As result of the illness of Gov. Jno. $. Little, Arkansas is paying the regular governors salary to two men. The last legis- lature passed a bill allowing Gov. Little his salary during his illness, but made no appropriation for the salary of the lieutenant governor. Paul Little, private secretary of the governor, has been drawing his fathers salary every month and forwarding it to his mother at Greenwood. Acting Gov. Pindall has been drawing his salary as governor from the contingent fund, but reports from the state capital say that this fund is about exhausted. The Journal believes in liberality, but we see no neces- sity for the state paying double salary for the poor service she Is getting.

The fruit growers of Benton and Washining counties are strictly in the swim this year. They have a bumper apple crop, ,and the fruit is selling at $3 to $4 barrel. One man near Rogers recently sold his apple and peach crop from 8 tif- teen acre orchard for $2, 900 which as little more than $133 an acre. The peach crop is fine also, and the canning factories are paying $1 bushel for peaches. Suppose the country northwest of Newark was dotted with fine peach or chards and there was big canning factory here to can the fruit and put it on the market. There is no reason why it should not be so; and it would be wonderful help to the community, financially.

ONLY RELIGION

The following expression of Justice Brewer, of the United States supreme court on the sub- ject of religion will be found to be good reading:
 Il don't care anything about creeds; 1 haven't time to quibble over theological questions. If 1 had the leisure 1 fancy l should find theology to be good intellec- tual exercise. 1 could be comfort. able in Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist or Catholic church and even in a Jewish synagogue. l was reared Congregationalist, but if my father had been an Episco- palian, 1 suppose 1 should have been one. 1 believe in the creed of Jesus Christ, the parable of the good Samaritan and the Golden Rule. No more is necessary on this earth. 1 fully accept the teachings of Christ's life, although l am afraid l don't always live to them. But life is the most import tant human question-to be kindly and helpful. There is no theology in binding up a mans wounds, comforting and assisting him when opportunity offers, and in doing good for the elevation of humanity. That is not theology; it is religion"

In the federal court at Chicago

In the federal court at Chicago last Saturday, the Standard Oil Company was fined $29, ,240, ,000,
 the maximum amount on each of the 1,462 counts of the indict- ment on which the company was recently convicted of relating un- der the Elkins law. A few fines like this will doubtless cause the Standard to sit up and take notice.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION

Every State in the Union will, at comparatively early date, be free from the legalized liquor traffic. is a statement recently made by Chas. B. Jones, of Chi cago, chairman of the National Prohibition Committee. Mir. Jones bases his optimistic prediction on the action of Georgia in enrolling itself among the dry States.
 Winning of the battle for pro- hibition in Georgia is the opening gun of the final assault on the liquor traffic in all America, said Mir. Jones. It is the direct re- suit of the persistent and intelli- gent educational ampaig n throughout the nation.
 The first effect of the Georgia victory, Mir. Jones thinks, will be felt in the other Southern States and the liquor question will be the main political issue before the peo- pie at an early date.

The Sick chlnaman.

Perhaps nowhere in the world is
family affection stronger than among
the Chinese, yet their method Of deal
ing with the sick is pitiable to the
more enlightened world. When a ia
vorite son falls Ill his life depends
largely upon package of joss sticks
The grieving father seeks joss house,
procures handful of these sticks and,
taking them home, lights them. He
shakes them gently. Soon one falls.
Is it lighted? Eagerly the father
watches it. Will it burn to the end
or go out? II it is entirely consumed
the son will survive; II 1t goes out he
will die. 1t goes out!
The Chinaman reasons thus: His son
was chased by devil and when the
devil touched him he became Ill. The
devil demonstrated by means Of the
Joss sticks that his son must die. Had
the joss sticks burned to the end it
would have signified the future recov-
cry Of the patient. Joss men would
have been called in, a most fearful
din would have followed, and the dew
Il and all his lower imps would have
been driven away.-New York Herald.

NUMBER 36.
The Rulino Passion.

A celebrated musical critic was mar.
ried in church some years ago, and
after the ceremony, as the wedding
procession marched down the aisle, the
organist played the wedding march
from "Lohengrin." When near the
door, the bridegroom stopped in the
march and addressed the wondering
assembly thus:
II know am committing breach
Of etiquette as well as propriety in
doing this, but 1 am not to blame. 1t
is my mental organization which has
become inenably sensitive by reason
of the critical nature Of my duties"
Then he drew from the pocket of his
dress coat a well thumbed copy of the
score Of "Lohengrin." Opening it at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
what offended my ear was the fact
that In the seventeenth bar Of the da
capo passage you fatted very badly,
and In the andante movement You
slurred the appoggiatura. Now" put
ting his finger upon the passage, "let
us try that again."
Once more the organ pealed forth,
and this time the player, conscious
that the great critic was listening to
him, accomplished his duty with credit
to himself and to the great satisfac-
ton OF the critic.-London Standard.

