NEW POSTALS AND STAMPS.
The Mckinley Card and Thirteen
 Cent Stamp the Latest.

New postals have been in use in some of the larger cities since the 1st of July.
 The Mckinley postal is said to be one of the handsomest ever issued by the department. The portrait of Me- Kinley, while satisfactory, is not all that could be desired. The eyebrows show too much shagginess and there is a turn to the lower lip which hints at troubled or somewhat sad ex- pression which was not shown in the original. This however is said by the bureau experts to be unavoidable under the process by which the postal plates are made, which is just the reverse of that of making. postage, stamps, the speciality of the bureau.
 Opposite the medallion containing the picture of Mckinley on the new cards, one containing the figure of an eagle with ontstretched wings and carrying in it's claws a bunch of arrows and branch of olive. Both pictures are said to be very fine and make the prettiest card ever pro- duced by the department.
 The new stamps which were to have been issued by the department about this time have net yet come I'out from the printers, ,sand there will be some further delay. According to the custom of the department the en- tire series are changed about every ten years, but in addition to the reg ular series, new stamp will be among the number this time, to be known as the 13-cent stamp. The object of putting this stamp out is to fill the demand for value cover ing postage rate on registered let ter mailed to foreign countries.
 The department has also decided that the portrait of a woman shall adorn one of the new series of stamps but just whose picture shall be used is still question. It is given out that she must have been a marriedFwoman, and in all probability the portr ait of Martha Washington will be selected for this honor.

A FISH STORY,
Which Has It's Origin at Arkansas City Story of Capture of
 Monster Gar

That the Mississippi contains other species of fish besides game, drum and the regulation sscat' was proven last Monday. For more than two weeks two monster finnies played hide and seek in the immediate neigh borhood of the .sIt,n moored below the warehouse, much to the annoy ance of it's occupant. Monday fore noon the two again appeared, and the Hoover brothers, Guy aad Charles fishermen anchored near concluded to bag, at least, one of them. Ac- cordingly an immense steel hook was baited and fastened to a three-eights line and cast overheard from the rear of their cabin boat, Guy retaining the line in his hand. In less than twenty minutes Guy's heels flew up, and but for his brother coming to his assist ance just in the nick of time, would have been jerked into the river. Now the 'splay" began in dead earnest. Guy, with both hands badly burnt by the quick passing rope through at the outset, still held his own. The gar
 one of the alligator specie was a monster in size and strength. Both men were pulled about, and when the fellow was brought to the surface near the boat to be dealt blow he would fairly turn himself and get uyav to tha and of tha Iiua fer a fight of half hour his strength failed. He was given two we'll directed blows with hatchet and pulled ashore. His length was seven feet and nine inches and weight 254 pounds. Arkansas City Journal.

A RATTLESNAKE BANQUET.


 Capt. A. L. Dabney the Calhoun county, Miss, civil engineer who is preparing to give banquet to his friends within the next few weeks at which rattlesnake on toast will be the principal delicacy, has just succeeded in capturing another monster rattler, and the success of the feast is now assured Capt. Dabney feels conf ., dent that he will be able to fatten the new acquisition, for the reptile is eat ing voraciously, whereas the pair of rattlers captured some time ago have refused to eat for more than two months.
 Captain Dabney's new snake is one of the largest ever captured i'll Mis- sissippi It measures nearly 8 feet in length, is nearly 20 inches in circum ference and carries twenty seven rattles. The snake made a desperate fight when captured, and on account of his hostile proclivities Captain Dabney has named him "Joe Bailey" The capture was effected by means of forked stick while Captain Dabney was on surveying trip, and having no box at hand in which to confine the reptile, he was securely strapped to long pole and carried home in triumph.

On account of the prospects of Hoxie being a railroad center in the future, some of the shrewd business men are taking in real estate bar gains two and three miles from town. l Some time ago there was a areport sent out from New York to the effect that the Pennsylvania railroad had decided not to allow any more kissing at it's stations. It was done without the authority of the road officials and has caused them much worry. They have seen fit to officially deny the report and denounce it as fake.

 J. S. Jenkins, architect and con tractor, of this city, is in receipt of a proposition for bid on a 15stall round house, concrete foundation, turn table pit and coal chutes to be built at Hoxie, Ark. This confirms the rumors that changes will be at Walnut Ridge or Hoxie and that Hoxie is the place where the improve ments will be made. It also settles the question as to the magnitude of the work to be done at that place. In- stead of being big improvements, it will be simply to accomodate the freight division which is now too long and will have little or no effect on the railroad interests at Poplar Bluff. The permanent improvements made here last year, including a new 22-stall brick roundhouse, and the latest inn proved turntables and coal chutes will not be cast aside but, from the information we have received, there is every indication that there will be some startling news along this line soon that will rebound to the benefit of Poplar Bluff Sentinel.

Candle Lighted Dining Tables

Candle lighted dining tables are more
popular than ever. Four candles are
needed to light the smallest table, and
four double branched candleSticks are
better liked. Besides silver and brass,
glass candlestickS in old English and
colonial designs are seer. Cut glass is
to he preferred. of course, but very
good limitations may be had. There is
one material which it is hard to under
stand ever came to be used for either
lamps or candleSticks, and that is
wrought iron. Possessing no powers of
reflection or refraction, the light of
even Il strong flame is diminished ut
least one-half and Il most depressing

works of art whether made OF silk and
trimmed with chiffon and beads or
fashioned Of paper and decorated with
water color designs. Glass shades,
cubes of opalescent material, jewel in
crustCd, are charming as are also the
parchment paper ones with old prints
in delicate pink and blue tints inserted

flame as the glare so near the eyes is

Endorses Senator elect Cor
man For President.

