Director R. R. Smith of Brookfield. Mo., last erenlng was the happiest Woodman official In the city, with the possible exception of the few appoint ive officers who are sure of their jobs. It was all on account of a concrete expression of confidence and esteem from his Missouri friends In the form ! of an expensive gold watch, chain and ! Woodman charm. The presentation took place quite informally at the New Harper while Mr. Smith was at dinner. The Mis sourlans were seated at the same table by design on the part of the conspir ators. State Senator F. M. McDavId of Eprfagfield was the one who had been chosen to do the honors and he accomplished his task with such skill that the director was not sure till he had almost finished that It was not an appeal for more patronage for Mis souri. When the watch was flashed upon him, however, Mr. Smith "tum bled" and made a heartfelt acknowl edgement. The gift wns arranged for by Dr. W. P. Sparrow of Moberly, who gave perhaps half a hundred of Mr. Smith's friends a chance to contribute. Near ly all of them were friends of the dis interested sort who were glad of the opportunity to show their appreciation of a good fellow and a staunch and loyal Woodman. Th watch Is engraved with Mr. Smith's initials and the Woodman mot to "Pur autre vU" and bears also the legend "From your friends in Missouri."
