The DeliKht of Mud.

Washingt ton Post.
 The Swiss professor who says Ameri- can children arc kept too clean, and thereby started on the high road of olly-coddleism, hits the nail on the head. Children. instinctively obeying a great law of nature. despite hRical mothers. hunger to get back to the earth, to wallow and wade In good, clean dirt, and to daub themselves from their dear little toes to their ln- quisitive noses in good rich mud. The frilled-up. speckless, spetless kid Is parental crime against nature. crime for which the child must pay in after life
 There are three great, looming events in a boys life. The first, perhaps. is the moment when the despised dresses are discarded for the first pair of troHs- CTS: the second is the thrilling hour of the first circus: but none of these events can compare in utter happiness with the first time a kid, escaping from mothers too watchful care. in complete abandon and sweet defiance to domestic tyranny, gets his fill of the ecstatie delights of clean dirt and luscious mud

FROM SNODGRASS

Editor Picayune: Dear Sir. Since prosperity went to seed and fell down on us it confused great many of us. but where there is d will there is way. The farmers are class of people who relish news. They love to see man come along from town and tell him what is going on in town. The Daily Picayunc Is now filling a long-felt need with farmers as well as with other peo- pie We don | have to take out horse from a blow, pull the coculburs from his tail, saddle and go to town and get the news We just wait until J., the rural man, comes along with the Plea yune l tell you that all along the line the people are waiting at the box for both. When the rural route and the Daily Plcayune were first established the People did not fully realize the benefits to be derived. But with these 6 and ] on the route, thousands of dol lars arc being saved by the community in keeping the farmers at work. The news, as given m the Daily Picayune. and good farm work IS all we need at this season of the year.
 Now. MT Editor, you no doubt have noticed the dullness of trade in Pres colt. and you see but few people in ,f bI f0lE
 This k not due to any enmlty existing between the town and the country peo- pie If the season continues favorable We are going to make good crop this year. and this fall We will come into Prescott, rub shoulders, get off the black list, and things will move on inst as though there had never been any confusion The lion and the lamb will lay down together and take snooze. Now. MT Editor. l don't write this ar tiele because l think l am smart at all. but t Is to please the boys and-are my sentiments. too The Bible says where there Is little given, there i
 little required, and the strong in the in faith must bear the infirmlties of the weak. So you see have the bible behind me in every article I write don't deny sleeping on one-legged bed steads, dancing on puncheon floors have an old-time punchen floor put away think 1t must be the one that the girl stood on when she asked Sal to hold her potatoes while she danced with the man that had on store clothes and chewed bad tobacco.

MERRY WIDOWS UNDER THE BAN

Burlington, N. J., April 20 Several local churches have pro- posed a ban upon Merry Wid- ow" hats in the congregation during services. Pastors declare that men are becoming fewer at the services as the number of big hats increase and the popular style threatens to make many of them backsliders.
 Ushers in some of the more crowded churches were at their wits end to seat the Easter con- gregation. Seats which comfort ably accommodated six persons hold no more than four when the quartet wore large hats. In prom inent churches hereafter it is pro- posed to request women who wear big hats to church to check them at the cloak room during services.

BUCHANAN DEFEATS
 BOB WILLIAMS For Sheriff of Garland County Supreme Court Gives
 Buchanan Office

By the decision of the Supreme Court yesterday morning Sheriff Bob Williams loses in the famous and much-tried contest case to determine who was the duly elected candidate sheriff of Gar land County in the general cleo tion of 1906.
 By the terms Of the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court so much of the judgment of the lower court as declared Buchan- an the regularly elected candi- date, is affirmed; that portion of the judgment, however, which awarded to Buchanan the sum of $7, 776 19, together with the or der of custer against Williams, was reversed, the court holding that the jurisdiction or the low CT court had been exceeded in making such order. It Is now in orde" for the governor, under the statute governing in such con- tested cases, to annul the com mission of the present incumbent, Williams, and to issue to Buchan- an commission as sheriff, fail ing to dc which, 1t will then be- come necessary for Buchanan to press his claims in a suit insti- tuted in the circuit court to secure custer and judgment for dam ages. This, in q nutshell, is the opinion of the court.
 The ease, which has been tied up in court for more than d year, is one of the most celebrated con test cases that has ever been heard in the State and has been discussed pro and con until the details are pretty generally known. It has embodied several particularly interesting features and has resulted in some novel charges in npolitical manipulations The end Is not even yet, should the appellant in the case decide not to give up his commission, and an additional chapter may be added. However, as to the mcr- it's of the case, the opinion of the court is final.
 ELECTION IN 1906.
 At the 1906 election in Garland County, s. A. Buchanan and k. l.. Williams were rival candidates for the office of sheriff and col lector. On the face of the re- turns, Williams was elected, the vote standing 2, 495 for Williams and 2, 146 for Buchanan, and his friends claimed fraud had been practiced and instituted a con test. This was brought first in the county court, the body having original jurisdiction in the case. Here Williams won and the case was carried by appeal to the Cir cult Court, where 1t was heard anew. and where Buchanan won, the verdict including three fea- lures as follows: that Buchanan was regularly elected, that he should recover from Williams the sum of $7, ,776. 19, the amount of net profits accruing to the of flee from October 1906 to Sept. 1907, and ordering Williams busted from the office of sheriff.
 Attorneys for Williams immed- lately appealed to the supreme court, where a writ of supersed- eas was issued, staying judgment until the case could be heard III that tribunal.
