Sedalia Times

VOLUMN X No 12 PART 2 The Lack of Training in the Home By Mrs Mammie B. Sm The Lack of Training in the Homes, One of the Evils of today By Mrs Mammie B. Smith, of Sedalia, Mo. Home-training should be considered a praise-worthy adjunct to our future purity. Without home-training what would become of our young people? If we save the children of today 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? In all the education given to women by various systems, the public school, the private secondary, 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. There are scientific books not too obtruse to be comprehended by common mortals, which now It is an acknowledged fact that mothers can do a great deal if they will toward training their sons for the warfare against evil, which is pressing now as never before. Is it carelessness or ignorance? Is it not a fact that many of the mothers themselves have not had the training to fit them THE WOMAN WHO WAS A WOMAN MRS. MAMMIE B. SMITH. 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 the making of a home and the rearing of children, and yet has left them ignorant of the requirements indispensable to do such a work well.

In all the education given to women by various systems, the public 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. There are scientific books not too obtruse to be comprehended by common mortals, which rarely fall into the hands of women. These 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 some who have refused to let their darghters sthdy phy siology or the outlines of it that are taught in the public school, for fear of some imaginary evil it would inflict upon them. We talk of education as the prime remedial agency against sin; it has even been said that ignorance is the only sin. Let women look to it that they rest not content in ignorance. We shall never have well trained men until women are SEDALIA TIMES. SEDALIA MISSOURI, DECEMBER 19 1903 Ladies Department and Politics—Christmas Edition. not afraid. We shall never find the remedy for many existing evils until womens' eyes are unsealed to see and their tongues loosened to speak freely, dispassionately and authoritatively. When this time comes there will be less evil to war against, and the 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, of the temptations they will hav eto face and of the fearful consequence to body and soul of yielding to sin. Parents will find here that they have to contend against serious and powerful competitors for theconfidence 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 conscience, but nothting to stimulate curiosity; fed with plain food (not over-fed); kept busy in his mind with good things; taught to care for others, and not to live for himstiff; 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 writing on wax, which retains the mark of every lightest touch forever. More than that, they have been encouraged in the belief that these facts have in them something of impropriety, of indelicacy, which precludes 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 their mouths to their own children by way of instruction. Why, probably every boy of fifteen knows some things 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 awful 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 "America looks today, not to legislative enactments nor to public organizations, but to her homes as containing the bud and promise of her future guory." THE PURE HOME ATMOS I HERE. We were once deeply impressed by the remark of a thoughtful friend who said in our hearing: 'The home in which I was reared was narrow, poor, and almost hard but it was pure as the breath of a May morning in the mountains. Never once did I hear a word spoken there that was irreverent, vulgar, or even of doubtful propriety. The recollections of the high and almost austere virtue that surrounded my early days has braced me in the thick of the fight during my later life.' What a word was that! Speaking lightly or contemptuously; or, religion, as if it were a matter to be despised, or, at least to be ignored, in the regulation of conduct, and a fit subject for jest and merriment; inulging in a constant flow of censorious and critical remarks concerning the church, its institutions, and its ministers; sneering at all pretensions to con- H. sistent uprightness in character and action; speaking of honor and honesty, of truth and purity, in terms which intimate that they are not to be found in the world; laughing at sin as if were a mere pecadillo, and not a damning fault; toying with all high and sacred things, and thus dragging them down to the level of the commonplace and profane—such follies as these serve the purpose of Satan and drive away the influences of the Holy Spirit from the heart. We have listened, with a wonder that bordered on amazement, to fathers and even mothers, as they filled the sensitive minds of their children with false lessons of irreverence and donbt, of suspicion and mistrust, of dishonesty and uncleanliness, and so closed and barred the doors to all better and hoier teschings. —Christian Advocate. Parents would do well to consider with loving care how they make the home circle attractive for the children and young people. Good books and magazines to read, innocent games to play, should be provided, and parents should seek to enter heartily into all that properly entertains and benefits their children. If this be done there will be less temptation to seek else where that which the home ought to provide. The home ought to be made the most attractive spot in the world, and some thoughtful care on the part parents can easily make it so. Then will memory in after years recall its joys with pleasure.—Christian Observer. Price $1 25 FOUR PAGES Cranberry Sauce. Boiled Rice Browned Sweet Potatoes Peas, Shaddock Sherbert.

