"There is q lady in East Sedalia
Who plays it sharp on her hens" said
q gentleman to the Gossiper. "She
sets them two or three times, taking

A gentleman tells the gossiper this
on one of Sedalia's dentists. This
dentist was q farmer boy before be
studied his profession and the meta
phors of the farm came glibly to his
lips. He had just opened an Office,
and one of his first customers was \
young lady, whose teeth he carefully
examined and then remarked: II

needs little filing"
Said Mr.. E. G. Church to the
Goseiper. If the weather is at all
favorable the east Fifth street paving
contract will be completed in a few
days and I think it will be considered
q splendid job, although the work has
been delayed BY the miserable con.
dition OF the weather. The paving Of
west Seventh street will be commenc

Gently related to the Gosslper nm
amusing story of adventure concern
ing one of the animal-keepers. One
night he had occasion to take shelter
from . hard rain and went to sleep in
. cage occupied by q tapir. The
keeper slept very soundly ant was not
aroused BY the depredations the ami

watches of the night. The keeper
wore q new hat and fai!el to remove
it on lying down. When he arose in
the morning. he found that the tapir
had eaten out the whole crown of his
new hat. That was the last time be
took quarters in that cage.
One of the ancient monuments in
the vine clad city of B1onville is
small stone planted at the foot of
Main street, 90 the now almost de-
serted levee, which indicates the high
water mark reached by the great Mis-
souri, river food in the summer OF
1874. The stone stands high up upon
the sloping street, and has ever since
the memorable overflow escaped the
grasp of the raging waters, though it
must have had very narrow escape
from the food which has not yet en-

which was planted in 1874, are deeply
engraved those figures, worn now BY
the lapse of 90 many years. Ii is often
pointed out to visitors and to the
younger people, an 1 its historical sig

done so it would now be but short
time until he would be released under
the two-thi,ds rule, a. his term was
for only two years. Many of Noland's
friends advised him to do this 1t the

lively no hope for holland. Governor
Francis, who took such 40 active part
in his prosecution, will not pardon
him. As 1 do not believe Missouri

will have to serve out fully two.thirds
