In st. Louis last Friday Gov.

or "tbat he was able to promise
smphatically prompt payment Of
every warrant, and without calling
q special session of the legislature"
For several years, the Republic
adds, since the operation Of the con-
stitution reduced the rate of taxa
tion for state purposes, some diff
Guilty has attended the task of max
ing revenue and expenditure meet.
The regular session Of the legisla'
tnre last winter refused to agree on
measures which seemed absolutely
necessary to protect the credit Of
the state. >ITke administration was
thus left to confront an apparently
centain. defeih. But the governor
and the other executive officers ad.
dressed themselves vigorously to
the business of organizing the de-
tails ofincome and expenses. The
governors long experience and ex
tensive influence in financial circles
were especially valuable at this
ianctnre. His administration has
achieved triumph which four
months ago seemed impossible. Il
has neither pleaded a deficit mol
asked for a special session, and the
credit of Missouri is sustained.

The other day Detroit youth
who had come home from college
for vacation took his younger sis
ter out to see a baseball game, says
the Free Press. She is a quiet, de-
mure little lass, with blue eyes and
timid manner, and she slipped in
to her seat in the grand stand as
staidly as if she were entering the
family pew at church.
AS the game progressed he kind
ly undertook to explain to her
something about its points so she
would understand at least q little
about it.
"Now the man is about to throw
the ball." he said. "He is called
the pitcher. The man with a stick
in his hands is the batter. He will
try to hit the ball, and if he does,
he will run to that little bag, which
is called base"
The young mans sister seemed
to be quite interested, and listened
attentively to his explanations.
Presently somebody hit out o
two.bagger that went clear through
the shortstop, and lit out for first
like wild turkey.
The young man began to explain.
"Now," he said, "if the fielder
throws the ball to the man on the
bag before"
The young man ceased suddenly.
His sister had sprung upon the
bench, grabbed his hat and thrown
it into the crowd, and shrieked at
the top Of her voice:
"Yah, yah, yahl Wasn't that a
hot tamalel Ss-ss-ss-sz-zz.zzz-get
