$4,000 Depot for Carthage?

The Missouri Pacific is to replace the
old depot at Carthage with new struc-
ture of Carthage stone, the cost Of
which will be, according to reports, $40,
600. 1t is planned to make it the hand
soonest depot in southwest Missouri, as
we'll as one of the largest, though the
exact dimensions OF the building have
not been announced.
The site chosen for the new depot is
on central street, opposite Cassil place.
1t is said the company has for a long
time contemplated the erection Of new
depot on this site, and the burning Of
the old one month ago merely hasten
ed their intended action in the matter.
Later reports deny that any plans
have been made public for the building
OF a depot, but not that one is TO be
built.

Few Cattle Raised Now.

The country is becoming literally
barren Of cattle. Twenty. five years ago
cattle grazed upon every Barton
county hill. There was scarcely a
farmer who didn't have a good sized
herd. In those days, butter sold for
from ten to fifteen cents, and butcher
animals we're considered remarkably
we'll sold If they brought two and half
cents pound on foot. Toe big fields of
unbroken prairie were used almost ex-
clusively Tor pasturing big herds OF cat.
tie. Many farmers in Jasper, and other
adjoining counties kept good sized
punches OF stock, and brought them up
here to have them pastured during the
summer. A milk COW that brought
twenty five dollars in those days WAS a
world bsater, and spring calf brought
from five to ten dollars. Now when
these prices look like counterfeit money
nobody raises cattle. The prairie land
is still here but it is no longer pastur-
cd. II has all been converted into hoy
land. The grass is cut every year and
away, Nothing 10 pas back upon the
land 10 rsturs. Certainly . big change,
and it oSn't b said 10 be for abe better.

the Queen of Roumania

l. Thou shalt not cause the first

A. II thou considerest thine husband
heartless, remember that; verify, he
hath stomach. BY persistently ap-
pealing to his stomach with we'll cooked
meals thou mayest, after all, touch his

often. thou shalt let him have the last
word. 1t tickleth him and will not do
thee any harm. a., '.'i b..
6. Thou shalt read the whole news

Thine husband will be pleasantly sur
prised to find, off and on, that he can
talk on general topics and even on poll.
tics with his wife.
7. Thou shalt not be rude even when
quarreling with thy husband. Forget
not that at one time in thy life thou
didst consider him little short Of demi.

allow thine husband to know more than
thyself, admitting that thou are not in
fallible all through.
8. If thine husband is a smart man
thou shalt be his friend; il be is not,
thou shalt be both counselor and friend
to him.
10. Thou shalt esteem thy husbands
relatives, especially his mother. Re-

Has a Man the Right to DRINK


to the question Of prohibition, as our
readers may have observed. Neverthe-
less we ran across contribution 10 the
Lamar Democrat the other day that
presents one phase OF the matter in
such an unusual way that we reproduce
it here. How many of you have ever
wondered il it were really right to pre-.
vent man from taking drink IL be
chose to do sof The communication is
from j. w. Moran, the Lamar miller.
Here it is:
Dear Mr.. Aull:-
In your paper Of the 2sth inst you
write Of the saloon as iudefensible from
the standpoint of public interest and
accord with all you say and endorse all
you wrote with the exception of your re.
ference to prohibition as an unquestion.
able evil, and you cay If there is any
thing in American institutions a man
should be accorded the privilege Of
buying and drinking intoxicating bev.
erages.
II so why not accord him the privi-
lege of carrying concealed weapons, he
need not injure anyone? Why not Ter
NIT man to burn bis own house il it is
paid for? Why not permit two persons
to enter into mortal combat SO long as
they mutually agree to hurt no one else
Why not permit man aud woman to
live together without taking the mar
riage vow if they so agree? why not
permit man to work on Sunday? why
not permit boys to stay out after nine
O'Clock or why not permit them to jump
on moving trainsP
All these questions OF personal priyi.
lege affect the public interest, welfare
and morals in about the same manner
as results from drinking Intoxicating
liquors.
Prohibition isn't so bad, it is only the
low saying, thou shalt not steal chick.
