by the present status. The hospital
has 10 head Of horses, about 20 Hol-
stein cows, some 200 hogs and GOO
chickens. In addition to the tillable
land on the State-owned reservation,
so acres adjoining have been leased
for farming purposes. Much of the
land belonging to the hospital plant is
not suited to cultivation. Such of it
as can be cultivated profitably is un-
der tillage each season now, and more
acres are added each year to the hos
pjtal farm section. There is also an
orchard Of Is acres, growing apples
and peaches, and there are berry
patches, too.
And there is a big garden. This is
highly important adjunct. Philip
Luithlc is head gardener. He has
been employed in that capacity for
about eight years. Phil retired once
and went south, but he came back.
His heart was in the work. If you
doubt that he is boss gardener let
the records of the Missouri State Fair
at Sedalia speak in his behalf. Last
year the garden products grown under
his supervision, virtually all the work
being done by insane patients, took 20
prizes, Theis year they won II priz-
es They also have won awards at
local fairs in Southeast Missouri, in
competition with vegetables grown

Capt. Jaynes Spent Sunday in
Snow Storm on Pixies Peak

After the storm abated the two
travellers found diversion in throwing
snow balls into the herd and frighten-
ing the little animals into jumping
over an abrupt cliff and watching
them light on the tips of their horns
many hundred feet below. When
they tired of this form of amusement
Capt. Jaynes made a real hard ice
ball and hit Mr.. Lightner in the eye
with it.
Then they clinched and both rolled
down the mountain side into a deep
snow drift, When they reached home
they were tired out and nearly froz-
en-, and their wives were so exasper-
ated with them that they sent them
to bed without any suppers. They
both lost their Gear muffs in Their
tussle, and it was the intention of Mr..
Jaynes and Mrs. Lightner to send
them back next morning to find them,
but they relented when their prank
ish husbands whooped with the Group
almost all night and awakened in the
morning hoarse with cold and sick at
the stomach for having taken sqniil.
in such liberal quantities.
They all came back home FEELING
fine, and are determined to max the
/ SAME trip again next summer.

While attempting 20 leave Il street
car at the corner of Frederick and
Good Hops streets last night at about
10 o'clock, Albert Claproth, young
man living in the West section Of the
city, was thrown to the paved
street and dragged nearly twenty
feet.
Bystanders, who witnessed the ac-
cidont, stated that after the car Rad
stopped Mr.. Claproth walked out cn
the platform and Just as he was in
the act of stepping onto the stree.
the car gave a sudden lurch, throw IN
him off his balance and causing hin
to fall.
As he went down his cloth.r
caught on the lower stop and before
ne could release himself the moving
car had dragged or pushed him along
the slippery concrete for quite Il dis
tance.
The motorman a first did not sec
the dangerous position in which his
passenger was being held, and appar,
emily thought that he had left the car
safely. The shouts Of people along
the street attracted his attention and
he stopped quickly after he discover
ed that something had gone wrong.
1t required some effort to free the
coat from its fastening and for sever
al seconds after the car had stopped,
Mr.. Claproth was still held captive.
His head and face was bruised and
disfigured and he received deep cut
in the fleshy part of his thigh. His
knee was also badly wrcnched and
when rescued was unable to walk with
out assistance.
The new suit of clothes he was
wearing at the time of the miSfor-
tune was completely ruined from hay-

filled with thrilling and interesting
mountain climbing experiences in Col

The party spent most of their time
in and around Colorado Springs where
they were joined by resident acquaint

lightful fashion.
Capt. Jaynes says that he feels
many yeas younger as result of his
trip. Last Sunday he and Mr. Light

On their way down they became lost

Richard Sedgwick-I thought to the
last minute it would be neck and

count for such large majority and I
have no idea what had the effect Of

S. W. Jackson-Having been a
voter since President Grants first
election, I have noticed at least
few things. One of them is, in
these local option elections the major
tiles placed to the wet forces come
largely from the fact that about one
third of those wishing to vote for the
drys place a cross on their ballots in
the square marked No, seeming to
think that it refers to no whiskey.

der who served as an officer in the
Civil war, who was determined Just
before the election to mark his ballot
in the No square when he was as
much determined as any one could
be to cast his ballot for the drys,
thinking No meant no whisky.

1t is beyond my power of comprehen-
sion to understand why clean-faced
intelligent young men at this age, will
spend days working for the manufac.
ture and sale of that which robs them
of their God-given faculties, and even
when they do not seem to use very
much of the abomnable stuff, and then
when their party has gained the day
seem to feel they have gained great
point in life, as their actions reveal.
Beware! Young man, this is only a
preparatory state for future living
And he that soweth to the flesh, shall
