Walmsley the other day, until mad
tour Of the rural districts. cut-nd
was not I, but I Aw II done into a quaN
last summer and upon diss'cti1g the oird\
l discovered fifty different kinds OF bugs
and insects. Just think Of it. These
poor little birds are working overtime for
the farmers, killing insects thai would
put alfalfa on the bum and at the same
time the farmers didn't know what a
good thing they had and were going
around snd popping then, over. NOW
they know the true value Of the quail ana
you couldn't hire one OF them to assa,4''
mate them"
As usual the anti.Sunfay base ball DIE
h here. In fact, il is here IL severa'
forms and stages. One member henH'e'
that anyone arrested for playing base
ball on the sabbath should be subject I"
Two years in the penitertiary, while otf'
ers are willing to let them of with 4
measly $50 fine. The latter is very reast
enable and certainly sensible. Take. for
instance, in Kansas City. On sundays
t1.ere would be eighteen players and two
umpires. A fine OF $50 or each player
and the two umpire wc'&d net the city
5000 a week and that woul 80 a long
way toward building ups road fund.
But these bills are ali III the house, and
Just wait until they Ugh, in The senate.

They pay no attention 10 the scale of
weights, especially weight for age" here
in Jefferson City when i, comes to pass
my around the pie--no more than does
pay train 10 a." rranp. According to the
r les of all other games Abner. ICY" and
~Biil" of the doorkecpcr's force IN tia
senate should have Il great pnl! with sHe
~haniicapper, but they get the worst Of it.
Their full, entire and complete salary is
two per diem and they really have to
work a few minute every day.
But take the clc,kslirs. Little Ryan
Spradley, weight forty-two, who Is said
to be II years old and looks lik,. a lid c6
6, separates the State OF Missouri from
$3.50 per day. -Four Of him won't weigh
as muc. as one doorkeeper. his Office is
clerk Of n committee of which his father
is chairman. Little Ryan has all Of tnr
publications necessary.
Tie pages add much to the general un-
happiness here. hey, as a rule, are al
SO sons Of favored fathers, and weight
don't count. They are nice little fellows.
but they are awfullv small. The day tn.
senate convened, when the doorkcepers
announced that the governor had a con,-
municati0n for the senate--it was his
nessage--it took two Of these one fifty
a day hirelings to carry the document to
the reading clerk.
All clrrkships and other positions in
the house and nate are very soft. In
fact the hardest part cf the Job is to So.
cure the position and report every two
weeks ard flirt with the warrant clerk.
A majority of the easy place, are giSen
out in the seuate. There is a calendar
clerk who has the hard task Of pulling
the daily sheet from the calendar every
morning. In the house the jobs are not
SO plentiful, but each Democratic nrcn :
Der has one or more under lis control.
One thrifty member has his wife for his
C ERIK and his SOL is a page. With these
additions to his baul roll he can take on
rabbit three times a day and still have
enough left for his laundry.
It's a great game down here and the
wo K is easy-if you have a few jobs
