D. C. Morgan County Clerk. The Universitv of Missouri has installed a course in poetry writing That may be all right down in Mis souri where there is a chance to escape to the Bwamps. but it would not work in Nebraska. But every state has its freaks, and we do not know as a course in poetry in Missouri is any worse than a course in Bryanism in Ne raska. " W. C. T. U. "The wife of the florist, do you know her" The wife of the florist, does anybody know her" It is too bad even after the repetition of the phrase, no one was brave enough to own an acquaintance. The "Denying Peters'" are still alive in Piattsmouth it seems. Some more buttons should be sold to pay a lecturer, who will overlook the gravest evils of a town (the saloons and gambling, and criti cise a few women who are injuring none and helping some to have a few luxuries they would not other wise have. Rev. Austin struck the keyhole of the situation when he advocated the "boosting" of the saloons out of town, and every Christ ain should glory in his manly frank ness in putting the harm just where it bclongiM. When the drain of the saloon is removed such a puerile "booster" will not need to come to Piattsmouth to cry over the few dollars spent by women for their own betterment when hundreds of dollars are squandered by men who arc upholding a business whose exis tence is a national disgrace and which is run by men you will not meet socially, and who are debarred from 65 Fraternal Orders. "Beautify your town." Yes, and the first step is the ablishing of saloons, then it will grow beautiful like magic. York docs not have to bo "boosted". The town gets what goes to the saloon in this place, and fair dealing holds the trade and the homes of the wage earners are sightly and comfortable. In closing will say that if anyone really wants to know the "florists wife", the addresses of more than a hundred can be given who know her through her flowers and help in sickness, and if the small minded "tipper" will conic forward a few inside inklings will be given that may open the eyes to both sides of the question, and last I will suggest to the critics to turn to Mat hew, 7, and and ponder on its meaning, for it might include right feeling towards eve n "The Florist's Wife" Postponed. The first appearance of the Grew Stock Company at the Parmele has been postponed to February 9th instead of February 4th as has been advertised. They will play the- ''In vader" at the opening.

According ly, os a test, the word Jehoshaphat was submitted to the two claimants for rhyming. The man who best rhymed that difficult if not impossible word would be Judged the true author of the cassowary effort. "Well, the Punch punster failed fell down completely but the bishop of Oxford easily proved his rightful own ership of the casKownry production by dashing off on the spur of the mo ment this magnificent effort: "The valiant Kins fietin&rhcrlb Of any man could crack a rib, But could not of Jeho?;iiliat, And that because he was so fat."
