The Arkansas Gazette says 1t hopes that, for the sake of their peace of mind, certain distinguish cd gentlemen are not reading the Arkansas weekly papers just now. The Journal must add that if cer- tain distinguished gentlemen" want to know anything about what the public thinks of their disgust ing and ungentlemanly conduct they can only do so by reading the weekly papers. At least they will never see or hear of the Gazette making any unfayorable comment on their public conduct, no matter what they do. The Gazette's editorial opinions on any subject are only made to fill space or to fatter some distinguished gentle man. whose favor it desires to gain. If man wants the honest opinion of the press in Arkansas he must necessarily read the coun- try papers. Newspapers that will favor the squandering of $15, 900 or 5000 of the peoples money, like the Gazette and Democrat did in fighting for the passage of the newspaper and stamp bill in the legislature, would cover up any kind of rascality for few paltry dollars.

how the little fellow felt when he first

edge. He had never had an opportunity
to play the little games which most of
us knew in the days Of our childhood
He had never gone through any of the
things which made young life sweet to
all of us fellows, and while not knowing
but there may be compensating adj
vantages in life Of this sort, I have

Paris is greatly interested in Uncle
Sans proposal to buy property in one
of it's dingiest, most crowded quarters
and pull down the rows Of small frame
shops which occupy it and convert it into
a small park in memory of John Paul
Jones, the heroic first commodore of the
Revolutionary navy. Congress, during
the present session, is to be asked to APP
propriate $150,OOO for this purpose, ana
the park il it ever becomes an accom-
plished fact, will be a godsend to that
part of Paris, which sadly needs breath
ing space.
way. In the first place. nobody knows
just where John Paul Jones was buried.
1t is supposed to have been down in La
tllette, where a canal runs through the
city, and near the military hospital,
some of whose buildings were built from
the material of earlier buildings Of Louis
N1V.'s time. In this neigh borhood there
was, before 1893, an old Protestant,
hence ''unconsecrated' cemetery But
on the land which it once occupied are
number of cheap little buildings whose
ground floors are occupied by groceries,
small tobacco and wine shops, etc. Ac-
cording to authorities Jones was buried
u,
which would bring the. spot under
grocery shop near the corner of Rue
Grange aux Bellies and Rue des Elk
cluses. This shop has no cellar. but far
over near the side wall, according to
those VINO have studied the matter, is the
last resting place of John Paul Jones.
The $4,000 appropriation is for the
purpose of buying several of the houses
in the neighborhood and searching under
them for bis body. If it is not found
and it is more than likely that it will
have completely modered away, coffin

posed TO turn the grounds into park
IN which monument to him will be
erected. But it will take many years to

the consent of the French government.

Paris will be pe"essary. and it will take
time to break through the tangle of red
tape that will be in TIL eway.-Brooklyn

than six months ago when Young

newspapers reviewed with much
space the horrible crimes which
the James and Younger boys COM
mltted in Missouri and elsewhere,
telling how innocent individuals
were shot down simply to satisfy
the thirst of these outlaws for hu.
man blood, and less than five
months ago a most daring bank
robbery was committed in this
state and a detective killed by
young men who had acquired a de.
sire for such performances by
reading the "Life of the James
Boys" How many boys to day

Echoes From the u. B. F. Grand
Session.

The people of Macon cared for

The next session of the Grand
Lodge and Temple will be held in
Sedalia.
The report of the Grand Secre-
tary was one of the completest we
ever listened too.
The Professional World is the
only paper that gave the proceed
ings in full. The Palladium man
stood around with a few copies
under his arm, which contained a
few saloon ads. and as usual a
quarter page cut of the editor,
button-holing everybody for $500
for subscription and saying that
he did not want his paper to be
the organ of the order and at the
same time had the veteran Capt.
Tandy and the great mogul of a
Past Grand Master who was rolled
out of Office solely for the good of
the order, to try to attempt to
force the Palladium on the Lodge
as its official organ, after it has
spent the entire year trying to
create a dissatisfaction among the
members with present officers.
This proved altogether in vain,
however.
Technicalities are never used
only when we are in close places.
The word shortage" which was
used in the report of the present
Board of Management, in review
ing the work of the past admins
tration, proved to be stinger to
at least one member of the past
administration and he did not hesi-
tate to make it known aud pleaded
that the word Shortage" was ga
dangerous word" to use. Any
other word might be substituted
for it; that no plea was made for
thorough investigation. To pour
oil on the troubled waters the word
