LIVING ON ONES FRIENDS.
The Social CRATER Solves the Problem
of Existing on Nothing.

It is generally considered that the
successfully solved the problem of
how to live we'll on nothing a year,
is limited to large cities. But If you
will stop to think a moment, you
will be able to recall from your W
experience that there is no town so
small, no farming district even, which
does not boast a man who is always
wanting a pocketful of nails or a
woman who wants a cup of sugar and
a pinch of tea, which eve by any
chaace are returned.
This is. of course, it's crudest form.
In towns it runs more to copying the
clothes and hats of those fortunate
enough to get their fashions from oc-
casional trips to the city; to borrow.
ing the new songs and stealing new
ideas. until it must be more of a bur.
den than a joy to be prominent in a
town where such liberties are taken
with or without permission.
But for the highest exemplificatior
of real social graft, commend me tc
liz DclooHS wiz, SltiSl lloAl LlOIlNCs
Of thrift or stern necessity, must gel
the bulk Of their living out Of theil
| friends. In the dear old-fashioned hos
| pitality, where the ~latchstring always
hangs out to friends, we are some
| times compelled to entertain unwel
come guests and make the best of it
There are few of us so poor spirited
that we would grudge a meal or two
even to people we don't like.
But the form of social graft mos
in vogue at present is the polite bu
firm pressure which compels us tt
pay for small luxuries for persons W,
care nothing about; a pressure which
we can ill afford and which robs tn
act of all the gr%aciousness it nigh
possess, If ours were a voluntar,
generosity. For the friends of a sc
cial CRATER are literally held Up.
This is not an exchange of courte
sizes. 1t is petty larceny.-Smart Sci

WHEREAS Mortimer Gleason and Bertha
Gleason. his wife on the 25th of February,
1898. executed their deed of trust of that date
unto Valentine Thomas, Trustee, now de-
ceased, to secure the payment OF the note and
debt, therein described, to James l.. Mosley,
by which deed of trust was conveyed the
west of the southwest quarter of section
number twenty-five (22) in township Number
46, in Range No. 6, West, being lands in Mont
gomery County,, Missouri. and whereas said
deed provides that, if said debt shall become
due and unpaid, and that if said Valentine
Thomas shall die and, that if said holder and
owner Of such note shall request the under
signed Sheriff to sell said land as trustee that
he shall do so, and whereas said Valentine
ihomas is dead and said James l.. Mosley
has ordered and requested said Sheriff to sell
said lands under said deed of trust and pay
said debt, which is due and unpaid.
Now, therefore by the provisions of said
deed of trust and the law, l will on Saturday,
the 9th day of March, 1909, at the front door
Of the Court House in Montgomery City, Mo-,
between the hours of nine o'clock in the
morning and five o'clock in the afternoon sell
said land to the highest and best bidder for
cash, in order to pay off said debt and costs.

Every man should be his own tree
doctor. If properly trained he has
been busy all summer removing suck
ers from the trees, fighting fungus and
discouraging insects. When the leaves
are off ne goes all over his plantation,
diagnosing each tree, shrub and bush.
He will find some borers not yet
killed, and these should be thoroughly
eradicated from his ounces and apples
before winter sets in. Use a flexible
wire and a sharp knife, and when the
larvae are killed pile coal ashes freely
around the tree. He will probably find
in his currant and berry fields more
or less bushes that cultivation has
loosened in the soil. These are liable
to heave out during the winter. He
| should slip a narrow shovel under the
| plant, draw out the dirt, and let the
| bush settle until il is well planted
| Tread heartily, and then, if you have
them to spare, place a scuttle Of Goa
ashes about each one.-Outing Maya
zine.

Revision of the Laws.

