EpIToRs 'TIMEs:

EDITORS TIMES:
 Your excellent editorial in last week 's TIMES called The First Step" attracted any attention. Your words go dir ctly lo the heart of the matter. You pray for a sesaiiz,d primary to make all nuinih ations from con, table on up to governor, fer prosecuting attorney, congressman and l. S. senator. l have been working all win. ter upon that line. 1 have been like John the Baptist crying in the Wilder iless. But up to the present only three counties in the entire district of fifteen counties have granted this boon.
 It is sad That the prayers of the righteous avaieih much ' do not claim so be righteous. and perhaps you nor..thr Augusta Vidette folks do not quite come np tn the standard. Hence our pra, CTS are not answered. But take it. that the passage in hoy writ, meant prayers to Ged, The saying does not ap- ply m the least to any prayers offered up 10 the political bosses
 1 could give you some little experience. wherein one or two bosses have worked an eHtlre executive committees over to their way And one or two busses nearly always run tue average conveution in spite Of the people, the devil or high water. Give tne primary, first, last and all the tune In preference to a convention. As the matter now stands. it is too late to change the order. For my sake. as a cand- date. II tinately affected. let the matter stand as the executive committee fixed it.
 The people can easily run the conyeli- tions if they will only do SO, but they must quit their blowing or other work on Saturday evening, April 25. and at ? o'clock appear at your township conven tions and insist that you instruct for con- gfessinaii and Tor prosecuting attorney The instructions must he made then or never. Do not allow yourself to be con vihced to the contrary. 1 have few false friends that are the kind of friends that BrGtus was to Cesar. like Judas lscarot was to Christ For myself have every confidence that the actual people will turn out, not only in this, but in severs other counties, and ask my nomination Shall the bosses or the people rule?
 Very truly.

 "A n important real estate deal was yesterday closed and one ti.at will have material influence in advancing the progress of the city. Negotiations had long been pending through II. 4.

ladies Toes-A New Use for Them!

NEW YoRK.-While Miss Katie Smuck. of New York City who was bathing in Lake keuka. near Ham mondsport. Wednesday. aas lying on the shore with her feet near the water, a large whiteiish, rarely seen in the lake. jumped out of the water and caught one of Miss Smuek's great toes biting it quite severely. The fish was caught by young man with his hands and cooked for supper"
 Just here startling query suggests itself. Is this incident likely to create craze for young ladies toes as the most fashionable fishing bait? We have frequently heard of ladies part ing with their black. blonde or golden dresses for money, but tbis new craze for lady toe bait would. if developed |, afford an entirely new source of in- come-that is while the supply lasted. It is possible that the expense of the natural article may prevent it's general use, but this difficulty can be over come. The manufacturers who have reproduced in rubber such marvellous ly perfect frogs. grasshoppers, min- nows. etc. will be equal To the emer gency, and may find it advisable to place on the market a series of "lady toe baits" possibly including "toe nail spoons with ankle joint connections" etc.
 It would probably be necessary that the styles represent "all ages and con ditious of lifeo with or with ut corns. bunions and chiblains. Of course. for the southern market. it would be ad visable to label the largest ones "St. Louis girls" but the dainty little pink ones which no game fish could resist, should be labelled in gold Forrest City maidens.
 One of the most startling features of the new bait would be the appearance of the bait dealers show cases with several gross of ladies' toes strung on cards, each toe with a horrid honk sticking out of the end. Probably the prevailing color would be pink. but they might also oe provided in yellow. copper color and black. Think of it and shudder.
 Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain. the Newsstand at Forrest City can be depended upon to introduce any desirable novelty and to supply any demand. Call and see their stock of fishing novelties
