SENATOR REED AREAL NATIONAL
LEADER.

The masterful speech delivered by Missouris matchless
junior senator, Hon. Jas. A. Reed, in the United States Senate
a few days ago, reviewing the constructive work OF the WI
son administration is attracting nation wide attention. Mr..
Reed is one of the cOuntrys recognized big men and IS growing
daily in the estimation of the people everywhere. He is never
superficial. He talks only when he has something to say-has
a message of real value to the masses.
The following kilograms and letters concerning the speech
referred to, are unusual compliments.
Hon. Vance C.. Mccormick, Chairman OF the National
Democratic Committee wired Senator Reed as follows:
81 want to congratulate you upon the splendid speech you
made in the Senate. l am instructing our publicity department
to make good use of it. We are all grateful to you for the
splendid effort"
Hon. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson,
writes: Il want you to know that l read every word OF your
speech. Itis a great campaign document and ought to be made
use of. am sorry it came at the time when the country is so
much interested in the strike. 1t is a complete and unanswer--
able argument in every way, and / congratulate you upon 1t"
Hon. W. g. McAdoO, secretary of the treasury, member
of President Wilson's cabinet, writing from Spring Lake, New
Reed. He says: Il want to congratulate you heartily on your
splendid speech in the Senate on August 29th on The Record
of Democratic legislation You have presented the facts
compacty and irresistably. 1t is one Of the most convincing
get wide circulation, l have written National Chairman Nc
Cormick today suggesting that it be widely circulated that it
be widely circulated by the National Committee"
This recognition over and above every other national
speaker, is not only a personal compliment to Senator Reed, but
one in which every Missourian has a part. 1t means some
thing for the State to be represented in the greatest deibera-
tive body in the world by a man who measures up to the high
est standard in craftsmanship.
Aggressive, fearless, a clear thinker, a splendid orator,
Senator Reed is recognized as essentially an advocate and de-
fender Of the soundest legislation, in finance and in business,
to give an equal chance to all, big and little.
He stands for rational development of our resources, eX-
pansion Of our industries, never forgetting the welfare of the
man in the shop, the man on the farm, the man in the street.
Only the predatory Interests" are his foes.
In the Senate of the United States he looms large as a
power for great and genuine democracy.

A TWICE-TOLD TALE


One of Interest to our Readers.
Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesita-
ted to believe it at first hearing,
we feel secure in accepting its
truth now. The following ex-
perience of a Lexington man is
confirmed after five years.
c. S. Mitchell, farmer, Lex
ington, says: my kidneys. troub-
led me and my bladder gave me
annoyance. One of our best
physicians didn't help me. Al
times l found it hard to control
the kidney secretions. Nothing
benefited me until l got Doan's
Kidney Pills at Crenshaw and
Young's Drug Store. They
strengthened my kidneys in a
short time"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER
Mr.. Mitchell said: 81 haven't haC
any kidney or bladder trouble
since l used Doan's Kidney Pills
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-tht
same that Mr.. Mitchell has
twice publicly recommended

In this regard, it might be
said, that by feeding the bees on
certain kinds of flowers, a var
iety of colored honey can be OBJ
tanned. Realizing this, a clever
beekeeper has made a county
map of Missouri, showing all of
the ia counties in different
colors of honey.
Modelling in wax will also be a
feature in this department.
Busts of the two presidential
candidates, Woodrow Wilson and
Charles Evans Hughes, will be
there, modelled in wax.

APIARY DISPLAY TO BE
MISSOURI FAIR FEATURE
All Stages of Bee Industry Will
Be Shown at Sedalia.

