Wanted to Keen the Old Girl.

Claiborne f. Jackson, who, asgoVer-
nor of Missouri, tried to take the state
out of the Union, was married three
times, and each time to a daughter OF
old DIR. Sappington. Champ CLARK
tells the story that when Claiborne
came after the third of the Doctors
daughters, the old man said; "All
right, Claib, take her, but for heavens
sake don't come back after the old
woman" Jackson's wives we're aunts
Of John Sappington Marmaduke, and
It was from his mother, a fourth
daughter Of old DR.. Sappington, that
be got his middle name. John 5.
Marmaduke was a son Of M. M.
Marmaduke, who was elected lieu
tenant governor In 1910, and became
governor in February, 1874, when
Governor Reynolds committed suicide
John S. Marmaduke was, therefore, a
nephew by marriage Of one governor
of Missouri and the son OF another,
besides being governor himself.

Walter Williams, Fine Rpigram.

"The finest eplgram uttered In
America recently" writes Congress-
man Champ Clark, "was by Walter
Williams. In addressing his Sun lay
School class, the largest In the State,
he said, Fame has taxed men from
the forge, the pillow and the carpenters
bench, but she has never been known
TO reach over q fence and snatch a
dude out of a hammock +" In Champs
opinion, that's worthy Of Pope,
Rouchefoucould or Thomas Brackett
Reed" In the same paper Clark re-
peats good story which he once heard
Colonel George Balm, Of Kentucky,
tell. "Sitting under the shade oftrees
between two sessions OF the Chautau-
qua, says Champ, someone read from
a paper how Mrs. Kennedy, on trial
for murder at Kansas City, threw her
self upon the mercy OF the court. Col.
Balm said: That reminds me OF an
old colored brother down in Kentucky,
who was harnesssed up before Justice
OF the peace for some misdemeanor
The Justice, who knew him well, said;
I" Pompey, have you any lawyer"

THE GIRL BEHIND THE PIE.
From the Baltimore News:

- hpih shc bAitlmOre News.
Inc man behind the cannon and the
girl behind the man
have been sung in tabled story ever
since the world began
From the day the Trojan Helen, lead.
er of grizzled herd,
To the time Of "Maggie Murphy, mas.
cot OF the bloomln' Third"
Round the world have spread the sto-
ries of the brave who do or die,
bnt we've never heard an anthem on
the Girl Behind the Pie.
There she stands with cups Of coffee,
slabs of pastry, chunks OF cake,
Temptingly arrayed around her, with
dyspepsia 10 their wake
And she eyes the deadly sinkers with
most bewitching eye,
AS a stream OF willing victims wan
ders sorrowfully by;
Filled or filling, starved or foundered,
go they on their varied ways,
And for her who works the pie pump
they have naught but ready praise.
Call her Liz, or plain Eliza, or Eliza
beth, may hap,
Since the chance is ten to nothing that
she doesn't care rap
Call her madam she will snicker;
call her "honey" she will frown,
But you're safe to call her anything,
so you don'tcal her down;
"Slnkefs up-draw one!' she murners;
All! the magic Of her vpire
Is a wicked death to srfuN and a bid
ding to rejoice.
You may keep your fabled wonders In
the long, immortal line,
But III take the little pie girl as the
heroine, in mnel
Ay, III take the little pie girl in her
modest suit Of drab,
AS She cuts brand new custard, when
/ ask her for a slabl
Laud your man behind the cannon and
his girl TO the sky,
Bnt I'm writing this here anthem Ia
the Girl Behind the pie!
