The Vatican.

The Vatican consists of a collec-
ton of buildings erected at various
times and for different purposes,
The whole constituting the papal
residence, a library and a museum.
The length of the palace is 1851
feet, nearly five of our city blocks.
Its breadth is 767 feet. 1t has
eight grand staricases, twenty
courts and 1900 apartments of
different sizes. The quarters in
habited by the Pope are never seen
except by those who are admitted
to special audience. The library
is the Oldest and most celebrated
in Europe, containing 40, 900 books
and 25, 200 manuscripts. Neither
books nor manuscripts are to be
seen; they are enclosed in sealed
cabinets. The museum contains
10, 900 pieces of statuary, yet so
ample are its proportions that there
is no crowding. Here are several
of the noblest paintings of the old
masters, among them ''The Jewel
of the Vatican" the first picture in
the World. 1t is the "Trans6gur.
ation," by Raphael. Mr.. Morgan
would give s., 600, 900 for it.

That this 10 of truth realty is not
so much the fault of the Democrat

corruption because it is being done

Dbskery, who is hold to be the

acts go, has become so innoculated
with the ringster evil that he dare
not urge its eradication from state
politics for fear that his own poll
tical future would haye to suffer
with the gangs downfall, for only
bv the defeat of the Democracy
can the ring be overthrown.

Cure for Talking Habit.

Formula: One part horse sense
two parts manly determination to
keep still; mix we'll, with an un-
Limited amount of the best quality
of thought. 1t is impossible for a
woman to talk all the time without
saying lot of things that she
shouldn't without proving a Jolly
bore to everybody about her.
This tattling habit is not confined
entirely to women though. Some
men have the affection terribly.
Sometimes it's May wheat, some
times it's Roosevelt, sometimes it's
chess, sometimes its baseball. A
steady diet of one-kind converse
ton is always tiresome. Take a
nibble of this and nibble of that
and your chatter will be more in
teresting-particularly if there are
plenty of rests between nibbles.
Talking improves when there's a
silence by way of contrast. Tx.

The biggest man in Missouri is
Thomas l. Mosteller of Hazel Run
St. Francois County. He weighs

he is unable to explain his weight,
his father having been a man of

small. But the work of explana-
ton dees not seem hard after one
has been told something of his eat
ing. At a common meal he de-
YOURS fiye pounds of fresh meat

In his speech at De Soto on the
Fourth of July Governor Dockcry
is reported to have said, ''leavs
the boodlers in Missouri to US and
we will see that the guilty and VIC
ious are sent to the pen, and l will
see that they stay there as long as
+ an governor. By "us'' we
presume the Governor means
the Missouri Democracy, and the
promise he holds out for Kidding
the state government of boodleism
would seem encouraging but for
the fact that boodleism in this state
has lost all individuality and be-
come part and parcel of the Demo
cratic organization. The sale of
legislation to the monopolistic cor
porations in return for contribu-
tions to the campaign fund of the
Democratic party is not the act of
any individual who can be reached
as such and punished in proper
ton to bis misdeeds, but it is the
act of an organized party being in
complete control of the law-mak-
ing bodies of the legislature. There
is but one way to punish a party
for its abuse of public confidence.
1t would be foolish to trust the Job
TO these who are to be punished.

"Crinoline" and "OaIlco,"

Out in Missouri, the ''Show
Me" State, the people have many
quaint expressions; strange maybe
to others, but not strange to them.
Unless their full significance is un-
derstood, in many cases their ex-
pressions partake of a seeming
eommonness.
"CrinolirsS and "Calico" when
applied to the women of Missouri
are terms calculated to mislead
foreign ear and understanding.
But,the "Show Me" man knows
what they mean. And they do
not always mean the same, either.
The Missouri editor who writes,
"Pete Montgomery came over
from Sedaha to spend Sunday
with his parents: We bet cook
ie Pete gets close to some nice
piece of crinoline while here, y
we'll, that editor knows what he's
writing about. Or he may have
said calico, and Pete will not be
offended. However, the visiting
day being Sunday, "srinoline'
sounas daintier. But let that edi
tor say Pete was seen chasing zeal
leo" in the ''bresh" and then watel
out! Or let him say, Pete Mont
gomery was seen in the compan.
of some of the ''cri4oline" whiel
came in yesterdays excursion from

slipped away from their mother at

How to Get Good Roads.

One good reason for the prevail
ence of bad roads throughout the
United States is lack of agreement
and united action among the advo-
Gates Of improvement. Every
body prefers good roads to bad.
Everybody knows that the roads
can be improved only by the ex-
penditure of money and labor.
But here the agreement ends.
There is a great variety of ideas
and schemes for securing the de-
sired object. There is no end of
discussion, but very little is ac-
complished. Some people would
rather travel through mud than to
have the roads improved by any
other plan than their own ''pet
scheme" Thus road reformers
themselves sometimes actually him
der the cause to which they are de-
voted.
If the roads of the country are
to be made good within the life
time of the present generation it is
high time the advocates of good
roads should unite in support of a
few general propositions and go to
work in favor of general plan.
If national good roads movement
ever gets started, nothing can stop
it. 1t will sweep everything be-
fore it. But the difficulty is to
get it started.
One great advantage possessed
by the national aid plan, which is
now becoming so popular, is that
| it is general instead of sectional OF
local. 1t is as broad as the whole
country. 1t can bring into har
monious, united action the friends
of good roads in every state, ane
it is the only plan yet proposed
that can do this.
The friends of national aid vii
make a mistake if they undertake
to work out details in advance
They will disagree among them
selves and give objections every
advantage. They should 90 f
work for tho general principle aue
leave details to be worked out lat
er. This was the plan of actor
adopted by Gladstone. When hi
opponents asked for details of an.
great reform which he advocated
Gladstone would answer: "Ther
will be time enough to work ou
the detnils when we get the pow
et:rr::" j'hee, advocates of nationa
aid will do we'll to emulate the es
ample of this great English states
man. They should organize every
where and fight for the principle
