A Clever Lawyer.

An old lawyer i'll Paris had instruct
ed very young client of his to weep
every time he struck the desk with his
hand. Unfortunately the barrister for
got and struck the desk at the wrong
moment. The client fell to sobbing and
crying.
"What is the matter with your"
asked the presiding judge.
"Well, he told me to cry as often as
he struck the table.
Here was nice predicament, but
the astute lawyer was equal to the &C.
casion. Addressing the jury, he said:
well, gentlemen, let me ask you
how you can reconcile the idea of crime
in conjunction with such candor and
simplicity. await your verdict with
the most perfect confidence. Elk

The Women of Guiana.

The wife of the cody in Guiana is a
woman who is very much to be envied.
Every gold or silver piece her husband
receives for his services is beaten into
personal trinkets to be worn by his bet
ter half. In this condition it constitutes
,h- cash wealth of the family. 1t is per-
fectly safe, as it is as much as any mans
life is worth to touch the trinkets SO long
as the woman wears them. These same
women are also noted for their beauty.
Their features are straight and perfect,
their eyes beautiful in color and their
forms perfect models of symmetry and
grace. Dressed in soft, filmy materials,
rich in color and eastern figures, they
present strangely oriental and fantastic
appearances.

Une renewal or the charter of the Bank
of France. which has just been prolong-
ed by the national legislature until the
end of 1920, has brought to light the
measures that were adopted during the
war of 1870 for the preservation of the
specie and valuables confided to the
care of the institution to the extent of
over 500, 900, 600. 1t seems that the
whole Of this treasure was packed into
some %, 200 cases, marked explosive
projectiles, and was shipped by rail
to Brest, where it was cached" in such
a manner in the arsenal that. had even
the Germans captured the port, they
would never have discovered the hiding
place. Indeed, so elaborate were the
precautions adopted that neither the
people who shipped the cases from Par
is nor those who col6ealed them at
Brest had any idea o. the contents of

THE RIVER OF LIFE.


IT'S fleeting, changeful river,
Blent of calm and crusted wave,
Flowing in and out forever
Tween the cradle and the grave.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing, ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.
Forms of light and shapes of shadow
Float upon its troubled breast.
Through the moorland and the meadow,
On; the waters will not rest.
Here a bud, by churl hand wrested,
Flung into the angry foam.
There flower with blooms invested
Plucked and ravished from its home
Youth and age, and strength and weakness
Beauty, innocence and sin,
Pride and power, and love and meekness,
All in turn are gathered in.
Time and Death, two grand old warders,
Watch it rise and mark it flow.
Death, upon the still seas borders,
Bids the ice wind ON it blow.
Changeful river fond hearts parting,
In that still and solemn sea
Joined to heal the grief and smarting
Bud and flower with stem shall be.
For DER Time and Death an angel
Gods strong angel-walks the waves,
Claiming with his trump, Evangel,
All that pass within the grave.
Claiming for his Lord and Master,
By the flaming cross he wears,
Although battered by disaster
All the sullen river bears.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.

A swallow is considered one of the
fastest of flying birds, and it was
thought until recently that no insect
could escape it. A naturalist tells of an
exciting chase he saw between a swal-
low and a dragon fly, which is among
the swiftest of insects, the latter finally
escaping.

Senator Allen, of Nebraska, gave
the civil service law some hard and
justly merited hits the other day in
his speech in support of bill repeal
ing the civil service law. Allen
called the attention of the senate to
the utter inconsistency of turning
down competent and experienced
engineer, who might be an applicant
for a position as engineer, and give
the place to some book scholar that
did not know the first principles of
engineering. There is a great deal
of farce in the whole thing and
Senator Allen made some telling
points.

Some of our Lincoln county
farmers ought to try fax raising
both for the seed and the fiber. We
believe that the soil and climate Of
this county are both particularly
adopted to the culture ofthis article.
Flax is one of the staple crops in
many parts of the United States,
and we believe that it would be
here after it was once started. The
seed would always bring good
price here and it would be a crop
that would bring in some ready
money to the farmers. If any of
our readers, have ever tried flax in
this county we would like to hear
of their experiment.