MASSACHUSETTS TRADING MBC POLITICAL DEPARTMENT As the political boom has begun to rise in the minds of hundreds of voters of Pettis county, we have endeavored to speak some things about certain candidates and prospective candidates that we know are now in the race for next spring and fall's campaign. Among them several Democratic candidate's names are mentioned, but we wish to state here that the Sedalia Times stands today the same as it has for the past te nyears—uncheckably Republican—and will stand for the same should it live ten more years under the same editor and manager. The negroes of Pettis county have a chance to better their condition, but they must lay close to the grand old party that has led them safe thus far, and will lead them to victory should they remain firm and unchangeable. Below we have given only a few of the many names of the different candidates who will be before you for your consideration in next spring's and fall campaigns, and it is wise that you should know for yourself these men before you make up your mind or begin electioneering. We speak of them as we know them, not as paid articles nor merely reading matter, but from a standpoint of truth and personal knowledge: For president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, who should receive the vote and unaniomus support of every negro upon American soil. Below we present to our readers the photo of our true friend and statesman, ```markdown ``` J. B. Hon. J. H. Bothwel, representative of Pettis county, who is acknowledged the state over as a party leader and one of its most eminent lawyers. Hon. Mr. Bothwell has for the past six or eight months been mentioned by the leading newspapers of the state as the proper man to lead the great Republican party to victory in the next fall Hon. J. H. Bothwel, representative of Pettis county, who is acknowledged the state over as a party leader and one of its most eminent lawyers. Hon. Mr. Bothwell has for the past six or eight months been mentioned by the leading newspapers of the state as the proper man to lead the great Republican party to victory in the next fall ```markdown ``` For Governor. campaign. The party leaders and party papers know so well of his ability his qualifications and fitness, not only to this state's progress, but he is a leader among leaders and a power in the counsels of the great Republican party. Without fear of man or ring or boodler, Hon. J. H. Bothwell has not as yet publicly announced himself as a candidate, but his many friends in every corner of the state are crying, "Bothwell is the man to lead Missouri out of the hands of boodlers, place it in the calmuns of Republican prosperity and progress, along with the other four leading states of the union." The negro voter in every town or city in this state can find in Honorable Bothwell a true friend to the negro, one who will at all times and in all places honor and respect them as long as they hold out to be "men." Not only respect the mas voters and citizens, but one who will respetec their ability and fitness to serve in public appointment or elections, the same as in servantship. Color cuts no figure with men like him, who believe as the constitution says, "that all men are born free and equal before God and the law." What more can the thousands of negro voters of our state expect from any public office holder. What more can they expetc to receive from any man in national, in state, county or city affairs. What more can they expect from any party that exists under our flag or any other. What the negro wants in this state is equal rights and a fair chance. We believe [Name] that with such men as Hon. Bothwell as our executive, that fair play, equal rights and justice toward all men will be the true motto of Missouri, and the boodler, grafter and negro hater will find no place in the government of our commonwealth. We appeal to the negroes of Missouri in the name of right, justice and for our future prosperity to rally and support a man for --- OUR TOWN'S TALK.

Lift men up. For Circuit Judge. It has been said by a large number of leaders in local politics of this county that Hon. Louis Hoffman, one of Pettis county's leading lawyers and member of the Pettis county bar, may be a candidate for circuit judge of Pettis county. Six year ago Mr. Hoffman was in this fight against the present incumbent and by some means, never known to us he was defeated by 49 votes. No man in the boundary of the county has made any better reocrd as a lawyer and a gentleman than Mr. Hoffman. He is understood to be an authority in all departments of law. Should Mr. Hoffmann consent to make this race again next fall, he should receive the hearty support of every negro in this county, because he has always proven to be their friend in all places and in all cases, regardless of their finances or education. George F. Longan. Who has served the people of this county during the past term of six years as circuit judge, as has made one that every lawyer, citizen or criminal can say a good word for. Judge Longan was elected with a Democratic majority of 49 and has made a fair officer ever since. We do not know if he is a candidate for re-election or not, but should he be, he will be a strong man to beat, from teh fact that he had made so many warm friends during this term.

