Copyright, 1902, by Champ Clark.
There Is a legend to the effect that
Mien Benjamin Franklin was minister
plenipotentiary and envoy extraordi
nary to the court of Versailles tind was
introduced to the beautiful and unfor
tunate Queen Marie Antoinette and
she extended her hnnd to be kissed, as
is usual In such cases, sly old Ben as
tonished her and her courtiers by
clasping her In his arms and planting
ou her royal lips n kiss that resounded
throughout the world. I confess I have
always regarded that osculatory story
as apocryphal.
However thnt may be, one of Missou
ri's governors Indulged In one kiss
which was discussed universally in
Missouri nnd somewhat throughout the
country.
Governor Crittenden's most celebrat
ed act while In the gubernatorial chair
was breaking up the James gang, for
which he was- both extravagantly
praised and unmercifully abused.
Ills second most celebrated net was
more in the nature of comedy than
tragedy. Whether he had ever heard
of Franklin's caper with the consort
of Louis XVI. I am not Informed. At
auy rate, he closely Imitated tho captor
of the lightning on one occasion. He
was In the flower of hjs years when
he was Introduced to the "divine Pat
ti." and before she kuew what the
handsome governor was up to he gave
her a kiss which excited debate from
Iowa to Arkansas and from the Mis
sissippi to the mouth of the raging
Kaw.
Lawyers Not All Somber.
Some folks have an Idea that a law
yer to be of any account must bo long
faced and somber countenanced. Of
such tenacity and force Is this theory
that Tom Corwln, the greatest humor
ist that over appeared on the Ameri
can hustings or at tho American bar.
In his old age when delivering a lec
ture to a law class was constrained to
say (no doubt speaking from bitter ex
perience): "Young men, If you desire n
reputation for wisdom, never joke; be
as solemn as an ass!" Likewise Proc
tor Knott 'declares that his famous
Duluth speech, which set all mankind
to laughing, ruined his Influence in
congress as a lawyer. People were al
ways expecting something funny from
the brilliant Kentuckiau.
Many others have concluded erro
neously that the practice of law is al
together dry and that court papers are
as devoid of humor as Is the Great Sa
hara of water. This Is not true, how
ever.
A Rare Trio of Names.
Among the files of tho Pike county
circuit court is a netltion written b
ex-Congrossnian Colonel Pat Dyer for

cently proved that he used no such
magnificent language, but what ho
really said to the British commanding
ofllccr was, "You darned old rat, come
out of that hole!" This Ethan Allen
Is the pleasant journalist up In Lafay

was while In Missouri a bloodthirsty
and Irreconcilable "rebel" long after
the Confederate bauncr was furled for
ever nud Confederate soldiers were
pursuing the paths of peace. He once
published a lurid account of "the Pal
myra massacre" and swore by all that
was holy that he Intended to republish
It with Increasing lurldness on every
anniversary of that bloody event. Sud
denly he removed to the hyperborean
regions of Dnkota ancfjust as suddenly
blossomed out as a stalwart Republic
an and porforiped the repentant rebel
prodigal son act with great eclat to
audiences of tho truly loyal. For
awhile he created n tremendous uproar
In his new role, b'ut recently ho has
dropped completely out of sight. How
ever, he once employed Colonel Dyer
as his attorney, and here is the peti
tion, which deserves a place In Dis
raeli's "Curiosities of Literature:"
A Remarkable Petition.
"Pat Donan and Ethan Allen, plain
tiffs, versus tho Louisiana and Missou
ri River Railroad company, defendant;
In tho Pike county circuit court, fall
term, 1873.
."Plaintiffs state that In 1870 and
1871 they were and have ever since
continued to be copartners in business
under the. firm name and style of Do
nan & Allen; that said firm was and Is
engaged In publishing what Is known
us the Lexington Caucasian, a newspa
per (so called) printed and published at
Lexington, Mo.; that the chief editor of
said paper, to wit, Pat Donan, Is an
unwashed and uuregenerate rebel. In
favor of a 'white man's government.'
opposed to negro suffrage and all other
similar and modern improvements and
Is nnd has been in favor of the repudia
tion of the national debt, a debt con
tracted for the purpose of saving tho
nntlon from the hands of said editor
nnd his codefendnnts; that said editor
In chief was also In the year 1S72 In
favor of the election of Silas Woodson
as governor of Missouri, but that the
said editor Is at this time much disaf
fected toward his excellency tho said
governor and has duly repented (the
first time in his life) in sackcloth and
ashes for his want of judgment and
discretion in that regard; that notwith
standing all these things were well
known to the defendant and had been
by It duly considered, the said plaintiffs
at tho special Instance nud request of
said defendant did and performed cer
tain work nnd labor and furnished ma
terials for the same to said defendant,
as will more fully appear by an ac
count herewith tiled, mnrked 'Exhibit
A,' and made a part of this petition.
Plaintiffs state that tho balance claim
ed In said account, to wit, tho sum of
?50, with interest, is due them nnd un
paid, for which, with costs of suit, at
torney's fees and a railroad pass, they
ask judgment. D. P. Dyek,

