About 2 o'clock last Friday morn
ing Mr.. and Mrs. W. W. Crisler were
aroused by sounds eminating from
the parlor. They could not say
some one was playing the piano,
but it was evident to their minds
that somebody or something was
tampering with the piano. Mr..
Crieler finally worked up courage
enough to take a light and investi-
gate when the trouble was found to
be the family cat amusing herself
by walking over the keys of the in
strument. Mrs. Crigler declares she
don't object to a musical cat but it
must confine its efforts to reasona-
BILE hours, and in the future the
piano will be closed and locked at

No man in the state has given

Magnificent in Defeat.
)ear Old Champ Clark"

Dear Old Champ Clark
THAT'S the way eloquent Jim"
Reed referred to him when he COM
mended him to the great Democrat
ic convention as an ideal candidate
for the presidency in the greatest
nominating speech made before
that body.
The editor of the Journal is just
back from Baltimore where he wit
messed every incident of the historic
national gathering, and after the
battle, and while the smoke is clear
ing away, he echoes the Reed senti-
ment, God bless Old Champ Clark"
Great in expectancy of a signal
honor, greater in defeat!
A disappointment such as has
come to Champ Clark. and it was a
disappointment, for he had every
reason to be buoyed up with hope
akin to certainty, was calculated to
shake his confidence in the party
he had so long aud faithfully
served.
But did it shake his faith?
Not for a single moment!
Before the demonstration follow
lowing the nomination of his sue
cessful opponent had subsibed in
tn e convention hall. Woodrow Viii
son was reading a telegram from
Champ Clark congratulating him on
his victory and pledging him his
earnest support!
That's how big Champ Clark is.
Defeat only added 70 his. party
enthusiasm, party loyalty. He will
fight as earnestly and zealonsly I'M
der the banner of Woodrow Wilson
as he would have been active had
the commanding eeneralship of the
Democratic hosts fallen to his lot.
He is more interested in relief to
to the people than in self-promo-
ton.
Champ Clark has every reason to
be proud of the great compliment
paid him by the most notable DEM
ocratic convention in this history
of the nation. He knew the uncer-
tainty of such a contest and realiz-
ed that disappointment must be the
lot of all but one of the conteDding
candidates.
, Disappointment was not confined
to the Clark household in Washing
ton. His defeat fell like pail over
every Missouri home.
But there is a future for Champ
Clark. His magnificent bearing
during the ordeal through which he
passed has only served to magnify
his greatness.
Champ Clark is on the firing line
for his party His Wilson torch is
lightedSand burning brightly for vic.
tory at the polls in November. He
bids his Missouri friends close up
ranks and join him IN this great
battle that promises so much for
the people.

An ebony hued individual applied
to A. j. Yager at Clapper sometime
since for work. Mr.. Yager hired
the fellow to work on his farm near
the village but before he could be-
gin work Andy was compelled to
furnish the darkie with clothing
sufficient to insure his safety in the
dining room as the alleged clothing
which he wore at the time hardly
made proper connections. In a few
days his coonship appealed to Mr.
Yager for better raiment, alleging
that blue overalls and hickory cot
ton shirts were hardly the proper
caper in the best "sassiety." Ac-
cordinely, Andy stood good for a
nice suit of clothes, the darkie
agreeing to work out the amount of
the cost on the farm. The rest is
the DID, old story. The darkie is
doubtless far away basking in the
smiles of his lady love in the elori-
GUS realization that only comes to
one of his race when arrayed in
new clothes. AS for Andy. since
last Monday he has a far away
look with a suspicion of vengence
in his conversation.

Work for Better Eggs.

Kansas City, July 5.-Country
merchants in Kansas have reached
the conclusion that the pure food
law with special reference to eggs,
is no joke. They have asked the
Agricultural College of the State
that schools of instruction be open
ed as soon as practical In response
to this urgent demand, the State
will have the field covered about
July l. The schools will be under
the supervision of W. A. Lipplncott,
professor of poultry husbandry at
the college. the professor knows
his business, for he truthfully says:
The time has past when anything
in a shell sold for an egg. 1t is
common custom now to throw out
eggs with black rot. They are easily
detected from fresh eggs. But to
Gull those with blood rings, spots or
heated and shrunken eggs is not so
easy. They often are passed by un-
noticed. Those who attend cand-
ling schools will learn to detect all
bad ones. The standard of market
eggs will be raised wonderfully
when Gambling becomes more gen.
eral, as it eventually will"

A good example of skirt which de-

are placed on the sides and the Tapped

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
By msuds E. ciIIsy.

Elasticity is restored to rubber oy
soaking it in one part ammonia and
two parts clear water until the de-
sired results are obtained This is
specially true in the case of rings or
other articles that have become stiff
and brittle.
There are many ways of getting
rid of mice, but try this: When mice
trouble you, hunt out their entrances
to pantry or cupboard and plaster
them with a mixture of melted (just
soft laundry soap and red pepper.
They will not come again.
Take old fruit jar rubbers, break
into bits and hold over a hot fire on
a shovel until it "blubbers;" then,
with a hroad-bladed knife, spread
quickly over the leak. Wet your fin
ger and rub till smooth. | have
mended hot-water bottles the same
way.
An old teapot is one of the best
things to use for putting paraffine on
jellies or preserves. Place the teapot
into which you have put the paraf-
fine on the stove, and when melted
pour over the jelly. Stand the tea
pot away and it is ready for future
use
To clean hair brushes use soda
dissolved in cold water, as hot water
and soap very often soften the bris-
ties and rubbing completes their
destruction. Avoid setting the brushes
near the fire or in the hot sun 10
dry, as this causes the bristles TO lose
their straightness; shake them well
and dry in the fresh air.
Take the fat skinned from boiled
fowl and let it stand in a cold place
till hard. When solid put It. in hot
water and boil for a short time to re-
fine it. Strain and chill again so that
the fat can be taken up clean aud
hard Used with an equal quantity
of lard and a little salt this makes
fine pie crust. II is also a good sub
stitute for butter in cookies, and cake
especially. when fruit and spices are
used.
i II the regulation icebowl with hole
for drippings is too expensive, try
this for home use: Get a wire Gro
quette basket, with loose wire handle,
which may be removed. Place this in
a fancy bowl of glass or china, using
one that is rounded at the bottom, 50
that there will be a space under the
fiat basket to hold the water Half
the usual quantity Of ice generally
used will be saved. and the basket
keeps bright with very little atten-
tion.
