 They cant keep up the continual strain.

 Claud Clegg, of the Pine Bluff Paint & Wall Paper Company, AT Main street, and living at 116 West Eff teenth street, Pine Bluff, Ark, says. For about a month I was considera- ply annoyed by a pain and lameness across my kidneys. Stopping owe" and attempting to straighten up would cause sharp pains to dart through me like knife thrusts. Having heard many satisfactory reports about Doans Kidney Pills from people wGo had used them l gave them a tclai, and less than half a box of them caused the lameness to entirely dis appear There has been no return of the trouble since, and l have racom- mended your remedy to number of my acQuaintances and shall continue to do so.''

PROSECUTING A PREACHER.

PROSECUTING 4 PREACHER.
 Before he entered the ministry tde Rev. T. A. Miller of certain village in South Dakota was house painter and paper hanger.
 Because his salary was insufficient 10 support his family he has been coH pelled to work at his trade during the week.
 It is noted that his congregation made no special objection to Mir. Miller's week day industry. It hurt their pride somewhat, but it eased the financial burden of the church. And you | know
 The jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that honor feels"
 One day, however, the preacher be- gan the job of painting and decora ting saloon.
 Horrors,
 The members of the official board met in pious assembly and decreed that the pastor must resign or be fired" They ordered him out of the parson- age. They sued him for $25, alleged back rental for the use of the par sonage. Afterward they withdrew the suit and paid the costs on agreement that the preacher should vacate in eight days.
 1t does not appear that the hard working pastor drank liquor in the sa- loon. No one accused him of that l. further appears that the saloon was closed for business when he did the work.

But these modern Pharisees, so con- | cerned as to the mint, anse and cum. in" and indifferent to the weightcl | things of the law. these sapient pie lists, would rob the stalled OK of his ffsfeed. Of course the laborer was wo" | thy of his hire and the reverend work man had earned it by the sweat of his | face. But papefing q saloon-thev drew the line there! That congregation ought to have been proud of their plucky preacher Not every gospel minister would be will ing to make so great sacrifice in O. der to preach his message on the Lore! $ day.

 He who saw at glance the mean ness in mems hearts would have told l them, as he told the pharisaic hvpo. critics of twenty centuries ago. that they were whited epnlchers-clean on the outside, but inwardly filled with dead mems hanes
 And in the .iudgment-
 Who would not rather be in the shoes of the poor. patient preacher than in those Of his piOus prosecutors?

JAMES K. JONES.

Former Senator Jones of Arkansas, who died yesterday, was a man of abil- iV and high character, and for many years served the country well in na- tional office. 4 thorough partisan and a vigorous fighter, his views were yet broad and his impulses patriotic. He Is entitled to rank with the most use- ful men the South has contributed to our national life since the Civil War. In the House he rose to influence, and in the Senate, where his opportunities big party's leaders. He never replied to the criticisms leveled against him as the manager of the Bryan cam Daign of 1896 and 1900, resting philo- .sophically and serenely, as he was jus tified in doing, upon the record as it was known to those whose opinions he valued. As matter of fact, he did with the resources at his command all that any man, and very much more than any of his crltlcs, could have done in his place. Success was not possible in either year, but defeat under a less capable general might have been annihilating. Mir. Jones management, quite as much as Mr. Bryan's eloquent stumping, explained the six millions and half of votes recorded for the ticket in the first year of MT Bryan's supremacy Washing ton Star.

 The Pine Bluff delegation brought 1oS voters to this city. who are pledg- eG to vote for that city as the 1909 convention town. The Little Rock delegation announced recently tha: it would support Pine Bluff almost tl man and t is generally cor- ceGed that Fort Sn,sh will line ID for the Jefferson co,;.lty metropolis. II speaking of the bright prospects that present them,v,v a1 this t ne in the direction If Pine Fluff Meyer Solmson, one os the most IT, t,rsiastic workers from .ha. me * C. the woods" said .ast night:
 Ut is never wise to count the chicks before they hatch, but son can rest assured that Pine Bluff has already secured enough vote; to win CT the first ballot Travai::I.g men all over the State favor our city as the next meeting place. For three successive years our city has made a determined effort to secure the con vention, without success. We made up our minds that Pine Bluff would have 1t this year and we are bound to make good. Little Rock, it is said, will invite the Travellers to meet there through it's commercial bodies, but the travelling men as a
 whole, favor Pine Bluff. and will vote that way. To give an illustra- tion of the sentiment that exists there, it might be mentioned that many of the Little Rock travelling men came over on the Pine Bluff special today and asked to be listed as pledged voters in the Pine Bluff caucus, which will probably take place this afternoon. They are wear. !, ing Pine Bluff, 1909" badges and are urging all others to support onl city.
 Last year Fort Smith won the convention with the united support of Pine Bluff, and We firmly believe that the Fort Smith members will reclprocate. In fact, we have been assured of the solid support of this f clfy. The convention, in my opinion. should be passed around. It's Pine Bluffs turn. By sending the con vention to different city each year returning to each town in rotation the Travellers enlarge enthusiasm and create more interest in their fast growing organization. There has been some talk that Little Rock wants to make that city the per- manent meeting place of the Tray elers. This is absurd There is no reason why Little Rock should make such demand of the Travellers. Be cause 1t is the capital is no reason why this should be done. Fort smith, Pine Bluff, Newport, Helena. IeXarkana, Hot Springs and other cities in the State are as deserving of the meeting as Little Rock. Pine bluff is the winner. That's q ceY- ttainty"

ell one motor boat aud nearly capsized

The oldest fishermen never have seen
anything like it. The 6sh's head Was 3

tine, with spiny back flo; bis tail was
like whales, four leet long and six
fett broad.
Ii took the two tishermen's motor boat
three hours to tow the carcass ashore.
The fab was cut up. It's liver, weigh.
