FOLK FOR GOVERNOR.

Folk has been nominated for governor of Missouri by the Democratic convention in Jeffer- son City. Cook and Allen have been placed upon the ticket, how ever, though the convention was in the hands of Folks friends. This latter result was due to the instruction of delegates by many of the counties.
 MT. Folk said, in discussing the ticket:
 "There was absolutely no com promise of any nature or charac- ter. The nominees of the con- vention represent the wishes of the Democracy of the State, ex- pressed in county primaries and in conventions. There was no way for me to prevent the nomi- nation of men who had been in- structed for.
 "Of course, could have de- clined the nomination for gover- nor, but it would have been childish to desert the men who had stood by me in this stren- uous fight, and declined to do the work delegated to me simply be- cause other men on the ticket were not my personal choice" :"

POCAHONTAS HOME
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

Pocahontas, July 21. -One of Mrs. Kate Morris houses on the south side of town was burned at an early hour this morning. It caught from a defective flue, and although there were other houses within forty feet, yet on account of no breeze they were easily saved.
 The house was occupied by the children of w. H. Bell, he and his wife being down on the river, pearling. This makes the third fire for MT. Bell within the last twelve months. In the first two his loss was total, but this time he had a small insurance. Loss of house and contents was about $500, with S4O0 insurance.

The peacock at The Feast.

Brehm informs us that the flesh OF
the young peacock is very delicate and
has "a wild odor" which is very agree
able. He thinks an old bird fit only
for stewing. The Greeks must have
found it marvellous costly feeding If
it be true, as Aelian says that a single
bird was worth a thousand drachmas

was held in the last days Of the Roman
republic did not diminish under the
imperial regime
Vitellus and Heliogabalus served up
10 their boon companions enormous
dishes of peacocks' tongues and brains
seasoned with the rarest Indian spices.
In medieval days it was still held in
favor. particularly as a Christmas
dish. and Ministries sang of it as food
for lovers and meat for lords"
To fit it for the table was no ordl-
nary culinary operation. After the skin
and plumage had been carefully strip

"save the Mark"

The ancient use of a cross instead OF
a signature was universal alike by
those who could and by those who
could not write. 1t was a symbol of
an oath from its earliest associations.
On this account Charles Knight, In
his notes on "The Pictorial Shake
speare," explains the expression GOD
save the mark QHenry IV) as a form
of ejaculation approaching to the form
of an oath Kelly, in his Comments
on Scotch Proverbs" observes that the
Scots, when they used to compare per
son to person, used the expression,
"Save the mark" Another eXplana-
ton of the expression is that in arch
cry when an archer shot well it was
the custom to cry out, God save the
mark"-that is. prevent any one com
ing after to hit the same mark and
thereby displace the arrow. Ironically,
il was said to a novice whose arrow
struck nowhere.

The Mississippi.

Generally speaking, the slope of
rivers flowing into the Mississippi from
the east is, on the average, about three
inches per mile. Those entering it
from the west have an average descent
of about six inches per mile. The aver
age descent per mile of the Missouri
after it leaves the mountains is reck-
Oned about a foot; the Des Moines,
from its source to its conjunction with
the Mississippi about 7.3 inches. The
entire length of the Ohio shows a fall
of even five inches. The Mississippi,
from the mouth of the Ohio to the
gulf, has a fall of about two and one
half inches.

VAIHILE the governor and Colonel
Jurnieff were planning the
k-SST=si great surprise to be given the
tsstA2J guests two stealthy figures
left the palace. Jurnieffs carriage was
easily found, and they stepped into it.
Prince Dellnikoff was dressed in n
plain uniform he had worn as lieuten-
ant Of cavalry. He wore over that a
long black cloak that concealed every
inch Of his apparel In his arms he
carried his brilliant uniform Of inspect
or general of prisons
Alma laughed, called him q good
prince and patted his cheek. She let
his arm rest about her waist as the
carriage hurried to Jurnieff's home.
Arriving, she led the prince by a pri-
vate way to Jurnieffs apartments. A
servant met them and was dismissed
with the curt remark that Colonel Jur-
nieff had sent them for something and
they needed no attendance.
She left Dellnikoff in the library and
took the bundle from him. She hurried
to her room. When she got there, she
knelt and prayed Marie found her on
her knees and lifted her

herself in the uniform of the inspector
general of prisons. In a closet were
pair Of boots she had purchased. The
long cloak she had bought as that
worn by Dellnikoff, covered her COM
pletely. With a pair of shears she cut
her beautiful tresses short. In her ex-
element she left them where they fell
upon the floor. She went to the library
and threw aside the cloak.
