His Billiken

T have got to get me a Billiken,'
said Jinx, as he stopped to KISS MS
wife goodby before starting LOT MS
Office last Monday morning.
So far as Jinx' remark went II
landed properly, but as Mrs. Jinx at
the moment of the aiming OF the KISS
took a sudden notion to turn and as
certain II It was possible to see her
self in the mantel mirror across the
hall, the kiss drew moist line across
her starboard cheek, lodged beneath
her ear, and exploded innocuously IN
her back hair.
"And what in the world Is Bill
ken?" queried she, turning In light
ming effort to catch the already un-
puckered pucker of Jinx' lips.
"You don't mean to say that you
don't know what Billiken Is! A
Billiken is a sort Of good luck IDOL

been perched on my desk yesterday
when we went to visit our folks in the
country l would not have been butted
into the hog lot by the goat, chased
beneath the barn by the old boar, nor
would have played hole In the

a Billlken?"
If l were to buy one It would spoil

when 80 out to lunch"

Addresses Another Letter To The People

Little Rock, Feb. %, 1909.

+ Editor Record: ALLOW me a
small space in your paper. Last
week we had hard fight in the
house on the prohibition ques-
ton. This question had not
been mentioned to me by my
constituents, except by one man,
trust a good friend OF mine, but
after close study of the question,
and after studying the best in
terests of the state, | was bound
to vote for statutory prohibition.
Of course this is an important
question, and am sure the peo'
pie will not all he pleased with
nv vote, Notwithstanding which
fact | was bound to vote and
work for the passage OF a meas
ure that will have a tendedcy to
lessen poverty and crime in our
state. have not, nor do | in
tend to, say word or cast a vote
that | will not defend.
Mr.. Editor, have one propo-
sition that | desire to submit to
the people of Sharp county, and
that proposition is in regard to
the passage of law making it
the duty of the county judge to
act as road commissioner, with a
small raise in his salary, and not
allowing him to pay the overseers
until he has accepted their work.
| have been asked by some to in
troduce this kind of a bill, but ]
do not feel disposed to raise any
ones salary unless the people
want it done. | would be glad to
have an expression from as many
of the people of our county on
this proposition as possible. If
they want this law, ! will give it
to them; if they do not want the
law, ! will not. ! am quite sure
there is one part of the PROPOSE
tion that will appeal to the minds
Of the people, and that is the
raise OF the judges salary. 1t is
an evident fact that our county
is not in a financial condition
that would justify much of a
raise in any ones salary, but If
the people will take the pains to
examine the Acts Of Arkansas
they will find that our county
judge receives less compensation
than most any Of the county
judges OF the state. This being
the fact, | cannot see my way
clear to place upon him tho re-.
sponsibilities Of road commission
or without raising his salary. |
would like to have the opinion Of
any one who feels disposed to
write me relative to this or any
other matter pertaining to the in
terests OF our county or state.
