The next day Mrs. Brown found just
how capable Estelle was In an emergency.
The guests arrived on time and found
Mrs. Brown In dainty frock waiting to
receive them in the parlor. Estelle had
decided she would not appear on the

served. Then she'd meet Uncle Ned and
Frank at table.
After everything was in readiness, even
the ice cream packed in ice in the cellar.
EStelle ran out on the back porch to cool
her face bit before calling the guests
to dinner. The flower beds in the rear
yard were still in bloom. untouched by
frost yet. and Estelle decided to
gather another handful of posies for the
table, though she had already placed a
great bowl of them there.
Just as she was STOPPING to gather some
of the finest flowers she heard a step be-
hind her, and, looking around, beheld
tall. handsome young chap of about sew
enteen years of age. A smile fitted over
Estelle's face as she rose and bowed low

won. The fact that the other fel- lows are jumping on him so much is evidence that he is regarded as very strong factor just now. What they are digging up on him is only helping him win the race. They are advertising him. If you want to know something about Dona- aghey, ask a Conway man, one who has known him for the past twenty years. We might say ask his friends from Conway, but then that would mean practically any man, woman or child from that place. His home record is the best record any man has, and this is helping Donaghey as much or more than anything else.
 He is the same man today that he was when Davis made his speech at Conway. Davis knows it and knows that Kirby would tumble to his suggestions much quicker than Donaghey would. The fact is, when Donaghey takes his seat next January, he will be governor. He will listen to his friends and en- deavor to do what is best for the people, but he will be governor.- Prescott News.

THE SAME DONAGHEY.

The press of the state Is recalling the words of one Jeff Davis few years ago when he was making a public speech at Conway, Ark. when he used the following words
 Excuse me, ladies and gen. tlemen, but l want to refer to one ot your most distinguished citizens. 1 want to refer to a man who has stood onehanded and fought the biggest gang of boodlers and thieves that ever invaded our state. He defeated the $500, GOO appropriation bill that Caldwell & Drake tried to poodle through the last leglsla- ture and this man saved the tax payers of Arkansas hundreds of thousands of dollars-I refer to honest George w. Donaghey.
 He has made a gallant fight against the Capitol steal. MT. Donaghey has saved the state hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of dollars, to say nothing of the shame and disgrace that would attach to the state of having the biggest scan dal on American soil today"
 Of course Senator Davis would not attempt to deny that his state ment was true and is true today, but we are just wondering if he can find as good things to say about Kirby when he stumps the state for him. He can say some good things about Kirby of course. be- cause Kirby is a good man, but can he say any better than he has said about Donaghey.
 Donaghey has clean, clear re- cord and his race is practically
