A clergyman was very anxious to in- troduce some hymn books into the church, and arranged with his clerk that the latter was to give the notice immediately after the sermon. The clerk, however, had a notice of his own to give out with reference to the bap- tism of infants. Accordingly, at the close of the sermon be arose and an nounced:
 All those who have children whom they wish to have baptized please send their names at once to the clerk"
 Tue clergyman, who was stone deaf, assumed that the clerk was giving out the hymn-book notice, and immediate Iy arose and said:
 And I should say, for the benefit of those who haven't any, that they may be obtained at the vestry any day from three to four o'clock; the ordinary lit tie one at one dollar each, and special ones with red backs at one dollar and fifty cents"

Death Of ThOs. Richardson.

Th0S. Richardson, the pioneer mer-
cnant, died at his home On North A
street Monday morning at ll:20
Death was painless; his life went out
like the f.Ckerlng out OF a candle that
had burned itself away; death was
the result Of wearing out Of the
system. He had lived past the three
score years and ten, the allotted time
for man on this earth, and his soul
departed this life Of activity FOR the
peaceful exiStenCeiD the great beyond.
The deceased was born at Frankfort,
KY, April 2, 1914, being Sc years, 6
months and days old at the time Of
his death. 10 1885 he moved to Mar.
ion county, Missouri, and began a
commercial career that covered per-
iOG Of 20 years without interruption,
ending in his death Ghis morning. As
long as he was able to lie Ou his feet
he was at his store, where he took as
active an interest in the business as
any person connected win it. 1t is
only few weeks since he was able to
come to the store regularly aud spend
several hours there every day. About
seven weeks ago his system cOmmen-
Ced to give way rapidly and he had
since been confined to his bed.
Mr.. Richardson was, with one
exception, the oldest merchant in
Wellington. Next to Fl. W. Andrews
he had been in business here longer
than any other Wellington man. He
came to Wellington from lancaster
Mo-, in 1879. He was engaged iu
business 10 Missouri for forty wears
at LaGrange, Monticello and Lam
caster.
At Philadelphia, Mo, in 1916 he
was married to Miss America G.
MuldrOw. Eight children were born
to them, only two OF whom, John c.
Richardson Of Wellington, and Tom"
Richardson of Houston, Tex, are
living. Their first child. Vim. A,
was born April q, lS47, and died June

ding anniversary was celebrated at
their comfortable home on A street.
at which many of the old residents of
Wellington were present. The respect
10 which Wellington people hold this
aged couple, and their manifestations
Of it upon every occasion was a source
Of great comfort to the deceased and
his wife.
Mr.. Richardson had been a member
Of the Baptist church as long as his
surviving children can remember. He
helped to organize and build the Wei

charter member Of it. he was a con.

has been reduced $1,000 in TIE last

This account is for claims OF the state
