with the federal election, overtures were
made to the republican state committee Tor
compromise by which the prosecution
would be dropped. Tho committee agreed
to this, but refused to withdraw the reward
offered for the arrest Of the masked men
who stole the ballot box. The representa-

to be satisfactory and before starting home
told friend in Little Rock that he believed
an agreement would save Clayton's life.
The Morrillton parties. however. refused t
accept this agreement because the reward
was not withdrawn. Beyond this nothing
is known of the conclusions reached by
them but it is certain that on that night

men carried instructions. but some think

A FRENCH savant, in a curious inves-
tigation, has discovered that red has
been the most prominent color in
literature from the time of Lucian to
the present day. Writers show a
marked tendency to discover red things,
for the reason that "blue in nature is
not very conspicuous, and yellow,
though more common in flowers has a
tendency to lose its individuality in
Wilderness; but red is so conspicuous
because of its contrast to green, which
is the preponderating color in nature. :"

A BRIDGEPORT Comm man has in
vented boy, not the ordinary human
boy, but one that walks and pushes a
cart before him-a mechanical boy.
This boy when in motion makes as
much noise as a railroad train, because
of the internal workings OF his forces.
His head is out of proportion to the
rest of his body. and has a horribley
grotesque appearance with its tin eye
lids. The head is calculated to fright
en- the average woman and the noise
to scare the sensitive horses. Conse-
quently the trial trips of this mechani-
cal pedestrian have been made at night.

who has made a happy home for his
wife and children. No matter what he
has done in the way of achieving
wealth or honor, if he has done that he
is grand success. If he has not done
that, and it is his own fault. though he
is the highest in the land, he is most
pitiable failure"

LONG distance telephone service has
been greatly improved and extended.
Words spoken in Philadelphia can now
be heard through this medium in Port
land, Maine, distance of $50 miles.
So well established is the utility of this
form of the telephone-which in it's
first applications was looked upon
rather as a brilliant and interesting ex-
pertinent than as a practical business
enterprise-that the long distance sys-
tenn now includes New York, Brook
Ign, Philadelphia, Albany, Buffalo,
New Haven, Hartford, Providence,
Boston, and Portland, with various in
termediate cities, and will ultimately
take in, it is believed, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Pittsburg, Baltimore,
and Washington. There are said to be
about one hundred manufacturing es-
Establishments in the vicinity of New
York which are constantly using the
long distance system, either by leasing
lines or by contracting for a given
number of hours service per day.

A SWEET little romance comes from
Georgia. A bachelor farmer and
School Commissioner in Ebert
County had occasion two years ago to
investigate the fitness of several appli-
cants for school teaching. Among
them was young lady of Atlanta. She
was not selected, but her gratitude to
her unknown friend for his kindness
led her to write him letter of thanks.
A correspondence was thereby opened,
and the letters soon became frequent.
The Commissioner decided to visit At
lanta and call on the lady who so long
held his thoughts. The Commission
er's correspondent proved to be far
more beautiful than he had painted
her, while the lady was surprised to
find in her unknown friend, instead of
middle-aged man, gentleman who
would easily pass for 25. The date for
the marriage has been set.
