east Missouri Wednesday on busi-
ness of the Central States Life

VIM. Kraft has sold part of the
Aber blacksmith shop to S. W.
Tapscott, who has had it moved to
his property on North State street
for barn. Mr.. Kraft is having
his irOn-clad store building moved

block east of it's former location.
Lee Love and son, Wesley, came
up from Laclede county the last Of

his family, which will just suit
their many Laclede friends.
The Benson Banking Company,

Blade today shows, is a healthy
and thrifty young institution, and
it is growing stronger and better
each year. Its business methods
are safe and sound, its officers are
young and energetic and it's list of

A POLITICAL FABLE.

A Man with Eyeglasses and large
Teeth applied to Board of Directors Of
a National Bank for the position of Presi.
dent. When asked for his experience
and recommendations, He replied, 81
do not need written testimonials, My
Own Word is sufficient. I know all
about banking having made it Study
all My life. "What banks have you
been in?" asked the Directors "a great
many as you will understand when I tell
you that have been connected with a
gang OF safe blowers and bank robbers
since I was boy, and after occupying
many subordinate positions was made
Chief of the Gang upon the death of the
former Chief and occupied that position
for seven years. Three years ago, want
ing to visit Africa, resigned in favor of
My lieutenant, intending to take Ny
position again on Ny return, but the
gang refused to allow Me and selected
the lieutenant for their chief again.
So as I am out of job, think it will pay
you to select Me as your President as
from the nature of things can better
protect the Bank from My old comrades
than anybody eles.''
"But isn't it rather strange that you
who have been Chief of the gang so long
should now apply for position that
should be held by an honest man?" said
the directors.
"Ah, you would impeach my honestys''
said the Elk. Chief. 81 would have you
know, sirs, that I was the only honest
man in the gang" am proud Of My
personal honesty. Any man who i'm.
pugns Ny honesty is liar and a member
OF the Annanias Club"
The Directors being thus Convinced
and also by the large Club that He held
in his hand, Immediately elected Him
President-nit.
Moral-All fables are fiction, SO is this
one. No nk-Robber ever with such q
record asked Board to elect him Presi-
dent. Only One Man ever had
the Cheek to try it and he was not q
Bank-Robber, only Politician.

TAKING FOOL RISKS.

In Milwaukee during the past week q
couple Of automobile drivers lost thar
lives and another was MANNED and lies
at the point of death while racing at the
rate Of 9 hundred miles an hour more or
less.
Almost every week we hear of men
dashed to pieces from falling through
the air while demonstrating how foolish
a man can act while doing monkey shines
in an aeroplane.
The man who risks his life for others,
is brave, and deserves the highest honor.
The man who risks his life simply in Q
desire to excel is q fool.
In fact, to us, it seems that the line
between the risk Of life and the saving
Of property should be very closely drawn.
II might pay to take some risk even fol
the latter, but not very much.
Suppose some day you we're sitting on
the bank Of q river with crowd Of mon
and some one proposed that ten Of the
party should attempt to cross the river
by swimming. Il is known positively to
the party that il the attempt is made
that At least one Of the party is certain to
be drowned, but which one is matter Of
chance. Would you voluntarily become
one Of the swimmers if the only reward
for the risk would be. that you had SWAN
the riverf 3sss
We believe that any man who takes
such chances is voluntarily oommitting
suicide 60 far as he is Individually con-
oerned, and tie law should take notics
af his act inst 9 il does il other suicide
cases. s;.
The law iorbids dusls with guns And
swafds and svsn condemns pugilistis o.
|oountsrs. but 6 fAr 4 pssnits taee1

Engraving on Stone oS Old Babyloniasa

Probably the Oldest representation Of
flying men is that engraved on one of
the Babylonian stone seals in the Ber-
lin Asiatic museum. ., *,
This seal dates back to at least 1000
b. G. From the characters depicted
it Is surmised that the work is Of about
the period $500 B. G. ; ..->
The tale illustrated is Of Etana sitting
on an eagle and flying from earth to-
heaven. Beneath Etana are a man
with uplifted hand and dogs looking
up, on the left shepherd and his flock,
at the top left corner a potter at work
and beyond baker baking cakes. 49,.
In the story 1t is stated that Etana
looked down, and on the seal is repre-

West today the Western Maryland
Railway was transformed from a
local railroad into an independent
trunk system. The western outlet
is gained through the new 87-milc
extension from Cumberland, Md,
to Conersville, Pa, connecting with
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie rail
road.
