csnnty at the courthouse here ye5fer-
day and Ias5 njsh1 Tie discussion
was opened by judge Wood, Who spoke
for an hour and halt ana he was fol-
lowed by Governor Davis, who spoke
for about the same length Of time,
Owing to the fact thar Judge Wood and
Mr.. Nandeventer did not arrive here
until about , ; the time was SO short
that Mr. Nandeventer did not address
the people until Z o'clock, while the
other candidates spoke in the after
noon.
Judge WocI made about the same
speech as that at Benton. He al
tackled the pardon record OF Governor
Davis and exhibited the action Of the
governor in the matter OF the pardon

the deed to certain lots owned by John

livering the pardon. He also referred
to the pardon OF the negro Pomp brown
Of Conway county. He also referred
to other pardons, which have been fully
aired heretofore in the discussion He
defended his course as justice of the
supreme court and the other members
Of that tribunal He was accorded a
splendid hearing and was heartily ap-
pauded by the AUDIENCE, many Of

of his remarks

fense Of his administration and an ap-
peal to the voters to vindicate him by
re-electing him governor He made
his usual reference to the action of the
supreme court in deciding the antitrust
cases. He also charged Judge Wood
with being engaged in lobbying for
the defeat of the King BILL which was
pending before the last legislature,
and Of rendering opinions on cases
which had never been tried in the low

before the supreme court. He charged
Judge Wood with being a perpetual Of

frequently greeted with cheers
Mr.. Vandeventer spoke to a large
audience last night and made a speech
on a high plane He did not deal in
personalities. While he criticised the
official acts of Governor Davis, he did

The Weak-kneed Sheriff.

From the Lewiston Journal.
 He is one of the most pitiable ob- jects on the landscape-the official sworn to do his duty and lodging it under pretext and excuse Wherever he is on exhibition in Maine or out of it he is the scapegoat of one element and the scorn of the other. It is a simple thing to do-to live up to the honest intent of an office. Some of our contemporaries in other states are pleased to consider that Maine has a monopoly of these gentlemen. Not so; for every here and there in every com monwealth are recreant. duty-dodging, side-stepping, money-grafting officials content to round up their backs to public scorn for season and take their pay in cash. Maine rather has the advantage of some of these statSs, for she certainly does offer the ex- ample of a number of sheriffs fear lessly doing their duty. When 1t comes to the farcical element of the liquor laws there arc several laughs on the license system, even as prac- ticed in Boston.

 "Birds have the same diseases as hu- man beings" said Miss Pope; "pneumo- mia, bronchitis cholera, vertigo. paraly- sis and often debility from lack of dry warmth and proper food, Enlargement of the heart Is another disease In an autopsy of rare bird I found the heart twice the size of the gizzard In health the two organs are about equal
 "I try to please, giving birds homoeo- pathic or allopathic treatment, as desir- ed. Weak birds need iron, not rusty nails in a glass of water but red Jersey gravel It is best to have enough sul- phur to counteract the constipating iron in the gravel. No hanging of house birds out of doors, especially if cold or damp They weaken and die as a result. Damp perches cause rheumatism Bathing In rose water cures sore feet"
 It's Third Stroke
 Miss Pope told of a lark. brought her by a lady fer treatment, with it's third stroke of paralysis. It had no legs but 1t could fly and see. Human eyes moist ened when the little songster attempted it's far away song-the lark's song of the skies With no legs or feet to stand on, 1t flew to it's mistress and nestled itself asleep in the folds of her dress. Quite different bird was the 5000 Mexican par rot sent to board by family of wealth. Charlie was its name. It knew more than a boy fresh from high school It said Good morning to every member of the family and played peek-a-boo un- til breakfast. Then 1t called each child by name, crying 'Its time for school. Get your hat, and look out for the trolley. Don't get hurt" and so on. repeating all the morning conversation of the family.
 In the evening. when the lights were turned on. tho parrot called to the chill dren. "Get your books and study your lessons" The parrot could spell words of three syllables such as a good girl "A bad boy" A ring at the door was answered by the parrot. Come in" sometimes shrilly. sometimes with the croak of a raven. The bird was taught to say things over the telephone. It al- ways recognized its mistress voice on the wire. When she called, Hello, Charlie, how are you?" the parrot eroaked back. Hello, mamma. its time to go to bed"
 Tn answer to questions about canaries, Miss Pope says that from 10000 to 175,- Oo0 canaries are imported annually.

