met Cow, which was grazing free
from Care on the green Sward, and
they talked together on various Sub
jects.
At little Distance Hunter ap-
peared, The Deer. which had never
seen Hunter, and wishing to be quite
Safe, said to the Cow: Tell me, are
these Animals dangerous?"
"No, indeed" said the Cow, with
Smile, that is a Man; he is not
dangerous. | have often been quite

just then the Report of a Rifle was
heard, and the Cow sank to the
Ground MORALLY wounded. The
Hunters bullet had missed the Deer
and taken the Life of the other Ami

"Nlcn are thankless Animals" said
the Cow, with its dying Breath, "and

AS TO TAXATION.
Hon. C.. +. Clark Gives Some
Good Thoughts.
EDITOR MESSAGE:

EDITOR MESSAGES:
At the last assessment of oul
county refused to list my notes
for taxation and some of the news
papers mentioned it without stat
ing fully my reasons for so doing.
Since then Il number of good citi-
zens, and some representatives OF
the press, have requested me to
make Il statement as to the motive
that impellcd me to take such Il
stand and give my defense, if any,
for so doing.
In answer to these requests will
say that it has always afforded me
great pleasure, whenever an OPP
portunity presented, to stand by
the principles of honest taxation,

amendment to the constitution of
Missouri was upheld by the legal
voters of this State at the last

In this connection, / desire to indorse

ability, and of national reputation.
The buildings hereafter to be erected
should be such as will stand the test

aristocratic families of Virginia. Nixon was an
unknown naval ensign when he first met her In
1855 lie was then stationed in Washington. He
fell ready victim to the beauty OF Miss Wood
She had faith in the young officer, but when he
came woong she finally told him:
"Mr. Nixon, shall never marry a man who
has not made name for himself"
The three years that followed were the busiest
of his life He designed the Oregon and helped
TO build the Indiana, Massachusetts,. Iowa, St.
Paul, Brooklyn, Minneapolis and the Holland

most naval designer OF the country. Then in 1871,

Mary to put onsjust twice as much OF everything
as she had planned, for here is Mr. Brown coming
to dine with us!'

A Deathbed Recognition.

"Unole Jimmie was man who had a repu.

clung to him the entire eighty.odd years of his
existence.
When he was stricken with what proved to be
his last illness, a neighbor came to see him who
had heard he was near unto death.
The family gathered about the room in various
stages of grief-he had not been an over kind
husband and father-and the sick man lay on his
bed with closed eyes and labored breathing.
'See if he knows you." said his wife tearfully
to the neghbor, who tip tip.toed to the side OF
the bed and leaned over the occupant.
Uncle Jimmie, do you know meg asked the
neighbor gently.
A dead silence hung over the room. Finally
"unce Jimmie" slowly opened his eyes, and
fXed them intently on the questoncr.
"Know you?" he echoed feebly. "I reckon
do. Where's that gallon OF vinegar you owe