A special Washington correspon-
dent to the Astoria Budget says:
"Corbett is not succeeding so well
here as the Oregonian would have
the people of Oregon believe. All
the members of the committee on
privileges and elections are thor
oughly familiar with the proceed
ings at Salem, and with a few
exceptions, say that such a prece-
dent can not be recognized under
any circumstances. When the
Corbett appointment comes up in
the senate it will be attacked with
all the strength of the dominant
opposition. Corbett will not be
seated"

The city election in Chicago last
Tuesday resulted in an overwhelm-
ing democratic victory. There
were four candidates for mayor in
the contest. The straight demo-
Gratis run Carter H. Harrison, the
republicans run Sears, the gold
democrats run Hesing, the present
postmaster of Chicago, and Harlan
was an independent candidates.
The result of the election was
astonishing in more ways than one.
In the first place the democratic
nominee received more votes than
all the other three put together.
But The most startling feature of
the election was the number of votes
cast. There were 47,ooo less votes
at the city election last Tuesday
than were cast last fall in the presi-
dental election. OF this great fall
ing off the democrats lost less than
1900, while the republicans lost
over $4,000. The vote cast at the
election Tuesday were 1000 more
than were cast at the city election
a year ago. The election Tuesday
was holly contested by all parties
and it is admitted that the full vote
was cast. The question might be
asked, what became of that other
block of 47,o votes.

The awful floods in the Missis-
sippi valley are something terrible
to contemplate. With whole coun
ties under water, towns and cities
flooded, hundreds dead and thou
sands rendered homeless, the situa-
tion is indeed an appalling one.
And it is said that in all ttat vast
and fertile tract that is now over
flowed not single crop can be
raised and harvested this year. No
need now for the United States to
send supplies to starving India.
Her charity can all be dispensed to
the sufferers of the greatest flood
ever known in the Mississippi val
ley.

Dreams and campaign promises
appear to be made out of about the
same kind of material. We all
remember how the Mckinley ora
tors and papers scorched poor old
Grover for his refusal to annex
Hawai-, and for his stand in the
Cuban matter. Many papers and
speakers promised that the first act
of the Mckinley administration
would be to the rescue of poor
Cuba. What shock it must be to
have it given out that the policy of
the Cleveland administration in the
Cuban matters will be strictly fol-
lowed out by the present admins
tration. And now comes the fur
ther announcement that Secretary
of State Sherman is not in favor of
the United States acquiring more
territory, and hence will oppose a
treaty looking to the annexation OF
Hawaii. There don't seem to be
much difference between the two
administrations after all.

It is quite customary on Sunday afternoon for young lady to awaken from her nap when the first caller is announced, spend half an hour in kissing herself fond good by in the mirror. and then slowly coming into the presence of the anxiously waiting young man. A West Sixth avenue belle last Sun day afternoon eompletly annihilated all previous records by awaking from her nap, handsomely attiring herself and appearing just three minutes after the arrival of her two first callers, both of whom were SO surprised at such an unprecedented occurrence that their nerves have not, as yet, assumed their normal condition.

An Appeal to Them in ths Interest

Today J. Ed, Murray Camp, ex- Confederates, received circular letter from the United Confederate Veterans asking for contributions to a fund which is to be used in send ing Geu. John B. Gordon and Dr. Liqnoski to Mexico to intercede with President Diaz for the Life of Mac Stewart, an old Confederate soldier who is now in a Mexican prison, under sentence of death.
 Stewart was attacked by several Mexicans, and in defending himself killed one of them. He was tried and convicted before Mexican court on the charge of murder. It is said that the homicide was justi- fable; yet unless President Diaz ex- tends executive elemeney he will be shot.
 J. Ed. Murray Camp will send con- tributions to the fund to be used in sending envoys to Mexico to inter- cede for the life Of an old soldier of the Lost Cause.

PINE BLUFF, ARK. Aug. l;

PINE BLUFF, ARK. Aug, 13. Dear sir:-The weather has under gone a decided change since our re port of the Sd inst, and fears of a protareted drouth have subsided. Good rains have fallen throughout the grater part of this territory, though some of our bayou and hill lands are suffering severely from lack of moisture. One hill farmer who has 35 acres in cotton says that he will not get more than one bale out of 1t; his section has not had good rain in over three months.
 The crop in the river and bottom lands, however. was never better; a large yield is practically assured and the season has been very favorable to the development of a good and regular staple, Our planters are all anxious to bring the quality of their cotton buck to it's old time standard Of excellence, and this season will show a marked advance in that direction. Cotton is opening very slowly; some little picking is going on but will not become general until about September 1st or little later
 Very truly yours,
