But it came to pass when things

A Parable Of Politics.

William Allen White tells story in
an article in the American magazine
that is calculated to make the readers
of the story ponder. As it epitomiZes
so much of the good and most of the
bad in our municipal life, the story of
these two men, about whom the parable
is told, bears repeating:
During the early years Of this cen
fury two men living in a great city in
the southwest cpitomiZed so entirely
much of the good and most of the bad
in our municipal life that the story of
these men, in so far as the story illus
trates the parable of politics in the
great cities OF the land should be set
down here. One man was rich. He had
family. His father was a parsonage
in the state and in the nation forty
years ago. The other man came up
from the people. He was no one in par
ticular. The rich man kept out of poll
tics; he was in business. and in society.
He was a pillar of society. The poor
man went into politics. perhaps with the
idea that some day he might become a
pillar of society. He went to the com
mon council for the glory of it, To 90
he went and asked for the city boss
to send him. A city boss always helps
men who are in politics for the honor
it brings, And after the poor man had

Champion Cow is Dead.

Columbia, Mo-, April 7.-Pedro's
Estella, the champion butter Jer-
sey cow of the world is dead. She
died at her home, the Missouri agri
cultural college farm at Columbia
last night.
In twelve month5 she produced
712 pounds of butter, fully 100 lbs.
more than her nearest competitor.
Pedro's Estella was in good health
but stumbled into a ditch and was
unable to get out. When aid reach
ed her she was too far gone to re-
cover.
The experimenters at the state
farm made some interesting calcu-
lations as to what Pedro's Stella
was able to do. She produced milk
and butter to supply aver
age families of five people each.
That is she would have furnished
butter, skim milk, cream and but
ter milk for them for a year.
Ii the milk had been sold at &c
a quart the average price OF milk
at the University of Missouri, the
COW would have brought it's owner
$414.75. 1t cost only SIS to feed it
during the year. The university
statistican figured that the income
from Pedro's Estella for one year
would have kept an average stu
dent in the University of Missouri
for a like term.

Boat Line Assured.

Walter s, Dickey of Kansas City
has agreed to accept the manage
ment of the new million dollar boat
line on the Missouri as soon as that
amount has been subscribed. In
our opinion this means much not
only to Kansas City but to our
river towns AMI also to Saline. We
hari lily doubt but that with proper
management the Missouri will
surpass in Importance the glory oil
by-gone-d lays and that the river
towns will get a big boost. With
the special freight advantages they
will become strong rivals with
their more fortunate railroad ri.
walls. AS soon as the boats get
started we predict a new state oil
affairs on the Old Muddy.
