VALORE HARDWARE CO. PHOITE -45 people f:t more fun out of talking about Mis ouri than they do by going tocomic opera. Missouri is one of our national plea nan tries and helps make life happier in this commercial and busy nation. Missouri is a plain, downright oldfashiened state and is proud of it. It has 3,300,0(10 people divided into two classes—those who call it "Mizzoury" and love it and those who call it "Missoura” and wish it had more society and less mules. It is the seventh state in population, the third in corn, 0th in rai!road8. sixth in number of school children first in mules and first in incredulity. Owing to the passion which Missourians have for "being shown" and showing each other up, politics in the state has been an earnest and wakeful opera tion for the last seventy years. Missouri is modern at the eastern end in St. Louis Hnd at its western in Kansas City. It is also being modernized in the legislature at Jeffers-m City, the capital. It is historic along the Mississ ippi. with a French accent, unreconstructed in Clay county, and primitive in the Ozarks win* e the locomotive is less familiar to the children th n the Ozarks. It is divided into two varying pans by the restless Missouri river, and by the local o. - tion fight. It has produced Mark Twain, ti e James boys, Joseph Folk. Adolphus Busch, the science of osteopathy and the new Democratic hymn, "They gotta quit kickin’ my dnwg aroun." Missouri is so backward that antebellum picnics are still held in some parts and is so advanced that when an octopus reaches a tentacle across the state line, said tentacle is cut off and hung up in the state as a trophy. Missouri was settled 159 years ago, but has re mained unsettled ever since. 11 fought itself vig orously in the civil war and has been revolving politically with extreme rapidity. It was once ’ ths fifth state in population in the union, but has | been passed by Massachusetts and Texas, owing j to th-j vaj t number of Missourians who strayed j across the state line at Kansas and St Louis- I and have settled on suburban but alien soil. How | ever, one Missouri man can brzate as much inter est and excitement as two ordinary men and the state will never be unimportant.—George Mathew Adams. i'. ■ ' ' ' * ' ' • ' ▼ T ▼ T tttt TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ♦t P - J - LYONS.
