PINE BLUFF. ARK. APR. II. Is9s
CHIMP CLARK $ SL0GAN

Representative "Champ" Clark, of Mo, made a seni-humorous speech on the tariff bill, just before the gag rule under which it was forced through the House stopped all talk, which contained some very serious ideas For instance, he said: If this is not q sectional bill, how does it happen that the Western farm CTS ind their green hides not only on the fence but on the free list, while the New England shoe manu facturer has q high tariff on his finished products? How does it happen that the cotton growers find their products on the free list while the cotton manufacturers have theirs on the protected listY l will tell you why. It was stated with brutal frankness by the gentlman from Indiana, the other day, that the Southern and Western people would have to vote the re- publican ticketor what is equivalent to that, vote high tariff or be de- barred from the benefits of your tariff legislation. Mr. Clark con cluding words were: We may be fools and leather.heads and all that sort of thing, but I tell you gentle men, the people living West of the Alleghany Mountains and South of the Potomac have got sense enough to know when they are sand bagged and held up, and, fools as we are, we have some rights that the New England highwaymen ought to re spect.n

FISH AS FOOD.

The Dark Is Better Than the White Tor
 an Active Person.
 Mrs s. T. Rorer, in The Ladies' Home Journal, contends that there has not been a sufficiently accurate analysis upon which to base any table regarding the chemical composition of fish at all reliable. ''The albuminoid matter in white fish, as cod, haddoek and halibut, is in about the same proportion as in beef and mutton. They contain, how ever, moro phosphorus--the active fish. such as trout and pickerel, containing . still greater amount, due no doubt to their activity. The amount of carbon depends largely upon the amount of fat they contain. The whitefish are, there- fore, deficient in carbon, If you should ask an intelligent cook what vegetable to serve with boiled white fish she would answer quickly, potatoes, as they supply the wanting carbohydrates.
 s.There are other kinds of fish, how ever, such as salmon, catfish and stur- geon, that are quite well supplied with carbohydrates, in consequence of which they are not so easily digested as the white fish. The more oil they have dis persed through the body, the more difh- cult the digestion. In the white fish the fat is held in the liver; in the dark fish it is dispersed through the entire flesh. From this fact we learn that dark fish make a much better diet for the active man. Many authorities affirm that the more active fish, as well as the more active animals, give better muscle mak- ing food than their more indolent rela- tions. ''

Kaiser and Painter.

There was a touching exchange of compliments the other day between Elm peror William and the Russian painter Verestchagin, whose works are now on exhibition in Berlin. The kaiser went to the gallery and was gracious enough to remind the artist that they had met before. Yes, your majesty" replied Verestehagin, land then you were only 'highness, but now you are majesty. To this the kaiser is said to have replied, holding out his hand, And you, who were a great painter then, are now greater one.
 It is not altogether surprising that tho Russian is reported as expressing deep respect for the emperor's critical powers, or that he quotes, as showing limitless historical knowledge, the em- perors declaration, made at this mo- mentous interview, that if ever a judg- ment of God broke over man, it was over Napoleon at Moscow. Meanwhile Verestchagin $ pictures will continue to reveal the horrors of militarism, and thus supply one with the pleasant men, tai recreation of wondering what Flu rope's one real war lord can see to ad- mire in them.

PROOF OF SINCERITY.
How An Army oalcer Stood the supreme
 Test of Belief In Fatalism.