Did DuMaurier Dislike Americans2

The death of the artist Whistler has recalled Du Maurier's caricature of him in Trilby, when that novel was running in Harper's Magazine in 1893: and has given rise to rumor from English sources that Du Maurier did not like Americans If Du Maurier did not like Americans. why. then. when he published his first book did he go to an American publisher, MT. James Osgood, who was then established in London as agent for Harper & Brothers, and was at that time the only American publisher there? It is well known that Du Mauriers relations with the Harpers were most agreeable, and 1t is the impression of other Ameri- can friends of his that he was fond of Americans. He himself was born in Paris. and was the descendant of French emigres who had left France for England at the outbreak of the revolution. He was baptized George Louis Palmella Busson

The Attainment of Perfection.


 Now, my friends if we wonder at the seemingly perfect adjustment of the mundane clements, can we not the more marvel at the perfect adjustment of the redeemed body with its heavenly sur roundings? Shall we not rejoice over the thought that all our faculties shall be enlarged and developed and yet keep on enlargng and developing and never grow tired? We have read that for over fifty years John Wesley preached on an average sixteens sermons per week. or nearly three sermons per day. How wig orous must have been the constitution that could perform that task! But in heaven we shall all have vigorous consti- tutions.
 Oh, the rapture of that better land in which the services we render will never produce weariness nor the infinite sub Jects that will engage our attention ever cause satiety! Our hands grow weary, even though they may be busy in well doing But in that beautiful land" we shall never be weary of well doing. Then all our faculties shall not only have the

No Need of Rest in Heaven.

Perfect adjustment of the resurrected body to it's celestial surroundings proves there Is to be no fight for an immor- tai existence. Why does the physical body grow tired? Because 1t Is not in perfect accord with its physical sur roundings. In order to make the heart pump l must breathe. Yet every time I inhale the air that oxygen burns up part of my physical being, which must be re- placed by food and physical nourish- ment. Why do the great clouds of smoke ascend from the tunnels of the locomo- tives and the chimneys of the factories? Because those clouds form component parts of wasted energies. Imperfect con sumption of fuel implies that the coal must be continually showed into the fur naces or else the machinery will stop. But in that heavenly land there shall be no need of sleep, because the redeemed body, perfectly adjusted to its celestial surroundings. will never know fatigue. There shall be no need of physicians, because pain. which is the warning sig nal of infirmity, shall never have any of our joints in its twist. There shall be no need of recreation, because then all things shall be, once for all, perfectly created.
 We marvel at the perfect adjustment in the natural world. We wonder at the vast resources of power which can swing the stars In their courses and make whirlng cancellations marshal themselves upon the heavenly plains and yet have no confusion in passing re- views Once in a while we are horror struck when some of the clements seem to balk and the lightnings, as fractious colts, kick over the traces and start to smash things. We stand aghast when the dark garments of a tornado sweep past LIS, or two storm clouds collide and the heavens are ablaze with electricity and the ear is startled with the crashing of the thunder and the freshets come and the bridges are swept away. But all the time when these elements are at war we think of the greater power which holds the moon and the sun off from the earth at arms length. We. think of the greater power of the laws of evaporation, which with golden pull leys lifted those water into the clouds. We think of the law of cohesion or of specific gravity, which holds this old earth together in compact sphere We think of the power inherent In vegeta- ble and animal life of sucking up the waters which flow by their sides. We marvel at the great adjustment of na- ture-marvel not only because 1t works like the wheels of a perfect automaton, but because it seems to work without friction.
 The Attainment of Perfection.
 Now, my friends, if we wonder at the seemingly perfect adjustment of the mundane elements. can we not the more marvel at the perfect adjustment of the redeemed body with its heavenly sur

