The Franks of Western Eleotioneering.


When Colonel Singleton was cand.
date for Congress from one of the hill
districts of Arkansas, he had q rich OK
perience. He soon became the butt of
his opponents jokes, and rs there were
ten aspirants for the position his life
was IN exaggerated burden. Once when
the candidates on horseback were going
to meet an appointment of oratorical
contest, Singleton fell behind, determin-
ing 10 no longer submit to their raillery.
The party passed out of sight, leaving
the disconsoIate candidate to his own
reflections. A light rain had fallen, and
when the party crossed 4 broad, shallow
creek, one young fellow conceived the
idea of joke. Suppose" said he,
''that we take of our coats and wait I'M
It'll Singleton comes in sight, when we
will put them on, giving to him the i'm
preston that the creek is deep. Wen
not say anything to him, and he will
think that we want him to lunge into

The idea was acted on. Pretty soon

saw the men hurriedly putting on their
coats. II understand you. Want me
to get wet, eh?"
He diSmounted, and although the day
was fearfuh cold, he took off his clothes,
mounted and carefully guiding the horse
he entered the stream. The water was
not more that six inches deep, and when
he perceived the cruel joke he stood up
in the stirrups and began to swear,
when his clothes fell into the water and
began to float away, In attempting to
reach over and regain them he fell, aud
his horse staggering, stepped on him,
His rage was terrific, and when he ar
rayed himself in his garments he bor-
rowed gun at neigbboring house
and chased his opponents fifteen miles,
totally forgetting bis appointment to
speak. Little Rock Gazette.

Bows and Girls

Why do more boys die than girlsT-.
For every hundred girls born into the
world there are one hundred and four
boys, and it used to be imagined that
the extra four boys were supplied in or
der TO meet the extra wear and tear OF
life which must be borne By the bread
winners OF the world. But the odd
thing to which Dr.. Biddle calls atten-
ton in medical contemporary is that
the extra four per cent Of boys is wiped
out by death before they attain the age
OF years. Why is thisP Dr. Biddle
makes two suggestions-frst, that the
greater waste" of boys may be due to
their higher organism; and, secondly,
that it may be ''due TO the fact that our
little boys are given over to the tender
mercies of mothers and maids instead OF
being reared by those who understand
them Those who understand them"
would seem to refer to persons OF their
own sex, 80 that DR.. Biddle would seem
to look with favor upon the appoint
ment of male nurses for male infants. -
The non-medcal observer would be in
cined to accept heavy odds that, if DR..
Biddle's suggestion were acted upon,
the waste" OF the higher organism, in
tead of being re duced. would increase
at very alarming ratio indeed. Lon

10 visit the Reform School accompanied

Considering the importance Of this in

ness rather than 'junketing expedition.
A dsy or two. could be well spent in the
vicinity Of this school by the Legislative

suggestions should emanate from the Com
nittee and be embodied in a law, before the
Legislature adjourns.
