Mr. Speaker:-Being new member
Of this house, | deem IL Il privilege to
be accorded first place as speaker on the
program OF today's memorial exercises.
1t is but mete that we should occa-
sionally lay aside the business cares OF
life in order that opportunity may be
given for tributes OF respect to the mem
cries OF those useful and worthy mem
bers OF society who have been taken
from among US. 1t has never before been

Luch a splendid body of Missouri's intel.
ligent representatives The occasion is
one of solemniiy, and there is no one in
this house who regrets more than myself
that my friend and predecessor, John NJ.
DePuy, was not spared to serve out his
full term us . member of this splendid
body.
For almost two full sessions many Of
you were associated with him as men,
bers upon the floor of this house, and |
am confident that those of you who knew
him most loved him best, In his death
our county lost not only a representa-
tive in this house, but most splendid
citizen. ..
Mr.. Speaker, as his successor In this
house, and as the representative OF the
people of my county, wish, on this oc
casion, to extend to the honored govern
or of our state, the members Of the sen.
ale, the members of this house and the
citizens OF Jefferson City our most sin.
cere thanks for the great respect you
have shown our deceased member; and
on behalf OF his bereaved family and
friends, | wish to assure you, and each
of you, that your kindly acts and loving
tokens OF respect were appreciated in
the very highest degree.
Mr.. Speaker, Hon John NJ. DePuy
was born in Ulster county, New York,
sixty.cight years ago. He descended
from the French Hugenots on his faith
er's side and from the Scotch on his
mothers side. Both his grandfathers
served in the revolutionary war.
His father served as soldier in the
war OF 1872. He and four Of his broth
ers served as union soldiers during the
entire period OF the war of the rebellion.
Before Mr.. DePuy came to Missouri, he
lived for time in Oklahoma, where he
was engaged in the mercantile business.
He came to Missouri in 1898, and settled

duty, away from his family, relatives
and his home; but he did not die away
from friends, for every member Of this
house, and every citizen of this state,
WHO knew aud was acquainted with
John NJ. DePuy, was his friend, and was
sorely grieved on account OF his demise.
They felt that an honest, worthy and
useful member of the 44th general as
sembly was gone,
This house convened and passed ap-
propriate resolutions of respect. In
charge Of committee of two members
of the senate and three members OF the
house, appointed by the speaker Of this
house, you sent the remains home to his
family in bier covered with the most
beautiful flowers, and the remains Of
that good old man now sleep amongst
the flowers and green cedar trees in the
little graveyard on the hill near his
home in southwest Missouri, Peace to
his ashes, and may the God of heaven
bless aud forever keep green the mem-
ory OF that good old man.

which he purchased, adjoining the IA

in the southern part of Taney county
near the Arkansas state line. Mr.. De.
Puy aud his family continued to reside
upon this same farm until his death In
this city, which occurred on the Bird day
OF March, 1907.
In 1904 the people OF our county elect
ed Mr.. DePuy as member Of the 43rd
general assembly Of Missouri, where he
served during the entire session, to the
benefit and satisfaction Of his constitu-
ents.
AS an endorsement OF his eminent
services and ability as a legislator, our
people again in the election of 1906 re-
elected him. and he served the first go
days as member of the 44th general
assembly. John M. DePuy was plain
man, and he loved plain things. To
know him, and TO appreciate his rugged
honesty, goodness and worth, 1t was
necessary TO be associated with him in
the everyday walks Of life. Although
an ardent Republican, there was no
spark OF partisan bitterness in his nit
ture, and many of his most intimate
personal friends were among his polit-
ical adversaries. AS a legislator, he
was broad minded and conscientious.
As citizen he was public spirited and
patriotic. AS a friend he was sincere,
loyal and true.
Mr.. Speaker. II has been great
source OF cheer and satisfaction 10 his
bereaycd family and friends TO noto the
high esteem in which his memory ia
held at the state capital, where he
served the people OF his county so long

it is better to hold ourselves at
what we are honestly worth. The
world is full Of people who never
know or learn anything, because
they think they know enough to

thousands believe themselves wise

thousands believe themselves

thinly plated, and the copper

Tho Talkfast Cure.

