The married life of most birds can
be taken for model by members of
the human family. For instance, the
staid, dignifed and homely baldhead-
ed eagle never mates but once and
lives with his one mate until he or
she dies. If left a widower-even a
young widower-the baldheaded eagle
never mates again. He remains alone
and disconsolate in the nest of the
rocky craig or in the branches of a
tall pine that formed his domicile
while his mate was alive. No other
female eagle can tempt him to for
sake his desolate life. With him once
a widower, always a widower. The
golden woodpeckers live in happy
married state, mating but once. If
the male dies his mates grief is last
ing, and she remains a widowed bird
the rest of her life.-Ex.

Martha's Heart Sank.

Martha had little difficulty in ''look-
ing up" the catalogue as the house
seemed full of them, and after critical
ly examining the suit pictures simple
blue took her fancy. The description
correspondent with her idea of what she
wanted; the trimming looked neat and
of good quality. The price was salts
factory, so after debating for some lit
tie time she decided to send for it. A
draft was forwarded, and the long vigil
pending the arrival of the suit was as
depressing upon John as upon Martha
At last it came-express bill and all
and eagerly the box was opened and
the suit laid on the bed for inspection.
It did not quite measure up to the pro-
portions Of the picture in the cata-
logue. The color was not good There
was too much coat and not enough
skirt. and, besides, the skirt was not
draped as the advertisement said. 1t
just hung, and hung uneven at that.
The work was not neat; the trimming
was of cheap, snowy quality, scant
and inferior. Martha's beart sank to
zero. She knew she would be asham-
ed to wear that suit at home, much
less among her well dressed friends.
What was she to do? She needed a
suit badly, but she realized that to
attempt an exchange would result as
disastrously as in the first place, and
she could i'll afford another new one.
Defects More Pronounced.
The longer Martha had the suit the
more numerous and pronounced be-
came Its defects, until at last her pride
rebelled, and she refused longer to
wear the miserable parody. She said
she would much prefer to wear a
good old suit than a "poor' new one.
For with the poor new one she was
conscious and ashamed when she felt
any one looking at her or her suit
Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver held a con-
sultation. after which Mrs. Weaver de-
clared that never again in her life
would she buy anything from a pic
ture or from catalogue house
Amen said John. I'VE have had
our lesson. Had you bought that gar
ment from any of our local merchants
and 1t proved unsatisfactory he would
have insisted on your exchanging it or
refunding to you your money"

While at work on his farm near
Weingarten cutting down trees Gran
vile Lunsford lost his life on Satur-
day of last week. He was knocked to
the ground by the butt of falling
tree, which rolled across his neck and
checked him to death. He is survived
by his wife, one daughter and five
sons, and was about 81 years of age.

If we had the remaking of some of
our fellowmen, we would first work
out the streak of yellow that is in
the clay, watch carefully for blow
holes, particles of dirt and other for
eign matter, and when they were ready
to be put out into the sun to dry we
would try to instill into the body,
among other things, honor, integri-
ty and the rights of others-Sikeston

The False Step.


"Well, what do you want to do-run
into the city and get you suit?'
asked John.
"No. That does not suit me either,
for when I have to pay my fare. my
hotel bill and other incidental expenses
it makes the cost too high and also
takes more time than / can spare for
the purchase of one suit" said Martha.
Gould you not order one? Didn't l
see some mail order catalogues around
here awhile ago" asked the interested
husband
"Yes; could do that, but 1 am al
most afraid to risk it. Still. their
styles appear to be good, and the prices
quoted seem reasonable. l have been
thinking about doing that will look
them up again and see what can do"
answered Martha.

The following is an extract from
c. G. divers story of the Farming
ton Press Meeting, which appeared
in the jackson Cash-Book last week:
There were several absent whose
names appeared on the program.
Among them was Brother Grove of
the Dexter Statesman, who was sched-
uled for the invocation and for a ten
minute talk on pep" in the newspa-
per. Owing to the forethought of J..
Harvey Burgess, late of Morehouse,
but now of Harrington, Delaware, it
was probably well that Bro. Grove was
absent. j. Harvey, with Characters
tic precaution, had sent to A. w.
Bradshaw at Pennington good
muzzle, with the request that it be
fitted on Bro. Grove. Bradshaw is
physically of a husky type, and he in
all probability would have carried out
the instructions to the letter.
The following extracts are from the
story of the editorial meeting in Farm
ington recently, taken from the Iron
ton Enterprise:
harrington is one OF the most
beautiful towns in this corner of the
State, and has more good people, ac-
cording to the population, than any
other place in the world, and that fact
had much to do with the splendid re-
port that has gone out. 1t was much
regretted, both by the people of
Pennington and the editors that a
number who were expected were not
able to be present. = The auto
mobile trip was a great one, and it
was wonder to the visitors. The
mines, the splendid roads, the mag
nifcent homes all along the way, the
busy people and the extensive bus
mess done in St. Francois county
almost stagger the Imagination.
Thousands of men at work, with a
payroll running up close b or above
$20,000.00 a day is simply immense.

