TnE wn1TE MANS BURDEN.
BY RuDrAnD K1pL1so.

Take up tho White Mans burden
Send forth the best 70 bresd-
Go, bind yourself to exile
To servo your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness
On huttsred folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Halt devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide.
To veil the threat Of terror
And shsck the show Of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
Tho savage wars OF peace
Fill full the mouth OF Famine,
And bid tho sickness cease;
And when your goal il nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to naught.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule Of kings.
But toll Of serf and sweeper
The tale OF common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up tho White Mans burden,
And reap his old reward
The blame Of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard
The cry OF hosts ye humor
(Ah, slowlyD toward tho light
why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian nightf"
Take up tho White Mans burden.
Ye dare not stoop to lees
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your weariness.
By all ye will or whisper,
By all 70 leave or do.
The silent. sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden
Have done with childish days-
The lightly -proffered laurel,
Tho easy, ungrudged praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dsar-bought wisdom
The judgment Of your peers.

Prize Fight Near Sumner.

The Sumner Star gives the follow
ing account of ''a fight to a freeze, "
which occurred near that place few
days ago:
On Saturday afternoon of last week
a couple of our citizens, whom, for
convenience we will denominate Jim
Corbett, champion of Sumner, and
Bob Fitzsimmons, champion of Yellow
Creek, had slight misunderstanding
at one of the resorts here in town, and
decided that they would walk outside
of the corporation and settle the dis
pute according to the Marquis of
Goosebcrry rules. On account of the
thermometer registering I6 degrees
below zero the crowd which followed
them to the battle-ground was very
small-just barely enough for seconds,
bottle-holders, time-keepers and ref
cree, hence the box receipts were
init" Owing to the extreme cold
the battle resolved itself into contest
as to who could stay the longest with
out freezing. In the first round the
time was put in skIrmishing for posi-
ton, the combatants gyrating around
each other like the wings of a whirl-
agig, each one trying to keep his op-
ponent between himself and the icy
northwest gale. In the second round
each one came up with a smile, which
said smile continued to beam from
their CountenanCeS until the end of
the mill, because their features be-
came fozen in that condition. In
round three both Corbett and FitZ
had their ears frozen. In the fourth
and last round the fingers of the ad-
versaries became frozen and the ref
cree declared it draw and all bets
off. 1t was suggested by some that
the matter be decided by filling their
mouths with cold water and seeing
which could sit on a hot stove until
the water boiled, but as this did not
seem te-meet their approoatIoRzt&
fight was declared permanently off.
Seriously speaking, however, it would
have been better for the reputation of
our town and all concerned if the
matter had never occurred.

Sol Stephens.

One Of the most popular passenger
conductors on the Wabash railroad is
Sol Stephens, whom nearly every man,
woman and child between Moberly
and Pattonsburg knows and likes.
He has been in the employ OF the
Wabash for 22 years, first as brake
man on a freight train, later as a con-
ductor on the local freight between
Moberly and Kansas City, and for the
past 3 years he has run 'the dude"
from Brunswick to Pattonsburg, but
which is now run alternately from Pat
tonsburg to Moberly and from Mo-
berly to Pattonsburg by Mr.. Stephens
and George Weldon, together with the
the Wabash out of Moberly to Pat
tonsburg and return, the latter being
the train that runs from St. Louis to
Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Sol Stephens is uniformly courteous
to all who ride on a train of which he
is conductor, whether they be old or
young. male or female, good-looking
or homely, rich or poor. If railroads
had more such genial and gentlemanly
employees as Sol Stephens they would
be more literally patronized.

Dismal Fruit Prospects.

