The Indians Reply,

a distinguished army officer tells q
story on himself which relates TO the
days when he was a young lieutenant
In the far west good many years ago.
He was ola party which had gone to
sec the Indians at Spokane Falls.
Among the redskins was Chief Moses,
who was fairly we'll educated aud smoke
capital English. The young lieu.
tenant addressed Chief Moses in the
Indian tongue, saying, "Moses, | have
often heard OF you. and | have seen
your picture and your name in the
newspapers, but | have never before
seen you" and, Offering his hand. add.
ed VI am glad TO meet YOU" Moses
scanned him from head TO foot, and
as the young man stood with out.
stretched hand the lengthening silence
and stolidity OF the chief we're becon-
ing painful, when old Moses at last
and with great deliberaton said in
English, 'YouDg man, | have never
heard OF you before and have never
seen your picture in the newspapers,
but" he added lightly, nevertheless
am glad TO see You, and accepted his
hand.-Stolen.

you MAY EARN YOUR WAY
Opportunities for seIf.iieIp at the State
University. What II Means to Earn
Ones Way.

The time has passed, II, indeed, it
ever was, when the poor hoy could not
get an education, and that, too, In the
worlds best schools. A large majority
of American university and college
students are today paying their own
way. That is true Of every educa-
tional institution. 1t is particularly
true of the state colleges of the middle
west. 1t is pre.eminently true Of our
own state university.
At the University OF Missouri more
than half the students are said to be
dependent wholly or 10 part on their
own resources. The work they do is
OF every Sort They are stenographers,
book agents, book keepers, clerks, pa
per carriers, canvassers, carpenters,
electricians, laundry agents, commits.
saries, janitors, teachers, walters, dish
washers, musicians, Librarians, re-
porters, printers, clothes.pressers,
photographers and surveyors. They
build fires. clean yards, work on the
state farm, do house-work, milk COWS,
make mechanical drawings, do chores,
do everything. Some, after several
years, obtain minor university offices,
as secretaries TO the president and
deans, as manager OF athletics, or as
university publisher
The Young Mems Christian Associa.
tion maintains an employment bureau
which solicits several thousand dollars
worth OF work each year from the peo.
pie OF the town. The university itself
spends several thousand dollars an.
nually for student labor.
The good man will have little diff.
Guilty in finding work, bu, Willingness
alone will not get him work to do. The
Job is not looking for the man. Just as
in the big world after college days are
gone, the man must find the job. There
will sometimes be disappointment and
encouragement, there will be little
time for pleasure, little time to loaf,
little time to give to the social side Of
university life. But there will be time
to study hard and to win high honors.
And In the end the man who works his
way finds always that the prize has
been worth the price.

That State Highway.

There has been much misapprehen
sion concerning the proposed state
highway to he built across the state
the impression prevailing tnat the
construction Of such highway will in
terfere with the work of road improve
ment in other localities. Such is not
the case however. The war fund has nj.
| ready been distributed to the counties,
to be used for road purposes in the dis.
cretion OF the county courts. The
100000 appropriated by the state can
only be used in accordance with the
law making the appropriation, which
provides that Clio OF mill upon as.
sessed valuation shall go TO each coun-
ty, conditioned upon the county, road
district or individuals augmenting it
by like sum.
The truth is that there is no warrant
in any law nor any available fund for
the cons tructiOn Of state high way.
The state, however, has made the SER
vices of the state engineer available TO
all localities, upon application TO that
official, Mr.. Curtis Hill, of Columbia,
Missouri.
In reference to the construction of
the proposed state highway, 1t may be
said that the plan Is to organize the
country along the proposed route or
routes under the special road district
law of 1905 and raise the necessary
funds by making an assessment upon
the land which will be benefited.
Under the proposed plan u road may be
built in any portion of the state, the
cost being spread over a period of
twenty years. 1t is estimated that a
tax of I l-2 to 10 cents an acre per year
on the land for the period named will
be adequate for the work, cost which
will not be burdensome, and will be off.
set many times by the benefit accruing
from such highway.
In this connection The Ruralist, pub.
lished at Sedalia, has this:
II an across-the state rock highway
is to be built, why not select a north
and'south route? Lay aside, if you
please, your local goggles" Take a

What OF the merits Of this route? IL
would afford connecting transportation
facilities for a vast and valuable area
OF country across which there is no
north 'and.south steam railway: Ii
would interlink North and South Mis-
souri,, make them acquainted they
are now comparative strangers because
Of lack of intertranspor.ation OF their
respective productions: it would make
possible direct connection and outlet
for an immense area OF contiguous and
adjacent territory, and, last and most
important OF all, it would place the
Missouri state fair within reach of hun.
dreds OF thousands Of our states citi-
zens who are now deprived OF the privi.
lege OF attendance by reason of the
long roundabout railroad trip now
necessary to reach Sedalia or the total
lack OF travel facilities.
This north-and south across-the
state rock highway is feasible, as le-
gally and financially possible as any
other and its results would be far more
beneficial aud rebound to The direct
benefit OF greater number of people
than an the.state route in any
other direction. True, the topograph-
ical obstacles on some portions Of it.
particularly on the south end--would
be more difficult than on certain por.
tions OF other prospective routes, but
this difference Is more than offset by
the abundance OF rock road.making

OUR MOTHER.

