Jefferson City, NO., Jan. 9.-No
appointments save that of Hal

were announced by Gov. Folk to-
day. Yesterday Mr.. Folk an-
nounccd that he would appoint n
warden OF the penitcntiary, but a
conflict arose In the Folk ranks,
and 1t was held up.
While 1t is generally conceded
here that Matt Hall OF Saline
county will be named for this
office, the friends OF X. T.. See of
Montgomery county went to the
front for him strong to-day. n.
w. Mcleod IL one Of Sees sup.
porters, and he Is said to have
urged Sees claim with vigor.
The result was TO suspend the ap.
poiutmcnt for a day o two.
See was one Of the original Folk
men. He came near being arrested
In north Missouri early in the
campaign at the instigation Of the
machine. He has been abused
like a pirate by the machine
members. For this reason Mcleod
feels that he Is entitled to some.
thing good.
Friepds OF Hall declare that he
was an original Folk man. and
that See did his lighting on q
salary from the Folk committee
Sec will be made assistant warden
II Hall Is selected to head the

EMERSON HoUaH GETS EVEN

EMERSON HOUGH GETS EVEN
WITH AN OSTEOPATH-The Book
man is responsible for the following
tale about Emerson Hough:
An instance Of revenge long deferred,
tho none the less sweet once In a while
comes into the life of literary men. More
than dozen years ago Emerson Hough
wrote story called "Hasenberg's Cross
Eyed Horse" which he sought diligently,
but unsuccessfully, to market with the
great number Of the known periodicals
Of the world. At last the story found a
resting place in Mr.. Houghs desk. Three
years ago, feeling a bit let down physi-
cally. he took the advice of a dis
tinguished publisher Of New York and put
himself In the hands Of an osteopathic
physician. Some doubts as to the bene-
fetal results existed. but no doubt what
ever as to the size Of the bill. Mr..
,Hough pondered long and seriously on
the question of getting even with his
doctor. At length he happened to think
Of his old story Of the cross eyed horse.
'I'H have the osteopath treat the horses
cross eyes," said the author to himself.
Whereupon, he rewrote the story, sold 1t
promptly at good figure, and made it
a chapter Of his last novel, Hearts De-
SIRE where it is known as Science AT
Hearts Desire"

MARK TWAIN TO HIS illus
TRATOR.-When Dan Beard was about
to begin the illustration Of "a Con
necticut Yankee at King. Arthur s
Court he went to Mr.. Clemens for
suggestions, says SUCCESS: NJ, c,o.on.
IF An editor should come to me and
ask me, to write him a story, and should
then sit down and tell me how to write
it, I'd say, FGol darn yer, 60 and hire
a typewriter. Now, Dan, it's your
business to illustrate that book, not
mine. y After few moments Of re-.
Election, however, he looked up and said
with an affectation Of great solemnity;
"Dan, I don't like to inf1ict unneces-
sary suffering on YOU, but I will venture
to make one suggestion. Please read
the book before you illustrate it,
Mr.. Beard adopted the suggestion
with the result that some time later, in
looking over illustrations of his works,
Clemens said: GA great many men can
make; pictures for my books, but Dan
Beard Is The only man who can illustrate
my thoughts. I"
