of epilepsy in a hotel at Joplin,
was buried at Granby, Saturday
afternoon under the auspices of

Chieftain.
THE POSTAL TELE
GRAPH SYSTEM
Will Be Completed Through
Monett Within The Next
Thirty Days
The entering of the Postal
Telegraph system into Monett
will be a great benefit to the city,
for it will mean not only cheaper
rates but better service as well.
A large force of workmen are
busily engaged in setting poles
and preparing them for the re
ception of the wires.
The line passes down Main
street, crossing over the Harvey
house at the depot.
The line is now in Joplin and
Monett will soon be connected
with St. Louis, Kansas City,
Oklahoma City and all other im
portant points.
GOOD RESULTS FROM CHERRIES
C. M. Livesay has received the
returns on shipment of fruit
from 1 acre cherry orchard on
County street. He sold 201 crates
and the average net price was
about $2.25 per crate. He was
fortunate in having early, me
dium and late cherries so that he
was not crowded in the picking
of the fruit.
This is a young orchard but
has had good care and will give
good returns in the years to
come.
ONE ON THE HORSE
The story is told that a horse
in California, after being wound
ed in the head by a bullet, kicked
his way out of the coral, walked
two miles to the home of his
owner, who is a veterinary, sur
geon, and wakened him by
rattling the door. That is some
story, but listen to this one.
Last Satuaday morning while
the editor and his wife were
driving at an early hour to
Ritchey, "Old Dick" cast a shoe
when near Peirce City. When
we arrived in the city the horse
promptly turned in at the first
blacksmith shop he came to.
The shop not being open the
animal reluctantly proceeded
but turned in at the second
shop. When the shoe was re
placed "Old Dick"' proceeded on
his journey without attempting
further stops. Now laugh.

FORTY-SEVEN
DEMOCRATIG SEN
ATORS PLEDGED
Two Absentees Who Favor
Tariff Bill GivesiParty Ma
jority of One Besides Mar
shall's Vote
Washington, July 7 Forty
seven democratic senators stood
up in the party caucus .late to
day and declared their intention
to vote for the Underwood-Simmons
tariff revision bills an final
ly approved by the caucus a few
minutes previously. Two Sen
ators, Ransdell and Thornton, of
Louisiana, stated they would not
make such promise because of
the proposal to place sugar on
the free list in 1916. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska and
Culberson of Texas were absent,
but both are known to be in
favor of the bill. This gives the
democrats forty-nine votes for
the bill, or a slender majority of
one, with the vote of the vice
president to fall back on in an
emergency.
A resolution was adopted de
claring the Underwood Simmons
bill a party measure and urging
its undivided support without a
mendment unless such should be
submitted by the committee.
Senator Newlands of Nevada
cast the only vote against the
resolution, but Senators Shaf
roth of Colorado, Ransdell and
Thornton did not vote.
WILLIAM'S DINNER BUCKET
The best dinner in the world
is in a dinner bucket that a man
has carried to his work and
takes the leisure of the noon
hour to eat. No one knows the
size or style of the appetite of
the man but the wife, and she
has filled the bucket with just
the things the man wants. There
are bread and butter, a slice of
meat, a bit of cheese, a pickle, a
piece of pie probably never a
day place for a piece of pie than
the dinner bucket and a bottle
of.coffee or something to heat
up. Oh, it's royal. It beats any
quiet lunch ever set before a
man.
What makes us think of all
this now is that Secretary Bryan
intends to take his dinner bucket
to the state department and eat
his lunch there. Mrs. Bryan
prepares it. She will fill it with
things that will make the colonel
happy all over. There will be
some sandwiches, a piece of jelly
cake, perhaps, a big white
radish and a bottle of grape
juice. There is a little event,
just for common everyday
people, raised to the glory of the
skies by the man with a soul. No
style about William J. that hasn't
the touch of his wife's soft hand
in it. To the great American
heart that dinner bucket is as
grand as a peace treaty.
