Tale of a Turkey.

Mr.. Philip Snowden is quite one
of the best orators in the Labor
party. He is, moreover, blessed
with a fund of humor, and his
speeches are frequently spiced with
some excellent stories. A short
time ago, illustrating a point to the
effect that Parliament only helps
those that help themselves. Mr..
Snowden told of a man who covet-
ed a plump turkey belonging to his
neighbor. He prayed long and
earnestly. but without avail, that
his neighbours turkey might be sent
into his backyard. Then he chang
ed his prayer, and asked that he
might be sent into the garden
where the turkey was, And, curl
ously enough, says Mr.. Snowden
the prayer was granted that very
night. M. A. P.

Wanted to Pick Berries.

Springfield, Mo-, May Is. The
demand for berry pickers through
out the fields of Southern Missouri
already has begun, and it is expect
ed the picking will commence by
May 20. Nearly 10000 pickers are
being sought to handle the entire
crop. Five thousand are wanted at
Sarcoxic alone, one of the biggest
berry-growing points in the United
States. At Neosho it is estimated
nearly as many pickers will be re.
Quired, while about 1000 will be
needed at Monet, and approximate
ly, 1000 at each of the following
towns: Billings, Marionville, Au-
rora, Logan and Republic.
In addition, a large force will be
required to pack, transport and
load to the crop in the refrigerator

Rucker Scores Judge Philips.

Il charge Judge Philips with be.
ing tyrant upon the bench, and
with being insulting in the highest
degree to the lawyers there" said
Mr., Murphy.
He referred to case in which
the jury stood eleven for conviction
and one for acquittal. Mr.. Muir
ply asserted that Judge Philips
had sent for the jury, discharged
it, and instructed the clerk to make
an order disqualifying the juror
from ever serving again on a jury
in a federal court. He called upon
Representative Rucker of the Sec
Ond Missouri district to substanti-
ate his statements.
Il had not expected to testify

Rucker. However, l will say that

cation made in the resolution. If

That's the Way to Pronounce Hyo-
mel, the Money-Back Ca
tarrh Cure.

AS doubt exists in the minds of
many readers of the Democrat let
us say that the above is the proper
pronunciation of Americas most
wonderful catarrh cure. L. M.
Wood is the agent for Hyomei in
Monroe City and he will sell you an
inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei, and
full instructions for use for only 81.
And if it fails to cure acute or
chronic catarrh, asthma, bronchitis,
Group, hay fever or coughs and
colds, he will give you your money
back. The person who suffers from
catarrh after such an offer as that,
must like to shuttle, spit and
wheeze, and be generally disgust
ing.
Read what Mr.. G. F. Lowe says:
Il have used Hyomei for a case
of nasal catarrh which had bother
ed me for long time. l can say
that Hyomei killed the germs of the
disease and gave me the much
sought needed relief. From this
experience l know Hyomei to be a
reliable remedy. and give it the
praise and recommendation that it
deserves. C. F. Lowe, R. F. D. No.

Keep the Road Drains Unobstructed.

This is the time of the year for
trimming brush, hedges, ETC., along
the fence lines and roadsides. In
my travels over the state the fact
is very noticeable that many farm
ers persist in throwing these trim
mings into the side bitches of the
roads or else where they may be
washed into the bitches. This
brush washes down to the culverts
and lodges across or in the opening
to choke the culvert and thereby
obstruct the free flow of water, fore
ing it onto or across the roadbed.
The result is a vast amount of dam
age to the travelled roadway.
No man has a legal nor moral
right to obstruct a road drain. The
law is plain upon this. But it
should not be necessary to penalize
anybody for this infringement of
the law. Good roads should be the
desire of all and every man should
lend his efforts toward keeping the
roads passable, at least as far as not
to throw Instructions in the bitches.
1t is impossible to keep a firm
roadbed without drainage and the
bitches must be kept open and I'M
INSTRUCTED in order to get the
drainage.
sincerely hope that every man
will give this matter some thought
and consideration. The road offic-
ials cannot make roads without the
aid and interest of the citizenship
of the state. Certainly not if the
citizens persist in ignoring the
main feature of a good road - that
is. drainage.
1t cost money to keep up the
roads and every property holder is
paying his part, 1t requires some
of that money to repair a washout
or water soaked roadbed caused by
by an INSTRUCTED drain and with
draws just that amount from the
general improvement of the road.
Do not impede your local road
official and thereby your own in
terests by carelessly or willfully OBJ
structing the road drains.
Yours truly,

cairo to Junk Pile.

The historic merchant steamer Zafro.
which played an important part in the
Spanish-American war, is soon to lose
her entity in a junk yard, according to
a report here. The vessel is to be sold
to the Chicago Junk Company, whose
offer of $4,000 for the vessel was the
only one received IN the response to
advertisements for bids.
The Zafro is considered useless as a
ship, and will probably be broken up
for junk. She is steel, schooner
rugged vessel of 1900 tons displacement,
and was built in Aberdeen, Scotland, in
1884. She carries a British register.
When Commodore Dewey received
orders to proceed to Manila to capture
or destroy the Spanish fleet there, he
was in dire need of coal. The only fuel
obtainable was that aboard the mer-
chant steamers Zairo and Nanshan,
British vessels, engaged in traffic along
the Chinese coast.
The owners were asked by the pay
master of Dewey's feet to put price
ON their cargoes of coal. They refused
to sell the cargoes unless the ships were
included in the sale. Realizing that
the Americans were in desperate straits,
the owners placed prices on the cargoes
which was considered extortionate
As II was not time to hagpIe over
prices, both ships were included in the
sale, with their precious cargoes. The
Zafro and Nanshan were in the line of
battle in Manila bay, the former as y
supply ship and the latter as a collier.
Subsequently the Zafr0 was used as =
