Not the Governor.
Exchange.


 MT. Seward and Thurlow Weed were fast friends and political part ners. Common opinion had it that the second member of the firm was the more influential of the two, no matter how high an office the first member might fill. This popular feeling was well illustrated by a cur rent apocryphal annedote, which, as MT. Weeds biographer says, ought to have been true, whether it was so or not. Governor Seward, as he travelled about the state, was fond of accosting all sorts of people.
 Once, in passing through western county, on top of stage, he began to question the driver, asking about the crops, the facilities for transportation, the population of each hamlet, who kept the taverns, who were the lead ing politicians, and 80 forth.
 Finally it came the drivers turn, and infiamed with curiosity as to who this inquisitive passenger could be, he began:
 "You are merchant, I suppose?"
 "No, sir" said the governor, "I am not merchant"
 "A lecturer, then?"
 "No, sir, am not 8 lecturer"
 "A minister2"
 "No, sir"
 After few minutes the driver said "You must be 8 big grain buyer3"
 "No, sir, I am not"
 "Then I know what you are; you must be a lawyer, or you wouldn't ask SO many questions"
 "That is not my business at pres ent."
 "Who are you, then?" finally ex- claimed the driver, unable longer to restrain the direct inquiry.
 "I am governor of this state."
 It was asking good deal of the driver to expect him to believe that. He showed his incredulity.
 "Well," said MT. Seward, Suppose you wait until the stage gets to the next town. I know the landlord there and he can identify me-"
 "He won't say you're the governor, Pll bet dollar"
 Soon afterwards the stage drew up in front of the next tavern, and walk ing up to the landlord, who stood among crowd of loungers on the steps, MT. Seward said: "See here, MT. Tompkins, you know me, don't you?"
 "Yes, sir, do."
 "Well, then, this driver is not will ing to believe that I am governor of New York"
 "Stick to it, John," said the tavern keeper. "I don't believe it, either" "Whatl' p exclaimed MT. Seward, in astonishment. "Then who is gov ernor?"

Who Wrote " Mary Had Little Lamb2 "
"Thurlow Weed. {"

Who Wrote " Mary Had Little Lamb?"
 The authorship of the poem has been ascribed to various persons, and many romantic stories have been told regarding its composition. To Mrs. Hale's family the Philadelphia Itmes is indebted for the following account of the circumstances which led to it's production. In 1927 Dr. Lowell Ma son was induced to lend his musical talents to Boston, and while there gave especial attention to the training of children in vocal music, being the first person to introduce singing into the public schools. In order to make these singing classes attractive, Dr. Mason requested Mrs. Sarah J. Hale and other writers to furnish him with verses suited to the capacity of chill dren, and of 8 kind to interest them. In response to his request Mrs. Hale, ever ready to lend hand in any good work, composed series of little poems for children, which were set to music by MT. Mason, and sung in the schools of Boston and afterwards throughout the country. Among these was the world-famous "Mary's Lamb," which was founded on an incident of the writer's own childish experience. A farmers daughter she had had in her New Hampshire home her own little pet lamb, that followed her wherever she went. Devotedly fond of animals, and making pets of them from her earliest to her latest years, this busy editor and mother of fam fly turned aside from her pressing cares to write these verses, which have a sympathetic echo in the hearts of children all over the country. In 1880 the poems thus composed were pub lished in book form under Mrs. Haie's signature, with number of other songs and rhymes affectionately dedi- cated to all good children in the United States.

Yellowstone National Park, Pacific
 Coast and Alaska.

xeIloWStone Natlonal Park, Pacinc
 Coast and Alaska.
 The Yellowstone Park is unques- tionably attracting more attention at the present time as tourist resort than any other place on the face of the earth. This spot is reached by rail only by the Northern Pacific rail- road, the famous dining-car line to the Pacific coast, the only one of the trans continental lines running dining -cars of any description whatever. A book ticket will be sold at the eastern ter minals of the Northern Pacific for $110.00, including rail and stage trans portation, meals on dining cars, Pull man, and five days accommodations south of Livingston in the park.
 The Alaska tour is also one that is attracting wide attention. The rates and facilities offered for making this trip are better via the Northern Pa- cific railroad than by any other line. The attractions offered CD route cia the Northern Pacific, such as the ride through the Lake Park region of Min nesota, by the great wheat fields of Dakota, along the Yellowstone river and Clark's fork of the Columbia, through the famous Spokane Falls re- zion, over the Cascade range, by the Palisades of the Columbia, Puget Sound, etc., together with the supe- rior accommodations offered, make a trip via this route especially enjoya- ble. By writing Chas. s. Fee, gen. eral passenger agent, N. P. R. R., St. Paul, Minn., you will receive copy of "Wonderland" and other books de- scriptive of the Yellowstone Park, Alaska and the country in general traversed by the "dining-car and Yell lowstone Park route."

