Many have been the doleful stories
of travellers returned from Europe

posed upon long-suffering Americans
in the lands across the Atlantic. And
now comes a distinguished Chioasoan
who declares that in Germany recently
he was charged for fresh air. With
his wife and family he was journeying

the wife of the Chicagoan asked him
to communicate with the guard. In
each compartment in European trains
is a handle connected with q bell roQs
leading to the guards cab. Near tAs
handle is posted a notice warning Dae-
sengers that the guard Is not - -
summoned except in Desperate caeGA
such as murder, etc, under penang.
The Chicagoan could not read qermAA.
but he knew that his wife wantDo

Christian life would be the only

you were in universal use; sup

versal sway; suppose its theory
that cit is more blessed to give
han to receive were in operation
everywhere; suppose its high ideal
of "peace on earth, good will to
men," prevailed; suppose it great
dominating principals of love filled
and permeated every avenue of
human endeavor weNldn't this
world blossom as a rasel Why,
we wouldn't need heaven except
for those who ha been compelled
to obey the final call and leave the
heaven on earth. 1t would drive
every wolf from the door, it would
dismantle every fort and divert all
the vast expenditures of war into
the channel of benevolence; it
would close every jail and peni,

Bulletin of the Weather Bureau
Missouri Section for the Month
of November 1901

TIE exceptionally pleasant
weather which characterised the
moth of October, 1901, continued
throughout the moth of November
There was some sharp frost but no
severef reezing weather. The mean
temperature of the month differed
Titled from the normal, but oveI
the greater part of the state the
precipitation was deficient, many
of the northern and western coun-
ties receiving less than l inch. The
heaviest rains fell in the southern
counties where, in a few Localities
the total for themopth was from
2 to 4 inches.
In most of the western counties
wheat has made good grOth and is
in Il very promising condition bu'
in nearly all of the central and
eastern counties ito growth has
been retaded by dry weather, and
10 II few counties the stand is VERY
poor and the outlook disCouraging
In general, however, the crop is
looking well considering the light
rainfall In ssme of the south
western counties much wheat has
been pastured. Slight damage bs
fly is reported in a few counties,
and worms have also cased some
injury in Il few of the sovtbern
counties. Considerable corn still
remains in shock in the fields but
is in good condition, except where
damaged by worms. In most sec
tons the weather has been too drS
for nusking Much Germ has been
shredded. Cotton picking in tho
southeastern counties is practically
completed. Fall pastures have
afforded considerable feed in potion
of the western and southern g
tons, but over the greater potion
of the state they have beun yer,
poor. Stock water Is now NOR,
plentiful in some of the southern
counties, bat in most sections it
continues very scarce. Consider
able frll blowing has been done il
some districts, but in many counties

the subjects. 1t is seldom that peo-

their own statues. Such honors are
usually reserved until they are dead.
In thiscasethere was no formal dedica-

his head sadly as if in disapproval and

Bjornson, being a man of impetu-

Another Press CensIred..

Last evenings News jumped onto
the members of the Legislature for
drawing S1D for the session for station
cry etc The article mentioned in one
paragraph that the thing is steal. >
This paragraph stirred the ire OF a
point.
Asse n blymen' Skaggs and Allen
took the tloor On ii matter OF personal
privilege and denied that the State
was ''tiIched" ont of any money. Dur
ing Mr.. Allen ) protest he stated that
when the Republicans held sway, the
appropriation was 500 for stationery
etc, since the silver people took hold
of the affair, the allowance has been
but $40.
Mr.. Skaggs stated that he cOnsid
cred the article malicious and false
etc, and was ready to test...the matter
with the News man in spite of the
prize fight law.
Mr. Wilson also took tumble out
of our contemporary. He stated that
he did not believe that the action Of
the nom bers OF the Legislature were
dishonest, and when the News editor
so stated, that he lied.
Mr.. Platt then took the floor and
though not defending the action Of the
News, he believed tina: the dignity OF
the members should forbid such action
as was bein. taken, a. it was below
their considcrati on.
The chair came TO the rescue OF ths
paper and called the House to order.

The LEGISLATURE.

1t IS customary to charge every retiring
Legislature with the distinction Of being
worse than any of its predecessors 1t
quarter of a century, and the same criti-
cism will continue.
This mode Of criticism usually comes
from people who have some pet measure
spoiled etc. The test of tho value of a
Legislature comes later, when time de-
monstrates the real utility or uselesness
of laws enacted by practical application.
