Telling The Truth.

Not long since II Missouri editor
announced that just for one issue
he would tell the truth, naked and
unvarnishcd, that is, the truth
was to be naked and unvurnished.
Here are three items;
John BOnin, the LATEST mer-
chant in town, made trip to
Bcllcville yesterday.
John Doyle, our groceyman, is
doing a poor business. His store

to him"
The young woman, according to
Adonis, was perfectly willing to
marry him, but the strenuous oh.
lection on the part of the mother
convinced her that the marriage
ought not take place, so the en-.
gagement was annulled.
Miss Martin is an actress of
some ability and has played
with the Casino Girl and
other companies, and is now
looking for m engagement
with one of the summer gardens
around st. Louis.
Adonis is very much diSappoint-
ed over the breaking of the engage.
ment. He said that he and Miss
Martin had planned to make the
trip to San Francisco together, and
afterward go on the stage in vaude-
vile.
Rev. $. NJ. Martin, the girl s
father, was also greatly opposed to
the match. His daughter has sung
in the First Presbyterian, Lindcll
NJ. +. and other churches, and is
well known in musical circles.
She is a pretty girl with dark hair
and eyes and has had many admir-
ers, but it remained for Adonis to
win her consent to marry.

FARMING.
To Be Taughtin All Missouri
Public Schools.

Columbia, Mo-, May GA
movement has been inaugurated to
introduce the study of agriculture
into the rural public schools of the
state. The movement is indorsed
by w. 7. Darlington, supcrintend-
ent of the state public schools, and
President X. II. Jesse of the Uni.
versity of MISSOURI.
The desirability of introducing
agriculture into the public schools
as subject of study, has been ad-
vocated n long time. 1t has been
discussed by the farmers of the
state and by all who have had any
thing to do with agricultural work.
According to the authorities of
the State Agricultural college and
Mr.. Ellis, the greatest drawback
in this line of work is the lack of
education on the part of teachers
along this liuc. To supply this
need the university four years ago
opened a summer school of agri-
culture and Horticulture designed
mainly for teachers Of the state.
The interest that is being taken in
the subject is evidenced by the
fact that these departments of the
university summer school have had
the largest portion of the attend
ancr.
Since the establishment of the
university summer school courses
in agriculture have been inaugu-
rated by the state normal schools
of Missouri and agriculture is
taught in many country public
schools. Circulars are now being
sent out TO ascertain the number
of country schools now teaching
this branch As indicative OF tn,
work being done, a letter was re-
ccived from the superintendent OF
public instruction of Michigan
stating that he had heard of tn,
work aud requesting an outline oi
the same. 1t was sent to hin
and in a second letter he statcC
he had taken the outline to II con
ference of the professors of th'
agricultural colleges and had stat
ed to them that Missouri wa.
ahead of all other states III the
matter Of teaching agriculture II
public schools.
The effort that is now making
has for its object the promotion o
the study Of agriculture III ever.

of Missouri.

little notoriety down at st. Louis
the other day. Her intended was
in this city few days later. His
name is Harry Adonis. He wears
a striped roundabout and is push
ing Il gaudily painted wheelbarrow
thru from n Michigan town to San
Francisco. The st. Louis Star
prints the following:
He wnS to have been married
Thursday afternoon to Miss Nina
Martin, of Bod Laclcde avenue,
but the girls mother objected and
the marriage will not take place.
Miss Nina Martin was the 375th
woman Adonis says that he could
have married on his trip and was
the only one that he fancied. The
other 374r Adonis says, proposed
to him, but he did not like them
well enough to get married.
Adonis left Michigan last Janu-
airy to walk to San Francisco,
pushing the whcelbarrow. He
was to reach the Pacific coast in
side of Il year, have made $500
without working and have gotten
married. If successful he would
win 81 800.
He reached st. Louis Monday
noon and as he passed along Olive
street trundling his wheelbarrow
he attracted crowds of people
many women stopping to hear
the travellers story.
Tuesday Adonis was sitting in Il
store on Olive street, where he cX-
hibits his wheelbarrow, when II Vi
vaciouS young woman came in to
make Il purchase. She listened to
Adonis tell the story Of his travels
and, like Desdamona, fell victim
to AdOnis' tales of travel and ad.
venture.
Before the couple parted Adoni,
says the young woman had prOmls
ed to become his bride, and that
they would make their honeymoon
trip over the roads with the wheel
barrow carrying the bride :

home to tell her parents.
"My daughter came home wild

to the Star Thursday.
