THE river is very muddy, you can see,
but this does not affect the condition OF
the city supply as 1t does in winter. Then
this fine Maryland mud hangs in solution,
and 1t is almost impossible to settle it, as
the water is denser, or, popularity speaking,
heavier when II is cold and floats the fine

''Iu summer the mud settles better at tile

thereare no unusual inpuritiesin TN ewater,

analyses made lately, hut there are no COM
plants from consumers, except occasion
ally from sections where there are hut
few cons nniers in II block.
The water is said to taste OF some OBJ
lectionable substances, and the Officials
say this is the result of the water lying
In the pipes. In sections where the users
are numerous there are no complaints
and aside from the presence OF mud il is
believed the water supply is compare
lively pure
The condition may change, they say,
as it usually does. if at all, in the fall
when the autumn rains wash the sur.
face dust and trash into the liver That
is the season when typhoid fever is most
prevalent, as shown from the statis-
tics, and so much OF this as may be due
to the impurity of the water is cited In
support of the suggestion that the fan
rains supply the germs
The quantity OF water consumed is abont
the same as In previous years. A slight
difference is noted, the amount being
somewhat less, and this is believed to
be in part attributable TO the use of
meters.
Many stables and other establishments
are using meters. This requires payment
upon actual consumption, and prevents
much waste.

the parable to real life we have very
many different excuses, not only unlike
in some cases, but even opposite and
contradictory. Too good, too bad, too
old, too young, too rich, too poor the
Church too good for them, the Church
too bad too learned to believe the Cos
pei, or too intermediary or all of
these excuses will serve the purpose.
The great difficulty is, that men have
no appetite for the food which the
heavenly feast offers it is not to their
taste. And besides, the style or color
of the dish. or the looks or dress Of the
servant offering it, is not exactly what
they prefer; and thus, bluntly or
politely, the answer is given: "Have
me excused !" And they are excused
that is, they are not picked up by
force and carried as lifeless baggage or
furniture into the hall Of fsasting.
Some one has made the shrewd remark
that IL a person is seized, tied. and
brought into a house. the inmates
could not think of saying HE came
into the house"
But the hospitable intentions of the
liberal host must not be defeated. If
those familiar with the usages of good
society will not come, others less for

and the removal of drift distractions
in the natural water courses. 1t is q
mistake to conclude that such drain
age is difficult or exceedingly costly.
1t is a greater mistake to imagine that
the whole of lower southeast Missouri
is now or at any time ever was over
flowed. At the most, only the decid-
eddy smaller part is wei submerged.
Vast districts exist where profitable
farming in all the counties of lower
southeast Missouri has been carried on
for a long time. Indeed some Of the
earliest settlements in Missouri were
made in Cape Girardeau, New Madrid,
Ste. Genevieve and Pemiscot counties.
A good levee is now completed
through Dunklin, New Madrid and
Pemiscot counties, adjacent to the Mis-.
sissippi river. 1t will keep from those
counties the only water that has here
tofore endangered, to any considerable
extent, farming there. Consequently,
the early settler in those three counties
will find a rich harvest awaiting him.
Nowhere in the west can such bar
gains in good land be had as in every
n of the counties Of southeast Mis-
souri, now That Is because our section
of the state has heretofore not been
sufficiently known or appreciated and
has too often been maligned. Years
ago the tide of immigration was to
Kansas and Nebraska but many people
who went there are now trooping to
the cheap and rich lands of southeast
Missouri. One crop year with us,
fuses them, with our better prices and
better climate, to declare they have
exchanged disaster for success. An
immense field for human effort is open
in the great apple and peach region
which centers at West Plains, in
Howell county. No matter how I'M
settled matters were in southeast Mis-.
souri, thirty years ago, the stale charge
our people are slothful, lawless, ignof-
ant, bigoted or proscriptive, is not
only untrue but is grossly unjust.
Politically, parties are evenly bal
anced. Just now southeast Missouri
10 represented by two republican con-
gressmen. For twenty eight years ]
have advocated here the creed of re-
publicanism never once to be inter
rnpted.

who have been enabled to keep vigor-
ously at work, who must have given
up but for Paine'e celery compound.
Nervous affections are a warning to
busy people.
At the earliest sign of reduced nerve
force, inability to sleep, languor, or a
gloomy habit of mind, everyone should
look Immediately to the nutrition Of
their ervou system and to the purity
of their blood. Paine's celery COM
pound will attend to both of these
urgent needs more thoroughly and
more speedily than anything else in the
world. Paine's celery compound is
not to be COMPOUNDED with the common
preparations, the sarsaparillas and ner-
vines. Being the discovery of a man
of science, Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
NJ. D., LIZ D., of Dartmouth College,
it has the support of the best physi-
clans; they prescribe it universally ;
and the many sick persons made well
by its use proves that that support is
merited.
To the great majority of business
men a vacation, to say nothing of
three months of complete inactivity, is
out of the question at this season, even
when their brains demand a complete
rest and their nerves ache and threaten
them with prostration. Now, there
are hundreds of business men and hard
worked professional men in this city
in just this condition. What are they
to do? Those who are tired out, run
down and debilitated at this trying
season will do well to read some Of the
straightforward and convincing state
ments from the men and women who
have been cured by Paine's celery
compound.
Nervous weakness vanishes before
Paine's celery compound as mist before
the strong, health giving rays of the
sun. Convince yourself of the fact at
once, if your health is at all impaired.