Judge Hunt and Sam Maiden.
There perhaps never was any com
munlty on earth In which more ainus
tug things have happened than in Pike
eountv. Mo. Hon. Ezra Hunt, who
for innuy years was judge of the fa
mous "Pike circuit," was celebrated for
his urbanity nnd dignity no less than
for his lenmlng and Judiclnl ability
Once upon a time there was pending lu
his court an Indictment against one
Samuel Maiden for selling whisky
without a license. Maiden was quite
n character lu his way. In due time
nnd with fitting solemnity his honor
called the case of "tho state of Mis
sourl versus Samuel Maiden." There
was no response. Again and with
rather more emphasis the judge repeat
ed, "The state of Missouri versus Sam
uel Maiden!" Still no answer. By
this time the court was slightly net
tied nnd with some tartuess said: "The
state versus Sam Maldeu! Who rep
resents the defendant? What shall be
done with the case?" This brought
Maiden to his feet. He arose in the
rear of the courtroom and thus made
reply, "Jedge, if you are wlllln. we'll
jest let that case drop."
At tlrst there was a deathlike silence,
nnd then the shout of merriment thnt
ascended from bar and spectators was
like tho voice of many waters. The
sheriff hammered his desk and shout
ed "Order! Order!" until ho was red
In tho face, but there wns uo order, at
least for several minutes.
Punishing a Tough.
In the great brood of her aspiring
sous which Missouri has sent to the
far west to gather political laurels lu
now fields Judge Andrew Jefferson
Seay of Kingfisher, O. T Is one of
tho most unique and Interesting char
acters. Ills uame will be preserved In
history, however, moro by one of his
defeats than by nny of his victories,
for he bad the distinction of being
beaten for congress by "Silver Dick"
Blaud in Bland's first race.

Armed Neutrality.
M the beginning of the civil war the
neonle of Pike county were as badly
Kded as any In the state. Among
?i,e most enthusiastic and prominent
Union men was Colonel George . An
derson, an ex-Tenuesseean. miu.jw
ly state senator, congressman, coal oil
inspector for St. Louis nnd Judge of the
St. Louis court of criminal correc Ion.
He Is. as Mark Antony described him
self to be, a plain, blunt man and lias
a most direct and emphatic, not to say
yolcaulc. manner of expressing him
self. One nf the most Intense southern
sympathizers was the late Colonel Wil
liam L. Gatewood. an cx-Vlrginian,
subsequently a state senator and most
successful lawyer and financier. Ho
was a very excitable sort of man nnd
very sincere In his affections for Con
federates. Of all the futile policies over dreamed
of perhaps the "armed neutrality" fad
of Kentucky and Missouri leads the
list. How sensible men could have in
dulged in such a vain hope as that
passeth all comprehension, but many
did. some In good faith and others un
derstanding full well how ridiculous It
was.
Not to be behind their neighbors, the
Pikers held n meeting at Bowling
Green early In 1SC1 and passed ringing
resolutions lu favor of "armed neutral
ity."
Colonel Anderson was one of the
principal orators. He was the chief
orator in any assembly lu which he
appeared.
Colonel Gatewood presided. After
the meeting had ndjourned Colonel
Gatewood took Colonel Anderson out
under a tree and lu his shrill tenor
voice said. "George, what in the deuce
does this armed neutrality mean, auy
how?" Anderson replied In his deep
bass: "Jupiter! It means guns for the
Union men and none for the rebels!"
And In the light of subsequent events
who can say that Colonel Anderson's
prognostication was wrong?
Champ Claik.
BENEFITS OF HORSE SHOWS
They Stimulate the Production ofl
Hotter AnliuulN and rial no Trices.
Within recent years the development
of horse shows, east, west, north and
southj has become remarkable. Hav
ing their greatest encouragement in
tho east, they gradually spread to tho
larger western cities, and they have
now become so prevalent as to be an
nual events In tho cities of all sections.
It is generally thought that these arc
merely fashionable events Intended for
the display and recreation of those
basing little to do with the active busi
ness of life, but, says tho New Eng
land Homestead, a deeper study of the
subject will show that these exhibi
tions have a marked influence on tho
development of our horse "breeding In
terests. When the racing calendar was estab
lished some hundreds of years ago,
running horses were given nn Impetus
which In turn reacted on the thorough
bred horse to such a degree as to make
It, without exception, the leadiug breed
of horses, and thus untold good was
accomplished for the thoroughbred in
terests. Lntcr, with the establishment
of trotting races earlier In the century
nnd the publication of the year book
giving the records made, the trotting
horse wns brought to tho front, nnd us
a result It occupies at this time a moro
prominent place among the breeds of
our light hofses.
Tho horse shows seem to offer tho
same stimulus to tho harness race that
has been given to the others. The horse
show ns It Is conducted becomes an ob
ject lesson to tho people of cities who
use horses ns to the proper appoint
ments nnd the right type of horse thnt
should go with them.
Two or three successful horse shows
In n city are usually sufllclent to start
the improvement. It leads some one
who hns a preference for horses of this
kind to Invest In nn unusually attrac
tive pair, which In turn stimulates tho
emulation of other lovers of horses, and
in uio course or n year or so tho olmr.
ncter of the equipages of tho city bo
comes markedly changed for tho better.
This has been noticed In n great mnnr
cases and Invariable follows properly
conducted shows.
Whllo these results nt first eonsliW.
ntion do not seem to havo direct appll
cation to tho horse Industry of our
farmers, yet they materially stimulato
tho production of n high class
horse in eveiy section of the couu
try. These horses which have come
to the city as a result of tho hm-..
show have been secured by tho dealers,
u imu bwm some tune In trnlnlne
nnd innniieriiig them for city use. The
dealers, lu turn, have bought them
iroiu me runners, and It seems rwisnn.
nblo to suppose that, with the increas
ing demand for this type of horse, there
niusi iouow a better price.

