tyranny Of Power.

No citizen can do a higher duty
than to resist the majority when he
believes 1t wrong; to assert the right
of individual judgment, and to main
tain it; to cherish liberty of thought
and speech and action against the
tyranny of his own or any party. TIL
that tyranny, yearly growing more
burdensome as the main object of an
old party becomes more and more the
retention or the regaining OF pow
er, instead of the success of the fresh,
vivid principles on which new parties
are always organized-till that tyranny
is in some measure broken, we shall
get few questions considered on their
merits, and fail-as we are failing
to bring the strong men into the serv'
ice of the state.-Whitelaw Reid.

william Morris and Paul POIret.

We pay homage daily to Paul Poiret
as an apostle of good line and brilliant
color In dress. but the world does not
half know or praise what William Nor
ris did in interior decoration. Working
as did Poiret he banished the superb
cial, artificial. superhuous adornment
OF personal belongings. Down went
the spurious, up came the genuine. un-
der his teachings. And yet, the most
that the many know Of him is that he
gave mis- name to q reclining chair.
The very phrase Nottingham cur.
tains" would discourage him In the
same way as 1t pains Poiret to see a
woman wearing string Of pearls
with tailored suit, as so many hun
dreds OF American women. unfortn'
nately. have habit of doing.

Kirksville Lads Come Back at
Girls Who Signed Up.


Over one hundred boys at the
Kirksville High School who think
that they have as much right to
set up rules as the girls and that it
is a poor rule that will not work
both ways have signed pledge
they will not keep company with
girls who powder, paint, wear hair
rats or chew gum
The ultimatum is worded in the
following solemn phrases:
we, the undersigned, do solemn
ly swear not to keep company with
young ladies who wear powder,
paint, hair rats, or chew gum"
Practically all the boys of the
High school who have had the doc
ument presented to them have
signed and feel that if the girls are
going to reform them by legislating
against cigarettes they will urge
reformation themselves.
The action on the part of the
boys was precipitated by a docu-
ment signed by the girls stating
they would not associate with men
or boys who smoked cigarettes
This was signed by l52 girls and
young women.

The Elliott Mansoleum.

Workmen for the Hannibal Monu-
ment company have just completed
one of the most beautiful and artist
ically designed private mansoleums
for MIR. William H Elliott in Holy
Rosary cemetery to be found in the
state and we might say in the
country. The mansoleum is exquis.
lite in the extreme. mainly for its
plainness. 1t stands twelve feet
long, six feet wide and eight feet
high and is constructed of Bedford
stone throughout.
The foundation extends to a depth
of four feet and the walls are eigh-
teen inches thick and is constructed
of concrete. Upon this massive
foundation rests the mansoleum of
solid Bedford stone ten inches in
thickness. There is an air space of
three inches inside of this outer
wall. and there are four bronze
ventilators placed in this wall.
Then comes another wall of three
inch stone which form the cysts.
There are two cysts, one above
the other. separated by a three
inch slab of stone. making one en-
tirely independent of the other.
The stones forming the front end
of these two compartments are
held in place by expansion bolts and
mortised that they may be hermeti-
cally sealed after the caskets are
placed in position.
The outer front of the cysts is of
Grecian marble. In the center of
each of these marble doors is a
rosette of bronze forming a combin-
alton lock. Around the outer edge
is a strip of marble four inches
wide and one inch thick held in
position by silver screws and must
be removed before the combination
can be worked to release the marble
fronts. The marble is protected
by genuine bronze gate reaching
almost the entire height of the two
compartments.
The front of the structure is ap-
preached by three stone steps. IL
inches wide and 6 inches high.
The roof is composed of two
stones five inches thick and twelve
feet long. with a cap forming the
comb, five inches thick and eight
inches wide running the entire
length of the structure. On the
roof at the front stands cross of
stone q inches high. Is inches
wide and 4 inches thick. forming
the only ornament on the structure.
The name Elliott is made of rails
ed 4-inch letters on the front. The
stone forming the entire mansoleum
has been dressed until it is as
smooth as glass. The structure it.
self is a very elaborate piece oi
mechanical ingenuity and was de.
signed by and constructed under
the personal supervision of Mr.
Elliott. who viewed several cemeter.
les and studied the construction OF
many different styles and the one
that now stands in pretty Holy
Rosary cemetery is the fruit of his
study and toll and will remain fol
all time to come as a monument tC
these progressive and generous
people. L.
