wRITiNeTHE SERMON.

Friday II tho Minister's Day For
Performing This Task.
Probably few of the good people who
listen with rapt attention to the SER
mon which Is preached to them each
Sunday, says the Denver Post, know
that for nearly 300 years Friday has
been the time honored day for the pas.
tor to go into his study, write the SER
mon which Is to furnish food for
thought" to the congregation on the
following Sunday. In speaking Of this
custom clergyman says:
when Christianity was first promul-
gated all preaching was done extern
poraneously. Such a thing as prepar-
ing a sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
various subjects, then added few
words Of good advice to their listeners
This practice is still continued in the
Roman Catholic church Of the present
day. and think that very limited
number Of the priests ever write q ser
mon. Not all ministers, however, ad-
here to this rule by any means. When
Henry Ward Beecher was asked on
what day he prepared his sermon, he
replied, ON Sunday morning, Of
course
swell, Mr.. Beecher, don't you think
that IL a rather dilatory habit for you
to get into? asked another.
"'Oh, no. not at ALL replied Mr..
Beecher in his quick way. You see, I
look at sermon like some do on pan
cake. They can be served hot or cold,
and like mine hot; that's all.'s

LAFAYETTE IN AMERICA.
Incidenta of the Noble Frenchman's
Visit Ina 1924.

bnCh0Gmtb VI EO~sC
Visit In 1924.
Lafayette's arrival In America was
the signal for one prolonged. brilliant
Fourth of July celebration. The pupils
of the institutions throughout the coun.
try were prominent participants IN the
festivities in his honor
"A little Maryland girl who, after
much drilling, had mastered Il poem
with which to greet him, beginning
Welcome. welcome, Lafayette,
Thee We never can forget,
was not permitted to get beyond the
second line of her recitation, the baby
lips being sealed at this point by an
ELUSIVE kiss from the enthusiastic
Frenchman.
OF the complaisance which charac-
terized him during his progress through
the states an old lady, now resident
Of Baltimore, who Joined in singing
odes to him in Norfolk. Va, gives the
following illustrations:
Locks of hair instead Of autographs
were then fashionable as souvenirs,
and as we passed in review before him
a little girl at my side ventured timidly
to say, General Lafayette, will you
please give me a piece Of your hair!
In an instant the red wig was in his
hand, but the terrified suppliant, ia
whom he would have presented it,
thankful to escape with her own scalp
had disappeared in the crowd"
The hero's personal appearance was
never, even in his palmiest days, his
strongest point, and with the added
pounds which had come with years, the
limp from the wound received during
the battle Of the Brandywine and
above all, the disiguring red wig, be
was scarcely a model Of manly beauty

The Worlds Largest Crab.

How would you like to have crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic Japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world
The specimen Is type Of the spider
crab. which inhabits the waters Of the
group of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
Of half bushel measure while its
two great arms or "feelers" could cas-
lily encircle the figure of man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and if strung into one line they
would reach to the top of four story
apartment building. One Of the ex-
traordinary pecuiarities Of this crab
is the faculty Of assuming a disguise
by affixing pieces Of seaweed and
sponges to the body.

SAYS TT WOULD BE
 JUDICIAL MURDER.

Gov. Davis, in letter to Sheriff Pitcock of Crawford county, explains his position in the case of the negro, Malone, who pleaded guilty to the charge of rape and was sentenced to hang. The letter follows:
 Executive Chamber, Little Rock, Ar
 kansas, October 7.
 Hon. J. A. Pitcock, Van Buren, Ark. My Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of your favor of yesterday in regard to the nigger rapist recently sen fenced to be hung on plea of guilty by your circuit court. I do not intend to interfere with the execution of the law by the pardoning power or com mutation of sentence, but want the supreme court to pass on the question as to whether or not defendant may be sentenced to be hung on his plea of guilty, and in order for them to have time to pass on the question it may be necessary for me to hold up the sen tence temporarily until they can do so. In view of thefacts which you write me about mob violence, re- quest that you immediately upon re- ceipt of this letter, without any kind of publicity, lodge the prisoner in the penitentiary for safe keeping, so that this, very important legal question, may be settled without any danger of mob violence, which would be dis graceful both to you and the state. The negro can be hung legally by the case being reversed and a jury being called to assess the death penalty. To hang him otherwise, in my judgment, would be judicial murder, and all off cers taking part in it would be nor rally guilty of murder, hence l take this course, not to protect the nigger or show him any executive clemency, but simply to see that he is hung legally.
 Please let me hear from you at once if you will adopt this course to prevent mob violence. Yours very truly.
 Jeff Davis, Governor.

GOVERNORS POLITICAL
AMBITIONS


 Notwithstanding the denial of Gov. Davis that he would offer for third term, says the Commercial Appeal, the belief is becoming prevalent in political circles that it is his purpose to announce for another two years as governor, in order that he may keep before the public until such time as he shall actively enter upon his cam paign for the United States senate against Senator Berry. The latest circumstance to indicate this is the sudden announcement of Hon. J. ". Bourland of Ozark several days ago that he would be a candidate for att torney general.
 Since the last State convention it has been a matter of general com ment that MT. Bourland would be the administration candidate for govern or; in fact, in several interviews given out upon the subject here and at Fort Smith he had intimated that it was | his purpose to run for governor. As late as noon of the day on which he announced that he would run for att torney general he stated that it was too early to make an announcement; that he would like to be governor, but did not know whether the people wanted him or not. Then came the announcement that he had switched to the office from which Jeff Davis, James P. Clarke and Dan w. JGpes were elevated to the gubernatorial chair. The change of front came about after he had held consultation with Gov. Davis. This action is be- lieved to indicate a trade, and that Davis has promised Bourland his support for attorney general, while he runs for third term as governor
