do not mean a man who makes n
good lover. All men make good
lovers while they are about it. The
expressions of courtship go for little.
A girl who gives herself to a man
proved before marriage TO be rough
or cold, deserves the fate that will
surely overtake her. How many
roses does he bring? How many
kisses does he give? These are not
the questions. Are his VOWS ar
dent2 These matter less than it
would be possible to make you be-
lieve.
But what kind of a son is he to an
aged or lonely fatherP Is he patient
with an u~nattractive, an ailing, even
a nagging mother? Do you know
how he treats his sister?

in the city OF st. Louis in 1874, re-
spected and loved by the nation and
by the state. He was born in Ken
lucky in 1926, graduated from Yale
College in lSl7 and came to st. Louis
in lS40, where he began the practice
of law. He was an active and prom
inent member of the legislature in
1852 i, and then became the editor
of the st. Louis Democrat, whose
editorial columns he presided over
with conspicuous ability. When the
war began he raised a Union regi-
mcnt and served as its colonel. In
1863 he was elected to the United
States Senate, and in 1866 led the
opposition to the test oath %proscrip-
ton, an act for which he will always
be held in grateful remembrance by
the democrats of Missouri. In 1870
the liberal republicans nominated
and elected him governor, and under
the existing constitution he served
two years with so much talent that
he was nominated in 1873 by the
liberal republicans as the candidate
of that party for vice president on
the ticket with Horace Greeley. He
vas defeated, of course, but his ON
duct during the Campaign again
cndcared him to the hearts of the
people.
Governor Hamilton r.. Gamble

He was born in Virginia in l79S, and

MIR. Gamble was II member of the
legislature in 1916 and chief Justice
of the supreme court ina 1852. After
the wal began Governor jackson was
dcposcd from tn" go~ycrnorship and
Gamble elected provisional governor
by a convention. He was chosen in
August, 1861, tor only one year, but
hy "a vote of the convention in 1862.
he was continued in office until after
tine election in November, 1854.
Governor Gamble was a proud,
high-spiritcd, popular man, and his
funeral was attended by the largest
number of people ever see at an
occasion of that character in st.
Louis.
Lieutenant Governor Willard =.

speaker, to both OF which positions
he was collected in 1912. lie was
elected to congress in 1915, and was
later made a brigadier general in the
Mexican war. His services in the
latter respect made him conspicuous,
and when the civil war began he
waged n determined fight for the
union, but his friends were all against
him and he finally succumbed, his
name at last becoming a household
word in the south for confederacy.
After the war he was a commission
merchant in st. Louis.
Governor Austin A. King died in
1870. lie was born in Tennessee, in
1901, and received a good education.
lie came to Missouri shortly after
his entrance upon the law and settled

that capacity until elected governor.
He was n member of congress from
1862 until 1864, representing the
union party. One Of his sons is now
Il prominent lawyer in st. Louis.

people. Governor Boggs is best re-
mcmhered by the Mormon war, which
he conducted with signal ability, and
which came near resulting in his
assassination. Late one evening,
while Boggs was leaning with his
back to an open window, II Peter
Rockwell, a Mormon, shot the gov
ernor in the head. The wound was
terrible. three balls lodging in his
head and neck and IL coming out
through his mouth. Nevertheless,

FOUR GIRLS.

From the Cincinnati Tribune.
There is a private hotel in Cincin-
natl composed of four houses in n
block. Doors have been cut through
the partition walls 80 that the four
comprise II great tenement. 1t is
n very swell tenement of course, but
inasmuch as ii is n hive of people, IL
is n tcneme 1 house Just the same.
Well, the other day n book agent
was coasting along the rocky shore
of houses. He put into one after
another, only to be beaten and have
to put to Vel again. But he was not
discouraged. He kept on patiently
and at last he came TO the swell
tenement which calls itself a private
hotel.
Now this estimable book agent had
one bad habit. He would nov and
then take a drop too much. On this
particular day in question he had not
been doing well financially, and as a
solace to his soul he had INDUCED a
number of beers. He was calmly
superior to the world as he walked
up the steps at the first door of the
hotel and rang the bell.
a very pretty little maid in cap
and apron answered the bell. She
dismissed him politely but firmly.
They did not want any new books ut
their house. The agent tipped his
hat gayly and put out to see again.
At the second door he made for
harbor again. The same little maid.
however, passed through the con-
Meeting door and answered the bell a
second time. She smiled at his
blank look and at the backward
glance he gave her as he went down
the steps, disconsolate. He was still
shaking his head in Amusement when
he pulled the third bell.
Once again the little maid appeared
at the door. This time she was
grinning from ear to ear. "My
heavens!" gasped the agent. Then
he fled.
But he was a conscientious man,
and he felt that he must do his duty.
He stood for some time in the street
hopping his head industriously before
he could summon courage for the
next ascent. Finally he went up the
steps of the fourth door, climbing
them fearfully as a man might climb
them in a dream. He had realized
suddenly that the day was frightfully
hot, that the beer within him was
frightfully cold, and that between
the two he was likely to perish
speedily. His agitation was very
great.
IF l see h + again." he muttered,
''if | see her again III quit drinking
for good. She's ten times worse
than snakes. That grin on her-my
Lord! what a grin"
But when the door opened he saw
her just the same. There she was,
slight and pretty and coolly depressed
as ever. There too, was the grin.
1t rippled over her whole face and
puckered up the corners of her
mouth. He felt tho end had come.
81 beg your pardon, ma'am," he
said, as steadily at he could, 81 beg
your pardon very much, buff you
don't mind would you be good
enough-oh, hang it say, missy,
how. many of you are there any
how?n
The maid let go of the grin and it
slipped away from her in a little
laugh.
81 think" she said, ''you had
better go home and take some tea.
There are n great many of me-a
great many, indeed"
"You are right, ma'am," he replied
with a gesture, ''you are"
But she had shut the door in his
face.
