New York. Jan. 9.-On top of Oscar

through dispute between some of
Mr.. Hammefstein's grand opera sing
ers and the United States customs au-

officers that several of the singers

Company After Being Enjoined

Why the United States Express
company has abandoned the local field
after all arrangements were complet

to local merchants. The company
had contemplated the use of the in

agent named Tnien was sent here and
prepared to open an office in the Co

a room on the South Seventh street
side. This was not done, however,
and the agent went ahead seeking an
other location. Within the past week,
he received instructions to abandon

REAL LITERARY LABOR.
Example Of Charles Dudley Warner's
Infinite Painstakina.

Example OF NnATIeS OuoIey "arueTo
Infinite Painstakins.
The extraordinary pains and patience
with which Charles Dudley Warner
did his literary work are shown in an
Amstel magazine of the strenuous way
in which Mr.. Warner produced an
obituary notice some years ago.
Professor Edward l.. Youmans was
a close personal friend of Mr.. Warner,
and on that account when Mrs. You
mans died the editor of a daily paper
asked Mr.. Warner to write a sort of
personal appreciation of her. This he
consented to do.
he was left alone from 10 a. m. until
half past II, when he went to lunch.
Returning at , o'clock, he worked
without interruption until O'Clock.
when he turned over to the editor
what he had written.
Yet the work was not complete. Mt.
Warner read the first proof and in sue
cession three revised sheets.
Each time he made change after
change in phraseology. seeking out the
one right word, while even in the
nicely Of paragraphing he seemed to
make clearer what he desired to ex-
press. Nor did the close revision end
with the marking of the last proof.
After the paper had gone to press
and the first sheets had been brought
up to the composing room for an o. K.
Mr.. Warner looked wistfully at the
editor and observed:
"Would you object to lifting the
form? I see a sentence in the last
paragraph that might be- somewhat
changed. She was too good. you know.
to have a slovenly tribute paid to her. -"
Even the printers refused to get an
cry over the delay. and forthwith the
form was sent up and changes went on
for an hour. At last. though publica.
ton was delayed fully two hours. the
editor. but not Mr.. Warner, had the
supreme satisfaction of knowing that
the work was as nearly perfect as hu.
man art could make it. and the edition
was sent out.

A Correction.

A tired traveller in a small hotel was
awakened in the morning by heavy
pounding on his door and the voice Of
the old man night clerk saying: "F'ive
O'Clock! Better get up. or you'll miss
your train"
The traveller didn't intend to catch
a morning train and hadn't given any
instructions that he should be called
at the unearthly hour Of o'clock. so
he paid no attention to the old mans
early morning greeting and was. asleep
again almost Immediately.
In about fifteen minutes he was
again awakened by the pounding on
his door and heard the voice Of the
old man saying alphabetically: Don't
get up. I raped on the wrong door,"

There is q curious tribe Of people IN

scale of humanity are they placed that
they may not even speak with stran-

Of a man Of the lowest caste above
their own. OF late years their status
has been improved. and they are less
servile in consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people of the lowest

proach Of a traveller they shout to
warn him to stop until they can get OF

Of dedlement from the proximity Of

characteristic Of society in all coun-

The following was left over
from Jim Wasson's Mobley COR
respondence last week:
Bob Rogers is a candidate for
prosecuting attorney down at
Little Rock. His defeat for gov
ernor four years ago was a
calamity from which Arkansas
can never fully recover. In
sending US a few copies Of his
magazine once he wrote friend
~ and sympathetic letter men,
tioning the lines:
"Of all the liars meath sun
and stars and beneath the world 8
esteem, including the liars who
lie by faith and liars who lie a
,dream-the liars who lie for fun
you know, the liars who are SUI
preme, the campaign liar with
his campaign lie tops the billowy
cream. Chiefest of all meath
the sun and stars and those that
give and take, is the liar by
night, the liar by day--the liar
who lies awake. Yea, the liar
who believes while he lies that

paign liar with his campaign lie,
doth make and take the cake"

THE PUBLIC ROADS.
Citizen Of Calamine Believes Couutv
Should Employ Competent
Road Builder.

Editor Record: Some time
ago we noticed a nice little arti-
Gle in the Record from the Shell
.byvllle correspondent in regard
TO the roads. We agree with
MN on some things at least. We
say there are too many roads to
work in Sharp county for the
amount of tax and hands. and
we believe the proper thing to do
would be to kill some of the
worthless roads and put in all the
money and labor on the others,
If this were done we would
have better roads.
However, We will never have
good roads under the present
road law, and our Shelbyville
friend stated some solid truth
ABOUT the way the hands come on
the road and put in their time.
We pay taxes and work four days
out OF the year on the roads, up
70 a certain age, Our opinion on
the matter is we should paw
enough tax to work the roads by
taxation entirely. And then let
the county hire regular road
builder and let him see that roads
are built right.
Without this we believe we will
never have roads worth any,
thing.
