The very swagger people give dances in the pavilion of the old Iowa building in Jackson park. They put fence of benches around so that the populace may see, but are yet kept out. It's great source of amusement to the simple yil- lagers to gather in throngs outside the benches and behold and comment upon the grace and beauty of the aristocracy.

THE WRONG 0K G0RED.
lHot SprIngs News.


 If fthe Neaos were as vicious in dis position as Gov. Clarke, it might charge him with having been tam pered with" by the lIron Noun tain Railroad Hobby" whereby that cor poration secured a reduction of $111, : 900 on it's tax assessment. During the session of the Legislature last winter This excellency" boldly and publicly insinuated that a majority of it's members had been corrupted by railroad corporations. This he did because the Legislature failed to pass railroad commission bill, against which many members voted because of peculiar objectionable and as they believed unconstitu tional features in the bill. All ses- sions of the Legislature were open to reporters and the public. No persons were barred from any com mittee where the matter was con sidered. The unwarranted and out rageous charge made by Gov. Clarke rested upon no stronger foundation than that certain members of the Legislature had been known to hear from certain railroad attorneys, a statement of their ideas why such leg  islation should not be enacted, and the further fact that certain other members were, or had been, attor- neys for railroads. Upon such fiimsy pretext the Governor assumed that these men, whose regulations pub lie and private, had always been as unsullied as his, had been corrupted. He saw proper to lend his aid to the Memphis Commercial Appeal in pub- licly traducing majority of the House by such insinuations. 1t looks like the irony of fate which has now turned the peculiar logic of his excellency upon his own devoted head, and made him the victim of the same paper in which, under sim liar, though different circumstances, he discovered such matchless patri- otic virtues. It must be ad- mitted, however, that the Conner cidl-Appeal is entitled to credit for greater consistency than the Gov ernor has exhibited, for certainly a secret conference with the powerful railroad lobby followed by an off cial act through which the lobby se- cures tax reduction of $l1l ,000, is a circumstance far more significant than any upon which he based his aspersions upon members of the Legislature. But in this instance the wrong OK gets gored and the OK is promptly heard from and again tue i5sss;it,,a.;ic public is treated to an exhibi- tion of executive temper, the cir cumstances of which reflects no credit upon the great State of Ar kansas.

While on the subject of books and Summer

special mention-Mrs Dana's How to Know

Botany has long meant, to most people, q

ture OF flowers with a knife and microscope
without seeming to see their daintiness and
poetry, and that substituted uncouth Latin
names for our dear familiar friendly titles
Now new ideas have come up and one can have
halfway knowledge of the flowers that may
lead either to the exact science of botany oil
may simply lead to wider knowledg e of their
poetry. Mrs Dana's book is delightful guide
for all fower-lovers. She has arranged it a:

We shall be able to name those we gather in our

In this book we shall have list of all our
flowers arranged according to color, az white
flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers, pink

Riding the bicycle has ceased to be either
undignified or conspicuous. Several years
ago bishop denounced the practice by
women as immodest and therefore immoral.
An immodest woman on "a bicycle would
surely be immOdest still, the wheel not hav-
ing any power TO save her, but an mmOdest
woman would be immodest walking in the
street or sitting in church, OF wherever she
might be- The bicycle has nothing what
ever to do with modesty or with iamodesty,
with morality or with immortality; and
when the pious bishop uttered his denun-
citation of the machine and its use his intel
lectuals must have been befuddled by too
much bordering on subjects too hard or too
easy for him. But his dietum has not
counted for much, for the bicycle is growing
in popularity every day, and the manufac-
turers, one of whom at least is turning out
100 machines q day, have difficulty in fill
ing the orders that are sent to them.
