A Missouri Song.

Nothing endures as songs the words
OF which die upon the air. Nothing
exploits a state, a community, an in
%stitutiOn so much as songs. Happy
the common wealth with a real song
which tells its story, inspires its IONS
and calls up tender memories for its
absent children. maryland, My
Maryland, and my Old Kentucky
Home" are examples. Years ago the
writer published an appeal for a Mis-
souri, song, Many have been written,
some excellent, others less so. None
has caught the popular fancy and none
apparently has the ring which means
immortality. Within a year, another
Missouri song has been published, oil
finer character ana with a sweeter
melody. 1t comes out Of Lexington, II
town with the genuine Missouri flavor
Herbert Williams has written the word.
which A, Lincoln UT has set to music.
The song has high sentiment. 1t ha,

WANT AMERICAN WIVES.
Foreign Diplomats Have Good Rea-
sons for Seeking Matches in
This Country.

The leading conservative news
paper of Berlin denOunces the
marriage by diplomats of Ameri-
can wives, saying that this tends
to demOcratize Europe and that
such wives are really political
agents of the United States. 0nI
the same day, says the New York
American, we learn by cable dis
patch that Countess Waldersee
is credited with the overthrow Of
Bismarck; that Nine. Bakmatieff,
wife of the Russian envoy Sofia,
has great influence with Prince
Ferdinand and is protecting the
Americans there, and that the
duchess of Marlborough is so
greatly in favor at King Edwards
court that her husbands rapid ad-
vance is credited to her.
Many diplomats marry Ameri.
can wives for several good rea-
sons, the chief of which is that
the breadth of mind and height Of
standards which prevail among
the cultivated women of this coun.
try are not to be found elsewhere.
The English and the German
wife are primarily domestic; the
Spanish and Italian are affection
ate, and the high-class French
woman is prone to view her hus-
bands station merely as an aid to
her own triumph.
Only the American girl has the
intelligence to enter into her hus-
bands ambition and the devotion
and tact to assist it. This being
the case, the Staatsburger lei.
tung must either prevail upon the
reichstag to pass a law f%orbidding
the Importation Of the American
wife or protest to the unrespon-
sive air.
Perhaps the highest develop.
ment of wifely genius is the sur.
rounding of a busy diplomatic hus.
band with rest and harmony al
home.
This was the genius of Mrs
Gladstone, and it has passed per
manently into history, and this is
also the present fame of Mrs
Chamberlain. But that which
prominently distinguishes the
1 American woman-tact-and al
long as she continues to possess
it diplomats will continue to mar
, ry her, all the German papers t
the contrary Notwithstanding.

Missouri State Fair

The fourth annual exhibition Of the
Missouri State Far should be The
most successful in the history Of the
institution. The dates selected do not
conflict with the live stock exhibit at
st. Louis nor with any of the great
State Fairs. This should assure a
great live stock exhibit and an un-
rivaled display Of agricultural and in
dnstrial products.
Missourians and Missouri exhibitors
should be impressed with the i'm
portance Of the State Fair, and re-
member that it is a permanent insti-
tuition destined to develop the states
resources, promote its industries, ad-
vertise its advantages. Its wealth and
It's grandeur, for all time to come.
No unusual occurrence, regardless OF
its magnitude and its attractions; no
entertainment for a season, however
brilliant it may be, should detracl
from an interest in the State Fair, OF
cause M%lssourians % swerve in theil
loyalty TO an institution that. through.
out future generations, is to stand fol
them, or their progress, and the al
vaDcement Of their industrial inter

Raisins as Food.

Rasins are specially valuable in
cases where sustained physical ex-
ercise is necessary, aifOrding both
nourishment and stimulus. A
bunch of raisins eaten when ia.
tigued often serve the same pur-
pose as a glass of wine. Figs and
dates are both valuable in certain
conditions, but should be thor
oughly washed and looked over
before eating. Green figs are an
excellent food. - Washington

Copyright, 1904. by 7. c. Mecl1reI
A dozen Of us from the whale ship
Polly made a landing on Lighthouse
island, on the northwest coast of Aus
tralia, one morning for wood and wa
ter, and for fear we might meet with
adventure four Of the men were armed
with muskets As we landed on the
sandy beach Of a little cove we saw a
small and queerly constructed raft
drawn up on the sands. and leading
away from II were the tracks of bu-
man feet It needed only glance to
show that they We're the footprints or
a woman, and as we noticed the CON
struction of the raft the dullest sailor
could figure that no man ever put 1t
together.
We felt certain that there was a wo-
man on the island and that she was
there solitary aud alone There was d
we'll beaten path leading from the shore
to the woods, and as we were In search
of water part OF US took this path,
while the others remained behind TO
fell trees At about twenty rods from
the beach we who had taken the path
came upon a fine spring, from which
we could fill our casks. and for several
hours, or until the captain came ashore,
no one penetrated farther After din
ner six men We're detailed to beat up
the woods and see II the woman could
be found.
4 few rods from the spring. where
the forest was more open, we came
upon a hut with a smoldering fire at
the door. The hut was made of sticks,
stones, shells and mud, and again a
womans handiwork was clearly shown,
In the interior was a bed OF dry grass
aud some ragged and faded garments
OF womans wear
AS our stay on the island would be
for three or four days, the captain or
dered that bedding and provisions be
placed in the hut for the use Of the
castaway, and that we should make no
hunt for her just then for fear Of alarm
ing her. A letter was written and
placed with the things, giving her the
name Of the ship and saying we were
friends, and then we went about our
own work.
Next morning it was ascertained that
the woman had spent the night In her
hut. she had made bed Of the
blankets and eaten Of the provisions.
but she had torn the letter into many
pieces. and that probably without read
ing It. we left another letter for her,
but 1t met the fate Of the first. On the
fourth day. as we had finished our
work and the castaway had not come
near us, II was determined TO run her
down and discover who she was.
TO make speedy and thorough job
OF this everybody but the cook was
landed. and we had about forty five
men in line. We stretched out across
the head Of the island Ike 50 many
skirmishers and then swept down It's
