In Their Natures.
I'm from the country" he said,
addressing nobody in particular and
apropos OF nothing. "and l want to
tell you people that we are only
lot Of rocks. Did you ever watch n
colony of rocks build their nests in
the spring?"
Everybody looked reflectively away.
We'll. I'll tell you. First n rook
picks up stick and puts IL in his
nest, then goes away after another
one. When he's gone another rook
files to his nest and steals the stick.
When he gets back he puts down
the second stick. for still another
rook to steal. and starts after tho
first stick. He doesn't find it. and
when he gets back to his nest he
finds the second stick gone. and he
starts after that. scolding and swear

BY this time the other thieves have
been robbed. too. and II only takes
about three sticks to 70 around the
community and get the whole blessed
colony pow-wowing. Now. amt that

WON FAVOR BY HIS GRIT.
Good Story Told Of United States
Naval Officer

tribute was paid recently to the
late Capt. w. W. Reisinger. U. s. N.
at the Grand hotel Capt. Reislnger
as an officer, respect as man and
cherish as a friend. said F. C. Ches-
wick of Washington. The delayed
news of his death at Panama, which
came to us n week or so ago, was \
great shock to his many friends in
Washington. Annapolis. Pensacola and
elsewhere. remember an anecdote
OF the man which brings out the stun
there was in him. He was a little
man-hardly over the limit to get into
Annapolis, ! should say-but he al
to the dot, and he always or
dered everything to be kept right
up to the mark. About ten years
ago. more or less, he was executive
officer of the receiving ship Dale. at
the Washington Navy Yard. and used
to keep the new men pretty hard at
work shining up brass and the like.
Some of them. especially the big fell
lows, didn't oyermuch relish the novel
sensation of being bossed around by
such little chap as they put 1t. and
used to pass around remarks about
how easy they could DO him up some
time on duty. He overheard some of
those remarks and one day when he
was on duty he appeared among the
men. took off his coat and asked for
volunteers in the task of doing him
up. He was "a football man at An
napolis. and fully able to take care
OF himself anyway. But the men re-
spected his grit without trial, and
obeyed him gladly after that"-New

Now, if you can devise some plan to
better the condition of these laboring
people and their wives and barefooted
children you will benefit more people
and do our country greater service
than by trying to further enrich the
corporations that own the lumber
plants, / am merely making this as a
suggestion. See Jeff and talk 1t over
with him. | am sure he is prolific
enough to suggest some remedy, and If
he can convince the people that he is in
earnest about wanting to do something
to better the condition of these mill en-
ployes it will do good,
wish you had talked with me before
you attacked Jones for his position on
the Wilson bill. | find the same fault
with you in this connection as did
with Jones for not consulting me before
jumping on the claim Of the Hudson
bank. If Jones had come to me could
have told him all about that claim, but
he would not come to the attorney for
the bank to get his information but re-
lied upon the report of the senate COM
mittee that investigated the claim and
on information obtained from such fell
lows rs ex-Auditor Clay Sloan, ex-Gov.
Fishback and Senators Sengel and
Norwood.
Trusting that we may some day get
general assembly that will rely upon
what we tell them about our claim and
pay II, am, as ever,
Your Friend.

Gov. DAVIS has filed twelve appoint

are thirty-eight meetings yet to be held.
Meantime the Hon, Charles jacobson,
private secretary, holds down the exec

SENTIMENT In favor Of y pardoning

Wilson tariff bill passed, and that you
have gone so far as to say that the
people of Arkansas rejoiced when the
Wilson bill was repealed and the Re-
publican measure, the Dingley bill was
enacted. You step on my toes when
you say this, because | worked hard for
the Wilson bill and almost made the
people in my congressional district be-
lieve that but for my forts congress
would never have posed that bill.
When / was the nominee for congress
the opposition made the same fight
against me that you are now making
against Jones,
When Friedheim opposed me for con-
gress he took the same position in re-
gard to this measure as you do. Your
proposition that a tariff should have
been put upon lumber sounds much like
the speeches that that Republican made !
against me, as II You had memorized
his speeches. Your position on the !
Wilson bill will not do you any good
in this section of the state, because
have discussed the measure so much In |
my campaigns that the people down
here know that 1t WAS good measure f,
and thoroughly Democratic, or as much |
so rs it was possible to get under the
circumstances. | remember some
speeches | made In defense Of the vii
son bill, and especially did defend the
measure for putting lumber on the free

were u number of congressman who

Should Write Another
Letter.

Letter.
From the Mena Democrat
To be consistent the Hon. Thos G..
McRae should write ex-Gov. Clarke a
personal letter aud follow his former
custom and send that letter to Senator
Jones. The letter should read some
thing like this:
PRESCOTT, Ark.
Hon. JAMES P. CLARKE,
Little Rock, Ark.
My Dear Sir and Friend.-A the be-
ginning of the campaign between your
self and Senator Jones for the United
States senate, Senator Jones severely
criticised you for trying to make the
state Of Arkansas pay $50, 900 for bonds
that you, a governor, burned Jones
did not mention me in connection with
the Hudson bank claim. He censured
you especially because your connection
with the state affairs Of Arkansas for
years placed You in position where
you should have known and where your
duties required You to know exactly the
status of the states bonded indebted
ness and did not understand why you
burned the bonds and reported in your
message TO the general assembly that
everything was regular and then after
wards undertook, for fee, to make
the state pay this debt.
Jones seemed to think that rs you
had been president of the state senate,
encouragement and governor that you
were under some obligation to stand by
the people in what You did while you
were their chosen agent and official.
Senator Jones very kindly wrote me n
prsona letter explaining why he left me
out OF his argument IN connection with
the bank claim. Jones and had been
friends u long time, He previously
lived IN my congressional district and
he and his friends had assisted me TO 20
to congress for fourteen years. OF
course, | was under many obligations
to him and knew did wrong when !
sent my answer to his letter to You that
you might read II publicly before Jones
knew that had ever received the letter,
but | WAS mad. Jones knew or ought
to have known that his speeches over
the state would so thoroughly inform
the people about this claim Of ours that
IL would destroy all hope and prospect
Of ever getting the general assembly to
pay IL. 1t Is true he had not censured
me- but that WAS not the thing he was
hurting our claim, 80 | sent you that
letter,
