RULERS.
Their Weak Points Pass UnnOticed.
N%apOIeon's Workmanship.

Rulers have always been fiattered,
from Canutc's time downward, Ii be-
ing, 1t would seem, an unwritten law
that II monarch's weak points should
pass unrecognized. Napoleon III. once
said, in consollng n friend who CHANGED
to be shooting with him for his poor
craftsmanship:
"YOu need not fret about It. The en-
perOr (by which he meant his uncle, the
great Napoleon H. was even Il worse
shot than you are. The only time they
put a gun In his hand he killed n poor
hound and went away thinking he had
killed a stag.
"In those days the stag, whenever
brought to bay. was left for the I'm
peror to kill. One day, however, the
emperor was not to be found, and the
master Of the staghounds finished the
animal with his knife. Just then the
emperor came in sight.
"They hurriedly got the dead stag on
Its legs, propping 1t up with branches,
etc, and handed the emperor the cara.
bine of honor as 1t was called. The
emperor fired, and of course the stag
tumbled over, but at the same time
there was a piteous whine from one OF
the hounds, which had been shot
through the head.
"The emperor wheeled around, un'
conscious Of the mischief he had done
saying to one Of the aids-de-camp
After all, I am not as bad a shot al
they pretend!"

Many of us who have seen clans know
that they have "necks," but are ig-
norant of the purpose and character.
istics Of this attachment. AS they lie
on the ground they are far from being
close mouthed. In fact, they are sell
dom to be seen with the shell closed.
From one end projects the meek"
which may be three times as long as
the shell when fully extended. This
fact, in case the ''neck' Is stretched
out, makes one wonder how such a
length can be contracted into such a
small space and how much remains In
the shell after the meek" has been
elongated. This Is the astonishing char
acteristic of the soft shelled clam and
the one that makes him unacceptable
to so many people. One of the clans.
for instance, is three inches long. His
neck when extended is possibly eight
| or nine inches long and as large around
as q mans middle finger.
As every one knows, the clam when
in it's native haunts Is to be found sew
| eral inches below the surface OF the
sand. He has to be dug up when dis
covered by the little spurts Of water
| which the clam beneath throws up
when disturbed.
This meek" connects the clam with
his food supply In the water above.
In the meek are parallel tubes.
| Though one tube the clam sucks in q
quantity of water. From the water he
absorbs whatever n~ourishment 1t may
contain and then expels the water
through the other tube.
One may wonder how the clam gets
into the sand or mud. At the end op-
posite the meek" may be seen an APP
pendage resembling a turtles tail In
shape and called a foot. 1t is with this
foot that he digs his way downward

SUING IRON MOUNTAIN
for Issuing Pass to Member of legisla- ture Whose Name Has Not
 Vet Been Disclosed.

Little Rock, Sept. 27. Prose cutting Attorney Rhoton today filed suit against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company for $2,000, the full penalty, for issuing free transportation to state officials and members of tee legislature. It is alleged in the complaint that the officials of. the Iron Mountain issued a certain state senator, whose name will be dis closed at the proper time, free transportation over that road. The penalty under the statutes is a fine of $200 to $20O0 against the railroad and a like fine, re- moval from office and future dis barment from holding office against the guilty legislators.

Divergence Of Opinion.

Little Rock, Sept. 27,-There is divergence of opinion among Arkansas experts on the cotton situation. Some authorities say that the crop will be exceedingly short, and that there has been a decided deterioration on account of rains which fell two weeks ago, causing the young plant to scald under the hot sun that followed, and the maturing plant to shed it's squares. In sections it is said that the army worm has, done some damage. The uplands still promise a very fair

BAD CHARGES AGAINST BERRY.
Governor Declares Senator Pard0ned Negro Murderer to Get Votes
 10 Elect Him Senator.

Rogers, Sept. 27. - Senator Berry and Greer McAndrews of Bentonville may have a mighty hard time voting at the next Democratic primary. Gov. Davis made the above statement dur ing his address yesterday morn- ing at the Arkansas State Fair in connection with reference to the fact that he only carried Benton county at the last state election by a majority of 27. The normal Democratic majority here is close to 1,800. He ac- cused Berry of failing to SUD- the state ticket, and then added the above threat. It is consid- cred to have reference to re- pol ted plan of the Democratic state central committee to allow only those Democrats to vote at the next primary who will de- clare they did not scratch the ticket at the last election and will not scratch it at the next one.
 The chief new matter brought up in connection with the record of Senator Berry was concerning the pardoning of five negroes sentenced with twenty-five oth- CTS for the murder of white man. After reading at length from the narrowing details of the crime, as given in the rec ords of the circuit court, Davis made the direct charge that these pardons were issued be- cause Berry, then governor, was a candidate for the United States senate and sought to influence the votes of the eleven negro members of the legislature. It was the first time Davis has made this charge.
 The charges against Senator Berry fell on unresponsive ears and was a veritable wet blanket. Not a single handclap was given in indorsement.
 Speaking of some of his own acts as governor, Davis said: Logan says he is the daddy of the antitrust law. King says he is the daddy of the anti trust law. But l say to you, gentlemen, that Jeff Davis is the real daddy, and that he wrote every line of it."

TEN MILLION BALES.
Col. Fletcher Makes Estimate and Says fleecy Staple Should Bring
 Twelve Gents.

Col. John G Fletcher, we'll known authority on cotton. has given out the following interview:
 T estimate the condition at 75 per cent. With a late fall, late frost and favorable weather it will easily make that. There has been decided improvement dur ing the last few weeks, and complaints are due to local con- ditions rather than general in- fluences. -Alllands that have been even partially worked will yield some cotton. Picking has be- come general, and the ginneries will start up soon. The crop is several weeks late and is open ing slowly, and is still growing and taking on fruit. For this reason it is impossible to predict just what the crop will be.
 ''lt is my opinion that the crop will exceed 10000, ,0O0 bales and at that figure it ought to bring twelve cents. The holding movement last winter, in connec- tion with the interposition of Providence, Accomplished great deal in forcing better prices, and beneficial results may come from the present movement. /"
 There is a disposition on the part of the farmers to hold for eleven cents, led by B. H. Bur- nett, of Chickalah, president of the Arkansas division of the Southern Cotton Association, who is travelling over the state and addressing the farmers on the subject. The movement has not yet become sufficiently gen. eral to indicate just what the result may be.

 This letter is being sent out with fac similes of the celebrated Cook note. In it the governor reiterates the charges which Gen.

The cause of the state against Dave Mattox, charged with rape, went to the jury at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday, evening and at 8 D. m., upon the reconvening of court, after a recess for supper, verdict of acquittal was re- turned. The first ballot stood eleven to one for acquittal, and the solitary juryman gave in to the opinion of the other eleven.
