The annual Thanksgiving oyster
supper by the young people Of the
Locust Creek neighborhood was held
Thursday evening at the pleasant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Eichman.
These annual gatherings at the Eich-
man home have always been highly
enjoyed by all who were fortunate
enough to be present and last Thurs
day nights proved to be no exception
to the rule.
Thanksgiving day passed without
religious services being held at any OF
the churches Of Laclede, although
there are four church organizations
in the town. The weather was bad
and the day quiet one in every re-
spect. Nearly all business houses
closed at noon and remained closed
for the balance CT Tie day. Whatev'
er observance there was was confined
to big dinners and gatherings Of fam
lilies and friends.
Property owners should remember
that there is an ordinance providing
for the removal of snow from th'
sidewalks within twenty-four hours
after it falls. This applies to all side
walks within the city,, whether along
vacant lots, rented property or wha
not, and all who attempt to evadt
their duty should be brought to time
and given to understand that city or
dinances mean something.

her that friends come in seasons Of
sorrow and sickness, for help and com.
fort. One soothing touch ofher kind
j ly hands works wonders in the fever
ish child; q few words let fall from
her lips in the ear Of sorrow-stricken
sister will do much to raise the load
Of grief that is bowing its victim down
to the dust in anguish. The husband
comes home worn out with the pres
sure of business and feeling irritable
with the world in general, but when
enters the cozy sitting room, and
sees the blaze of the fire, and meets
his wife's smiling face, he succumbs in
moment to the soothing influences,
which act as a Balm of Gilead to his
wounded spirits, that are wearied
with the stern, realities of life. The
rough schoolboy flies into rage from
the taunts of his companions, to find
solace in his mothers smile; the little
one, full of grief with her large trou-
BILE, finds haven of rest on her moth
er's breast; and one might go on with
instance after instance of the influence
that sweet-mlnded woman has in the
social circle with which she is connect
ed. Beauty is an insignificant power
when compared with hers.

Many people seem to forget that
character grows; that it is not some
thing to put on, ready made, with
womanhood or manhood; but day by
day, here little and there little,
grows with the growth and strength
ems with the strength until, good or
bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail.
Look at man of business-prompt,
reliable, conscientious, yet clear head
ed and energetic. When do you sup
pose he developed all these admirable

years gets up in the morning, works,
plays, studies, and we will tell you
lust what kind of a man he will make.
The boy who is late at school stands
a poor chance to be prompt man.
The boy who neglects his duties, be
they ever so small, and then excuses
himself by saying, ri forgot; didn't
think" will never be a reliable man.
And the boy who finds pleasure in
the sufferings of weaker things will
never be noble, generous, kindly
mana gentleman.
XXX
The happy, ideal home is not the
home of wealth, neither is it the home
of extreme poverty. In the ideal
home you may not see any ideal fur
niture, no grand piano or stately pic
lures, yet how pleasant and contented
the inmates! The father has no busi-
ness cares or political ambitions to
vex him; the mother has no trouble
with unruly servants. No question
of fine display in dress to occupy her
thoughts. With pleasure the father
and mother see the first tottering
steps of the little one, and feel the ex-
quisite joy which it brings to the
heart of the parent to know that the
first-born can walk. In the home OF
the rich the children are put to bed
by the servants while the parents are
at the opera. The wealthy know not
of the pleasure of family and home
when compared with those in very
moderate circumstances.
Failure does not always mean
weakness; it may mean strength moi
quite strong enough for the greater
task. People who attempt nothing
seldom fail. Napoleon failed at Wa
i terloo because all of Europe was ar
rayed against him.

EIGHT STAMPS SELL FOR Se5O1.
Rare Collection Having Enormous
Price I'm New York.

Eight United States postage stamps
of face value of $1.75, sold at auc-
ton in this city Saturday for s2501,
the highest price brought by stamps
at any sale here this season and prob
ably the highest in years,
The stamps were part of the A. H.
Scholle collection, under the hammer
at the Collectors club, "a West 26th
street. They are full set of the
August IA, 1861 issue. The buyer, j.
NJ. Bartels & Co., is Boston firm,
which has acted as agent for the
United States government in acquiring
stamps for its collection of all issues.
The government lacks this set, and in
all likelihood is the real purchaser.
The issue has an interesting history.
When the civil war began the federal
government was obliged to get out a
new issue in a hurry for use in the
north. This was because the postof-
fices in the south had millions OF
dollars worth of stamps, and their
validity would "give aid and comfort
to the confederacy Therefore, the
issue of August II was put forth. 1t
consisted of l, 8, 5, 10, -, "a, 80 and
90-cent stamps. They were unsatis-
factory in design and quality, and a
new issue was put out month later.
Hence, their scarcity now
The August, 1861, set is the Oldest
which is still valid. If the buyer of
the set wished to use them they
would carry letters and parcels now
up to their face value of s1.75. They
are in the condition most priced by
collectors-with the gum still on
them.
William Knudsen. of this city
picked them up in a little shop in
| Denmark or Sweden some time ago
/ The dealer did not know their value
and sold them at a small price. Knud-
/ sen sold them at large advance to
fellow collector here, who sold
them to dealer. At the Scholle sale
they were offered at an upset price
of $2500, and several bidders were
ready to give that much.
