Jefferson's Last DAYS Active.

Jefferson was a very busy man for
he seventeen years which elapsed be-
ween his retirement from the eXecu-
i've Office and his death, but he held
10 other public post. All over the
world there were scientists, statesmen
ind diplomats who were in correspond
snce with him. and in his own coun-
.ry he was inundated with letters
rom all sorts and conditions of men
asking all kinds of questions and po-
itical favors. In general, however, he
'efused his political influence to all
hose seeking II, although he made
some exceptions in this rule. Writing
% John Adams in 1922, four years be-
ore his death, jefferson declared he
was under the persecution of letters,
# which every mail brings me fresh
load" Sometimes they were from
friends, but they were much oftener
rom persons entirely unknown to him,
and civility, he said, required him tC
answer all of them, although some OF
them required elaborate research. He
complained that the drudgery of writ
ing often deprived him of all chance
to read single page of a book in a
week. Then he asks Adams: "Is this
life? At best it Is but the life Of 0
mill horse, who sees no end to his cir
lie but in death. To such life that
of a cabbage is paradise" And JEFF
ferson WIS seventy-nine years of agt
at that time. He was compelled to dc
all his letter writing himself, and
there were no typewrters to Tighten
his labor.--St. Louis Globe Democrat

Elshermen cauaht sheep.

When sheep were introduced into
Cornwall, England, flock OF them
ran into the sea and were fioated by
their wool. Same fishermen saw
them, and, thinking them to be a
new species of FISH, made haste to
try, TO catch them with hooks and
nets. Next morning they brought
home catch whose value was greater
than any load their boats had even
carried.

THEFTs OF THE sEAouLLs.
Appropriating Fishermen's Catches
Maraudlng Expeditions on Land.

The gull is in paradise in Cornish
fishing villages, and takes possession
OF the boats and quays and roofs of
houses, and pays great attention to all
that is going on with keen eye TO
the main chance of appropriating
something tasty when no one is look
ing. says the London Daily Mail. Only
turn your head a moment and your
fish Is gone, the bird flying with 1t in
its powerful bill across the harbor. A
greater thief does not live and escape
punishment--it has conscientious OBJ
jections to the eighth commandment,
and whatever trusts to its honor will
be deceived.
There is "a soft place in our deep sea
fishers hearts for the bird which fol-
lows them In and out all the year
round, and shows them In seasons the
most likely places to cast their nets.
The fisherman keeps his eye lifting as
he sails. and notes where the gulls
fly or swoop down and strike at some
thing in the water invisible to human
sight at a distance.
Often this is the only guide they
have for shooting their nets; so they
are friendly with the birds and love
them in fashion, and do not be-
grudge them share of the spoil.
Then, when the nets are all aboard,
the seagull fies homeward before the
boats, announcing with shrill cries
the return of the men TO the women,
who awake and make ready.
Fishermen say that gulls sometimes
attach themselves to certain boats and
bring them luck" following them at
sea and resting always on the same
spars when in harbor. The men feed
them casually with broken fish and
oftal as they strut between their legs
ashore, and they are so tame that
those who know them may catch
them by the wings. During the cen
turtles, in fair weather and in foul,
good seasons and bad, our fishers and

has grown up a feeling of comrade-
| ship and a superstition for the silver

But on land this beautiful bird

HADlFY AND STANDARD on.

Hadley's statement that the
war on Standard OIL has made
the price on this necessity cheap
er is true. The Democratic
press and their speakers here
have been stating that IL oil is
cheaper nobody notices il.
We interviewed q prominent
grocer here yesterday, one who
has been in business a number of
years, and he states that oil is
now cheaper than he ever knew
it since he has been in business.
Two years ago the regular
commercial oil retailed at Is cts.
per gallon, or 3 gallons for So cts.
To-day the same oil retails for 10
cts per gallon or 5 gallons for 45
cents.
If you are not satisfied as to
this, go and ask your grocer.
With a reduction Of five cents per
gallon, taking into consideration
TIE immense amount of oil used
in Missouri, it win be seen that
there has been a saving Of many
thousands of dollars to the pub
lie.
Hadley's statment in regards
TO the saving on account Of two
cent rail road fare is just as trnc.
In other states the two cent law
has been beaten. while in Mis-.
souri, the cases have been drop
ped by the railroads, and every
citizen knows that the railroads
do not drop cases where they
have the slightest chance to win.
Hadley, as attorney general
HAS brought results, and a fur
thur investigation of the above
stated facts will show you.
Hadley IS expenses in prosecut-
ing the big corporations have
been large but he has saved the
people of Missouri enough mon
ey to pay the salaries of all the
state officers.
When q democrat denies that
oil is cheaper than ever just take
him to your grocer and see. OF
course the local dealers in some
towns may be holding the old
standard, but in Rich Hill oil is
; cents per gallon cheaper.

London, June 23.-Beautiful and his
toric Chapel Royal, in st. James Pal
ace, before whose sanctuary Victoria
was welded to Prince Albert and
which ever since has been held sacred
to royal nuptials, was today the scene
of the marriage of Miss Jean Reid,
daughter of the American Ambassador,
and John Hubert Ward. King Ed
ward witnessed the ceremony and was
the first to extend his fluctuations to
the happy groom and the blushing
bride. Nearly all of the members of
the British royal family and the
cream of the London nobility and diplo-
matte corps, as select an assemblage
as ever gathered at the marriage OF
an American girl, aided by their pres
ence in making this the most note
worthy matrimonial alliance that the
English metropolis has known in years
Following the ceremony, there was a
great reception at Dorchester House

REGAL WEDDING OF note
in HISTORIC Chapel TODAY

bassador to Great Britain and editor
and owner of the New York Tribune
All London society was present at the
reception, and the brilliant uniforms
of the ambassadors and ministers of
all nations rendered the scene highly
spectacular one.
Aside from his desire to do honor to
the daughter of the American ambassa-
dor, King Edward contributed the
prestige Of his presence and the sol
emnity of the Chapel Royal to the
wedding through sincere respect for
the groom. who is his equerry-in-
waiting. The Hon. John Hubert Ward
is the first member of His Majesty's
household to take bride since the
accession of Edward, and this also
added to the notability of the occasion.
He is brother of the Earl of Dudley,
the recently appointed governor-gen-
eral of Australia. The wedding took
place earlier than expected in order
that Lord and Lady Dudley, who will
leave shortly for Australia, might be
present.
