A MANIFESTO
From the WOmen-TOO Sa-
cred a Thing to Discuss.

Macon, Mo-, May 5.-Among
the various bills and matters
brought to the attention of the
City Council Monday night was a
petition from the women of the
Civic Improvement League. These
energetic members have inaugur-
ated a cleaning up policy, calculat-
ing to metamorphose the town be-
fore the summer is fairly set in,
and they wanted a little help from
the city dads.
Their needs were nicely type
written and clearly expressed. The
city authorities were given to keep
the streets clean till May 15, when
the League will be able to shoul-
der the responsibility to place
iron receptacles around town fOl
trash; to haul it away; to make
people quit splitting on the side
walks and to assume part of the
expense of hiring an extra man tC
"go about and look after things
There was no debate on them,
which is rather unusual. The coun'
cilmen thought a manifesto from
the women was too sacred tC
discuss. The petition was passeC
unanimously.

posite the school-house where w
a deep hole of muddy water fro
a recent rain. "Put him under

lOOed and under he went; wet an
full of anger the boy was put bac
on his mule with orders never I
repeat the insult. In about
week the young man Of "schoe
butter" notoriety started to schoo
He selected Sanford as one
whom be would wreak his We
geance for the ducking, so at pl
time when the boys were about a
hundred yards from the schoo
house in a wooded pasture, young
B. ran to Sanford and being about
three years older and stronger
threw him down and sitting on
his head began to knock him with
his fists. David stood by fillef
with anger but the boys had ad
ted rule that when two boys
into a fight they must fight it o
only that they were not to use q
stick or weapon to cripple or me
each other. Whoever tried to ia e
another's part would be pulled L,
and the whole school would IT, n
against him. These rules kt vt
David back. After much pou :
ing Sanford succeeded in freeing :
head and with bound was on z
feet. B. had on nice black ut
of which he was proud. SanfC I'd
seized the tail and tore it up he
back to the collar. Such sh mt
went up from the boys and so e.-
inflated was the aggressor that ne
went home for a coat, defeated at
last.
Bethel Sunday School was the
place for the boys and girls to go
to learn their religious privileges
and duties. On one occasion tIe
superintendent was absent, no man
was there to open the school. Da-
vid's mother was the teacher of the
Woman's Bible class and opened
the school with prayer. he haG
often heard her in the family when
his father was absent but this was
the first time in a public meeting.
B. MeGof1in, nephew of Gov,
McGofin of Kentucky living near
and attending school, remarked
he believed Mrs. Moses was a good
woman or she could not go on with
the Sunday school and pray like
that.

INDIAN TERRITORY.
Former Audraln Lady Writes
the Message a
Letter.

LhlS paper mas received Cne IOl-
lowing interesting letter written
by Mrs. F. N. Parker, who with
her family until recently resided
near Skinner, this county:
Wagner. 1. T., May 5.-The
wind is blowing hard as usual. /
say as usual, as there has been a
constant wind every day since /
have been here, altho the people
say there was no March wind,
Plenty of dust but no sand. Had a
hard frost last night. Nipped the
potatoes and beans badly. The wa
ter in this part of town is good
drinking water but rather hard for
washing, No worse than the wa
ter on East jackson street, Mex
leo, that used this winter. One
can have a cistern here as easy as
in Missouri, and we are going to
have one for our laundry purposes.
The sidewalks are few and far
between. One takes the middle of
the road along with the loose
horses, mules and cows. There
are said to be over a thousand
COWS at large within the city limits
but believe there is a law just
passed limiting the number to two
for each family that can have the
stree is for a pasture, which will
reduce the number much.
Have not been over town so can
only tell what is in my neighbor-
hood. There are some very hand
some places in sight with nicely
laid-out grounds and many shade
and fruit trees in fourishing con.
dition. Have been in two houses
that were furnished as finely as
any l was ever in at Mexico. There
are also plenty of little one-story
unimproved and upholstered with
stove-pipes sticking out of the
roofs, and some of these rent from
$500 to $500 per month. The
place is full of newcomers some
with plenty, some with just
lenopgh,to get here. The majority
of the latter are very anxious tC
get enough to get back on. A
woman near here from Southwest
Missouri says she would not &c
back for anything, as one can
make a living easier here than
there. She has six children and q
husband. l put him last as
think him least. Another from In.
diana says they are going back
this fall, "that there is nothing tC
be made here" But her husband
was not satisfied there so she con-
sented to the selling of their com
Portable little home. Well, it is /
good lesson, and as they had NJ
children it doesn't matter. Tha
is the way it works, one sees a flint
prospect for living, another see'
nothing ahead.
Our family seems to enjoy them
selves here and to be contented
which is little more than can bC
said of your humble servant.

no other possible use the system
could have for the road. He be-
lieves, tho not taken into council,
that it will be cOnstructed'on thru
Monroe county to Mexico, tho IN
that case, if run on a straight line

Do . Hsre to Your Child.

Are You zero or heroine to
your children? TT not, why not ?
Other parents have been 80 labelled
by their boys and girls. There is no
better opportunity than during
Chr. stmastide to help establish such
Impressions. But you should at all
seasons OF the year speak your pref
test lines and act your best when
tile small people form the audience,
for who knows but what they con-
slider you greater than Solomon or
Washington, to say nothing Of Nor
gan and Rockefeller. 1t has been
said that in the minds of children
success in life stands for something
more than the piling up OF colossal
fortunes. Do not forget that you are
very likely hero to your child. The
responsibility that goes with this
thought should never be forgotten.
