large audiences at the court house

the afternoon the audience was made
up largely Of farmers, with the ex'
captions OF about 40 or 80 citizens Of
Rich Hill, who came up on the noon
train. Mayor Reed is reeog lied as
one OF Missouri's gifted orators, and
he was in his best form. Aside from
his criticism OF Mr.. Folk and his
manager, he made a good Democrat
ic speech that enthused his auditors.
He reviewed the conditions which the
Democrats found when they came in
to power in the early seventies, with
its heritage oi % millions oidebtand
a tax rate Of so cents; OF the econo-

during Democratic rule until every
dollar OF that vast deot 10 wiped out
without the loss OF a cent in the
collection and distribution OF that
vast sum, and the rate OF taxtion for
all purposes reduced to IL cents. He
pointed out the flourishing condition
OF the states educational and eleem-
osynary institutions; and compared
our tax rates with those OF adjoining
states under Republican administra-
lions. Mayor Reed spoke for about
two hours and commanded the clos

Democrats should be sure to select
men for committeeman nom the
townships who areinterested enough
to attend the committee meetings
and devote some time toparty work.
IL is said that one who has been a
member OF the Bates County Demo
cratic central committee for eight or
ten years has never attended a meet
ing Of the committee. One can read
lily comprehend that if considerable
number OF committeeman were as
negligent and Indifferent the party
organization would suffer. Select

Luck In Politics.

The late Chief Justice McColluH
Of Pennsylvania owed his election
to a singular accident. He was
nominated for the vacant judgeship
by the Democrats state convention
of 1888 in opposition to James T.
Mitchell, the Republican candidate
There was then no chance of hi
election, but the death of one of the
justices made another vacancy On
the bench, and both Mitchell and
Medium were chosen. Lots were
then cast for seniority of rank, as
their commissions were to expire at
the same time, January, 1910, and
McCollum had the further luck OF
drawing the prize and so succeeded
to the chief justiceship.

said that about the year 1850 the twen-

banquet to his friends when rat rush

dogs, and, jumping on the table, sat up
before Lord Howth as If appealing for
protection He saved its life, and from
that moment it never quilted him. At
last he set out on foreign tour. accom-
panied by his brother, who persuaded
him to leave the rat behind.
Sitting in a hotel at Marseilles, the
door suddenly flew open, and the rat
dripping wet, came crawling In and
went straight to the fire to dry itself.
Lord Howth's brother, enraged at the
intrusion, seized the poker and dashed
out the rats brains You have muir
dered me" exclaimed Lord Howth and
instantly fell down and oxplred.'-Lon
