but a change came over his
dream one day. 1t must have
been the day he and one Bill
Phelps, the King of Lobbyists
were invited to dance on the
carpet" in Hon. j. W. Folks
private office. From that office
he apparently came shorn of
gubernatorial and attorney
general ambition, came out a
"mere man." a henchman for
Mr. Folk, a criticlser of "beer"
at Democratic banquets, and for
the first time a criti User of
what he had been accustomed
to ever since he entered politics.
Will he, can he, Daltonize
Monroe County, can he drive
hither and thither at his sweet
will, Monroe citizens who
claim to be Democrats and at
least balf-white?
BY the way, if credit is due
any one for forcing the hood
ling exposure upon the world
then give it to Rev. Craytou S.
Brooks, who made the tempest

men, who were supposed to be
honest and were elected by
honest men.

GROTESQUE
BURLESOUE.

We hardly think there are
many men in Monroe County
who have forgotten how and
when Monroe County was Dial.
touized and the result of it.
What brings this up? The re-
port several weeks since that
Speaker James H, Whitecotton
would at the proper time deliv-
er the county to Hon. Joseph
W. Folk.
Last week the News in SPEAK
ing of lobbying said: His
WhiteCOttOns-anger was arous-
ed like that OF a hon. He was
at his best. He shook his fist
etc. Yes, the Hon. James is a
grand stand player, Are his
feet of clay? 1t will be remem-
bered that he was at the Paris
jaiI the night of the Withrup
neck tie party, and that he tried
to do what? Make political cap
ital, It there had have been
another purpose. there would
have been prosecutions. Nit.
As Speaker of the House he
left his chair, shoUk-his name
his fist in the face of the rep
resentatives and blurted out,
"hemp ought to be used on this
floor"
Now, as lawyer doesn't
Mr.. Whitecotton know, that if
he knew that "hemp ought to
be used,' and yet concealed
the crime that would justify
the use of hemp, he himself be-
came a party to that crimeP IF
he did not know it, then why
should he place the charge on
the house and the humiliation
on the Democrats of the state?
About that time Mr.. White
cotton had not decided whether
he wanted to be Governor of
Missouri or Attorney General,
and of course all he had to do
was to make his wants known,

By the grace Of Mary Jane the Bron-
son Kyles were permitted to enjoy their
suburban home. Happy Hilltop, for
three years. Then came the deluge.
Mary Jane married the iceman. Mr..
Kyle made unpleasant remarks about
the iceman. Mrs Kyle wept and gave
Mary Jane her wedding dress.
During the next three months hand
maids came and landmarks went until
Mr.. Kyle evinced no surprise when the
third servant in one week brought In

ton saw things in the corner OF the
kitchen and In her efforts to dislodge
the obnoxious intruders destroyed sew
en- fine china plates, four saucers and q
family heirloom in the form of blue
and white gravy boat.
Mrs. Kyle sent the remains of the
gravy boat to china repairer. cleaned
and closed the servants room, hired a
boy to look after the cellar and the fires
and took possession of her own kitchen.
She scored success in her undertake.

but he watched his wife with growing
dismay. She never had time to sit down
and chat with him. The bloom faded
from her cheeks, three tiny lines deep
ened in her forehead, and night found
her too tired to>run into town for con-
cert or the newest play.
The theater had been one of their pet
diversions, and Mr.. Kyle missed 1t sore
ly. Gradually he fell into the habit
of stopping in town over night when
something particularly good was on.

in her self sacrifice. The woman has
not yet been born who does not enjoy
playing the role of martyr to domestic
duties-for limited period-but with
the approach of spring she became Ian
