AS he followed after the caravan as
well as he was able he saw lying in the
sand a roll of paper, written all over
with strange looking marks. This he
picked up. At first he could not read
the marks, but, as he turned the pages,
he came to one that had the following
on it:
THE WISDOM OF SEELIM, THE
MAGICIAN OF BABYLON"
You may be sure that Arthur looked
at the marks carefully then. While he
was studying the leader of the caravan
came back to find the roll, which he had
lost.
Friend" he began gently, have you
seen a roll of paper on the sand?"

they were satisfied that they must have
killed Arthur. But they thought 1t best
to send at once to the Three Kingdoms
to tell the story of Arthur's appearance
and escape. AS a peace offering TO
please the black dwarfs, if they should
be angry. they decided to add pair or
dead lions to the game they would take
as gift.
There was a loud pounding at the
gate of the Kingdom of Atrophole, one
of the Three Kingdoms of the black
dwarfs. The King sent his warder to
open the gate and found there two
giants, one of whom carried an ele-
phant and the other pair of dead
lions on his shoulders.
King Atrophole took the gifts and
sent the giants on their homeward
way with a warning not to let any
other person live who was found in the
mountains. They were glad to get
away so easily and hurried off for fear
that they would be turned into mice by
the magicians.
The lions flesh was cooked and eaten
for supper by King Atrophole and his
three hundred brothers. The elephant

For he tosses the boys kites so high
That they shout with delight to see
them afar,
Like tiny white specks in the sky.
Such a great old man is this Man OF the

So gentle and fierce can he be,
So strong and so tender, SO cruel and

And can travel so fast and free.

Sometimes he comes grooming a soft

Moving in slow, quiet grace,

Bringing beauty to every place.
But the strange thing about this Man of

Is the way he keeps out Of sight;
We know he's around, but see him not,
Though he whistles with all his

latter gentlemen will oppose each other. In other words, if Mir. Hooper will make the race he will have the undivided support of Messrs. Lamar and Ellis, and if MT Lamar will stand for the position he will be hearti- ly supported by the other two. Again, should MT. Ellis run Messrs. Lamar and Hooper will back him up with all their in fiuence and strength, which is no little.
 Of the three it is pointed out that as it is desirable to have a business man and also a countryman on the Dallas delega- tion, that MT. Ellis, who lives in Orville, and is one of the county's most successful business men, is the most available, there by combining the two in one and leaving two places to be filled by gentlemen learned in the law.
 The contest for representative from the thirtieth senatorial district appears that it will be between F. l.. Pettus and H. L. Mc- Kee unless the conventions membership is increased to 15O, when, perhaps, one or the other may be fortunate enough to fall heir to one of the seventeen new places.

 The occurrence came with startling and tragic unexpcctedness. chang ng the usual calm and dignity of the court into tempor- ary confusion while the dying man was carried from the chamber in futile effort to alleviate his condition.

MT. Garland spoke calmly and with no evidence of agitation or effort He had read from law volume and had fol- lowed with the sentence: This, your honors, is our contention"
 As the last word was uttetred Mr. Gar land was seen to raise his. hand and then gasp. He tottered and fell sdewise, strik- ing against chair and overturnng it as he fell heavily to the floor. A succession of loud gasps came from him as he lay on the floor His associate in the case, Mir Franklin Mackey, was at once by his side and with other counsel and officials the head of the dying man was raised, his shoes removed and a draught of water given him.
 A deathly pallor had overspread his face and this soon gave place to a deep purple which foretold the gravity of the attack He was carried from the chamber across to the room of Chief Clerk McKenna and there placed on a sofa.
 Senator Galinger who is a physician was near at hand. single glance told him that the attack would be fatal. With in ten minutes from the time of the stroke MT. Garland breathed his last.
 The court in the meantime had postponed the case in which MT. Garland was en- gagged, and until the serious phase of the attack was known had proceeded with other bus ness. Word of the tragedy was soon noised through the capitol and senators and representatives hurried to the court room. The two Arkansas senators, MT . Berry and MT.

Selma, January 26-(Special) )-There is . generally expressed sentiment, especially among those who desire to see at least one country representative go to the constitu- tional convention, that Dallas should send as her three members of that convention Messrs. H. s. D. Mallory, J. A. Satterfield and Benjamin F. Ellis. This ticket is talk ed of great deal by visitors who come to the city from the country precincts, and there is no denying that the trio named would reflect honor on Dallas county.
 There is a strong sentiment that at least one business man should go from this coun- ty, and Messrs. c. w. Harper. Ernest La- mar and B. r. Ellis have been the most frequently mentioned. Neither of these

SPANISH CABINET.
Sagasta Outlines the Governments In- tentions Regarding Peace Treaty.

Madrid, January 26.-The cabinet met this afternoon under the presidency of the queen regent.
 The premier, Senor sagasta, outlined the governments intentions relative to the peace treaty. He said that information received by the minister of foreign affairs Duke Almodovar de Rio, had created the impression that President Mckinley feared the treaty would be defeated in the senate and apprehended an obstinate resistance upon the part of the Philippine insurgents against the Americans who desire to de- prive them of independence and debase the Spanish government, which are sufficient reasons for the triumph of the anti-annex- ationists in the senate. Therefore, the premier insisted that the conversation of the cortes should no longer be delayed
