FORREST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON JUNE 49, 1897


faded, her hair brushed back in plain
plait, her cheek transparently pale, and
there was an expression in her eyes, as
they looked into the red embers, that
made Mr.. Folliott's heart ache.
I've not come any too soon," he
thought, and then he said alound:
"Graciel Little Gracie!"
With sudden cry she sprang to her
feet and ran sobbing into his arms.
"Oh, take me awayl" she exclaimed.
"0h, am so miserable here!"
The old man looked at her. with tears
in his eyes.
Il have made mistake, Gracie," said
he. NO man can do his duty by proxy.
i should have kept you myself. Never
mind, little one, henceforward you shall
be all my own"
He turned to Bridget.
Pack her Clothes" said he, ''and lose
no time"
Bridget stared. Are you going to
take her away, sir?" said she.
Mr.. Folliott nodded.
"And it's glad of it am" said the

place for gentleman's daughter, is this

And when Mrs. Folliott and her
daughters returned, tired and cross. at
two o'clock in the morning, there was
no patient Oracle to do the duties of n
lady's maid to them. And note from
their rich relative on the hall table ex-
planned the phenomenon.
Mrs. Folliott grew pale as she read
the curt words in which Cousin Paul
expressed his meaning.
I'VE shall never have n cent from him
again as long as we live" said she.
But Oracle. secure in his parental
love, was happy, and when she looked
back over those New York days they
seemed like nothing but troubled
dream.
From which she had awakened, thank
Heaven!-N Y. Ledger.

The japanese reporter makes about
as much money as the Japanese police
men-that is, six dollars month. In
Toxic some of them make more, and in
the smaller towns they make as little
at two dollars a month, but six dollars
is a fair average. They are not sent
out on regular assignments as a rule,
but are given rowing commission. The
editor tells them to get news-real
news if there is any, but get news;
and they never return empty-handed.
A good newsgatherer is rare among
them, but the "fakir" is plentiful
enough, and really clever. Interview.
ing can hardly be said to be popular.
The people do not understand il and
do not like it. Japan is esoteric and
doesn't tell what it knows if it can help
itself. Still, there are interviews in
japanese papers. Politicians have them.
selves interviewed occasionally, and dis
tinguished "globe-trotters" usually
submit.-N. Y. Post.

serene matron. Her cost will be abb
solutely nothing"
And so, in the course of few weeks.
Gracie Bellaire found herself settling
down to the position of lady's maid to
the three Misses Folliott. She sewed
the buttons on Madalena's boots, she
ran out on rainy days. when the very
chambermaid objected on account of
the weather. to match shades of worsted
and filoselle for Alicette, the second
daughter; she washed Florence's
poodle for her, and wept many "a tear of
bitter modification the while. And bv
degrees her shoes grew worn and rusty,
her healthy young growth outstripped
the limits of the coarse serge gowns.
her homeland mantle became so shabby
that she could not go out except under
cover of the friendly dusk. Once, driven
10y desperation, she wore Florence's
white chapeau and soft seal jacket.
But she never repeated the experiment,
for Mrs. Folliott met her on the stairs
and flashed the light of her great, black
eyes upon her in manner that was
truly appalling.
II ever you presume to do such
thing again." said she. in low voice of
concentrated wrath, you shall be shut
up on bread and water for month";"
but have nothing to wear" pleaded
Grace.
Your clothes are good enough" said
Mrs. Folliott, sharply. There is moth
ing so sinful as vanity!"
But when | go to school," began
Grace.
You are not going to school," said
Mrs. Folliott. "lt is your business to
stay here and help Jane with the china
and silver, and make yourself useful.
You are not young lady, like Miss
Alicette and Miss Florence-you are
only a working girl"
Child though she was, Oracle Bel
laire comprehended the injustice of all
this. Kind old Mr.. Folliott hadn't
meant this when he gave her over into
Mrs. John Folliott's charge. He must
have forgotten to send the money, Grace
thought, or she never would have been
treated thus.
Its a shame!" said honest Bridget,
the cook. THE child ought to have
exercise, at least"
Sure, if she was the cat they couldn't
take less notice of her." said Norah. the
waitress.
And just look at the clothes of her."
said Fannie, the smart chambermaid.
'She's kept me awake with her cough
for two nights" said Bridget, "and all
the paregoric l give her don't loose it
up Bit
For Mrs. Folliott, under an extra pres
sure of company, had ordered Grace to
sleep with Bridget for a night or two,
and when the company was gone moth
ing had been said about her resuming
her little room again.
THE girls need it to keep their sum-
mer dresses in" said Mrs. Folliott.
And Grace is just as well off with
Bridget"
''They wouldn't care If she coughed
herself out of the world entirely" said
Norah.
Worse luck to 'em." said Fannie.
"But nobody ever yet ground down the
orphan and the fatherless without there
was a judgment on 'em for itl"
Mr.. Folliott all this time was begin
ming to be little uneasy. His elegant
city relative wrote at stated intervals,
but her communications were eminent
ly unsatisfactory.
II should like to see the child" he
said within himself. "And last night ]

IN TIE TWILIGHT.

