begs leave to inform President Roose.
Telt that the 'possum season is now
open in Missouri, and if he is still food
of the chase be is hereby invited to
join the mighty hunters in Jackson
and Laiayette county in a grand
'possum bunt. Pawpaws and persim-
ons are ripe, too, and the moon is just
right.
Clay County Democrat: If the sod
in the orchard is too tough, and it is
not desirable to plow it, turn the pigs
in and give them a free range. They
will always find somethiag to root for,
and the result will be that they will
break np the sod and benefit the trees.
At the same time the hogs will secure
a portion of their food aod keep in a
thrifty condition.
Malta Bend Qui Vive: A Missouri
court has decided that the owner of a
wire fence is responsible for injury to
stock if tbe fence is out of repair. A
farmer in this state brought suit against
the Wabesh railroad for damage
caused by a horse becoming crippled
while walking on a piece of loose wire
which projected from the railroad
fence out into tbe public road.
Mexico Ledger: "If a newspaper
man knew how many 'knocks' he re
ceived behind his back be would adopt
another calling," said a citizen the
other day. The citizen was mistaken.
The newspaper man who succeeds ex
pects to be maligned by every law
breaker, swindler, hypocrite, and
every lover of notoriety who does not
agree with hira on public or private
questions.
J
Independence Sentinel: No state in
all this union has a more influential,
dignified or abler country press than
has Missouri. It is the foundation
rock upon which the democracy of the
state is builded. It is intelligent,
progressive and aggressive, and is ever
wide awake in defense of Missouri and
Missouri's interests. It never balks.
Its motto is onward and upward and
in it democracy has its greatest advo
cate and strongest supporter. While
tbe city paper is the "advertising
medium" for the office seeker, the
country paper does tbe work that
elects him after be is nominated.
Sedaha Democrat: The future of the
state school fund is a subject that
deserves the serious consideration of
every friend of the public schools.
Soon it must be decided whether to
pay eff tbe ceitificates of Indebtedness
representing the state bonds canceled
by the cash in the school fund and
invest the cash replaced by such Dav
ment in some other form of security,
or reduce the state tax levy and make
the certificates a permanent levy.
mis is tbe Issue that will be presented
to tbe people when they come to vote
upon tbe proposed constitutional
amendment. It is not a question as
w me honesty or wisdom of past
investments, for there can be no ques
tion about that. It is the future of the
public schools that is to be considered.
Lee's Summit Journal: In an inter
view at St. Louis, last week, County
Clerk Crittenden pays a fine tribute to
Jackson county democracy and paints
a picture of future harmony in demo
cratlc rauks which has a very rosy hue,
and no doubt makes the democrats all
feel good. Tom's predictions can be
made good if the factions will only
listen to the rank and file in their
demands for a primary nominating

list church, Tuesday. About thirty-
five churches with 3,500 members and
property valued at $50,000 are located
in tbe two counties and make reports
to this body. The new officers for the
coming year are: Moderator, J. S
Denton, Knobnoster; clerk, F. Y.

. vtinsor. ibe association main
tains a missionary, Elder Barton,
who does work to the destitute
sections and among weak churches
of the association Notwithstanding
the drouth, the churches generally
report a healthy condition and arc
striving earnestly to advance the
various causes. The people of Knob
noster did themselves nobly in enter
taining the delegates. The meeting
adjourned today.
Since the problem of the deporta
tion and exclusion of the anarchists
is inviting solution, says the Jefferson
City Press, tbe views of Mr. Jefferson
concerning this reptilian tribe are of
contemporary interest. That an act
deporting and excluding these semi
savages would not antagonize the
principles of tbe great democratic
leader is made clear In his published
correspondence. Writing to William
II. Crawford, one of tbe great demo
cratic leaders of the dav. he said
'Every society has a right to fix the
fundamental principles of its associa
tion, and to say to all individuals that,
they contemplate pursuits beyond