 Test of Belief In Fatalism.
 In the days of the old army" on the frontier. when military posts were sometimes hundreds of miles from any civilized place. there was little to do in the way of amusement in the winter time when the post was snowbound, and it was then that the reputation the army has for card playing and drinking was gained And fl is true that great deal of both was done ut that time.
 It was in these days that an event transpired that showed that the prin- cipal actor had the courage of his con yictions, and that he was most certainly born under lucky star. It was after 8 very ewet" stag dinner party, and all had partaken most freely of the wine, and, strange as 1t may seem, the subject that came up for discussion was the Mohammedan religion. The Mussul- mans believe in fate. To them man 8 fate is written above, and the time of his death is set, and nothing can ad- vance it. We'll, this belief had been dis cussed long and earnestly. The pros and cons had been gone over at length, till one officer wanted to know of what use was reason if every one was born with Il tag of destiny attached. One officer finally arose and said there was no use of discussing the matter any further The only way was to make practical test of the question, and he would give himself as subject Could a man willfully dispose of his life when the fatal moment had been chosen at his birth from above?
 He could get no one to try the expert ment on him. Finally wager was made.
 Who will pay you if I loser" said the subject as he drew his pistol and showed that it was loaded He placed the pistol against his temple and pulled the trigger, The pistol mlssed fire.
 "A joke, yelled the crowd.
 The fatalist smiled, and, recooking the pistol, aimed it with steady hand at the clock on the wall. He fired, and the bullet crashed through the center of the dial.
 Apologize to me now, he said. s'I have won the bet. always believed in fate "-Cineinnati Enquirer.

THE LADIES' HATS AND THE
 BIPDQ


 Has it occurred to the women who are so ably fighting against the slaughter of song birds for hat.deco- rating purposes that there is still another powerful argument at their disposal?
 There are esthetie as we'll as ethical reasons for staying the hand Of the bird.slaying milllner. The incongruity of wearing a bird perched on womans hat ought to be obvious to anyone who has studied either nature or art. In fact, no bird in its senses would even alioht upon some of the hats now worn. the custom is as displeasing to the eye as 1t is repugnant to the sense of humanity. It cannot be many years before womankind will be looking back upon the bird wearing custom much as she now looks back upon the bulging crinolines worn during the war days-with a grin of mingled horror and amusement.
 No, ma'am, the bird on a woman's hat is out of his place and he looks it. The custom is not pretty or attractive. And the ladies who are conducting the new crusade will find that this argument is likely to weigh more with their sisters than any that cou.d be devised. Chicago Pse0r9

THE DECISIVE BLOW.
Jab Over the Heart Followed by One on
the Jaw.

Carson City. New, March 1.-THE
blow that did the business was IL left
hand blow over the heart. Jim stag
gered and Fitz struck him on the jaw.
Jim sank to his knees, ciinging to the
ropes. His face was contOrted with pain
and he could not breathe. He tried in
vain to rise but each time he sank back
in agony with his hands over his heart.
Slowly the fatal seconds were counted
and when he raised his hand at the tenth
second, roar went up from the crowd.
Bob stood overlooking his fallen rival
waiting to administer the finishing bow
if Jim got up, but his caution was I'm
necessary.
Jim's seconds rushed into the ring and
hustled him to his corner Corbett re-
vived, and when he learned he had lost
the fight he became frantic. He broke
away from his seconds and rushed about
hunting for Fitzsimmons and striking
blindly right and left, 1t was q pitifu1
exhibition of impotent rage. His sec
Onds tried in vain to control him, but he
struck viciously at them as well as at
others.
Finally they grabbed him by the arms
and carried him by force from the ring.
This lasted at least five minutes and the
crowd broke into the ring. They were
thrown out by the sheriffs but they
came too fast and the ring was damned.
All this time Fitz sat quietly in his cor
ner, awaiting the decision of the referee.
When Siler's voice could be heard above
The noise awarding Fitz the fight, Julian
grabbed his red-headed brother-in-law
about the neck and together they danced
up and down in frantic manner. They
were crazy with JOY.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons. in her box close to
the ring. laughed and cried alternately
and tried in vain to get through The
crowd TO embrace her husband. For
some minutes Fitz was escorted through
the crowd to his dressing room and his
wife followed.
The end of the fight came with start
ling suddenness. The fourteenth round
was we'll in progress when Corbett, who
had assumed the aggressive, had forced
F'itz into the northwest corner OF the
ring. He was jabbing Bob's bloody face
when the latter's left arm shot out and
his fist caught Corbett right over the
heart and he staggered. Then came Il
was just one minute past o'clock when
the deciding blow was struck.
