Compliments.

Miss Belle johnson has just re
turned from Columbia where she
and Miss Julia McClintic attended
the Annual Missouri Convention Of
Photographers.
AS usual she has brought back
honOrs galore, having won a medal
in every class she entered, and the
diploma given in the rating class
The seven new medals four first
and three second, when added to
the eighteen already in her care,
Gone from Paris France) and the
Salon HonOrS conferred by the Ma
tlonal Association, make such a
showing as to be a credit to a much
larger city than Monroe.
Miss johnson was appointed one
of the Missouri delegates to the Ma
tional Convention which meets in
Rochester, N. Y, next month, and
where she will not only make a
complimentary display, but also
furnish by request a few prints for
the exhibits of prominent Dry Plate
and Paper Companies.
To show how Miss Johnson's
fame is growing, the Indiana Con-
ventiOn has written for an exhibit
and she recently furnished one for
Illinois at the request of the Presi-
dent of the Association.
Nor does she confne her work to
this locality, but does quite a little
business with her commercial mega
tives.
That we should be proud of her
and her work is evident from the
above, but as still greater proof
let me quote from man in the
profession who said: Ask any pho
tographer from Maine to California
the name of the photographer at
Monroe City, Mo-, and he can tell
you. ~

History For the U. D. C's., Confeder-
ates and Others.

The drip, drip, dripping of water
will wear a stone away.
The constant and persistent ham,
mering of the Monroe City Demo-
crat at the question? Who was the
Confederate Louisiana soldier known
as Mann" in the pOtters field in St.
Judes cemetery has at last borne
fruit and the mystery is unraveled.
John BuSby, of Louisiana came
to Monroe not Immediately after
the war, but in the winter of II
He was a big gruff fellow and
needy. Some Confederates found
work for him on the John Dawson
farm, where he worked possibly
three weeks and was taken ill. He
came to this village and stopped at
the Livingston, later known as the
Hanley hotel where he roomed
with James L. Palmer, then a mere
boy, but who now and for possibly
thirty years has farmed a few miles
west of this city.
AS Mr.. Palmer gives it: We
roomed together and though a rough
man when Mr.. Busby realized that
he was sick with pneumonia
one night he offered a prayer and
such prayer l never listened to in
my life. A few days later he
died and we laid him away in
potterS field"
Il have seen your questions year
after year and intended year after
year to give you the facts in the
case, but as time would pass before
| saw you and then it would slip
my mind"
We are glad that at last the mys-
terry is cleared up.

Then, Now.

In 1901 Hillery Bros. of north of
city, bought wheat at &c to feed to
their horses and hogs, because it
was cheaper than corn.
Monday they sold 100 bushels of
wheat at $1,40 to Mcfarland Bros.
that was not as fine grain as they
had bought at &c and fed to their
stock.

He rose to go.
"Mademoiselle will be closely

therefore be well to comply care
fully with the requirements of the
authorities.
But for how long?" she asked,
in desperation.
Until further notice. Word will
be sent as soon as the surveillance

The two women looked at each
other, aghast, as his footsteps
sounded more family and ceased.
Fanchette crept across to a win
dow, and, peering therefrom, saw
him stop on the opposite pavement
to exchange a few words with a
shabby looking nondescript loung-
ing in a low doorway there. Both
looked up in her direction,
and, in spite of the muslin screen
which sheltered her from their
gaze, she shrank back, crossing
herself. The strange prescience
of the Quai des Orfevres frighten-
ed her, as it has frightened many
Of more educated intelligence.
"We may almost give up the
struggle, it seems, Fanchette,"
said the girl after a long interval,
during which she had been count
ing every remaining chance. Her
eyes were heavy, her tone was one
of hopeless encouragement. ITO
carry it on now would be to court
needless scandal, and, after all we
have sacrificed to escape that, it
would be foolish as well as futile
to incur 1t at the finish. There's
nothing for it but to await Mon
sieur's next move, and meantime
we must make the time pass as
best we can.
1--WE have nothing to fear from
the police" she continued, to
soothe her maids very evident
agitation, while we don't attempt
to evade them. They will not mo-
lest us, Fanchette. We are free to
come and go as we please, in
Paris. This is no more than Mon
sieur's method of OBTAINING us un-
til he comes"
Fanchette nodded her compre-
hension, but was not comforted.
She was peasant woman of the
Vendee, where Monsieur, too, had
been born. Her humble home had
lain under the swart shadow Of his
fathers great fortalice at La
Roche-Segur, which was his now.
