A LAWYERS READY ANSWER.
In Which He Reflected Credit UpoD His Client as We'll as
 Himself

An eminent lawyer, one of the most em. inent in the United States, was in the midst of an argument before the supreme court in defense of the patent rights of his client to a new.fangled collar button that was being unlawfully manufactured by the people on the other side of the ease. The distin- guished counsel was describing the patent referred to, and its many advantages, says the Kansas City Journal, when Judge Shiras interrupted him, and, in most seri- ous manner, observed:
 T should like to ask the learned counsel If his client manufactures collar button that won't roll under the bed"
 Of course the court was shocked. Some young people in the seats reserved for spec. tators Uttered, and the marshal, rapping on his desk with his gavel, roared: Silence in this honorable court!" The eminent coun. sel maintained his gravity, although his soul must have been deeply stirred, and had presence of mind enough to turn the in- cident to his own advantage, saying with emphasis:
 'I have the honor to inform the court that the collar button manufactured by my client is unique in that as well as in other respects, but my client would not be so selfish as to patent so important bens it to mankind"

Worth POnderinx.

Progress is the greatest product of industry.
 The greater a man becomes the less he thinks of himself.
 Satisfied people in this age of the world are easily satisfied.
 It is possible for one to be so az gressive as to forget to defend him. self.
 Boodling politicians are pirates on the sea of government-their prey, the ship of state.
 While an honest man knows he is honest, he is not addicted to inform ing the public of the fact.
 The free and easy man with a pock- etful of change is "rattling" good fellow so long as he has enough to rattle.
 The forgetful man usually smiles when reminded of the fact that when he is dead his friends will cherish his memory.
 This is certainly an eventful age, when the chainless bicycle, horseless carriage and smokeless powder are followed by newsless newspaper Chicago Chronicle.

A Southern Joan of Arc.

"Douschka" Pickens won for herself the title of South Carolina's Joan of Arc" upon the occasion of Edgefield county being threatened with a negro uprising which seemed to extend over the entire state. This was in 1876, when political feeling ran high. The town of Edgefield was given over to rioting of all kinds, which no one seemed able to control, and the homes and even the lives of the inhabitants were threatened. At this juncture 1,500 "red shirts" of whom the negroes stood in great awe, gathered from no one knew where, and, led by ''Dousch- ka" herself dressed in red, rode into the village bringing terror with them. The result was a complete intimidation of the negro clement without which the opposing political party was prac- tically helpless. The example set by the plucky child of IS was followed in other parts of the state with equal sue- sess.-Ladies' Home Journal.

POPULAHONOF ARKANSAS
Census Report Shows An Increase in the Past Ten Years
 of I6.75 Per Cent.
GROWTH NOT so RAPID IS IN PAST DECADES
State Entitled to Another Congressman. Population of Counties. Towns and Cities as Compared With the Census of Ten Years Ago.

The census bureau has made DUO. 1,c the returns for the state of Arkan- sas. giving the population by coua- ties townships and all incorporated towns. The population of the state fin 1900 is 1911. 1.564. as against 1,12S,- 17s in 1890. an increase since 1890 of 1ss.sS5. or 1925 per cent. This rate of increase is only about two-fifths of the decade from 1880 to 1890, when it was 4O5S per cent. and less than one-fourth of that for the decade from 1870 to 1880. when it was 65.65 per cent. From 1860 to 1870 there was an increase of only 11.26 per cent, but prior to 1860 the population more than doubled itself during each de- cade. and for the decade from 1880 to 1S40 showed an increase of 221.O9 per cent.
 The total land surface of Arkansas is, approximately. 53,045 square miles, the average number of persons to the square mile at the censuses of 1880 and 1900 being as follows: 1890. 21.27; 1900. PATE.
 It was expected the census would show population of 100000, giv- ing the state two additional congress men, but as it is she gets but one.
 By the censut of 1900 fourteen more counties will be entitled to separation of the office of county and circuit clerk. In each county where the population reaches 15,O00 the sep aration applies. The counties raised to that figure by the census are Ash ley, Clay, Craighead. Greene, Law renee, Miller, Mississippi, Nevada, Polk. Randolph. St Francis, Sevier. Union and Woodruff. Gov. Jones will appoint an additional clerk for each of these counties, so they can qualify and enter upon their duties October 31.
 There are 1S4 incorporated towns, cities and villages in Arkansas, each of which is given in the following ta- ble, the first figure in each case rep resenting the population in 1900 and the second in 1890.
