"SHOW ME-" CADETS SHOWN
University of Missouri Military
Corps See the City.
Battle with the Ancient jest AssO-
ciated with Their State and
Depart for jamestown.

Two hundred and eight-eight students
Of the University Of Missouri. comprising
the cadet corps Of that institution, took
the National Capital by assault yesterday
morning. stacked their arms in the Ma
tional Guard Armory looted the town OF
its interesting sights. and evacuated IN the
afternoon. embarking on the Norfolk for
the jamestown Exposition.
The seizure Of the city and its brief
period Of military occupation was so
quietly conducted that the majority Of
citizens were unaware Of It's occurrence.
For this the weather may be blamed, as
the visiting cadets had planned to parade
the streets with their large and excellent
band. dallying with ragtime as only a
Missouri band can handle that commodity.
As it was. the band kept their new In
struments under cover, and the cadets
scattered about the city at Will, different
groups taking IN the show places at diff
ierent times. but all under orders to re-
port at the armory at exactly 4.4j o'clock.
Il speaks well for the discipline Of the
corps that hot a man was late to his
post after an exciting days brush with

Everywhere the cadets were greeted
with that ancient jest about It being

public building guards and guides, and
the crews Of the sightseeing honk hacks
sprang the show me- wheeze at every
opportunity. The visitors took it good

every repetition Of the timeworn gaglet.
Only once was there an outbreak of
feeling on the subjeCt-when the Treas

Several officers and constructors who
were interviewed with reference 10 the

opinion at the Army and Navy Club last
night that II might have been caused by
any OF many different mishaps. Some Of
the officers are Of the opinion that the
little launch may have been disabled and
drifted gradually and helplessly out 70

tide and at the mercy OF the waves, II IS
thought that the boat may have shipped

r JOURNAL TALKS
"A TO ADVERTISERS
A Newspaper Talk
TO the Merchant

Many a merchant who has suf-
fcient confidence in his wares to
believe that he could sell more of
them if he could personally inter
view more of the people who
need them hesitates to do his
talking through the advertising
columns because it costs more
than talking across the counter.
But the newspaper "ad" reaches
more prospective customers in
one day than the merchant can
reach personally in year; it gives
him the advantage of doing all the
talking himself, and fixes his claims
permanently in the minds of his
listeners, while oral pleas leave
but feeting impression. These
privileges and powers are we'll
worth paying for-and they cost
little in comparison with the
actual cash returns. The proof
is to be found in the experience
of all successful traders.
If "a little nonsense now and
then is relished by the wisest
men," so is little jingle-especially
when it rings true like the follow
ing rymes from the Business
Mans Magazine:
When trade is slack and prospects glum,

in 1929 it was laid down that "a master

WiIIie's Dream of Papa.

One morning Willie said to his father
very seriously, Papa, had strange
dream this morning."
Papa-Indeed! What was 1t?
: 81 dreamed, papa, that / died and
went to heaven, and when St Peter
met me at the gate, instead of showing
me the way to the golden street, as
expected, he took me out into a large
field, and in the middle of the field
there was ladder reaching away up
into the sky and out Of sight. Then St,
Peter told me that heaven was at the
top and that in order to get there
must take the big piece of chalk he
gave me and slowly climb the ladder,
writing on each rung some sin 1 had
committed"
Papa got interested and, laying down
his newspaper, asked, And did you
finally reach heaven, my sonY
'No, papa, for just as l was trying
to think of something to write on the
second rung looked up and saw you
coming down."
"And what was coming down for?"
"That's what l asked you, and you
told me you were coming down for

left them in the store. He had put on

Weber gathered up the clothes and
took them to the old fire patrol house
at Seventh avenue and Wyandotte
street. He put them upon the floor
and, turning the hose on them, drench-
ed them with water. Then he went
down to the junction, where at that
time the newsboys congregated in
great numbers. He gathered a dozen
of them around him.
Boys" he said, "the police found
some clothes down on the river bank
this morning. 1t looks like boy had
come up to the fire station and look at
the clothes, Maybe you can tell me who
they belonged to-"

Sir Walter scott's Laugh.

Never perhaps did man go through
all the gradations of laughter with
such complete enjoyment and coun-
tenance so radiant. The first dawT of
a humorous thought would show itself
sometimes, as he sat silent, by an In
voluntary lengthening of the upper lip,
followed by shy, sidelong glance at
his neighbors, indescribably whimsical
and seeming to ask, from their looks,
whether the spark of drollery should
be suppressed or allowed to blaze out.
In the full tide Of mirth he did indeed
"laugh the hearts laugh" but 1t was
not boisterous and overpowering nor
did it check the course of his words.
He could go on, telling or dissenting,
while his lungs did "crow like chanti-
cleer, his syllables In the struggles
growing more emphatic, his accent
more strongly Scotch and his voice
plaintive with excessive merriment."
