ONE YEAR OF GROVER.
Tn Disastrous Results OF Twelve Month
of Democratic Rule.


of DemocIa attic Rule.
a year ago President Cleveland stood
before a great concourse of his fellow
co1rtrymen and declared his beliefs,
purposes and expectations. He pre-
dicted progress and prosperity. He
promised absolute fidelity to high prin-
ciples. In general, the country was to
be letter governed, happier and more
contented. Taxes would be reduced
and burdens lightened. Labor would
have a larger share of it's products
The interests of the many would be
protected against the encroachments of
the rich and powerful few. Justice
and purity in public affairs and success
in private undertakings were to be the
first fruits of democracy enthroned in
Washington.

pride and their anticipations were un-
bounded. The address OF the new
president was flashed all over the land,
and everywhere his partisans, the men
whose votes had put him in power. ex-
ulted as they spelled out his words OF
cheer. Thousands of them already en-
joyed, in imagination, all of the good
things Of life. More especially, al
though the month was March, and
February SHOWS still fingered, they
could fairly scent rich meadows of that
clover, the thought of which gave zest
to their favorite campaign of the pre-
ceding summer, the rhyme which ran

From Des Arc.

Mrs. f. W. Graves left here Sunday
night for a trip to her old home near
Buffalo, York State She will no
doubt enjoy the visit, as her father and
mother both are living, and it will
bring back her childhood days to walk
around on the old homestead and see
the same little brook, the same hills
and dales, that she used to gallop over
when a child. Little did she think
then what time would bring forth. Ali
this is pleasant; but when she takes
the hand of her dear old parents to
bid them goodbye, perhaps forever, it
will be sad; but there is always bitter
with the sweet. She will be gone
three weeks. May she have safe and
pleasant journey.

Death Of n Knowing Dog.

From the st. Louis Democrat.
There recently died at Lowestoft, Eng
land, a dog who was well known to the
travelling public, and was the pride Of the
employees of the Great Eastern railway. he
was a black and tan collie. and belonged to
the station master at Lowestoft Although
self-appointed, time and habit brought
about his recognition as assistant train
starter at the station. Through residence
at the depot he had acquired an instinct
which told him the exact time at which
each train should start from the terminus
on his journey. As the moment drew near
the dog became restless and excited As tho
Dell uttered Its nrst warning sound he
would scamper down the platform and.
planting himself close to the engine, would
bark furiously until he saw the wheels be-
gin TO turn. Having, ne supposed, &C.
complished the startins OF the train he
would rush back and hurry the conductor
and brakeman on board by barking at their
heels. As the train passed out OF the sta-
ton he retired and was seen no more until
the time drew near for another train 20
start. when the same performance Was

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.
Shrewd Hints Well Put and Worth
Remembering.

From Printers Ink.
The longest head, the longest experience
and the longest staying power knocks the
advertising persimmon.
When a merchant begins to purchase ad-
yertising space he soon finds himself In
need Of additional space in his store.
If the art of advertising is only in its in
fancy it must be a rather precocious infant,
in view OF what 1t has accomplished.
A clothier who does not advertise usually
carries a large stock of pants which will
not bag at the knees for quite long time
The advertiser who curtails his adver-
Using expenditure too much in dull times
is likely to find the dullness has come to
stay.
1t Is surprising that crockery Is not ad-
potter thinks he manufactures better goods
than any one else he should let the public
know about IL.
If the suffrage is ever granted to the
weaker sex, a big bargain sale announce
ment In the papers on election day win be
a blessed boon to any candidate who
doesn't happen to be popular with the fe-
male voters.
As four-ifths of the advertisements which
appear in the paper are intended to appeal
to the opposite sex, professional lad"
writer should have a thorough knowledge
of what is displeasing TO the women folks.
By the time a poet or novelist has &C
quired sufficient reputation to enable him
to secure good prices for the product of
his pen his powers are generally on the
wane. This is not the case, however, with
the lad" writer, for by advertising he
makes himself known long before he has
lost his ability to do gooc work.

From the Westminster Gazette.
When Lord Randolph Churchill was last

OF the state prisons board, a gentleman re-

Mr.. Biddle, however. Lord Randolph fell
Tito the hands Of some wags OF the Union

OF these merry testers. Its not Cadwala-

Don't mind what he says. Lord Ran

Is Nadbtllader Caddle."
A third member took the ex-chancellor

in confidence that he was being gulled on
all sides.
What, then, is the actual name Of the
prisons board chiefT' anxiously asked the
noble lord
The actual name" confided his false
friend, lis Widbollader Diddle"
And when Lord Randolph drove to the
prison board that evening he was so upset
that he stammered:
