Unfortunate Slip.

DR.. Madison G. Peters tells of
a ludicrous remark made by a
young man just about ready to
graduate into the ministry. The
youthful divine was called upon
to address TIE inmates of a peni-
Tertiary on an occasion when the
prisoners were assembled in the
chapel for prayers.
When he looked down from his
pulpit at the depraved and des-
perate- looking characters in the
congregation the young parson
experienced quite turn. Surely
he would find it difficult to say
anything that would impress such
an audience. He entirely forgot,
in that instant, all the fine senti-
ments he had prepared. He
cleared his throat once-then

Would He Bolt!

+ In New York a few days ago
William j. Bryan was asked this
direct question, which he refused
to answer:
SIN the event that the CON
sentative Democrats are stronger
than you and your friends in the
Democratic national convention
in st. Louis in July, and success
fully oppose the reaffirmation of
the Kansas City platform Of 1900,
will you and your supporters fall
in line for the platform that may
be named, or will you bolt?"
The Democratic candidate of
1896 and 1900 answered bluntly /:
"No man who supported the
regular Democratic ticket in 1896
and 1900 would ask such a ques-
ton. 1t is none of the business
of those who bolted the ticket in
those campaigns"
" Do you intend 70 force the
free silver issue on the st. Louis
convention this year?"
mo, sir. Force does not ex-
press it. The word can better
express the insolent and impudent
attempt of certain newspapers to
dictate to the Democratic party
after they have used all their in
fluence to assist the Republican
part! to fasten itself upon the
country"
Continuing, the Nebraskan
said;
"In my opinion, the Kansas
City platform will be reaffirmed,
as l believe it should be-" Mr..
Bryan did not commit himself as
to what the prospects were of all
the state conventions indorsing
the Kansas City platform.

Neeroes In a Democratic Primary.

When Gustave Jones intro
duced a resolution at the meeting
Of the Democratic central COM
mittee Of Jackson county at New
port on Saturday providing that
a white primary be held on Mach
26, John H. Keel, who held a
proxy, moved to amend by strik-
ing out the word "white." This
motion of KeePs to allow negroes
to participate in a Democratic
primary prevailed by vote of 6
to5
This incident will attract at
tention since Gov, Davis attitude
toward the negro is so well known,
since he has attacked Judge Wood
for appointing one negro jury
commissioner in three when he
was a circuit judge seventeen
years ago, and since John H.,
Keel is one Of Gov. Davis right
bowers and trusted lieutenants.-

man. Governor Davis reference
to the immortality of men, in a
speech at Ozark, his subsequent
denial OF the incident and his
treatment of Judge Wood at Hope
are factors which served to turn
Major Newman toward Judge
Wood.
When Davis denied the state
ment accredited to him al Ozark,
and Editor Claude C. Colburn Of
the Ozark Democrat insisted Davis
had made the remark, the Com
mercial undertook to sustain Col
burns paper. Newman and Col
burn are warm personal friends,
were comrades in boyhood and
throughout the war, and the po-
sition in which Colburn was
placed was the strongest factor
in turning Major Newman.

A correspondent to last weeks
Batesville Guard said:
The water in the cave is lower
than it has been for years. YOU
can now go by boat back through
the tunnel which runs southwest
Just as far as, well, till your
nerves fail. This tunnel is Wv
only outlet to this vast BODY "
water, and can only be traverssu
through during extremely lV'
water. The water in the lake INV
sounds just 81 feet and IS 's y,
clear. You can easily see rocA'
on the bottom. The water "
perfectly still in the lake as -
boat unanchored will not floa' OA'
Back some 100 yards in the wv

Bob lurdette 40 Ny Sol."

So you are not going to church
this morning my son?
"Ah, yes; l see. The music is
not good. That's what you go
to church for, to hear the music
we demand.
"And there the pews are not
comfortable" That's too bad
the Sabbath is a day of rest, and
we go to church for rapose. The
less We do through the week the
more rest we clamor for on the
Sabbath.
1.-The church is so far away, it
is too far to walk, and l detest
riding in a street car, and they
are always crowded on the Sab
BATH" This is, indeed distress
ing. Sometimes when | think
how much further away Heaven
is than the church, and that there
are no conveyances on the road
of any description, wonder how
some of US are going to get there.
"And the sermon is so long al
ways" All these things are in
deed to be regretted. | would
regret them more sincerely, my
boy, did l not know that you will
often sqeeze into a stuffed street
car, with a hundred other men,
breathing an incense Of whiskey,
beer and tobacco, hang to a strap
by your eye:ids for two miles,
and then pay fifteen cents for the
privilege of sitting on a rough
plank in the hot sun for two hours
longer, while in the intervals OF
the game a scratch band will
blow discordant thunder out of a
dozen misft horns right into your
ears, and come home to talk the
rest of the family into a state of
aural paralysis about the "dan-
diest game you ever saw played
on that ground"
All, my boy, you see what
staying away from church does.
1t develops a habit of lying.
There isn't one man in a hundred
who could 60 to the witness stand
and give, under oath, the same
reason for not going to church
that he gives to his family Sun
day morning. My son, it you
don't think you ought to go, you
wouldn't make any excuse for
not going. No man apologies
for doing right.

neither knew what to say net. Suddenly
one had an inspiration. She gggled Il
minute and then said: Say, my husband
asked me the other day what your first
name was, aud to save my soul I couldn t
tell him. What is it?"
Then it was the other womans turn TO