The most important feature of the
regular monthly meeting of the Mis-
souri, Valley Horticultural society,
which convened at Kansas City last
Saturday, was the reports made on the
damage by the late cold snap. 1t was
the consensus of opinion that the
greater part of the fruit crop has been
seriously injured, and, as evidence IN
the form of sample branches of trees
was introduced, there seems to be a
most unfavorable prospect for fruit in
this part of the country.
It was stated by several frAt-grow-
ers that the peach and pear crops
have been practically ruined, while
grapes, far from ruined, have been
Seriously damaged. Apples are prac-
.tieally unhurt. Only the tender varie-
ties of cherries were injured and
blackberries suffered no damage, but
Iaspberries are generally killed to the
ground Nearly all the reports agree
with that made by J. c. Evans of the
famous Olden fruit farm, who said:
While we find few live buds on
some of the more hardy peach trees,
we find that in all the lower localities
the trees are very badly damaged or
killed outright. Some of the more
hardy plums and cherries may come
through, but we need not look for
much stone fruit this season. Some
varieties of apples are injured at the
tips and the raspberries are killed to
the ground. Blackberries are unin-
jured. If the fruit trees and plants
had been in the condition that they
usually are at this season I think that
all kinds of fruit would either have
been killed outright or 50 badly dam
aged that they would have been use
less"

The BrHHS70ickeT of last week says
of Keytesville's much beloved and re-
vered citizen: DR.. G.. NJ. Dewey and
his daughter, Miss Kate, of Keytes-
vile, were in Brunswick, Wednesday,
to attend the meeting of the board of
pension surgeons. DR.. Dewey has al
most lost his eye-sight from cataract
but is as companionable and interest
ing a conversationalist as ever and 1t
is a rare treat to sit and listen to the
witty and philosophical observations of
this kind-hearted old physician. What
a loss to humanity that he is forced to
retire from active practice owing to
the infrmities Of old age. The doc
tors many friends trust that the Oper-
alton to be made on his eyes in the
near future may fully restore his sight.

.Uncle" Dick Perkinson, a highly
respected colored citizen living 1-2
hliles northwest of Keytesville. died of
spinal meningitis last Saturday morn
ing about two o'clock after an illness
of less than as hours. Uncle" Dick
was aged 68 years and was a native OF
Prince Edwards county, Va, but had
lived in Charlton county ever since he
was a small boy. He was formerly a
slave and belonged to DIR. T. P. Perkin-
son of near Prairie Hill. Since his
freedom, by hard work, good manage
ment and economy ''Uncle" Dick
had acquired considerable estate and
his family, consisting of a wife and six
children-fve sons and one daughter
are left with property worth about
$1,000. He was one of the few remain
ing old-fashioned darkies that every
body liked, and was one of the pillars
of the colored Baptist church in
Keytesville. His remains were laid to
rest in the City cemetery, Sunday af
ternoon, Rev. Ernest Hamilton of
Rhode Island conducting the funeral
services at deceased's home.

T. r. Hamilton. an atache of the
Peoples bank at Salisbury, came over
to the capital, Wednesday, but found
everybody so busy he concluded that
no one over here knew the twenty
second of February was Washington's
birthday and was generally observed
as a national holiday. Keytesville
people are a busy people, and believe
that if George Washington could
speak he would tell them to work
whenever they have work to do re-
gardless of his birthday or anybody
else's birthday.

DR.. G. NJ. Dewey, accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Kate, returned to
St. Louis, Tuesday afternoon, for the
purpose of having his eyes operated
on for cataract. The doctor has been
having his eyeIids treated for granuIa-
ton for some time, and as the gran
ules have healed the doctor thinks his
oculist will now operate for cataract.
The COURIER sincerely hopes that the
operation will bring the desired re-
suits, for we believe that DR.. Dewey
deserves better fate than his present
sightless condition.

For the benefit of the Salisbury
Press-.SbeetatOr the COURIER will say
that w. H. B. is one of the very few
men in Salisbury who is broad-gauged
enough to see or acknowledge merit
in new spaper or anything else out
side Of the corporate limits of that
selfish, ''stuck-up' little city. If
Salisbury had more men who were
built on a broader and less selfish
scale, that place and her people would
be far more popular as well as more
prosperous than they are now. Besides,
we have won the Press Spectator
dime, on its profered wager, for we
enjoyed a smoke at the gentleman's
expense whom the P-S. attempts to
belittle. If Brother Gallemore is not
too small potato we shall expect him
to send over that dime, and the edi-
tor of the COURIER will smoke a ro-
center at the Press Spectators ex-
pense.

with assauIting his uncle, Thos. Hig-

tried by jury in Justice F. M. Lewis

temper get the best of him and slapped
his klnsman on the side of the head
