Planted Nails in Garden.

When Capt. Cook first visited the Island of Tahiti, the natives were using nails made of wood, bone. and other equally hard substances. When they first saw iron nails they fancied them to be shoots of some very hard wood, and desfrous of securing such invaluable com modity, they planted them in their gar dens, in order to raise more.

FAY DAVIS.

Dramatists are apt to build their plays around some inanimate object. The writer of Elelodrama chooses a fire engine, q sawmill or a tank of N'real water The author of society -comedies chooses as q rule something aess sensational and more delicate. lHhls is the case with "Whitewash1ng Julia,.' which Fay Davis and mem asbers of Charles Frohman's Empire hheater company will present at Poli's hhis evening. Mir Jones has built his hainty comedy around puff box, and although the article itself does not ap- pear, and is only vaguely hinted at, it Is the means of causing charming young woman no end of trouble and 8durnishing her women friends a chance to display any amount of nal ice. snobbishness and hypocrisy. 14,s begins at a bazaar for charity and of fers m excellent opportunity for Julia s acquaintances to show their lack of that greatest of virtues The play has had successful run at the Garrick Fheater.

FAvORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide
 Popularity.

Established for nearly cen- tury and read regularly by more than 800, ,000 persons in the west and southwest, the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable dis tinction, "Favorite Home Pa per-"
 It is great because it has al- ways aimed to inform, instruct and entertain it's readers on all matters of public and home in- terest. In 1904 it will be espe- cially interesting and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for it:
 This is campaign year and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re- ports of the great national and state conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the election, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30 to December 1, 1904.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the farm visitor, a regular supplement of the paper, prepared especially for the farmer and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every field of activity, and through the un- surpassed news and special ser vice of the twice-a-week Repub- lie you will not be disappointed.
 In short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and household suggestions the Twice-a-Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies of the great West.
 If you want the Twice-a-Week Republic sent to your address, order it at once direct from the office at St. Louis, Mo-, or through your local newsdealer. It costs only $1 a year.

 JUROR SPEAKS.
Former Follower of Gov. Davis Gives Facts In Pomp Brown
 Pardon Case.
Editor Arkansas Democrat:

EdlJOf ArkanSaS Democrat.
 l was recently shown a clip ping from the Russellville Record, a newspaper published at the former home of Jeff Davis, stat ing that a friend of Davis who attended the speaking of the candidates for governor at Mor- rilton had said that the girl (Ar- kie McCulloch) who was alleged to have been assaulted by Pomp Brown, the negro, had a bad reputation and her father worse one. 1 live in a remote part of Conway county, some twenty miles from the scene of this un- happy affair, and do not know Arkie McCulloch personally, but do know that 1 was one of the jurors that tried Pomp Brown, and that the affidavit made by Arkie McCulloch and read the day of the speaking was substan- tially what she swore to in the trial, and that her reputation was not called into question in the trial, nor was it mentioned the day of the speaking. 1 was pres- ent and heard Judge Wallace's denial that the affidavit was the evidence before the court, when he was confronted by myself and other jurors, then and there, with the statement that her affi- davit was what she swore to on the stand.
 I am at loss to conceive how any man or set of men, to fur ther the ends of a candidate, could so shamefully call into question the character of any woman, without the slightest proof, and particularly this crushed and humiliated woman who was dragged into court and forced to face the world and de- tail the acts of this black fiend. All over the state l am advised that the henchmen of Davis are justifying this act in granting pardon on the ground that she was not a good woman.
 Why do they not go to the town of Plummerville where she was raised and resided until re- gently and procure afidavits in proof of their slanderous lies? They dare not try it and prefer, like their illustrious leader, to conduct a campaign freighted with lies and infamy. I was once a follower of Davis and had some confidence in his claims of being the poor mans friend, but I now view him in his proper light, a blatant demagogue, and I am glad to say that there are others of my former brothers who are coming to the same con- clusion and predict that on the 26th of March the one-gallus and patch-breeches fellows, which Jeff so farniliarly calls us, will demonstrate to the world that we are lovers of the purity of our homes and women.
 Yours respectfully,
 J. K. MCLAREN.