ENOS JUDKINS THREW HIMSELF HALF UP
horse might git scairt an the owner be
pesterin' us bout damages. Come" as
Reuben stood silent, but with an odd
look on his face. Didn't ye hear me
tell We to be gittin' off to bed! An
don't come home tomorrer till the last
O. them big stones is drilled"
Reuben slipped quickly from the
room, glad to escape any direct ques-
tions. In spite of the hard work and
lack of commendation, he had never
tried to evade the truth. Enos Judkins
was suspicious by nature and some
times not overscrupulous, but he knew
that he could trust the boy to do just
as good work when off In a field by
himself as when In full view Of the
house and that whatever the boy said
could be relied on as being absolutely
true
"Be ye goin' to let Reub help set the
rocks off" asked Mrs. Judkins as the
receding footsteps grew fainter up the
attic stairs. Powders mighty unre-
liable for boys to mix up with"
"Reub's snfe enough grufiiy. '.He
helped me last year an has helped 9TH
er folks. He don't do so much work as
he ought, but he's better'n the com-
mon run O. boys. An don't mind
sayin' he drilled them rocks quicker'n
I'd "a b'lieved anybody could. IT he
finishes 'eln tomorrer-which, of course,
he can't--I shall be with him the day
arter to look out for the blowin'."
At that very moment Reuben was
throwing himself upon his cot bed in
the attic, shaking with merriment. Not
come home on the morrow until the
last one Of the rocks was drilled!
Lucky Mr. Judkins had been too busy
to go to the road pasture during the
last few days, and lucky that tree
grew just outside his attic window, 81
he could shin down when he wanted
to do llttla extra work by moonlight

She Wanted a Book.

A fashionably dressed young woman
came hurrying into a bookstore re-
Gently and approached a salesman with
the statement: II want to get book
it's red book-not very thick! No, !
don't knuw the name of it or what 1t
is about, because haven't read It. It
has picture in the middle Of the cover
at least l think it is a picture-it Is
something round, done in gilt. 1t may
be the name.
II wish you would hurry and hunt up
the book, because I am taking train
to New York and want it to read on
the trip. I saw some one reading 1t
on the train the other day and laugh
ing over 1t, and that's why I want it.
'iOf course l am not expected to
know what 1t is, but should think any
one who knew books and was handling
them all the time ought to know!
mo, I don't think it was either Of
those books-it was thicker than that
one and more on the cerise shade than
that one.
"Well, can't wait any longer for
you to hunt it up."
: As the young woman passed out Of
the shop she turned to her companion
and remarked audibly: Strange how
stupid some of these clerks are! Well,
I wasn't going to really get it anyway.

Incidental Music.

One afternoon couple from an ad-
joining town presented themselves to
a Boston divine and-asked to be mar
ried just as he was about to enter the
pulpit to conduct an afternoon service.
The minister replied that he regretted
that he could not at that moment COM
ply with their wish, but that immedi-
ately upon the conclusion of the serv-
Ice he would take pleasure in perform
ing the ceremony. The lovers, after
demurring, seated themselves In the
rear of the church. When the minister
had finished the service he made the
following announcement: .The parties
who are to be joined in matrimony will
present themselves at the chancal inn

thought you cared for such things. But
how'd you come to hatch out such
plan, Enos?''

ooh. yes. We know that boy Reub
did the firing. And l must say he's q
prime hand at it. Some of the smaller
boys started for your place at the first
explosion, but when they got in sight
of the field the air was 50 full of rocks
and smoke they got scared and sour
ried back. Then some of lis older ones
went out and saw your boy Iseub run
ming the field like an engineer at his
throttle. Well, it was certainly great
plan"
but tell We t was Reub''-
"Tut, tut! You've been having those
rocks drilled for two weeks past. I've

sion in two weeks. Needn't talk to me-

The Rosetta Stone.

The Rosetta stone was found in 1890
by French engineer officer in an ex-
cavation made near Rosetta. 1t has
an inscription In three different Ian
guages, the hieroglyphic, the demotic
and the Greek. 1t was erected 195 B.
G. in honor Of Ptolemy Epiphanes be-
cause he remitted the dues Of the priest
" body. The great value Of the Roset-
to stone lies In the fact that 1t fur
nished the key whereby the Egyptian
hieroglyphics were deciphered.

Cake. and SAUSAGE. In Germany.


Germany is the land Of variety In
sausages and cakes" said William
George Bruce. when made my visit
to that country recently I took occa-
sion to eat at restaurants in practical
ly every city came to. I am not
stretching it bit when I say that in
one restaurant In Dresden there were
200 varieties Of sausages on the bill Of
fare.
''The same holds good Of cakes. You
enter a restaurant or bakery in which
coffee is served. The obliging waiter
will set before you specially designed
cake holder on which the several va
rieties are placed in convenient tiers,
SO that you pick out any kind you
want without disarranging the whole.
There is another feature of restau-
rant customs in Germany that struck
me as out Of the ordinary. While per-
haps dozen cakes are set before you
to choose from, you only pay for the
exact number you eat. When you are
done with your luncheon the waiter
will count up what is remaining and
Charge you for the difference

A Rhymjno Will.

Perhaps the most peculiar will ever
written was prObated in England at
doctors commons, July II, 1889. It
ran as follows:
I give and bequeath,
When I am laid underneath,
To my two loving sisters, most dear,
The whole of my store,
Were 1t twice as much more,
Which Gods goodness has granted me
here.
And that none may prevent
This my will and intent,
Or occasion the least Of law racket,
With a solemn appeal
! confirm, sign and seal
This the true act and deed Of Will Jacket.

Early Australian gold diggers made
many contributions to the slang Of
that commonwealth. One Of these
was shouting" or standing drinks for
everybody within hall, practice of
which the lucky digger was very fond.
To refuse to drink with digger who
had 'struck 1t rich," or turned up a
big nugget, was deadly insult. A
critic quotes from ]. F. Hogan's His