Round the idea of ones mother
the mind of a man clings with
fond affection. 1t is the first deep
thought stamped upon our infant
hearts when yet soft and capable
OF receiving the most profound I'M
presslons, and the after feelings
OF the world are more or less light
IN comparison. Even in our old
age we look back to that feeling
as one OF the sweetest we have
through life. Our passion and our
wIltulness may lead us far from
the object of our filial love; we
learn to pain her heart, to oppose
her wishes, to violate her COM
mands; we may become wild,
headstrong and angry at her coun-
sells and opposition; but when
death has stilled her monitory
voice, and still memory remains to
recapitulate her virtues and good
deeds, Affections. like a flower,
beaten to the ground by the past
storm, raises her head and smiles
among her tears. Round that
idea, as we have said, the mind
clings with fond affection; and
even when the early period of our
loss forces memory to be silent,
fancy takes the place of remem.
brance and twines the image Of
our dead parent with a garland of
graces and beauties and virtues
which we doubt not she possessed.
We are greasing the wheels of
life when we speak kindly to the
poor beggar in the street, or to
the blind man who is waiting for a
friendly hand to help him across
the road. We are greasing the
wheels of life when we perform
any kindly action, when we bring
a ray CT sunshine into any home,
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1907-08-15

and help to give pleasure and hope
to any of those who are sad and
distressed. How various are the
ways of greasing the wheels of
life; when we make the best of
what we have, and look forward
with pleasure and hope to the fu-
ture, then we help to make life 20
smoothly.
Heaven gave every man time
for some useful purpose, and
persons life must have been sadly
spent if there are no green spots
in the wilderness OF the past, to
which he can turn back with con-
ISOLATION and pleasure. How many
live in the world as useless as il
they had never passed through
life, as a mere ciper, and leave the
world without performing a single
act Of kindness to fellow creature,
or single trace by which their
memories may be perpetuated to
posterity, either for their useful
ness, their virtue or their charities.

rANEY COUNTY REPUBLICAN
Taney County
BY W. H. AND R. b. PRICE.

TANEY Is the fourth county from the west
line OF the state, in the extreme southern
tier, and so bordering on Arkansas and en-,
joying to Its fullness the wonderful climate
Of the SSunny Side" OF the Ozarks, where the
temperature rarely touches zero 10 winter and the
nights in summer are always cool enough to make
sleep delight.
The county contains $50 square miles, lisDoO
acres, OF which about 5000 acres are under i'm.
proyement. The soil varies from the rich alluviai
bottoms to the strong limestone soils Of the ridg'
es, producing successfully wheat, on which the
county was awarded the silver medal at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition, corn second TO none,
"a stalk on display In this office measuring seven
teen feet four Inches in length) potatoes, cotton,
melons, tame grasses, berries, fruits, vegetables,
In fact everything except tropical products fears
aud peaches do especially well,
The surface is rugged and picturesque covered
with forests and traversed by streams OF spark
ling clearness, among them the beautiful White
river famed for its scenery and ITS hnny tribes
including the gamey black bass aud jack salmon
while the wooded eXpanses abound In small game
OF various kinds, including fox, raccoon, opossom
squirrel, quail and turkey, affording abundant
recreation with rod and gun.
The population OF the county by the last census
was 10,lJ7, only two Of whom were colored and
AL but ~ American born. Taxes are not heavy.
Wood for fuel is plentiful aud remarkably cheap,
selling in Forsyth for 81 wagon-load with side
boards. Church and school facilities are fair and
increasing, many OF the schools manilesting such
spirit OF up-to-date- as TO provide libraries
for the use OF pupils. Improved farms are valued
at Sl0 to SO an acre, while unimproved lands can
be- had at IL % to ~. There are still about 500
acres OF government lands, subject to homestead
or cash entry. The county Is finely watered, the
White river alone winding IN and out for about
hundred miles within its borders.
There is considerable timber Of commercial val.
ue, including hickory, whiteoak, walnut, pine and
cedar, and vast mineral wealth, as indicated by
the little prospecting that has been done. Our
minerals include marble, hydraulic lime, mangan-
ese, copper, lead and zinc IN their multitudinous
FORMS silver and gold, recent prospecting showing
the presence of both in paying quantities, all Of
which will afford wealth.making opportunities to
men Of means, judgment and energy.

so easily acquire home and make living, and