A Free-Thinker's Last Words.
New York Graphic,


 No candid man, whatever his relig- ious belief, can read the account of Courtlandt Palmer's death without profound admiration for his lofty courage and consistency. He felt that he could not survive the operation which resulted in his death. With calmness and precision he arranged the details of his funeral services and settled his business affairs. Then, be- fore the surgeons came, he discoursed upon those philosophical and agnostic views which had long been his moral guide. His last words were these: The general impression is that free thinkers are afraid of death. want you one and all to 1 tell the whole world that you have seen a free-thinker die without the least fear of W hat the hereafter may be.
 Here was death worthy of Socra- | tes.
 Through some singular coincidence most of the stories that have been given to the world protesting to relate the death-bed scenes of noted free- thinkers have told of their abject fear and their recantation of unorthodox views just before dissolution. Vol taire, shuddering with terror and crying for priest, and Paine praying for mercy to 8 God whose existence he had questioned, are the most fa- miliar pictures used by the clergy to conjure with. Without questioning the veracity of these ecclesiastical legends, it is highly interesting to observe the peace and quietude possi- ble to soul, conscious of no wrong intent and no base decd, although de- prived of the cancellations of religion. Courtlandt Palmer's death was cer- tainly a magnificent vindication of his self-respect.
 Such an exhibition ought to make more tolerant men of all creeds. It shows that the human mind can over- come that instinctive fear of death common to all mortality and die con- tent without the aid of pious prom ises or immortal expectations. This man died as became man because he had lived as became one. Before the mystery of death his trust in himself did not falter. He had done his best, and he left the rest to what might be forthcoming. Happiest of men are those whose religious convictions are unshakable and whose lives are or- dered according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. To such the grave has no mystery. But even to those less happy, who see after this life only into the twilight of an unknown country, death need have no sting. So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each shall
 take
 His chamber Tn the silent halls of death Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and
 soothed
 By an unfalterlng trust, approach thy grave Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Arkansas County Notes.

The fruit and grain crops of thls county this season cannot be excelled either in yield or quality. There are now on exhibition at the office of the Grand Prairie Real Estate Exchange at Stuttgart, peaches eleven inches in circumference; apples measuring twelve inches around; cucumbers weighing sixteen pounds; peaches, grapes, plums and vegetables of pro. digious size all raised in this county, show what this rich soil, properly cultivated, will produce. Oats, wheat, rye and millet measuring more than six feet in height are not extraordin- ary growths for the prairie soil in this county. Arkansas county lands are being rapidly taken up by & thrifty class of practical farmers and fruit growers who have come here mostly from the northern states, and who without exception are we'll pleased in their new southern homes.
 Stuttgart, the county seat of Arkan- sas county, ships 500 tons of hay per week, while there are in active opera tion ill the county twenty five baling machines. Stuttgart has doubled in population during the past year and the prospects are certain for like in- crease during the next year. The town is in much need of a fruit can ming establishment and the resources of the neighborhood and the excellent facilities for transportation make it certain that large number of manu- facturing enterprises would thrive in here.

 It is gratifying to note the increased interest in the cause of public educa- tion in Arkansas. From the cities and larger towns the work is spread ing to the rural districts, and it will be only short time till good pub- lie school, taught for eight or nine months in the year, will be found in every neighborhood. It is well, for these schools are the hope of the state. Arkdnsds Democrat.
 Arkansas has never, since it's first settlement, had failure of crops such as often happens in the northwestern states, though some seasons our crops are more abundant than others, as during the present year. But there has never been failure that necessi- tated outside aid. This season we are assured of large crops, for many are now harvested and others nearly ma- tured, while later ones like cotton, promise unusual results.

 The prosperity of our cities and vil- lages is sufficient evidence of the pros- perity of our agricultural population. All wealth comes from the earth in some form, and as the earth is made to yield up her treasures, so cities and towns grow.
 There is no good reason why Little Rock should not become noted for the manufacture of furniture, farm imple- ments, farm wagons, sash, doors, coop craze, and everything made out of wood. The material is here in abund- ance.the city is eligibly situated for distributing her products in all parts of the world, and capital, skilled labor and business enterprise are all that are needed to make Little Rock as famous for her wood works, as Pitts burg is for her iron.
