The story is told of young Oregon
girl, a favorite in society, but who was
poor and had to take care not to get
her evening gowns soiled, as her num-

At a dance not long ago great big,
red-faced, perspiring man came in and
asked her to dance. He wore no gloves.
She looked at the well-meaning but
moist hands despairingly and thought
of the immaculate back of her waist
She hesitated bit ands then said,
with winning smile:
"Of course | will dance with you,

The man looked at her blankly a

PEOPLES PARTY CAN FILE
Secretary Swanger ReconsIders His
Decision of Saturday

Jefferson City, Mo-, June T.
The peoples party will have a
State ticket in the field in the
August primary, the ruling made
by Secretary OF State Swanger,
denying it's right to file nomina-
tions, which was made Saturday
having been reconsidered after the
receipt of letter which came to
hand today from j. M. Davis, a
Chillicothe attorney, who pointed
out the erroneous construction
which had been placed upon the
law-or rather that the ruling
shutting the ticket out was based
upon one provision of the law,
while there were others under
which it should be admitted. Mr..
Swanger's ruling was based upon
the fact that the party had not
polled one percent of the vote cast
at the last election. Mr.. Davis
contended that as the peoples
party had presidential electoral
ticket in the field it can not be re-
quired to comply with other pro-
visions which would otherwise
make it ineligible.

THE OLD STAGE DRIVER
II ampton Balls Early Expert
enCe. He Hauled Benton
He Fioged a Passenger.
BY n. c. Turner.


Montgomery boasts of having
the oldest Missouri stage driver
yet alive. His name is Hampton
Ball relati We of the distinguished
candidate for governor. He drove
a stage coach over the Boonslick
Road reaching from st. Louis to
Lexington, Mo-, more than fifty
Sc ven years ago. His immediate
route being from Jones'sburg, now
j onesburg, to old Danville, the
county seat of this county.
He remembers when there were
no such towns as Montgomery,
Wellsville, and Jonesburg, having
cut wheat over sites where some of
these towns now stand and has
seen plenty OF deer, wolves and
tur keys in these parts.
He recalls with pleasure, the
fact that he had as one of his pas
sengers, the great and lamented
senator, Thomas H. Benton, and
describes him as a man of about
five and one-half feet in height,
weighing about 17O pounds, wore
side burns. He had a very erect
and pompus appearance as if he
owned the state as he did seat in
the United States Senate.
THE OLD STAGE DRIVER
FLOGS A PASSENGER
Mr.. Ball not only drove "a stage
i n his early life, but has the dis
tinction of "Holding up" one, not
for the purpose of robbery but to
give passenger what he termed a
meritorious Gogging for an affront
and injury to his afflicted brother.
The affront happened when Mr..
Ball was a small lad and he
promised when he became a man
he would avenge the wrong. He
knew that the stage would pass
certain place and would have in it
the passenger whom he had
promised in youth that he would
fog. Ball got him a hickory
withe and going out in front of
the stage, ordered it to stop. He
then commanded the passenger to
walk out to the side of the road
where he administered the flogg-
ing, put him back into the coach
and allowed the passengers to
continue their trip.
Mr.. Ball is very honorable and
scrupulous gentlemen and while
he thought he was doing the right
thing at that time, he does not re-
fer to it with any degree of pride
at present.
Mr.. Ball recalls the early days
in Missouri and the great develop
ment of the country, saying the
the people would be happier if
they had never seen or heard tell
of railroads. He Thinks the early
and simple life of the pioneer was
far better than the strenuous times
of to-day.
Mr.. Ball was born in Virginia in
the year 1880. He came to Mis-
souri, when he was four years of
age, lived in, st. Louis county
seven years and has been living
in Montgomery County every
since excepting about one and a
half years when he was in Illinois.

Cotton Left at Gin by Farm

Lexington, n. e., special in

afternoon broke out in pile Of
cotton on a vacant lot adjoining
the gin of j. W. Earnhart, nine
bales having been damaged be-
fore it was eXtinguished. There
were something over sixty bales
in the pile.
The fire occurred between /
and 2 O'Clock and it is supposed
to have started from the careless
tossing OF a cigar or cigarette
stub among the bales. 1t was
cotton that had been left at the
gin by farmers who did not want
to cell at the present low prices,
and there was no insurance on
it. One OF the worst damaged
bales belonged to a poor farmer
who lives a short distance from
Lexington, and it was the only
cotton he raised.