LIFE DIARY OF MRS. WEAVER
Her Experience Was Very Sad One.
Never Again for Martha.

She Brings Shame and Ridicule Upon
HerseIf-Husband a Willing Ac-
compIice-They Both Were Taught
a Lesson That Will Last Them Their
Entire Lifetime.
copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas ]. Sullivan ]
Do not Judge from mere appearances,
for the light lPdghter that bubbles on
the lip often nantes over the depth
of sadness, and the serious look may
be the sober veil that covers n divine
peace and joy. The bosom may ache
beneath diamond brooches, and many
a blithe heart dances under coarse
wool.
Assuming the above to be true, we
will proceed to tear page from the
life diary of Mrs. Weaver and present
it to our readers.
That New Suit.
"What am l going to do about that
new suit / must have| said Martha
Weaver to her husband as he came in
from work one evening
"Why is there any question about
that? Go to Hopkins & Co. and get
what you need. If you need a suit get
it," answered her husband.
81 have looked there" replied
Martha, "but they haven't anything
that l want. just need simple suit.
but want good material. and it must
be neatly and well made, one that l
could use for almost any occasion. I
would prefer ready made suit, hut
those that Hopkins & Co. have APP
pear to be made Of poor, iimsy mate
rial, and they are decked out with such
cheap, flashy, dowdy trimming that l
just cannot bear to wear Them" replied
Martha.

that he heard we were at war with other coun- tries ,and knowing that we don't feel like foollng our time with mere bandits while bloodthlrsty murderers are at large, he may fear that we would not waste our time in chasing him. Il this is his idea he is right, because if he should attempt to annoy us at this time, President Will son may take the notion to give the command Column right; forward, march" and proceed to move the imaginary boundary line clear across the Mexican republic and use that country for garden spot while the war with the other coun- tries lasts. From his inactivity we infer that he knows by this time there will be no more watchful-waiting Americans are in no humor to stand much foolishness from the greasers dur ing the present restlessness. However, it is well that he has decided to be good He is saving a lot of trouble for himself.

Henceforth and until the next quarrel is saltled we must say Mount Rainier" and not Mount "Tacoma" when speaking of the little foot hill in the state of Washington over which so much feeling has been created. It would seem that since so much fuss so much spirit has been displayed over the naming of that hill by the peo- nle of both cities. that compromise would have adjusted things amicaby instead of leaving 1t opened to more disputes. We suggest that rep rescntatives of both cities get together and agree to call it Mount Spirit, which would seem ap- propriate in view of all the wrangling thus far.

WE NEVER KNEW IT.

Strange as it may seem, 1t is the truth ney- ertheless that we, Us and company making up the community's oldtimars population never knew ourselves as we really are. We had an idea--uneonsciously perhaps that we were fo' lowing the course of events and keepin@ up with the time until some one reminded Us that ve had 2 duty to perform in the way of helping the war sufferers Accustomed to our easy manners of doing things when reminded of our duty, we found ourselves behind other col..rnuities, so to speak in that respect No sooner had we dis covered our slovenliness in the matter our dor mant spirit woke up and To- and behold it was done. Over four hundred dollars was contribut- ed towards helping the unfortunate Belgians And paradoxica as it may seenn it is the truth all the same that after we had contributed that generous sum for our small community, we found ourselves no poorer by reason thereof. Evident ly we never knew what we could do until we tried Now, did we?
 The blacksmith always hits the iron while it is hot. Following this principle, we set our minds to work on the next problem, that Of or eanizing chapter of the Red Cross society Some said impossible" Others appeared in- different but the reused up spirit stayed right on the job The result was evidenced last even ing when the reports of the numerous commit tees reported an aggregate subscription list of over 450 names; and more to come in. Can you beat this you old moss-back, Juneauites or any other ''ites" in Alaska? Watch our smoke and see which way the wind blows. then it may be that you follow.
 This accomplishment may surprise some, but we are free to admit that we are surprised our selves. We were so accustomed to take things easy that we sort of forgot we could hurry when we wanted to. As a matter of fact some of us never knew what could do until we tried Meanwhile our large aggregation of volunteers are drilling. We would advise the ones who said the 'Ketchikaners were slow" to duck