A doctor whose large practice has
made an assistant necessary was told
that the man he selected was hardly
competent.
"He's good enough for what want
OF him" said the doctor. II don't ex-
pect him to prescribe for my patients,
but TO listen TO their gossip. Ia many
cases the privilege Of talking over his
troubles with the doctor constitutes
the biggest part Of a patients cure. ]

Mans duty is tc God, and he

generous. To give wisely is an

if you are knocked off, grab for the

Don't be grumbler. Some
people contrive to get hold OF the
prickly side Of everything; to run
up against the sharp corners, and
find out all the disagreeable things.
Half the strength spent in growl-
ing would often set things right.
You may as well make up your
mind, to begin with, that no one
ever found the world as he would
like it; but you are to take your
share of the troubles, and bear
them bravely. You will be very
sure to have troubles laid upon
you that belong to other people,
unless you are shirh yourself,
but don't grumble. If the work
needs doing, and you can do it,
never mind about the other per-
son who ought to have done it and
didn't. Those workers who fill
up the gaps, and smooth away the
rough spots, and finish up the job
others leave undone, they are the
true peacemakers, and worth a
whole lot of growlers.

Young men, the first question
your employers ask themselves
when business becomes slack and
it is thought necessary to econo-
mize in the matter Of salaries is,
"Who can best be spared?" The
barnacles, the shirks; the make
shifts, somebody's proteges, some
body's nephews, and especially
somebody's good -for-nothing,
young men, please remember that
these are not the ones who are
called for when responsible posi-
tions are to be filled. Would you
like to guage your own future for
a position Of prominence Would
you like to know the probabilities
Of your getting such position?
Inquire within! What are you do
ing to make yourself valuable in
the position you now occupyp If
you are doing with your might
what your hands find to do, the
the chances are two to one that
you will soon become so valuable
in that position that you cannot
be spared from it, and then, singu-
lar to relate, will be the very time
wien you will be sought out for
promotion for a better place.

THE PERFECT LIKENESS.
A Snuffbox, q Portrait and a Sur.
prised Monarch.

A Snuffbox, 6, Portrait and a Sur
prised Monarch.
1t is related Of Frederick H.. king Of
Prussia, that be one day made pres
ent of q golden snuffbox to one Of his
counts. When the latter opened the
lid he found the picture Of an ass
painted upon the underside Of it.
Though be scarcely relished the kings
joke, he said nothing at the time. but
as soon as he quilted the kings pres
ence he sent one Of his Wallets with the
snuffbox to the city and gave him in
structions that the picture Of the ass
was to be painted out and a portrait
of the king put in its place.
4 few days later distinguished
company dined with the king The
count was one Of the guests. and after
q time he produced his snuHbox and.
pretended to examine 1t with the air
of q man who was proud to have re-
ceived such a gift from the king. The
latter, wishing to enjoy little amuse-
ment at the counts expense, mention
ed to the Duchess Of Brunswick that
he had made a present Of the box to
the count on the preceding day. She
desired to inspect it, and when the
box was handed to her she opened
the lid and, looking inside, cried in
raptures: Perfect! The likeness is
charming! It is one Of the best por-
traits Of you that have ever seenr'
She handed the box to the person
next to her, who was equally charmed
With the likeness. From one to anoth-
er the box was passed, and all testi-
fed to the excellent resemblance which
the picture bore to the king. The king,
thinking that the ass head was still
to be seen on the snufbox, felt exceed
ingly embarrassed and scarcely knew
what to make Of the incident, but at
last the snufbox, having made the
tour Of the table, came to his hands,
and the first glance showed him how
e1eTerly the count had anticipated his
little joke and turned it against him.
