"Come in, Frank; I'm in another box"
exclaimed Will Blakely to his friend. Frank
Graham, his voice expressing his annoy
ence and his handsome face the picture OF
real or imaginary disgust. "Confound the
typewriters, and yet one cannot get along
without them"
"You are TOO gracious to your typewrit-
ers. You should never pay them any little
attentions, but wisely look upon them as
part Of the machine. That Is your only
hope of escaping the terrible fate OF being

my advice, think you and Miss Leslie

"The very thingl will follow any ad-
vice, Frank. except to marry, although l
had not realized that was more than po-
lite and gentlemanly," Will replied eagerly.
"Send Miss Leslie to the Office. and will be
very reserved and dignihed."
"All right, viii; you may look for her In
the morning." was Franks reply. and they
changed the subject.

black, complexion clear. lips red and per

A BILL TO protect poor. down-trod-

Minnesota legislature. 1t is Il bill de
signed to prevent the manufacture
sale or use of any hoop skirts in the
confines of Minnesota. A fine of S25

The author of the bill, Geo. M. Bleek
II is earnest in advocacy of the meas
ure and says: The bill was intro
duced i'm al seriousness. II the hoop
skirt comes into use the male popula-
ton of st. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth will be forced to desert the side
walks and take to the middle of the
road" Mr.. Bleecker, words are ap-
plcable to every urban community IN
tie Unised States. If the hoop-skirt
comes into general use in Forrest City
every male inhabitant will be forced
off the sidewalk and like the average
populist have to keep in the middle OF
the road" Will not some Arkansas

MED NOT BE CONFOUNDED.

THE true theory is that the office
should seek the man." says the Nash
vile Banner. But was there ever a
time when the man did not seek the
office? The common sense theory is
that the best possible man should be
chosen from among the avowed can
didates 1t is the only way in which
offices ever were or ever will be filed.
From the office of president down to
the office of constable, places are filled
from among those who seek them.
Calhoun. Clay, Webster, Jackson. Polk,
all the great statesmen of our country,
sought office, and many of them had
deep and bitter disappointments. The
idea that there ever WAS "A time when
officers swore ont such warrants for
fugitive men is one of the many simple
delusions with respect to the good
old times Men seek private en-
ployment, and nearly all the positions
in counting rooms, banks and every
department of trade and industry are
filed from long list of applicants.
There is no reason why men who really
desire to do patriotic service in public
places should not seek such service
with the most honorable and praise
worthy intention. The mere Office
seeker and spokesman. who seeks Office
for purely selfish purposes, need not
be COMPOUNDED with the men who seek
office with q proper appreciation of its
hOnors and emoluments, but also with
n just appreciation Of its duties and re-
es.-MemphiS Commercial.

THE COUNTRY PRESS AND ITS POWER


The most remarkable phase or the
late campaign has been the Antagonist
of the country press and the politl-
cian,. The ablest politicians OF the
state and nearly all the city dailies
iiercely opposed the nomination OF Col
Fishback for governor, while the coun
try press, with few exceptions, sup
ported and strongly advocated his can
didacy, and he swept the field IN the
nominating convention and S'trl'
umphantly elected Some may say
that the politicians lost newspaper
support through purely absurd com
placency. NJ doubt the newspapers
have committed many errors. and, per
haps. have criticised unjustly, that II
the heat of excitement have wrong
fully abused men of all shades oil
political opinions, but the politicians
on the average have been wrong They
have BEEN wrong. in "a selfish sense, III
not recognizing the services of The
press; they have been wrong, IN
moral sense, because they have done
foolish and mean things, a multitude
of which might have never come tc
public attention had it not been foi
their arrogance and sellishness, If not
to say shameful disregard of the coun-
try press. In this fight the press were
united 1t IS nearer the people than
the politicians, and as years go by
grows nearer to the hearts of the peo-
pie. In it's effort to purify politics and
politicians it grows purer itself, and
thus day by day more surely establishes
itself IN the hearts Of the people and
fixes itself permanently upon the
throne Of right and justice.-Ex.

THE annexation of the Hawaiian

stronghold in the Pacific ocean and
provide valuable coaling station be

oppose annexation say that the move
was sprung by Claus Spreckles, the
great sugar king, who has vast sugar
interests in the Islands. The anneXa-
ton would put into the Duetiman' s
pocket about S4.000.000 or $1,000, 00t

cents bounty per pound on sugar
