REFLECTIONS UF A BACHELOR

Women are awfully nice to each other
when they are not friendly.
A man can make a lot of money by
not being a candidate for public office.
A woman gets very suspicious of her
husband If he is always content to kiss
her in the same place.
The. way woman acts when she
goes to get on a bicycle you would
think she was climbing over a barbed
wire fence.
1t makes woman feel terribly bash
full to forget to be confused when a
man catches her sewing some of her
queer clothes.-New York Press.

WOULDN'T THIS CHEER YOU?

At the outset of this paragraph, says
a writer in the Appleton Post, the pen
falters at the task of describing so
much sweetness. Imagine, If you can,
a bride of statuesque pose, gowned in
dreamy white chiffon, through the
flmy mystery of whose veil glowed
mass of pale gold hair like a sun
kissed cloud at morning. 1t was no
wonder that the guests crowded each
other and craned their necks to look.

CLARKE RETURNS HOME.

United States Senator James P. Clarke arrived in Little Rock Friday morning from the na- tional capital, says the Gazette, and will remain a few days, then return to his duties in the senate. The senator's homecoming at this time appears to have no po- litical significance, and as far as surface indications show he is taking no hand in the present campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Sena- tor Clarke is Ase of the attor- neys for the North Little Rocls side of the separation suit, which was recently decided by the su- preme court in favor of the North Side. This and other business of a legal nature is understood to be the cause of his return to Little Rock. Senator Clarke re- ceived the congratulations of a number of friends and constitu- ents on his recent speech in the senate in favor Of ratification of the Panama canal treaty.

Catbirds Defeat Biacksnake.

A writer in the Scientific American says: T witnessed pair of catbirds making bold defense against black snake bent on devouring the contents of their nest. At first the snake was in- clined to disregard the distressed birds as they fought to drive 1t away, but the blows of their wings and bills became so annoying that the thief had to seek refuge in flight. On reaching the roots of a tree from which the river had washed the dirt the snake started to climb, only to be driven beneath them and then out to an old stump, under which the bafiied and beaten reptile took refuge
