To Give the Sack.

Two noblemen in the reign Of
Maximilian II. (l564-1576) one a
German, the other Spanard, who
had each rendered a great service to
the emperor, asked the hand of his
daughter, Helena, in marriage.
Maximiian said that as he esteemed
both alike, 1t was impossible to
choose between them, and therefore
their own prowess must decide it;
but being unwilling to risk the loss
of either by engaging them in dead
ly combat, he ordered a large sack
to be bought, and declared that he
who should put his rival into it
should have his fair Helena.
And this whimsical combat was
actually performed in the presence
of the imperial court, and lasted an
hour. The unhappy Spaniard was
first overcome, and the German sue
ceeded in enveloping him in the
sack, TOOK him upon his back and
laid hIm at the feet of the emperor.
This comical combat is said to be
the origin of the phrase, "giye HIM
the sack" so common IN the litera>
ture of courting.-Ex.

Those Pictures, Girls.

Learn to say no when asked for
your photograph by some one not
especially dear to you. There is In
that will protect you from evil
talk. Learn to think that your face
is too sacred to decorate the apart
ment of Tom, Dick or Harry, no
matter if each one of the three is
one of the pleasantest fellows in the
world. When the sun imprinted in
black and white just how sweet and
dainty you look, it did not mean
that the picture should have incense
IN the shape of tobacco smoke, or
dubious praise in the form of a dis
cussion of your points rendered to It.
Give away your picture with dis
cretion. Remember that some day
will come along Prince Charming,
who will have a right, the right own
ed by tie master of the heart, to ask
for the counterfeit presentment Of
yourself after he knows that he Is
going to have the real girl for his
own. Think how mortified Aou
would be if he should discover that
the giving away of your photograph
has been almost as general as the in
vitations to your New Years party.
Think how he will feel if he sees your
face looking over the mantle shelf
IN Dicks rOom-Dick whom he
knows to be braggart, and a man
for whom he has the utmost cons
tempt! Then just learn to say no.
Don't display your photograph to
your men friends, and you will not
have this unpleasant task; but if you
should do 1t, and have not the cour-
age to say the little sy liable, be wise
and refer them to papa.-Ladies'

DEMOCRATS, ORGANIZE.
CLAYTON and his Allies at Work
in the Trenches.
SOUND THE TOCSIN ALL ALONG
THE LINE DEMOCRATS,
CATCH THE "INSPORATION."

Powell Clayton and his brigade oi
carpet, t,baggers are organized and
have a state organ, the Register
through which they are heaplng
abuses upon the democracy of Ark
ansas and seeking to regain contro
of the state government and set u
bust ness on the old plan of 1868.
l see through the state papers that
democrats are organizing IN different
parts of the state, preparing for TIE
coming campaign, and it is to be
hoped that Sharp county will rot be
behind in the work. As early as
| November, 1887, your Strawberry
correspondent called upon the dem
ccracy of Sharp county to prepare
for the campaign of '88, stating that
the enemy was not asleep, and that
it was time we were up and dong.
Others caught the "insporation," and
other communications followed, ad-
vocating the same, and the RECORD,
to which great credit is due, lent
great assistance in the noble work,
and the result was a thorough organ
ization and a glorious victory for
the peoples ticket followed. Many
a good democrat who had unthought
edly straYed off was reclaimed and
brought back to the fold.
Now, in this good year of 1890,
let US not be behind. The enemy is
not asleep yet, and it is only through
organization that we can hope for
success.
Why not the presidents of the
various democratic clubs of the
county call them together and re-
organize ? In 1888 we had the
jackson Club" of Sullivan, the
"Cleveland," of Big Greek, the
"Red Bandanna" of Piney Fork,
the "Garland" of Strawberry, and
others, all of which did noble work.
Democrats In other parts of the
state are at work, and why should
we longer delay? Who will be the
first to call his club together or cali
a democratic mass>meeting in bis
township? Strawberry held the
first massmeeting two years ago
and Big Greek organized the first
club. Mark the result Eagle lost
only nine votes in Strawberry, and
