Philip could afford TO laugh at the
unfavorable epithets. Up to the age

rate lycee, and his work was super

great culture He spoke French as well
as English. and spoke both admirably
He knew some Greek and Latin, was
well advanced in arithmetic, and had
special penchant for history and
geography,
II was in the glowing articles which
appeared during his Imprisonment that
he took the keenest interest. Oddly
enough. one ingenious correspondent

of the effects of woman suffrage in the
various countries Of the world where it
has been granted operation, The book

With the Vote" From the chapter
dealing with Australia pick out a few
thoughtful extracts:
After six weeks in the East End OF
London, where | earned my living as
organ grinder, costermonger, selling
Towers newspapers and hawking at
Ludgate HILL my. experience increased
my conviction that there are conditions
in the social order of our day which
viii never be removed until the women
OF the country where the evils exist have
the power to help put them down.
1T was generally predicted. in refer
ence to the ballot in the hands of Aus
tralian women. that it would be merely
matter of doubling the vote on each
side. and. therefore would have little
effect upon politics generally.
The women electors ave divided into
two classes: Those who want the vote
and use it and those who regard citi-
ant one at thai. OF the latter, they
and their children are well provided for:
the pangs of poverty, the grind OF never
ending toll and the cattle OF simply
keeping awe ana SldSlIlB on eHTln are
all strange to them. Without any
knowledge OF the laws that govern
women and children, they are quite GER
tain they have all that Is to be desired
/ by way of legislation.
In Australia the party spirit is 50
fierce and bitter that women labor un-
der very great disadvantages in exer-
cisng the vote.

en- did not vote at the last Federal cleo

1t happened. by mere chance, that
since Mrs. Anson's funeral no one had
been inferred on one side of the small
space purchased for her There were
three vacant plots here, and a sur
prised official told Philip there would
be no difficulty in acquiring these for
the purpose of erecting a suitable mons
ument

there and then. 1t was some consola-
ton to know that he could perpetuate
her memory In this way. though he had
formulated another project which should
keep her rame revered through the
ages.

arise the Mary Arson Home for Des-

Bequest for Public Hall

The late James L. Lankford,
who died suddenly at Marshall
while on his way to eat Christ
mas dinner with his brother,
made a bequest of one-ffth OF
his estate for the purpose OF
maintaining forever a public hall
and library at the county seat.
The will stipulates that the build
ing must have a seating capacity
of at least 1,500, shall be built
within two years, shall contain a
library and be under the control
of a corporation to be organized
from among the Confederate
veterans and sons and daughters
of veterans in Marshall and Sa-
line county. Steps have already
been taken to comply with the
conditions Of the will.

May Shoe Cheap Shows

1t is suggested in some quar-
ters that the innovation of NOV.
ing and talking pictures will
have a tendency to drive out OF
business the poor quality of rep
ertoire shows that usually make
the smaller towns, by supplying
voice to the heretofore panto-
mimic actors in the films. This
is a thing to be devoutly hoped
for as it would be far more pleas
ant to pay more to see a good
show than to pay less to see a
poor one. 1t is hoped that bet
ter classes of dramatic perform
ances will be benefited by the
appetite of the public whetted to
a keener appreciation of the bet
ter qualities of the drama.

Note the Increase

The epicure who likes a little
liver and onions once in a while
is certainly forcibly of the pre-
vailing high prices when he
seeks to purchase a little of the
flesh that makes said liver and
onions possible. To tell the
truth there is nothing quite so
delicately delicious as liver and
onions no matter what the re-
suits may be. There is a soul
satisfying essence in the proper
ly fried onions and liver that
can't be beaten the world over.
But, when it comes to getting
the meat, -ah, there's the rub.
Some of the old settlers can re-
member when you could get a
beef liver for nothing, just for
packing it away. Now, it runs
nearly a nickel a slice, and the
slices not too big at that. Any
healthy man can eat a dimes
worth without even getting a
good start, Yes, the cost of
living, especially the luxuries
amounts rapidly.

RANDOLPH

Carl Fainter and Mrs. Mabel
Castle were married January 8
by Justice Elgin.
Mrs. P. D. Blake, son and
daughter, have returned to their
home in Stanberry after a visit
at the home Of friends at Sails
bury, Clifton Hill and Moberly.
Elder Charles Swift, pastor of
the Christian church of Higbee
has accepted a call to the church
at Centralia with a salary of
$1,000 per annum.
Cole George, aged 60 years,
died at his home in the Burton
neighborhood of pneumonia. He
was highly regarded as a citizen
and his death is much regretted
by his numerous friends.
The new engine at the Walton
mine at Higbee has been put in
to commission. It is a big i'm
provement over the old engine
which is to be used for other
purposes than hosting cages.
Garnett Snoddy of Higbee who
was sent to the pen for stealing
and later released on parole was
remanded to the state lookup
for violating his parole. He was
found in Saline county.
W. F. Lay, one of the well
known farmers of Randolph
county, seven miles southeast of
Higbee, died of heart trouble
January Z at 62 years. He had
been in poor health for some
time. He is survived by his
wife and eight children.

Less Gold Mined

The gold-mining industry was
generally normal in 1912, accord
ing to the reports of the u. S.
Geological Survey. But, the ad-
vance indications show that the
output will be the lowest since
1907. The falling off in produc-
ton is due principally to slumps
in production at Gold6eld, the
National and Seven Troughs
Mines in Nevada, where the de-
crease in output was four and a
half millions Of dollars.
