THOSE CHARITY PARTIES.
The Head of the House Had His Say md Then Paid for His
 Fun.

The two fair daughters of the household were discussing the entertainment they pro. posed giving for the benefit of little work of charity in which they were interested, and, as matter of course, the old gentleman had to have his say.
 Its an internal nuisance" he declared. "The house will be in a commotion for a week, nothing will be thought of but your party, and everything will be disarranged. That night we will all be awake till well to- ward morning, and the next day, those who are not sick will go about snarling and half asleep. 1 call 1t nothing but tomfoolery"
 Papa, sad the eldest, don't you under. stand that we are going to help some of the poor and that every cent we make will pro- Nlde them with some comfort? What you should do is to encourage us"
 Don't talk silly. It's a good deal you gris care about the charitable feature of this socIai combination your in. It's the boy. and girls and cards and dancing you want No use trying to pull the wool over my eyes. :
 Very well. We'll try to do our duty even if you do make 1t hard. We at least have some sympathy for the afflicted"
 Oh, you have! Sweetly disinterested aren' youS How much did you take in al the last bowout?"
 "Jnst $l350," proudly.
 Well, I'll give you just S3050 for tht cause if you'll not inAict your coworkers or us. Now, how's your charity?"

Ex- Gov. Fishback An Expansionlst.

Hon. Wm. M Fishbacll is in favor of the United States holding the Philip pine Islands and all other territory over which the American flag waves as a re- suit of our victory over Spain. Col Fishback says: That the United States, the grandest national power on earth, should stand appalled, before the task of harmonizing and civilizing the Phil ippines would cast a stain upon our history that would never be wiped out And aside from questions of patriotic duty to our sellowmen, we should hold these islands as business proposition The trade of the orient will be i'm mensely profitable to any people who may secure a large share of it. The proximity of our people. our enterprise, our commerce and our free institutions to China and Japan and other oriental countries which would be affected by our possession of these islands, will en- able our business men to see, appreciate and seize opportunities of trade expan- sion as they may arise, and superior in telligenee will not be slow to avail our selves of them.

LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 6.-News re- ceived here from throughout the state shows that only about two-thirds of the voters went to the polls yesterday, and in counties where the democratic nominees for local offices were without opposition not more than half the usual vote was polled.