MY hands are growing weary.
while from my setting sun
The gold Is slowly fading.
And so much work undone.
NOW every passing moment
some task unfinished brings
40 hands grown weary doing
So many useless things.
My feet are also weary;
The ways they walk are hard.
Ihe thorns have held and hurt them.
The stones have left them SCARED.
here, In the gathering twilight,
They falter now and fall.
Poor feet that stray so far from
The straight and narrow trail
Away off in a canyon
hear lost sheep cry,
And on the perfect pathway
See happy souls go by.
But NY soul is weary
AS wearily l plod,
ana all because I've wandered
30 lar away from God

The national flag it is customary to
hoist daily, from sunrise to sunset; but
in large cities there are many flags, or
more properly speaking, burgess, that
are hoisted only when the wind is in
certain directions, so that the wind will
blow them out over the street in front
of the buildings on which they are
hoisted. These are big flags. some of
them of great size, bearing the name OF
the business house from which they
float Some of them are big enough to
stretch across the street. Such flags
would only be wasted if hoisted when
the wind would blow back over the
building. They could not be seen there
and they would soon wear out on roofs
and walls and in whipping around
chimneys, and so they are hoisted only
when the wind is right.-N. Y. Sun.

BETTER DROP 1T.


To advise the republicans in congress
to drop the Dingley-Aldrich tariff bill
and say no more about it is to give
counsel of unattainable perfection. The
republican party exists for tariff maxi
ing and cannot in reason be expected to
abandon the object of it's being.
Nevertheless, it would be better for
the party to drop the tariff bill. 1t
would have fewer and less powerful
enemies now and hereafter. 1t would
be more united. There would not be
SO many old-time republicans going
about proclaiming that they had had
enough of McKinleyism. The present
angry disposition of the country to
punish the party and drive it out of
power would be Immediately and vis-
IDLY modified.
We suppose nine republicans out of
ten would reply that the party gave
pledges in it's platform that it would re-
wise the tariff in the interests of Amer
lean labor and American industries, and
that it would never do for congressman
to go home without having passed .
tariff bill. Democrats talked in that
way three years ago after the Wilson
bill had been rewritten by the senators
from Havemeyer and so bedeviled that
ii made tariff-reform democrats sick.
But the democratic party would have
been better off if the house had put the
ak to the perverted measure and post
poned tariff revision to a more pro-
pitious season. The responsibility of
leaving the Mckinley act in force would
have been serious, but less damaging to
the democracy than the ill.repute of
that scandalous sugar schedule.
The Dingley-Aldrich bill win come out
of the conference committee the most
shameful and infuriating tariff meas
ure ever put before the country. There
will be a disgraceful wrangle over it.
and possibly some ugly scandals. II
may not pass at all. If it does pass, il
will doom its makers to certain defeat
in the next congressional elections
And the longer 1t is in force the angrier
the country viii get. Better drop il al
together.-N. Y. Times.
The Forrest City times., 1897-06-18

There is only one thing that
stands between this corntry and re-
viyal of prosperity. 1t is the United
States senate, which, taking care of the
interests of the sugar trust and other
private concerns commits the govern
ment to continued bankruptcy and the
people to prolonged poverty.-N. Y.

END OF SIXTH WEEK
Of ChIcagos Celebrated Trial-Sienographer
 in Bad Fix.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-The close of the sixth week of the celebrated trail of Adolph Luetgert for the alleged murder of his wife showed the case far from com pleted. Luetgert's story has not been heard. The big sausage maker may be on the stand week. It is predicted the anxiety of the accused man to talk will be fully satisfied before his cross-exami- nation is closed if he goes on the wit ness stand and ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel for the defense, has promised Luetgert that he will be heard
 Ihe greater part of the past week was devoted to threshing over old straw. The concensus of opinion at the close of the week and afternoon by close observ- CTS of the trial since the opening was that the prosecution had the better of the argument. Experts of the defense have contradicted each other on cross- examination They have also made blunders in the Identification of bones which amused the jurors and apparent ly weakened their testimony.
 Both of the hands of Charles Boss, a stenographer in the states attorneys office are swollen badly and much in famed. Boss has been reporting the Luetgert trial and has handled the bones placed in evidence quite freely. A phy- sfcian who today examined the stenog- rapher's hands said they showed evil dence of tubercular germs. The result may be serious.
 The trial will last at least three weeks longer.
