The ambition of tho Ar
cade Is to lead and not to
follow, but circumstances
often occur that prevents
the carrying out the best
laid plans.
Some time ago the Ar
cade ordered a large line of
Tailor Made Night Shirts,
(for men only specially
adapted for holiday trade,
but the unfortunate circum-
stance occurred and these
beautiful Night Robes ar
rived Christmas eve, too
late for Christmas trade.
The beauty of this lot of
Night Shirts is that they
are all cut the new shapes
and latest style. V fronts,
V backs, pulled shoulders
and Vatican plaits, and are
guaIanteed to bring sweet
dreams and pleasant repose
to the wearer.

You See, it Depends,

From the Kansas City Journal
That is strange strike that has been
inaugurated in New Hampshire. The
granite cutters and tool sharpeners have
demanded longer days. Il is no uncom-
mon thing for workmen to demand fewer
hours for days pay, but this demand
for more hours can be explained only on
the ground that the boot Is on the other
foot in this case, in that work Is paid
for by the hour, and any reduction in
the hours decreases the earning power
Of the men. Il IS quite different when
wages are affected by a shortening OF
the days labor.

Fort Scott Monitor; Senator Colquitt
denies in the Atlanta paper the report
that he is to resign his seat in the United
States senate The senator recently
gave his friends at his Edgewood man
sion banquet of the old ante-bellum
sort, at which the tables groaned with
good things just as they used to groan in
the days of plantation hospitality. One
of the guests says that nobody could have
served just such supper as was served
that night who was not accustomed to
entertain after the fashion of the glorious
Democratic civilization of the old days. "
Such maudlin snobbery as the last ex-
preston is wearisome to disgust. The
truth is, the people Of this country, and
especially of the south, are better hvers
today than in the ante-bellum period,
and are just as hospitable, as for that.

Vic Murdoch, IN "Oklahoma Outlines
makes the statement that only one coun-
ty, in Oklahoma territory, had the tax
rolls ready IN the hands of the treasurer
on the 1st of November as the law di-
reefs they shall be. This IS a mistake.
The tax rolls of this county were com
pleted and placed in the hands of the
treasurer before the first day of Novem-
Der, and what is better still the taxes are
fast being paid and but little, If any,
will remain unpaid by February 1st,
1892, when they become delinquent.
