Ths Rays the Greatest Judge Of False

II seems the X rays have been proved
to be the greatest Judge OF false jewels

SunflOwer Philosophy.

When we travel we always
think that the best looking peo
pie stay at home.
When a man goes into bust
ness, after he is so. it is the
hope of establishing something
for his son.
The trouble with the woman
who has success with flowers is
that her family hasn't a window
at home to look out of.
Listen to any girl of 16 and
the tenth word she will Say is
"chum," aud it appears every
fifth word in her conversation
afterward.
One great trouble is that
those who need the exercise in
tennis and ball games are the
ones who look anything but
graceful in taking it.
When a man has as many as
as three night shirts, it doesn't
mean all good luck: The third
was made to have in the house
for company.
1t is funny the difference in
taste: When woman wants to
change the color of her nair. she
blondines it, but when a man
wants to change his he dyes it
black.
The women in the picnic par
ties that go over to the lake
fishing are divided into two
classes: The younger women
in dainty white and the married
women in Mother Hubbards and
sunbonnets, and another differ
ence is that the married women
do their fishing in the water.

Republicans Loot SchOolFund.

w.ys been greatly concerned
about the school fund of Mis-
souri,. 1t wanted TO see the
books to show up awful things
that the Democrats had been
dong in this state for these
past many years. But when the
Republicans came into posses
sion of the books and after
very careful and critical exami-
nation had been made to find |
the "looting" it's big party or
gan had been charging for years
and years. the wind was taken
out of the sails of the Globe
Democrat and it has been silent
on the "looting" ever since
The journal has, however, uu-
earthed a matter that needs the
immediate attention of the
Globe Democrat, and it is a
matter concerning the "sacred
school fund of Missouri"
Looking back over the re.
ports of the State Superintend.
ent of Public Schools for the
past seven years some really
interesting figures are found.
These reports show that in
1900 the school apportionment
made in the state was 1890, 430 =
56 In 1901, the apportionment
was $1,O66, O2O 81, an increase
over 1900 of S95, 590.25 In 1902
the apportioument was 81, 10,
81 4S, an increase over 1901 of
$S4, 29OG1. In 1903 the appor-
tioument was 81. 232 ,598 ID, an
increase over 1902 of 500, 286 66
In 1904 the apportionment Was
81. 285, $50 OF, an increase over
1903 of $50 931.93. In 1905 the APP
purtioument Wa S, $40, 024.97, ar
increase over 1904 of $54, 494. 80
This shows an average increase
of about $40, 600 GO a year fol
the six years. This was undel

money.

e can landslide IN Missouri sweep

And what happened?
In 1904 the first apportion
ment made under Republica
management the report show
n that the increase fell from $40,
y 10000 to 100000!

dren of Missouri received $50,