PEOPLE WILL TALK
You may git through tbe world, but 'twill be very slow,
If you listeji to all that is said as jou go,
You'll be v orried and fretted, and kept in a stew
For meddli some tongues must have something to do,
And people will taik.
If quiet an 1 modest, you'll have it presumed
That your liumble position is only assumed
You're a mt in sheep's clothing, or else you're a fool,
But don't jet excited keep perfectly cool
For people will talk.
And then, jlf you show the least boldness of heart,
Or a slight, inclination to take your o n part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited and vain.
But keep straight ahead don't stop to explain
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, or old-fashioned your hat,
Some one will surely take notice of that.
And bint rather strong that you can't pay your way,
But don't get excited, whatever they say
For people will talk.
If you dress in tbe fashion don't think to escape,
For they criticise then in a different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailor's unpaid.
But mind your own business there's naught to be made
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as you please ;
For your mind, if you have one, will then be at ease.
Of couree you will meet with all sorts of abuse;
But don't think to stop them it ain't any nse
For people will talk.

McCAUSLAND, j
From the New York World.
President McKiuly's great speech at
Buffalo grew from three phrases
thought out by him one evening in
Canton while he was smoking big
after-dinner cigar. This is the story of
tho inception of the speech, which, it is
generally conceded, will live as one ot
be great orations of bistory.
About three weeks before he was to
leave Canton for Buffalo on the visit
which terminated witb his death, the
president and Secretary Cortelyou were
lining together in tbe president'! office
id bis borne. It was 7 o'clock aid the
lights bad not yet been lighted. The
president bad been busy all day with
letters and publio matters, aud bad
gone to bis office to smoke his cigar
before taking up another batch ot cor
respondence Mr. Cortelyou had ready
for him.
At such times he usually talked
freely on all sorts of topics. Tbat
evening he sat quietly smoking, looking
at the ceiling and watching tbe smoke
curl upwards. Mr. Cortelvon sat
m af
across the desk from him, glancing
over some papers. Neither had said a
word for ten minutes when, suddenly.
the president took his cigar from bis
lips and said, apropos of notbinc at
all, apparently:
"Expositions aw the timeKeepers of
progress."
Mr. Cortelyou bad a pencil in his
hand, he made a note of the epigram
on a bit of psper, but said nothing
ine president smoked for a few
minutes longer. Then he said :
"Amity is better than animosity."
Mr. Cortelyou made another note.
He said nothing to tbe president and
Mr. McKinley lapsed back Into bis
thoughtful mood. He puffed on his
cigar for a time and once more broke
the silence by saying:
"Reciprocity is better than retalia
tion."
The watchful secretary niado a note
of this phrase also.
The president fiuished his cigar,
walked over and looked out of the
widow, returned and sal down at tbe
desk again.
"Well, Cortelyou," he said, "what
have you for mo touight?" There was
not a word between the president and
secretnry about tho three phrases, but
alter ine work was finished an.t th
president had gone in to see if Mrs
McKinley was comfortable, Cortelyou
went upstairs and said to one of tbe
stenographers: "Take this."
ibe stenographer put a piece of
paper in bis typewriter and wrote OLt
the three phrases as Mr. Cortelyou
dictated them. He wrote one at the
top of the paper, one In the middle and
one at me Dottom and handed the
sheet to Mr. Cortelyou.
Next morning before breakfast Mr
Cortelyou took tbe sheet of paper and
put It on top of everything else on the
president's desk. When Mr. McKin
ley came In be saw tbe paper, picked it
op, read it and then turning to Cortel
you witb a smile, said :
"Ab, we have begun the Buffalo
speech, I see."
Tbe president took the three Ideas
and expanded them into tbe Buffalo
speech. He did not use "amity is bet
ter than animosity," or reciprocity Is
oeuer than retaliation," In those exact
uu' mat, notable eDipram.
"Expositions are the timekeepers of
progress," went safely through all the
revisions and attracted imn.oHi.
attention in the speech.
Ibe president dictated but llttl r.f
tue speech. He wrote It out by para
kui, taxing run two weeks to it
e used a pad on his knee on tha
porcb and wrote some of it while h
was in Mrs. McKinley 's room. When
