Some recent developments at JEFF
ferson City have recalled a story
that used to be told about former
Buchanan county representative to
the legislature. Before his election to
the legislature he was chemically
broke" When he returned from JEFF
ferson City he exhibited $500 in good,
crisp greenbacks. Some of his friends
"jollied" him about his prosperity.
You didn't have a cent when you
went to the legislature, did you,
Jones?" said one of them.

Strike AGAINST Diet of EGGS.

The servaEts at Harbor Hills, the
country residence on Long Island of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay,
have gone on strike against a menu
consisting of eggs three times a day.
According to the complaining domes-
tics it was omelettes, egg sandwiches,
boiled eggs, roasted eggs, stuffed eggs
or some other variety of the same
dish in Lent and out of Lent, until
finally the chef was petitioned to
change the menu. The man who pre-
sented the memorial was discharged
on the spot and then all the other
servants but two went on strike.

Gen. S. B. NJ Young, the first chief

ture one arm of the veteran plunged
into the labyrinths of his coat and
produced a carefully prepared speech,
which he proceeded to read. The
apology for his unpreparedness and
the evidence of the painstaking way
in which he dressed his remarks in
advance, were too much for the ban
uueters and he was forced to suspend
his remarks until the uproar was over.

wedding are to return to London at
once.
Noticeable among those absent from
the wedding were Benjamin Thaw, his
wife and family. Benjamin Thaw, the
oldest son and head of the family,
both socially and financially since his
fathers death, evidently could not
countenance the wedding by his pres

beginning that Mr.. Thaw has opposed

earl was not fit sutton for his sisters

the marriage, has made only one re-

friends all comment that his silence
speaks most forcefully. A man of his

after having given the matter most
careful consideration.

Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the
countess of Yarmouth, explains itself:

London's Many Missionaries.

Good authorities say that there are
about as many missionaries and
Christian workers in the city of Lon

sent. out by all denominations to work
in behalf of foreign missions. That is
to say, nearly $1,000 persons are en-
gagged in one way or another in evan

small portion of the-e are ordained
ministers. The count would include
evangelists, Salvation Army soldiers,

workers and the like.
No city in the world maintains so
many special missions to different
classes. There is a special mission.

cabmen, another to actors and still
others TO postmen, newsboys, boot
blacks and so on through all the

Slip of the Tongue Won Bride.

Rev. James C. Bradley, young
preacher, made a funny slip of the
tongue a couple of months ago, but
is very glad of it now. He was lead
ing the service at young peoples

prayer said: 20 Lord, give us clean
hearts, humble hearts, pure hearts,
sweet hearts" The last caused a
litter which nearly broke up the serv-

mistake in the pulpit came in his
union last week to the girl who had
joked him about it.

Maine Judge Takes Determined Stand

Chief Justice Wiswell of the Maine
supreme court says there must be an
end to the hypocrisy which collects
fines from liquor dealers, but allows
them to continue in business in def

fore the traffic in liquor in that state
has been conducted on a quasilicense
system. That is to say, while the sale
is absolutely forbidden, dealers have
been allowed to sell with the under.
standing that once or twice a year
they should submit to arraignment in
court, conviction and the payment OF
a fine. Thus the state gets the money
and the dealers get exemption for
their trade. The chief justice makes
announcement that this state of things
must come to an end and the humbug
of half century seems to be ex-
ploded.
