For Congress.

Hon. David w. Hill writes US to put
in his announcement as a candidate for
Congress, but we got the letter too
late to get his announcement in the
regular column this week. Mr.. Hill is
one of the big men in the Republican
party in Missouri. He served as
Speaker of tbs House of Representatives
in the. Legislature in 1907. He lives
at Poplar Bluff.
IT MI. Hill is nominated, as he very
likely will be, he will beat Joe Russell
so far that there will no longer be any
doubt that this is Republican district.

More Troub1e at Taneyvi1le.

Last Saturday there were two more
fights at Taneyville. Geo. Payne the
druggist, hit Squire j. L. Gordon in
the face rendering him unconscious
for some time. According to the Squire
he has, in his official capacity as JUS
tice of the peace, had several collec-
tions to make against Payne and that
was probablysthe cause of the assault.
He claims that he was struck from be-
hind without warning and that he does
not believe he was hit with a bare fist.
Squire Gordon is wearing a badly dis
colored eye.
Some of the boys, including Frank
Dillon, were playing on the Taney-
vile ball grounds Saturday afternoon.
According to statements made, one
George Gideon appeared on the scene
loaded with bad whiskey. He began
kicking up trouble, calling Dillon GER
tain names rejecting on his maternal
ancestry. Finally he grabbed Dillon
and threw him down. Whereupon, SO
the story goes, Dillon crawled out from
the bottom and proceeded to put a
head upon Gideon with which he could
eat hay and other dainty equine NOR
sells.

A. S. PRATHER.

Col. A. S. Prather, representative
in the Legislature from Taney county,
died at his home in Branson Friday.
June 8. His death was not unexpect-
ed as he had been suffering for some
time with a cancer and only a few
weeks ago had an operation performed
and had recently taken a trip to Cali
fornia in the hopes of beneftitng his
health.
Alonzo Smith Prather was born near
Vernon, Ind, July 25, 1910. He was
educated at Asbury (now Depauw)
university, Indiana. He entered the
Union army and was in the first battle
of the war. After the war he moved
to Arkansas and was general superin-
tendent of education of the fourth
judicial district of Arkansas. Later he
was appointed receiver of the U. S.
land office at Harrison.
He came to Taney in 1879 and has
since been a citizen of this county.
He was elected representative in
the 35th, 39th, 40th, 42nd and 45th
General Assemblies.
Col. Prather has played a large part
in the politics and development of the
county. He was one of the best
campaigners in the state. He belle we'd
in printers ink and used the newspaper
to good advantage. Most of his
writings were under the signature of
Sam Tompkins, and they attracted
wide attention.
He was a Mason and that order had
charge of the funeral which was held at
Kirbyville last Saturday. Members of
the order from Kirbyville, Branson, For
syth, Kissee Mills and other points were
present to pay their last respects.
Of his children Robert and Ben are
dead, while his sons, Frank, Richard
and Joe, and his daughters, Mrs. Mamie
Mahnkey, Mrs. Maggie Russell and
Mrs. Della --, with his wife sur
vive him.
The sympathy of the entire county
goes out to the sorrowing ones in their
hour of bereavement.

How are we to reconcile the

Defective Flues

Fire insurance statistics prove that
three fourths Of all fires originate from
defective stove fiues. Heretofore many
of the insurance companies have been
accepting dwellings-insuring them
where bricks in the stove flue were
set on edge and also where tile flues
were used, without extra charge. On
November 10, 1910, a rule was promul-
gated which provides that In future
the rate on all buildings, including
dwellings, where there Is any other
than a standard flue or flues, there
shall be an additional charge Of rs
cents on the 500 per year, which means
$3.50 for each $1,000 insurance. Those
who have no insurance and desire to
reduce the chance Of having their
buildings burned are advised, If they
have other than standard fiues, to have
them torn out and standardized imme-
diately and those who have insurance
and expect to continue to carry 1t, are
also advised to have their flues stand
ardized in order to reduce their chance
of being burned out and at the same
time keep their rate from being raised
when their policies are renewed. The
foregoing statement Is made for the
information Of all property owners, In
Guiding my own clients, and as / am
paying for the space in which 1t Is
made, do not feel called upon to go to
the additional expense of describing
what's meant by a standard flue,'
but will take pleasure In informing you
if you will ask me about 1t.

