CAN'T BE SUPPRESSED.
"You can't squelch a bov." said Gov- I
ernor Stone. "I have had some rich
experiences with them. At the beginning
of my campaign against Warner,
in 1892, the Kansas Star published
the canard that I had not paid my
road tax, and the report gained some
credence among the Republicans of
south Missouri. A short time afterward
I spoke during the night at Joplin.
There were torches galore, flambeau
clubs and bands, and I was riding
with local notables in a fine carnage
drawn by four horses at the head of
the procession. In passing close to a
high building I noticed between me and
the brick wall a ragged and dirty faced
boy. He carried a smoking torch in
his hand and was running beside the
carriage looking up in my face with a
innif ovidpntlvintended to wither. When
I looked, he gave a rousing hurrah for
Warner, and when I bowed to him he
yelled with admirable sarcasm, while
still running:
"'You'd better go home old hoss, and
pay your taxes instead of ridin' around
here in four hoss carriages. These
streets are all paid for.' He was reading
me a lesson in citizenship. It's a
way boys have.
"Warner relates a similar experience
to me. He was speaking at a picnic in
SouXh Missouri. He was provoked several
times by an urchin perched in a
small tree near by who persisted in
crying out in the most offensive manner
possible: 'What's the matter with
Stone? He's all right.'
"Warner conceived what he thought
a happy idea of making a point on his
tormenter, and, turning to the boy in
the tree, he said:
" 'Fellow citizens, I don't know, but
I will venture the assertion that that
boy's daddy is a Democrat?an ideal
Missouri Democrat?who sits on a rail
fence, chews tobacco, spits and whittles
while his crops make themselves,
who is dead against everything new
and lets his wife do the work.'
"He thought his remarks would settle
the matter; but to his dismay, the
boy in the tree yelled back:
" 'You've got the old man sized up
about right, cap; but he's a Republican.
But ma's all right. She's a
Democrat, and she's raisin' me.' The
major wilted, and the crowd laughed,
while the boy yelled again, 'What's the
matter with Stone? He's all right!' "
. ?Champ Clarke's Cloak Room Stories.
tkru tad'c nonwi
jnwn i r%t\ w wuwt??.
The author of "From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic," writing of the sailor's
habit of grumbling, says: "The dinners
are all the same?that is to say, Monday's
dinners are all alike, and what we
have today we shall have this day six
months hence. Jack's forefather this
day 100 years ago had the same menu,
and made the same uncomplimentary
remarks about the dishes, and 100
years hence on this day Jack's children
will growl over the salt horse and
plumless duff." The author also tells
this "yarn" to illustrate that Jack's
habit of grumbling can't be cured and
must be endured:
Once upon a time there lived a skipper
whose wife said to him that if she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her husband
took ner with him on a voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh vegetables,
the bread was white and with_
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the skipper's wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husband's breakfast.
She took them out of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them and roasted them and
sent them to the forecastle on the cab
in china.
"Now the men," she said to herself,
"will know how much we think of their
comfort."
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as a cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge a fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, "I say, Bill, what
d'ye think this 'ere bloody fowl died
of?"
USE FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
One of the greatest humorists in Missouri
is Major Henry A. Newman, of
Huntsville. He was a brave Confederate
soldier and a rough and ready orator
of great power. In his speeches
during the recent campaign he eschewed
"the paramount issue" of imperialism.
Whether he did so because
he was not posted on that topic or
whether because he took no stock in it
this deponent saith not. However that
may be, his failure to discuss imperialism
gave him the opportunity to
make the wittiest retort that I either
heard or heard of during the recent
campaign. The major made a speech
at Poplar Bluff, had a magnificent audience
and was in fine fettle. He discussed
finance and trusts with great
eclat, larruped the Republicans in
great shape and was coming down on
the home stretch in an easy canter
when his serenity was disturbed by a
voice inquiring, "How about the Philippayins?"
The brogue with which the
question was put left no doubt as to
the nativity of the gentlemen seeking
information.
The major paid no attention to his
interrogator, but proceeded with his
speech.
"How about the Philippayins?" came
again with an emphasis indicating
that the gentleman was not to be ignored.
The major's sense of humor
came to his relief. With a perfect
imitation of the brogue he replied:
' "My friend, I will tell you about the
Philippayins. I'll tell you confidentially
what I'm in favor of doing with the
Philippayins. I'd trade the Philippayins
to Great Britain for Ireland, and
men h? couiu raise our own policemen!"
which was received with a roar
of laughter from the palpitating
throng.?Champ Clark.
Married and Worried.?She wept.
"'Oh, you editors are horrid!" she sobbed.
.
"What is the trouble, madam?" inquired
the editor.
"Why, I?boo?boo?I sent in an obituary
of my husband, and?boo?and
said in it that we had been married for
20 years, and you?oo?oo?boo?hoo?
your printers set it up 'worried for 20
years.' "
She wept. Thu editor grinned. Perhaps
it was 'all right. Who knows?
