VALUABLE BOOK BY MISSOURI
AUTHOR.
RAIDERS Revised Civil Government
and History as Readable as a
Novel.

This paper is in receipt of a copy
of the Revised RAIDERS Civil Gov
ernment and History of Missouri
just from the press of the Tribune
Printing Company at Jefferson
City. Over one hundred pages
have been added to the former
book, and the entire text has been
rewritten with a special view to
making the book thoroughly in
teresting not only in the school
room, but to the leisure hours of
the casual reader. We can testify
to the fact this purwose has been
thoroughly realized.
The Civil Government which
up a large part of the new volume
is doubtless unsurpassed by any
other book OF the kind offered for
use in the schools aud represents
years Of carsful study on the part
of the author, Perry S. RAIDER.
Pts close connection with the
courts of this State has made him
a recognized authority on the sub
ject in hand. Being treated from
the standpoint Of a Missourian
thoroughly capable Of the task
the book is practically invaluable
to Missouri library or a Missouri
school.
Raiders Civil Government and
History of Missouri is one of the
adopted books for Nilsson r i
schools. The price of the revised
will be the same as that of the
former edition.

The Highway Cow.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean, and her neck was slim
One horn turned up and the other turnec
| down;
She was keen of vision and long of limb;
With Roman nose and short stump tail,
And ribs like the hoops on homemade pail
| Many mark did her body bear,
She had been target for all things, known
On many scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where it once ha,
grown;
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many well-aimed stone,
Many brickbat of goodIy size,
And many cudgel, swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her bovine eyes,
Or had bounded off from her bony back,
With noise like the sound of rifle crack
Many day had she passed in the pound
For helping herself to her neighbours corn
Many cowardly cur and hound
Had been transhxed on her crumpled horn
Many teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her tme-worr
tail.
Old Deacon Gray was pious man,
Though sometimes tempted to be profane,
When many weary mile he ran
To drive him out of his growing grain.
Sharp were the pranks she used to play
To get her fill and to get away.
She knew when the deacon went to town,
She wisely watched him when he went by;
He never passed her without frown
And an evil CLEAN in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in surely way,
And drive along in his "one-hoss shay"
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with her crumpled horn,
Nimbly scaling his garden wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn;
Eating his cabbages, one by one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And striding forth with savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
As lightnings flash in summer sky,
Redder and redder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would go.
oVer Tic SaTutH, Iould anu Tounu,
Breaking his pear and apple trees;
Tramping his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hives of bees;
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The MOSES grew on the garden WALL
The years went by with their work and play
The boys of the village grew strong and tall
And the gray-haired farmers passed away,
One by one as the red leaves fall,
But the highway COW outlived them all.
