have no objection, Of course, to
the editor of the Mammoth
Spring Democrat supporting
Manning. If that paper wants TO
turn down its home man and SO
to the south end Of the district,
there to pick up an unknown
man for Congress no one can
object. We would suggest how
ever, that in its fight on Oldfield,
which it is waging bitterly, in
deed, the Mammoth Spring Demo-
crat should confine itself within
speaking distance of the truth.
And, again, it might be a wise
idea to cease a little Of its fulsome,
disgusting and nauseating flat
terry and praise Of Mr.. Manning.
Its readers might discover that
the Democrat is overdosing the
white paint for Manning and the
black for Oldfeld.

HINEMON IS CLEAN.

We beg to call our readers at
tention to the fact that there is
but one. man in the race for
Governor against whom no
charges of serious nature have
been brought during the cam
paign, and that man is Hon. John
H. Hinemon. The other two
candidates have charged each
other with enough to prove con.
clusively that neither.of them is
worthy of election when there is
a clean, able and honorable man
in the contest. Mr.. Hinemon is
not a professional politician nor
habitual office seeker. He is not
allied with any political faction,
and there are no strings to him.
He has taken no part in the polit-
ical strife and bitterness which
has cursed this State so long.
He declares that if elected the
politicians will take a back seat
and that his administration Of
the affairs Of State will be one
in thaintorsst Of TIC Whole peo-
pie. He declares, il elected, he
will use his utmost power to re-
unite the Democratic party,
put an end to all pickering and
strife within its ranks and bring
about a state Of peace. These
things make him most deserving
the support OF every citizen who
has the interest of the State and
people at heart. Mr.. Hincmon
has a large number Of supporters
in Sharp county, and we sincere
ly believe all our people might
vote for him with the feeling that
they were casting ballot for the
ablest, and by far the cleanest,
man in the race,

it is a mystery this paper is not

very true, but 1t would be a
great surprise If the young
gentleman who is allowed to
dictate tho editorial policy Of the

would be supporting Bob McFar-
lane today If jeff Davis were

Senator Jeff Davis does not

There is one thing about Tom
Herrn that no one can deny. He
has less of the demagogue about
him than the average man who
holds or seeks public office.
When Tom Herrn makes a speech
or issues an address he deals In
straight facts and INDUCES in no
ounoombe, olap-trap or rank
spell'binding. He is always a
strong candidate, too, and in the
present contest II Is safe TO say
that, in Sharp county at least, he
is stronger than ever.

Awed hy thu Beau.

When Beau Brummel, the celebrated
dandy, was, in consequence Of his
fallen fortunes, residing at Calais, he
had occasion to visit Paris. Through
the kindness of the consul at the for
mer place he was enabled to accom-
pany a kings messenger to the capital
and thus travel free of expense. When
the messenger returned, the consul was
curious to know how he and his aris-
tocratic companion had fraternized
upon the road. "What kind of trav-
cling companion did you find Mr..
Brummel?" asked he. "Oh, very
pleasant one, indeed, sir; very pleas
ant" replied the messenger. "Ah! And
what did he sayT" "say, sir? Moth
ing! He slept the whole way" "slept
the whole way! Do you call that be-
ing pleasant? Perhaps he snored!'
The messenger acknowledged that
Brummel did so, but Immediately, as
II fearful of casting an improper re-
dection upon SO. great a parsonage, he
added, with great gravity, "Yet I can
assure you, sir, Mr.. Brummel snored
very much like a gentleman"-Ar

A Bibulous Lord Mayor.

l. Any one with love Of queer names
should study the names Of past lord
mayors Of London. Besides one or two
that are merely uncommon and did
mot belong to men Of any distinction,
such as Sir Richard Spaa, mayor in
1852, there are some that deserve no.
lice also for the sake Of those who bore
them. There was Sir John Brugges in
1920, whose ancestor fought at Agin-
court, when, curiously enough, the
name had the more modern form of
Bridges. There was Alderman Mica
5ah Perry in 1879, who laid the first
stone of the Mansion House, and Sir
Benjamin Hamet, who was fined FL, 900
in 1897 for refusing to act as mayor
positively cheap way of getting out
of It.
The most appropriately named lord
mayor seems, however, to have been
the cheerful Sir Robert Viner, who en-.
tertained Charles II. and drank the
kings health so often as to become un-
duly merry. The king tactfully sought
to retire, but Viner plucked him by
the sleeve and vowed he should "stay
and take the other bottle" Charles
III, never at loss, complied, murmur-
ing, HE that is drunk is as great as a
king."-St. James Gazette.

