Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1900-05-10

Tuesday morning while James
Hooper was driveiug down
First Street his team fell all
over itself. The poor critters
were as thin as a shadow and
the air got into the black, rais3
ed him off his pins and over he
tumbled, thea fer company sake
the white, who was also thin
aud fullof wind tumbled over
on top of the black. At first
it looked like a case of die, but
the trouble proved to be case
of too much work and two little
corn. If corn was placed where
the wind was the horses would
stay on their feet.

McKlNLEY'S FIRST VETO.

After an incumbency of three
and a half years President Nc
Kinley has exercised his veto
power for the first time in the
case of a minor measure, the
Navajo Indian Reservation act.
The inference is that the de.
partments of the Federal Gov
erument have worked well to.
gether for good or evil and that
the President, his Cabinet and a
majority of both houses of Con-
gress have been in perfect har-
mony. Such harmony is an ad-
mirable aid to good government
when it's tendencies are right,
but il indicates a tremendous
Capitalization of power and
t here is no assurance that un.
checked power will ever be
right.
Had the President maintain
ed fixed policy in the Porto
Rican tariff matter, instead of
bowling to every changing wind
that blew, the veto of the Ma
vajo bill might not have been
his first. He and his party
would have been stronger and
better for a veto because they
would have been right. The
Porto Rican bill might have
been separated, leaving the
.ariff provision to be vetoed and
he government features APP
proved, and the country would I
hus have escaped the disgrace {
If violating a solemn pledge to {
Porto Rico and surrendering it's {
ime- honored principles Porto '
Rico would also have escaped l
he depression which resulted i
rom the delay in the passage '

distress and suffering would &
ave been averted.-St. Louis d

William Jennings Bryan made
the following pithy points in
his speech at Toledo Ohio.
THE constitution must follow
the flag.
When they say we have out
grown the constitution, then
they say we have outgrown the
republic.
We will make the constitu-
ton permanent if it takes 100
years.
Mexico, half Indian and half
Spanish, has prospered more
under a republic in 80 years
than India has in $50 years nm

THE DELICATE FLAVOR.
Unique Method of a French Chef who
Made q Most Palatable
SaSad. es

At one Of his famous little dim .rs a prom
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
his guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and Understandable. This was 50
faint that one guest declared: cts not =
taste at all; only a SMELL"
At length some one suggested, says What
to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked:
My man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad
in particular; At any rate, we'll see."
The Frenchman soon appeared, and was
visibly affected, not to say elated, by the
compliments.

II GOT HIM a LICKING.
An Ohioan's Hard Luck When stnrt-
Ing Out ms a Newspapers
Reporter.

Col. N. S. Jones, who presides over the
matrimonial bureau of the probate court,
had his newspaper aspirations chilled in a
moment when he was starting out in life. He
was living in the little town of Genoa, o.,
and the proprietor of the country weekly
asked him if he would not write a "squib''
colonel promised, as he saw an opening in
the newspaper field, and had long yearned
for q chance to secure a place in the profess
sion which seemed to him to offer many in
ducements. Consequently he wrote up sew
.eral items. Hard luck came at the start.
Among the first of his items was the follow
ing:
"Our esteemed friend and fellow towns.
man, Seth Bennett, is the greatest man in
the. world. He licked his wife the other
night and came ott without a scratch"
Hardly. had the paper appeared on the
street before Seth was on the lookout for
the colonel, and found him. Now all that
the colonel remembers of the fray was that
he gave Seth a harder fight than Seth's wife
had done. But he severed his connection
with the paper Immediately. He carried
scars for weeks to remind him of his first and
only, experience as a molder of the public
mind.

The retailers as well as the manufac-
