COL. MURPHY'S DEPARTURE.

When the Democratic primaries closed on March goth last the con test for the state nominations be- came closed incident, and the Democratie voters awaited the an nouneemeut of the nominees to whom they would owe allegiance in the September election. When the Democratic State Convention met on June II but oue name was presented for the gubernatorial nomination, and it was. on motion of one of the minority candidate S campaign managers, George E. Pugh, that the successful aspirant was Unanimously declared the nominee. So far as the result in September Is concerned. no ques- ton or doubt arises. speculation being confined entirely to the size af the Democratic party.
 Not more than ordinary interest, therefore, will attach to the an nouneement chat Attorney Gener- al George N. Murphy will sup port the Republican nominee for ] Governor.
 Arkansas Is so strongly Demo cratic and her citizens are so mind ful of Republican history in this state that her people will never commit the mistake of leaving present moorings in order to turn the commonwealth over to Clayton ct. al and if potent argument were necessary to show the folly of giving the state to the Republi- cans t could be found in quantity and quality in the speeches Col Murphy has so often made in pre- vious campaigns.
 The Democratic state and coun- ty tickets in Arkansas undoubted- ly represent the majority of the party, whose wishes were express ed at the primaries. Every Demo- crat in Arkansas knows that vote for Meyers in September is a vote against Parker,,and Davis in Nov. that even a reduction of the nor nal Democratic majority in Sept. would be hailed with delight by Roosevelt, the president who chuckles while he inhicts negro office holders upon the South.

Nobility.

True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in the dreaming
or great things 10 do by ard by,
For whatever men say in blindness.
And spite of the fancies of youth.
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can We give pain and gain pleasure
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wren.
But always the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
'Tis not in the pages of story
The heart of its Ills to beguile.
Though he who makes courtship to glory
For when from her nights he has won
Alas! il is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor
And nothing so loyal as love.
We can not make bargains for blisses
Nor catch them like fishes in nets:
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which II
gets.
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just In the doing, and doing
AS we would be done by, Is all.
Through envy. through malice, through
hating
Against the world early and late.
No jot of our courage abating-
Our part is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth
For he who Is honest is noble.
Whatever his fortunes or birth.

Variation of Moons Size.

AS seen by different persons, the
size of the moon varies from that OF
a cart wheel to silver dollar. TIC
many it seems about foot in diane
ter, from which Prof. Young concludes
that to the average man the distance
of the surface of the sky is about III
feet. 1t is certain that artists usually
represent the moon much too large in
size in their paintings. Occasionally
they represent it in evening scenes
with the horns turned downward in
stead of upward, whereas they mus
always point away from the sun. The
true angular size of the moon is about
half a degree, so that it can always
be concealed behind a leadpencil held
at arms length.

A bright, new bicycle was lifted out
and taken to the side entrance. Doris
Eorham stood in the door mixing some
iced for the chickens. When she saw
what was coming, her heart thumped
like a trip-hammer.
Her older sister, Lorinda, who was
sitting on the steps pairing apples,
started as though she had received a
blow, when the wheel was placed be-

you've always showed such perverse-

but a phantom Seth had been her con-
slant companion, whether she would
or not-although, when, as neighbors,
they met occasionally, they barely
passed the time Of day, and since his
wife's death, the old lovers had seen
nothing of each other.
In the evening of the eventful day
in the Gorham house, Doris in dress
reduced in rank to bicycle skirt,
passed stealthily down the gravel walk
and noiselessly up to quiet, little
street recently macadamized, where
she determined to learn to ride the
unmanageable thing she was leading.
Her method was, indeed, original.
With her left foot on the pedal and
her right one on the curb-stOne, she
propelled herself, reversing the posi-

The quaint little woman soon gained
confidence and was able to wheel
down the steep hill at the end of the
street without any mishaps.
Just before starting for home, as
she held the handle-bar like a wise

was suddenly showed in such a man

the bit and have its way.
"Where're you going" yelled a
hoarse voice, as someone wheeled by
her.

answered Doris not daring to look
up and following her leader at a ter
rife speed.
Reaching the foot of the hill. she

hlushed, as she remembered that there
was only two years difference in their
ages. Conscious of each others en-
