A MISSOURI MUSE

Archie, Mo-, Sept. 2S, 1925.
Mr.. A. L. Sherman,
Editor Grant Co. Herald.
Dear Sir:
If you will pardon me for writing
you, but I feel as though I was writ
| ing to an old friend, as the Herald
has been in our family for so many
years. My father, Daniel Garner, now
deceased, took it for years, anyway 1
| remember the Herald ever since I was
a small child.
believe we have taken it ever
since we were married (nearIy SO
years. with the exception of a couple
of years when my son subscribed to
the Teller to help his cousin in a
contest
! The Herald now comes in my daugh-
ter's name; my husband and 1 can't
hardly get along without it, [ do en-
joy the old time "reminiscences.
They recall to my mind hearing my
father talk about those very incidents.
Now | am writing to you about
| story l have written I we'll remem-
| Der Free Williams, as he was at nv
fathers house for dinner one day
when l was a child He and a friend
had been on a wolf hunt and they
had several hounds with them
| And shortly after Mr.. Williams
death, l remember of reading about
how he hung the jury, he was one
against IL, and that it was a negro
90 trial. But I didn't know what be-
came of the wolf, nor on what charge
! the negro was on for until I read in
! the Herald this summer.
| Now I wrote this story last winter
as the negro, the wolf, and the hung
| jury suggested it to my mind Since
living in Missouri 1 have often heard
of the devotion of a slave to their
masters family. So all of these Incl
dents helped me to create a little ro-
nance.
Now know you haven't been print
ing short stories but thought l would
like to send this to you for your honest
criticism if you would be so kind as
to read it.
After I read the poem, ''Why Live
Elsewhere?" that was in the Herald
lately, 1 just composed an answer to
| it entitled "a Tribute to Missouri" l
do not pretend to be poet and / have
likely made numerous mistakes, so if
it isn't any good 1 guess the waste
paper basket will hold it.
Yours respectfully,

A TRIBUTE TO MISSOURI


When my Grant County Herald" came to
Mizzou,

When 1 came to the poem written bv Mr.
Lou,
''yVell." said I. every word of that is true -,
For dear old Wisconsin was the land Of
my birth
And well I remember its beauties too
AS I think of them often, indeed I do.
When a child did roam through its
wooded dells.

Tt was the old black cow I learned TO milk
And I thought her hair was as soft as silk
I know all about that water so clear and
cool,
For I have chased many fish to a deeper
I never forgot the hazel nuts that grew on
every hill
And it didn't take me very long a sack to
fill.

CHAPTER XIV.
Reaping the Whirlwind.

Quite late that evening
was turning over the pages of an
old magazine. He W. very restless.
Finally he hurled the book reckless
ly across the room. This was unus-
ual, for the slightest printed word is
of the greatest value in the far will
derness, being commonly treated
with the greatest respect.
II wonder what that old sky-pilot
is doing with himself ?" he said. "He
should have come in and gone to bed
long ago. Likely he's found some
Indian kid with stomachache and
is sitting up with him."
He consulted his watch-the only
one within a radius of some hun
dreds of miles.
"E ven o'clock! Hanged if I'm
going to wait up any longer for
himw
He h2d gone to his room and was
beginning to undress when he de-
cided that he had better take a turn
outside and see for himself whether
he could find any explanation for the
priests absence.
He lit his pipe and opened the
door. Absolute silence reigned. For
some minutes he listened for human
utterances that would carry far in
the still night, but heard nothing.
Then he went toward the tent of
Nimissuts, his soft moccasins max
INC no sound; but somewhere a dog
began to growl. The ample snore
of the old man assured him that the
inmates were sleeping. The agent
scrato,.cd his head.

tereQ, and moved off toward the
Iandinf place, where many canoes
were led upon the shore and could
h. clearly seen in the moonlight.
For a moment he searched among
them. but could find no sign of the
missionary's long, travelling canoe.
Cnrran then uttered curse.
Hes gone That was great
trick to play on me: | suppose that
devil of a girl told him she didn't
care to marry me, or else he told her
that he didn't approve of the mar
rage. Some day I'll get square
with him for putting in his oar that
way-the old fool! He's just gone
so that l can't be married now, and
told her that no indian marriage
|, would be any good. Well, I'll get
the best OF MN, an way IL lehe
her down in the spring and marry
her when we get south"
He returned to the post, where he
took a drink from his bottle of di-
iuted alcohol before he sought his
bunk end tossed restlessly all night.
II the early morning came few
hours cf sleep, and he awakened
later than was his custom.
He clam ed for his breakfast and
questioned old Cyprier when he
brought it 20 him.
when did White Beard the Man
itou Ilno, go away?" he asked. Il
found last night that his canoe was
gone"
81 saw this morning that it was no
longer at the landing" answered the
old fellow. "Yet he cannot have
gone fer a long time, because he was
to take flour and kukush. the meat of
pig. He cannot go to the great wa
ter in the north without more provi-
ions, for his are nearly gone"
'"That is So" agreed Curran. 81
laid the stuff for him on the floor
of the storeroom."
Investigation showed that the pro-
visions were still there. untouched.

TO STUDENTS AT OUR NEW HIGH

Your corps of teachers are trained and

The harder the problem the harder they

To open minds door so they'd understand:
They visioned the future with a job to

And boys were whipped for everything,
even a wink.
Those grandpas made possible your school
of today,
Their pioneer hardships have smoothed out
your way;
Appreciate advantages that fall to your lot
And master each lesson to the very last dot.
Then, here's to the boy and here's to the

Here's to each budding mind with studies

found that Bobby" merely had a

TRUCKS COLLIDE ON WARREN
STREET YESTERDAY

The parking of cars on the south
side of Warren street, between Lau-
rel and Cooper, was the cause of a
collision between two trucks yester-
day afternoon, which might have re-
suited seriously
A truck belonging to Fleck Broth
ers, of Camden, which was driven
by Frank Bruno, also of Camden, was
travelling east on Warren street and
turned out to pass parked car in
front of the Bever-Lee Theatre. AS
the Camden truck turned out, REQ
Speed Wagon, owned and operated
by Wilbur F. Crane, of Philadelphia,
and travelling in the opposite direc-
ton tried to squeeze through the
space left in the center of the road.
1t Was a tight squeeze and the
Fleck Brothers truck, which is a
Mack won out, smashing the Reo's
front wheels and breaking the front
axle. 1t was taken to the garage of
Morris Puro.
Several months past the police com
mittee had the road very prettily
marked off with no parking lines
none of which are showing at the
present date.
