1t was a citizen and a citizeness of
Sedalia, who met by chance on
"Nickle Johns" electric car going
south about II o'clock yesterday.
She seemed to be of a complaining
nature.
He was briskly retrospective, and
as he deposited FIVE coppers in Johns
hand for his fare, he looked directly
at she.
care you boarding or keeping
house now, Mr.. Blank?" asked the
lady in shrill treble, which would
never have been heard but for the
sudden stopping of the car.
"a little Of BOTH" yelled Mr..
Blank, in four mile stretch of voice.
1--WE board in one place ard room
in another; very convenient. You
couldn't have done that ten years
ago"
''NO, indeed We keep house, but
it costs great deal. Our house rent
is $50 month"
''Sho! you could have rented a
house like that for a third of the
money ten years ago."
"And pay our girl 81 week."
"You could have hired the best
girl in Sedalia for half the money ten
years ago."
81 daresay; My husband talks of
to Aurora ~

The last heard of the retrospective
and Alternative citizen, he was shout
ing:

A lively game of draw poker was
played in this city a few nights ago.
Among the players was an cd man
who had not handled a card since
1S49, but he was possessed with his
old love for the game and could not
resist the temptation which overcome
him like summer cloud. The game
ran evenly for some time, until rattling
good hands seemed to have been
dealt out at one time and the betting
was exciting in the extreme. The
forty miner finally "called," but it
took every cent Of money he had to
do so.
He lost.
Then deliberately spreading his
losing hand on the table, he solemnly

Weekly World which has the distin-
guishment Of the double column head

Farmer" Usually its clever editor de-
votes most of the space allotted to him
to showing that protection impoverishes
the tiller Of the soil by depressing the
prices Of his products, while enhancing
the prices of what he buys. We were

HUNTING 6Uf FACO.

When we reached a point just below
the crest of the hill, l stopped and waited
while my companion rode on. Just be-
fore he got to the top he. too, halted,
then took off his hat and peered over
the ridge, examining so much Of the
prairie beyond as was now visible to
him. His inspection was careful and
thorough, and when be had made sure
that nothing was in sight his horse
took step or two forward and then
stopped again. and the rider scanned
every foot of country before him. The
horse, trained as the real hunters horse
is always trained. understood what was
required OF him. and with pricked ears
examined the prairie beyond with as
much interest as cid his rider. When
the calf OF Charleys right leg pressed
the horses side, two or three steps more
were taken, and then a lifting OF the
bride hand caused another halt.
At length saw my companion slowly
bend forward over his horses neck. turn
and ride back 10 me. He had seen the
backs Of two buffalo lying on the edge Of
a little fat hardly quarter Of . mile