Small Boys Abroad.

From Harper's Round Table.
We didn't get into London until
about seven o'clock Wednesday night,
but 1t was fine travelling coming up
from Southampton. You'd have thought
the cars had rubber bicycle tyres on
their wheels see that word tyresf
that's English for tires-I saw it on the
sign. They road along just as smoothly
as q bicycle would 60 on a tar pave
ment, and go-Jerusalem how they did
gol That little toy engine / told you
about once she got started just leaped
over the ground. You'd almost think
you were travelling on a streak Of
lightning and in a packing box. That's
all the cars are, just little packing
boxes petitioned off into stalls running
from side to side. You get into one of
these stalls and the guard-they call
brakemen guards over here--the guard
locks you in and off you go. 1t isn't a
bit like travelling in America, and /
don't know as / like it quite as much
as the American cars with 1sles down
the middle Of 'em because the broken
mixed candy and banana boyes can't
walk through and sell you things |
haven't seen a broken mixed candy and
banana boy over here and its all because
their carr haven't any Isles. There
aren't any comic paper boys either but
! guess that's good thing. Pop bought
a copy one of the English comic papers
and nearly ruined his eyes trying to
see the jokes, their points were so
awful fine.

cept. If well titled and well. stocked
farms or comfortable homes will not
furnish guests, let the lanes and streets
of the city be searched. There may be
found those whom hunger has prepared
to receive with joy the offer of a liberal
feast. No farm nor oxen will be in
their way. Lonely wanderers, with
no family ties, can come at a mo-
ment's notice. But even these willing
guests do not fill up all the places SO
freely prepared. A lower stratum Of
life may be found. Lying hungry. and
tired under the hedge.rows may be
found men and women despairing of
ever seeing again an inviting table.
These may need urging, but not from
unwillingness to accept. Their great
hindrance may be. This is almost
too good to be true We are not in.
cluded in the invitation, surely The
servant has gone beyond his authority

these cases was there any physical,
oyerpowering force brought to bear.
This parable became history when
Jews refused to believe Jesus, and
Gentiles were offered the riches of His
grace. 1t is history now when, with
millions of unbelievers in Christendom,
missionaries are sent to heather lands,
telling them that full provision has
been made for them. 1t is history to-
day in u cities where worldly pew
holders leave their places empty, and
earnest men and women search through
the narrow streets and dark tenements

Rev. Zephaniah Meek, ID. D. is a
household name all over the South.
Since 1867 he has owned and edited the
Central Methodist, - the leading paper
of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
the South. He represented his state at
the General Conference.
He was one of the Kentucky Com
missioners at the Chicago Columbian
Exposition. During his ministry in
the South he has built and dedicated
five chapels, He writes from Catletts-
burg, KY, where his home is, as fol-
lows:
Il have used several bottles of Paine's
celery compound for nervous trouble,
resulting from overwork, and with i'm
mediate effect, as well as permanent
benefit. 1t is the best nerve tonic that
l have ever tried. 1t has also been
used in my family with great benefit"
T~ired-out, half-sick men and women
need something more than a mere rest.
They need a positive. unmistakable
nerve food they must have a reserve
of nerve-force to draw from, before
their heads will cease to ache and their
nerves cease to tremble with neuralgia.
1t is estimated that there are over
ten million nerve fibres in the body.
So long as these minute tissues are
kept fully nourished, one lives in bliss
full ignorance of any such thing as neu-
ralgia, headaches, or even a nervous
system, but let one become q run down"
and the nutrition of the body get low,
and every one of these myriad flores
becomes a "live wire'' within the
flesh. Headaches, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, and other forms of
and debility result directly from a fam
ished rvo system. Paine's celery
compound is able to correct this faulty
condition. 1t builds up the nervous
system and s%ustains it. The brain at
once feels the strengthening effects OF
the superb nutriment. There are
thousands of men and women to-day

Somebody Liked his Sermons

had any more sermons to sell.
why do you want sermonsf"
Because l did 80 well with those I
got here a year ago. I got sick in the
summer and a preacher in the country
boarded me and my horse three months
for that barrel of sermons, and he has
since got a great reputation as a
preacher up there. I will give you Eve
