In speech at Warrensburg. Mo-,
Wednesday. Gov. Joseph Folk Of that
state said:
I'VE are in the beginning Of the great.
est moral awakening America has ever
known. The next four years will be
distinguished as the time in which
the reign Of lawlessness and privilege
ended and routine Of equal right for all
became fixed in national policies and
the conscience Of mankind. The fact
that this awakening against wrongs
bas come with prosperity shows that
Il does not proceed from a spirit Of
discomfort, but that Il springs from
the moral sense Of the people. We are
entering upon the best age the world
has ever known.
The legislature Of the State should
not be controlled by any special inter-
est whether corporation. or liquor sell.

to wake up and see that men NO to the
legislature who will represent the peo-
pie. Have the candidates speak out on
these questions. This State belongs to
no interest. Il belongs to the people.

One of our local physicians, WHIP
began his career as disciple of ~

a few powders, gave the directions
and departed for his home in that dig

day he visited the sick man and found
him clinging to the thermometer but
almost exhausted. as he thought the
little instrument under his arm was a

BITS OF BYPLAY.

In 1879 or so John F. Winchester
commonly known as Wandering John"
got into an alteration with well
known Marion character. The well
known character threatened to cut him
into giblets and tan his hide On the end
of board and without further ado drew
a long dirk and started for the I'M
happy printer. John was working on
the Press "at the time and Bob Walk
Ell was straining every nerve Saturday
nights to pay him off. so of course he
consulted with Bob who stood near, as
to what to do. Bob's advice was, run
yon fool" and run he did. The well
known Marion character finally rounded
him into house on the Jail lot and
stood guard for half day. When
Wandering John" finally made his es-
cape he left Marion and has never been
back since. One of our citizens saw
him several years ago. John handed
him a card on which was inscribed the
following;
John Winchester.

In retrospection the Record Rounder
called back few years and saw a
familiar Marion figure on the road to
see his best girl. He wore a brown
suit of clothes that was dandy, shoes
that were paten. leather, a white shirt
that was as stiff as a board, and that
tall stove pipe hat would have put beau
Brummel TO the bad. He was
corker, tall and straight as an indian
he walked stiff legged and was as polite
to the ladies as a basket Of chips, One
of his lady friends called him that
proud rascal" and he has gone by the
name Of proud rascal ever since.

Not many years ago certain Bap-
fist lady Of Marion made special trip
n Louisville to attend Baptist con-
vent ion. Great were the preparations
for her special report Of this particular
convention; great were the expectations
Of many. A pencil and tablet were
stored away and she was going to
make a report that would put a news
paper reporter to the bad. She arrived
in Louisville she went 10 hest hotel.
The next morning she started for the
convention. When about half way there
she heard the siren notes Of a string
band a..d on closer inspection found a
spealer telling Of the wonders Of a
dog show just inside. all for the sum
Of ten cents. The music was very al.
Turing the spealer was very interesting.
Was Il any wonder that she took in the
dog show and forgot the Baptist con-
vention?

The Worship of Snakes.

N many provinces Of India the cobra e.
still worshipped, and not only wor-
shipped but pampered and protected.
This form OF religion has such hold over
the people that 1t has successfully re-
sisted the invasion OF other religious be-
liefs. From the fact that one Of these
districts contains from fifteen thousand to
twenty thousand shrines dedicated sXclu-
sively to the propitiatory worship Of sn X .
one Is somewhat in a position to under
stand the intensity and popularity OF this
ancient form of worship. These shrnes
are Invariably in honor of the minor dl-
whites OF the country. some of them be-
ing Of venerable age and more than local
repute, and possessing extensive and val
liable properties for their maintenance and
for the cost of the numerous ceremonies
which their keepers have to perform from
time to time
In these shrines the Hin5oos set down
fantastic idols of serpents on a stone base
ment, and The shrine rs protected by "A
mud wall. 1t Is essential to THE welfare
Of the householders that they should make
periodical offerings Of dough and milk and
cooked rice 10 the serpeline hab.,ues Of
the shrine, and place lights and chant
hymns in order to be assured Of their
favor
In addition TO the special feasts there are
daily ceremonies. Every morning the king
and the queen OF the serpents are bathed,
and fruit and milk are offered to them; at
noon cooked rice is offered, and fried grain
follows after a reasonable interval has
been allowed to these lucky creatures to
digest the choice ylands that have gone
before.
On certain star days the idols in the
grove and n the household temple are car
risd IN procession to the house, where pro-
pitiatory offerings are made The presld-
ing funcLonary az all these various cere-
monies Is necessarily the eldest female
member of the family who has 10 practise
