the cause of it all. Keep the kid

well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
]. P. Anderson, carpenter, liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
My Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
loins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy

AN IMpEHTINENT INQUIRY.

The Graphic is inclined to the opinion that Senator John c. B. Simms. in the introduction of his resolution to appoint a committed to visit Corpus Christi, Tex, and inquire into the condition of Gov ernor Little, is seeking notriety by sensationalism. There is no warrant for such an investigation, and the inquiry is impertinent. The sick room should be sacred, even from a legislative Investigating com mittee. 1t matters not what is the cause of Governor Little's illness, or what his present physical condi- tion, the affairs of the state need not suffer. Let the legislature pro- ceed in the usual way to elect a lieutenant governor and then dur ing the sickness or absence of the governor, the affairs of state can be conducted in the regular and con stitutional way. Some two years ago while the writer was spending a winter at Las Cruces, New Mex ico. Governor Jelks of Alabama, was an inmate of sanitarium for tuberculosis patients at that place, spending nearly d year, and during his absence the duties of governor were performed by the lieutenant governor, and the affairs of Ala bama were carried on in the usual and constitutional way.
 There is no need, therefore, of such an inquiry as senator Simms proposes. Let the honored governor of cur state alone in his sickness and trouble, and let not his suffer ing or peace of mind be disturbed by any impertinent and inauisltlNe intruder. If the governor is i'll, let him enjoy nndisturbed the peace and tranquility of his sick-foom and give him every opportunity to recover. The Graphic extends its good wishes to our governor in his far-away sanatarium in Texas, and in common with the good people ol Arkansas, hopes for his speedy TO covery and carly return to his na- tive state.

 He speaks of the two tasks to the accomplishment of which the people set thcmsolyes-that Of se- curing independence and that of achieving 'ahe national unity and the capacity for orderly. develop ment without which our liberty, our independence, would have been curse, and not a blessing. Nir- ginia, he tells us, produced the hero of both movements, "the hero of the war. and of the peace that made good the results of the war George Washington. He then adds:
 "The two great political ten dencies of inc time can be sym bolized by the names of two other great Virginians - Jefferson and Marshall-from one of whom we inherit the abiding trust in the people which is the foundation stone of democracy, and from the other the power to develop on be- half of the people coherent and powerful government, genuine and representative nationality.
 It is the reference to Jefferson we have particularly in mind in calling attention to this passage, says the Washington Herald. When he was young-it may be he would now himself admit it were perhaps better to say callow- his torian, the president was not wont to consider Jefferson and those of his school in this complacent mood. Jefferson he looked upon as a weakling, on whom pusillanlmlty was not far removed from at least constructive treason. In "The Win ming of the West" he speaks Of "politicians of the infamous stripe of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison Elsewhere he says that Jefferson twas perhaps the most 1n- capable executive that ever filled
 
 the presidential chair"

 in every political campaigns, he is q "booster' for home and country and his keen eyes the safeguard of public interest and morality.
 Being so generously endowed with self-assuranee and comprehensive wisdom, it is no wonder that the aver age newspaper man cherishes the be- l lief that he would make a successful farmer. To be sure, not many of the
 cult have ever acquired the knack of milking a COW in fly time or steering blow across a ten-acre field. But those are mere minor details. He knows the men who sell live stock at the yards and he has boundless conti- dence in his ability to superintend the destines of a blow. There are few newspaper men but have nurtured in l1o.., oe4t f ple life in field and meadow. The peace of bucolic existence, the scent of wild flowers, the independence of proprietorship and the invigoratln2 wholesomeness of the open places ap- peal to his poetic soul. Of course, he can farm.

