Primary Law Not Amended.

1t seems to be the opinion in many
quarters that an act was passed by
the recent legislature amending the
primary election law of the State.
This is not the case. There was a
bill introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Rowland for that purpose on
January %, and read twice and re-
ferred to the Committee on Elections.
On February "a the committee re-
ported the bill with an amendment
and recommended its passage. The
bill was withdrawn at the request Of
the author and was never re-intro-
duced The act provided for the
legalizing of all primary elections,
for all offices.

Has Not Been Changed.

Has Not Been Changed.
The great seal of the state of Ar
kensas that has been in the use since
the admission of the territory into
the Union is still being daily affixed
to official documents in the secretary
of states office, notwithstanding the
recent legislature authorized a change
in the Latin motto in order to make
it correct. The reason the change
has not been made is that the legis-
lature failed to make an appropria-
ton for the purpose. The cost of
a new state seal would be about $40.
The secretary of state could have the
seal made and pay for it out of the
contingent fund of his Office, but as
this fund is not very large and will
probably be exhausted before the
meeting of the next legislature, the
secretary does not feel justified in
spending any of it except what is
absolutely needed for his Office. The
change made in the seal by the spec
ial legislative act simply consisted of
substituting "Regnat Populus,' "The
People Rule" for "Regnant Populi,"
THE Peoples Rule" There was
much discussion in the newspapers at
the time the act, which was intro
duced by Senator John P. Lee of
Monroe county, was pending. Many
of the older citizens wanted the mot
to to remain as originally agreed up
on, contending that it represented the
will of the fathers of the state. 9th
ers wanted the motto to be expressed
in English, The People Rule" How
ever, the majority in the legislature
insisted upon "Regnat Populus," and
the act was passed and approved by
Acting Governor John [. Moore, but
the old motto remains unchanged and
will continue so until the General
Assembly makes an appropriation to
carry out the provision of the act.

Farms Of Sweet Peas.

Sweet peas have SO divisions and
some 300 subdivisions. In California,
where almost all the flower seeds are
grown, one farm Of 500 acres is given
up to the production of sweet peas
alone. The total production yearly is
about $4,000 pounds, and even when
this amount is augmented by the yield
from smaller farms 1t is almost i'm.
possible to meet the demand.
Sweet peas are the most popular
flowers in America for home gardens,
except the nasturtiums. and even
these cannot always compete with the
sweet peas.
Where country air and sunshine
abound sweet peas hold unrivaled su.
premacy. and nasturtiums are in use
for window boxes and scant little city
gardens, where small back yard
must do duty for flower lover.--Los

The first day Mark remained about

Toward evening, having put things

lighted candle and placed 1t beside
him on the box. Suddenly he heard
a sound as of some one coming
through the underbrush. This remind
ed him that he should have had fire
built in the little stove. because the
night was frosty, and his companions
would feel the need of a warm Gre on
their arrival. Hastily grasping the
candle, he stood 1t on its end inside
the stove and closed the door, which
was fitted with small windows Of
mica.
Just then his two friends rushed in,

beastly cold, they each In turn held
their hands over the little stove, from
which the light as.of brisk fire bright
