GOVERNOR WON'T CONSENT
Will Not Permit Glove Contest to be Pull
 ed Of Tonight.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-Special.- Governor George w. Donaghey late yesterday afternoon, after a lengthy conference with Angelo Mare, the promoter of the Sulll- van Wolgast glove contest sched- uled for tonight, announced there was not going to be fight if he could permit it. The governor in timated he had whole lot of ways he could pervent the fight, too, if driven to them. Gov. Donaghey was importuned at various times Of the day by influential persons to permit this bout to take place, but to them all Governor Donaghey stated he thought the people of the state are against the game and there is law against it, so as long as he is governor the law will be en- forced. This was the last resort of the promoters of the fight, so it is a certainty the Capital theatre, where the bout was scheduled to be held, will be dark tonight.

NOT DRUGS
Food Did IL.

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case OF
chronic and apparently incurable con-
stipation yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in few days.
From early childhood | suffered
with such terrible constipation that /
had to use laxatives continuously, 60
ing from one drug to another and suf-
fering more or less all the time.
"A prominent physician whom I
consulted told me the muscles of the
digestive organs were partially par
alyzed and could not perform their
work without help Of some kind, so |
have tried at different times about
every laxative and cathartic known,
but found no help that was at all per-
manent had finally become dis
courag2d and had given my case up
as hopeless when l began TO use the
pre-digested food, Grape-Nuts.
Although had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested immedi-
ately from the hrst, and in few days
was convinced that this was Just
what my system needed.
"The bowels performed their func-
lions regularly and am now com
pletely and permanently cured OF this
awful trouble.
Truly the power of scientific food
must be unlimited. "There's a Rea-

LOW BR0WED DINNER
FOR T0PL0FTY RICH.
Description Of Banquet Which
Was Certainly Not Spoiled by
an Overweight OF Intellect.

At a dinner given in a restaurant
recently the hostess planned the
menu as carefully as If at home. The
decorations of the table were thought
out by her.
There was a low mound of orchids
in the centre of the table. Across
each plate lay an American Beauty
rose Of the regulation size and length
of stem, but made of satin and silk.
On each leaf in gold letters was
printed one course of the menu. At
the back OF the rose was a cotton
filled recess which just before the
guests sat down was sprinkled with
rose extract, so that even in odor the
American Beauty was natural.
That was surprise number one.
Surprise number two came when
what was apparently a croquette was
put before each guest. In reality 1t
was made of some sort of composition
and opened in the middle, showing a
folded, very narrow, long strip Of
white paper, on which was written:
Bryan is in the soup, not in the cro-
quette." AS It was just two nights
before election, this was timely and
not displeasing to the guests, who
were all Republicans.
Another surprise was the serving
of dinner rolls in each OF which was
chunk of lead, giving unexpected
weight to the roll. 1t was the jol-
Hest of dinners. and yet the four men
present were all men Of affairs past
their first youth a good bit. Count
ing the reishes and a vegetable
entree, there were just six courses,
and the guests sat down at and
finished their coffee at 10

WISE WORDS.

A soft answer never has a sting
in 1t.
self-esteem does not develop self
reliance.
Courage IS simply the conquest OF
our fears
knowledge is power only so far as
it is practiced.
Kicking ceases to help when It be-
comes a habit.
Self-depreciation soon ceases II it
be not contradicted.
You can complete a good work, but
you can never end it.
Conscience is simply our sense Of
moral social responsibility.
No man bears his burden better by
adding your blame to it.
Life is pretty sure to be tragedy
to those who take it only as a play.
The far-off vision comes half way
to those who follow 1t faithfully.
Many think they are going forward
bravely because they fear to go back.
It's a poor kind Of piety that seeks
all the pleasures and lodges the
pains.

ourselves is that they are sins against

but sometimes the innocent suffer

vice which should speedily become

to let a persons hand through. The
cage is detachable and fits on the
base through the engagement of
strips of spring metal which run

holds the paper in place and there
is no danger Of a gust Of wind taking
