MISSOURrS FAV0RlTE "CHAW."
An Old Farmer Tells How the "FuSt
Settlers Made Their "Terbaker."
Kansas City Journal

An old Missourian from one Of the
brush districts of Saline County was a
witness in the Circuit Court in Marshall
last week, the Index" says. While
waiting in an aneroom he pulled from
| his pockel chunk OF tobacco six inches
long, two inches in diameter and per-
fectly round and smooth and rs hard
almost as flint. After he had cut of a
chew a man who had watched him ask
ell him what ii was. 'Gerbaker J. he
answered. "Yes, know, but what kind
! is il ?" "My own kind" "Where do
YOU buy ,t?' Don't buy it It's home
spun terbaker. make it myself"
In response to good deal Of question:
Ing the OH man told his story of how
the roll of tobacco was made: "Fust
and 70 most" he said, "you must have
good upland homegrown leaf tefbailer
and cure it in the sun. Then you stem
it, takin' out all the stalks. When you're
ready in the Fall to make up your years
supply of chawin terbaker, you saw of
a hickory log and bore hoe in one end
about a foot deep with two.inch anger.
You have your leaf soaked in honey and
peach brandy; or if you haven't any
peach brandy, apple brandy will do. You
put your soaked terbaker leaves into the
two-inch anger hole in the hickory log
and ram it down tight and keep putting
in the leaf and ramming it down till the
hole is nearly full. Then you take
hickory plug made to fit the hole, and
drive it in as tight as you can with a
maui. This mashes the terbaker into a
solid chunk. Then you put the green
hickory log on the fire and let 1t burn
slow till it is heated all through and the
sap begins TO sizzle out of the ends You
take the log off then and put it out of
doors to cool over night. The next
you split the log open and
here's your chunk of chawin' terbacker

climate, but it's tie sweetest chaw in the

China We haye, PERHAPS, tie richest min
eral country in the world, and at The same
time a country whose wealth is only just
now being tapped by the foreigner. More

and the people are industrious and frugal.
China is, in Short one Of the natural gar
dens of the earth, and it is little wonder
that the eyes Of the peoples less fortunate
ly situated should have looked covetously
upon her.
At present Great Britain holds what al.
most amounts TO 4 monopoly OF the trade
of the country, and as Australia develops
it is to be expected that the total Of Brit
ish commerce will be largely augmented.
But can we dare to hope that we shall in
in the future enjoy the same relative posi-

So far we have practically had no compel

rather envous English eye.
But whatever be tie prospects Of Ger

THE rule has been for Presidential
election years to be bad business years.
This promises to be an exception. The
reason is very plain. Confidence in the
business policy of the Mckinley Admin

be extended for another four years has
done the work.

Senator Chambers Paper on Mckinley

concord Monitor (kep.U
With great tact, with kindly spirit to-
ward all, with the largest tolerance for the
views of others, President Mckinley has
piloted his party and the country through
many embarrassments. No Admnistra-
ton since Lincoln's has had confronting it
more difficult problems to solve. The
President, amid all the storms of reploach
and calumny, has quietly but firmly fol-
lowed the dictates Of duty. Recognizing
the power of organization, he has success
fully influenced his party and been in
fuenced by it to 20 shape its policy that
its action would be united. Others might
have made more dramitic poses, might
have secured more of temporary applause,
but the patriotism and loyalty of President
Mckinley have submerged self in the
generous purpose to secure the greatest
good for bis country. The results seemed
to testify to his breadth of mind and
craftsmanship.

TIE iliterate white men of the State Of

Democratic party is so anxious to deprive
them of the right to vote. The Democrats
say the reason they want to change the
