Both dogs eat from the same plate but not ct the same time. One day last week we fed Dodgerfeld first. The fox terrier was very hungry and begged hard for first dinner.

 Finally hunger got the better of her honesty, and she parked sharply three short barks Dodger left his plate and sprang to the window, looking exeitedly up and down the road.

 That establishment disgorges into a burn quantity of refuse, no doubt al coholic. When we crossed the bridge in the morning to fish. the ducks from tho farm opposite were behaving in a drunk en and disorderly manner-iiying, beat ing the water, diving, spluttering and greedily deYouring the stuff from tbe distillery. Their antics were funny, but vulgar, By 2 o'clock VIC found tho ducks sleeping off the effects of their debauch. We awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa ter, from which they quenched the tor ments of thirst. A small sea bird behay. ed in still moro deplorable wag.

for Mayor.
 To ng Friends, the People of Pine Blur:
 When l addressed you from Et paa0, Texas, several weeks since am nouaeiag my candidacy for re-elec- ton to the high office you SO .gener- oaslg feposed in my keeping two years ago, it was in the firm belief, based upon my physician's opinion, that was fully restored to health, and therefore able to re-assume the daties 0f the office and complete eer tain pHblie improvements l had in view. Since returning home, how eyer. l have become convinced that my health and strength arc not equal to the task, however much l should ike to undertake it; therefore h justice to my family and myself, and the many kind friends who have so eheerfully rallied to my support, I deem it my duty to withdraw from the contest as 3 candidate forre-elec- ton to the office of Mayor of Pine Bluff.
 Ny physicians advise me that they deem it necessary for me to take another trip at an early day, and unburden myself from all business cares, and to do this precludes the possibility of my again serving as your Mayor.
 With heartfelt thanks to those who have aided me in the discharge of my official duties in the past and to all who have kindly encouraged me in the belief that my efforts in behalf of all the citizens of Pine Bluff have been appreciated, and would have won for me the gratifying com phment of an endorsement term, had my health proved equal to the task, remain,
 Truly and Gratefully Yours,