What He Did Know.

st. Thomas Episcopal church, in
Fifth avenue, has under its jurisdic-
ton an east side chapel. One Of the
features Of the chapel Is gymnasium,
in which boys are trained in all of the
branches of physical culture. Some
Of the boys are quicker in this sort of
training than they are in the more
polite talk Of the west side boys.
The rector of st. Thomas, the Rev.
DR.. Stires, visits the chapel frequent
~ and is fond of talking with the
lads about their work. He said to one
little fellow who halls from near the
East river:
"Well, my son, they tell me you won
quite victory in your last contest
with the boys of rival school"

A BAD Guess,

John Hawtrey was one of England's
famous whipping schoomasters. At
Elton in autumn the small boys used
to buy chestnuts and roast them in a
shovel over the fire. One day boy
named T., who was great favorite of
Hawtrey's, had lot Of chestnuts and
as special favor was allowed to make
use Of the pupil room fire while the
boys were all studying Hawtrey was
going in and out of the room while
we were working, and on one occasion.
coming In rather quietly, he caught
sight Of f. kneeling over the fire ar
ranging his chestnuts. The boys posi-
ton was Irresistible to any lover Of the
art of chastisenent. Not seeing his
face and supposing it was one of the
other boys stealing the chestnuts, John
Hawtrey quietly took his cane from
his desk and, creeping forward on tip
toe, gave the wretched F. a most ire
mendous Whack. The boy jumped up
with a yell, his hands clapped behind
him. Then the tutor saw who he was
and said, embracing him:
"Oh, my poor boy! I am Sc sorry!
I thought it was another boy stealing
your cbestnuts."
We, of course, were all delighted and
reared with laughter.-London Graphic.

Danton and tho Organ Grinders.

Paris has more than once made war
ON organ grinders. There, as here, they
have their enemies and also their
champions. The war, however, is an
old one, and politicians had time to at
tend to it even at the height of the
revolution.
No less man than Danton then took
the part of the musicians.
"CitiZens,' he cried from the tribunal,
II hear that an attempt is being made
to prevent the organ grinders Of Bar
barry from playing their tunes as usual.
Do you think, then. that the streets OF
Paris are too gay? Have the people OF
Paris too many songs Oh their lips :
One after another our liberties are be-
ing wrested from us. Leave us at
least the liberty of listening to the Or
gaDs of Barbary, of hearing from them
our favorite songs and refrains."
Danton was guillotined for reasons
with which this speech had nothing to
do, but the Grafton containing these
sentiments was the last that he had
the opportunity Of delivering as a
member Of the convention.-Wes
ster Gazette.

Hotel Accommodations In India.

All over the world Indian hotels
have bad name to any one who has
been used TO a moderate degree Of com
fort and good feeding. They are for
the most part disgrace. Why people
should have to pay from 10 rupees to
25 rupees a day in the cold season and
from rupees to II rupees a day in the
hot season without receiving comfort
and good feeding seems at first difficult
to answer. AS a rule, the feeding IS
most inferior, badly served up, table
cloths and napkins frequently dirty,
not to speak of the knives, forks.
spoons and tumblers. Bedrooms are
badly looked after, and unless one has
a very smart bearer it is difficult to re-
ceive proper attention. All this should
not be for such prices as people pay.
In many third rate boarding houses in
England one could get presumably as
good as what is got in some of the
so called first class hotels in Calcutta.

The Arti site Poison.

be the drug for landscape painters,
but unfortunately, whatever other
things drugs do, they never increase
efficiency. 1t was first discovered

The Ualiest Beast.

Probably the ugiest beast in the
world is a monkey, grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque beast
that it would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see it. The
ugliness is not Of an amusing kind, but
of an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has a sort of beard and a countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is SO hideous that
the natives of its country, South Amer
lea, say that no beast Of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even hungry
jaguar will starve in cageful of sakis.
