He tried to look encouraging, without
success.
1T won't be long now, MISS Innes,"
he said. II have come out here On
peculiar errand, which / will tell you
about later. First, | want to ask some
questions. Did any one come out here
yesterday to repair the telephone, and
examine the wires on the roof"
Yes" / said promptly; ''but it was
not the telephone. He said the wiring
might have caused the fire at the
stable. / went UP with him myself,
but he only looked around"
Mr.. Jameson smiled.
Good for you!" he applauded

He refused to explain further, but
he got slip of paper out of his
pocket-book and opened it, carefully.
Listen" he said. You heard this
before and scoffed. In the light of re-
cent developments 1 want you to read
it again. You are clever woman,
Miss Innes. Just as surely as sit
here, there is something in this house

number of people. The lines are clos

from California the knowledge of

JOY Riders get Gay.

Last Tuesday afternoon as Claud
Emison, driver of the North Allan
tic Schooner, which conveys freight
from Hannibal to this city, near
the gardens, about one mile this
side of lakewood, he met Car No. 30
driven by A. A. Franklin, and occu-
pied by Robt. E. Lee, A. c. Jones
and G. Drexell, all of St Louis, who
were in the St. Louis Star Endur-
ance Race. Claud states that he
gave them most of the road, when
they ran into his horses. He asked
them what they meant, when they
stopped their car, got out, and one
pointing a gnn at his head, while
Mr.. Franklin BACKED his eyes. The
St. Louis men stated in Pros. Atty.
Briscoe's office, this city, Wednes-
day. that Claud slashed them
across the face with a whip, when
they got out to see what they could
do. They said Claud made a mo-
ton toward his hip pocket as if to
draw a gun, when they drew theirs,
and then went after Claud with
their fists. Claud says he had no
idea of drawing a gun, but has a
habit of standing with his hands
on his hips. Sheriff Roland went
to Hannibal Tuesday night and ar
rested the men. They were ar,
raigned before Squire Brown We'd

$500. E. C. Carter, of Hannibal

The Boy Who Foreets.

| love him, the boy who forgets!
Does it seem such a queer thing
to say?
Can't help it; he's one of my pets;
Delightful at work or at play.
I'd trust him with all that | own,
And know neither worries nor
fretS;
But the secret of this lies alone
In the things that the laddie for
gets.
He always foreets to to pay back
The boy who has done him an i'll;
Forgets that a grudge he owes Jack,
And smiles at him pleasantly
still.
He always forgets It's his turn
To choose what the others shall
play;
Forgets about others to learn
The cosby things that they say"
He forgets to look sulky and cross
When things are not going his
way;
ForgetS someone's gain is his loss;
Forgets, in his worktime. his play.
So this is why | take his part;
Why | say he is one of my pets;
l repeat it with all my heart:
| love him for what he fOrgets!

That redistricting gerrymander
of the Republicans is a huge joke
all over the state. Democrats and
all other fair-minded citizens should
not tolerate such vile partisanism
as is shown by Hadley, Swanger
and others in trying to re-arrange
the districts that the Republican
might gain more seats in the U. S.
congress. The voters will swat
that amendment hard at the next
election.-Milan Standard.

Mud Hooks.

The autoists from St. Louis last
Wednesday with mud clutched" on
their machines literally tore the
road to pieces, like a plowing at
the E. Tooley corner east of the
city.
Men having no more regard for
good roads than that bunch of city
flyers ought to be driven from the
roads.
By the way four of them beat up
a farmer near Hannibal because he
did not give them all the road and
they were arrested for it and ought
to and doubtless will get the limit
for their conceit and brutality.

Obituary.


