MY OZARK MOUNTAIN HOME.

 The hallowed scenes of yore; The rustic Cottage by the woods
 With ivy on the door. Through fields of clover with bloom

 My dear old mountain home. Where wedding ferns are bending o'er The murmuring mountain stream And leaves are dancing overhead,
 Again l idly dream Upon that streamlet's messy bank
 A future fair I'd view, An! had known those glowing dreams
 Would nevermore come truei Once more upon my ruddy cheek
 I feel the scented breeze And list to notes of songsters sweet
 Resoundng from the trees A few more years have drifted by
 And in some shady lane l whisper low in someone s" ear
 Of love that will not wane. The mountains green which one above The other gently rise Til they in distance fade away
 To mingle with the skies. The fields and orchards rising from
 The midst of verdure green No tongue or pen could e'eF portra ay The beauty of the SceneI And now the shades Of twilight change To deeper shades of night And from the village on the hill
 The lights are gleaming bright, And through the mystic, dreamy night Soft drifting to and fro, The chime of tinkling eowbells in
 The valley far below. And mingled with the mournful cry Of some lone nightly bird The rumbling Of the water falls
 Is in the distance heard As leaping, dancing o'er the ledge
 Those waters take their flight, Each scintillatlng liquid gem
 Reflects the moons soft light. l was not satisfied there Tn

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Fa-
miliar to the
Public.


The story Of how probably the most per-
feet feminine hand in America became
known to the people is rather interesting.
As the story goes the possessor of the
hand was with some friends in a pho
tographer's one day and while talking, held
up a piece of candy. The pose of the
hand with its perfect contour and faultless
shape attracted the attention OF the artist
who proposed to photograph II. The result
was a beautiful picture kept in the family
until one day. after reading letter from
someone inquiring as to who wrote the
Postum and Grape Nuts advertisements.
Mr.. Post said to his wife, We receive
so many inquiries of this kind, that 1t
is evident some people are curious to know,
suppose we let the advertising department
have that picture OF your hand to print
and name it "A Helping Hand Mrs.
Post has assisted him in preparation of
some Of the most famous advertisements.
There was a natural shrinking from the
publicity. but with an agreement that no
name would accompany the picture its
use was granted.
The case was presented in the light Of
extending a welcoming hand TO the friends
OF Postum and Grape-Nuts, so the picture
appeared on the back of the covers of
many Of the January and February maya
zines and became known TO millions of
people.
Many artists have commented upon II
as probably the most perfect hand in the
world.
The advertising department of the Postum
company did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of the
public, by refraining from giving the name
OF the owner when the picture appeared
but states that the name would be given
later in one of the newspaper announce
ments, thus seeking to induce the readers
to look for and read the forthcoming adj
vertisements to learn the name of the
owner.
This combination of art and commerce
and the multitude of inquiries furnishes
an excellent illustration of the interest
the public takes in the personal and family
life OF large manufacturers whose names
become household words through extern
sive and continuous announcements in
newspapers and periodicals.

NEVER REACHED THE CHURCH
visitor from the Country Runs Into
Calling Gun and Misses
Service.

A stranger evidently from the country,
together with his family, was leisurely
driving along Farnam street Sunday morn
ing and, seeing a crowd of people con-
gregated in the street and upon the side
walk, drove up to the curb and accosted
a man leaning on his cane.

The attraction was Company G. National

in position so that it pointed directly ut

uncovered before him, look of terror

screeched the terror stricken traveller, as

but in his excitement and haste to give
the military company a clear field he
dropped one OF his lines, and instead OF
recovering his steering paraphernalia. he
kept yanking the one line he still held.
The horses, instead OF backing gracefully
out of an awkward position, were pulled by
the line held by the driver right around
almost on top of the gatling gun. The
more he pulled and shouted, the nearer
he got 10 the gun. A bystander, graspins
the situation. seized the near horse by the
bride and turned the animals head in the
direction away from the gun, and one OF
the crowd picked up the dropped line and
placed ii in the old mans hands. and with
a. stroke of the whip the horses were

SALOON CASES ARE PUT OVER
Postponed One Day Because of Error
In the Papers Prepared
by Thomas.

When the motion Of Elmer e Thomas
of the Civic Federation for an order to re-
quire the Fire and Police board to cancel
the licenses of five saloon keepers came
up before Judge kennedy OF the district
court Monday at y. m. attention was
called by City Attorney Breen to the fact
that the essential part of the transcript
filed in the district court had been omitted
by Mr. Thomas. He referred to the final
order made by the board, granting the
licenses to the saloons in question. He
contended the orders were necessary before
an appeal could be taken and without them
the courts had no jurisdiction to act on
the motion.
Mr.. Thomas agreed that the order should
be included in the files and promised TO
make the correction at once and by agree
ment the hearing was postponed until $50
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Breen gave notice
as soon as the order was attached to the
transcript he would make formal objections
on the grounds over sixty days had
elapsed since the board had made the
order and the court had no jurisdiction to
entertain an appeal at this late date. This
will be the first question brought before
the court and It will have to be decided
before the matter can be heard on its
merits.
Mr.. Thomas stated to the court he was
ready to proceed in all the cases excepting
those of the schlitz Brewing company and
William Buthorn. These cases. he said,
he would like to have continued until
Thursday. The other cases involve Ed
Maurer. Mike Branski and Joe Wachtler.
Mr.. Thomas filed affidavtts to the effect
that the delay in completing the appeal
was due to the unlawful refusal Of the fire
and police board to furnish transcripts of
I the evidence.
