THE CITY MAN LOST

II is the boast OF the country store
keeper, the proprietor of what is known
as the general store, that he carries ev-
erything that can be found i'm the mar
kets or i'm the shops. He has dry goods
and groceries, hardware and cutlery,
crockery and glassware, tobacco and
cigars, boots and shoes, candy and
fodder, paints and oils and everything
else necessary to supply the wants OF
his customers.
There is q general store i'm Essex.
Conn, that is stocked with all these ar
ticles and many others too numerous
to mention. A native once boasted
to city guest that he could get any
thing he called for in that store.
"Pll bet the drinks and cigars that l
can call for something he can't pro-
duce," said the city man.
And I'll take that bet" replied the
native.
Together they marched over to the
store and the city man accosted the
proprietor.
Have you any secondhand pulpits?"
he inquired.
The storekeeper hesitated for a mo-
ment and then replied.
Yes, 1 have. I've got just one left.
It's down i'm the barn there, and I'll
sell 1T dirt cheap. You see," he added.
when the Congregational church was
being fixed up inside a few years ago
| purchased the old pulpit to help the
church along in providing a new one,
and it's been in my barn ever since.
You can have it at a bargain"
The city man didn't want the pulpit,
but he willingly paid the bet.-Kansas

A LUDICROUS SPECTACLE

Nothing could be more ridiculous
than the posing of two New York
multi-millionaires, of the dilettante
class, in the role of labor leaders," !"
ostensibly arrayed against 1.-The cap
italistic class" The idea of Satan
rebuking sim affords the nearest ap-
proach to a fitting parallel to the
spectacle.
One of the millionaires referred to
is well known in California-too well
known for the good name Of the state.
This person is w. r. Hearst, whose
egregious vanity leads him to believe
that he Is destined to become presi-
dent Of the United States. The mate
of Hearst, in this connection, is Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler. scion of the
Astor and Stuyvesant families. These
two pampered inheritors of great
wealth now appear as political leaders
asking the working classes to make
them, respectively, governor and lieu
tenant governor of the Empire state.
AS conclusive evidence that 1.-The
fools are not all dead" thousands of
laboring men are shouting for the two
millionaire vote seekers, neither of
whom would touch the hand of a
worker with a pair of tongs except
with the sinister purpose now appar-
ent. Even in congress Hearst's par
venu interests led him to cut the ac-
quaintance of members who had the
misfortune to be comparatively poor.
And these two kid-gloved millionaire
labor leaders" are shoveling out cam
paign money in a manner delightful to
their hirelings and amazing to their
honest dupes. 1t is said that the cost
of Hearst's aspiration for the COVER
norship, down to the time of his sue
cessfu deal for the Democratic nom
ination, was upward of $1,000, ,0O0 AS
evidence that the sum is likely to be
duplicated, the announcement is made
that he and Chanler have each con-
tributed 100000 to the Democratic
campaign fund. Hearst's own party,
the so-called Independence league, has
practically no campaign resources ex-
cept such as he and Chanler may
contribute.
Is it not astonishing that laboring
men Of presumed intelligence fail to
see that they are being used by such
plutocrats solely as stepping stones to
high places?

The czARlNA.s CHARM

The general appearances of the car
ina may be fairly well known in this
country, although fewer pictures have
been published of her than OF any other
crowned head. But no picture that
had seen gave any idea of how she
really looks, seen thus face to face.
Perhaps this may be for the reason
that much of her beauty comes from
exquisite coloring, and that there Is
about her subtle charm impossible to
picture and difficult to describe She
is very tall and very slender, yet most
finely proportioned. Her features are
almost Greek in their regularity, and
the natural expression of her race
struck me at once as S1ngularly Wis.,
full and sweet sadness that never went
quite away even when she smiled Her
hair is strikingly beautiful and luxuri-
ant, long, heavy, glossy and brown
gold in color. Her eyes are large, soft,
lustrous gray-blue, with long lashes.
and 1 painted them cast down, as they
nearly always are; for she is shy, and
hardly ever looks up without blush
Yet with all the czarina's blushing
shyness, her bearing impressed me with
a sense of something much deeper ana
graver than mere admiration for q
beautiful, graceful woman. 1t Is diff
ficult to define just what this impress
sion was, but 1t may be termed ma
jesty, for lack of a subtler term; and
the feeling of 1t increased during the
entire time that / was privileged to
enter her presence, although no one
could have been kinder or more simple
in all that she said and did.--Century.

LET VOTES DECIDE

The Los Angeles real estate dealers
seem to be of one accord in the opinion
that the limitation of street railway
franchises to twenty-one years is work.
ing incalculable injury to the city's ex-
pansion.
These men certainly are the best
judges of cause and effect in this mat
ter. 1t is said that there are 25O0 per-
sons, approximately, who are directly
concerned in the real estate business.
This representative group has appealed
to the city council to resubmit to voters
the question of franchise limitation.
The present limit is twenty-one years;
prior to two years ago it was fifty
years.
The present proposition of the real
line half way between the present
limit and the one which it superseded.
That is to say, they ask that the
franchise life period be fixed at thirty
three years. 1t is intimated that the
railway companies would be satisfied
with such an adjustment, and that they
would resume the construction of new
lines and extensions of others on that
basis.
There is no good cause for objection
to the submission of this question to
popular vote, as desired by the real
estate interests. The proposition is in
az vordance with the good old Demo-
cratic idea of home rule in local affairs
and of majority rule in all public
affairs. The twenty-one-year franchise
system was adopted by large ma
jority OF the popular vote. If the peo-
pie are of the same mind now as at the
former period they will vote against
the proposed change. And whatever the
decision may be the minority will
acquiesce, in true Democratic fashion
But advocates of the new proposition
declare that complete showing of the
situation, in respect to the citys ex-
pansion, will lead to a reversal of the
former vote. Great as that expansion
has been during the last two years, il
is argued that the stoppage of railway
extension has greatly retarded improve
ment in many sections of the city. The
advance of improvement follows the
railway lines, as a rule, and it looks
reasonable that the lack of new lines
has had tendency to check improve
ment in certain districts
This subject certainly is of sufficient
Importance to warrant the submission
Of it to popular vote, on a charter
Amendment, in accordance with th'
real estate mems appeal to the charter
revision committee Of the council.

