her mind to come back to her.
It was inexplicable to Gordon, and
the six months which had passed
since that wretched day appeared to
him to be six years: or six thousand.
If Gordon Forester had read the
anonymous letter received by Betty
Just after he had left her, he would
have better understood the situation.
It said, "You are crossing on the
Umbria because Carrie Mason is GO
ing over on that boat They were
engaged for years. The infatuation
still lasts. This is a friendly warn
ing"
Betty tore the hateful slip of paper
into thousand pieces and threw
them scornfully out of the carriage
window.
She had time to drive to her bank
er's before going to the steamer.
It was the sting of seeing Gordon's
greeting to the tall girl on the deck
which made Betty give counter or
der to her coachman and turn and
drive back.
Gordon Forester groaned as he
read the account in the paper, and
crumpling it, threw it into the fire.
He had stopped in this city on his.
way out west. Hei decided to leave
the quest in the hands of his lawyers
at their urgent suggestion.
The Rockies and a sheep farm, or 9
miners life would be better than to

The Speeches COutrasted.

Joseph w. Folk spoke to large
audiences at Warrensburg and
Independence last Saturday, af-
ternoon and night. Harry d.
HAYES spoke at Poplar Bluffs.
Their speeches have a noticea.
BILE contrast. Mr.. Folk declared
against corruption, against the
corruptive elements who are at
present dominating state affairs,
and advocating the overthrow Of
the boodle-seeking methods of
ingrates who are bringing dis
honor upon our state. He ad.
vised the people that the remedy
was in hheir hands to check the
game and make the situation un-
happy for the booders p%racticing
it. The issue is forced upon the
the people and their action in the
premises would be sovereign--he
would abide by their decision.
1t is a question of a higher stan
dard of party principles or the
complete surrender to the de
PRAYED gang of boodlers. The
choice must be made.
Harry b. Hawes made no ar
gumcnt, except TO admit that Mr..
Folks position was right, but he
assailcd the famous Circuit At.
torncy's democracy because the
latter had acted consistently, and
he defended machine politics as
practiced in the slums of st.
Louis. Hawes' whole talk was
harrangue and spleen Of Il vindic-
tive character hurled at Mr..
Folk witaOut the least attempt
at enIightening his auditors upon
the true issues developing in the
coming campaign. The ordinary
citizen can easily discern the con
trast between the two.

a young man near Farragut,

dollars one day last week husk-
ing corn. He worked ten hours
and husked two hundred bushels

work, isn't it? The day before
he husked one hundred and eigh.
ty-six bushels, and now he offers
to wager that he can raise his

Corn Crop Short.

which was predicted to be a record
breaker is not turning out as we'll
as expected. While the husk is
large the ear is small, and hence
the crop is deceptive. Those who
expected a big crop arc greatly
disappointed.