While he was yet an infant the
family moved to KY, where they
made their home for about IS
years. In Oct. 1898 they returned
to Monroe City where they have
since resided.
When Clarence was sixteen years
of age he spent a year in school at
the Virginia Military Academy.
But instead of returning the second
year he remained at home and
graduated from the Monroe City
High School.
He then took up the Civil Engi-
neering course at the Mo. State Uni
versity, but was forced to give up
that course on account of his eyes
and general health. The next year
he travelled through the South and
was restored to his normal strength.
In the fall of 1907 he entered the
Western Dental College at Kansas
City, Mo-. from which he graduated
May ID, 1910 with the degree of DR..
of Dental Surgery. After taking
the State Examination at Jefferson
City he returned to his home at
Monroe City for few days rest be-
fore taking up his work.
On Sunday night, June 10, he
was taken violently ill, and after
nine days of struggle, in which love
and skill exhausted themselves in
a vain attempt to save his life, he
passed away at 1870 p. m. June %,
aged "a years, II months and IS
days.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
father, mother, two brothers and
two sisters with many other rela-
tives and a large circle of friends.
Clarence was a member of the
Christian church and a young man
of exemplary character, and the
high esteem in which he was held
in this community is fitting trib-
ute to his worth. AS a member OF
the home, as a member of the social
life of the community, as a mem
Der of the church, as a student in
high school and college, from every
source and relationship comes the
same honorable and complimentary
report of his life.
But this only seems to add pathOS
to the circumstances of his death.
That one so young, so Worthily
ambitious, so well equipped, sur
rounded by so many admiring and
encouraging friends, and with the
future so big with promise should
be stricken down. appears at first
thought more pathetic than if it
had been one with no purpose and
no promise in life. An yet it were
better that death should claim one,
who is not only prepared to live,
but also prepared to die and enter
upon that more abundant life
which Gods Son came to bestow
the world.
And then Death recognizes no spec
ial age, or season, or circumstance.
Leaves have their time fall,
And flowers to wither at the North
Winds breath,
And stars to Set;-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own
o Death"
The funeral services conducted
by Elder W. E. Reavis assisted by
DR.. w. A. Hatch, we're held from
the Christian Church at 10 a. m

A class of eleven young ladies
graduated from the Villa de Chantal
on the occasion of the 10th annual
commencement Of the institution con-
ducted by the Visitation order, with APP
propriate exercises this morning, a
large number of relatives and friends
of the graduates being present to
listen to the program, which was beau
tifully carried out.
Miss Naomi Johnson, salutatorian of
the class, opened the exercises, speak
ing as follows:
Brightest sunbeams, this morning,
on each glowing height,
Are fast tracing our freedom in lit
tiers of light,
And the zephyrs, athrilI with the hum
ming of birds,
Whisper low to our spirits, the soul
stirring words:
We are free which the echoes in
gladness repeat,
To the dead-laden flowers, we every
where meet.
Yes, we're free, cen as free as the
bird on the wing,
And our thanks at Gods throne the
bright angels now sing,
For the struggle is DER and the vic
tory proclaimed,
The diploma and crescent we've
now surely gained"
throughout our school lives we have
eagerly looked forward to that event
full hour when we should be relieved
from the toll and discipline of the
classroom. Today that once-coveted
freedom is ours, but already we begin
to realize that blessings brighten as
they take their fight" and we pause
and recall the years spent in this
sanctuary of natural beauty and moral
loneliness.
In a retrospective glance, our school
days pass before us in rapid panora-
ma. The early hours of weary work
in mastering the alphabet, the endless
and exasperating combinations of the
nine mysterious digits, while the hands
moved all too slowly and the bright
sunshine and fresh breezes tempted us
almost beyond resistance-the happier
days when our expanding minds pur-
sued their tasks with greater ease and
pleasure, and finally the last few years
of earnest toll and endeayor which
led up to the present triumph. Many
battles have been fought, not only
with the 'ologies and 'ometries, but
with our own unruly inclinations and
passions But now that freedom has
come we pause and ask ourselves once
more the question that has remained
unanswered throughout the years-To
what end have we toiled and labored?
Was it that we should be able to
answer. with credit, the test questions
propounded, evincing a study of the
higher arts and sciences? Was it that
