MISSOURI JOINS THE MAJORITY
The Republicans secure the state Ticket.
Legislature and Ten Congressman.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. Nov. "A
funeral gloom has yervaded the state
capital to-day. The result OF the cleo
ton in Missouri staggered Gov. stone
and the democratic administra-
ton. The growing uncertainty
and doubt all day has depressed
them. While this city is regarded
as political center, it is not politl-
cal news center, as both of the state
committees have headquarters in st.
Louis. News from there comes slowly
to-day and il was p. IN. when a ines
sage from Chairman Sam Cook of
the democratic state committee to

Pertinent INSCRIPTIONS,

1t is quite an interesting thing tt
learn that some OF our best knowns
proverbs and notices were originally
used in connection with sundials. Be-
fore the days of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means of reckoning time. it
was prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are, Make hay while the sun
shines, :" 1.-THE longest day must end''
and ''All things do wax and wane. y
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from historic one which was
placed on st. Paul's cross, in London,
and which proclaimed, II number none
but sunny hours This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
dial on an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex, England.
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight of time and the brevity of
life. They were as follows: "After
darkness, light. Alas. how swiftp'
warn whilst l move and So passes
life.''
Another old sundial spoke petulant-
~ about the same subject in the words,
Slrrah, be gone about your business"

WINTER AT THE MILL.

The winding lane is filed with snow:
The cold sky wears 9 frown;
! As far as hazy dreamland seems
The warm o'erfoWing town,
And everything is white and chill
When it is winter at the mill.
The mill wheel with its merry whir,
nicy hands is fast;
No CHEEKY neighbor seeks the door:
s No traveller Wanders past;
The path is lost across the hill
When it is winter at the mill.
The miller reads his almanac
And wishes it were spring,
When logs come tumbling down the
stream,
And larks and veeries sing;
The whole wide world is blank and still
When it is winter at the mill.
The miller's wife, sore discomfort,
Sits by the easement low,
And knits and watches the gray smoke
From village chimneys blow,
There is no gossip, good or i'll.
When tits winter at the mill.
But to the miller's little maid
Time hastes on rosy wing.
The fairies she could never find
In any haunts of spring
Fill all the firelit chimney nook
Through magic of story book.

Extenuating Circnmstance..

Judge What, You plead extenuating
circumstances? Why, your crime was
simply terrible! After robbing the
poor family of what little money they
had managed to accumulate by almost
starving themselves, you murdered them
alls-father, mother and eight children,
pouring kerosene on them and setting
them on IRE. Then you burned their
house and killed eight of the officers
who tried to arrest You. And what,
may ask, then. are your extenuating
circumstances?
Prisoner our honor, it was nv
first offense Of the kind Boston Tray
