REFERRING TO the political meet
ing Of the Republican editors Of Mis-
souri 10 st. Joseph a few days slice
the Platte City Landmark editorially
says "Mayor Combe, Of 81. Joseph,
is a full blown, radiant, red and yell
low chrysanthemum. He is likewise
something OF a distinguishing daisy.
Last week the Republican editors met
in st. Joseph and Mayor Combe occu-
pied 40 hour In welcoming them 10 the
city. He called Il a Republican city
the only one Of the three great
cities that was redeemed. And bow
well the city had p~rospered and grown
under Republican rule and all that.
And n0w comes the comptroller Of the
city and gives in his report, saying
the city is sl0,sss.O3 in debt and not
enough noney TO pay the cents. And
this, too, with the kind and gentle
leaves filling up the deep holes In the
streets and alleys, and every depart
ment in that Republican blessed city
without funds 20 carry on its business.
This is too bad that Comptroller John
son should bring in this forlorn report
after Mayor Combe's bombastic speech
Of the greatness lof the holes In the
street, and debit Of the only great Re
publican city 10 Missouri"

hi CHRISTMAS R z

OF all the trees in the woods and fields,
There's none like the Christmas tree
Tho rich and rare is the fruit be yields,
The strangest Of trees is he.
Some drink their dll from shower OF
rill;
No cooling draught needs he;
Some bend and break when the storms
awake,
But they reach not the Christmas tree.
When the wintry winds thro' the for.
ests sweep,
And snow robes the leahess limb,
When cold and stiil is the ice-bound
deep,
o, this is the time Of him,
Beneath the dome Of the sunny home
He stands, with all his charms;
Mid laugh and song from the youth
throng,
As they gaze on his fruitful arms.
There's golden fruit on the Christmas
tree,
And gems for the fair and gay;
The lettered page for the mind bean
he,
And robes for the wintry day.
And there are toys for the girs and
boys;
And eyes that years bedim
Grow strangely bright, with a youth
fui light,
AS the pluck from the pendant limb.

LOUISVILLE KY, Dec Thomas
P. Watts who signed anagreement q
eat his straw hat In case the Repgbli.

has come 70 the conclusion that hi:
digestive capacity IS hardly equal to .
whole straw hat menu 50 be has de
cided TO follow the plan originated By
the man who ate q bird every day. Hs
took his first bite out Of the nos
celebrated straw bat with no serious
results The bite was taken to tn
presence Of 3 reporter. IL viii tax
about loo bites to dispose OF the hat
He has confidence in his ability to &C
oompliSh the feat
The agreement 20 eat the straw ha'
has given Mr.. Watts an internationa
reputation. English, French, Ger
man and ven Chinese papers hav,
commented on the AFFAIR. In th,
Chinese publications there is a sng
gestion to match some Of the natiVs
g0urmands against Mr.. Watts in !
bird nest eating contest. When asked
if he would enter such a contest Mr.
Watts said that he preferred to wait
ana see how be stood the straw hal
diet
Much interesting comment has beer
made on the novel agreement. The
many friends OF Nh. Watts in variou;
parts Of this country are sending him
various newspaper clippings bearing
on the matter. A Montreal paper con-
tanned the following paragraph: "a
Louisville man is tOeat a straw hat to
pay an election bet. ANY jackaSs
could do that"
Mr.. Watts received a postal card
from another friend in Canada. The
address was as follows: Thomas
Pixley Watts, Esq, Louisville, KY,

Eater
The foreign papers are having lotsoi
fun out Of the incident. A French
journal headed an account Of the fact
with "Une Affaire Stupide," while a

MONEY FOR SMITHS.

From the sunDury pa Daily Paper.
There is a fortune Of S 5000, 600 to be
distributed among certain Smiths, II
they can prove their identity, accord
ing to the story Of Mrs. A. j. Smith,
who claims Sunbury her home. A
dillgent investigation was made here,
but even the Oldest inhabitants have
NO recollection Of the woman and 1t Is
doubtless If the woman is sure where
Of she speaks. The following article

Cummings, Of this city, tells Mrs.
Smiths story which may prove Of in
terest TO the Smiths Of this city II no
one else 1.-THE LEDoERis article then
foliowed.)
The Item, another daily paper pub
llshed at Sunbury, winds up an article
ABOUT this matter as follows:
A careful perusal Of late and old
directories failed to give the name Of
Mrs. A. J. Smith as a resident Of this
place, and all efforts 10 learn anything
Of her deceased husband, Gen. A. ].
Smith, through several Grand Army
men have proven fruitless. One GER
tain fact concerning the a Is that II
the large fortune proves to be a reality
and not a myth and 1t is eventually
secured it will not last as long as the
winters snow IL it has TO be divided
among the Smith family, for to pick
up a regiment Of Smiths would take
but a short time and be a very easy
matter.
