This brought out the fact that there are
no regular taxi companies, as We usually
think of them, operating in Columbia.
A group Of car-owners get together here,
establish stand, advertise, and they're
ready for business. The calls are given
in order starting with the first man down
in the morning every man taking his
turn thereafter, unless, as is sometimes
the case, the passenger has some favorite
car or driver that he especially asks for.

OLD COLUMBIA NEGRO
HAS AN-EXACCERATED
SENSE OF PROPORTION

Sausage sales had fallen of consider
ably and the proprietor Of COlumbis
meat shop called his staff into consulta
ton. The information brought forth al
this meeting resulted in sending sleutf
to interview an old negro who was said
to be underselling the other sausage dis
pensers Of the town.
An interview with the old negro''
neighbors brought out the fact that he
usually had number of decrepit horses
hanging around the place, and that they
disappeared in a very sudden and mys.
eriOus manner.
The investigator asked the negro if il
were true tha. he made sausage. The ne
gro answered that he did; that he made
rabbit sausage.
You make rabbit sausage do you?"
repeated the inquirer.
"Yes sab, ah makes rabbit sausage"
WELL" continued the questiOner. SIS
il true that you frequently have old hors-
es around here?"
'Yes sah," replied the negro, "ah
'casionally has ole horses round heah.'
The sleuth bit his lip reAectively then
put forth another question.
What" he asked, do you put into
this rabbit sausage, uncle?"
The negro answered Indignantly that
he put rabbits into the sausage.
Anything else?" he was asked.
''Yes sab, all puts in rabbits and horse
meat"
"Ah," said the curious one, ''and will
you please tell me what proportions you
use? How much rabbit, and how much
hOrse?"
Why" said the negro, "Ah mixes il

The process of becoming taxi drive
in Columbia is comparatively simpl,
one. IL involves little more than ths
buying of a car. getting a license tag

chauffeur's license.
This last step suggests, TO the mind
of the average citizen, an examination OF
the fitness of the applicant for the H.

simple and surprising one. The appli.
cant for a chauffeurs license in Nilsson,

of which is later attached 10 his voucher
sent from the secretary of states office.
As to his knowledge of the mechanical
workings Of car. his ability to handle
a motor vehicle and his acquaintance
with the laws governing motor vehicles
in Missouri. he makes his own brief and
unguestioned statement. Anyone, as
one taxi driver admitted. '-can get a
chauffeur's license if he's got the s3 fee. ;"

MISSOURI G. A. X. MEETS
ONCE MORE IN SEDALIA
Columbia Has no Post for White
Veterans but Negro Post
Sends Nj. Douglass.

Another year has rolled around io
another encampment of the Missouri C.
A. r.. Civil War veterans who are mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic
of Missouri convened Thursday and Fri.
day at Sedalia for their forty-first en-.
campment. Thirty-eight corps were rep.
resented by ia delegates, and about 400
visitors attended. Three encampmenis
have been held in Sedalia; the first in
1893, the second in 1914 and the third
this year.
There is no c. A. r. post for white
veterans in Columbia, but Post 432 for
negroes represent the c. A. r. here. Wal
lace Lilly, 2O7 North Second street, is
commander of the post. Lilly, who is 81
years old, was too i'll to attend the meet
ing this year, and Matt Douglass, secre-
tary Of the organization, represented the
post.
Every year on Memorial Day the old
veterans decorate the forty-three graves
Of their comrades. Lilly secured thirty
eight tombstones from the government
for the graves Of G. A. X. members in
Columbia.
During the Civil War Lilly was SER
geant in Company X Of the Sixty-Eighth
Division from Missouri. For the greater
part Of the war he was under Gen. Steele
Smith, being part Of the time at Mobile,
Ala.
Years ago a G. A. r. Post for white
persons was organized here, but it did
not continue long. There are several
white members of the G. A. r. still living
here.
