Dr.. Bucks Ninety first Birthday.

DR.. Henry Buck passed the 91s,
mile stone on his journey of life last
Friday, Feby. 9th, 1907. A number
of his friends gathered at his resi-
dence in the evening and held very
enjoyable song and praise service.
Those present were, his daughter,
Mrs. W. N. ellison and children, his
son, F.. X. Buck, wife and children,
Rev. W. S. Emory and wife, Miss
Sallie Martin, William Gibbs, e. H.
Mason, Rev. {. J. Poison, Mr.. and
Mrs. Briggs, Mr.. Carpenter, John
Salmon, w. ". Moore, and Alonzo
Thrailkill, Of Lebanon, Mo. DR..
Buck is probably the oldest man now
living in Versailles. He moved from
New Salem, Ohio, in 1874, locating
on a farm on the Gravois. He fol-
lowed his profession until 1870. In
1889 he moved to Versailles, and has
made this city his home since. DR..
Buck is a member of the n. f..
Church, South, and has full faith in
the promises made to those who be-
lieve, and is patiently awaiting the
summons that will call him home, but
we hope he may be spared to meet
with his friends in a number more OF
such birthday greetings.

there was the bad villain, who wins the
pretty little country girls confidence aud
betrays her, the halfwitted country hoy
who ma es things lively In very com.

saves the day with his heroic manly
deeds. Even with these most common

Grandmama will accompany you, and you must be very good and obey her In everything. And, above all things, don't outwalk dear grandmama. She Is too old to keep pace with your sturdy little legs.'
 All right, mama," said Toddles, lift ing up his rosebud mouth to be kissed. .'Ill be tareful to not walk too fas' for gramma, an I'll do jus whatever she tells me to-
 Then down the steps leading to the pavement went little Toddles Brown, his chubby hand in the slender, aged hand of his grandmother who was leading him.
 Toward the beautiful park, full of grassy plots and tall, green trees, they went, Toddles asking questions r5out everything in sight and grandmama an swering them untiringly. They were firm friends, these two, little Toddles and grandmama.
 After entering the park grandmama sought a shady seat near the childrens romping ground, and turning Toddes loose bade him to run and jump and roll about in the soft grass.
 Soon Toddles became acquainted with a little boy a bit older than himself Their introduction came about in this way: Toddles lost his hat while running

 Grandmama, always indulgent to her little Toddles, led the way to the Zoo, which was some distance from the park playground.

Artie and Bessie were brother and sis ter. They were eight and six years old, respectively and lived in the depths of great city where smoke and fogs and rain often obscured the sky for weeks to- gether, and where the deafening street noises never ceased day nor night. Clangl clang! clang! went the street-car bells on both the surface and elevated lines; while the nerye-racking rumble of the car wheels kept up a constant roll. And in the shadow of the great elevated tracks went thousands of heavy-wheeled vehicles of numerous sizes and kinds, from auto mobiles to carts. Great draft horses drew some of the heavier wagons. while poor, half-starved and half-dead old horses dragged themselves along In the harness of lighter vehicles, such as carts and cabs. And all day long little Artie and Bessie played by one of the two dingy windows of their home, a single room In q tene- ment-house that faced the elevated road. By the other window worked their moth er sitting at her sewing machine from dawn till far into the night, doing what was called factory piecework." She be- longed to that army of wage-slayes known as "sweatshop workers"
 And as Artie and Bessie played In that dingy room by one of the windows, talk ing in very loud voices that they might