From the Kansas City Star.
 TO doctor birds, cure their diseases mend their broken legs, give them new feathers. make them fat and set them s,nging for joy again Is wonderful to those who have seen 1t done
 Miss Virginia Pope Is bird doctor ana proprietor of the bird hotel in New York Tc treat invalid sonsters more success fully she has established bird santa rum, where prize canaries, 5000 parrots and all kinds of pet birds are doctored' boarded and cared for. In case of deatn if desired. birds are .nterred in a private cemetery.
 Just how Miss Pope came Into the pro- fession is interesting From childhood she had studied birds, but never dreamed of making herself bird doctnr. One day, walking through the bird depart ment of a big store in Boston, she was shocked at the foul condition of lot of imported canarles. Their cages were stacked up like cordwood. filled with fam cy birds, 100 in each cage, from Germany She got permission from the manager to investigate. She found the birds over 
 feeding or cleanliness.
 Miss Pope then began a movement that revolutlonzed the cruel features of bird importation Result: Rigid rules, strictly enforced, for proper treatment of the hundreds of thousands of birds annu- ally shipped to this country. All this took labor and time and before Miss Pope had finished her reforms she found herself deep in the work-not only a bird nhilauthronisf but bird doctor, for she had saved hundreds of half famished and crippled birds, rescued from stifiing cages in overcrowded bird marts.
 The Bird Hotel.
 At last she had found a mission and a calling, and she established a bird hos pital and hotel combined. Her place at 1894 Broadway, at Sixty-fifth street, Is a veritable concert hall of songsters and talking birds, sent for summer boarding and repairs
 Miss Pope is a good housekeeper. Her establishment, sweet and clean, Is flooded with sunlight. It is like woodland for est with the birds singing for joy. Some are unable to sing for they are sick, be- ing diagnosed, their temperatures taken and remedies given. Broken legs are set and bandaged sometimes in splints. sometimes fin court plaster. A touch of gum arabic applied with brush mends many q leg, some no larger than knit ting needle.
 If canary or an oriole arrives with gripes and chills, it's little stomach Is dosed with olive oil and the bird put to sleep on a hot water bottle. When con valescent. birds are sometimes laid in long swinging bandages. to swing like boughs of a willow tree. Sick parrots, big and saucy, have their nails clipped

RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism does not come and go with winter time always; n fact suffer more during the Spring and Summer than at any other season When the blood Is charged with Uric Acid, A1kai and other irritating poisons, then the system Is in the right condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.

THE following little item, sent
out from Nashville Tuesday to the
daily papers of the state, will oc-
casion very little surprise, for it
has been talked all over West Ten
nessee during the past few weeks
that Tennessee's new Governor
was anything but tickled at the
capers of the temperance cyclone
that is just beginning to buzz in
the state. The citizens of Union
City sent a petition to Nashville
bearing the signatures OF at least
four fifths of the legal voters OF
the town, and if this is not enough
expression to convince him as to
the wishes of our people, we do
not know just what it would re-
quire. The Governor can-as did
his father back in the sixties
think as he pleases, but when ne
attaches unto the temperance bills
now in the Senate his veto, in our
humble opinion he will hear it
thunder. Politically speaking, we
believe the Governor is about to
sew himself up in sack. We
shall see what we shall see. The
item from Nashville is as follows:
There have been several publica-
tions recently as to Gov. Frazier's
attitude towards bills abolishing town
charters where the intention is to Sc
cure the advantages of the Adams
law. Gov. Frazier signed the bill
abolishing the charter of Pulaski,
where an agreement had been reached
by the saloon and temperance people,
and of course can find no objection toll
such measure. While it could, of
course, not be stated what he would
do with bill abolishing charter
where there has been no agreement or
expression of opinion by the voters, it
is understood that he thinks it Dem
ocratic and at the same time the best
policy to leave the question to an cleo
tion by the qualified voters where
there has been no preliminary agree
ment or expression.
