tCepjrinht, 1901, by Chimp CUrk.
Ono of the most distinguished of all
the Mlssourlnns was Colonel James O.
Broadhead, who was a member of con
gress, a colonel In the Union army and
minister to Switzerland. lie was ac
counted oue of the Yerjr. greatest of
American lawyers.
Just after coming out of Albemarle
county, Va., and while ho was on his
first legs lu 1'lke, becomlug acclimated
to western manners, so to spenlc, oue
of his bosom cronies wis n rolllcksomo
young "buck," as Mr. Thackeray would
say, uamcd Kufc Sanders, who, If op
portunity had afforded, would not have
hesitated to play a practical Joko on
tho president of the republic, the grand
Turk, the czar of nil the Husslas or
any other high and mighty function
ary. AH was tlsh that came to his net.
Ho and Broadhead In their affection
tor each other much resembled Damon
and Pythias. Nevertheless Bufus
played It on tho colonel, on ono occa
sion at least, In a most artistic man
ner. Ho boasted of his Inllucuco over
Broadhead and eald he could Induce
him to do anything he chose. He knew
tho colonel's vanity as to his high
Jumping powers, and he made up his
mind to have some fun, and he bad It.
In the outskirts of the village was a
poud of water of considerable length
and about 25 feet wide. Bufe was
bragging to some Jolly blades ouo even
ing that such were his powers over
Broadhead that he could make him
Jump Into the pond. Of course they
hooted at such an Idea. While they
wero chaffing Rufe, Broadhead hovo In
sight, rigged out In bis best bib and
tucker, on his way to see ono of Uufe's
beautiful female cousins.
Thought He Could Make It
As soon as he came within earshot
Bufe sang out, "Broadhead, can you
Jump across that poudV
The future constitutional expounder
scanned It critically with those lus
trous orbs which have since overawed
Juries, courts, senates, and said, "I
don't believe I can quite make it"
Rufe Jeeringly remarked: "You have
always sworn that you could beat the
world Jumping, and now you flunk. I
have Just Jumped It clean and clear,
naven't I, boys?" appealing to his own
companions.
Of course the "hoys" laid their bands
solemnly on their hearts and assev
erated by the great horn spoon that
RufUB had actually made the unprece
dented leap.
This was too much for Broadhead.
His .proud Virginia blood was up.
Shedding his broadcloth swallowtail,
he said: "Rufe, nothing wearing the
human form divine can beat me Jump
ing. I learned that caper beneath tho
shadows of the Blue Ridge mountains
and In sight of Jiontlcello. You have
Insulted my state pride. I'll give you a
lesson you will never forget"
With this he backed off about 100
yards on tbe prairie to get a good start,
came on like a cyclone In mad career,
leaped Into the air and, falling several
feet short of tho mark, came down ker
wallop In the pond. He scrambled out
a sadder, madder, wiser and wetter
man.

All he could hear was, tho melancholy
swish of the waves settling themselves
after his accidental Immersion and the
mocking lnugbter of Rufe nnd his pnr-
tlceps crlmlnls receding to the glonm
lug and fleeing from tho wrntb to
come.
Helped by His Name.
While admitting bis colossal ability
gladly, I am sure that Colonel Broad
head's sonorous name helped lilm con
siderably as an original proposition.
Broadhead Is a statelv cocnomen. well
calculated to fill the trump of fame.
It's a fine Introduction among strnn-
' fnra nnrl tiHnfK, lit Intnifna nt 3Mn
t,v.u .. .. v. " r " r v " w uutu-
monlc wisdom. The beauty of It Is
that the man lived up to tbe name.
Lately some fellow's Ingenuity has
demonstrated that tho war of 1812
was produced by a pig getting its head
fast In a fence In Connecticut or Itliodo
Island. It happened in this wise: In
some particular precinct n Federalist
voter put off leaving homo for the polls
till tho last minute possible for his
rcnchlng the voting plnce In time. Hp
was hurrying as fnst as his legs could
carry him to exercise' the highest pre
rogative of an American sovereign,
whenho henrd one of his pigs squeal
lug as In great distress.
How a Pig Made History.
Now, It Is a conceded fact nmong us
farmers that there is no more ear
piercing or pleasure banishing sound
in this noisy world than that made
by n pig squealing becnuse bis ad
venturous head has been caught In
tho crack of n fence, unless it bo n
Thomns cat developing his musical ap
paratus at midnight's holy hour. So
the Federalist, burning with wrath
against Thomas Jefferson and nil the
Democrat, stopped to rescue his pig.
This delayed him so that be lost his
vote. The Democratic candidate for tho
legislature was elected by ono majori
ty. The legislature elected a Demo
cratic United States senator by one
majority. The United States senate
declared war by one majority, all tho
Democrats voting for It That peeky
pig made several pages of glorious
history.
Colonel Broadhead's Fat Mule Case.
When Colonel Broadhead was climb
ing laboriously up that tall hill where
fame's proud temple shines afar, two
Pike county farmers and next door
neighbors, both well to do, had a fall
ing out about a scrub mule. Wo will
call them Joues and Brown. Each ono
believed that he held an Indefeasible
right to that long cared animal. . Joues
employed Broadhead, who promptly
instituted suit When the pnpers wero
served on Brown, he did not notice
that Broadhead was Jones' attorney,
so as Broadhead was a favorite with
him he straightway applied to tho
colonel also. Of course Broadhead,
with profound thnuks for his compli
mentary friendship, informed him that
he had been retained by the other side.
