Since that time there has been much politics talked in the Senate. Bitter and Abusive Speech. This speech was virtually the clos- ing act of his career. The Senator’s death marks the passing of one of the last of the old- style politicians in Missouri. It is certain that he wielded a pronounced influence in Missouri politics and Missouri government through near- ly a half century. Senator Stone was an excellent public speaker, who never failed to interest his audience, and as his speeches usually were delivered in -he presence of strong party Demo- crats, he seldom failed ‘to win ap- plause. His speeches usually were filled withthe bitterest vituperation and abuse of any and all who opposed him or questioned his motives, and it was through this, coupled with an air of unspoken injured innocence, that he aroused his followers to fight for him. There will be many of his intimate fi‘ends 9 Missouri who will cherish the memory of the Senator as a friend upon whom they could rely, for he was known as a man who always remembered his friends, and he. had an ingratiating way which wen the persona! friendship of near- ly everybody who met him.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. ITTLE French boys smoke when there is any- L thing to smoke. That’s why—when they grow up—they make such excellent snipers—also why—to use W. C. T. U. logic—they astonish the world with the best soldiers. When the kids see an American they say ‘‘good morning, sir!’’ or ‘‘good night, sir!’’ But they are just as apt to say ‘‘good morning, sir!’’ at night—as they are on their way to school. They seem to go to school abont 8 o’clock and to return about 6 o’clock. But maybe that’s just during the war—so that their mothers can work with- out having them smoking all over the house. French children believe in fairies all righto! They think every American carries around a bag of gold just to hand out sous to sweet-toothed childhood, They are too polite, in many cases, to ask brazenly for a penny, but beseech the passing Yankee—not for a sou—but camouflage the word and ask for a sou-venir. Venir meaning in French ‘‘to come’’-—perhaps they mean—‘‘Come across with a sou.’’ But we would have to come across with more sous than the boats coula carry—for the woods are full of cunning kids over here. a Ra La] La According to the New Republic, this is a bona fide letter by two Japanese on the Pacific Coast to their employer: 7 We are so sorry to trouble you that we compelled to present a petition to you.

Our job has so much responsibility on us; yet wages is comparatively cheap and it quite unable to leave eyes even a short time. The sound jars on our nerves so much we feel getting so weak day by day. A man cannot help being partial their own avarice for the money. Of course, we are trying our best on job but we are uncomfortable about wages all the time. This might give rise a shortage of efficiency.
