But Senator Spooner succumbed to
tradition, swallowed his animOsity, took
the arm of Senator La Toilette with q
fine bow and a flourish and the two
statesmen from the Badger State met
ell the requirements OF Senate prOprie-
ties. Spooner appreciated the joke and
Wlnked one eye at the press gallery
While the solemnities were on.
Clarke Walked Alone.
One Of the most interesting cases in
connection with this Senate custom
which has even arisen was that OF
Senator Clarke Of Arkansas. That was
in 1903 His colleague then was Senator
Berry. They loved each other with a
beautiful antipathy. Berry offered to
escort Clarke to the desk, but Clarke
would not accept the invitation. Sena-
tor Clarke asked one or two other DEM
ocratic Senators to perform he cere-
monY, but they were so embarrassed by
II that he walked TO the desk alone
Generally, Senators swallow their
IeellnSS IN such cases. 1t is well known
that the two Texas statesmen, Bailey
and Culberson, are not carried away by
affection for each other. But when SEN
ator Bailey was last sworn in, two
years ago, Senator Culberson did the
honors as gracefully as might be and
them, in spite of that Il hope you
choke" feeling.
Dolliver, Too, Yielded.
1t is well known that Jonathan p.
DOlliver of Iowa has small regard for
hiss olegue Mr.. Cummins. Still, early
last December and again March 4, he
performed the duties Of escort and
looked pleasant, though It had not been
long before when he was busily en-
gagged in lamhasting Mr. Cummins on
the stump with fine flow Of the most
heartfelt vituperation.

ARCfN1A FANS
 RtS4lAG:. EASY
Glad to Learn That Pine Bluff Fans Give up Hopes of Taking Over State League Team.

Argenta. Ark, May Hast night just before President Hurst of the Arkansas State League left for St. Louis he sent the following telegram to T. Havis Nixon of Pine Bluff:
 Your alleged message to me as appearing in Gazette and Graphic not as vet received at this office. Desire to inform you that positively no one will be present at your meeting to- night authorized to represent this of flee or the league.
 ,SignedD w. W. HURST, Pres. v
 Later the message was delivered to Mir. Hurst and he advised MT. Nixon of it's receipt.
 Persons interested in Arsenta base ball franchise this morning received word from Pine Bluff that they had given up all hope of securing berth in the State League and all arrange ments to this end had been discon- tinued. This was good news to Ar genta fans, who have felt for some time that they were being double crossed" but did not understand from what source.
 Manager Riggs stopped in Arsenta yesterday and made a report to J. B. Sibeck, business manager of the Ar genta team. which was very encour- aging to the local association. Since they have been convinced there is no effort on the part of the league to transfer the local franchise they have signified their willingness to come to the front with the necessary finances to maintain the team for the rest of the season.
 The association is having a num- Der of tickets printed which will be placed in the hands of the fans of Argenta, who will make a systematic canvass for the sale of the same for the opening day of the game Of the series when the Blondes return to Argenta on May 2, and by this means it is thought a considerable sum will be raised.

IN RMORY OF BROTHER RAY.

Written by Mrs. E. L. Leslie. DeKalb, Mo. With aching heart, these words l write. Of dear Ray as be sleeps in peace tonight, For sadly on the morn of May 2nd.
 1909. His spirit fled to that summer
 cline Over two weary anxious years, Climates and medicine, all we tried, Struggling hard for existence here But alas of life on earth he's de-
 prived. Kind friends would try to cheer. And help him bear his sad lot: By bringing tokens of love so dear, To lessen his burdensome thoughts. Dear parents and sister nave o CT nm
 kept.
 Constant watch both day and night But slowly that terrible disease crept Until it took his life that gave us
 light. Rays loving life countenance with
 us stays,
 Though God has called his spirit
 away, And now we lonely. good byes. say. Till we all meet again on Judg-
 ment Day.
