Z VIENNA, July 4.-Up to a few days
tRgo Emperor Francis Joseph claimed
fIhe distinction Of being the only reign
dng monarch. with the exception OF the
Pope, who wore a silver watch
+ He had a gold watch, an old-timer,
9that had TO be wound up with a key,
ibut it got so feeble that the Emperor
abandoned it, and for the last twelve
months or so constantly wore the watch
THAT formerly accompanied him only on
HEls hunting trips. This was a massive
kS:-ver affair and so heavy that II in
scommOded the imperial owner OCCASION
ALLY. Yet he could not be persuaded TO
tbuy a modern watch, saying the old
zones must do, even II they cost a lot
pof money in repairs
: Finally the Archduchess Frederick
persuaded the Emperor to accept a new
swatch on the plea that it would
tamuse the children" For the time
piece she offered his majesty has all the
--latest improvements. It sounds the
thours, halves and quarters OF hours and,
kbesides, plays popular melodies when i
fbutton Is pressed.
The Emperor tried it on the chill

nieces, and they were highly amused.

Orison Swett Warden in Success Maga-
 zine.
 Some people are thrown off their bal ance the moment anything goes wrong with them. They do not seem to have the ability to overcome impediments and to dc their work in spite of annoyances.
 Anybody can work when everything goes smoothly when there is nothing to trouble him; but a man must be made of the right kind of stuff who can rise above the things which annoy, harass and handicap the weak, and do his work in spite of them. Indeed this is the test Of greatness.
 As a matter of fact, the greatest achievements in all time have been ac- complished by men and women who have been handicapped, annoyed, perse- cuted. misunderstood, criticised. But they have been great enough to rise above all these things and to do their work in spite of them.
 Few people are large enough to rise above their aches and pains and disap- pointments. The majority are always talking about them projecting their dark shadows into your atmosphere cutting off your sunshine with their clouds. Their ailments and their hard luck and mis- fortunes seem to be the biggest things about them. You never meet them but they thrust them into your presence.
 The man who is not big enough to rise above the things that trouble him, who cannot overtop his aches and pains, an- noyances and disappointments, so that they are of little consequence in com- parison with his great life aim, will never amount to much.
 There is an unwritten law for peo- pie who are thoroughbred-the real gen. tleman and the real lady-which compels them to keep their troubles, their ail- mets their sorrows. their worries, their losses, to themselves. There is a fine discipline in it. It mellows the char acter and sweetens the life. But when these things are not borne heroically, they mar the character and leave their ugly traces in the face; their hideous forms appear in the manner and dis- figure the whole life.
 Learn to consume your own smoke. If you have misfortunes, pains, diseases, losses, keep them to yourself. Bury them. Those who know you have them will love you and admire you infinitely more for this suppression. A stout heart and persistent cheerfulness will be more than a match for all your troubles.

Whitecotton at SedaIia.

The Anti.Saloou League in
state convention at Sedalia, is
trying to concentrate on either
Whitecotton, Evans or Wallace
for governor. A dispatch in
Wednesdays Republic says:
Mr.. Whitecotton made a sen
sational speech to the conven-
ton, in which he charged that
the public utilities bill was de.
feated by the last General AS
sembly through corruption, and
that the next State Senate
would throttle all antl-liquor
legislation, because it was too
late to prevent the election of
the men of both parties, enough
of whom had been agreed upon
by the lobby to control the sit
uation. He wound up by say
ing that every lobbyist he has
known in his IL years as a mem.
Der OF the legislature, except
two, was pledged to one candi-
date for governor.
Name him. shouted one of
the delegates.
Just walk around the streets
and ask and you will learn" he
answered Paris Appeal.
The above is on par with the
insult to all Democrats of Mis-
souri,, when he left his chair
as speaker of the house shak-
ing his fist and saying: Hemp
ought to be used on this floor.
If he knew these things, then
as a good citizen he should
prove them and punish the
guilty. If be knows those
things to be true and makes
no effort to- bring the guilty to
justice, then as a lawyer he
knows himself to be equally
guilty.

1t is better than going to a
circus to watch the gyrations
of the Republican newspapers
and politicians in "poor old
Missouri" They are telling the
people how they are going to
carry the state next November,
and Senator Warner has been
telling in congress that Mis-.
souri, was, politically, "debata.
BILE ground" In the face of all
this, Chairman Dickey, of the
Republican state committee, is
advertising in the Kansas City
newspapers for two young Re
publican lawyers to run for
prosecuting attorney in Saline
and Shelby counties. In order
to help Mr.. Dickey out OF such
a ludicrous position, we want to
advise him that they have quit
making Republican lawyers In
Missouri" The stock has de-
preciated to such an extent
that there is not much left but
the "niggers" in Kansas City.
All young lawyers in Missouri
are Democrats.-Milan Stand.

Bryan and Mystery OF Tod.

Here is mys. cry, according
to Mr.. Bryan. He says: Il
am not so much of a farmer as
some people claim, but 1 have
observed the watermelon seed

from the ground and through
itself 200, 900, times Its weight
and when you can tell me how
it takes this material aud out
of its color forms an outside
surface beyond the imitation OF
art. and then forms in 1t white
rind and within that again a
side of red heart, thickly in.
laid with black seeds, each one
of which in turn is capable of
drawing through itself 200, 900
times its weight-when you can
explain to me the mystery of
watermelon, you can ask me to
explain the mystery of God. -

Missouri to nominate Colonel Dave Ball for Governor.
Certainly. The Star does not want Cowherd to head

because Cowherd took active part in electng Ctten

RED LETTER DAY.

July 4-Ind ependance Day.
Birthday of Mrs Mary Fl.
Hunt.
One of the important subjects
considered by the great couven-
ton of the American Medical
Association which met in Chi.
cago the first week In June was
the creation of a federal health
department or division The
duties of such a department,
would inc u lie the control of
epidemics. and the fight against
tuberculosis
Another subject of discussion
which is OF especial interest to
white rioboners was the status
proprietary medicines and nos
trurS.
Repeated commendation was
expressed tor the work of scien-
titi temperance instruction in
the schools. inaugurated and
supported by the W. G T. U.
Advanced ground was taken
on the matters OF drug prescrip-
tion the eliminate of the liq-
uor truths, and the civic duty of
the physician.
DR.. G H Hughes of St Louis
said in part, the alcohol is no
longer question of sentiment,
it is a question of science, and
science has shown US that al.
cohol is I poison. We have
come back to the old truth that
has come down to US, that
wine is a mocker", that alco.
hol isuuot safe as beverage.
He said physicians must be
tne enllgnteners OF the people,
must be the exemplars.
DR.. ]. Fl. Kellog, of Battle
Greek. Michigan, said if medica
men would take hold OF this
question earnestly we would
abolish the use of alcohol from
our practice.
Much was said which me
with great applause from whit,
ribboners.
Thus the subject of medica
temperance was brought to thu
attention of a great body o
physicians throughout tn
country.
