We will not be able to boast much longer about the largest county in the state, for knives are leing whetted and this great empire is to be quartered like a beef and portioned out to the privileged few.

Eulogistic 9pe«efftt Too Much for Henry M. Stanley, Whom His Comrades in Africa Knew as Man of Iron. "Before I met Henry M. says William H. Ridding in McClure'9, "I bad talked with men who had been under him In his African expeditions, and all they told me about him WV& more or less appalling. "He was not inhutoan, but In desper ate straits he spared neither man nor beast, nor would he defer to the coun sel or the pleas of others or have any patience with less than instant and unquestioning obedience to his or ders under all circumstances. He would not forbear under arguments or excuses or relax his severity by any familiarity or pleasantries, even when his object had been gained. He was both despot and martinet stern, ex acting, uncompromising, silent, humor less, inscrutable, Cromwellian. "'I cannot say that we loved him,' one of his lieutenants said to me 'we were all afraid of him, but we all be lieved in him When he hadn't his rifle in hand he had his Bible, and no matter where our camp was or how long and distressing our march had been he never missed his bath, and shave In the morning This aspect of the explorer was different from that which he shovfSd to the guests at a dinner vh.v the Papyrus club of Boston gave in his honor.

Gentlemen, I in troduce to you Mr. Stanley, who,' etc. The hero stood up slowly, painful ly, reluctantly, and with a gesture of deprecation fumbled in first one and hen another of his pockets without finding what he sought. It was sup posed that he was looking for his notes, and more applause took the i-d&e off the delay. •His mouth twiched without speech lor another awkward minute before, with a more erect bearing, he pro duced the object of his search and put It on his head. It was not paper, but a rag of a cap. and with that on he faced the company as one who by that act had tfone all that could be ex Dected of him, and made further ac knowledgment of the honors he had received superfluous. It was a cap that Livingstone had worn and that Livingstone had given him." Changing Conditions. "Death the Meddler." who italks In upon us. often unannounced, always terrifying, plays sad havoc with the tenor of our lives, cutting short cher ished plans and ambitions with a hopelessness that admits of no allevi ation, says the Chariest on News and Courier. The change that follows in his wake Is sharp and sudden, and the task of trying to cover up the broken places and adjust ourselves to the new conditions is no easy one. Death, however, is not the only fac tor concerned In effecting some of the most vital changes in our life's routine. We forget to take account of time we fail to realize that the service we render to others will not always satisfy them and that other in terests will come into their lives in which we can have no part. We have been so contented, the family circle to complete, that when the shadow of some coming change first throws itself across our path we can hardly recognite lt» true import. We try to Imagine that wo do not see its dim outlines we try to delude ourselves into believing that it will pass us by. and yet in our hearts we know that it is there. We do not fully realize the advantages of familiar intercourse un til that intercourse is interrupted and wo suddenly face the loss which has eome into our life The New Of the late Atherton Blight, one of the founders of fashionable Newport ft Phlladelphian said at the Ritten house club: "Mr. Blight was amused by the antics of the militant suffragettes.

'Even though,' she said, 'they have to be shipped from England, I don't •ee why their price should have near ly doubled, do you?' •"Well—er—not exactly.' murmured Mr. Blight, 'though they do say that the hen plovers have taken to acting very oddly of late—strutting round, and growing topknots and spurs, and even trying to learn to ccpw."* A Bad Case.

Missouri River Navigation Washington, March 2— Hear ings before the senate committee on commerce in reference to Mis souri river improvement were con tinued today. S. Waters Fox, civil engineer of Kansas City, who was in the government service on the Missouri for nearly twenty live years, was the principal wit ness. lie said it was entirely feasible to get a twelve-foot chan nel from St. Louis to Kansas City, six feet to Sioux City and four feet to Fort Benton. Fox made the startling state ment that the Missouri river erodes thirteen acres of land per mile every year from Sioux City to St. Louis, and that much of this erosion could be a.oided by pro posed improvements. Kansas City will put in a million-dollar Ixmt line on the Missouri to run from Kansas City south, whether the government makes the improve ments or not, said Fox. He add ed that the line would be much more effective of the government work is done.—Sioujc Falls Press. shoes orked curves that well-dressed men demand.
