Doubtless, too, other members of the up

similar Pierian springs. Nothing could be

over this list of publications. There is a
popular disposition TO regard the Senate
as Machiavelian body, more or less given
TO intrigue, more or less Influenced by sin

must be instantly banished by a glance at
Senator Clark's list Of periodicals.

LITERATURE FOR STATESMEN.
Thoughts Suggested by the Report of
Volumes Purchased For Senator'S.

Kansas City Star.
The announcement of the publications
which the government furnishes certain
senators at their request shows the sena-
torial character in its most delightful and
alluring aspect. Senator c. d. Clark, of
Wyoming, was provided with the Ladies'
Home Journal. the Youths Companion
St. Nicholas and the Delineator. Through
some oversight Chatterbox, the Well
spring and the Missionary Herald were
omitted The "Meditations OF Marcus
Aurelius' was the choice of the philosoph-
zeal Mr.. Daniel. of Virginia, while Mr. j.
h. Jones sOlaced himself for his defeat

The government furnishes this utera ture
fer the purpose OF informing It's faithful
servants on public affairs. Hence IL may
be assumed that the senator's mentioned
have derived much or their inspiration
from tha puhlhcafiQna>Xhich they selected.

A Tragic Death.

rel hunting with some friends in
the Horns Greek section. His
sudden demise was great shock
to mis- friends, who VIXEN they
last beheld him looked to be GER
tain of an earthly sojourn OF
mans allotment, three score and
ten years. Mr.. Bailey was one OF
the leading and most prominent
citizens of the southwestern por-
ton of our county. He married
Miss Sallie Tillman, daughter
of the lamented George D. Till
man, who preceded him to The
other shore several years ago.

who ara the only surviving mem

aud for the world, have found
nothing bnt disappointment, while
this splendid Christian girl has
made the heroic sacrifice that she

that in this giving all, sbe has
received all abundant reward.