We do not know if he is a candidate for re-election or not, but should he he he will be a strong man to beat, from the fact that he has made so many warm friends during this term. Clay C. Kelly. We take this opportunity to say a word in behalf of Mr. C. C. Kelly, the present prosecuting attorney, who is now filling his first term in this important office. The people of this proud county made no mistake when they elected him as their prosecutor. Everything that he said during his campaign has been fulfilled to a letter. He said if elected he would serve the people to the best of his ability and would administer the law to all the same, without regard to his color, wealth or politics. His record as prosecuting attorney has proven this. on one man or set of men has said that he has failed to do his duty. Then since this is a fact, we should return him next fall without any hitch, for he has proven to be the man that the office wants and that the people of Pettis county need in the office. If he should ask for the second term, we see no reason why he should not have it, if past record and good services speak L'S SEDAL because it is the favorfte Drink among one of Sedalia's best Families for an I made from the best material and I for it: Whea you Dr The best Beer on the market for family Use QUINN SALO For good Christmas Drink Waiskiss, Wine, B:11/1 QUINN'S SALOON.

Mr. Cashman is and always has been a strong leader in his party and a power in its politiaca machine, who numbers his friends by the many. If he should secure the nomination his friends believe that the battle will be a bitter one, for the honors of this office. The present chief of police, who was elected two years ago, and has so faith fully discharged every duty connected with this office with such care and pride that a host of warm friends have been booming him as afavorite candidate for sheriff to succeed Joe Dillard, next fall on the Democratic side of the fence. Few men of his political opinion stand better with all classes of voters tahn Mr. Love. He has so conducted teh duties of this office as to assure him of great strength for the office of sheriff and if the county should be as strong as the city, there is but little doubt of his nomination.

James Conner for Sheriff. James Conner, who was elected last election as constable is now being asked of very strongly as a candidate sheriff on the Democratic ticket. Conner has made a fair constable if never instance did what he ought right in performing his duty to the same. He has made but few enemies and a number of friends and for this reason he will be a strong candidate in the Democratic conven- n for this office. FOR CHIEF OF POLICE. There are a number of candidates already out for this office. Among them are William poult. As a Republican candidate the people of this city now too well of Mr. Boult as alice officer as to doubt his qualifications for chief. He is one of Sedalias most reliable officers, one who has made a record in such work that he need not be ashamtd off, and one that an recommend him for any honors conferred upon him by the people of Sedalia. He has always proven to be a perfect gentleman and astrong Republi- Another among this number or chief of police is that of toward Woods, who is a Democratic candidate for this hon. Mr. Woods' friends are pushing his claims for this position because they have found in him perfect and upright gentleman and a fearless city officer, one that has made friends and who will add to the Democratic cause in the spring election. The name of O. H. Cue is now being pushed by a number party men as a candidate for chief of police among the Repubicans. Mr. Cue is a young man and a lift-long Republican, who numbers his friends by the hundred among old and young, black and white. Should he become a candidate for this lie he will certainly be a hard man to overcome. He has the qualifications and ability to serve the people of this city as creditable chief. All he wants a chance. Officer C. W. Leftwich is also candidate for chief of police LEMP ST. LOUIS ```markdown ``` E.C. CASSIDY WHOLESALE LIQUORS E.C. CASSIDY AP LAUNDRY on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Leftwich was a candidate two years ago, but was overcome by tht citizens' movement, but he and his friends have entered the race again. We know of no mean things concerning Officer Leftwich, only that he has made a good police officer and in every sense of the word performs his duty with care and pride. He has a large number of friends in all classes and circles who would like to see him as city marshal, because they have learned of his ability and his qualifications for the same. POLITICAL GOSSIP. There is still some talk of J. A. Robb being a candidate for marshal. Ex-County Treasurer J. D. Franklin is said to be a candidate in the next county election. Mayor Babcock has made a fair mayor. He was electtd to fill out an unexpired term and then by a citizens' movement and now it would not be out of the way to elect him on a straight Republican ticket. S. M. Hodges is likely to be in the next fall campaign, perhaps. Chas. D. Brown will be a candidate to succeed himself as county assessor. R. A. Higdon is kinder thinking of entering the race for city attorney. The friends of A. L. Shortridge don't think that he will have any trouble in succeeding himself for city attorney next spring if he desires it. John Waddell has made a fair city collector in spite of his Democratic ideas and citizen movement thoughts. Edward Andler can win the city treasuryship with hands down next spring. The question is, does he want it or does he want something bigger? Judge Kinsey is said to be a MO. PAC The Old Wishes you a Merry Christmas see them for your Christmas drive MO. PAC. BAR.

