after year. We have never known
a time when or a place where a
political party did not have a lead

called a boss by the other crowd.
When we first came to Missouri
chaaney I. Fiiley was the leader,
aud We thought him a good one,
too, but the Democrats declared
he was a boss and some supple Re.
pnbheans thought SO too. because
they didn't gst more OF the pie,

If our Democratic friends are
satisfied with Senator Stone we are
not inclined to object. He called
the Legislature together once and
thus caused them to pass as fair
an election law as the state ever
had, and be was a fairly good
Democratic Governor and we pre-
sumo he will make a fairly good
Democratic senator. We don't
think we are saying much, either,

Sometimes an intentional attempt
to spoil on entertainer may add 10
his reputation. A ycntriloquist was
giving a show at the Democratic club
in the club room, which is below the
level Of the street, and, using a win
dow which was behind him, he said
he would give an imitation Of voices
outside. Tapping On the window to
attract attention, some boys, who
were lying on their stomachs IN the
grating, attributing the knocking 10
themselves, shouted out: "Yahl

scampercd off as hard as their legs
could carry them. Their remark and
the sound Of hurrying feet we're ac-
eepted by the audience as a ventrilo-
quial effort and rewarded with loud
applause, during which the ventrilo-
quist recovered from his astonish-
ment and concluded his performance,
but without any further experiments
at the window.
: The incident is worth repeating Of
the eonjurer who promised a eoun-
tryman a drink if he would hand up
a marked form from the audience
when he told him he would find it in
his pocket. When the eonjurer, ter
minating his show, asked for the
form, the eountTyman came forward,
and handing him one shilling and ten
pence, said: Not a form, meister,

and I've had it and there be the

the clown was a favorite, when the
yokel brought out a sucking pig from

CHINA NEEDING.
Art and Skill Called For in the Work
Some Costly Jobs.

There are brought 10 the expert
mender of china and bric-abrac, for
repair, all manner Of things, cheap
and costly; some damaged much, and
some but little.
In one case, for instance, it may be
that there is gone from the hand Of
some human figure q little finger. In
another case the piece looks as though
it had been dropped from the top Of
some very tall mountain down upon
some particularly hard rocks below,
it is so broken up.
And the actual cost Of repairing
the great variety of things thus
brought in varies greatly. In some
cases it might run up into hundreds
Of dollars, involving, as it might, on
a single piece, the patient, painstak-
ing and artistic sdhbor Of weeks.
There was latelY repaired, for in
stance, in New York, according to
the Sun, a porcelainpiece, the repair
work on which cost $500.
This was an example Of eighteenth
century Royal Nielsen, consisting Of
a gorgeous little coach. beautifully
painted and adorned, and drawn by
two spirited horses and with five hu-
man figures, including a coachman
and a footman in their respective
places at the front and rear Of the
coach, while inside the coach were
two ladies. and, standing on the
ground beside it, in animated con-
yersation with one Of the coach's oc-
cupants. stood a young courtier. Ii
was a charming piece; the whole oc-
cupying q space Of something over a
foot in length, and being valued at
$4,000.
1t had been broken, as il might
have seemed. beyond repair, with the
body Of the coach clean dismounted
and lying of TO one side, and the
three figures Of men, the courtier and
the coaohman, lying PROSTATE in yari-
Gus positions in front. and with a
wheel of the running part Of the
coach, aud various fragments lying
about, all in a general wreck, II pre-
scented a picture Of destruction.
The horses, still standing in place,
and the remaining three wheels Of
the coach, suggested the wheel pair

ruption. The so called honor is
an expensive one, pro6tless and
thaukless. He has never asked for
the position he holds but, has FIVE
times been elected by reclamation

without the asking. He is ready
AT any time to turn over the coveted
honor (?) to any gentleman desig-
mated by the Louisville Courier

upon Gov. Beckham to undo the
work of the last State Convention
and, by swapping horses in the mid
die of a swollen stream, destroy
every chance the party may yet
have 20 win,in the face OF the Louis

ier.Journal:
IF Governor Beckham and the.
estimable gentlemen on the Ticket

gerous issue they will have to en-
counter in the coming campaign,
they will reorganiZe their State

men on the State ticket have no

alone in the position he then occu
