paper and sat by her to help spell the
words until the following bona dde
letter was produced in very crooked
printing:

"Oh, we'll" answered Uncle John,
hastily, Il wouldn't have you say any
thing about me on any account. That's
cur secret, Maisie. You will keep it,
won't you, and not tell anybody"
Yes" answered Maisie. Il won't
tell anybody"
But alasl Uncle John should have
been more careful in specifying wha.
particular point should be kept a
secret. Maisie thought only of the
letter, and when Aunt Ruth came
down as soon as the tall figure was

flushed prettily. She always got red
cheeks, somehow, when Ucnle Johns
name was mentioned. But she held
her head up proudly.
Il don't want to know it," she said.
You mustn't tell secrets, Maisie."
"Oh, no." answered Maisie. 81

1t was a most delightful Thanks
giving. Maisie and Uncle John both
agreed on that point. For the turkey
was delicious, and Maisie was deemed
sufficiently well to have a bountiful
supply, as the good governor had
recommended; and Aunt Ruth was
there in her prettiest dress, as smil-
ing and gracious as though she had
never held aloof. And Maisie chose
the turkeys WlShbCne, and when II
had dried for an hour or two, she
brought it to Uncle John.
Wish with me, Uncle john she
said. Uncle John took hold of the
end and glanced at Aunt Ruth. She
must have understood his look, for she
came softly toward him, with cheeks
as pink as her ribbons.

MISSOURI A NEWS
Great German Editor Dead.

DR.. Emil Preetorius, editor Of The
Westliche Post and one Of the fore
most German newspaper men Of the
United States, died at his residence. No.
2013 Park avenue, st. Louis. at the age
of rs. DR.. Preetorius had been in a
serious condition for a week, his death
having been primarily due to blood
poisoning caused by a scratch on the
leg. DR.. Preetorius was born in Alley.
Rhein-Hessen, Germany, in 1927, and
obtained his early education at May
ence and Darmstadt. He took law de-
grees at Glesen and Heidelberg. After
reaching his majority he essayed a part
in the revolution in 1S4S-49 to the
extent that he was compelled to leave
his native land. He came to America
and located in st. Louis in 1853. In
1860 he entered politics, espousing the
cause of Lincoln, and in 1862 was elect
ed to the state legislature as an eman-
cipationist. Although an earnest advo-
cate Of freedom for the black man, he
was a bitter foe to negro equality in
the social sphere. DR.. Preetorius took
charge of the Westliche Post, one of
the leading German papers in the west,
in 1864, and brought that paper to a
national standard When the valleys
of the Rhine were flooded in. the latter
seventies, DR.. Preetorius raised the
sum of $4,000, which was forwarded
to the sufferers. For this he was Of
fered a decoration by the German en-
peror, but he refused, saying that
Americans had no need to DE decorated.
1t was no later than last year that DR..
Preetorius influenced his SON, Edward
L. Pretorius,. to refuse a decoration Of
fered to him by the present emperor.
He cherished a bitterness in his heart
toward the German royal family that
was V allowed to die.
Spivey Will Have Another Trial.
The state supreme court has re-
versed the case of Leo Spivey, con-
victed Of murder and sentenced to be
executed in Pemiscot county. The court
made an important ruling on the stat
ute which requires that changes of
venue, from judges of lower courts,
shall be granted on application of two
reputable witnesses. In this case the
lower court had refused a change of
n on the ground that one witness
was of unsound mind and the character
of the other was questionable. The SUI
preme court holds that trial judges
have no right to inquire into the char
acters of witnesses to %affidavits, but
must grant a change of venue when the
application is in proper form and there
fore granted Spivey a new trial.

Some Whlatllnn Wonders.

Men from time immemorial have
been whistlers; and so expert in the
science are the Canary Islanders that
they hold whistling conversations with
each other. Travellers who have re-
mained with them for some time have
learnt their whistling language; and
one Lieut.. Quedenfeldt, who resided
there for some years, stated that the
natives could, by their whistling, hold
long and complicated conversation
with neighbor a mile off.
Australia can boast Of whistling
spiders, whistling moths and whistling
snakes. The New Guinea whistling
snake is very fierce and dangerous
customer u tackle, and many deaths
were recently reported from its at
attacks. 1t rushes at an intruder with
a whistling sound, and its bite causes
an agonizing death within very short
period.
Plants, caves and wells have been
recorded amongst the whistlers of the
earth. A species of acacia, which
grows in Nubia and the Soudan. is
called by the natives the "whistling
tree" Its whistling arises from the
wind playing upon hole in blad-
der-like formation, the work of some
insects.
The United States has both whis-
Ting caves and wells; and from one
of the latter-in Logan county, Kan
sas-the rushing wind has been util-
lied to give louder note, as warn
ing of an approaching storm, through
brass whistle placed over it for the
purpose; and the longer it blows the
more intense will be the coming
| storm.-Montreal Herald.
