Worth Remembering.

Never overlook an opportunity.
The neglected opportunity never
calls again.
After all, final success depends
upon ones character.
Do the right thing, and failure
is impossible.-Fecke.
How beautiful the law of love
can make the cares and trials of
life.-Bryant.
The man who dares to waste an
hour of time has not learned the
value of life.-Darwin.
One of two things always hap
pens regarding a habit, you either
master it, or it masters you.
Observe the postage stamp.-Its
usefulness consists of sticking to
one thing until it gets there.
The n thing worth living for
yes, worth dying for-is the
chance to make somebody useful
and happy.
Life is a series of surprises.
We do not guess today the mood,
the pleasure, the power of tomorrow
when we are building up our
being.
1T is necessary to hope, though
hope should always be deluded, for
hope itself is happiness, and it's

wonder why it is that we are not
all kinder than we are. How much
the world needs it! How easily it
is done! How instantaneously 1t

CHANGES IN POSTAGE
STAMPS.
POstoffice Authorities Tell iOf
Several Changes.

A formal notification from head.
quarters in Washington contains
the information that postage stamps
bearing a new design will soon be
distributed.
The most conspicuous alteration
that will be made will be seen in
the Io-cent special delivery stamps,
which will bear, instead of the
figure of a messenger boy running,
a cut of the same boy astride of a
wheel.
The old custom of placing replicas
of celebrated men upon the stamps
will be adhered to, but there will
appear, in addition to the stamped
features, the name, date of birth
and date of death of the men so
honored.
There will soon go into effect,
too, a slight decline in the cost of
stamped envelopes and wrappers.
The one-cent manila envelopes,
which formerly sold for Sill per
thousand, will now be sold for
$1,000; newspaper wrappers will
be reduced n price from Sill to
$1,000 per thousand. A new
white one-cent envelope will cost
$II.oS per thousand.
The 1903 stamps will bear the
following colors and faces.
One-cent-Green; Benjamin
Franklin.
Two cent-Red; George Wash
ington.
Four cent-Dark brown; U. S.
Grant.
Five cent-Blue; Abraham
Lincoln.
Six ~cent-Magenta; James A.
Garfield.
Eight cent-Dark blue; Martha
Washington.
Ten cent-Light blue; Daniel
Webster.
Thirteen cents-Orange, slate
Benjamin Harrison.
Fifteen cents-Orange; Thomas
Jefferson.
One dollar--Black D. G..
Farragut.
Two dollar-Sapphire blue ;
James Madison.
Five dollar-Dark green; John
Marshall.

Conscience IN Work.

Talents and skill tell for much
but conscience in work tells for
more. The mechanic or the clerk
who, beyond his stated salary, be-
You'd even his obligations to his
employer or the demands which
public opinion could make upon
him, exerts himself to make his
work as perfect as he can, and
delights in its thoroughness and
excellence apart from any private
benefit it can render him, has a
value which can never be COM
puted. 1t matters not what the
work be, whether it be done with
the spade Of the laborer, the pen OF
the clerk, the brush of the artist, or
the voice of the statesman. Such
people are sought far and wide
there are places open to them, and
their services are always at q
premium.

THE NEVER FAILING BAIT.

From the Boston Herald.-Ot
all the sure bats to catch gudgeons,
the matrimonial advertisement i.
still the surest, apparently, and the
latest expose in this line furnishes
cumulative evidence of the fac
that the men are more easily taken
in. by it than the women. 1t is
still very much as John Boyle
O'Reilly sang:
"What bait do you user" said q
saint to the devil,
When you fish where the souls
of men ahound?"
well, for special t%astes,'' said the
king of evil,
Gold and fame are the best
I've found"
But for general user" asked the
saint. "Ah, then,"
Said the demon, II angle for
man, not men,
And the thing l hate
Is to change my bait,
So | fish with a woman the whole
year round"

WHIPPING POST BILL DE-
FEATED.

