Am not prude about such things, but
/ do say that nine out OF every ten
who smoke acquired the habit because
when they were young they thought
smoking looked we'll and made them
men. Smoking does not make Il man
Rather it shows Il weakness for lux
ury. There is nothing in smoking
and in many cases it is harmful. A
man does not need tobacco. and he
can be just as cOntented and even
more so without it than be can with It,
There isn't man | know who

artificial stimulantS is an abuse of the

resources, and in the future we are to

1t is impossible to describe the feel

pOrtunity they go into the woods and
learn the great lesson of nature. Big
men who know have written books
on the woods and the animals that live
within these woods. The boy scout is

animals and things about nature i'll Or

There are three degrees which the boy

T EFF BARNES sat on the worm
y fence and idly jabbed at the top
rail with the big blade of his pocket
knife. He was trying to think Of some
thing else to offer. He had already
promised everything which he imagin-
ed might count with a girl. But
evidently none of his promises had
counted, for she received his last with
the same battling, teasing laugh she
did the first.
At the end Of corn row half
mile down the valley Hank Smith
leaned between his plow handles and
tried to think of brand new promise.
SO far, he could think of nothing un-
der the sun except the moon and plan
cts which he had not already prom
ised. Yet in return she had never
promised him. the least little hope
To all his offers she only laughed
elusiye ely and looked QuiZically at him
from the corner of her eyes.
Hank and Jeff were both in love
with Nancy Collins and had been for
two years Hank took her to church
Sunday, JEFF to a picnic Thursday
Jeff drove her to a Sunday school bas-
ket dinner Sunday, Hank paid for the
ice cream and sponge cake at the
social Thursday evening.
Each proposed every time he was
with her, and promised to be, do, give,
or allow something that would add
to her happiness. 1t was new prom
Use when he could think of one, when
he could not, the old ones were used
again. At these times Nancy did not
shut her lips tightly stamp her foot,
and forbid mention of the subject
She laughed, a half earnest, elusive
sort of laugh, and seemed pleased, as
indeed she was. The fact, is, Nancy
loved both of them and nothing either
did or said helped her decide which
she wanted.
Now that each of the young men
felt he had done his best, looked his
best, begged his hardest, and promised
his utmost, yet had not won, he grew
desperate.
At last Barnes went to Smith
Hank, we have got to come to an
understanding"
Pm agreeable" Hanks tone sug-
gested the sweetness of a saw file.
Lets settle it some way proposed
jeff
Pm agreeable" Same tone.
"But how to do it is the question:"
Jeff was puzzled.
Eyes, that's the question"
"The best man ought to win," de-
clared Jeff.
yep"
Then they discussed a long time
what was the best man whether the
fellow who could whip, run fastest,
work the most, had the most money,
or the fewest sins to his credit.
Seems to me-" finally concluded jeff,
"the best man is the one that can
make her happiest." Hank admitted
the truth of this But how will we
decide that?"
LET us leave it to Aunt Margaret"
proposed Jeff. Aunt Margaret was the
great aunt of both-the young men
being second cousins. The old lady
was the family counselor for all the
Smiths and Barneses. She had enough
Irish to give her a sharp wit.
1t was so agreed. They would lay
the case before Aunt Margaret and
abide her decision.
81 have a good farm and can give
her plenty said jeff
$50 have IT, said Hank.
81 have promised her she shall have
a hired girl all the time" continued
jeff, land will never have to work
unless she wants to"
$50 have l." nodded Hank.
"Pve told her ! will never speak
cross nor be in a bad temper when
things go wrong. announced JET.

A Irue Fish Story

This is a fish story but out Of the
ordinary. Usually you hear the men
talkiug about their skill in catching
big fish but when simmered down the
whale" usually turns out tiny
minnow.
This story however, from Mrs. John
McClaren and Mrs. 0. w. Sparkf can
be truthfully accepted as the gospel
truth;
Hear the boys coming, Are anx'
ious to know what they caught to day.
Yesterday they caught "a Of them
John caught IA, and Of 10; all good,
big ones. We are enjoying every
minute Of our time. Such good eats!
and rests! We are going to float
with the boys soon. Oh! they have

bulk in Kansas City every day since
last Tuesday. Extreme necessity OF
killers for supplies, coupled with small
receipts, defeat efforts TO keep prices
down. Lambs sold 10 to 20 lower to-
day, teceipts 1900 head in the sheep
division. Utah lambs, "a lbs average,
brought SIS to-day, which price is
the top on western lambs in Chicago
to-day. Wetheis sold at 500, ewes
$50. Good feeding lambs would sell
at 700, but so far this season packers
have taken the western offerings with
such light sorts that few feeders have
been available. Feeding stock will be
more pledtilul from this time forward.

My good friend Baily; Please send
this weeks Republican TO above ad'
dress. As promised, here are few
items about our trip.
We got up our anchor and made sail
from Forsyth last Friday and we cracked
on all the sail FelkinS had and made
the dam in good time in fact, arrived
there before our steamer or power boat
got in from BraDson. Had very nm
eventiul trip up the lake. Had some
cross rips and some head wind and
when we met passing steamers and got
their swell, it was quite rough and Old
Nal de Mer started to come aboard,
but we turned him down, as had in
former years enough Of his company.
We arrived in Branson safely and had
a course dinner at the Bees all in
the hive on Branson avenue. Then
took look about the city. Got some
what confused at the congested inter
sections OF some OF the streets, but the
traffic officers were right onto their job
and so we got by the autos, mules and
trolleys in safety, Took the high flier
OF the Ozarks at about p. m. Bought
transportation for four OF US and Bo,
the dog, 10 Kansas City. Paid SIC ior
the dog and check on his neck. Al
Carthage we had to lay over quite a
while. The traffic manager had failed
to make the right combination, some
how, but finally left at 1886 a. m. or
Saturday. In the meantime Bo, the
dog, was anchored to trunk in the
baggage room. ! happened 10 look il
to see how he was getting on, when I
young man with brass plate on hi
cap gave me to understand that if tha
was my dogg;e he could not go farthe
without a muzzle. So we had to hot
foot down TO the town about mill
after p. m. to find one. Caught
hardware man just locking up his store
He seemed to have a lot Of feeling 10
Bo and found US nice muzzle. W
then went TO the eating place near b
and had corned beef and cabbage
our mind; but anyway, we left ou
little stipend and came back and ftte
t the muzzle onto Bo, and all SCENE
: TO be serene. Got a berth for Mr.
, Porter and Kathryn. Porter and tb

Some party or parties have been
scattering poison around town the past
DAYS and have killed several dogs.
There are a large number Of dogs in
town that ought to be killed. but that
is mighty poor way Of doing it. 1t
would be a good thing TO take shot
gun and 90 out and kill about half the
dogs on the town site, but man who
will scatter poison about indiscrminately
is taking very great chances Of valuable
animals or even Of some small child
getting it.

day on business.

! from the town who are here. On
Tuesday evecing, after fishing for six
days Mr.. Sparks and Mr.. McClaren
had one hundred and fifty nice fish
to their credit, and are still on the
river takiug more Of them every day,
This town is not so well advertised a:
some other places, but for good fishing
and good accommodations it canno
be beat in southern Missouri.
