There IS no necessity for Drew and Desha counties to get at logger heads over the Senat torial question. Drew had the Sena- tor the last time and Desha is entitled to it this time, under the agreement made and entered in to by the Central Committees of both counties. The great "boog a-boo" about Desha try ing to get q part of Drew's ter ritory is all bosh. No decent man from Desha elected Senator, could afford to engineer such a scheme against the people he was representing, and the people of Desha are not going to nomi- nate a man for senator who is anything else but decent. We have no patience with shyster politics, and want to see the a ,reement between the counties carried out faithfully.

That Dlusmore Letter.

During the Governors speech at Bentonvlle last Saturday he gave Senator Berry the celebrated let. ter that Berry had written to Mr. Dinsmore. The Senator read the letter, as follows:
 "Warren, Ark, 1I-5'o5
 Dear Hugh-Davis has chang ed his date and will be at Benton vile on the and day of December, and l am thinking seriously of meeting him there and want you to write me at Little Rock your best judgment about il. l ex- peet to be at Little Rock on next Tuesday night and stay there Wednesday and Thursday.

 "I found things in Dallas better than 1 expected and also at Pine Bluff, where stayed three hours. It Is raining here this morning. 1 guess I'll have no crowd.
 "The race has not been discussed in this section much.
 My throat is not in good con- | dltion. ours,
 las. II. Berry"
 The Senator thanked the Gov ernor for returning the letter and said he would like for it to be pub- lished in every paper throughout the State, so every man, woman and child could read it, for II have never yet written or said anything that am ashamed for the people of the grand old State of Arkansas to read or hear.

ENTERTAINING IN DARKNESS,
Novel Idea in Dinner Parties That Comes
from Switzerland.

The very latest idea in entertaining

from Paris and smart Swiss towns
Where the thing now is to entertain Your
guests, II not entirely in the dark. at any
rate IN darkness or semi-darkness nh tho

AT dinner party the hors-d'oeuvres
and soup are served as usual. in a brill
liahtly lighted apartment, and then. to
the CONSERVATION of people who are new
to the idea, the light goes out. Then the
door opens and the servants come in.
carrying brilliantly Illuminated dishes
containing the fish, and, as each guest
takes his or her portion, they help them
selves to light at the same time, and
when every one is served the effect is
falryllke. Suppose the fish contains
lobster in some form or other, the cleo
tric light shade is in the shape of the
head of the lobster and sheds a delight
tul red glow over the table.
The most ingenuity, however. is shown
when the ices are served. Generally i
huge bird or beast, basket or cornucopia
made of ice is wheeled into the room.
blazing with lights and filled with ices
When each guest is served the light goes
cut and only those ON the places jllum-
mate the room. When the strawberry
ices are served the shades take either
the form of the berry itself in crimson
o. The pure white blossom. These are
given alternately to the guests, and have
the prettiest effect.
At big Swiss hotel the ice is served
in this way every evening. 4 favorite
design is Swiss chalet. This is
wheeled in, brilliantly Illuminated. In
each apartment are two lights and two
ices, and when every one is helped the
twinkling lights die away and the chalet
disappears on its invisible wheeled chair.
Another popular way of serving the ice
is the polar scene. Blocks of glass rep
resent the icebergs. and the electric light
is swathed in cold looking blue while the
snow is made of white ice cream. Some
times a few white china animals are
placed in inches in the glass to give
greater effect. london Mail.

The History of Sheep.

OF all domesticated animals the sheen
has, from time immemorial, been most
closely associated with mankind An
erudite author sixty years ago, having
lab0riouSly collated an assortment of nj
lusions to sheep made by sacred and nro-
fame writers, concluded that the history
of these animals is 80 interviewer with
the history of man that they never ey-
listed in wild state at all. Biblical his
tory from the time of Abel is full of
illusions to the tlocks which formed the
chief possessions of the Jewish peoDle.
and their neighbors. The Spoils of war
and the tribute of vassal Kings largely
consisted OF sheep. Thus we read thar
Mesha. King of Moab, was a sheep mas
ter, and rendered unto the King of Israel
100000 lambs and 100000 rams with the
wool. Moses after his victory over the
Midianites obtained as loot no less than
$4,000 sheep, and long before the Chris
tan era sheep were cultivated in western
Europe. Spain and Italy possessed them
from an unknown period. although long
after Rome was founded the inhabitants
had not learned to sheer the fleece: and
until the time of Pliny, the practice nf
plucking it from the skin was not wholly
abandoned Outing.