In an interview in the New
York Times last week, Gen. l.. V.
Baughman gave the following en-
d0rSement of Senator elect Arthur
p. German for Presidents:
arthur Pue German is the
logical candidate of the Demo.
cratic party for President of the
United States, and it is my theory
that the great business interests
of the country must have absolute
confidence in the nominee Of any
party before the nominee can
command the confidence and re
Spect Of the business people. BY
business people | mean the great
mass of the people who earn their
support from that which emanates
from the business interests of the
country.
"To be successful capital and
labor must go hand in hand to-
gether, and there is no man today
representing either of the TWO
great parties who can command
more earnest support from both
capital and labor than Arthur i.
German.
1T is essential, IN my judg-
ment. that "A conservative man in
the crisis of our national affairs
shall be elected as the representa-
tive OF both parties The Amer
lean people have too much at
state to intruSt their affairs to ali
erratic representative. Therefore,
the well balanced conservative
mind will Snch Ssfully command
the earnest support of both the
business and the great laboring
element of our people.
The gentleman whose name |
have mentioned in connection
with he high office will never de-
Scend to the tricks of the dema.
g"gue. The great mass of the
people do not respect such indi-
viduals. The prosperity Of the
business world means the prosper.
itS Of the men who toll, and,
therefore, the demagogue should
always be discounted by labor.
The conservative man is always
the best man for the general pub
lie to trust and depend upon"

New York were the Senator elect,

there they were i'll consultation

Idea For an EnvaIid's Room.

y very pretty idea of bringing sun
shine on dull days into an invalid's
room is to arrange the curtaining ill
such Il fashion as to produce the eff
feet of sunshine and brightness even
when the heavens are clouded. BY do
ing this your loved invalid's room
will not be a tidgety place, where the
eye is worried by endless patterns on
paper or walls. All will be restful and
harmonious. For the big window it is
best to have rose colored Indian silk
curtains just to the sill. They are to be
lined with ivory-if they can be said
to be lined when that part of them is
seen from the outside. This is done to
prevent the sun from fading the bril-
liant hue too soon and will add soft
warmth to the glorious translucent col
or of the rose, which will make sun
shine of itself on dull days.

ganizatlon bill which provides for

to have for its end the amendment
after it reaches the Senate of any

SO that it cannot seriously affect
the Morgan interests. Neither

QUEEN OF THE HOME.
Woman as the High Priestess of tn
Hearth.

Hearth.
Educate her as we may, but do not
take from her the highest attribute, her
greatest privilege, her sacred duty as
high priestess Of the hearth. In spite
of all exceptions, the mans share is to
make the daily bread and the womans
TO dispense it. She must be busy about
her household if it is in any true sense
to deserve the name of home. DO not
let us grow too ambitious, too foolishly
proud, to be called a ministering angel
in our own house.
The women who have solved the
problem of how to take full advantage
any of the Old have thrown Il fresh
splendor on the home. They have fitted
themselves TO enter into their hus-
bands interests, into their sons pur-
suits and go hand in hand with their
daughters along the new paths, with
just that gentle, restraining influence
which prevents the young feet from
running too far and too fast
They are women whose culture
breadth and sympathy have made and
left them entirely womanly, true
queens of home! There was lately dis.
inferred in the Roman Forum me-,
mortal tablet to a lady who during a
full lifetime had served as priestess in
the temple of Vesta, custodian of the
sacred hearth fire. a beautiful truth
underlay this old heather retreat, this
dedication of the best and purest of a
nations daughters, 'vestals," to keep
ever alight, ever burning clear, the
flame which symbolized the hearths
of Rome.
Let us have our "vestals," too-oul
beautiful daughters, who make home
beautiful to us, not clustered in any
temple or cast adrift in the rush of the
world, but ministering each at her own
inglenook, dedicated in a better and
higher sense to the unquenchable altar
fires of home.

COURAGE OR POLITICS ?

The Philadelphia Record says con.
corning the Presidents attitude on the
question ofappointing negroes to office:
1t is not clear Hhy Republican news
papers should assume that President
RooSevelt's appointment of a negro as
Collector of the Port of tharleston
5. c., is new and convincing evidence
of great courage and an instance in
which ''the man rises above the p Ii
tician.n If the President had never
chased the Spaniard to his fort or the
mountain lion to his lair, but had to
depend for his reputation on his
Charleston appointment, he could
hardly escape the suspicion Of back
boneless timidity 1t would have re
quired higher degree Of courage to
refuse to appoint negrous to office in
the South and to 'rtcoenizen negro
Republicans by appointing them to
office in the North That they have
to be recognized disappointment TO
office somewhere is ohvi IL to the pO-
litical neophyte If President Ro Sc
welt had the courage TO appoint col1r
men t. Office in the North, where their
votes on election day count for some
thing, and if he should refuse to put
into office the negro politician IN the
South, there would be an end to much
political scandal Then should there
be delegates from the South they would
represent something else than barter OF
votes for office and they would be re-
spected accordingly.
