You viii never be sorry for living a white
life; for hearing before judging; for being
candid and frank; for thinking before
speaking; for harboring clean thoughts; for
discounting the tale bearer; for being loyal
to the preacher; for standing by your prin
ciples; for asking pardon when in error;
for being as courteous as a duke; for the
influence of high motives; for bridling a
slanderous tongue; for being generous with
an enemy; for being square in business
deals for sympathizing with the oppressed;
for giving an unfortunate fellow lift; for
being patient with cranky neighbors; for
promptness in keeping your promises; for
putting the best possible construction upon
the doings of others.

Joe Bowers, "All the Way From
Pike

Several log houses of considerable inter
est will stand on the worlds fair grounds
at st. Louis. Two of them are Missouri
home made cabins. One already erected
there is the identical log house that was
built and occupied by Ulysses S. Grant, in
1854, on his farm in S.. Louis county,
about seven miles from the exposition site.
The other, a site for which has been grant
ed by the management of the fair, is to be
"Joe Bowers Pike county home. y One
of these cabins belongs to history and the
other to tradition. Joe Bowers, though a
more or less mythical character, has achiev
de reputation which entities him to this
recognition at the greatest of universal ex-
positions and the people of Pike county,
Mo-, and those who have lived in that
county and removed elsewhere, propose
thus to honor the memory of Bowers, who
was made, in sense, nationally famous by
ballad song
For fifty years the Joe Bowers song has
been popular. Other ballads set to music
have had their little day, ragged as popular
pieces for time, and passed away. The
Joe Bowers ballad, born in California dur
ing the early days Of the gold excitement
on the coast, is still sung. and at least the
first stanza is known to nearly everybody
who is approaching middle age or has pass
ed that period Here is the text of the
ballad, which was first sung in San Fran
cisco variety theatre or music hall in the
early SOS.
My name is Joe Bowers,
And I've got a brother Ike;
| come from old Missouri,
All the way from Pike.
I'll tell you why left there
And why came to roam
And leave my poor old nanny
So far away from home.
/ used to court gal there
Her name was Sally Black;
axed her if she'd marry me-
She said it was a whack,
Saws she to me, "Joe Bowers,
Before we hitch for life
You ought 10 get little home
To keep Your little wife.
o Sallyi dearest Sally,
o Sallyi for your sake
I'll go to California
Aud try and make a stake.
Saws she to me, Joe Bowers.
You are the man to VIM
Here's kiss to bind she bargain,
And she hove dozen In.
When got TO that country
hadn't nary red
| had such wol6sb feelings
I u.tshad myself fnnnSf dead.
Bu. the thoughts Of nv dear Sally
Soon made those feelings sit,
And whispered hopes TO Bowers
| wish had EN- yill
At length went to mining.
Put IN my biggest Hicks,
Went down upon the bnuiierS
just ike a thousand bricks.

From my dear brother Ikc;

That ever YOU did he=r.
