HAN.

Man that is born OF woman Is
small potatoes and few in a hill
He riseth up today and four
ishesh like rag weed, and to-
morrow oy the day after the un-
dertakcr has him in the ice box
He goeth forth IN the morning
warbling like the lark, and Is
knocked out in one round and
two seconds.
In the midst Of life he is in
debt, and the collector pursueth
him wherever he goeth.
The banister Of life is fall OF
splinters, and he slideth down it
with wonderful rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright
sunshine to absorb some ozone,
and he meeteth the bank teller
with a sight draft for 1888.
He cometh home at evehtde
and meeteth the wheeIbarfoW in
his path, and the wheelbarrow
riseth up and smiteth him to the
earth, and faIleth upon him and
runncth one Of its legs into his
ear.
In the gentle springtime he
putteth on his summer clothes,
and blizzard stFiketh him far
away from his home, and hleth
him with woe and rheumatism.
He layeth up riches in the
bank and the president specula-
teth in margins, and then goeth
to Canada for his health.
In the autumn he putteth on
his winter trousers, and a wasp
that abideth in them filleth him
full of intense excitement.
He buyeth a watch dog: and
when he cometh home late from
the lodge the watch deg treeth
him and sitteth beneath him un-
til rosy morn.
He falleth in love with a fail
damsel, but speedily giveth up
the notion of matrimony until
He marrieth a red-headed
heiress with a wart on her nose,
and the next day her parental
ancestor goeth under with few
assets and great liabilities, and
cometh home to live with his be-
loved son-in -law.-Ex.

THE PLAIN Truth.

In a personal letter to our tel-
low-townsman H. P. Stout, I. l..
Evans, husband of the woman
the fiend Pomp Brown attempted
to assault, has the following to
say about his wife, Arkie Evans,
and her father, Mr.. Mccullough,
signing The petition asking Gov
Davis to pardon Brown:
Plumerville, Ark.
February 20, 1904.
Mr.. II. P. Stout,
Evening Shade, Ark.
Dear Sir:
Your letter to Mr.. McCul-
Tough just received and we are
very much surprised to learn that
Gov. Davis should utter such a
uillful and malicious falseho0d as
to say my.wife, Arkie Evans, and
Mr.. Mccullough signed the pc
tition for the pardon of that black
inhuman brute, Pomp Brown.
The facts are, Mr.. Stout, the Pc
tition was not circulated here and
only contained the names of a
few persons living in Morrilton
and few of them knew what they
were signing. We knew nothing
of the petition or pardon until
after it was done and a friend
here told US Of it. 1t was done
seemingly on the quiet, secret
plan by Gov. Davis. Nj. Nc
Cullough and myself are opposing
GOV. Davis in this race for his act
in turning that inhuman black
fiend free. Will you kindly have
a few of your friends sign the
enclosed statement and send it to
me. | intend to use it elsewhere
in the state, We ought not be
surprised at anything the Gov
ernor says or does, as he sees
that he is beaten and is getting
desperate. With best wishes
Yours truly;
r. l.. EVANS,

Hon. Robert W. Hall Of High
land township is a candidate to

has served the people as post
master and justice of the peace

X in Felicities.

Half the profound truths one hears
are spoken entirely by mistake. Up in
the Virginia hills is a small hotel, or
large boarding house, whichever you
like to call it, where the air and scenery
are supposed to make up for the lack of
modern conveniences. A pitiful foot
tub and a pint of water greet you every
morning. and you pine for your home
tub as Moses followers hankered for
the fleshpots. A Washington m
who is own sister to Mrs. Partington,
is staying up there. She sat on the GAL
lery one day last week, and this is what
she said:
TITS a lovely place, but it has one
observation-disclosures are no felicities for
bathing here."-Washington Post.

Spiders Love.

"A spiders love for her children is
pretty strong" said a biologist. Take
her children away from her and she will
remember them for 20 hours" "How
do you know" Il have often made tho
experiment. Always at the end of ten,
IL or 20 hours a spider mother welcomes
back her young that you have removed
from her. After a full day has passed,
though. she forgets. Keep the little ones
away from her a full day and they are
strangers to her on their return. She is
liable to eat them. Her marital is
stronger than her maternal love. Take
her husband from her and she will mourn
him faithfully a day and a half."-Na-
ture.

MAScAGNI GAVE LESSONS.
Shows Street Organ Grinder How to
Play Intermezzo and the Latter
: Then Claims to Be a Pupil.

When MascaeEi was in London recent
ly an organ grinder one day played under
his window the famous intermezzo from
"Cavalleria Rusticana." AS the man
played, he turned the organ faster and
faster until the air was more like a waltz
than an intermezzo. At last Mascagni
could bear it M longer, and rushing out
Of the house he gave the organ grinder q
shilling and said:
II have heard that air at the opera,
and l think that you are playing it too
fast. Let me show you how it ought to
be played"
The composer then played the inter-
mezzo through in the proper time and
went back to the house.
A few days afterward the organ grind
err returned to the street and Mascagni
was delighted to hear the intermezzo
played in correct time. But he was not
20 pleased when he looked out of the
window and saw on the organ. a large
placard bearing the words: "Pupil of
Signor M~ascagni."

CATCH AN UGLY MONSTER.
New Jersey Fishermen Let Hideous
Thing Go for Seashore Attrac.
ton for the Summer.

Richard Harris sends word from
Hope Creek, N. j., that he and his shad
crew caught in their net a monster,
the like of which has never been seen
before in the bay. 1t was let 60 alive
in the hope that it might find its way
to some seaside resort and be captured
as a season attraction.
Harris describes the monster as "the
ugliest and most repulsive ever
created" Its shape was triangular,
about Is inches broad at the head and
graduated to the tail to a width of five
inches. Its length was about four feet
six inches, of a dirt color, and its
flesh was soft and fabby. On top Of
the head was a horn seven inches long.
There were three rows of teeth about
a half inch in each jaw, and the mouth
was big enough to take in q water
bucket.
