Leech died at his home in Chicago June 23rd, 1909. Funer- al services were conducted in that city by Grant Post, G. A. R., of which he was an honored member. The} body was brought to Mulberry by his brother-in-law, Robt. L. Braden, where services were conducted by Rev. C. V. Criss, attended by a large gathering old comrades and friends, and the remains were laid away by the side of his parents and daughter, Minnie Leech, who died 27 years ago. Owing to illness the widow and daughter were unable to accompany the body to Bates county. Monroe S. Leech was born in Shel- by, Ohio, October 9th, 1848.

Child Mangled By Reaper. Ural Ok., July.—The little daugh- ter of John Nichols, a farmer of Ural, was mangled in a reaper driven by her father. She was killed before the farmer could stop the machine. The child had slipped away from the home and gone into a wheat field in search of Nichols. Wearied, she sank down in the standing grain and went to sleep. The father, ignorant of her presence, drove the sharp sickles of the reaper into her body. stock of Oxfords, we Men's Oxfords $5.90 values......$3.65 300 values...... 3 3.50 values...... 208 3.00, 2.50 values 2.00 Pum; This sale is your golden Nfia-Summer Oxford Sale In order to radically reduce our enormous profit on this class of goods and will dispose of them at the following low prices: Children’s Oxfords, Sandals and Ankle-Stra at WHOLESALE COST Summer Footwear.

County. Missouri has a model county. It is “dry"’ and is without a baseball fan. It has a number of promising swains and the misses who would not for the world taste liquor, use tobacco, dance, play hearts or pinochle. Yet they manage to exist cheerfully. The Reverend Elmer E. Lacey, general secretary of the Missouri Sun- day School Association, in an address to the Presbyterian ministers, told all about this state of affairs, which he avows, obtains, in Hickory county, Missouri. There, he says, the adult Bible classes and other departments of the Sunday School have built up such rival activities as to annihilate com- pletely all desire for modern worldly attraction. The Sundayz in that dis- trict, he declares, are never profaned by the rude howlings of a baseball mob, but peace and quiet prevail. Mr. Laney, in urging the advan- tages of Bible study and Sunday School organization, strongly advo- cated the cradle roll whereby infants are listed as members. “Get the infant and you can get the parents,” he declared. ‘Why, if you have several hundred babies on your roll, you can send invitations to as Your Call THE RURAL PHILOSOPHER. Most people think along common- place lines. They have little or no originality and when they express an opinion about anything itin all prob- ability is an opinion they have heard expressed by somebody else. But once in a while we run across a real- ly original thinker. We have one in mind who used to deliver himself of a number of sentiments that ought to have been saved to the literature and philosophy of the world. It was customary out on the range to wear high heeled boots. One day the philosopher saw a cowboy with boot heels that must have been near- ly two inches high. He said: “‘When- ever I see a feller with that much leather on his heel 1 know there is durned little in his head. A man of brains never runs to boot heels.”” On another occasion he went to a store kept by a merchant who hadn't the most cnviable reputation. He drew from his pocket $2 and offered itto the merchant. ‘‘What is this for?” asked the merchant. “Well,” drawled the philosopher, ‘them last eggs 1 bought from you all had chickens in ‘em. Eggs is wuth 25 cents a dozen and chickens you the difference.” “There are a good many people," he said one day, ‘‘who git false no- tions into their heads. I used so have a petlamb that hed been raised up round the house. When it got to be a bigsheep we tried togit it to run with the other sheep, but it was all the time wantin’ to run round with us humans. Every day it hed to be fired out of the house. The cook got out) of patience with that sheep and sous- ed it with a pail of bilin’ hot water. The result was that all the wool and skin come off that part of the sheep where the hot water hit it. The next day I saw it ruminatin.’ I knew what it was thinkin’ about. ‘There ain’t no place for me,’ says that sheep, ‘I haven't no use for sheep and humans haven't no use for me. It would have been money in my pocket if! never had been born.’ There are plenty of people just like that sheep. IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW What a Heap of Happiness it Would Bring to Butler Homes.

Tyler, 507 Harrison St., Butler, Mo., says: “I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and found them to bea ‘splendid remedy for kidney trouble. I suffered from lumbago and my back was stiff and painful. I also had attacks of dizziness and could not sleep well at night. Finally my hus- band procured Doan's Kidney Pills for me at Frank Clay's drug store and afterI had used them a short ‘time I felt better in every way..”” The above statement was given in ' March 1906 and on Nov. 30, 1908 is wuth $2.25, I just wanted to pay) Mrs. Tyler said: “The cure Doan's | Kidney Pills effected in my case two | years ago has been permanent.

Pen. | Osceola Democrat, | In the Circuit Court last Friday, Rolla Robbins, charged with shoot: | ing his brother-in-law, withdrew his motion for a new trial and Judge: Denton sentenced him to two years in the penitentiary according to the jury verdict given several months ago. Huge petitions were presented to the! court asking that Robbins be paroled, but they were turned down.

A neighbor meeting the philosopher a short time afterward said, ‘‘That was too bad about Mr. Simpson being sud- denly killed.” “Oh, I dont know.” said the philosopher the last time I saw Bill he looked to meas if any sort of death would be a pleasant sur- prise to him.” One day a man was boasting that he never changed his mind. ‘“He’s right about it,”’ said the philosopher. “You can’t change the furniture in a room unless there’ some there to change.”’ “There is a man,”’ said he one day, referring toa man who was contin- ually butting into discussions where he really had no call to get in, “‘who is just like a cipher. You can add to him or subtract from him all day and at night you will have just what you started with in the morning.” ? “Things are bound to be evened up somewhere,’’ said he one day as he watched a man beating a horse. “The horse is getting the worst of it now, but some time in another world that horse will drive-and that man will have to pull the load, and I hope the horse will give him—.”” ‘4 size a man’s religion up more,” he said, “by the way he treats -his horse than by the ‘way he hollers at class meetin’.”’ “Tf all the fellers I have heard say I must say the Lord hasn’t used very selection ! all its demands. What a Rat Will Eat. Uncle Sam says that a rat will eat sixty cents’ worth of grain ina year. Their bill of fare includes everythin; that a boy with a bottomless bread- basket eats and more, too. For in- stance, such things as door jambs, ' harness and robes. It is calculated that a single pair of rats and their offspring, if allowed to produce with- out interruption and loss, would in three years increase to more than twenty millions. Rats!

Eight years after she left the glare of the footlights, married, got a divorce and returned to her old love at twenty- four. Notwithstanding the fact that her long career upon the boards (twenty-five years,) has left its marks on her face, she seems as ambitious and nimble at the head of her own company as she ever did.
