If the first assertion in this scintillating paragraph
We're true, Missouri would be 'out'' nearly So, 900. 900
by the sale of the United States bonds belonging to
the School Fund and the investment of the proceeds
in Missouri bonds. AS it happens and as every bust
ness man knows, the sale of the United States bonds
made possible q larger income for the schools by pay
ing to the Fund the interest which would otherwise
be paid to private bond owners.
The tommyrot about the proposed Constitutional
amendment being for the purpose of legalfzing the
certificates of Indebtedness is another assertion which
every business man and lawyer knows to be false.
Every certificate belonging to the School Fund is
legal. AS long as the certificates are in existence the
interest will be paid.
If Republican evidence to this effect We're desired
didate for the Republican nomination for the Sill
preme Court, might be taken. Ben F. Russell of
Steelville, candidate for Congress, has thought so in
the past, even If the exigencies of political ambition
may have changed his opinion. John l.. Bittinger.
Consul General to Montreal, thought they were legal
when he voted for their issuance.
Discussion of the School Fund is n welcome Issue
with the Democrats. The moral and mental weak
ness displayed in such expressions as the paragraph
quoted from the Milan Republican is characteristic o.
the manipulators in charge of the Republican, or
ganization. That the people are familiar with the ex-
ploitation of such senseless views Of business cues
lions is a safeguard against the States suffering from
their adoption.

why Big Fish Get Away.

1t is perfectly plain that large fish
are more apt to escape than small ones.
Their weight and activity, combined
with the increased thickness and re-
sourcefulness Of age and experience, of
course greatly increase their ability to
tear out the hook and enhance the dan.
ger that their antics will expose a fatal
weakness in hook, leader. line or rod.
Another presumption which must be
regretfully mentioned arises from the
fact that in many cases It is the en-
counter with a large fish which causes
such excitement and such distraction
or perversion Of judgment as leads the
fisherman to do the wrong thing or fail
to do the right thing at the critical in
stant.-Grover Cleveland in Saturday

THE FONT or THE JOKE.
IL Was DImcult For the Engiishmnn,
hut lie Finally Saw II.

A party OF E%nglishmen were In Chi
cage sightseeing some time ago. They
were entertained Mt dinner 10y some
Chicago Engllshmen who have lived in
America long enough TO have a keen
appreciation Of the American idea OF a
Joke. During the evening all the mem
beers OF the party told stories or sung
songs and entertained according to
their several abilities.
One OF the English visitors could see
nothing funny in the stories told by the
Chicago Englishmen. Every time one
of them would tell a good American
story at which most Of the party would
laugh uproariously this particular Eng
llshman would adjust his monocle TO
his eye and, looking wonderlngly
around the table, would remark, But
| say, | don't see anything in that to
laugh at, y knaw."
One Of the Chicago men finally re
cited an original poem. The poem told
OF an Englishman who had come TO
America and after being in this coun.
try only a short time had died and gone
TO another and much warmer country.
Ten years passed, and one d. an imp
passing that way heard the >glish.
man laughing u~proariously.
"Why, what are you laughing at?' in
quircd the imp.
"Oh, oh, oh, such n funny story as ]
heard in America! oh, It was so fun.
NY" laughed the victim, and he held his
hands TO his side and almost doubled
up with merrlment.
"A story you heard! Why, you've
heard no story" said the imp. you've
been dead ten years"
"Yes. yes, | know, l know" cried the
man. But I've just see the joke"
This poem set the table in a roar,
Amid all the laughing and shouting
the obtuse visitor adjusted his monocle
and drawled out, But. | say, / don't
see anything funny In that, y knaw."
"No," replied the mai who had read
the poem as quick as a flash. "Of
course you don't. You haven't been

1t was when the officers were seri-
ously debating this problem that the
natives approached them with what
was regarded as a curious solution of
the difficulty. If, proposed the latter,
the Europeans took all the rice, they,
the natives, would be quite content
with the water In which it was boiled.
The suggestion. in place Of any better,
was adopted, when ii was remarked
that willie the Europeans found 1t diff.
flcult to maintain their strength on full
rations OF rice the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks diet on
the water. When the proposal vas
made, the action OF the natives was
praised ms one Of great devotion to
their superiors, but the sentiment was
somewhat Modified when the dlscov.
cry was made that the natives were
quite aware that the principal nourish.
ment lay In the water.
Since that time Europeans in the orr.
ent, following the custom OF the ma.
tives, have given rice water to pa.
tients, particularly In cases of cholera,
ms n last resort when no other food a
be retained in the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al.
ways value this water so highly that II
is never thrown away.

TO discover how much may be done

are on hand ready to be planted out
