A State Legislator Asked 10 Resign by
HIS Constituents.

A mass meeting of citizens was
held at Perryville, Perry county,
last Saturday, at which meeting
Albert w. Rison, who is one of
the representatives of Perry and
Pulaski counties in the state sem
ate, was asked to resign his seat.
This action is the result of di-
vorce proceedings filed recently
in the courts of Perry county by
R. E. Rison, o brother of Sena-
tor Rison, against his wife,
charging her with infidelity and
naming Senator Rison as CO.
respondent. Among those pres
ent at the mass meeting Satur.
day was Roy Rison, a son of R.
E. Rison, who stated that he
would swear that the statements
set out in his fathers complaint
for divorce are true.
A damage suit for $4,000 has
also been filed by R, E. Rison
against his brother, Senator
Rison, for alternating the affect.
ions of his wife.
Sentiment runs high around
Perryville, and the senatorial
district seems determined not to
overlook such conduct as that
alleged against Senator Rison.
Senator Rison says he will not
resign his seat in the legislative
bo ly, and declares the charges
against him are untrue, and the
work of his political enemies.

If your liver does not act reg.

THE RECORD
BY CLAUDE l.. COGER.
Bellboy Died From WhisKey.

Two travelling men at Sedalia,
Mo-, are indirectly the cause OF
the death of Houston Burris,
16.year-old bellboy at a hotel in
that town. The two travelling men
who were drinking heavily in
sisted on the boy drinking with
them, which he did so often that
he fell sensaless to the floor by
the bar and died in a very short
time. Much indignation is ex-
pressed against the two drum
mers, and they were forced to
leave the city.

THE GRAND MoNARouE

~ f414G 1kSANO 0ONAHlUE.
On great bed Of state, satin draped,
t1anked with ancient tapestries, piled
sickeningly soft with heaps Of pillows,
there Ley thin, withered little man
old, old and very feeble. His face was
shrunken and drawn with pain; his
eyes, once bright, were dulled; his
brow. formerly imperious, had lost fts
arrogance. Under the coverings which,
in the unrest Of illness, he now pulled
high about his face, now tossed rest
lessly aside, his figure lay. an elongated,
shapeless blot, scarce showing beneath
the silks. One limb, twitched and
drawn up convulsively, told Of a defin-
lite seat Of pain. The hands, thin and
wasted. lay out upon the coverlets: and
the thumbs were creeping. creeping
ever more insistently, under the cover
Of the fingers, telling that the battle
for life was lost, that the surrender
had been made.
1t was death-bed, this great bed
Of state: death-bed situated in the
heart Of the greatest temple Of desire
ever built in all the world. He who
had been master there, who had set
in order these miles Of stately col
umns. those seas OF. glittering gilt and
crystal. he who had been magician,
builder, creator, perverter, debaser-
he, Louis Of France, the Grand Mon

binary human being, like any common
man.

the once stubborn will gave way. The
last gasp of the failing breath was
drawn. The herald at the window an
