A Pleasant Surprise.

On last Thursday evening, be-
tween 7 and s o'clock, quite a COM
pany of the members and friends
of the Methodist Church at Belle
view assembled at the parsonage.
The company was led by Uncle
Jesse ,Harral. At 10 o'clock the
older people left, while the young
people remained until the New
Year, 1904, was ushered in. The
time was spent in music and inno-
cent amusements and closed by
reading the Scriptures and prayer
by the pastor. These kind friends
brought many articles appreciated
by the pastor and his wife. One
in particular, to which we wish to
allude: an autograph quilt, con-
tanning more than 200 names. This
fact alone will serve to awaken
pleasant retrospection as the years
come and go.

On the 10th instant the lighthouse

this locality. During the entire

POST OFFICE RULER.

Some rules to be followed when
you visit the p~ost-office:
Do not mail your letters until
time to close the office-looks more
business like to rush in just at the
time of closing.
Never put stamps on letters until
you get to the Office, then ask the
postmaster or his clerk to lick and
put them on for you.
If you decide to put them on
yourself, lick each one two or three
times, get all the gum off, then ask
for mucilage.
Do not pay for stamps until they
are stuck on, especially if there
are several more awaiting their
turn-this gives the postmaster a
chance to rest. If it makes no
difference to you, put part of the
stamps OF the left hand corner and
some on the back of your letters
this will insure you a remembrance
in the prayers of the happy youth
who cancels them.
When you want a money order
cashed, don't sign it right the first
time; if he tells you it is payable
to John Smith, sign it j.. Smith,
and then it will have to be erased
and corrected.
If the postmaster tells you to put
two cents on a paper, say to him
that you have seen larger papers
go for one cent-this is evidence
that he don't know how much to
charge.
After the postmaster gives you
your mail, ask him if that is all
postmasters are apt to keep back
part of your mail unless closely
watched.

IFEAE the man who is so much
better than his party that every
consideration must give way to
his ambition, and hold that when
his preferment is absolutely nee
cesoary to the welfare of the State
it is time that the party be sent to
the demnition bow-wows. If
Folks nomination alone can save
the Democratic party in Missouri
from deserved defeat, | wonder
that so good O man would accept
honor and preferment from so base
a source.

THE lead Belt News is a Folk
paper. This is what the News says
of the Folk meeting at Flat River
last week:
Wednesdays st. Louis papers
gave the usually magnified ac-
.co,nts of Folks meeting in Flat
nver. The Globe said that 1900
ople heard him, while the Re
(blic had it that many could not
ct inside the hall. The fact of
he matter is there were not ex-
seeding 800 people at the speaking
and at no time was there anybody
! outside who could not get in be-
unause of the crowd.

Folk organ, says, standing room
was hardly procurable, many be-

THE snapshot recognition of the
Panama rebels by the U. S. author
tiles is acknowledged by President
Roosevelt to be unprecedented in
the annals of international history
and in contravention of we'll settled
international law. "But," says the
President, "all rules have their ex-
ceptions, and this is an exception"
That's an easy way out of the
trammels of both law and justice.
One may admit that an act per Sc is
wrong, but when he places it in his
category of exceptions" behold
it is transmitted into righteousness!
l am delighted to know that he
gives official endorsement to that
good old maxim, "The end justifies
the means;" it is so handy to have
lying around when one desires to
serve his own interests and to do so
must act regardless of the rights of
others. Let the man who hereafter
afirms that the principle of the
motto which worked overtime in
the Dark Ages is obsolete, be
dubbed double damned villain and
black-dyed t%ur-raitor!

expense? There are Prof. Vandi-

why not have them go clean down
the line? If their superior wis
dom and beatific integrity are
necessary to the righteous heading
of the ticket, let them permeate
and sanctify the body as well.

THE thief in the crowd often
finds his security in voicing loudest
of all the cry of ''stop theft" This
truth the honest people in the Folk
so-called band-wagon have no
doubt had butted in on them be-
fore this. Yet it is none the less
annoying to have the epithet of
''boodler' hurled at decent men
outside the b.-w. by early-risers
who have neither character nor
principle-who have been and are
daily guilty of acts of meanness
and insincerity that ought to shame
anything nearing the semblance OF
manhood and decency.
