We have often heard and read OF
mean officials, but Des Moines. Ia,
furnishes q specimen who is entitled
to wear the badge of meanneSs. A
WOraan who was under the necessity
Of wearing q wooden leg had been
forced to mortgage her goods and
chattels. and when it was due II was
unable to pay it. The mortgage was
f~oreclOsed and the officer who came
to take possession Of the property
forced her to place the false leg VITA
the rest and let him carry It off. We
have heard of taking the shirt off a
mans book but that doesn't approach
the DeS Moines performance.

AT HARVARD FIFTY YEARS AGO.
N. 6. shaIer Tells Us of the Life of
 Senior.

He was senior in Harvard college and had a well-deserved name for scholarship in the classics, as well as for a miscellaneous assortment Of tai ents and knowledge. He was repufed to be the best player of the game oi checkers in the country; knew the political history of the United States amazingly we'll; was learned In pugil- ism. having at his tongues end the story of all the prize-fights of recent times; withal he was the merriest lit tie man I ever seen. I we'll recall my first morning with him. when, after go- ing over the best of what 1 could and could not do, he asked me if l could box. I pleaded guilty to some knowl- edge of that ignoble art. At that time I had not learned of his interest in it, and thought that l would be lowered in his eyes by the confession. To my surprise, indeed to my horror. for l had a swordsmans contempt for the business he insisted on my having a bout with him at once.-N. $. Shalera Autobiography, in the Atlantic.

COURTESY IN THE STREET CAR,
Something of Reversal of the
 General Rule.

Do you suppose that's an effect Of the recent agitation of women s rights ?" asked the man, indicating with a nod of his head scene that was taking place in an IL" car in the homeward rush. His companion looked and saw slender handsomely gowned woman offer her seat to young man who, in the crush, was standing in front of her and was car rying an armful of large. heavy books.
 The young man looked rather em- barrassed and bravely declined with a pleasant little smile, which was all he could accomplish in lieu of rais' ing his hat with his heavily ineum bered hands.
 Well. then" said the lady com posedly, resuming her scat. let me hold the books in my lap.'
 That would certainly be kind, Il you don't mind" consented the youth relinquishing his load and when the lady reached her station, leaving hel seat to him, he thanked her for hel thoughtfuness with fully as muci gratitude as woman would hav' expressed for a similar courtesy iron man-perhaps with more apprecia tion. the experience peihs nioi rare.

market, an institution which. owing TO
memorable geographic fact, Emporia
could not be expected to rival and in
which, therefore, the natives could
meet him with no sense of inferiority.
We have already referred to White, q
visit to st. Marks s. He describes it
as looking 3like a great second hand
store filled with brass lamps and with
faded pictures of rascally looking saints
and with hideous martyrs" He soon
ch1iied, he says, and passed out again.
Now this is racy description, and de-
scr1ption of Venetian interior, but it
i does not fit st. Mark IS. ANY lover of
Venice viii recognize the Merceria from
whites account, but this character
lzatlon gives us pause. We are con-
strained to believe that some emissary
OF evil, in moment when the citizen
was overcome by heat, piIoted him
through the mazes of vendib1e junk in
one of the palaces on the Grand Canal,
telling him that he was looking on the
interior of st. Mark s. We desire to
| assure him that the real ST. Mark IS is
not so inferior to the first Methodist
Episcopal Church of Emporia as his
description would lead Venice to be-
! lieve.

when we journey thither once more.

From Emporia
to Venice
Observation-Disclosures ]


Citizen William Allen White, of EN-
porla, editor of the Emporia Gezette,
originator of Colonel Hueks and ssPig-
gy' Pennington, and appreciation of
the Honorable Thomas Collier Platt, is
travelling In Europe, partly to improve
his mind and partly to reinforce his
conviction that when one has seen EN-
poria it makes little difference whether
or not he ever sees anything else. THUS
delivers himself an editorial writer in
the st. Louis Republic, with sarcasm
and erusted envyl He has looked on
Cologne and Mainz; has passed by the
Swabian wood and crossed the beauti-
full blue Danube in Bavaria. When last
heard from he tarried among the 176
islands of Venice.
It s like old times to White, but it is
new experience for Venice. Venice
has received the praise of Howells and
James; has served as Wagner's car
avansary (3Tristan und Isolde" was
written there), and housed Robert
Browning and his song-dowered wife.
George Sand lived there with De Mus
set; and Byron, in the first part Of the
nineteenth century, found it as easein-
ating as Don Carlos did at its close, but
none of these looked at Venice judicial
ly. For, travelled as some of them un-
doubtedly were, none was familiar with
Emporia. Venice is on trial for the
first time.
Citizen White has eaten an ice at
Florian s and bought Venetian glass
and lace in the Merceria. He has even
stepped for a moment into st. Mark Is
to escape from the heat, he explains
The most of his time, however, he put
in at the fish market. He finds that
the streets and squares of Venice con.
tain not one store as large as Rora.
baugh S in Emporia And a shop con,
tanning feather fans and fat-irons
clocks and candy, is no larger than
Tibbals's jewelry store. It viii be
easily perceived by all critics, in Kan
sas and ont of it, that this is the last
/ word on commercial Venice. We are
troubled by only one fear-that the
Emporia Gazette has no Venice edi
ton, and that Rorahaugh's may con
tinue to exceed and Tibbals's to equa
the best that Venice has to offer fol
long years to come; in fact, until the
appearance of an authoritative edition
of the works of Citizen White il

courtesy that prompted the traveller II

TO the Voters of Charlton County

4O eAS VVSSAS VI SAoE4eOAA SO0Aey
By an act of the general as
sembly of the state of Missouri,
the office of county superintend-
ent of schools has been created,
abolishing that of county school
commissioner.
I am 8 candidate for the Office
of county superintendent of
schools.
Being agraduate of the Kirks-
vile state normal, holding a
state certificate for life and hav-
ing devoted to the work of su.
perintending schools several
years, I feel warranted in offer.
ing myself for position which
is in line with work with which
l am familiar.
The rural schools of our coun.
ty and state have been sadly
neglected, largely because the
teachers, otherwise we'll qualified,
have not had the assistance and
cooperation which their sis.
ter teachers have had in the city
schools under trained superin.
tendent.
This work, I believe, l am able
to do to the advantage of the
schools of Charlton county.
With less than 4 week before
the election it is impossible to see
you, but ask your support, and
assure you that, if elected, what
l possess of ability and training
in school work shall be used in
placing the schools of Charlton
county among the best in the
state.
