A number Of good and loyal Repub
licans, who did not relish Mr.. Trim
kle's speech, said they would like to
have asked him one or two questions.
1t was their privilege to do 50. They
would have received civil and intel
ligent answer. However, Mr.. Trinkle
gave Mr.. Slemp the privilege to oc-
cupy the platform with him in this
campaign, when any question could
have been asked and answered. But
Mr.. Slemp declined "the honor" of
joint debate.

,on on the Charlton river twol

There is q tom bstone In Orient
cemetery at Harrisonville that
puzzles the local scientists. The
tombstone consists OF . pedestal
on which rests a ball of granite
two feet in diameter. With the
exception OF the spot that rested
on the pedestal the ball wasgiven|
a high polish. Now the ball has
turned until the unpublished spot
has moved about one.sixtyfourth
OF the distance of the complete

matician ascertained the exact
hour the monument was set and

ball will make one complete rev.

Another argument in smoking
a pipe is seen by the Fulton Sun
in Columbia incident. A Slater
man was in Columbia as a wit.
ness in law suit. While sitting
in front OF the Boone county
courthouse smoking his pipe .
wagon passing in the street ran
over a cartridge, exploding It.
The ball from the cartridge struck
the pipe, loosening two OF the
Slater mans teeth, then deflect-
ing harmlessly. Had he not been
smoking he might have been
killed, argues the Sun. As a
matter of fact, had he not been
smoking he probably would not
have been sitting on the steps
outside the courthouse.
