The Magnificent Revenge Of n Gov
crnor OF Missouri.
/ While Robert Stewart was governor
or Missouri a steamboat man was
brought in from the penltentiary as an
applicant for pardon. He was large,
powerful fellow, and when the govern
or looked at him he seemed strangely
Affected. He scrutinized him long and
closely. Finally he signed the docu-
ment that restored the prisoner to lib-
erty. Before he handed 1t to him he
said, You will commit some other
crime and be in the penitentary again,
I fear"
The man solemnly promised that he
would not. The governor looked doubt.
ful. mused a few minutes and said:
You will go back on the river and
be mate again, supposeT
The man replied that he would.
"Well, want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. 'T want
you to pledge your word that when you
are mate again you will never take a
billet OF wood in your hand and drive
sick boy out Of q bunk to help you
load your boat on a stormy night"
The steamboat man said he would
not and inquired what the governor
meant by asking him such question.
The governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become a governor,
and you may want him to pardon YOU
for crime. One dark, stormy night,
many years ago. you stopped your boat
on the Mississippi river to take on q
load Of wood. There was q. boy OH
board who was working his passage
from New Orleans to st. Louis. but he
was very sick of fever and was lying In
bunk. You had plenty Of men 10 do
the work. but you went to that boy
with n stick Of wood In your hand and
drove him with blows and curses out
into the wrctched night and kept him
toiling like slave until the loau was
completed: was that 10y. uere is
your pardon. Never again be guilty OF
suchsbrutality."
The man. covering and hiding his
face. Went out without a word.
What Il noble revenge that was and
what lesson to bully!--Succcss.

We are asked whether It is better to
cultivate a strawberry bed in the
spring or rake the muiching in be-
tween the row and not cultivate It. For
the purpose Of securing the moisture
necessary to carry the berries safely
through the drought during the fruit
ing season, assuming that the space
between the rows was thoroughly cul-
dvated the previous season, we should
much prefer the mulching to spring
cultivation. We would further advise
the leaving Of Just as much Of the COW
erfng on the plants themselves as could
be done without injury to them.

A country boy asks us why the tcle-
phone wires sing so loudly in cold
weather. 1t is caused by the contrac-
ton of the wire by the cold. He can
readily demonstrate the truth Of this
by striking slack wire, which he will
find will have no resonant quality
whatever, but when frightened up will
have. The wintry winds striking these
taut wires produce the-sisging effect
noted in an ;rolian harp.

The Polka.

The polka is the natural dance for
tho feet of the people, Take in evidence
4h origin A. Bohemian peasant girl
was seen dancing "out Of her own
head" extemporiEing from the sheer
joy Of her heart song, tune and steps.
This she did on a Sunday afternoon in
B!bsleinitz,, and an artist. one Josef
Neruda, who spied her. made note Of
ali he saw. The people Of the town
adopted the dance and called It the
pulka, half step. In 1885 It reached
Prague and Vienna in 1910; thence Il
spread rapidly through Europe. When
M. Celmrius introduced 1t to the Pari.
