SMALL AND ABSURD.

1t occurs to us that the crlu-
cisms that some of our exchanges
make of Senator Jones are pecu-
liarly small and ridiculous. This
is a free country and every man
has a right to oppose Senator
Jones if he wants to. But Sena-
tor Jones is a big man, he occu-
pies a dignified position, and the
carnpNisn against him ought to
be pitched on higher ground than
that which is usually adopted by
crossroads politicians. Those
who oppose Senator Jones are
certainly hard pressed for cam
paign thunder when they refer to
that gentleman as big-headed'
conceited, diffident, above' his
friends, out of touch with his
people. Senator Jones stands to-
day the biggest maa in the whole
democratic party commands
greater respect and wields more
influence than Bryan. He is the
chosen leader, not only of his
party in the Senate, but of his
party in the active management
of affairs. He has attained a po-
sition as a statesman which no
man in Arkansas-we care not
how able he may be-could COM
mand in years. What has Sena-
tor Jones done, anyway, that the
people are called upon to destroy
him? OF course, opinions differ,
but to our mind it would be a
fearful Dlunder. a RIDICULOUS mis-
take, for the people of Arkansas
to retire Senator Jones at this
time-repudiate a man who has
brought more honor and distinc-
ton upon our State than anyone
who has ever represented US in
national councils, with the possi-
bic exception Of General Garland,
and in some respects Senator
Jones has attained to greater
heights than that distinguished
gentleman ever did.-Clarendon

HOW M EN- DIE.

DR.. Andrews of Philadelphia,
who has seen two thousand
deaths says: Il have found that
persons of clean life of honorable,
upright, religious charcter, not
only do not display an inditfer'
ence to the approach OF death as
those of grosser life do, but well
come it as relief from care and
toll. There is something about
the approach Of death that recon
Giles men to it. The senses are
dulled, the perceptive faculties
are blunted and the end comes
quitely, painlessly, like a gentle
sleep. In the condition. mean
on the approach of death-those
who retain their faulties to any
degree become more or less phil
osophers. They know that death
is inevitable, that it is only a
question of hours, and they ac-
cept the verdict without any dem
onstration and in a philosophical
way. in all my experience | have
never found case in which a
dying man or woman complained
against the inevitable, attempted
to fight its approach or even
feared it. 1t is only in good
health that we fear death. When
we become i'll, when we have
sustained some injury of a very
serious nature, the fear of death
seems to disappear"

BASEBALL LANGUAGE.

A neater article of the Nation
al had never been put up on the
home grounds, and when the Wis
itors picked up the stick in the
final with the tally standing 1-3,
everybody, from the Oldest fan
to the younger paper seller, was
standing on his seat and yelling
to the local slab artist to serve
up his choicest assortment OF
round house benders, and keep
whatever guy was handling the
ash pivoting at delusions. The
twirler was up to his business,
and laid 'em over 50 fast that the
receiving end Of the battery, who
wears the bird cage and liver
pad, looked as if he were she'll
ing peas. The first two victims
only tore rents in the atmos-
phere, and the third guy con-
nj Jed and laid off flaming
gf sser which would have made
a projectile from d 13-inch gun
look like a bean bag tossed from
one baby to another. The man
on the difficult corner was right
there, though, and tagged the
horse hide pill with his sinister
talon, assisting it over to the ini-
tial hassock in such short order
that some one yelled derisively:
"That fellow runs like an Orange
street automobile" The home
aggregation came to the bat.
Everyone was confident that
they were going to pound the
sphere around the lot, but the
opposing team ran in a new guy
with a slow south swing, and be-
fore they were onto the fact that
they were not putting the willow
onto the yarn as they had ex-
pected there were two men down
and two strikes on the next guy.
But oh, Phoebe! on the next de-
livery he became the father of a
bouncing swat which landed in
the last row of potatoes in the
outer garden which enabled him
to pass down three buttons and
scratch the rubber. DID the
crowd 60 wild? Say, did you
ever see a game of ball?-Yale