On the 18th representative

larceny punishable by fine, i'm
Prisonment or "by being whipped
on the bare back with a rawhide by
not less than ten nor more than 40
lashes in the discretion of the
court, justice or jury trying the
cause" and requiring the Con-
stable to do the whipping, came UP
for consideration and excited con-
siderable debate, after which it was
indefinitely postponed by a vote of
o5 to SO. This of course disposes
of the bill for this session.

Get In Touch With the World.

The man who gets "out of: the
SWIM, so to speak, who loses his
touch with the great, pulsing world
about him, who secludes himself
in his study or laboratory, and
deals only with books and theories
instead of with men and things,
will soon find himself going down
grade.
1t is not living in the world OF
yesterday, nor in the world of to-
morrow, but in today's world, that
counts. We must know the world,
and the day we are living in, and
keep in responsive touch with the
great movements of civilization.
A great many men have lived in
the past, and have been educated
in medieval methods instead of
modern ones. They have lived in
history, spending their time in
buried cities, in dead PHILOSOPHERS,
in exhausted theories, until they
are dried up. They have gathered
all their nourishment from the
past. They are as much out of
place in the present as a bird of
paradise would be at the north
pole. Their mental food, their
reflections are all in the past, and
yet they wonder why the world
does not appreciate them, why
they are not in touch with it, when
the fact is that they are really
strangers in a strange land. They
have no sympathy with the
struggles of the present, with the
tendency of the age, or with the
great movements going on all about
them,-SuccesS.

jim CROW CARS.

There is no doubt, but that only
narrow minded predjudiced citizens
of Missouri want the separate car
law enacted in this state. The
Lexington News, a democratic
paper, has the following to say on
the subject in a recent issue:
I'VE are opposed to the Jim
Grow" car law for Missouri.
1T is thirty-seven years now
since the negroes were set free,
and during this time we have done
fairly we'll without it, and such
matters are bound to get better as
the years go by. 1t will create a
state of bad feeling between the
that will result in harm to
both. Missouri negroes have been
remarkably free from offensive
conduct toward the whites. In all
our travelling we have never been
insulted or made uncomfortable by
the conduct of negro travellers.
We would as well make laws re-
curing them to walk on a par
%ticular part of the sidewalk. 1t
will be bad civic policy to pass
such a law. There is really no
occasion for it in Missouri.
"The Objectionable feature of
mixed cars can be remedied by
requiring more cars, so that they
will not be so crowded. This is
the real discomfort of travelling on
cars, not the presence of we'll
behaved negroes. A strict law,
well enforced, against misbehavior
on public cars will do the rest.
Let us give the negroes the
benefit of such association, for it is
worth much to them. The matter
of social equality is out of the
question. 1t does not enter into the
case at all. No o than meeting
them on the street.
Lafayette county had more
slaves than any other county in
Missouri, and has in it today more
negroes than any other county in
the state except those containing
large cities. We have everyday
experience to go by, and our ex-
perence is that the law is a bad
one
The professional world. (Columbia, Mo.) 1901-192?, 1903-02-27

The recent action of the citizens of
Fayette, Mo-, in beating women
under the disguise of white caps''
is a disgrace to any people or COM
munity, and only shows a mark of
semi-barbarous lawlessnes. on the
part of those who engage in such.
No intelligent law-abiding citizen
will approve of any such action.
No matter how great the crime of
the victims, may have been. Nc
good citizen believes in lawless-
ness. No law-abiding citizen will at
any time refuse to let the law take
its course. If the laws of Missouri
r not severe enough to punish the
aggressors of the law, they should
be made so.

The enumeration of last spring
showed that there were in Columbia
706 negro children between the
ages of six and twenty-one years.
Probably two-thirds of this number
are attending school, the other
one-third can be seer loafing on the
streets or about their homes with
practically no reason whatever for
not attending school. This state
of affairs can only be justly charged
to the parents and guardians, who
allow their children and those
under their protection to grow up
in ignorance rather than send them
to school.

ton. There a line OF December and
May sold by Bartlett Frazier, presumably

bull liquidation and an equally large COM
mission demand on the break. The futures
early sold OF sc under the selling out OF a