MnRnLY YAHnARST PuPPnT

The Hearst yellow has an editorial
with the caption. 'Langdon, the Candi-
date Of the People"
The inpudence Of the thing is laugh
able. Everybody is accustomed to ex-
hibitions Of gall from that quarter, but
this Is surely piling Il up to an un-
wonted II not an unexpected degree.
The facts are quite familiar, but II is
timely to recall how and why Langdon
happens to be candidate at all.
VIM. r. Hearst, finding the Demo-
cratic party determined to reorganize
itself and boost him out along with the
Southern Pacific railroad, came west
to san Francisco, got together a bunch
of his agents and employees, and under
his explicit orders they met, organized
the so-oalled Independence league and
nominated a state ticket. Langdon was
then and there named, by the Hearst
agents, for governor.
Where did the people come in?
The people had nothing whatever to
do with 1t. It was a one-man affair
throughout. Boss Hearst organized the
league in order to aid his own imperiled
fortunes in New York and to assist
Herrin in keeping the Democratic party
out of power in California.
Langdon, a good fellow enough per-
sonally, but mere puppet Of Hearst,
is now pictured and paraded in the
Hearst yellows as "the peoples candi-
date" when the absurdity of It is OBJ
vious.
Hearst and his hirellngs created the
so-called league; Hearst and his hire
lings held the so-called state conven-
tion and nominated those men whom
Hearst selected. 1t is the worst case
of boss-made, boss-owned, boss-dlrected
politics in the history of this country.
Union labor. at last exercising Its
own prerogatives and becoming at last
conscious of the fact that its organiza-
tions have been submitting themselves
as catspaws of Hearst's personal ambi-
tions and tails to the kites Of his yell
low papers-union labor has begun to
throw off its Hearst shackles by taking
prompt and decisive steps to repudiate
and disavow the Hearst league ticket.
1t was high time. There are men of
fine intelligence among the union labor
organizations, and they have too long
permitted corrupt agitators to trade on
their good name and sell them out to
such constituencies millionalres as Will
liam Randolph Hearst, who, posing as
"a friend of labor" is in reality one of
the worst enemies that honest labor has
in all this country.
Poor Langdon! He represents nothing
and nobody on Gods green earth but
the greed and selhshness of Hearst and
his renegades.

TRYING HIS METAL

A suggestive incident is related con-
eerning the recent great automobile
race on Long island for the Vanderbilt
cup. 1t is stated that "In addition to
winning the race, Tracy also won a
bride, Miss Taylor having accepted
his proposal OF marriage conditioned
upon his winning"
A somewhat similar circumstance,
but with a reverse situation ultimately,
was reported I'm connection with the
recent prize fight at Goldheld. Bat
Ting Nelson, as reported, had the
promise Of bride on the condition that
he won the fght He lost, however,
and the prospective bride is said to
have Tilted him in disgust.

gest interesting possibilities. Why, In

tive bride insist upon tangible assur-
ance that a suitOr for her hand is a

THE ARKANSAS PoRkER

A man who had watched the affair
and claimed to know about hogs, razor
backs in particular. gave the following
dissertation: Arkansas has a great
er variety of hogs and less pork and
lard than any state in. the Union, An
average hog in Arkansas weighs about
fourteen pounds when dressed with its
head on and about six pounds and
a half with its head off. 1t can outrun
a greyhound, jump rail fence, climb
like parrot and live on grass, roots
and rabbit tracks. 1t hasn't much tail
or bristle, but plently of gall. 1t will
lick a wolf or a bear in a fair fight. 1t
is so called razor back because 1t is
shaped like sunfish. In hunting razor
backs they are shot at sideways,
for there is not ghost of show to
hit them otherwise, any more than to
shoot at shingle. 1t can drink milk
out of quart jar on account of its
long, thin head. This type Of razor
back is known as the stone hog because
it's head is 50 heavy and its nose SO
long that it balances up behind, The
owner of this type of hogs usually ties
a stone to it's tail to keep it from over
balancing and breaking it's neck while
running. If the stone is too heavy
1t will pull the skin over it's eyes and
1t will go blind. Mineral Wells Index.

OLD JEwELRY COMING IN STYLE

And now tiaras and other adornments
which belong to this era of glitter may
have to take a back seat for brooches.
bracelets, chains and rings like those
with which the women of cultered
Rome and aesthetic Greece were wont
to enhance their otherwise simple
makeup. The reason for this change,
which more than one seer propesies,
Is due to the recent purchase made for
the greater glory of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. and which includes
jewels worn 2400 years ago by women
of high rank. Even though the gems
are lacking in CLEAN and sparkle due
to the modern lapidary's skill such
exquisite workmanship is shown in the
dull yellow gold in which they are set
that it is no wonder that diamond
strings are losing favor in beauty's
sight. It looks as though manufac-
turers and importers will have to go
in for Grecian renaissance. "And can
these marvels Of Greek workmanship
be imitated?" serious beings will ask.
Why, of course.-New York Press.
