Clardy, of St Loule, attorney for the Missourl Pa i elfic, by rallway men just now. Mr. i ‘Clardy tells the story as follows: “A pompous looking man dashed into the general offices of the P., X. &Q railway the other day. “ ‘*Where’s the president?” he de- manded of the clerk, who was doing the Cerebrus act in the front cage. “ ‘Just went the back way alength ahead of a federal subpoena server” was the reply. ‘Wanted up in Chi. cago in Judge Landis’s court.’ “Where's the general manager?” “ "Ted up with the Interstate com- merce commission.’ “Then, by heavens, where’s your superintendent? [’vegot to see some- body.’ “Sorry, but he’s chasing up and down the track, trying to keep tho railroad and warehouse commiselon- ere trom spottin’ rotten ties.’ “The pompous man swelled to a purple rage. He spluttered inarticu- lately fora momentand then do- manded: “*Well, who in h—I’s running this railroad, anyhow?’ “The clerk turned wearily to his work. “The newspapers,’ he sald. Then, after a pause, he added: ‘The near- est office {s just around the corner. Tell your troubles to. them and they’ll have the federal court, the in- terstate commerce commission or the railroad and warehouse comm!s sioners make us do {¢ right away.’ ” Governor Moved By Plea. Montgomery, Ala., August 12 — COI tte een > = i. SI FREES Fo. Territory Marshal Slays Bootlegger on River. Tulsa, I. T, Auguet 12—In a battle between Deputy United States Marshal Sam Coneand two unknown bootleggers ina cane brake on the Arkansas river one of the bootleg- gers was killed. The other man in the boat jumped into the water, ewam ashore and escaped. As officer Cone tells the story, he had been patrolling the banks for several hours on the lookout for a consignment of liquor en route from Keystune, Okla, to Jenks. Finally he saw @ suspicious looking boat ap- | proaching. When {¢ came within sight he saw that !t was heavily loaded, supposedly with liquor, and that two men were aboard. He or- dered the men to throw up their handsand surrender. They decisively refused to heed and attempted to get away. Cone then opened fire with a 45-caliber pistol. At the first shot one of them pitched into the river and sank. There fs talk of dragging the river to find the body of the dead man, Since the famous Keystone overland liquor trail was discovered and put out of business six months ago bootleggers have been moving their consignments by the river route.

Joseph, Mo., Ang.—The condt-jer, who LADY GODIVA RIDES THROUGH COVENTRY. Thousands Line Streets Trav- ersed by Woman in Revival of Legend. Coventry, England, August 12 — The ride of Lady Godiva has been repeated. Not as the original fair woman did, clothed only with the breeze and sunlight, bot masses of hair, plok fleshings and yards of gauze covered the form of the mod- ern Lady Godiva during the six mile ride on her white palfrey before ad miring thousands. Though ministers who had attack- ed the fisshings as suggestive of nudity had fisd from the town, the spectacle failed even to bring a blush to the faces of innocents. Coventry has been Lady Godiva- mad for months. When a revival of the processiun, last witnessed in 1887, was first mooted there were many who desired a strict adherence to tradition, even to the nudity of Lady Godiva, but the antinudists effected a compromise and a vaude- ville actress, whose epecialty is living statuary, was engaged to represent the historic benefactrees of Coventry. The actress, who {s sald to have complained that she could make haif a dozen summer frocks out of the gauze she was c-mpelled to wear, took an hour and a half to arrange her traillug hair and long draperies and then a special committee had tu approve of her costume before Lady Godiva was permitted to take her place in the pageant Lady Godiva, who flourished about the middle of the eleventh century, was the wile of Leofro, earl of Chester. She was a woman of great beauty and piety and the benefactress of many churches and monasteries. According to the legend, Lady Godiva begged her husband to re- Meve Coventry ofa burdensome tax and he consented to do 8o on the condition that she should ride naked through the entire place. This she did, covered only by her long hair, and thus won relief for the people. According to some versions of the story, the people were commanded to keep within thelr houses while Lady Godiva passed, and only one man. ‘Peeping Tom,” disobeyed, and he was miracuously stricken with blindness. Very Simple. Amoret Post, Every little while we read in the paper that someone has run a rusty nall in his foot or other portion of his body and !ockjaw resulted there- from and the patient died. It every person was aware of a perfect remedy for such wounds and would apply it, then such reports would cease. The remedy is simple, always at hand, can be applied by anyone—what is better, it ts infallible. It is simply to emoke the wound or any wound that is bruised or inflamed with a woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke will take the pain out of the worst thie remedy as much as they please, but when they are afflicted with such wounds, let them try it. Up-to-Date Card of Thanks. An unusual card of thanks was left at the office of the Atchison Globe last week. It follows: “I did not {eave a card of thanks when my hus- band died, but now that three months are passed I wish to have one printed. I desire to thank, not those friends who came in .when he lay dead in the house, and bustled around arranging the chaire and flowers, and answering the door, but those who have comein since the parade was over, and who have sat with me in my loneliness when they am torgotten.” All For Stealing a Gesling.

In payment of the order she went down in the handbag and produced something over 400 pennies. It’s against the postoffi e rales to accept over twenty five pennies in one lot, but our affa ble postmaster, alwaye looking to accommodate, began the laborious task of counting the amount strung out on the window Being about $3 shy, the lady produced a $10 bill to pay the balance. Then the post master Bill looked one of his hot weather looks and got busy. For change he passed back to the lady all the pennies she had presented and besidee, all there was in the drawer andin the pockets of the employes of the office. Shedidn’s say anything but loaded the cargo back into her handbag and walked out. How could she? ‘AndI don’t think she will ever come back,’ sald the poat- master ashe wiped the sweat from his brow and turned to wait on the lice of patrons who had been waiting until the lady with the pennies had been disposed of ” Campers at State Fair.

Write the Secretary at Sedalia for information. Country Newspapers. There is something quite touching in the loyalty of the averagecountry newspaper to the town in which it is published, and the lack of apprecia- tion {t meets atthe hands of the people and interests it so nobly sup- ports and heralds abroad. In the course of a week we look over many Missour! weekly newspapers, each one claiming that {ts town is the best in existence, its people the most cordial and progressive, its business advantages and resources without a rival; and yet, colums of the adver- tising space of those same papers are necessarily devoted to plate mat- ter because many of the business men take its efforts as a matter of its support. The editor’s desire is to serve the town in which he lives and those with whom he chances to mingle, and he is truly deserving of better encouragement and support than he too often recelves.—Hamil ton Hamiltonian.
