Got His Moneys Worth.

1t wasn't a Missouri editor but
printers devil who was going through
his first experience in "making up"
forms. The paper was late and the boy
got the galleys mixed. The first part of
the obituary notice of pecunious citi-
zen had been dumped in the forms, and
the next handful of type came off of a
galley that described a recent fire. 1t
read like this: The pail bearers lower
ed the body to the grave and as it was
consigned to the flames there were few
if any regrets, for the old wreck had
been an eyesore to the town for years.

Be Decent.

Deacency is not natural ability, but
it is an accomplishment. People must
be educated and have good horse sense
to be decent. Decency is business, in
politics, in society is an accomplish
ment which should be practiced by all
classes of people. Some people don't
know how to be decent, simply because
they have never been taught anything
but insulting, degrading and unlawful
tricks. Hoping by the performance of
such methods to gain a decent reputa-
ton and have their neighbors call them
great and wise. Such actions will last
sometimes for years, but suddenly they
come to naught. Many men fall by the
wayside just for lack of decency. In
this day and age there is no need for
anyone to be anything else but decent.
1t is never to late to start a decent
career, If you have ever been doing
low down mean tricks, you know it
without anyone else telling you. Was
you ever elevated by single act? l
so, keep right on, if not, just notice how
decent people get along and if their
career appeals to you, why try it.

Chasing a Counterfeit.

Attention Of the banks has been
called by Special Agent John Webb of
the United States secret service to a
new form of raised $1.0O bill which has
been found in circulation passing for
$500 says the Osceola Sentinel. Being
genuine bill to start with, this speci-
men is hard one to detect on casual
inspection. There is no handiwork
upon it, but the figure '1'' is changed to
a $50, tracing the mineral on a thin,
transparent paper laid upon regula-
tion ''V" then cutting out the larger
symbol and FASTING it over the smaller
one. This has been done so neatly on
the raised notes which have come to
light that in bunch of green-backs
they would pass for $500.
The fraud was first detected on bill
over which the paper had been pasted
insecurely, allowing it to curl up at one
corner. The treasury department is
endeavoring to find out where the frau.
dulent paper came faom.

with a number OF firemen standing ON
the running boards on each side. The
wagon stopped at hydrant, and each
fireman Jumped from the wagon with
little roll OF hose. The first man
coupled lis 10 the hydrant and then
each man coupled his section to the

water on the fire. and after another
long period man with a plumed hat
drove up In a victoria. He was the
