His experience in Bollinger county

find that rivalry between Marble

mighty unwisc road work. One town

MIR. Buffum Reports on Roads.

F. w. Buffum, state highway COM
missioner, drove in Sunday night from
a trip over the roads from st. Louis.
He spent the forenoon in this city call
ing on several of his acquaintance.
Mr.. Buffum said he had started the
present trip to Keoknk and is check
ing up the road from that city to the
Arkansas line. He is encouraging
the early completion of the north and
south road from Keokuk to Hot
Springs. A rock highway is already
built from Minneapolis and st. Paul
to Keokuk, so it will soon be possible
to travel on d rock road from the Min
esota cities to Hot Springs. p
Mr.. Buffum says there are less
than 40 miles of road to be built be-
tween Keokuk and st. Louis and
much of this road is now being
worked on. The road from st. Louis
to Pennington is in good shape, there
being only one short stretch that is
not built. From Ste. Genevieve to
Perryville the road is bad. Mr.Buf-

LAST OF THE TIGERS
With the Death of John Burke, tn,
Regiment Roll IL Mustered Out

Near Liberty, Mo. on Thursday,
hundred Of farmers and their wives
and children and business men from
the county seat and other nearby
towns gathered at a little country
church to pay last tribute Of respect
to the memory of John Burke, who
passed away "A day or so previously.
The funeral was such as is held in
many communities Of Missouri every
day Of the year, but behind thus par
ticuar funeral is a story Of brave
man and fearless fight for the honor
of the Southland and later with the
world and with it there passed back to
the earth from whence il came all
that was mortal f the last of the
famous Louisiana Tigers, regiment
that was in every important battle of
the Civil War and which gave heroes
by the score to the Lost Cause.
The fame Of these Tigers has been
sung in story and songs, and with IT
this little story has little to do, its
mission being simply TO emphasize a
peculiar coincidence that marked the
passing Of the last of these noted
warriors, the last two to go, living
within five miles Of each other in "a
spot far removed from whence the
regiment was recruited.
The Tigers won their name because
of their ferOCity in battle and it has
been said Of them that they gave
more lives to the south than any other
regiment, being in the ficrcest of the
first fray after being recruited at
New Orleans and always being found
in the thickcSt Of each succeeding bat
tie
At the close of the war, the few
left scattered TO the far corners of the
earth, and among them two found
their haven in Clay county, although
their coming to Missouri had no con
nection whatever. Each pursued the
even tenor Of his chosen way, the
one to wax wealthy through various
mercantile enterprises and the other
to live but comfortably among his
chosen people. never amassing great
amount Of money, but laying up scores
of rich jewels in the hearts of his
fellowmen by kindly good deeds anc
unostentious acts of charity.
Less than half dozen years ago
John Moran, who had acquired wealth
in Liberty, passed away, and on Q
monument in Metarie cemetery al
New Orleans. was inscribed the date
of death Of the next to the last OF
the Tiger survivors, and with the pas

Navy-Surrenders.
A. u. Nations, editor of the Oran
Tribune, has turned out to be de-
sertcr from the United States Navy,
which he joined in 1909 and deserted
in 1911, two ears later, and the other
day returned to Washington and gave
himself up. Arriving in Washing
ton, he was met by Congressman Joe
J. Russell, who accompanied him to
tho Navy Department. OF course
Nations must face Il court martial,
but it is thought his punishment will
not be severe. The cause of his sur
rendering at this time was on account
of having been discovered, and being
certain that his arrest would follow
in very short time. The first ex-
posure came from himself, when he
conhded his secret in some supposed
friends. Later, he became involved
in a newspaper controversy with the
Sikcston Standard, with which paper
he was formerly an employee His
friends betrayed him to the editor of
the Standard, who in turn exposed
him in print. Nations had procured
license to marry young lady in

Four Years.

Frank Kenney will spend Christ
mas at home and will probably be
heard in concert before he returns to
New York, where he now is singing
in the opera of Sari, where he has
three weeks stand. He signed with
this company while in New York City
last winter with the De Wolf-Hopper
Opera Co., singing main parts in the
Pirates Of Penzance, Mikado, Pinafore
and volanthe. He had fourteen
weeks engagement with this company,
leaving Chicago January IL, and sing
ing in all the large cities. His work
so far has been success. His fine
personality and wonderful stage pres
ence has counted much.
This will be the first Christmas he
has spent at home for four years,
since he started studying in Chicago.
His teacher secured for him a place
as usher in the Auditorium theatre,
Chicago, during grand opera season,
that being an education in itself. He
sacrificed his Christmas at home
that he might take advantage of this
chance to learn from stars.

Skin TELLS Tale.


The skin of chicken will tell the
housewife whether the bird has been
properly dry" picked and "air
chilled" or whether it has been
"scalded" in order to remove the
feathers. The skin Of a dry-picked
chicken is flexible, translucent, with
the feathers papfllae plainly visible and
contains short hairs which have to be
removed by singeing. II the chicken
has been scalded, the skin Is hard
thick, close to the muscles under
meath and almost free from these
hairs. The skin Of dry-picked chick
en- which has been chilled in water
has lost the powdery look which is
characteristic and Is shiny, thicker
than when air chilled, and it is
scarcely possible to see the pink
muscles underneath as one should be
able to do. A water chilled chicken
is also a fraud to the buyer because
it absorbs water, which is charged
for at chicken prices.
Housewives should insist on a dry
picked chicken, because any wetting
of chicken, and especially ecalding
lessons or destroys the delicate fla
vors of the meat.
