might have inflicted a fatal wound. The
COW had escaped from a neighbouring farm,
and was disporting herself in Hawarden Park
when MIR. Gladstone came down one of the
drives and looked at her, whereupon the COW
rushed at him, threw him down, and ran
over him. She did not, however, renew the
attack, and Mr.. Gladstone walked quietly
home. and was none the worse for the rather
serious incident. To paraphrase VIA
Goldsmith said The man recovered from
the blow, the cow it was who died !" She
was very properly shot, as evidently a dan
gerous creature, The event will rather
confirm the belief tina Mr.. Gladstone bearA
what 10 called a charmed life. Certainly it ID
a very unusual thing, at the age OF almost
eighty-threu, to show such vigour and elasti-
city as Mr.. Gladstone shows after every great
effort. We do not believe in charmed lives
but, doubtless. there is some considerable
purpose for his life to fulfil We believe it
may be to prove that the object to which
he his devoted such tenacious and unexplain-
ed energies is quite beyond the power even
Of his great enthusiasm.

forget a little too readily, when we discuss

useless, no one being able TO devise a work

rupees but the only possible result Of that
measure must be to diminish the demand for

THERE'S MONEY IN IT.

Some days since Judge j. N. Daily,
Of this city, received a letter from w.
N. Kessinger, of Bruceville, Ind. .
making inquiries as to the whereabouts
of Geo. Clark, who resided in the city
some ten or twelve years ago. Mr..
Kessinger is administrator Of the es-
tates of Susan and John A. Clark,
brother and sister of the missing man
who is a beneficiary. The latter
stated that Geo. Clark was q member
of the Christian church and possibly
q minister in that denomination that
he has q married daughter Hattie,
living in Sedalia, but the name of her
husband is not known.
A BAzoo representative sought in
formation from quite number of the
members of the Christian church and
other old citizens, but none seemed to
remember George Clark or his family.
Perhaps the above, however, may be
instrumental in securing the required
information from one who should read

HOW 1T WORKS.

DR.. Houston il here.
The doctor is a physician, dom
belong to the Pettis county medical
society and practices on old soaks.
He is a Kelley practitioner.
The doctor came to town q week
ago and has one patient.
He lie q hummer.
He is an old reporter.
If the doctor can cure him, he, the
doctor, is q darling.
Last Friday evening the reporter
was taken to the doctor for treatment.
The first thing the patient wanted
was some whiskey.
This was furnished.
The reporter proceeded to hoist on
a "jag' Of huge proportions.
He was soon drunk as q man and
brother on election day.
When that reporter gets full, he
gets stubborn.
An Arkapsaw mule has mild man
nered and dove-like disposition when
compared with that Faber shower when
looking upon red liquor.
After long persuasion the patient
wac induced to take one "shot."
He was then seated in high-backed
rocking chair and given bottle of
whisky to-smell of.
The doctor then left him sole Occu-
pant of the office while a search w4s
made to find boarding house for the
reporter with jag"
One hour elapsed.
The doctor returned to the office,
expecting to find the reporter IN I'M
disputed possession.
The reporter with his Gag" hal
left.
He had gone to hunt an item full
of sensation.
The doctor hunted, but found him
not.
Twenty-four hours passed, and fu-
ally the reporter walked in, hunt
another Tag"
The doctor captured him.
Another "shOt" of the anti whisky,
anti-"jag" medicine was unloaded in
his right arm about where the little
boy is usually vaccinated.
Last night the knight Of the pencil
was seated in a rocking chair, a bot
tie of whiskey in each side coat pocket
awaiting events.
As soon as he is cured he will be
put to work on the BAzoo and sent to
report the coming prohibition con.
vention.
And if Doctor Houston cures him
he will be public benefsctor.
