i;iuem 01 past bistory:
A few years ago while Kobert
Stewart was governor of Missouri, a
steam-boat man was brought in from
the penitentiary as an applicant for a
pardon. He was a large, powerful fel.
low and when ihe governor looked at

Finally he signed the document that
restored the prisoner to liberty. Be

"Yon will commit some other crime
and .be in the penitentiary again, I

The man solemnly promised that be

doubtful, mused a few minutea and
said:
"You will go back to the river and
be a mate I suppose?"
The man replied that be would.
Well I want you to promise me one
thing. rwat J0U tQ pJ
word that when you are mate again

your hand and drive a sick boy out of
a bunk to help you load your boat ot a
stormy night."

WHILE all Missourians

from politics to that extent
that different conventions
are provided for the nomi
nation of judges, supreme,
court of appeals and cir
cuit, the next race for su
preme judge of the state
promises to develop one
of the liveliest contests
ever known in Missouri.
The Intelligencer to
day presents a "picture
gallery" containing the
familiar faces of fourteen of
the aspirants to this honor.
There will be three va
cancies to fill at the elec
tion in 1902 places now
held by Judge Sherwood,
who has been in office
thirty years, Judge Bur
gess, who has served ten
years and Judge Valliant,
four years. The salary
of a supreme judge is
5j,ooo per year and thus
it will be seen that Judge
Sherwood has drawn from
the people of the state for

The governor replied: "Because
aome day that boy may become a
governor aud you may want him to
paraon you lor a crime. One dark
stormy night many years ago, you
stopped vour boat 00 the Mississippi
river to take on a load of wood.
There was a boy on board who was
working his passage from New Or-
leans to St. Loun, but he was very
sick of fever and was lying in a bunk.
You had plenty of men to do the work.
but you went to the boy with a stick of '

until tne load was complete. I was
that boy. Here is tbat pardon.
Never again be guilty of such bru.

The man. cowering and hiding bis
face, went out without a word.
What a noble revenge that was, and
what a lesson to a bully.

one third of that amount,

The familiar face in the
center of the Intelligen

in today's issue is that df
the Hon. Alexander Graves
of Lexington, who will be
earnestly supported by
Lafayette county for a
place on the bench. Judge
Graves stands at the top
of the bar as a lawyer, is
a man of splendid legal
training and of a natural
judicial turn of mind.
He is well known to Mis
sourians as he has repre
sented one of the districts
of the state in congress
and that with distinction.
The private life of Judge
Graves is spotless and no
man in the state has with
in his makeup more of
the elements of firm char
acter and gentlemanly in
