JUST TREAT US FAIRLY.

The following from an exchange
gives advice which some people
should consider. The newspaper
man does not ask something for
nothing, but only desires to be
treated fairly:
Every man in every town dur
ing the course of lifetime has to
ask favor of the editor-not an
exception to this rule. A man
may escape a doctor, keep clear of
the courts, but once in a lifetime,
at least, every man has to go to a
newspaper to ask to have a certain
piece put ina death notice, or
to have certain piece kept out or
to have his name printed In, or
omitted from some item. 1t IS
therefore to your interest to treat
the editor fairly. He desires to De
fair; he would rather do the right
thing than the wrong thing; but if
you give him kick the dent of it
may be found in the top of your
own hat some day and you will
never know how it got there.
Don't think that you are immune;
don't think that Providence has
especially favored you. Your
time will come, some day, and
when it does come, it will be fine
investment if YOU have a friend in
the editors office.

HOW rIAUD SET A HEN.

Maud Muller on summers day
Set hen III brand-new
{Maud, you see, was city girl
Trying the rural life whirl.
She covered the box with tinsel gay
Lined it snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for likely hen
Out of the flock selected one,
And then she thought that her work
was done
1T would have been, but this stubborn
hen
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot.a and
then
Maud Muller came, and in hurt surprise
Looked coIdly into the creature S eyes;
Then tied its legs to the box. You bet
/ know how TO make you set. :"
But still it stood, and worse aud worse
Shrit1ed forth its wrongs to the uni
verse.
Kicked over the box with It's ttnsel gay.
And ANONYMOUSLY tapped away.
Then bad boy, over the barn yard
fence.
Tee-heed: Say, Maud. there's Il diff
ereuee
Tween hens, you know, and it is That
One says 'ka-doot' and one 'Ka-dat..' -
Then Maud recalled that the ugly brute
She tried 10 set had said "ka-doot!"
And every since that historic day
She bushes in an embarrassed way
To think OF the habble she made nee
when
She tried To set Il gentleman ben.

INVENTIONS OF SAVACES.
Articles of Present-Day Utility Had
Their Origin with Prim-
tive Peoples.

Mortar was made by the people
of Tahiti when our ancestors were
shivering in holes in the rocks.
They dived into the sea, brought
up great Jumps of coral, burned
them in pits, using wood as fuel,
and mixed the lime they got in this
fashion with sharp sand and wa
ter. With this mixture the ingen-
ious savage plastered the walls
and floors of his house, and bet
ter mortar could not be obtained.
Another purely savage inven-
ton which is perhaps the most ia
miliar object of modern life is the
tobacco pipe-not only the com
mon clay, which the North Amer
Aican Indians nodded centuries ago
out of the red sandstone of Col
orado, but the wooden pipe, the
prototype of the everyday briar.
The bowl was followed out of any
well-seasoned piece of hard wood,
but the stem rather puzzled peo-
pile who had no augers. In some
savage pipes which have crooked
stems the wood of which the
latter was composed has been
split, each piece followed sepa-
rately and the two pieces nicely
spliced together again.
The great steam pillow that tills
with steel point ten acres of land
in a day is the direct descendant
of the savages' wooden pillow
which oxen pulled, or, before oxen
were domesticated, team of
women hauled through the soil.

NEXT u. S. SENATORSHJp
Does Gov. Davis Reduced Maiority
in Recent Election Point to
His Defeat for SenatorP

In political circles there is much
talk concerning the effect of the
recent state election on the next
United States senatorship. Gov.
Jeff Davis, who failed to receive
the votes Of all the democrats vot-
inc in the recent election, is an
avowed candidate for senator. to
succeed Senator Berry, whose
county, usually democratic by
from 200 to 1000 majority, was
carried by Davis by a plurality of
only 80 votes.
Senator Berry has not yet made
any public statement relative to
his intentions. In the event that
he is not candidate for another
term there will be others in the
race, and it appears likely that
there will be four or five entries,
no matter what course the senator
takes. Congressman ). Brun-
didge Jr. of Searcy is regarded as
probable candidate in the event
Senator Berry does not run, and
the Arkansas Gazette says that
CONGRESSMAN Joe T. Robinson is a
prospective candidate, either for
governor or senator, in 1906. Ex-
Governor Dan w. Jones has fire.
quently been spoken of in connec-
ton with the senatorship, and now
and then the possibility of ex-Sen-
ator James X. Jones entering the
race in case Senator Berry does
not run is discussed.
Indications are that there will
be no lack of candidates. The
more the merrier for Gov. Davis,
under the new plan of choosing "A
democratic nominee for senator.
The last democratic state con-
yention was controlled by the fol
lowers of Gov. Davis, and the
body adopted the plurality plan in
connection with the United States
senatorship. The candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of
votes for senator will be declared
the nominee for that office. Rules
to govern the primary will be
prescribed by the pro-Davis state
central committee. Under the au-
thority given by the Hot Springs
convention it would be possible for
the state committee to set forth as
qualification for voting in the
1906 primary that the voter must
have cast his ballot for the demo-
cratic nominee for governor in
1904. AS there were, on low
calculation, %, 900 democrats who
did not so cast their ballots it will
be seen that the Davis senatorial
candidacy may not be imperiled
by the participation of these dem
ocrats in the primary which is to
settle the senatorship. Neve rthe-
less, signs are multiplying to the
effect that the next senatorship
will not 90 to Gov. Davis by de-
fault.
