best way to gain control is To get

more effective. Learn one curve at a

To the Sweet Memory of E. B.
Buckingham by His
Children

Home'is now bereft and lonely,
There's a face we cannot see,
Tis the face of dear old father,
Gone to spend eternity eternity.
Today, dear father, we are SO
sad and ill,
Yet humbly we bow to the good
Masters will,
We know you are happy and you
wanted to go,
While we are so sad, and we
miss you so.
We know you are there with the
Angels so dear,
Singing the songs that you so
loved to hear,
You are happy with Jesus, Peter
and Paul,
For we stood by your bed and
heard you talk to them all.
Father, dear father, how did we
know
That you'd be the first among US
to go?
For you were the link that held
us together,
In sunshine and rain and all
sorts of weather.
Father, O father, me miss your
sweet face,
We miss your dear form all over
the place.
We look in the garden, thinking
you're there,
We look on the porch in the old
rocking chair.
But we find it so empty there's
no father there,
And we always will cherish the
old rocking chair,
And we love the brass cot where
you rested so much,
We love everything that you
ever did touch.
Dear old feeble mother, OH
she misses you too,
In every nook and corner she's
looking for you,
She misses your kiss and kindly
voice,
She weeps at your going g-but
the angels rejoice.
Our weeping and looking and
sorrowing so,
Will not bring you back, dear
father, we know,
But how can we help ito, we
wish that we knew,
With all our devotion-God loved
you too, land called you
home.
Our own, absent father, we have
sorrows to bear,
While you are so happy with the
Savior up there.
You will not come back to this
sinful old earth,
But spend eternity in heaven,
among glad songs and mirth.
We are glad that you are happy
up there with the throng.
For you bore your suffering,
heroic and long,
And we fancy we see in the
mystic beyond,
The hand of the Savior leading
you on.

ARRESTS 7. TATUM
AT PORTACEVILLE
". ]. Seagraves Goes After Boy
Wanted For Check Job
In Cape.

Tom Tatum, scion of a family form
erly well known in Southeast Missouri,
yesterday was arrested in Portageville
and held for the authorities in the
Cape on charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, by cashing two
checks in the Cape when he had no ac-
count in the bank against which he
checked.
Deputy Sheriff w. J. Seagraves
early this morning departed for Por-
tageville to bring Tatum back to the
Cape. Seagraves has warrant for
Tatum's arrest issued on the complaint
of H. H. Haas, of the St. Charles
Pharmacy, where one of Tatum's
checks was cashed.
He is expected to arrive in the Cape
this afternoon with his prisoner. Sea-
graves received word of Tatum's ar
rest late yesterday afternoon from the
police in Portageville.
Tatum had entered a store in Por-
tageviIle to make some purchases. He
offered in payment for his bill of
goods check for SIS on the Sturdi-
want bank in the Cape.
The proprietor of the store took the
check to the cashier of the Portageville
bank, who in turn called the Sturdivant
bank by long distance telephone and
asked if the check was good.
Mr.. Haas had given all the Cape
banks notification of the check he had
received and when the call from Por-
tageville came, the banker there was
told to have the marshal arrest Tatum
for the Cape police.
The merchant returned to his store
with the marshal and found Tatum.
Tatum submitted to his arrest without
a word.
He arrived in the Cape on January
81 and registered at the st. Charles
Hotel, where he ran up bill of $14.5O.
Monday he ordered a fifty cent pre-
scription at the st. Charles Pharmacy

cover the amount of his bill. Moore
refused to accept the check after learn
ing that the man had no account in
the Sturdivant Bank, on which it was
drawn, and held his baggage, a suit

ressn1an Finds
Three Mice In
His Right Boot
Albert Runnels Uncovers Foot
On Street and Lets Rodents
Out After They Had Tick
led His Toes.

Albert Runnels, a colored pressman
at The Tribune office, yesterday morn
ing unintentionally took three mice
away from his home on South Sprigg
street in his right boot.
1t happened this way: Albert's
alarm clock fell asleep during the
night and when the hour came for it
to awaken the head Of the house, there
was nothing doing. Thirty minutes
later, his eyes opened without any
persuader and he glanced at the clock.
The half hour that he had oversight
had to be made up in dressing and get
ting away. He slipped into his cloth
ing Ike a city fireman, snatched a
few bites Of breakfast and started for
fhc Office.
He was walking rapidly and had
gone more than block from his home
when he was startled by wiggling
sensation in the toe of his right boot.
He pasued, movedhis toes, and actually
jumped when he felt something fid-
ding with his large toe It felt like a
cockleburr.
He leaned against the fence and re-
moved the boot. He looked at his
toes, but discovered nothing. A glance
down the boot revealed a mouse.
Get out of there, you little rascal"
said Albert as ne tipped the leg of tie
boot. The mouse complied. The little
rodent hoped out and scurried away
under the sidewalk.
Albert then started to draw on the
boot and saw another mouse. "Beat
itw he shouted down his leg, and
mouse No. two jumped out and ran as
hard as it could for a hole under the
walk.
Once more the pressman started to
shove his foot back into the boot when
he saw the third mouse "Hey! What
do you want down there?" he demand
ed. "Get out and take all of your
friends with you"
Mr.. Mouse leaped out and landed on
the walk. Albert hurled club at the
little rodent as it dived into hole. He
then turned his boot upside down and
shook it vigorously. Then he showed
his foot in to it and hurried to the
office.
He believes the mice would have
remained quiet, if the air in the boot
had not become contaminated.
