That the relations are strained between
women and the state few Of US will deny,
What the trouble is is another question.
Some maintain that women are biologleally
untitled for active participation in affairs
of government. Others think that it is
not a case of woman's nftness. but rather
Of a misft on the part Of the states consti-

This is my opinion, but make no quar-

M. e. Church Notes

The pastor was absent during
the week assisting in revival SER
vices at Clarence.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Brainard Pow
ell, who reside south of Brookfield,
spent Sunday and Monday visiting
their uncle, L. G. Powell, at the
parsonage.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Clark have
returned from Umatilla, Florida,
where they spent a part of the win
ter, and were with us again at the
Sunday services.
The Missionary Society will meet
next Wednesday, March 3, in the
home of Miss Laura Love. The
president would like full attend
ance at this meeting.
New collection baskets have been
ordered for the church, which is
certainly a much needed article, as
they will be a great improvement
over the old ones and more con-
venient for the collectors.
The Easter programs are being
received and we hope to have the
school deeply interested in this,
one of the most important features
Of the Methodist Sunday school,
which should always be observed.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, the Sunday school board
meeting that was to have been held
in the home of II. G. Lomax was
postponed, as the superintendent
wishes a full turnout to transact
important business relative to the
interests of the school.
While our Sunday school is not
booming, we are glad to note that
it is on the increase and the collec-
tions are all that one could ask for,
considering the attendance. There
were 1863 present last Sunday morn
ing and the collection was $5.6 81.
Owing to changes of residence, we
are losing several of our faithful
scholars.

Some Evening Reveries.

The chief anxiety is not that
woman have other rights accorded
her, but that she, by the grace of
God, rise up to the appreciation of
the glorious rights she already pos
sesses. First she has the right to
make home happy. That realm no
one has ever disputed with her.
Your abode may be humble, but
you can, by your faith in God an9
your cheerfulness Of demeanor,
gild it with splendors such as an
upholsterer's hand never yet kindl-
ed. There are abodes in every city
humble, two stories, four plain,
rooms, undesirable neigh
borhood, and yet there is man
who would die on the threshold
rather than surrender. Why7 1t is
home. Whenever he thinks of it,
he sees angels of God lowering
aronnd it. The ladders of heaven
are set down to that house. Over
the child's rough crib there are the
chantings of angels as those that
broke over Bethlehem. It is home.
These children may come up after
awhile, and they may win high po-
sition. and they may have an af-
fluent residence, but they will not
until their dying day forget that
roof under which their
father rested, and their mother
sang, and their sisters played. Oh,
if you would gather up all tender
memories, all the lights and shades
Of the heart, all banquetings and
reunions, all filial, fraternal, pater-
nal and conjugal affections, and
you had only just four letters with
depth and length and breadth and
and eternity of meaning
you would write it out in those four
living capitals, HOME.

It takes but a little push to start
stone rolling down hill, and many
a heavy-hearted human being has
been sent into the depths because
of a push in the wrong direction.
1t may be because it is easier to
push than to pull that we move
along with the crowd, saying in
wardly, each one for himself, "
and scarce think it worth while to
lend helping hand where it is
most needed.
Nothing is more charming to see
than a young girl, simple, natural,
gentle, refined, unaffected and pol
ished in mind and manner. Child
ren should be early taught polite
ness; not politeness and manners to
put on the best dress. True polite
ness is that which springs from a
nice mind and a kind heart, which
refuses to wound other by acts of
discourtesy. True politeness is rare
and more valuable, perhaps, than is
often imagined.
It's best to do the work given US
to do, no matter how distasteful it
may be, just as we'll as it can be
done, not mechanically, but with
the whole heart. If it is a round
of household duties day after day,
make it pleasant by scattering
CLEANS of sunshine all along the
way. Making a bright spot here
and cosy corner there. Let the
arrangement of your table be a bit
of artistic grouping, make it pic
ture with a new sitting every day.
It really doesn't cost much to be
happy, if we only know how.
Brother, when you come in from
work in the evening, we all know
you are tired, but put on your best
look and assume a happy mood; do
not frown if the floor is not swept,
nor supper ready. Engage the little
folks just a little while and get
them to looking forward to your
coming with pleasure. It win help
to happily home wonderfully.

Thieves and robbers are an in
dustrious lot of fellows when it
comes to laying plans to ply their
trade. An eastbound Hannibal
and St. Joe meat train, out of Kan
sas City was partly burglarized
near Bevier early Saturday morning
and five fore-quarters of beef were
stolen. The burglars, who seemed
to be riding on the train, applied
the air brakes, thus slowing down
the train, after which it was found
necessary for the trainmen to leave
a number of the cars behind, while
the remainder of the train was TAX
en- up grade. When the engine
came back for the remaining cars,
the trainmen discovered that the
train had been visited by robbers,
who had made good their escape.
The railroads have been having
serious difficulty with freight car
robbers of late, but this method is
an entirely new one.
A newspaper story to the effect
that there has been break be-
tween State Chairman Dickey and
Governor Hadley is most emphati
cally denied here by the best auth
ority-the governors private secre-
tary and the secretary of the state
committee, Hon. Rush G. Lake, a
man who talks about such things
only when he has something def
mite to say. Chairman Dickey re-
turned to the state from trip to
south and to Cuba last week and
departed last Tuesday for New
Orleans. He will be in Washing
ton to attend the Inauguration,
and, like all Missouri republicans,
will be delighted because Missouri
will be in the procession of republi-
can states, represented by a repub-
lican governor, and having contri-
buted her electoral vote to the re-
;bublican president-elect. 1t viii be

The manager Of the Laclede op-

with the Royal Slave Co." to ap-

night of April 13. This is a good

J. Ell. Garner arrived with two
cars last Saturday from Iowa and
moved out to the Pennoyer farm
which he purchased a few weeks
ago. Mr.. Garner has been a pro-
fessor in college for a number of
years, but was forced to take up
outdoor work on account of his
health, and there can be no doubt
about his being :-,.1eiss on a Mis-

was a pleasant caller at this Office
Monday and had his name placed
on our route two list with the date

plain declaration, the world is full of
that class of deceived human beings

achieve excellence without great Ia
