A Mexico Hunter.

The following is taken from the
Moberly Monitor:
The hunting party, composed of
Jerry Simpson, Dave Robertson,
Bob Arnold, Herb Tucker, of Mex
leo, and Frank Forney, of this
city, which left about two weeks
ago for a big hunt in the West.
are at home again. When the Mon
itor called upon Frank this morn
ing we found him in the best of
spirits and with a healthy look up
on his face. In reply to our qucs-
tons he told the following regard
ing his trip:
Our first stop was at Fort
Collins, Colo. From there we
drove overland about POO miles
and camped, making the trip at
the rate of 40 miles day. We
found plenty of deer and killed
several, one of the finest being
killed by Mr.. Herb Tucker Just as
we started home. Fish were caught
in abundance from streams of wa
ter as clear as crystal and as cold
as ice. Black bass were the fay-
Orite and a few mountain trout
were caught. At killing deer
had no success, tho | shot at sew
eral. My one kill was that of &
badger. Herb Tucker had the
most exciting experience of us all
He was out looking for deer when
he saw a black bear about seventy.
five yards away. He wouldn't at.
tempt a shot at that close range
and waited until bruin was off Il.
bout $50 yards and then let hin
have it. The first shot hit the
mark and Mr.. Bear started toward
Heib on the run. For ten see
onds Herb said that he didn't
breathe and then realizing that it
meant life or death to him, h,
gave the old fellow one more shot
This must have hurt him pretty
bad for he stopped and ran into
the woods. When Herb reached
camp the boys as ked him why h
didn't look for the bear after tina
last shot. Herb answered that Il,
hadn't lost any bear meat an,
wasn't looking for any"

Among the "reminiscences relat-
ed at reunion of old settlers at
Jamesport, Mo-, the other day
was told how in the early days it
was only ordinary pastime to get
up and kill redskin before break
fast, how honey was found in ev-
cry hollow tree and sometimes on
the grass tuft on the prairie, how
deer aud antelope horns sold for
twenty-five cents, how the old roll
cards, spinning wheel aud loo IN
were the sole dependence for new
clothing, and how the old horse
mill would grind one grain of corn
at a time for customers coming
twenty miles to mill and waiting
days for their turn at the grist.

EMIGRATION DECLINING
In the West and Increasing In the South

One of the most striking features in
the business life of the country
brought out by the new census is the
seeming decline in emigration to the
west and a corresponding increase to
the south.
Eastern comments upon the fact
that the center of population in
the United States has moved west
ward but very short distance in the
last decade denote conclusion that
there is an end to the phenomenal
growth that characterized the earlier
development of the western states.
Incidentally the marked increase in
eastern population is noted with spec
iai satisfaction by the papers in that
section.
While immigration in the west has
been retarded somewhat, the quota of
population is so far below that of the
older commemorative as to make q
tremendous increase inevitable, even
If the gains are more gradual in the
future than have been in the
past. For the purpose of showing the
relation between area and population,
Chicago paper prints the following

Say, here's an ad;
It's awful bad,
But I've writ it
So You'll git it.

Say, here's an ad;

But I've writ it
So you'll git it.
Read it slowly, lowly, loudly
Read it loud and then some louder.

THIS is TALCUM WEEK.
Here is spring and summer weather
With their sunshine punched together
And in molten hunks they bring it,
And in bolt and chunks they fling it
At you, round you, on you, Ger you,
Wrap you in it, scorch you, score you
Till you feel the perspiration down
your spinal column trickle,
And your skin feels rolled up red hot
like slab of tripe in pickle.
This ad might run longer in this pa
per if the weather warmed up, but it's
thin enough to run a 1000 miles in a
snow drift.
There's ticklish, prickly feelin'
In the summer heat that darts
Up and down, across and round you
In million, trillion smarts,
Well as if billion jiggers
Were a-rutin' for their picllin's
And scratch and jab your hide at
Just like the very dickens.
On fat men and on babies
Girls, old maids and old ladies,
Sprinkle Talcum Powder.
Then it's say, July the middle,
When the skeeter's start to fiddle,
And the flies put on their frescoes on
the wall.
And the puppy wears his pants,
And the summer girl her glance,
But of course this is not exactly all,
Use Talcum Powder
When the air is baked and dried,
Rolled in dust, and toasted, fried
Szzled, frizzled
Till it's grizzled,
Through sand screen it is drifted
Through a collander it is sifted
First to breath it.
Talcum Powder.
But here I'll say
There's just one way
To keep off summer itches;
That's cool your skin
BY wearing thin
Big shirtless waists and breeches
And
Dust yourself with Talcum.
I've had the nerve to buy so gross
but the prices hanging to it will put q
hump on it. All in elegant tins. Aliens

Paint
Neglect
Costs Money.

Many who care little for appearances
are equally regardless of the preserta-
tive value of paint. Such economy
brings an actual loss. A poorly pro
tected building suffers more damage in
one year than it should in ten.
Good paint is always worth twice its
cost. 1t is worth its cost as a beauti-
fer, and it is worth still more for the
protection it affords.
We handle nothing in paints that is
not of the most worthy quality, and
our prices will appeal to all who seek
real economy.

The original settlement and develop
ment of the west--which were among
the maryels in the worlds history
ware based upon agricultural and min
ing opportunities afforded by the new
domain, and upon the liberal provis
ions made by the federal government
for the taking up Of these lands. While
a great deal of Xcellent public land
remains to be occupied, it may be said
that most of that most advantageous
ly located has been utilized. Increas-
ed population due to agricultural and
mining pursuits will come largely in
the nature of subdivisions attending
higher cultivation.
But the greater cause of future in
crease in western population will
| doubtless arise from the development
of manufacturing interests. 1t is in
evitabe that with increased competi-
tion, larger western population will
doubtless arise from the development
of manufacturing interests. 1t is in
evitable that with increased competi-
tion, larger western markets and
greater western capital will come larg-
er and more numerous manufacturing
establishments nearer the fields OF
production This element in western
industrial life may be said to be only
at its beginning, but its possibilities
and probabilities may be contemplated
with great confidence.
1t is precisely this which is making
the new south. The west promises
even greater opportunities.
