oUlLLBACK BUYS A NEW CLOCK.
Then He Shows False Economy of
Keeping Old One Too Long.

cat last" said Mr.. Quillback, I'VE
have bought a new clock, and good
ness knows we needed it.
THE old clock was a small round,
nickel-plated timekeeper we had had
for some years, and in the course of
time it began to show signs of wear.
But we hated to go to the expense of
new clock as long as we could make
that one do, SO we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
a year until finally it got to be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought a new clock
And then l did little figuring. In
the course of a year l had spent an
average Of five minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 800 days,
making, to save the cost of a new
clock, gross total of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You di-
vide this by SO and you find that had
spent IN shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than 25 hours!
Now, in the way of income, you
know, l don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
that sort of folks, but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
of so cents an hour l find that I have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only SO cents!
"Of course, buying the new clock
when we did instead of year sooner,
we saved the wear on it in that
period, and if we count the life of
such clock at say ten years we find
that we have thus saved about seven
cents worth of wear on the new clock,
and this, properly, of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save SO cents we have met
with net loss of s12.43, to say moth
ing of the wear and tear on US caused
by the aggravation of having to shake
the old clock up every Day and make
it go!
I'VE had been, as in so many ways
we are prone to be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and we haven't got to shake
the old clock up any more, anyway"

Finishing Work on River Bank.

Pine Bluff.-The work which the
government is doing to protect the
river front in Pine Bluff to prevent
further caving is nearing completion
on the first contract, which provides
for constructing revetments along the
river front for about one mile. This
work will be completed this week,
when the brush mattresses will be
constructed from the foot of WalnuC
street. where the caving began, to
the south side of the bayou, which is
the eastern limits of the present dan
ger zone. This line of mattresses, 100
feet wide, will be sunk with piles of
rock, making a firm foundation for
the work which will be done along
the river bank, which will be sloped
and paved with rock. In addition to
this it is hoped that Congress will
pass bill introduced by Congress
man Joe T. Robinson appropriating
S250,000, which money will be used
in Strengthening and extending the
work.

Caruthersville Democrat: Will
burn Harkef, u young man of Ken
nett, was seriously shot last Thursday
morning by "a party or parties, at
present unknown. The difficulty oc-
cured just south of this city, outside
of the corporate limits, on the river
bank, al what is known as the big
Eddy" This place is the haunts of
the "red light classes of the under
world, and being on the Mississippi
river, it is hard place for the officers
to watch. Young Harkey, in company
with another young man from Ken
nett, went to this place about = O'Clock
in the morning, and reports say they
cut shanty boat loose, which started
row in which Harkey was shot.
The ball entered the right side of the
body below the nipple, and, at first,
it was thought the wound would prove
fatal. The young man was carried to
his room at the Majestic hotel and
given surgical attention.

Platt's Mistake

Thomas c. Platt is mistaken in assuming that Africa will eliminate Mir. Roosevelt from New York pol itics on the principle that "when man in politics stays outside the organization for more than a year he is mighty apt to stay out for all time."
 MT. Roosevelt has no intention of staying outside the organization for a minute. He controls it now, and his satraps will remain in charge. Loeb is now the boss of the custom house and the custom house is the driving gear of the New York machine.
 In less than two years MT. Roosevelt will be back, aged 52, ready to succeed Senator Depew or to take possession of any office of profit and trust that appeals to his fancy as political and faunal naturalist.

He added that the ex- presidents name would pass into history as that of the man who caused incalculable commercial and financial damage to America.

Copper Queen Wins

Judge Doan has rendered decis- ion in the famous Copper Queen back tax case, giving judgment in favor of the Copper Queen. Colonel Pickett, on behalf of the territory, immediately filed a motion for a new trial, which was denied, where upon notice of appeal was given and the court granted the attorneys until October 1st in which to file transcript and appeal papers.
 This case is famous in the tax history of the territory and has been pending since 1901, during which time it has been foremost in the district and supreme courts. Judge Nave rendered a decision last year in favor of the company and later reversed himself in favor of the territory. The new trial has now resulted in a decision for the company, but according to Colonel Pickett the litigation has not ended and he is confident of a favorable decision in the supreme court, being by no means dis couraged.
 The total amount involved in the suit originally was $99, ,391.33. and it has now reached a total of $225,- GOO, including all costs, penalties, interestand commissions. It is not thought that final decision can be reached on this case for at least three years. and will call for final deciee at Washington, in the high est tribunal in the United States.

Newspaper Support

A newspaper, if it has any brains, conscience and muscle back of it, must continually decide between do- ing it's duty and iniuring it's pocket. In any position but that of an editor the public is able to separate the individual from the collective citi- zen. But if an editor does not please them, it's at his pockets they aim. Thus it is the newspapers learn who their friends are. The man who reads the newspaper and admires 1t all the year round, yet gives his business support to some other concern, whose principle or the actions of it's editor he detests, is not not friend to the former newspaper. Admiration alone will not run newspaper. There are too many men who expect an editor to slave in defense of their pet notions and hobbies, advocate their views against the strongest oppo- sition. and coolly withhold their business support by which alone country newspaper can live.
 Talk about a paper having pub lie duty to perform, and an editor having to work for his principles, is cheap when others stand back and extend lukewarm neutrality. The result is the editor may starve while laboring for his principles and the cause of right and justice which they admire but do not sup port.-Exchange.
