COLLECT HISTORIC LAMPS.

Collecting historic lamps is one of the new fads, or rather the collecting of replicas of historic lamps, since only in rare cases can the genuine article be obtained. An Italian am- bassador has just presented to we'll known American woman, who was hospitable to his staff upon certain occasion, huge Pompeiian bronze lamp, the like of which one may ad- mire in the grand vestibule of the Quirinal. Mrs. Larz Anderson, who passed several years in Italy, has gathered all sorts of lamps in present use and those of ages long ago. She has some treasures which were used by Etruscan women, who were fa1 in advance of their day in the matter of brooches, hairpins and bracelets.

CARRYING TOO MUCH WEIGHT
Discovery That Caused Mir. Portling- ton to Consider Precautionary
 Measures

''Within the last year or two" said MT. Portlington, ''I've noted a growing snugness in the fit of my garments. 1 go always to the same tailor and have my clothes made from the same measure, and so l came to recognize finally that 1 was growing stouter. Certainly my clothes couldn't be growing any smaller, made always from the same patterns. but 1 filled them out more l was certainly growing bumper.
 "'My good boy I said to myself, that's your good living, and grate- ful you ought to be with health and happi-and some slight portliness. I smiled when l thought of my hav- ing some plumpness of figure.
 ''This morning to my dismay l discovered that 1 cannot cross my legs over quite as far as l used to-. Yes, sir; that's what 1 mean, l found that I couldn't cross my legs over as far as I used to; the leg that 1 used to be able to throw clean over l now find stops sort of naturally on the other knee! In other words, without my having realized it, l have coma to have more than some slight portliness of figure; am get ting fatl
 'This may not seem matter of grave importance to you, but it IS to me. The snugness that before had made me smile now strikes me as warning, and from now on there's little more of labor and less of good living for your Uncle Port lington."

EDITORIAL

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES
 In a recent editorial in his paper the Paragould Soliphone, Col. J. R. Taylor says:
 Governor Donaghey has exert ed every power at his command to fire the dishonest contractors of the new state capitol. He has ex- hausted every resource, both as a private citizen and as governor, to rectify the blunders already made. It is now up to the legislature. If it refuses to obey the expressed will of the people, if it persists in turning deaf ear to reason and common sense, if it cares so little for the states interests that it is willing to continue compact with self confessed boodlers who have been practicing fraud on the peo- pie, let 1t bear the whole burden of the odious deal. The people of Arkansas had reason to hope for better things from this general as- sembly. They have spoken once on this question. They will speak again; and next time they will call out men who have more re- spect for their commands.
 It should be explained, how ever, that this editorial appeared before the passage by the senate of the Patterson bill, which conforms to the recommendations urged by Governor Donaghey in his inaugu- ral address. It looks now as if the legislature has gotten down to real business, and we believe that the long drawn-out state capitol con- troversy will be satisfactor fly set tied within short time.

either

that the usual services, either morning or evening, on some con- venient Sunday be dispensed with, in order that a mass meeting or union service may be held at one of the churches for the purpose of organizing local charity associa- ton.
 We do not believe there would be any objection upon the part of even the most devout to the trans action of such business on the Sab bath-in our opinion, the worship of God could scarcely take on a higher form than the providing of intelligent and systematic means of caring for our unfortunate fel- low. creatures who may be in dis tress. Our reason for suggesting such a time and place is that bet ter attendance could be secured, and it is eminently fitting that such an organization should be formed in a place dedicated to the highest purposes of human life.

WOMEN LAW CLERKS.

While there are comparatively few women lawyers, the sex is said to be in great demand as clerks in law offices. These clerks have a finer grasp of detail than many of tho men clerks and for that reason arc preferred in many offices where neat ness and accuracy are of the greatest importance.

Influence of Sen. Hale

So far as we are aware. there may
be no truth whatever In the reports
from Washington that Senator Hale
has held up political appointment
because the recipient of the office OPP
poses his sons candidacy for Con-
gress in the First Maine district. True
or not, the incident which has been
given widespread publicity, has
served to emphasize afresh the un-
kindly feelings held against the Sena-
tor not only by his immediate con-
stituents In Maine but by the country
wide constituency whose interests he
is supposed to serve
Briefly summarized, 1t is perfectly
evident that the country as whole
is not kindly disposed toward Sena-
tor Eugene Hale. Take the State as
a whole and she Is not over-kindly
disposed toward him. OF course,
others may differ with us; that Is a
right every man and every newspaper
