Joplin Preachers and Prayer.

The Carthage Press is panied to note
that the esteemed ministers OF Joplin
are a trifle slow when it comes to pre-
vailing 10 prayer.
Let it not be thought from this re-
luctant statement that the brethren OF
the cloth in the neighboring town are
necessarily ineffective when it Gomez
to laying hold OF the horns OF the altar.
After they have once got going, we
fancy, they do we'll enough. 1t is the
seemingly slight but all-important mat.
ter of the start that appears to be their
special weakness, il not their complete
undoing.
just the other day, for instance, says
the Press, the preachers Of Joplin decid.
ed to pray for rain. Joplin, they learn.
ed, was getting decidedly dry, and il
the city they know so we'll was in that
contli ton, they shuddered to think how
sad must be the plight Of towns that re-
quire less liquid to run them. So the
preachers vowed vow to pray for d.
vine intervention in the ending OF tho
,drouth.
Then, instead of going down ON their
marrow bones and beginning, they set
the following Sunday morning at IL
O'Clock as the time for commencing
their supplications. But at 10 o'clock
Sunday morning it began to rain, and
when the preachers Of Joplin were
ready to start their petitions to the
throne Of grace. the torrents on the roof
were making 80 much noise that no.
body could hear the prayers the preach.
ers had 90 carefully formulated.
Think OF the disappointment Of the
Joplin pulpiteers, after taking so much
time for preparation.
They meant we'll, Of course, and their
prayers would doubtless have sounded
we'll. But the preachers Of Joplin were
too slow about getting startod-and
Providence beat them to it.

w. E. Newberry vagabond fiddler,
got . haif.column write.up ia the Jop.
lin Globe few days sgo by virtue Of =
touching little ballad which he compos.
ed himself, and which runs rs follows:
"Of oil the towns that I been 10

The dear old town Of Joplin is
Undoubtedly the best
Her people are 80 friendly,
And IL some prove untrue,
They only come to make raise

Which recalls to us notice We saw .
few weeks ago in a Hannibal daily prais-
ing vagabond fiddler, W. E. Newberry
by name, and giving the words OF o
touching little ballad he had composed in
honor OF that city. 1t has been some
weeks since we read it, but IL we mis-.
take not it ran thusly:
"Of all the towns that I been in
In north, eouth, east or west,
The dear old town of Hannibal is
Undoubtedly the best.
Her people are so friendly
And il some prove untrue,
They only come to make q raise
In the town OF old Missou."
And which also suggests that fiddler
Newberry knows considerably more
about this touching" business than
either the Joplin or Hannibal reporter
does about vagabond fiddlers.

STORE IMPROVEMENT
The Menagh Company VIII Connect
and Re-arrange Their Stores

The George Menagh & Co. firm is
about to arrange to connect their two
business buildings. The firm owns
the two east store buildings of the
Laub Block on Broadway. it also owns
the building on Main street in which
the Sievers sadlery business was
carried on for SO many years. The
same business is now conducted by
the Menagh firm and also the hard
ware department is there. The
Main street building will be extended
back until it is $50 feet long. Then
the Broadway building will be en-
larged to connect. The floor level
will not be the same but the entrance
from one room to the other will be as
convenient as possible. This means
that the firm will enlarge and extend
the business. 1t insures to DEM
son three large department stores.

LADIES HOME JOURNAL PATTERNS.
The Bale Brodersen Co. Given the
Exclusive Agency for This City.

Whether professional or amateur.
the woman who would be success at
dressmaking must be sure of her pat
terms. They are the foundation up
on which the success of the perfect
whole depends. Pattern making has
at last been brought to high stand
ard. as everybody knows who has
even the slightest acquaintance with
those published by the Ladies Home
Journal. at great expense the pro-
prietors of that publication have given
to the public such patterns as reduced
to the lowest possible terms the COM
plications that have hitherto beset
the woman who had the faculty" of
cutting and sewing but who was often
discouraged at the results of her Ia
bors.
Beginning today. The Bale Broder-
sen Co.. will have the exclusive
agency in this city for the Ladies
Home Journal patterns. All the large
cities of the United States have sim
liar agencies and thousands are finding
their fall sewing problem lessened by
the use of these simple methods.
These patterns are sold at uniform
prices of ten and fifteen cents. and
with each there is given a copy If the
monthly Style Book which. in more
complete form and with numerous fine
features is published quarterly and
sold for 20 cents. The guide chart
which accompanies all patterns is of
inestimable help to those who are just
beginning the eminently satisfactory
accomplishment of making their own
cloths. Simple and accurate these
patterns are invaluable not only tor
the production of women's and chill
dren is garments. but for suggestions
for needlework. embroideries. layettes
and the nursery. costume parties.

We GET EVEN BREAK |
Denison and Vail Each Claim a
Victory.
BALLOON AsCENDs AT VAIL
Denison Allows Eight Scores in One
Inning Making New Record

Since the Carroll fiasco. base ball
has been below par in Denison. A
game with Lohrvlle was won easily
BY the Denison bunch with bort in
the box. On Friday the Vail team
came down and with Whisman up
Denison started in to give the east
enders real good licking. The score
was 10 0 in the 5th and then Vail
laid down and forfeited the game.
Kelly was umpire and later. after
the game had been forfeited and the
book of rules consulted it was found
that he was right. 1t was poor policy
for Vail to quit the game even had
the decision been wrong. The play
ers are under some obligation to
spectators. whose money they are
taking. and further it is much better
to be 'tsport" and take what comes
than to play the baby act.
The decision on which Vail forfeit
ed was this; Vail was at bat and had
q man on first, next batter hits a
pop-up fly to pitcher. Base runner or
FIRST holds the base thinking fly will
be caught and batter be out. but that
he will be safe. Pitcher purposely
fails to catch the fly gets ball on
bounce and throws to second. This
puts man out at End because failure
to catch fly makes it forced run.
The batter was not out at this time.
but he thought he was, he ran to first
but thinking he was out he left the
base and went to the bench. The ball
was thrown to first and then the bat
ter was out.
Whisman was in fine form during
this game and it is probable that
Wallis withdrawal is all that saved it
from bad beating.
Vail S DenisOn 3
On Tuesday Denison played at Vail.
Whisman was in the box for the
county seat and did splendidly until
the fifth inning. The imported UNI
pire began The inning by giving 2 men
bases on balls. This discouraged
Whisman and he threw low. slow
and easy one. There was long red
beaded short stop at bat. and he
landed for hit that sent the ball
whizzing through the Chautauqua
tent at Denison. The rest of the in
ming was a massacre. Gender. Fred
rick and Dunn made CHASTITY errors.
Whisman pitched baby balls until
Caswell got mad and turned him out
to grass calling Faul in from the
right wing. Tie next inning the
boys pulled themselves together again
but the game was ignominious lost.

Apron Badly Damaged.

The thawing snow in the hills
yesterday caused the water to
raise IN the Milestone river and
during the day a large amount of
the concrete at the head of the
apron at the dam was washed
out. causing considerable dam
age. This was discovered late
last evening and j. H. Lewis and
a force of men worked all last
night hauling stone and trying
to fill up the opening. Three
cars Of rock were hauled up
from Big Stone early this morn
ng and is being taken out to
the apron. The railroad company
hope to be able to check further
damage. The water has gone
down a foot since last evening.