BOTH houses of the General
Assembly have approved the
plan suggested by Governor
EHadley' for revising the statutes.
The Democratic Senate was more
prompt and agreeable in the
matter than the Republican House
Some Republican members having
= been afraid that the expense in
1volved was too great. The plan
r in brief was to let the West Pub
fishing Company, noted law pub
fishers, make the compilation, au-
notation and amputation neces
sary and put the various sections
together under appropriate head
rings, and then let six lawyers to
, be paid ten dollars a day each,
; take the sections, thus compiled
and cut out those sections and
provisions, which are dead OF
obsolete, and correct, sim lily
and improve those sections, which
need. such changes, harmonic G
y sections, which have been passed
upon by the Supreme Court with
the decisions of that court, and
prepare bills to be put through the
d, legislature to make such changes
legal.
The, publishing company will do
the difficult part of the revisory
work-the part, which would re
: quire more time and labor ant
= skill 'than any legislative com
mittss could possibly give it. Tn
lawyers will do that part, which
requires legal knowledge, famil
s'iarity with the statutes aud will
scourt decisions. The Legislature,
will only have to pass on tn
statutes thus put together AM
corrected.
:" This arrangement will Civ
more time for the other bushes
to be transacted by the legisle
ture, and will secure a thor
'ough and satisfactory revisio:
at a cost al least twenty percen
less than if the work were to b
undertaken by the legislature i
the usual way.

Meeting Mr..
Brown
BY v. Toppfer.

Copyright, by Ford Pub. co.,
1t has never been my brother
Ralph's habit to be very e~xtravagant
when It came to spending money on
me, so ! was rather surprised when,
one morning before going downtown,
he asked me if | would go to the Hip
podrome, and, at first, l thought he
was only joking.
81 can see that you must think there
is something under this, Grace, II
so there is. 1t is like this: You re-
member Charlie Brown l have spoken
off"
YES, but don't quite see"
well, Charlie is coming to New
York tonight and | want to give him
a good time, and as he has always
been particularly anxious to meet you,
| thought it a good idea to take you
along to entertain him."
Il am sure l shall enjoy It,"
well, now you leave here on the
$3.50, that will take you to Grand Cen
trail at zoos, and | will meet you there
and we will both wait for Charlie, who
will be on the Boston express, which
gets in at 1920. We will then have
just about an hour to get dinner at
the Manhattan and get to the Hippo
drome in time for the show at $50,
But now l must be off to catch my
train. Do not forget-Grand Central
at 1905"
That afternoon / got a telegram
from Ralph. 1t read:
will be detained by business. Can
not make Grand Central. You NEE
Charlie; take him to dinner, | will be
at entrance of H%ippodrome at $780,"
AT first l was rather put out. The
idea that l should go and meet a man
whom l had never see and take him
out for dinner seemed a rather out-of
the-way thing for a young girl inclined
to be bashful, but after awhile the
thing began to appeal to my sense O.
fun, so $50 found me on board the
| train for the city, but l did not arrive
until 1928 as my train was belated.
The Boston express had been OF
time, however, and all the passengers
had gone when | ran up to the plat
form. No, not ~all--there was o
young man walking up and down a.
if waiting for somebody.
Surely that must be Charlie Brow

1 thought and ran up to him, calling
out: "Mr. Brown!"
The agility with which he turned
around proved his identity. He
looked at me in surprise.
That is my name, but l do not
have the pleasure"
ooh, that is all right, I I'M Grace
Warburton, Ralph's sister, and want
to take you with me to dinner, as
Ralph was delayed and will meet us
later. Now we must go and have
something to eat in a hurry, as we
have O very much time"
He tried to say something, and
looked so bewildered that l could
hardly help laughing when I looked
at the queer expression in his face,
but would not listen to him, and we
we're soon seated in a restaurant OPP
posite the depot, as the state of my
finances would not allow me to take
him to the Manhattan.
He insisted that he was not hungry
but l put this down to bashfulness
and insisted on ordering a steak fol
each of us. By a SLY motion to the
waitress l succeeded in getting bolt
| of the bill, and when he wanted tt
pay / assured him Nnat was altogether
out of the question.
But | insist"
81 shall not allow anything Of the
kind. Ralph would eve forgive m'
if I did" He laid his hand gently OF
ray arm.
81 should feel like a criminal if al
lowed you to pay for me-"

but why are you here, then?"
"Well. l must really ask you; you
simply did not give me a chance to
