WARD ALWAYS A HUMoRlST
Famous American Funmaker Had All
the Elements of His Calling In
His Personality.

One of the greatest American humor-
lists was Charles Farrar Browne, bet
ter known as Artemus Ward. He was
born in the little village of Waterford,
Me-, in 1884, and died in 1867 at the
age of thirty-two. He came from old
Puritan stock, and upon being asked
concerning his origin, he was wont to
reply:
Il think we came from Jerusalem,
for my fathers name was Levi and we
had Moses and a Nathan in the fam
lily; but my poor brothers name was
Cyrus; so perhaps that makes us Per-
SLAMS"
AS a boy the humorist was full of
happy wit and the family was not al
ways spared, says the National Maya
zine. One night coming home in a
driving snowstorm, Artemus went
around the house and threw snowballs
at his brother Cyrus window, shouting
for him to come down quickly. Cyrus
appeared in haste and stood shivering
in his night clothes.
why don't you come in, Charles
The door is OPEN"
"Oh," replied Artemus, II could have
got in all right, Cyrus, but l called
you down because wanted to ask you

Report on AImshousea.

Report on Almshouses.
The almshouse population o. 81 OF
Missouri's ia counties and st. Louis
city, as shown by a report just 10
sued by the State Board OF Charities
and Corrections, is 3,O13, an average
of 81 for each of the 81 counties.
st. Louis city leads with 7S9, and
Jackson county, which includes Kan
sas City, is next, with 1888.
The total cost of maintenance in
the 81 counties in 1915 was $412,734,-
06. The average per county was $4,-
245.99, and the average cost per in
mate for the year was $136.9S.
The report shows that the male in
mates largely exceed females. In st
Louis $50 men and 203 women are
cared for.
In Jackson county there are 31S
men and 20 women. There are twice
as many men In st. Louis and mo
than four times as many in Jackson
county.
There were majorities of women
in Howard, Gentry, Macon, Cooper,
Pike, Mississippi, Dade, Charlton, De
kalb, Barry, Pettis, Caldwell, Monroe,
Usage. Lincoln, Dunklin, Iron and
Wright.
In the average county there are
about two men to one woman. The
chief causes for a larger male popu.
lation are that the relatives will take
care of women more quickly than
men and courts are more willing to
assist women than men.
Men are also less reluctant to en-.
ter almshouses than women, and an
other cause for the lage number OF
males is that many tramps become
inmates.

also over 1918, indicating that the

made public by John T. Fitzpatrick.

ing to know why 317 applicants were
refused naturalization papers, espe

in number in Missouri between 1911
and February 1, 1916, according to
figures obtained from the secretary

In 1911 the total registrations were

Rural Schools Decrease.

Nbi 81 OShOOic
A hodcarrier gets more wages in
Missouri by working half the time
than a teacher in the rural schools.
This statement finds confirmation in
the annual report of State Superin-
tenden Gass for the past year, and
which is now in the hands of the pub
Usher. The average salary paid the
rural teacher for a school year is
1929. The average paid city teachers
is $741 a year.
The superintendent says that sta
tistics for the past five years show
that the rural school population has
been decreasing at the rate of 5000
pupils year, and the attendance at
the city schools has been increasing
at the rate of 5000 year. But a
little more than half of the children
attending the country schools COM
plete the elementary course, as COM
pared with the cities. The country
districts have expended but $24 per
pupil on school buildings, while the
cities have expended five times this
amount The tax levy for the coun-
try child is SO cents per 800 assessed
valuation, and for the city pupil $1.17.