Well, he may make a fair judge, because he has a large number of friends during his term as justice of the peace and many of them will support him for this offict. He never was so bad. Frank Monroe will be a candidate for city assessor among the Democrats. Frank is a young Sedalian and has made a fair assessor during his first term. Yes, our old friend, J. W. Truxel, will be a candidate for police judge next year and will be hard to beat. He has made such fair and impartial justice that he will have no trouble in securing the nomination and election for this place. He has proven to be the man that this office wants and the man of the choice of all the people. H. D. Dow is said to be a candidate for city attorney. Well, Harvey is all right and a nice young man. He will make a creditable attorney and a desirable counsellor. Yes, next spring would be a good time to start a negro for alderman. What think you of this? Jerome Castle will be a candidate for representative next year. He still has that longing. A Few of Our Negroes Who Are in Constant Service With the M., K. & T. and Missouri Pacific Railways in Our City. Below we have attempted to say a word of praise in behalf of the few negroes who have spent numbers of years in constant service in the railway i nour city, and today are among the most prominent men of our city, and who own some of the best real estate on some of the most popular streets north of the Missouri Pacific depot. These are some of the men that every Sedallan can point to with great pride: Mr. T. M. Smith, who is now employed as porter on the M., K. & T. railway. Mr. Smith has been working in this position constantly for the past 32 or more years. During this long time he has never lost even one pay day; nor has he ever laid off or been laid off, only on account of illness. Mr. Smith has a loving family, a loving wife, and three bright young children. They now reside in their handsome home on West Morgan street. Mr. Smith also owns three other handsome houses and lots, two on East Morgan street and the other west of Thos. M. Smith. the one he now lives in. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are both noted for their untired church working, their businesslike manner and their social efforts. Chas. Braziar. Mr. Chas. Braziar, who is now a porter on the M., K. & T. railway, and who has spent the past 30 years with that company. Mr. Braziar has put in the principal time during this period, and has lost but only a very few days, but what he was not under the command of his conductor. He has a pleasant family and they now live in their own property on East Cooper street. His wife is one of the leading ladies of the Morgan Street Baptist church. Chas. Phillips. Who is now in the employ of the M., K. & T. railway, and who has held this employment for the past 30 years. Mr. Phillips, like all the rest, is well thought of by the railroad officials, as well as the respective conductors. He owns a nice and well-fitted home on East Morgan street, and is well thought of by every one. PETER ABBQTT. We refer here to our friend, Peter Abbott, who has spent the past eight years as train porter on tht M., K. & T. railway. He is one of Sedalia's most reliable young men, and prominent in the very best society, and one whose future points to great success. He resides on West Morgan street in a well fitted homestead with his mother. Dan Jones. Another one who has spent over 20 years with the M., K. & T. railway as train porter, and is yet under the direction of his conductor (Mr. Hongerford). Mr. Jones has a nice and comfortable home on East Morgan street, and he and his wife are well thought of in society circles and in church. Elias Fletcher. Among the negro train porters who have served a number of continuous years in service for the popular M., K. & T. railway, Mr. Fletcher has also been engaged in this work for the past 22 or 23 years, and has lost but little time and a very few pay days. He has one of the finest homes on East Morgan street, and is one of the leading men of the A. M. E. church. Chas. W. Holliday. Mr. Holliday is one that we can also refer to with much credit. Mr. Holliday has been steadily employed at the Missouri Pacific depot for the past 20 years, and is still at his post of duty today. Mr. Holliday has held this position longer than any other negro has ever held any position with this road in Sedalia. He has so conducted his duty with such pride and honesty that he has gained the confidence of all connected with the road. He has an elegant homestead on East Cooper street which is an ornament to that street. He and his wife are among our most prominent people and are strong workers and supporters of the A. M. E. church Lincoln Hightower. Another one of our proud young men, who is now employed with the M., K. & T. railway, and has been for a large number of years. Mr. Hightower is a quiet man and is well thought of by all who know him, because he has proven himself to be a gentleman in every respect while living in and around our city. James Newbels. One of Sedalia's own boys, who was raised about three and one-half miles south of tis city, is another one of our popular M., K. & T. train porters. He served for several years before he accepted the position as policeman. After fulfilling this duty e retired and is again doing porter work for this road. Mr. Newbels has one of the finest homes on West Morgan street, and is looked upon as one of our best citizens and a good worker in the Morgan Street Baptist church, along with his able wife, who has made great progress as a school teacher and a leader in church work. James Thomas. Possibly one of the oldest negro train porters from this city, who is now in the same position. He, too, like all the rest, has a handsome, well-fitted ohme on West Cooper street and a delightful family. John Finnus, young in age, but fair- ly old in railroading as train porter, is another one of our young men who has amde a good name for his faithful and honest service with the M., K. & T. railway. Mr. Finnus has a small family, who now reside on East Pacific street, and is well thought of by all. Isaac Reynolds. We point to this young man, not as an old timer in the railway service as porter, but as a young man whose future points to success in this particular line. He has only served several years, but these years each stands out as a recommendation for the future. He has a small family, who reside on East Morgan street, and is loved and respected by all.

