The photo here in, is a true likeness of Mr St. Clair McClain, who was born in the state of Louisinia, but has spent the most of his days in old Missouri. He has spent the past 18 years in the Pressroom of the Bazoo printing office, and is now at the same place. McClain have been in several kinds of business during his life in

Circling the loop in an Autimobile, ,,Hephisto"
The Highest Priced Feature with the Robeison Shows at Sedalia Sept 21
Mebhisto's great circling the loup act with John Robinson's shows demons rates the fact that the man who works the longest does not get the most money. His actual work covers 12 seconds a day six seconds at each performance. For this 12 second he receives $16. The law of supply and demand is responsible for this exalted figure for this one act. Public interest is appeased by its performance and John Robinson pays the bill. This "Riding the Loup" is a mervelous performance, during in the extreme and nothing like it has ever before been conceived and performed. Seated in an automobile on a little perch at the dome of the arena this dare-devil performer shoots down the narrow incline at a terrific speed. The great momentum sends the auto up into and around the barrel-shaped loop like a flash, and as he shoots around this cylinder his head hanging downward while the automobile obeying the law of centrifugal, firce clings to the surface. The reserve speed 'carries him into the arena from the tangent of his curved course, where the bowing and smiling audience after a short breath holding spell applauds this intrepid and skilled artist to the echo thrilled by the daring nerve of this marvelons performer.
I wish that the Negroes of Sedaiia would one time open their eyes so they might behold the great disregard that a certain white restaurant keeper has for them and their trade with him. Although to me it seems as though a blind man could easily see and understand the meaning of such treatment, this restaurant is patronized daily by many Negroes who spend money freely, but the accommodations accorded them is something horrible This restaurant has a number of tables for white people; a lunch cobber which one might term a horseshoe counter, two sides,

of which for whites, the other, the east, for Negroes, close to the wall. At the same time we may mention that the Negroes spend one-fourth of the money that is spent in this restaurant at night, and on show and Sunday nights it is a common thing to see a number of negroes standing up waiting for a chance to spend their money in this place. In most cases its a young man with a lady while Negroes are waiting for a chance. A number of tables are not always in use, which no Negro car use. Also in this restaurant is a common wash basin to be used by whites, not Negroes, therefore you may readily see the accommodations are not for Negroes, and at the same time one-fourth of the earnings come from them. This should be enough evidence to prove to every Negro patronizing it that he does not care his trade. He says you are not worthy of sitting at his tables or using his accommodations. Then you should fail to patronize him. It is time you should let him know that you have pride as well as the white people. Patronize our Negro restaurant like you do him and he will be able to in time to have as nice a place of business as can be found. A CILIZEN

The Lack of training In the Homes, one of the Evils of To-day.
A Paper-As read by Mrs Mammie B. Smith, at Taylor chapel M. E. Church, Sunday night, August 30th.
HOME-TRAINING should be considered a praiseworthy adjunct to our future purity.
Without home training what will become of our young people? If we save the children of to-day, we have saved the nation to-morrow. Why is evil pressing now as never before? Have mothers been unusually slack of late in their training of their sons?
It is an acknowlled ged fact that mother

re: great deal if they will toward training their sons for the warfare against evil which is pressing now as never before Is is not a fact that many of the mothers themselves have not had the training to fit they for so arduous a duty, that they often do not know the evil against which they should fight? Strange irregularity that of a public sentiment which has limited woman's activities to the sphere of home, their duties to making of a home and the rearing of children, and yet has left them ignorant of the requir-

ments endispensable to do such a work well! In all the education given to women by various systems, to the pnublic school, the private seminary, the convent, the home, they have not been taught the important facts of physical and moral nature; upon which the well *being of men and women* depends. More than that they have been encouraged in the beleif that these facts have in them something of impropriety of discussing, which pre
clindes the possibility of discussing, nay, of speaking of them. So when, in the experience of life, they come to a knowledge of these facts, they are, as it were gagged. They dare not open there mouths to their own children by way of instruction. Why, probably every boy of fifteen, knows somethings which if his mother had known before she married, she would have paused much longer to ponder the step she was about to take. She would have shrunk from the awlul responsibility, and would have seen the need for more definite instruction in that which was to be her life work. Many a mother goes to her grave after having brought sons into the world and lived a score of years with them, ignorant of their nature, quite in the dark as to those springs of their thought which their character are nourished,
There are scientific books not too abstruse to be comprehened by common mora's, which rarely fall into the hands of women. Those books contain knowledge which should be in the possession of all, but in some matters women are trained to think that ignorance is bliss, and in it they revel and glory. They are afraid of knowledge. I have known who have refused to let their daughters study prysiology or the outlines of it that are taught in our public school, for fear of some imaginary evil it would inflict upon them. We talk of education as a prime remedial agency against sin; i

has even been said that ignorance is the only sin. Let woman look to it that they rest not content in ignorance. We shall never have well trained men until women are not afraid. We never shall find the remedies for many existing social evils until womens eyes are unsealed to see and their tongues loosed to speak freely, passionaily and sutoritively. When this time comes there will be less evil to war against, and tue wisdom of mothers will find full occupation without warfare, in directing their sons and daughters to what is good and noble. Boys should be taught, at least by the time they are sent to school, something of the nature of the body and soul of yielding sin. Parents will find here that they have to contend against serious and powerful competition for the confidence of their own children.
A boy kept under his father's roof until he is fifteen or sixteen; taught sufficient to make self-control a binding duty upon cohescience, but but nothing to stimulate curiosity; fed with plain feed (not over fed.) kept busy in his mind with good things; taught to care for others, and not to live for himself; and sent to bed every night thoroughly tired, will have a good chance of escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust. The work of the home is a writing on wax, which retains the mark of every lightest touch of eail. "America looks today, not to legislative enactments, nor to public organizations, but to her Homes as containing the bud and pprime of her future glory."

