Worth Waiting For.

II am proud of my business" says
William j. Buttling. the manager of
f'aa"-' siand's Dreamland. Life with
oTr wholesome amusement would be
dreary thing, as dreary as the town
OF PEBBLES. A drummer, after a hard
days work there, started out in the
evening to look for some amusement
In the empty street he saw but one
man, very old man, and he said to
this graybeard: What time does the
theater open?' 'Theayter?' said the old
man. We have no theayter here
Well, the music hall, them? The ola
man shook his head and frowned, No,
no. he murmured, there's nothing OF
that kind in PEBBLES But, goodness,
gracious exclaimed the drummer,
have you no amusement at all in this
placer oh aye, said the
other. If We wait till eight o'clock we
can see them shift the freight train"

IN PRAISE OF THE BORE.
One Man Rises to Defend an Unpopu-
lar Character.

Stevenson has apologized for the
oilers and the thieves and the canni-
balls. but even that most charitable of
men had never a good word to say
for the bore Neither in life nor in
literature have we ever found man
bold enough to speak well of him;
the crook may be forgiven, but the
bore never is. Poor devill How all
the world is against him. And yet
this is scarcely just; for in his way
he is an excellent thing; an honest
creature. He is what he is God
made him a bore; he struggles not
against his destiny, but a bore he re-
mains; there is less of hypocrisy
about him than about other men; he
conceals nothing from his neighbor
that interests himself; out of the kind
ness of his heart he passes on his own
experience; he is generous of himself;
he has a message and if the hints of
his hearers should cause him to abate
one syllable of it he would feel that
he had been false to his mission; the
little insincerities with which more
gnoble men jolly the hours along are
beneath him. Look at his motives
and you viii see that he is unjustly
used; We all of us know him, and we
should treat him with more charity,
or upon occasion We have all been he.

Magazine.

BEN GRIFFIN SPEAKS

Jonesboro, March 3.-Ben L,
Griffin, state secretary of the
Farmers Union Of Arkansas, ad-
dressed a crowded house Of
farmers and business men of
Craighead county at the court
house here tonight, and his ad-
dress was applauded throughout,
Mr.. Griffin spoke in defense Of
himself and the organization
which he represents, and his
speech was in answer to the
speech of Senator Jeff Davis here
this afternoon, in which Griffin
was attacked and not allowed to
reply.
Griffin said he has never asked
a member of the Farmers Union
to vote for any candidate for
political office, but to the con-
trary has endeavored in every
way to keep the farmers out of
politics. He characterized Jeff
Davis as political dictator and
told of the Senator's efforts to use
the Farmers Union as q stepping
stone in his political schemes.
He said Davis had offered to
place him on the Davis ticket for
the office of secretary Of state
and on Griffin's refusal Davis
tried to induce him to consent to
run for state auditor.
He said he could produce the
proof that Davis said he would
never allow the Farmers Union
to vote for Donaghey and that he
would kill the Union first.
Mr., Griffin spoke in the interest
Of no candidate, but simply in
defense of the Farmers Union.
After the speaking about 100
members of the Farmers Union
surrounded him and gave him
three cheers.

Work OF Hardy Council.
Mrs. G. Nj. BYRD.

The city council was in session
Monday night and transacted
some business, The first thing
they did was to slip up on the
ball players and prohibit catching
ball on the streets, declaring it to
be u public nuisance, Next they
took a shot at the younger boys
and declared the playing Of mar.
bles on the streets to be a public
nuisance also. OF course the
measley cur could not escape
their notice and the master must
now pay a tax on his canine,
The dog tax has been q law Of
the town for number Of years,
but has never been enforced
very rigidly. Hardy Herald.
