Here is story on the Missouri
mule: A farmer, by hard labor,
raised a large crop of popcorn. but
as he could not sell it that fall, de-
cided to keep it till spring but when
spring came he was still unable to
dispose of it. He decided to crib it
and wait for better prices. The
corn stood the weather alright, UNI
til one day the sun got too hot for
it and it began popping and flying
all over the horse lot and that poor
mule, thinking it was showing,
backed himself up against the corn
crib and froze to death. Elk.

Song of the Laseard.

I'd like to have my share of fame
I'd like to be a leader here.
Id like all men to know my name
And greet me with rousine
cheer,
I'd like to climb to topmost heights
Where mediocrity is barred;
But that means working late al
nights
And that's too hard.
I'd like to write a clever book,
I've started once or twice to do it;
When I should work, my ease
took,
And so I've never struggled
through it.

But I've done noting, as I've said,
1t is so hard to work them out.
I'm certain could stand success
And l could get it if men knew
me:
Iwonder why they never guess
My worth and hand their prizes
to me.

I'm very sick of merely clerking;
Most any station l would grace,
If can get it without working.

The harder times grow and the
more difficult it gets to be for the
man who tolls t0 earn his living,
the more offices and higher salaries
are demanded by the men in poll
tics, on the ground that it costs
more to live. When it costs the
officials more to live, the tax-bear-
ing animal must live on still less. -

A woman took her baby in her
arms to hear a preacher down at

by saying, My good woman, don't
60 away, the baby doesn't disturb
me" 1t isn't for that sir, l leave"

Can't Write it Right.

know how you are Going to write
it: There are three twos in the

spell two, two. the sentence is in

too or to- Catch the point?
Really, it is incorrect to say it, al
though it certainly should be posi-
BILE to express the thought. This
thing has got me going, and it sim
ply goes to show what a mess the
English language is. There GER
tainly is a word two and a word
too and another to and they are
all three pronounced alike two,

The Best Booster.

Columbia Herald: There is a
great deal said about a publicity
bureau for Missouri. The state
now enjoys the work of long es-
tabliShed bureau of this nature in
the manner of the Missouri press
The press may become little bit
lazy at times and forget to tell all
about the goodness, of Missouri
yet, in time it usually does the
work and does it well.
Now is a good time for every pa
per in Missouri to begin talking
about the many good qualities of
the state and its opportunities to
those who are looking for a home
or a place for safe investment.
AS the Monroe City Democrat
has never become a little bit lazy
it will not have to take advice from
those that have, nor to spit on its
hands and take a fresh hold.