"Well," said Brown, "I'm awfully sor
ry. Perhaps you can recommend an
other lawyer for me?" "Yes; I can do
that Do you know John B. Hender
son?' "No." "Well, he Is the second
best lawyer In the county, and I will
write you a letter of Introduction to
him," which he did, and, carefully seal
ing It up and Impressing bis coat of
arms upon tho wax, handed It to
Brown with one of those lordly and
diplomatic bows for which ho la fa
mous. Could Not Stand the Suspense.
Brown left Broadhead's offlco and
went home In a frame of mind to
ward that letter much resembling
Eve's touching tho forbidden fruit Ho
was aching to know its contents. The
more he thought of It the more ho
wanted to read It At last be could
stand tbe suspense no longer, nnd ho
"steamed" the envelope over the sim
mering teakettle and drew out the
precious document, and with bulging
eyes and fluttering heart here Is what
he read:
Dear John Jonet Terms Brown. I reprueLt
the plaintiff, and thi will Introduce tbe defend
ant. Mult cate. Beth fat. Your,
Daoinnsis.
It was all Greek to Brown. His last
condition was worse than tho first,
no read It right side up, bottom side
up, catacornered, diagonally and every
other way. To save his life ho couldn't
understand It or get heads or tails of
tho mysterious and enigmatical epistle.
As he tossed In sleepless nnxiety on his
virtuous couch snatches of that laconic
and incomprehensible message chased
each other through his feverish brain
with lightning rapidity, and In weird
and Jumbled grotesqueness something
In liiis wise: "Mule case both fat;
both fat mule case; mule fat both
case; fat caso both mule; case mule
fat both," etc., like Mark Twain's
"punch, brother; punch with care;
punch In tbe presence of the passen
gain?." Settled the Matter.
Finally and desperately Brown thus
communed with his own spirit: "Now,
what on earth can Broadhead mean?
It beats the deuce. He says both are fat
There's only one mule, nnd he ain't so
dang fat cither." Ho kept on going
over that lucid formula of reasoning
until be actually got It through his
noggin as to what objects the word
"both" referred to In the letter; thep
ho shook his sides with laughter, Inter
rupted by such objurgations- as:
"Broadhead I Henderson! Both fatl
Mulct Hades!"
Next morning, bright and early, he
hied hint over to Neighbor Jones, call
ed him out, shook bands cordially,
showed him tho letter, told his expe
rience nnd thus delivered an opinion,
full of wisdom as any of Jack Buns
by's: "Jones, you havo ono good farm;
I have another. This measly mule
Isn't worth over $20. If wo go to law
nbnut It, In 12 months Jim Broadhead
will bo living on yonr farm, John Hen
derson on mine, nnd we'll be out In tho
cold. We'd be a pair of prize donkeys
to do that Let's nettle tho blamed
case here and now between ourselves."
And settle they did by hnlvlng tbo
mule. That letter was too good a
Joke to keep. It got out somehow or
somehow else and was nuts for the
lovers of fun everywhere.
Andrew Jackson.
We nro given to too much self con
gratulation on our second war with
Great Britain. But wo would not havo
como out of tho bloody struggle with
much eclat If one Andrew Jackson had
not wnlloped tho bloody Britisher In
a most consummate and astounding
mnnncr at New Orleans on St Jack
sou's day In the morning. And It Is
n curious fact that that glorious event
would never havo happened except
that, after a tremendous tussle, Old
Hickory was elected major general of
tho Teunesseo mllltla by oue majority.
Consequently, had not his plgshlp
got his head Into too smnll n crack
In that old Virginia worm fence In
New England, there would have been
uo war for sailors' rights.
Two Votes Not to Be 8neezed At.
Colonel Broadhead's political career
came near being nipped In tho bud nnd
dying "n-bornln." Ho wns elected from
Pike to the legislature by two majori
ty. With this small margin as n stnrt-
rr he climbed high nnd with reasona
ble rapidity. He afterward became a
member of the state senate, of n 'con
stitutional convention and of congress,
the nominee of his party for the United
States senate, president of the Ameri
can Bar association nnd wns voted for
by bis Btntc delegation In n national
convention for tho presidency Itself,
which is the ultima Thulc of human
ambition. On Bosworth field Hunch
back Richard In agony of soul exclaim
ed: " A horse! My kingdom for a
horsel" And In the feverish dance of
death called polities many an aspiring
and perspiring candidate would give a
year of peaceful life for thnt deciding
vote which often comcth not. Colonel
Broadhead could have honestly sworn
that In a close contest two -votes aro
not to bo sneezed at

Self Itetlmice In Children.
Tired mothers, with the caro of a
large household on their shoulders, of
ten allow themselves to become slaves
to the whims of their children, with
never a moment's rest from early dawn
until late at night, after the babies
want to go to bed. AH day long it is
a coustnnt cry, "Mamma, I want this,"
"Mamma, glvo mo that," nnd instead
of casting the child upon Its own re
sources tho weary mother leaves her
work, her rest or her guests to perform
some absolutely needless service for
the child. It is wearing on the moth
er, but that Is not Its worst feature; it
Is positive ruin to the disposition of the
child. Tho children of such a mother
grow up selfish, unsatisfied, restless.
They come to look upon their mother
as a mero convenience, a machine for
contributing to their personal comfort,
and thus the mother Is robbed of tho
child's love nnd respect, and the child
Is robbed of thnt most blessed of hu
man virtues, true love nnd veneration
for its mother.
