"Flentge and Regenhardt went down
to Sikeston the day before the con-

what they did then that we could not
overcome. Everyone of us worked
hard, but We could do nothing after
what already had been said.

in the vote between Sullivan and Ulen.
Rage went to lis friends half hour
after the special train had pulled into
Sikeston and said Harrison was de-

their fight through the morning and

The LITTLE GENTLEMAN
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

Nurse, / believe I am the patient
for Room IT,
There was an immediate pause in
all the activities of the ward as the
little man who had spoken these
words stood at the door and looked
smilingly toward Miss Rensham, the
night superintendent.
He had the most charming and the
most intellectual face that Miss Rem
sham had ever seen. He was about
eight and twenty years of age. The
forehead betokened thoughtfulness,
the head was fine in the best sense of
the word. But the stature was only
five feet, and the body was misshapen.
The doctors had told the nurses Of
the forthcoming operation. It was the
most romantic thing that had ever
happened in the hospital. When the
little gentleman was safely in bed the
night superintendent talked with his
special nurse, Miss Ray.
ut wrings my heart" she said. "I'd
like to SEQ, I'd just like to see the
woman who's going to let him suffer
like that for her"
"But she doesn't know" answered
Miss Ray.
"Of course she knows. He's trying
to hide it, to shield her. She must be
a worthless woman. Why, he is a
dear-just a little DEAR"
Miss Rensham dabbed at her eyes
with her handkerchief. Miss Ray
shifted and blinked. Both women felt
touched at the thought of the little
cripple who was to be made straight
by the most delicate operation in the
world, in order that he might feel

The Pussy Live-Wire
VS.. The Plugger.

In these days Of intense COM
mercial and industrial competi-
ton there is growing tendency
to mistake noise for efficiency,
bombast for brains. It is the day
OF he fussy live-wire, the man
who attalns a measure of prom
inence by the noise he makes,
even though the thinking public
witnessing his wild gyrations in
the limelight is prone to measure
his real worth by his egotism.
The fussy live-wire arises in the
morning, shoots off a few pyro-
technics to announce his august
presence, then proceeds to bore
everybody unfortunate enough to
come into contact with him. He
may do little business, probably
does, but in many cases it is bus
mess that is unsatisfactory to his
customer. Some of it may be Civ
en- with a view to obviating the
possibility of being talked to
death. The fussy live-wire is an
egotist of the most pronounced
type, generally a man who has a
tendency to NEEDLE in things
which do not concern him and U.s.
ually prolific in advice as to how
the other fellow should operate
his business.
In direct contrast to the fussy
live-wire is the man who goes
about his affairs with confidence
in the equity and value Of his
proposition and with full appre-
citation of the rights Of others. He
is not a fusser in any sense Of the
word. He does not presume to
tell other people how to conduct
their business, but dtvotes his en-
tire energies to his own affairs.
He has a definite object to attain
and he seeks to attain it by in
spring confidence rather than by
a continual and nauseating play
to the galleries. He constructs
for the future rather than for the
present and is perfect
ly willing to sacrifice present
profit in favor of future, substan-
tia1 gain. His work is conscien-
tious and painstaking. He builds
on a foundation of confidence,
right and justice-and succeeds.
The live-wire fusser may be lik-
ened unto the skyrocket. It may
be brilliant during it's short life
but it doesn't last. It is nothing
but a stick, a pinch Of powder
and little paper. The conscien-
tious "plugger,'' although with ;
out any particular brilliance, Lives
his life in the radiance of con-
tinued achievement and steady
progress. His is the real success.

Intervention Without
Annexation.

There can be no convincing an
swer to the proposition that it is
the duty of the United States to
restore order in Mexico and to in
tervene for that purpose. But we
ought not to annex that country
or any part thereof, rightfully as
serts the New Orleans American.
Too many American lives have
been lost and too much of our
property has been destroyed in
the turbulent republic across the
Rio Grande for us to suffer the
state of anarchy there and the
constant revolutions and counter
revolutions to continue. More pa
thence, it has been amply proved,
would result merely in the muir
der of more Americans and the
footing and burning of more Of
our property.
The question of annexation,
however, is an altogether differ
ent one. The American believes
that the annexation of Mexico, or
any part thereof, by conquest or
by purchase, would be contrary
to the genius of our institutions.
The nation that is the United
States stands for liberty. The
Declaration of independence
breathes the spirit Of freedom. 1t
lays down the principle that
lust government derives its
powers from the consent of the
governed. Lincoln made Jetfer-
son s dictum still more clear when
he stated that "no man is good
enough to govern another man
without that mans consent.
There is no getting away from
this ethically. We can not right
fully hold Mexicans in subjec-
ton. We do not want to admit
the Mexican states into the
Union. If we undertake to hold
them as territory, their status
would really be that of provinces
which are compatible with an en-
pire, but not with a republic.

ARTISTS" COME
TO SORROW LAST NIGHT
Fnday's Daily.

Fridays Daily.
Two white men, strangers, and
well dressed, giving their names
as w. E. Birmingham and j. w.
Corley, imbibing too freely of
John Barleycorn, created quite a
disturbance at the union station
last night, causing a late session
of court in Mayor WARMERS Of
flee.
The two men were preparing to
60 to Washington, d. G. One of
them, Mr.. Corley, became very
boistrous and when asked to con-
troll himself and get quiet, pro-
ceeded to overrule night police,
w. G. Dixon.
The stranger hooked up" with
Police Dixon, and the cop pro-
ceeded to "unhook' him. The
affair resulted in words passing
between the two men, and Police
Dixon was forced to use his club.
Corley was placed in custody
until arrangements could be made
for trial, and Mayor Warmer
called court at once.
Policemen Dixon and Busby
brought the men forward and
Birmingham plead guilty to the
charge of drunkenness, and Cor
ley to profanity. Both appologlz-
ed to the officers.
Another white man, whose
name was not given, was also ere
ating a disturbance at the station
during the night and was arrest
ed by the officers.
