refused to stand by the
articles Of agreement. This practically
breaks the entire business, thus max
ing details of the arrangement unneces-
sary. The objection of Caldwell is
based upon professional players. La
Grande and Baker City candidly ac-
knowledge that they are going to play
hired professionals. AS Caldwell has no
money to hire professional and know
ing our amateurs would, to say the
least, be at Il great disadvantage, they
drew out. An effort is now being
made to form a league including Cald-
well, Boise City, Pocatello and Wood
River, professional players barred.
Prospects are encouraging.

Dirt is flying at a lively rate on the
head of the Payette canal. G.. w. Gait
has force of thirty men and twenty
teams at work on his contract: Barry
Il Phillips, twenty-five men and fifteen
teams; Dan Masterson, twenty men
and ten teams, and III. A. Young, of
Nampa, who has two mile contract
will have twenty-five men and fifteen
teams at work the first of the week.
The water for the canal is taken out of
the mill ditch and is run for short dis
lance in what is known as the old
Wardwell ditch. For this property the
company have paid the Wardwell es-
tate the sum of $500 and perpetual
right for 400 inches of water. What the
lumber company received for their in
terests is not known. The main canal
runs right through the town, COM
ing out on the principal street in the
vicinity of the post office and running
straight to the foot hills, and is well
upon the hill side by the time the Will
son ranch is reached.
