Gov. Joseph Folk of Missouri will lee

Simpson auditorium, and it seems safe

In his address Governor Folk will

where he has had wide experience and
acquired distinction. Beginning his ca
reer in politics as circuit attorney of
st. Louis. where he conducted many
bribery cases, he was elected governor
of Missouri on the Democratic ticket in
1900 and served a second term. He was
elected by a greater majority than had
ever been secured by a gubernatorial
nominee in the state.
Among the forward movements with

bannened So far as l am able to re-
call the details.
First, let me say my friend was
right. I did go to sleep very soon after
my retirement. Then friend with MS
head under his arm came along and
asked me If | wanted to buy his feet.
I was negotiating with him when the
dragon on which I was riding slipped
out of his skin and left me floating In
midair. While I was considering now
I should get down, a bull with two
heads peered over the edge of the wall
and said he would haul me up II /
would first climb up and rig MINDLESS
for him. So as / was sliding down
the mountainside the brakeman came
in. and I asked him when the train
would reach my station.
1--WE passed our station -FOUR hundred
years ago." he said, calmly folding the
train up and slipping it into his vest
pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded
into the ring and pulled the center
pole out of the ground, lifting the tent
and all the people in 1t up, up, while
I stood on the earth below watching
