Blessings, earth's choicest, and fair;
Health's brightest %coronal, wealth's modest

And Love, Peace and Purity reign.

And garner the rich, golden sheaves:
Labors the sweetest your genius can know,
Garlands that loyalty weaves.
I'd bring all the magnifed glories OF youth
To sweeteen the close of life's years;
And the Heaven-crowned blessings Of Love

To calm all your doubts and your fears.
These at your feet on your birthday I'd lay
With heart all unselfsh and true,
And then softly say, as l turned me away
"'Tis not the one-half l WoHH do"

IT is funny to hear Republicans
abuse those in control of the educa-
tional department OF the State for
dragging the schools OF Missouri into
the mire of politics. They insinuate
that Professor Darlington has con-
Quoted his office with the sole view OF
benefting the political party to which
he belongs. 1t is complained that the
State Board OF Education is acting
along narrowly partisan lines. The
people who indulge in %innuendoes Of
this character are not acting In good
faith, for a cursory investigation will
show that their charges have no
foundation in fact. The State Board
of Education, consisting OF the Cover
nor, the Secretary of the State, the
Attorney General and the State Super
intendent of Public Schools, has the
appointment OF one member of the
County Board of Education in each
county. This appointment has usu-
ally been made at the suggestion Of
the teachers OF the county. Where it
was evident that the position was be-
Ing sought for selfish or partisan pur-
poses, and it was evident the appoint.
ment would not be for the best inter-
ests Of the schools OF that county, the
State Board used it's own discretion.
In every instance it has acted i'm
partially. We are entirely willing to
place the record OF the State Board
side by side with the record OF any
Republican County Board in the State
and submit them to the public. The
lnsinuation that Professor Darlington
had anything to do with the selection
of the school books now In use, is en-
tirely ridiculous. He was conducting
institutes In the counties OF Greene
and Franklin In the hummer Of 1897,
while the text book commission was
In session. This was while Professor
Kirk, the Republican State Superin-
tendent was In Office and a part OF the
text book commission. II Republi-
cans desire to take a fall out Of their
past administration of the educational
affairs Of the State, Democrats will
have no serious objections. Professor
Darlington has spent the best ener-
gies Of his life in ~unselfish work among
the children Of Missouri, and those

To be denied the use of a finger bowl
at meals is one OF the penalties people
have TO pay for the privilege of being
invited to meet English royalty. 1t is
piece of antiquarian lore and dates
back to the time Of the pretender.
Then the Jacobites used to raise their
glass over the finger bowl in order to
drink to the king, The reference was
obvious. for they meant to ..the king
over the water, although they did not
dare say so.
Some people have declared that the
Jacobltes used TO drink from the finger
bowls themselves to Charlie across
the water, but this is a needless as
persion on the followers of james II.
Good men and true. they were no more
in the habit of drinking water than the
rest Of the people OF the time. and the
drinking vessels in those days were
sufficiently large to obviate the use
Of finger bowls as we understand them
