Clarence CASTOR, son of Key
tesville's postmaster, who graduated
at Bryant & STATIONS business COL
lege in Boston last summer and came
home during his fathers severe Ill
ness, since his retnrn to Boston
has accepted good position with the
Travellers Accident Insurance com.
pany of America as policy-writer. So
licltors send IN the applications and
Clarence's duty is to write the pol
icies. Being young and having no
experience in the business, Clarence
was very modest in asking to be tried
for year at a salary of $50 month,
but was assured that his salary would
be increased at the end of the year
provided his services were acceptable.
In fact, the president of the institu-
ton told him that if he was worth no
more than $5o month to the COM
pany after one years experience he
would not want him at all. Clarence
writes that the president of the com-
pany gets salary almost equal to
that of the president of the United
States. Horace Greeley's advice to
young men was to ego west and grow
up with the country" but we can
name several young men from Mis-.
souri, who have gone east and have
amassed wealth and secured impor-
tant and lucretive positions by their
industry. sobriety and integrity. Ex-
amples like these should encourage
our boys and young men to strive to
be something and somebody, but if
they ever amount to anything worth
naming, they cannot take the cigar
cite, whiskey or gambling route.

Santa Claus at Henry Smiths.

One Ot tne most pleasant Social
events of the season happened at the
palatial home of Mr.. and Mrs Henry
Smith two miles north of Keytesville
last Friday night. The host and hos
tess are newcomers, having moved
here from Illinois last spring and
and rented the M. F. Courtney farm
until they could look around and pur-
chase farm of their own, which they
have since done.
Mrs. Smith, good woman that she
is, conceived and executed the plan
of having a neighborhood Christmas
tree, on which there should be one or
more presents for every chlld of the
neighborhood. The nelghbors gem
orally fell in with the idea and rem
dered such help as was necessary.
Before the guests had assembled
every room of the capacious residence
was brilliantly lighted. In a room
adjoining the large parlor and con.
nected Herewith by foldiog doors
the Christmas tree was arranged,
upon which were hung presents, ag-
gregating in value about $500. Rev.
J. L. Rout, the popular resident pas
tor Of Bethany church, was present
and invoked the divine blessing, fol-
lowed with a few appropriate re-
marks, after which a telephone mes
soge was received from Santa Claus
stating that he had expected Rev.
Rout to act in his stead. but on &C
count of his being indisposed, SAINTS
had concluded to come in person and
distribute the presents. Shortly there
after the door bell gave notice of San
ta's arrival and he was admitted into
the presence Of the guests to the great
delight Of the little folks. Then the
doors to the room IN which the
Christmas tree and presents were wal
opened and lovely aght presented

happy and pronouncing the praises Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, who had afford
ed the $50 or more guests such a
nice and enjoyable time.
This was the first entertainment OF
the kind ever given at private resi-
dence in that neighborhood, and as
it was such grand success, no doubt
the custom will be perpetuated. At
any rate this one will be held in pleas

The mysterious death of the young man at Harrison last week as reported by the Harrison papers, was not murder and rob bery, as we had itlast week.
 Il may have been murder, how ever, but tbero are other theories, and there seems to be no evidence at all of robbery.
 The man had been drinking heavily for several days, and il may have been that he sustained the bruises by falling Anyway, tIiat part of il is mystery to which no clue has been found.