Have you thought of a kind act that you may do next week to make some poor person happy on Christmas? Have you planned out what you will do in the next year, should you live, that will help to raise your fellow man or to further the advantage of your race? Have you thought of the past life that you have been living, and are you prepared to begin with the new year and live a better life?

A man who advertises a little bit and quits is sure to lose his money, The first advertising that is done is merely preparatory. It introduces the advertiser to his public; it gains acquaintance for him. After a while he becomes so well known that in reality he is talking to old friends. The words of old friends have much more weight than those of strangers. There is no doubt about that. Any one can take it right home to himself. The first few times you meet a man and talk with him you are taking his measure. You are deciding in your own mind what manner of a man he may be; what he does; what line of business he is in, and whether he is honest or not. It is only after the acquaintance has progressed a little Trade some after acquaintance—not before. Copyright, Charles Austin Bates, New York. "He is sure to get erroneous ideas into his head." THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS Since Joe Folk has announced his eandacy for the nominator for governor on the democratic ticket, it can be said that the political pot has begun to simmer. Mr Folk is supposed to stand for all that is honorable and right from a democratic standpoint. While either Hawes Reed or Gantt are supposed to stand for Butler democracy, otherwise known as the State House Ring. It is known that Hawes and Reed both hate Folk with a hatred both deep and wide—and will do almost anything to bring about his defeat, but the fact remains that Folk has the hearts of decent democrats, while Hawes and Reed has the ring mentioned. We as republicans have nothing to do with their fight. For more than thirty years the democratic party has had undisputable control of every department of our state government, and for every day of that time have they been entrenching themselves in power. For more than twenty-five years the republicans have laid siege and waged war without avail against the corrupt policies of that party. Our assaults on their fortifications have only resulted in forcing them to strengthen their lines, hence the Nesbit law. Bad as this law is it is not the worst thing yet that can be truthfully said against state house ring democracy. But after having entrenbhed themselves in power by nefarious laws which laws are put into the hands of the Metropolitan police officials for execution. We want to know who are the Metropolitan police officials and what have they done? It is much easier to tell what they have not done. During the last city election in St Louis five or six hundred men dressed in grotesque costumes, known as Ed Butler's Indians, went from one ward to No. 39. I "The first few times you meet a man you are taking his measure." tle that you give his words much weight. Advertisements are the representatives of their authors. People become acquainted with a man through his advertisements, Trade comes after acquaintance, not before. The first few ads serve only as a foundation. If you build the cellar walls and quit you will only have made a hole into which you are pretty nearly sure to fall. another, with clubs and pistols, and cursek and intimidated the republicans. The Metropolitan police never arrested a single one of them. It is a notorious fact that James Minnis—a man well known and respected by everybody in Central Missouri—had been brutally assaulted by Butler's Indians. He called on a police sergeant for protection. The sergeant told him that there was no protection for him, that he had got no more than he deserved. As stated above the worst thing that can be said about the democrat party is yet to be considered, viz: Boodling. The idea that a large majority of all the representatives, both of the House and Senate, banding together for the sole purpose of robbing the state, is so gigantic in both its conception and successful execution that the ordinary man stands amazed.