The Times has stood in Sedalia for 10 years, Sept. 16, and has had its share of knockers, and hopes to live 10 more years, no matter how big the combines may be.
One of the main things which keeps the Negro out of the different trades is before he has learned them he is combining and trying to put his teacher out of a job. You know this is true, and you can't deny it.
When a man attempts to feather his own nest by stabbing his brother, friend or teacher in his back and causing his downfall, he will nevea succeed through life's long journey. Your deceitful evils will certainly find you out and react upon you in some way.
Hon. P. D. Hastain, returned to the city last Thursday after a few days in Warsaw, looking after the case of a colored boy who was shamefully whipped and drove out of town by a gang of lawless
white men of that town. Mr Hastain has time and again demonstrated to the public that he was a friend to the Negro, and has shown it in office and out without regards to their fine cloth, money or high standing in society, and has marked another proof of this fact with his actions in this case to defend a poor helpless Negro boy, who by the brutal scars on his head and body, put there by white men in Warsaw. Mo., without any cause whatever, or because he was moneyless, friendless, ragged and poor. Mr Haistain says that he has a good case and that he has brought suit against a number of them who were in the affair, and that he will learn somebody a lesson on whipping Negroes in Benton county.
It is a fact that there are a number of our proud Sedalia Negroes who are continually talking of the what the young man don't and won't do and they themselves are doing all they can to keep him from doing what he can to make a honest living. They seek to fatten the smoove-tongued and well-dressed strangers purse by using their money and influence against their home talent, and home industry,
Then they prop themselves up as leaders and as the cream of the race. We have help make men in nearly all avenues of life, but have never been guilty of trying to destroy and home enterprise. home industry nor the future success of any home individual, to fatten the treasures of some one who happen to drop in the town. The success of all home enterprises is our success, but the success of the stranger meads' nothing to industry.

A BIT OF ROMANCE
short story.
Their friendship was rather the result of a forced mutual dependence than anything else, and they drifted into it before either realized the turn events were taking. At first it had been nothing more than an interchange of a few remarks on leaving the hotel dining room in the morning, and an occasional chat on the piazza after supper. From this it became a regular thing to saunter together down to the boat landing for a pull across the lake before the sun made outdoor exercise impossible.
Then, because the mail came at 12, it suited them both to linger under the shade trees on the lawn until the distribution of letters began. It was on these occasions that they compared notes upon the subject of summer resorts in general and Fairview Springs in particular.
They were there for the same reason—rest and change of air. Both were eager to exchange the quiet of the place for the rush of their everyday life. It was not easy for him to shake off the thought of his neglected law practice and it was equally hard for her to forget the half-finished manuscripts calling for attention in her desk at home. With a frankness which was not flattering and which would have surprised either under other circumstances they only discussed their dismay over the prospect of remaining two months or longer at Fairview and bestowed their most ardent pity on all new-comers to the Springs.
If in the beginning, he had accepted the situation blindly, he was the first to realize it in its full significance for, argue with himself as he might, there was at least no overcoming the disagreeable truth that he had given his promise to one woman and his love to another. In his immost soul he knew he had no right to feel that perfect sense of happiness which had lately come to him. It was only when he was alone that conflicting emotions took possession of him. When he looked into her steadfast eyes he was conscious that she had moved him as no other woman had done. He did not tell himself that he had never loved until now; but knew it was because he wished he could undo the past, and this had never been the case before. He heeded her always, he would reason with himself, but whenever he used this argument he felt that she would be the first (could she know it) to assure him that he was striving after the shadow and not the substance. He was a weakling
trying to depend on her strength. A cablegram calling her home—her sudden departure one morning—these were things to recall her to the reality of life. A formal little note of farewell, two or three faded roses—and a memory were all he had to tell of the summer. Rudely awakened from his dream of happiness, he was like a man proping in the dark. "The right way!" he said to himself. "Which is right?" With his face buried in his hands, he thought the matter out. The spell of her presence was gone, but its fragrance remained.
She is also fighting out the battle alone. It is strange that actuated by the same feeling and arguing along the same lines they should have arrived at such widely different conclusions.
The first letter she wrote was not to him—but another man.
"Forgive me," it said, "for the pain I am about to cause you, for I can only give you back your promise and ask you to forgive me. There was a time when I believed that the calm friendship I had for you was love, but now I know that poor human hearts were made for more, and they will have their due. Do not reproach me, for it was not my fault that I learned this too late."
Then she began to turn the pages of one of her manuscripts, wearily trying to collect her thoughts. But a while ago everything was different. When she was tred there had been someone whose strong arms were ever ready to receive her; and now—but she could not think of it just then.
The letter that he wrote brought tears to the eyes of the girl who read it:
"I have been away for a long time,' it said, "but I am coming home tomorrow. As I look through my window I can see the foliage on the mountain side changing to red and purple, and yesterday I saw a flock of birds flying to the south. Think ot it; the roses were in bloom when I told you good-bye. Now I want to ask you to take me 'for better, for worse,' before the snow marks the winter time. For better, for worse, such as I am, take me and make me what you will of me. Heaven grant it may be 'for better.'"