For Cnlf Cholerii.
In referring to the subject of cnlf
cholera Professor W. L. Carlisle, pro
fessor of aniuinl husbandry of the
Wisconsin experiment station, says
that one teaspoouful of zeiioleum In n
quart of milk given to the calf through
n long necked bottle is an. effective nnd
positive cure within thirty-six hours.
Tho dose should bo repeated each four
hours. In some cases the desired re
sult has been obtained In twenty-four
hours, and lu no case has It failed.
To Itemovo Hlooil Warts.
To remove a bloodwart from a horse
tic, when possible, n'small cord tightly
around base of wart. If this treatment
is not possible, then touch the wart
about once a week with nitric acid.
Treatment For Worm In Sheep.
Pour turpentine upon salt In tho
nronortion of one pint to a galk-u.
Keep this before the sheep for a
week, says Dr. II. P. Miller In Ohio
Farmer. Tho next week substitute
gentian for the turpentine and the fol
lowing week a pound of dried sulphate
of iron mixed with a gallon of bran
and a quart of tills mixture given
daily to a hundred head for a week.
The turpentine should then bo repeat
ed. Tartar emetic and santonine are
each effective vermifuges and should
be given in daily doses of fifteen
grains for a week when one of them is
employed. Remember that one treat
ment Is uot proof against an after In
vasion. But if the llock Is once en
tirely freed from them nnd placed
upon a fresh pasture where no sheep
havo been the present season thero
will be no further trouble.
Treatment For Crnekeil Heels.
Do not wash the horse's feet In wa
ter or let them got wet oftcner than
can bo avoided while under treatment
and use the following: One ounce of
chloride of zinc nnd one ounce of tan
nic acid nud one quart of water.
Shake well and moisten the parts
twice a day and cover over with soft
woolen bandages applied loosely.
Curiosities of Superstition.
When Egypt was in the height of her
powei, when she was most highly civi
lized and delighted In being called tho
"mistress of tho land and sea," her
people worshiped a black bull. There
was some discrimination, however,
even in this form of worship. In order
to be nn object of mad adoration it was
necessary that the bull calf bo born
with a circular white spot In the exact
center of his forehead, and the advent
of Rtich a creature In any herd was the
signal of wild demonstrations from the
Mediterranean to the border of the Ly
blan desert. Even as late ns the time
of Cleopatra, "star eyed goddess, glori
ous sorceress of the Nile." such animals
were shod with gold and had their
horns tipped with the same metal.
Herodotus tells of a nmu who died with
grief because lie sold a cow that soon
after became the mother of a black
bull calf marked with the sacred white
circle in his forehead.