"Is it a smash—utterly and absolutely a smash. Well, it's no good whining—I'm done for." Jack gave a sigh, for there was something more than financial loss impending and he knew it. Throughout the seven and twenty years of his life he had been accustomed to regard himself, and had been regarded by others, as a rich man's son. Wetmore & Wetmore had always been held above suspicion. As he sat in his comfortably furnished rooms he could hear the cries of the newsboys with the spechial edition of the evening papers— "Further details of the Wetmore failure." He rose from the table and pushed the papers wearily from him. Strolling from the dressing room adjoining he exchanged his smoking jacket for a dress coat and arranged his tie with a critical air. "If it is to be my last appearance," he said, "at least I'll make it as outwardly respectable as I can." Then he frowned and looked thoughtfully at the fire, his hand unconsciously moving toward the mantlepiece till it touched a massive silver frame containing a portrait, a recent one evidently, of a particularly handsome girl. "It's no good, Bessie—no good, my dear. I dare not speak to you now. I'm done for." Twenty minutes later the butler at Blansford's announced Mr. Wetmore, and after a few words with Mrs. Blansford, his hostess, he passed into the ball room. In all the brilliant crowd there was only one face he looked for, one well known figure for the sight of which he yearned. At last, after wandering through several rooms, he saw her. She was sitting under a shaded lamp, apparently paying but little attention to the man who was talking to her. But the instant Mr. Wetmore passed through the door she beckoned to him. "Come and sit here, Jack," said she, pointing to the vacant seat just left by the other man. She regarded him with an amused little smile and a nod of approval. She was a young woman with ideas of her own, ```markdown ``` We make our Candy, and we know what we are selling you. That's why we say that our candy is the best and purest.

EVERYTHING ALWAYS FRESH and she appreciated the light, careless manner with which he seemed to carry his misfortune. "You don't look very doleful, Jack, under the circumstances." He laughed a little. "My dear Miss Blansford, do you think it would help matters if I went about looking like a mute at a funeral?" "And pray, my dear Jack," she retorted, mockingly, "since when have I become 'Miss Blansford?'" "Since I heard the news last night," he answered grimly. "Oh, very well, if you are going to pout and quarrel with your friends just because you've lost a little money——" "It may be a little, but unfortunately it happens to be all I've got. I owe a good deal besides." Wetmore rose and held out his hand. He was fast losing his self-control. "I must be off. I came only to say good-bye to you." Miss Blansford closed her fan with a snap. "Sit down, Jack, at once, and don't be an idiot." Taken aback at this sudden and preemptory command, he obeyed. "Now, then, what was it you really came to say to me." "To say good-bye, and ask you to wish me good luck," he answered. "What would you have said if things had—had been different? Shall I tell you?" she whispered. "You would have said, 'Bessie, I love you.' And now, just because you're a goose and an idiot, and I happen to possess more money than I know what to do with, you would rather die than say four simple little words like that." "Oh, Bessie."

And yet through sheer obstinacy you are putting poor Bessie to the trouble of making a formal proposal for the honor of your hand in marriage." Wetmore sprang to his feet. "I won't listen," said he.

Then Jack said: "You've won, Bessie," drawing her to himself, "and heaven give me the power to make you happy!" "Well, then, there's one thing you must not do, Jack." "And that?" "You mustn't make me fight so hard to get my own way again." WHY WEAR BULLETS? Shed that nappy head, Use Straightline and have nice fine flowing locks, For sale at Owl Drug Store, 211 West Main.