Bookkeeping is becoming a
profitable sideline for the Mis-
souri, farmer and many are 60
ing extensively into bee culture
and finding that when the bees
are kept right and given the
same attention that is given to
other branches of farm industry
that they pay very well. Mis-
souri, has plenty of flowers from
which the bees can gather
sweetness, and honey always
finds a ready market.
Those who are interested in
this industry should not miss
the apiary display at the Mis-
souri, State Fair at Sedalia, Sept.
1880. All stages of bee culture
will be shown, from the wild
bees in their native state to
those bees that are raised for
profit on the Missouri farm.
One of the interesting features
in this department at the Fair
this year will be a "bee-tree,'
which is a hollow trunk of a tree
that a colony of wild bees con-
fscated for their store house.
This display will be trans
ported from independence, Mo-,
where it was discovered by a
farmer, and will be placed in a
glass case through which the
visitors can see these busy little
creatures as they are in their
natural environment.
In the display Of domesticated
bees, there will be a number OF
glass hives where the bees car
be observed as they work on var
ious models. There will also be
a number of exhibits showing
the kinds of honey that are Sc
cured from various Missouri
flowers.

cured in sixty days.

more operation for appendicitis,
gall stones, tumors, goiter, piles,
etc., as all cases accepted will be
treated without operation or n.y.
podermic injection, as they were
among the first in America to
earn the name of "Bloodless
surgeons" by doing away with
the knife with blood and with
all pain in the successful treat
ment Of these dangerous dis
eases.

had with other physicians, it will

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. PHocAs, MARTYR.

st. Phocas was Il gardener, VINO cul-
tivated a small piece of land near
Sinope in Pontus, about the year 800
| He gave to the poor what he could
spare from the fruits of his toll his
house was open to every wayfarer, and
| he spent the last evening of his life in
entertaining the men who sought his
blood. His was time when the
heather rulers hunted everywhere for
| the lives of Christians, and Phocas,
| in spite of his humble condition, was
| known for his virtues. The lietors
who were sent in quest of him were at
| lost to find his house, and they came
for food and shelter, not dreaming it
was his. He gave them hospitality
with his usual readiness, and when
he asked their .errand, they answered
that they were looking for Phocas,
and begged his help. The servant of
God invited them to rest there over
night, promising to be their guide next
day. After they retired to rest he dug
his own grave, made everything ready
for his burial and prepared his soul
| for death.
When the morning broke, and the
| lictors, ready to set out again, asked
his assistance to find Phocas, 81" said
the Saint, lam he; do what you have
to do" In spite Of their amazement
and horror at having to stain their
hands with the blood of their host,
they obeyed the order given them
They severed his head from his body,
and rewarded him unawares for his
hospitality by procuring him the mar
tyr's crown.
The head of st. PhOcas was pre-.
served at Rome, parts of his relics
were placed in other churches, and
devotion to him spread all over the
| world. The sailors on the Black Sea
and the Mediterranean chose him as
their special patron. The Saint often
| came to help them in their need, and
they preserved by pious and touch
| ing custom the memory of his special
virtue. Day by day on their voyage
they used to set aside a portion OF
each meal for the martyr, nor would
they touch it themselves until they
! had laid by the small coin which was
it's equivalent. On reaching port they
| distributed the whole sum thus col
lected among the poor.

THE LIFTED HAT.
(EIeanor c. DonneIIy.)

At dawn, along a lonely street,
Thro' winds and whirling snow,
Unto his toll with hurrying feet,
l watched poor man go.
His threadbare garments 'gainst the
cold
Were sad defence, I fear;
But bravely pressing on-behold!
Our Lady's Church stood near.
And, as he pass'd where Jesus sat
Upon His altar-throne,
The poor man raised his rusty hat,
And hailed the Hidden One.
What secret prayer was on his tongue
What reverence in his heart,
while his rapt soul it's incense flung
To Him Who dwells apart)-
No man can say-God only knows
The prayer conceived or said:-
Few save the angels saw him pause
With meek, uncovered head.
Yet did his act more faith declare
Than schoolmen's tones profound,
A speaking Faith and Love were
there,
Tho lips gave forth no sound;
And heavens court with splendour
blazed,
And angels gan to sing,
When his torn hat, the poor man
raised,
To hail his hidden King!
o tender Heart of Christ, our Lord!
Perchance that gesture mute
More glory on Thine altar poured
Than might a Kings salute.
Perchance the guileless piety
Of thine unletter'd poor
Is sweeter, dearer far to Thee
Than angels worship pure!
