f. NJ. Rowe, secretary of the Republic
can county central committee, and 5.
g. Tetwiler, secretary of the Bryan

the following reflections: Whenever a
girl wears her old shoes downtown
she gets the rim of her skirt all muddy.
II the conductor of the street car for
gets to ask for her fare, the average
woman will forget she hasn't paid 1t.
The girl who doesn't believe in chap
erones is generally the one who says
she likes men who know enough not
to talk too much. If a husband kiss
es his wife good-by every morning
when he goes downtown, she will new
er believe he isn't a good business
man.
Mr.. A. Begley tells US pretty good
Joke on himself. Last su MINER he
made a cask of wine and put it away
in the cellar. All fall he has been an
ticipating what good time he would
have slipping that wine during the
long, cold evenings of winter. About
week ago he thought he would sam
pie the wine and went to the cask.
But the wine refused to flow. He
thought the faucet must be out of fix.
But an investigation proved there
wasn't drop of wine in the cask.
Some one had got into the cellar and
drained the cask dry. Mr.. B. trusts
that if the wine was good that the
dr1nker or drinkers will be thoughtful
enough to call and tell him so.

A Southeast exchange thus refers to
the mover who is in frequent evil
dence these days: Mowers, mostly
iourneying southwark, pass through
town daily. Those heading north claim
to have been burnt out by the drouth in
| Arkansas; and next year when they
come through you will be told that the
wet weather in Missouri and Illinois
drowned out their crops. DR.. King,
of Kansas City. in his book, The
Country Doctor calls these moving
! folk, branch water people, because
they are so lazy that they had rather
drink branch water than dig a we'll.
They are always in hard luck and are
usually the victims of too much water
or too much heat-between the deep
sea and the devil as it were"
From Gov. Stones thanksgiving
proclamation: The ways OF provi-
dence are not always entirely clear to
mortal eyes. but in his own way and
| in His own time the Lord works out
| his ends. It is sufficient for us to
know that God Is always good and
| merciful. There are few conditions
that could not be worse, and no mat
| ter what causes may exist for discon'
| teat there are always abundant reas-
ons for gratitude and thanksgiving.
| The occurrences OF the year have not
been unmixed with evil, but it is safe
| to say that Missouri has as little reas.
| on to complain of the bad things and
as much reason to rejoice for the good
things that have fallen to the common
