BICYcLIsT R. T. STEELE.
One of Audrain's Early Settlers.
A Young Man at 70:

We quote an article below from
the University NIissourian in
which II. T. Steele. a former Au-
drain citizen, is referred to. The
Message editor when boy
well remembers Mr.. Steele. Mr..
Steele improved a farm north OF
Laddonia. later owned by Frank
Akridge. Mr.. Steele and his
young bride, who was a Miss
Williamson of Rails county, set
tied there near 40 years ago. lie
afterwards moved TO a farm
southeast Of Farber. Later he
moved to Vandalia, building the
first brick residence in that town.
which is still standing. Later
nc bought farm northwest ol
Wellsville, n part of which ~
believe he still owns. Afterwards
he moved to Laddonia. aud then
his next move was to ColumbiU.
Mr.. Steele raised a family or
'ix children and each one of them
is graduate of one or more dc
pa: tmcnts of the Missouri Uni
'crSity. Where is there aul.hr
family in the State with a record
ike that?
Mr.. Steele is an Eng,i hmr
md is one of the hest posted men
we ever met. He is an interest.
ing fellow.
Here is what the University
Missourian says of him:
Riding a bicycle at Is years ol
age you'd be considered difficult
by most men. But r. T. Steele,
a tailor, who lives on Matthews
street, says il is simple matter.
He still rides to and from his
work every day. lie handles the
wheel as easily as boy, he says.
MIR. Steele came TO Columbia
several years ago, form farm in
Audrain county. After selling
all his horses he found that walk
ing was a poor substitute for
horseback riding. So he decided
that the bicycle was the thing for
him. Now he believes that many
who find walking a tax for their
endurance, would do well to learn
the wheel.
"It is only Il case where lie
Termination will win," said Mr..
Steele, yesterday. "There are a
great many men of my age who
have answered: No, | could
never do that, | would break my
meek"
| Mr.. Steele is an expert tailor,
land believes that work is just as
Igood for a man of rs years as for
lone of 25. He works regularly at
THE shop and spends an hour or
1.-TWO every day in his garden.
Regular meals and regular hours
for sleep, is one rule he holds fast
The average working man, hi
says, has too long hours of labor
ITIe believes that five or six hours
a day would be better.
Indeed, +" he argues, If every
man did his share we would mol
have to work more than the time
that is now required for OIL
regular vocations."

Mr.. Bunau-V -Varilla declared the only

that Franklin MacVeagh, of Chicago,

Mr.. MacVeagh accepted the place

gates his entire Cabinet. But in this
case, as in other notices of appoint
ments, the facts are known to be cor

were those to express friendship, and
had no other significance.

FRUIT TREES ARE BLOOMING.
Cold Weather Now Would Be Likely

Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch.
Owners of fruit trees in this vicini-
ty are just now on the anxious bench
as to the weather, the springlike tenn
perature of the past week or two hav
ing brought the trees into full bloom
in practically midwinter, so that a
freeze now would play havoc with the
oncoming crop.
A freeze now would also damage
the spinach and cabbage crops, but
the Strawberries have not been bloom
ing enough, it is said, to hurt them.
would seriously hurt the young cab
bages planted last November, and
which are now as large as saucers,
but very tender owing to the warm
weather.
Some of the farmers have taken the
risk and put in their Irish potatoes
earlier than usual owing to the open
season, while some others have been
afraid to plant so soon, and will not
put them in the ground till the first
week in March.
A freeze after a rain is what the
farmer breads as to his early spring
crops, a dry freeze not being so de-
structive.
The fruit trees In their lovely garbs
of delicate pink and white blossoms
look strange here at this season of
the year.
