Flower Baskets.

Beautiful baskets of quaint shapes. filled with flowers, are decorations now much used for the center of dining ta- bles. They are without handles. and from among the blossoms in the center springs triple ribbon bow gracefully wired. To add to the charm of this decoration little rosettes with ends made of narrower ribbon are often placed so as to peep out here and there from the basket itself.-N Y. Sun.

1897 has come and gone. We have fought a good fight. Our business has been success. We thank our friends and neighbors and neighbors' children and the stranger that soiourneth with them for their patronage during the year 1897.
 1898 is herel
 We are now located on De Queen street in the building for merly occupied by Sam Badt. We have one of the best store buildings in Mena, one of the best places for business in Mena. We underbuy and undersell all the other merchants in Mena. We are the only ones in Mena that can buy goods from C. B. Rouss, of New York, the cheap est place on the continent to buy goods.
 We have more experience, more capital, and we trust more friends than at the beginning of any pre- vious year. We have just placed the largest order for goods we have ever made. They ought to arrive about Jan. 20; then we will teach the ante-bellum, up-to-date 1O0-per-centers that they must touch the peoples pocket books lighter or sell fewer goods. We firmly believe we can and wiU give you more solid Ualue for your dollars than any other house in Mena.

Naval authorities saw that the recent

meet IN the early eighties. In that case
the vessels were at anchor in smooth

cant.
Another thing which il is hoped will be
cleared up thoroughly is the exact utility
OF the fast unarmOred cruiser in battle
theoretically IL IS intended to arm these
DoatS with multitude of machine guns
carrying small-calibre bullets. The fire
from these is to be directed on every port
mole, coming tower slot or aperture in
the sun shields that can be made out from
the decks OF the boat. 1t is believed that
tne hre from one of these boats will be so
searching and whitening that all the Of
hcerS IN the coming tower will be killed
ana that the crews of the guns will be so
declmated that the ship attacked by one
OF THESE modern spitfireS will be put out Of
action in five minutes.
There are opponents TO this theory
however, and they say that, fast as an
unarmored cruiser may be able to go. a
modern shell can travel faster. They cast
doubt upon the ability of the unarmOred
cruiser to turn loose the hail storm Of
lead with which she is credited. and de-
clare that one shot from a big gun on a
modern battleship will put the unarmored
cruiser both out of action and out of ex1I
istence.

Still Sought Safety.

Frank Daniels, the comedian, has
been making extensive improvements
at his country place, up at Rye, and
among other things, an addition TO his
house is building. says the Washington
Post. The foundation requires a deal
of blasting, and whenever any of the
family hear the warning cry, Fire"
from a workman they make a mad
rush for a bathroom at the end of the
passage, where no stone could possibly
crash in. Mr.. Daniels has been enter
tanning cousin of his, a clergymen,
lately, and a few mornings ago all the
family sat at breakfast together. The
clergyman asked a blessing. Among
other things he said:
I'VE thank thee for thy kindly care
during the past night, and We know
that thou dost so watch over US that
we have naught to fear; that we are
safe
Just then someone outside yelled
Fire. and the entire Daniels family
rushed for the bathroom. The clergy
man was in the dash. Indeed, he
reached the place of refuge first.
Frank" he gasped, ARE you sure
we're safe here?"

SUFFERING IN CUBA.
Red Cross Food Sent to the Starving
Inhabitants.

New York, Aug 25.-G. w. Hyatt,
the Red Cross agent at Key West, who
was a prominent Havana merchant,
has been engaged in sending small re-
lief expeditions TO various points on the
Cuban coast. Relative to the work he
writes to Stephen E. Barton as fol-
lows:
Il AMI happy to inform you that the
two last expeditions of food l sent to
Cuba, one to Cardenas, and one to the
coast above Sagua la Grande arrived
safely and were delivered to the hun
cry women and children, to their great
delight. A part of that sent to the
shores near Cardenas was carried on
mems backs nearly to Matanzas and
distributed to the hungry. The men
doing this work have returned here
and are begging for more food. Matan-
zas, Havana and Pinar del Rio prov
inces are suffering horribly. Notwith-
standing you have so much work to
do in the volunteer camps of the Unit
ed States. I most sincerely hope that
the Cuban relief committee will not
forget that there are many thousands
in Cuba who are starving If it meets
your approval j propose to send
small amount of provisions (say two or
three tons) to Havana by the Mas
cote or other way of conveyance, to be

John Randolph's Caustic Wit.

In the current of Susan P. Lees
sketch of John Randolph in the Green
Bag this is found: Randolph's oppo
sition to Madison and the war with
England could not be tolerated even
in his own district. His former friend,
EppeS, the Son-in-law of Mr.. Jefferson.
was chosen as his opponent, and moved
into the district that he might be eli
gible for election. In his electiOneering
speeches Randolph complained that
they had not found native candidate
for the place. On one occasion he stated
that, in the county where he was
speaking, there were only two genteel
families, the IS and the -S. A
A voice on the edge of the crowd
called out, And the Egglestons, Mr..
Randolph. the EgglestOns.'
Certainly, replied Randolph, recOg-
nizing the voice, and the Egglestons-
always excepting yourself, colonel"
and he bowed derisively to the repre-
sentative of the Egglestons.