\ REAL ESTATE SCOOP

What may be termed in journal istic parlanee as .big scoop was accomplished Wednesday by our contemplating real estate dealers, Leitner and Well, when they pur- chased from Major Hum forty lots in the Pine Bluff Land company addition, as chronicled in The Graphic. This property is located near the old Citizens park, or more particularly, between Seventeenth and Twentieth avenues and Elm and Mulberry streets, and is one of the prettiest sections of Pine Bluff for residential purposes.
 Notwithstanding Leitner and Well paid a good round price for this property, The Graphic has in finite faith in the future of Pine Bluff and there is no doubt but what they will make good on their investment. This property will be laid off into lots 60 by 150 feet and placed on the market and will no doubt find eager pur- chascrs. In the future it will prob ably be one of the prettiest resi- dential sections of the city.

Though d Married Man, the Head of Fashionable Episcopal Church Runs Away With
 a Young Girl.

New York, May s.--Members of the fashionable St. Georges Epis- copal church at Hampstead, l.. l., were astonished today when they learned that their pastor, the Rec. Rev. Jolin Rhode Cooke, had de- parted from Hampstead, and that Miss Floretta Whaley also had left her Home and had written letters saying she would not return.
 The Rev. Mr. Cooke is married to daughter of Rienzi A. Clarke of Hartford, Conn. She left Hemp stead some time ago, and is now at her fathers home.
 That no official cognizance is to be taken of the mysterious de- parture was made evident from a formal statement which was issued today by Bishop Burgess of the diocese of Long Island. He says that immediate action will be taken by the vestry of St. Georges s church to fiji time vacancy caused by the departure of Mir. Cooke.
 Think Pastor Insane. ..The vestry is overwhelmed by 1 the unexpected calamity said l Bishop Burgess, 'and is at loss to account for it. l am inclined to the belief that Dr. Cooke cannot be of sound mind.
 Three years ago he was in trolley car collision and he has been a neE- vous wreck ever since. He had a leave of absence for a year and went to Europe to recuperate, but his con dition since bis return has been poor. The church and it's property are in the best of condition. The funds are intact
 { Accodrin~ to stories which were circulated freely in Hampstead today the infatuation of the minister for Miss Whaley has been apparent Tor some time, and was the cause Of Mrs. Cooke's leaving for her fathers home It was said that the young woman grandmother, with whom she made her home, became aware Of the lnfat- nation some time ago, and asked the minister to cease his visits.
 Young Woman Has Money.
 Nils sWhaley left her home several days ago, saying she intended to visit friends in this city A little later the grandmother received letter saying that when it was received they would be out of the country.
 Mir. Cooke was curate at Grace church, Baltimore, before he received the call to Hampstead.
 Miss Whaley's father died a year ago, leaving her and her elder sister an ample fortune. It is said that each will be worth $125,000.
 Mr. Cooke is 36 years old and has been married for five years. Miss Whaley is not yet IS.

Akeley Tribune = Inspector
Mullen of the postofice depart
ment was in town Saturday look
ing after q few cases of violations
of the postal laws. The offenders
are mostly those who send
things away and enclose brief
note with the same. It is custo-
mary for the offender to say
''Please send premium No. X'' or
similar notes when enclosing
tobacco tags, syrup tags, clipped
trade marks, etc. Even a short
note like that renders it liable
for the letter postage. The only
permissible writing in matter of

party or parties to whom the
articles are sent. Printed mat

Of correspondence, whether writ.
ten with pen or typewriter, rend-
ers the package liable for the
first class rate of postage, which
is two cents per. ounce. AS the
difference is so slight it does not
seem to be good plan to try to
get the lower rate and take the
chances of being caught. The
fine for each offence $40.
In the cases which had been
brought to the attention of the
postal authorities and turned
over to Inspector Mullen for in
vestigation, he found that the
violation was not willful one and
be settled each case accepting
the fine of $40 provided for such
violations. AS the Inspector is
provided with all the evidence in

to collect the fine, or in case of
refusal to pay to take steps for
the guilty party's arrest. This
information is generally obtained
at the delivering Office. At the
present low rate postage it is
cheaper to pay the higher rate
than take chances on being
caught.
