Kemper Met Defeat.

t0N WI IA
Last Monday afternoon the foot bali
elevens representing the Missouri
Military Academy of Mexico and the
Kemper School of Boonville lined up
on the Kemper grounds to wage wal
over the ''pig skim" and the visitors
won the day by defeating the home
team by the o of % to 4.
Mexico won the toss and took the
north goal. Hutchinson captain, made
the kickoff and Drake returned the
ball 10 yards before he was downed.
Kemper bucked the line repeatedly
and gained ground easily, and they
they we're well into Mexico's territory
when the ball was lost on q tumble.
By successive round-the, end plays
Mexico s~ucceededin taking the sphere
to Kemper's one yard line. Kemper
braced up and her line proved impreg-
nable, and Mexico lost the ball on
downs. Kemper then had the ball
and she bucked the line for a gain of
four yards; and a gain for the three
yards. The ball is then passed to
Gillian, who, behind splendid inter
ference, made a pretty run of 40 yards.
A few moments later Koontz made a
20 yards run to a touch down. Drake
failed to kick the goal. The balance
OF the first half the "bone of conten-
ton" remained near the center of
the field, and when time was called
the bali was in Mexico's territory.
Score: Kemper 4; Mexico o.
The second half proved to be Mex
ico's time to score and she piled up 4
touchdowns with one missed goal, Civ
ing her the % points. In this half
Kemper failed to score, and her de-
feat may be attributed to lack of team
work. Their individual playing was
first rate, but at critical times they
did not play together.
In this half the Mexico boys seemed
to have their own way and only once
was her goal in danger. 1t took but
four minutes after time was called for
the beginning of the second half for
Hutchinson to make a touchdown.
He kicked a goal and this put Mexico
ahead by two points.
The remaining part of the game was
replete with brilliant runs by Drake,
Koontz and Gillian for the Kemper
boys and by Hutchinson and Kelley
for Mexico. Hutchinson and Kelley
scored two touchdowns each for their
team, the former of whom is an ex-
~ceptionally clever player and captains
his team well.
Koontz of the Kemper boys sustain
ed a sprained ankle which may pro"
hibit his further playing this year, an
accident that his many friends and
admirers greatly regret.
Mr.. Searight, trainer of the Mexico
team, acted as referee, Capt. Cooke
as umpire and Prof. Gentry al lines
man.

Truth About Hettv green.

Although Hetty Green, with all her
$50, 00o, 900, dresses as cheaply as a
shop girl with 80 a week, she i'm
pressed the Washington reporter who
saw her in the national capital the
other day as a woman who would
shine in fine raiment. ssThe truth is"
says the Post, "that Mrs. Green is not
only attractive, but exceedingly fine
looking. In name she is as vivac-
ious and sprightly as a young giri,and
to look at her rosy cheeks and her
hair, with hardly q trace of silver in
1t, one would not believe that she had
celebrated her sixty-first birthday.
Arrayed in rich garments she would
attract much attention"

THE A

A plant grew upward to the sun,
A cloud passed DER,
And sent a shower,
Then melted on the azure sky
When day was done.
the moon looked from her starry
bower,
And breathed a prayer
Through the midnight air
That the plant might flourish and
soon bring forth
A dainty flower.
The sun again sent forth its light,
And warmed the ground,
The roots around,
And a bud was born on that slender
stem
Ere the coming of night.
A tender flower next morn was seen,
Its colors gay,
And through the day
1t swayed in the gentle summer
breeze
'Twixt leaves of green.
But ere the night had darkness spread
The fowerlet gay
Had withered away
And the leaves dropped down to the
earth again
The plant was dead.
And thus it is with mans short life,
An infant pure,
A man mature,
Tossed back and forth on life's vast
In endless strife.
Then comes old age with bowed down
head,
When faltering heart
With life must part;
The soul then leaves its home of
clay
Man, too, is dead.

J. NJ. C. Rentfro, of Montgomery
county, spent last week with his
daughter near Mexico, and his many
friends in that part of Missouri. While
there he attended the Calhoun stock
sale in Salt River township and the
people thought he was Mitt Hendrix,
and he just let them think and pulled
off his coat and went to electioneering
for Mitt, and now he thinks that
Hendrix can be the next Assessor of
Audrain county if he will just keep
quiet. He also thinks that he made
several votes for Mitt over in the edge

Never Fail to Please.
Plain Hands.

If a plea for plain hands could be
written in letters of gold it could not
attract too much attention. Why will
sensible women, who show refined
good taste in many other ways, make
jewelry shops of their hands? When
the wearer's husband is in the bust
ness it is even worse, for then the
custom has a dash of s'shop" about it.
Some women hide the pretty curves
of their hands with six or eight large
rings crowded on two fingers. Where
one is SO fortunate as to own a hand
some collection, the wearing of one
or two at a time has a touch of novelty
and modesty. But it is truly refresh
ing to see a young lady with shapely
hands or even ordinary ones, given
good care, which are conspicuous for
the absence of snowy adornments.

r. M. WHITE and family have re-
turned from an extended trip through
the South and a visit to the Atlanta
Exposition. The new South is full of
push and vigor and public spirit, bus
ii is still behind the westin enterprise.
There is no question that the prospect
for manufacturing establishments OF
all kinds throughout the entire
South is good, but the agri-
cultural interests can never be what
they are in Missouri. The only
crop raised is cotton and anyone
travelling through the South is sur
prised at the price of corn, cattle and
hogs In the Western country. There
is no reason why our farmers who
can hold their corn will not secure q
much larger price than Is now offered.
There will be an immense demand fol
u products throughout the South.
The Exposition at Atlanta is a splen-
did show and an agreeable surprise to
all who attend It. The attendance il
not large on account of the territory
not being thickly settled throughout
that part Of the country. The people
of Georgia and the Cotton States de-
serve great credit for this grand ex.
hibition.
