Counting In Kansas.

On the Fourth of July a young man OF
Stockton, Kan. took his best girl to a
picnic. There she accepted so many at
tentions from another young man that
the first young man became enraged and
went home, leaving the girl to get back
to her own house as best she might. She
hired a hack. for which her father paid
rs cents and then the old man sent the
bill to the sulky young sutton. He refused
to pay and the old man sued him in a
Justices court. alleging that having taken
the girl to the picnic II became his duty
TO see her safely home at his own ex-
pense. Both sides nave hired lawyers and
the case will be fought to a finish.

a soLpIER's CAMERA
Fighting and Taking Pictures at the Same
Time.

MI
Lieutenant Wise aid something on the
field that day that was characteristic,
says a Santiago correspondent or the
New York Press. His was unlike the
action of any other officer, veteran or
youngster. He fought bravely; he did
not run; he was not killed or
In this he was not different from scores
OF others. But the wonderful thing that
he did-the thing characteristic OF the
kite flying, photographic. bicycling
nervous enthusiast that he Is, was this:
He charged up the hill at the head OF
his company in the face of Mauser Dull
let's, thick as hail, and with shrapnel
shells bursting all around him, n car
ried in his right hand his sword and in
his left a rapid-firing camera of his
own device. He took twelve views on
the film plates while he was running,
and when he and the standing remnant
OF his company were in possession OF
the top of the HILL. and the Spaniards
were flying Town the other, Lieutenant
Wise turned to a sergeant and said:
Il nh I've got some pretty livery
pictures this time. If there was only
some ice in this sunburned country I'd
develop them right now"
Then he gave his camera to a private
to guard. and resumed fighting. If that
isn't bravery, GOODNESS, nerve and au-
dacfty combined I never heard of them.
And every body who knows him Will
say that 1t was Just like Hughey
Wise"

doubts are suggested on the score OF his
comparative youth as a statesman n

Died In Alaska.

A shock was caused in Osceola
last week when letter was received
from Ben Decherd stating that Capt.
j. t. Boots had died from the effects
of pneumonia at Sheep Camp, Alas
ka, April 10, after short illness
Captain Boots had probably endured
more of the ups and downs of life
than usually fall to the lot of the
ordinary individual. He was born
in Hendricks county, Indiana, Sep
TENDER IT, 1843. In 1868 he was
married to Miss Amanda E. Thur.
man in Danville, same state, and who
is left to mourn the fate of beloved
husband, dying far away from her,
a stranger in a strange land. Mr..
Boots was by nature machinist
and during his life followed milling
most of the time. Coming to Mis-.
souri, in 1878 he first located in st.
Louis county, but few months
later removed to St Clair county.
Next he trid his fortunes in the
Indian Territory returning here in
1882. He then built the floating saw
mill which for years was O familiar
object to the people along the Usage
and was afterwards taken to Arkan-
sa5. For some time past he had
operated saw mill on Sac river,
removing it to Oscsola last year.
Captain Boots was energetic and in
dustrious and possessed a kneck for
money, but not for keeping
it, and when the tales OF fabulous
fortunes that had been made in the
Klondike gold field reached here, he
resolved to try his luck in that far
off country and make last effort to
place himself and wife in a position
to enjoy their last years in comfort
hopes that were doomed to be blast
ed Just on the threshold of his antic-
Ipated ElDorado, and in their place
be found a grave beneath the ever
asting snow.-St. Clair Co. Demo

Men have & dreadful habit
As every one must know.
We see them chew tobacco
No matter where we go.
Oh, yes, they chew tobacco,
And chewing makes them spit,
When once they're in the habit
They seldom ever quit.
What is a young mans motive
For learning how to chew?
It's disgusting habit,
And, very filthy, too.
O, yes, he'll chew tobacco
Regardless of the cost,
He cannot do without it,
Without it he is lost.
1t oft deprives his family
OF things they greatly need;
But still he'll continue
To buy the filthy weed.
= yes, he'll chew tobacco
OF this he makes "biz,"
Yes, he is bound to chew it
No matter where he is.
He thinks it i. the custom,
This fact | will admit,
Some of our greatest statesmen
Know how to chew and spit.
0 yes, he'll chew tobacco,
Though he must knock around
He never gets without it,
He buys it by the pound.
When he has lost his credit
And money hard to get,
To try to stop he'll never,
But chew away and spit.
o yes, hell chew tobacco
He'll chew it all he can,
He thinks, without tobacco
He cannot be a man.
1t is costly habit,
This no one can deny,
1t causes him to hustle
For means whsrewith to buy.
O yes, they'll chew tobacco
No matter where they are.
The brands they banker after
Are "Battle ak" and Star"
To health it is injurious,
OF this there is no doubt,
1t makes him cross and Grabbed
If he should get without.
0 yes, he'll chew tobacco
He cannot get enough,
He dearly loves to chew il,
The filthy, baneful stuff.
If you should chance TO be girls,
A looking out to wed,
Do not accept the chsver
But someone else instead.
0 yes, he'll chew tobacco,
The man cannot be found,
Who'd lay aside tobacco
For any girl around.
Young men, il there any
Who have not learned TO chew,
Don't get into the habit
For it will ruin you.
o yes, he'll chew tobacco,
And never try to quit,
The height of his ambition
Will be to chew and spit.
