John GoWer,a Monument.

The most interesting monument in
the cathedral upon the possession Of
which Southwark bases her claim to
be a city is perhaps that of Chaucer's
great contemporary, John Cover, re-
marks the London Chronicle. Covers
three great works were written each
In a different language. His "specu.
lum Meditantis" was written In
French, the language of the court; his
"Vox CLAIMANTS" in Latin, the Ian.
guages Of the learned; his third, "The
Confessions Of a Lover" was written
In kings English, at the request of
his king. Richard II.
For the story goes that Cover, row.
Ing on the Thames one day, was hailed
by the royal barge. Book some new
thing" said the king, into which
book ! may often look" No one reads

er's fame has survived, and all who
wish may see him lying today-in
efhgy-in Southwark cathedral, his
head pillowed on his three works.

A western professor said the other
day that he could tell good soil by
tasting it, and a man who saw the
statement promptly packed a box and
sent 1t to him by parcel post. He
also enclosed this note:

eyes are rolled; there is frothing al
the mouth and the teeth, if there are
any, are ground together and may bite
the tongue. In a few minutes the
movements grow less violent and then
cease, and the child begins to cry
or goes into a heavy lseep with its
body rather sitter than usual. Some,
times before consciousness is re.
gained or the rightly disappears,
another spasm occurs, and so the
child may go on from fit to fit un-
til it dies. The whole attack lasts
from n or two minutes to hours.
Treatment must be very prompt.
The child should at once have a hot
bath which should cover it to the
neck, while cold clothes, frequently
renewed, are kept on its head. 1t
must be left in the water for ten min
utes, and then be wrapped in a blan-
ket without drying. Since the attack
may be due to irritating food in the
stomach, the child should be made to
vomit by giving it a ~teaspoonful of
syrup of ipecac or other emetic just
as soon as it is able to swallow. If
the spasm still continues and the doc
tor has not come, the bowel should be
washed out with a large injection of
warm water. Fortunately, the hot
bath and the emetic answer every pur-
pose in most cases and relieve the
attack, sparing the mother the re-
sponsibility of using the injection.
The physician should be called in
all cases as the spasm may be the
beginning of a serious disease which
should have immediate treatment.

reason parents should guard against
the over indulgence of their children
in fruit, especially unripe fruit, candy,
meat, etc.

Thought the Tune Was America.

AT a recent dinner of the Knife and
Fork club the principal speaker was
a noted Serb. The orchestra, in our
tesy to the distinguished guest and to
show American neutrality, played the
national air OF France, which was
duly applauded. The national air of
Germany was received in like manner.
The national air OF England, God

That a certain well known mar
about town who, though married, has
never given up his good time" stunts,
visited a certain rooming house to
have a cold bottle and a quiet chat
with an old time lady friend who is
visiting in the city, and found sitting
over in the corner of the room a brand
new umbrella with his wife's initials
carved on it that he had given her
during the holidays. Now the ques.
ton is-how did it get there? And
upon him asking her for an explana.
ton she switched around and asked
him how did he happen to go there
and find it. We are watching the di,

EASILY

THE writer met a friend Of his
this week, who said it was very I'M
fortunate that the hospital mainten-
snce fund was presented about the
same time the organized charity assoc
citation asked for help to look after
the needy during the winter. Of
course these matters have to be pre-
scented when necessity requires, but
our friend really could not have been
very much embarrassed" because on
looking into the matter we find he did
not give a cent toward either prop
osltion this year or last year or at
any other time; which reminds US Of
the man who would give "all kinds Of
money toward a hospital" but was not
IN favor Of the Library. And since we
have a hospital he has never con-
tributed a cent to 1t.
In the meantime those who are in
favor Of charitable institutions and
uplift movements, must plod along
forgetting those who criticise and find
fault and have various and divers
reasons for never contributing, but
always knocking. Mexico is going to
grow and prosper just the same.

RoosEyELT wILLING cONsCRIpT

New York, December 21.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt as a candidate for the
presidency is willing to lead reunited
Republicans and Progressives in the
1916 campaign, according to a close
friend of his who attained the Gary
dinner last Friday night.
The willingness Of the colonel is
said to be based in what he regards as
the present national emergency in the
matter of preparedness. He will not
seek the nomination and just nov he
is more eager to support Justice
Hughes, former Secretary Of State
Knox or Gov. Hadley Of Missouri on
a platform with preparedness the
main issue, than he is to lead the
fight.
This summary Of Col. Roosevelt's
attitude was from a man of Progress
sive tendencies and it found echo in
a member of the State Republican
Committee, who said: "Col. Roose-
yelt inevitably will be with US in
1916. He may be a still, small voice
in the campaign or he may WELD the
big stick. It depends a good deal on
his temperamental development be-
tween now and then"

MEXICO ELECTRIC TOWN.

THE Santa Fe Electric Railroad
line is bringing a large number of
people to town every day, and our
merchants are noticing the difference.
This shows the Importance Of Mexico
people taking an interest in electric
railroads, and we trust that some day
Mexico will be the electric railroad
center of the state. We believe there
will be electric lines running from
Mexico north to Paris and south to
Fulton and Jefferson City, also one to
Columbia, and that the present line
will be extended to Hannibal. Electric
railroads and automobiles are taking
the place Of horses and wagons when
it comes to the question Of coming to
town to trade.