Christmas In Bethlehem.

We found large audience assembled
on Christmas Eve in the ancient church
of Bethlehem. Mass was being cele-
brated. The Latin patriarch was there,
assisted by the chief functionaries of
his church. A few Americans were
present. some of whom we had met in
America, and there were several per-
sons from the leading Christian coun-
tries The larger number of the wor-
shippers, however, were natives. The
audience was intensely interested. The
larger part Of it was obliged to stand
for several hours; if any one yielded
choice position it was quickly occu-
pied. few. overcome by WEAKNESS,
left before the conclusion Of the SER
vices, but the larger part stayed until
the end. We remained until the
chimes rang in the holy Christmas day
and until Gloria in Excelsis'' welled
up from hundreds of throats
and burst from the great organ. and
then returned to Jerusalem. We were
the only travellers upon the way save
the omnipresent men upon their cam
els going to and from the venerable
Holy City. They were silent as ghosts,
and in their monotonous swing seemed
to be part of the animals they rode,
and the whole presented In the dim
moonlight a weird aspect. We could
fancy that the scene we looked upon
was a familiar one upon that ancient
highway upon the night of the ami
versary Of which we had come to cele-
brate, and for centuries prior thereto.
The castle of David, near our hotel
seemed to stand sentinel, as it had been
doing, in part at least, for more than
1900 years.
When the morning came Christmas
greetings were exchanged among the
guests of the hotel, after the western
fashion. Americans were especially
hearty in remembering each other with
some mark of courtesy which the day
suggested. Late in the forenoon we
attended divine services in an English
church not far from the traditional
scene of the Last Supper. We listened
to an able dis 'ourse, which brought
vividly to our minds the tremendous
significance of Christmas. We were
indeed upon holy ground. Less than
six miles to the south was Bethlehem
and right at hand was the scene of the
crucifixion, burial and resurrection Of
our Saviour, 4 little way off against
the side of the narrow valley was the
Garden of Gethsemane; a little further
up and beyond it was the Mount of
Olives, and some thirty miles to the
east lay the Jordan and the Dead Sea.
The memory of a Christmas spent
amid such environment is one which
will abide.-Leslie's Weekly.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
People Who Stray From the Path Are
Miserable.

A foolish girl died in New York the
other day.
She killed herself and she left a
note. saying NO girl can live in New
York and be honest"
Poor thing. poor little dazzled, be-
wildered, puzzled, mistaken thing. She
told the exact opposite of the truth.
No girl can live in New York or
anywhere else and be dishonest-and
draw one really happy breath.
1 have known them, hundreds of
them-the dishonest women. Heaven
pity them.
l have seen them when they were
rich and petted and run after, and
pretty and young. and | have seen
them when they were forsaken and
laughed at and cast into the pauper's
hospital to die-and the ones who
were dying were the only ones l
ever saw who could smile without bit
terness.
Are you alone and poor and friend
less in great city, little girl?
Are you beginning to notice the beau
tifully dressed women you see flash
ing by you in automobiles, going in
and out of the smart restaurants buy
ing gorgeous things at the shops
do you sometimes begin to wonder If
you are paying too high a price for
your honesty. a price which means,
perhaps. loneliness and sometimes
even hunger?
Don't be deceived-don't be daZZled,
don't be confused. Get close to one
of these poor. Haunting, perfumed,
rustling women-real close to her,
and look straight into her eyes-what
an agony of humiliation you see there.
Always laughing-of course they are
always laughing, these poor creatures.
They have to laugh to keep from cry
ing aloud with pain and shame and
kind of bitter anger against the world.
Be honest. little girl. be honest
in the first place because it's right,
and in the second place because it's
common sense.
There is only one policy for this
world-juSt One-hOnesty.
Any thief in the penitentiary can
tell you that-any woman alight with
diamonds can tell you. tOO-there is
just one thing that 1t pays for woman
to be-good-the rest is dust and
ashes.-Winifred Black.
