One ot the old land marks of north

standing at Crescent Hill, during the

considered "good" financially cr

settlers of Bates county, yet how
well do those who vet live remember
them. The vast orairies which we
used roam over in quest of wander

fields or meadow lands toiled by
many who were at the time spoken
of above but prattling children. What

The people ot the country have
evidently mistaken the quality and
quantity of Senator Sherman's patri
otism He is reported to have
re:ently said:
I would rather be permanently re
tied from public lite than seem, by
skence, to consent to the suppression
o: the colored vote in the south and
tie injustice resulting therefrom to
al parts ot the country. The north
ern people are not fully awake to
tie importance of this issue. I deem
1 a patriotic duty to arouse the
pjbbc conscience on a question of
such vital and far-reaching import
nice, and I shall not be deterred
from so doing by considerations of
nere policy.
This high blush of principle may
.urprise many honest folk who have
leen censuring the redoubtable sena-
tr tor injecting so much blood and
imnder into his canvass, but un.

An Unfortunate Bagjjagts Gentleman.
An Aged Trunk sat back in the
dark corner ot the car and refused
to budge when the b iggage gentle-
man called him out. The baggage-
man 1:1 great wratn advanced and
seized the venerable Sartoga by the
handle.

But the baggageman gave it a yank 1 Kansas City Ne a.
that pulled it out by the roots, and j
then, with violent language, he up-. L

"I have nothing to do with getting
out this baggage, replied the Ayed j
Trunk, "my sole mission and duty
in life is to get on the wrong train. ,
Failing in that, I am content merely
to go to the wrong hotel, although I i
would prefer to lose my check and j
get lost entirely. You will find j
the remaining handle at the other
end."
The baggageman walked around1
and caught hold of the surviving han-
