SCarrift' s Wedding Gih
[From Romance.l

II was all the fault of Scarritt's philosoph-
ico-inventive mind. / said to him one day:
''Scarritt, you will invent something yet
that will make enemies of all the friends you
have"
mot if they know how to use it" he re-
piled. my inventions are all as simple as A
BIC. ANY child can use them, once they un-
derstand what they are for"
always liked Scarrtt. We went through
college together, and he still kept the disposi-
ton which had there gained him the reputa-
tion of a jolly good fellow.
But Scarritt has weakness; he would in
vent things. His inventions were peculiar
That they were original, nobody denied; that
they were useful, nobody admitted;
He had invented machine for picking
poultry, but the machine cost more than
hired help, and it was slow, though it did its
work well enough.
Another invention of his was combina-
tion salt-and-pepper shaker. 1t worked to
perfection, IL you didn't caro- which condi-
Went you sprinkled upon your food, but If
you desired pepper, it was sure to render
salt, and vice versa.
He had contrived combination sleigh and
carriage, which would have been bonanza,
except that it cost small fortune to have it
manufactured at all. So that, while aiming
at economy, searritt had achieved only
luxury.
Yet, Scarritt was not discovered. He went
happily forward, inventing something new
and ingenious every little while. 1t was the
general opinion of his friends that in time he
would invent something really great, and,
very possibly, without malice aforethouCht.
But this story is about wedding gift
After sufficiently ardent courtship of
Nanette Cartwright, had offered myself and
been accepted; first, by the young lady her
self, then by her more formidable papa, and

He Means What He SAYS.

The announcement that Mr.. Charles Baum is to
retire from business was Il great surprise to the
public and his friends generally. The ladies
especially regret this action on the part of Mr.
saum, as they say ''they will be deprived of
such a nice shopping place" The name of
.Baum's Popular Shopping Place" is as familiar
toWashingtonians the Washington monument

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention at Little Rock, Ark,
June %, 1894.

The Democratic party of Arkan
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-aflirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles Of
the national Democratic party as
expressed In its platforms and rati
fed in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol
lowing specific declarations:
We insist upon a strict compli
ance with the repeated declara
tions of the party in favor of a tar.
iii for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re.
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
4 fair competition in the markets
of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni.
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed.
10 the end that taxation may be
distributed on an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay its
fair share of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
Il time been borne by the consump.
tion of the people, We favor an
income tax.
We still consider the act of 1873
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed.
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event OF great emergencies when
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments Of the occasion cannot be en-.
forced without manifest oppression
OF the people. Therefore we are
opposed to the issue of bonds in
time of peace.
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-

zeal of the odious Federal election

peal of the odious Federal election
law.
We favor the cont1nuedmaintain-
ance of our free public schools in
the interest of general intelligence
and public information.
Believing that home rule and To-
cal self Government are cardinal
principles in a Republican govern
ment, we therefore endorse and ap-
prove the action of the legislature
of Arkansas in enacting laws rele-
eating to the people the right of
settling the liquor question for
themselves in accordance with the
wishes and sentiments of the conn
try affected.
We congratulate the people upon
the faithful and economical admin
istration of her state government
under Democratic rule, and invoke
the cooperation of all good citizens
in the perpetuation of so desirable
condition of affairs.
