SAT- on TIE WOODBoN.
Mr.. James lived very uneventful
life at st. Joe, and the gas man who re
members now the time when he and
Mr. Howard were alone in the cellar
looking al the meter, and how Mr..
Howard spoke rather freely about The
feeble verasity OF the meter, and how
he the gas mani talked loud and got
red in the face and bullied Mr.. James
into paying, now trembles like a leaf
when he passes the house, and can
hardly look a gas meter in the face.
Prior 10 the time Mr.. James lived
here, Mr.. Eugene Field, now Of Chi
cago. was a resident Of ST. Joe. Sena-
tor Cochran and Major Bittinger now
run the Gazette and Herald, respective
liz. and Major John ~ Edwards for
years Uttered up the streets OF st. Joe
with the shattered vitals OF his foes.
During the hot weather il was said that
Major Edwards foes who were awaiting
their turn at the undertaker'S became
even more offensive than they were
during life.
St. Joe lisa great overall center. The
regalia Of the Farmers Alliance is made
here IN great numbers, and the overall
girls throng here like blackbirds in the
spring. IN had time l could stand for
hours watching them with deft and
agile fingers overalling and painting for
the trade.
St. Joe is said to be the richest city Of
its size in the world In travelling about
run across a good many of those. The
richest city OF its size is getting to be
very plenty in America, aud In num-
bers is only eQuallcd by the town
which has never had what you may call
a boom, but has a regular, steady
and healthy growth l wish l could
remember how many OF these towns l
have encountered just this season.
A short time ago / visited the Bee Of
fee i'm Omaha. Mr.. Rosewater says it
is the largest newspaper Office on the
globe. Ii is certainly the largest ever
saw. 10 is ireproot and very well
planned for convenience.
A short time ago we passed through
Galloway county, Mo. Galloway county
has the honor of having seeded at one
time from the State of Missouri. Act
ing on the principle that if Il State
could secede, the divine right also be-
longed 10 a county, Galloway refused 20
recognize the emancipation fad and
also rocked back on her launches and
refused TO pay taxes to the State. This
ran on for some time, but at last she
was forced TO come back into the Union
because foreign powers refused to rec
ognize her sovereignty and her Curren-
cy was not taken at par by other ma
tions, as it was poorly printed by an
ameuteur job printer, who did 1t in col
Ors.
Crossing the river from Jefferson City,
I noticed the gait OF young man in a
brand new suit OF Fort Dodge clothes. l
asked a Missouri man to look at him.
lie said: "YeS, that's convict just out.
lie still has the prison step
He was young man, and this Mis-
sourian TO whom l spoke said that the
prison was filed with young men. Why
is this? Is il the result of Mr.. JameSs
erratic life, or is there some unexplained
reason?
We have been in twenty State capt.
tails this winter, and l am sorry to say
that without an exception the Legisla-
ture seemed to be almost entirely en-
gagged in the task OF rediStricting the
State How many millions Of dollars
does the reader suppose it costs to re-
district the United States so as to give
the prevailing party control Of the Leg
islature2 This is only another item
added to the great and growing expense
of an election. BY and by a Senator
will be compelled 10 be dishonest in
order 70 save anything out Of his salary
of X. 600 per year and pay his election
expenses.
saw Kate Kane, the noted Chicago
female lawyer, the other day. She is
rather an aggressive woman, and has
been fined repeatedly for contempt.
Once she dashed pitcher OF cold water
i'm the face Of the court, and as soon as
he could get the moisture out of his nose
and wiring out his whiSkers and get a
drv woolsack TO sit on he fined the az
rressive lawyer with great slaCrity.
This winter she udS uttu again uutuf
this time for using language un6ecOm-
ing a gentleman.
She is a plain woman, with a hrm
mouth. When she looked toward my
seat as though she thought OF sharing il
with me gave it all to her and sat on
the woodbox. Sometimes the woodboX
feels sort Of comfortable, l think.
Kate Kane in her practice is regarded
as an aggressive wonaI, as say. There
is certainly nothing actionsble IN that
statement. II so, 1 will take it back,
out I think I am safe in saying thaG she
is aggressive. Sometimes she is abusive
also.
Once this past year she was abusing
the opposing counsel and the judge
mildly reprimsnded her.
you should remember" he said gen.
tly TO katie. "that while the court may
permit pretty strong language at times,
you have gone over the bounds in this
case and seemed to forget that there are
ladies' present"
