DAVE BALL.

our earnest admiration,
Religious differences, nation
al prejudices. hereditary antip.
athies are all thrust aside to
make room for the one senti.
ment OF enthusiastic reverence,
when we come to examine the
character of one who has prov
ed his title clear to the respect
of posterity.
The great state of Missouri
has produced many great men.
Even in our own day it has set
up its heroes, but never has
Missouri brought forth a son
more worthy of her stern viri-
llty, more deserving of the
praise of all posterity than the
man who is going to be it's next
Governor.
The name of Dave Ball is one
that will be sounded down the
ages to come with ever increas.
Ing volume by the clarion tone
OF fame. The magnitude of the
work which lie accomplished
during the campaign of 90 and
his devotion to the cause of free
silver 16 to 1 Cannot as yet be
fully measured; time alone can
demonstrate the true value of
his efforts in behalf of Democ-
racy in Missouri.
But to the Democrats of Mis-.
souri, it belongs to vindicate the
nobility of this great man: on
them devolves the solemn duty
OF handing down to future gen
erations Il monument of the
lofty motives that fires his soul
ana upholds his principles in
order to carry on his noble con-
hict; and this they can do by
making him their choice, by
placing at his feet their great
est gift, by electlng him gov
ernor.
The secret of a mans great
ness lies not i'll the external
conditions. 1t is much truer
that the man makes the occa-
sion, thau the occasion makes
the man. External circumstau-
ces may indeed have much to
do with exciting and develop
ing internal greatness, but un
less within the soul there be the
germ of that greatness, never
can circumstances, however
great, however we'll disposed
not be OF the subject Il great
man. The main spring of Il
mans actions lies within him.
self, and if that spring be weak
and vacIliating the resultant
must inevitable be in accord
Herewith. Dave Balls great
ness may be summed up in few
words; he is a man of Principle.
In looking, with the eye of
critic over the campaign of "96"
1t is difficult to separate Dave
Ball from the Democratic party
of Missouri. He has been so
wrapped up in the interests of
Democracy that to separate him
from his party would be TO
break the ties which bind Il man
to his most cherished prospects.
And why should it be other
wise?
If a man unite his power with
a body of men who. he believes.
are working for the public good
i ask, why should he not cher.
ish the principles of his party,
work with them heart and soul,
support them when defeated.

when he packed his clothes to 90 she

PROFESSIONAL ANXIETY BEARER
shows n Hostess How to Bc Happy
While Entertaining.

w Nht1f
How to be happy, though the hostess of a
large dinner party with a long menu, is
what an exceedingly thoughtfur young lady,
at the rate of from So to s. an evening, is
showing a number OF wealthy women. This
young lady, who enjoys a great gift for all
artistic devices and practical measures in
connection with entertaining, lost her own
fortune not long ago and In looking around
for means of bread winning decided to
become a professional bearer of dinner party
anxieties.
Her idea was too good not to fall into
prompt and profitable working order and
last winter she had rather more engagements
at s. an evening than she could fill. What
she does literally is to manage dinners, or
wedding breakfasts or large luncheons. and
though she neither cooks nor waits on table
she fufills most important mission
She stands before the hostess in all worry.
half hour before the meal is served she
appears In the dining room and sees to 1t
that the butler has got the table set and
his own toilet arranged and the pink OF
perfection, that the wines are rising or fall
ing to precisely the right temperature, then
she dons her big apron, and as guests file
into the dining room she takes her stand
by the pantry's dumb waiter, to not only
observe that every dish comes up exactly
on time. but piping hot when 1t ought to be
hot, chilled to the marrow when the chill
is necessary, but, furthermore she tastes it
to see that Its, flavor is exactly what 1t
ought to be.
Having quick wit, resourceful mind and
profound knowledge of French cookery. she
takes care that no dish passes onto the table
that Is not above reproach Where she stands
In the pantry there is heard none of the
crash and grind of dinner party machinery;
no long waits between courses elapse, and
the first drop of every wine poured must
first be tested on her sensitive pink tongue.
Now this may seem sinecure, but CRATE
alted modern philanthropy, for even if the
butler is a perfectly new man, the cook n
possible traitor to her trust and the ca
terer apt to play tricks with his ices and
sorbets, so long as the dinner manageress
is at the pantry helm nothing can go wrong,
no cold soups, no hot champagne dried UP
birds, or scotched vegetables will ever make
their appearance at the table. With all the
ease Of an unfettered soul the hostess can
give her whole mind to her guests. If she
Is hostess new at the business she can
send for the manageress beforehand and
have her dinner all planned for her, every
detail considered, even to the color of the
flowers and the pattern on the tablecloth
and the very latest surprise in an epicurean
delicacy worked up for the, envious delecta-
tion OF her guests. But this is an extra.
