Your Life Over.

One of the trivial sophistries of mod
ern and current culture is. Would YOU
1--we your life again?" That is, would
you prefer to make another trial at if
or are you willing to let it go at that.
and trust to the use you can make of
what may be left to atone for the USE
essne or errors of what has gone?
Ihere is no sense in the question. 1t
an impossibility and it gives
those who are cynical an opportunity
to enjoy h discontinue of the sensi-
tive man whose reflection or remorse It
prompts.
There are few mer if any, who have
accomplished what they expected to
accomplish. Few men have accom-
plished anything. Men frequently con-
slider themselves in the condition Of
failures because they compar what
they are with what they expected to
be and are sad. Those who do not
consider themselves failures are con-
demned as failures BY everybody else.
Those men who love themselves most
are least loved : 10 world.
Hence the men who would not live it
over again are of both classes-those
are satisfied with one trial Of life
and are ashame ,dand those who are
gratifed at a career that other per-
sons revile with contempt.
There may be the one good in the
question:, namely, that of prompting a
man to live the last of his life better
than the first has been lived.-PortS-
mouth Star.

Missouri Legislative BOOdlers.

st. Louis. Mo-. April 16.-The grand
jury's investigation of alleged boodling
in the legislature was resumed here to-
day. A subpoenae has been issued for
the cashier of the Steelville, Mo-, Bank,
in which the Baking Powder combina-
ton is sunnosed to have kept funds and
checks. State Senator Harris will be ex-
amined as to his alleged knowledge of
these funds.
Kansas City, Mo. April 16.-Lieuten-
ant Governor Lee was served with a
subpoena tonight as he was leaving the
city. He left for Chicago instead of 60
ing to ST. Louis. The deputy marshal
having learned that Mr.. Lee was on the
Chicago train said to him:
OF course. Mr.. Lee, you understand
that if you disobey this subpoena you
will be regarded as q fugitive from JUS
tica-"
Lee answered angrily:: 81 understand
this move. 1t, is one of tina fellow
Folks He is always making an ass of
himself"
The subpoena served upon Lee was
IN a local case. 1t was used to prevent
his getting beyond the jurisdiction of
the Missouri courts before a st. Louis
was done upon the request of circuit
Attornev Folk. of st. Louis. Mr.. Lee
ignored the subpoena.
When he learned today that a deputy
was looking for him with a subpoena
he went across the line to Kansas CITY.

a year, anf L don't pretend to under

French words"
"And do you mean to tell me to my
face that l am a numskull and an
ass?' exclaimed Mr.. Bowser as he set
bis jaw and grew red as fire.

don't give the word the right pronun-

But he didn't have to-. The bell rang,

opened the door a tramp stood there

He got no further-that is, he got q
good deal further. He got outdoors,
and the door struck his heels as he
went. Mrs. Bowser was trying hard
to keep a placid face as MI. Bowser
returned to the sitting room, and not
ing the fact he pointed a finger at her
and sternly said:
This performance is not half over
with yet. 1 will not sleep until 1 have

Il am willing to let it go as you say,

er it is reg-i-mee or ra-zheem?"

ACTION D. sAPPRoVED.
Roosevelt Said to Have Opposed Plans
of Shaw.

Washington, D. c., April because
of some alleged differences of opinion
in regard to the management of af-
fairs of the treasury department, it is
stated authoritively that President
Roosevelt has disapproved of some
of the actions of Secretary Shaw and
it is stated that the latter was severe
ly rebuked by the President just a few
days previous to leaving this city on
his western trip.
Although the exact cause of the in
cident is not disclosed, it is intimated
that the overhauling of the customs
service at New York and Chicago was
the cause Of bringing forth the disap-
probation of the chief executive.
Indefinite and general changes have
been made against Collector Nixon
and other federal officers. In view OF
the pending investigation by Secretary
Shaw here, much significance is at
tached to President Roosevelt's state
ment that ne had no intention OF re
moving Collector Nixon or United
States Treasurer Williams.
The relations between the President
and Secretary Shaw are very amicablt
to a marked degree, aside from this in
cident, which st5considered closed II
is not even limited that Secretary Shaw
proposes to retire from the cabinet.

with the matter, the bill will run up
for the year so that it will amount to
in the neighborhood of $4,000, or per-
haps more
County Attorney Cope in talking
over the matter stated that
the money to pay for these
fund, and that in this county amounts
to about $1,000 year, coming from
levy of " mill. THE board cannot
continne paying for the insane and the
inebriates out of this fund and have
enough money" said Mr.. Cope.
Either the levy must be increased to
11b mills or else the inebriates will
have to be paid for by the state or else
out of some other fund. The Twenty
ninth general assembly passed a law
making the payment for the care of in
ebriates come out of the insane fund
and it was since that law went into
effect that the inebriates have been
sent to Mt Pleasant in such numbers.
The board has been investigating the
matter, and they are determined that
they will not bear the expense in the
future. When the bill is presented at
the next meeting of the board it will
simply be laid on the shelf, and then
the board will lay back and see what
1.-THE state can do to compel the pay
ment. From what the supervisors have
said they are not in favor of increas-
ling the insane tax for this cause, and
| furthermore, ii there is any way out of
the matter they will adopt some means
to have the inebriate business cut
down IF coStS $40 month for each
one that is sent down, and when you
stop to consider that over 100 have
been committed in the last six months,
you can see how great the business has
become. The insane patients will need
all the money there is in their fund
this year"
