That means that she viii make us all fly

little joke.
You're about right, Bobby" his sister Min

say much about it. But Martha certainly does
keep us busy while she's here"
We must be prepared to go anywhere do
anything at moments notice" Mrs. Boyd went
on; and Bobby, you must be where can call
ON You at any time"
The following week, Minnette and Bobby met
their cousin at the station and warmly
greeted by the pretty girl who came hurrying down
the platform toward them, her blue eyes shining
with pleasure, her hair blowing in fluffy ringlets

HER HAPPY THOUGHT.

A pretty story is told of Kaiser William L. the
grandfather of the present German emperor which
deserves to be remembered.
The emperor visited crtain village and the
school children of the place took prominent part
in the reception which was given him. After it
was over his majesty thanked the little ones for the
pleasure they had given him, and then began to
ask them some questions. Taking an orange in
his hand, he held it up and asked: "To what king
dom does this belongg's "To the vegetable king
dom, Mr. Emperor answered little girl.
His majesty then took gold piece from hts

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Aieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy is glad that a few dear girls came
10 her rescue this week and remembered to write
her. For two whole days she did not receive let
ter, just think! Aunt Busy so neglected when
her desk is filed with letters all the year round !
Do not forget that other nieces and nephews look
for the letters, too.
So the weather IS too warm to write to Aunt
Busy Nc matter how warm it is Aunt Busy never
forgets to write few lines to her dear children.
She only regrets not hearing from all the girls and

the devoted fathers and so much interesting news

MR.. NOBODY.

/ know funny little man,
AS quiet as mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybodys house!
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr.. Nobody.
'Tis he who always tears our books,
Who leaves the door aiar;
He pulls the buttons from our shirts
And scatters pins afar.
That squaking door will always squak,
For, prithee, don't you see,
We leave the oiling TO be done
By Mr.. Nobody.
He puts damp wood upon the fire
That kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud
And all the carpets soil. ;
The papers always are mislaid;
Who had them last but he?
There's no one losses them about
But Mr.. Nobody.
The finger marks upon the door
By none of us are made;
We never leave the blinds Enclosed.
To let the curtains fade
The ink we never spill. the boots
That lying round you see
Are not our boots; they belong
To MIR. Nobody.

OUR NEW BANK.

The most enterprising step that
Camden and Benton County has
taken in many years is the opening
of our new bank, a bank owned
and controlled by the people of
Benton County.
Everybody should be proud of
this new enterprise, which speaks
well for the financial condition of
the county, and insures the people
against extortion that might be
practiced where there is only one
bank in the county.
The new bank has already been
a great saving to people holding
checks on banks in the adjoining
counties. Everybody should join
in the support of such an institu-
ton. "a bank for the people by
the people"
If you have money not in use,
put it in the bank. The bank will
loan it and put it in circulation
and you can check on the amount
when you wish, making the same
amount answer both purposes.
This is the way to make money
circulate and times good. **.

HEALTHY MOTHERS.

Mothers should always keep in
good health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual
sight to see mother, with babe in
arms, coughing violently and ex-
hibiting all the symptoms Of a
consumptive tendency. And why
should this dangerous condition
exist, dangerous alike to mother
and child, when DR.. Boschee's Ger
man Syrup would put stop..to it
at once? No mother should be
without this old and tried remedy
in the house-for its timely use
will promptly cure any lung, throat
or bronchial trouble in herself or
her children. The worst cough or
cold can be speedily cured by Ger
man Syrup; SO can hoarseness and
congestion of the bronchial tubes

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1904
1T WAS EVER THUS.


Charlotte, Ca, News the week Of
the election and addressed to the
Democratic "reoFganizers, is SO
true that we.ean not refrain from
pubhshingit:
I'm the first place, where were
you yesterday? You did not seem
to materialize. Did you vote the
Republican ticket or take to tho
woods?
"We met at st. Louis only few
months ago. You said you had a
candidate who could win, and we
all voted for him. You told us the
kind of platform you wanted, and
we gave it to you. Then when
your candidate telegraphed us that
he could not accept nomination
unless it were understood that he
favored the gold standard, we rec
ogni2ed the high courage of that
act of his and gave him a renewal
of our endorsement.
"You picked out the candidate
for Vice President, and we voted
for him. Then we gave you the
management of the whole cam
paign. Tom Taggart had rather
cinch in the nomination for chair
man at st. Louis, but we told Tom
to wait a while and see what our
candidate said about it. The can
didate left it to you, and after try
ing yainly to find somebody else
who would take the risk of defeat
yon selected Tom.
ave confess that our sympa-
thies are little with Tom, because
YOU did all that was possible to
discard him before you intrusted
nina with the management of the
campaign. We were also glad of
the element OF responsibility that
was given to the management by
the election of George Foster Pea
body as treasurer, but he was a
Southern man originally.
"And4 then you said that what
Was needed was harmony, and we
promptly harmonized. Gold Dem
oerats and free silver Democrats
got together down here and there
were no causalities reported. And
when election day came we went
to the polls and voted for Mr.. Par
ker with entire unanimity. And
10 and behold! we were the only
ones that did. If it had not been
foE the South the election of Mr..
Roosevelt would have been by
unanimous vote.
"We went to the newspaper and
telegraph Offices last night and
waited for news of the victory. We
heard it. New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana,
West Virginia, all seemed to pre-
fer Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.. Mckinley
or Mr.. Bryan to Mr.. Parker. We
have not been able to figure out
which yet. But you blamed us
powerfully for voting for Mr.. Bry-
aS four years ago and eight,years
ago, and now the returns show that
he was more of favorite In New
York itself four years ago than Mr..
Parker was. this year.
"All right! Go ahead. And
when 1908 comes around you can
count on us again. We will go to
the convention and vote for your
candidates, and adopt your plat
form, and give you the manage
ment, and then we will so to. the

Methodist Conference Con.
Siders Question of HaY-
ing Negro Bishops

Los Angeles, Cal, May 6.-Two ses.
sions were held yesterday by the
Methodist general conference. In the
morning the reading of the quadrien.
nial address of the board of bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal church to
the general conference, and the after.
noon was devoted to the receipt and
reference of memorials from various
annual conferences.
Plea for Negroes.
DR.. George Elliott, of Detroit, pre-.
sented a memorial to the effect that
the committee on episcopacy' consider
the advisability of the election of col
ored bishops. He said he believed
the Methodist Episcopal church had
reached a crisis in it's relation with
the colored race.
IF we are to hold the 100000 col.
ored membership we now have" he
said, I'VE ought to give them some
sort of leadership which they under
stand and trust and which understands
them
Charles P. McClelland, of New
York, lay delegate, spoke in opposi-
ton to DR.. Elliott's resolution. Mr.
McClelland said he was very sorry
this resolution was offered at this
time; that if the church had reached
crisis in its relations with the col
ored people, it was brought about by
just such resolutions as this. He be-
lieved that the race question had been
brought before the conference entire
ly too much, and said that he hoped
the present conference would see an
end to this agitation. He was willing,
he said, to see any man elevated by
episcopal honors, regardless of color,
when that man should attain such
worth and distinction as would war
rant this high recognition.
Don't Like Meeting Place.
The principal subject Of this morn
ing's session was the criticism on the
pavilion, and its poor seating and
acoustic properties. Prominent
Methodists say that the Los Angeles
city council promised if the confer
ence could be secured for this city,
a new convention hall would be ready.
A convention hall committee was APP
pointed, but had never accomplished
anything.
The morning session was also de-
voted to reports and the presentation
of resolutions. Bishop Cyrus D. Foss,
presided.
