LEGISLATOR PLAYS WITH FIRE
Representative Ard Attempts
Derision of Governor
And Quickly Learns that House is in No
Mood for Trifling with Chief
Executive,

Little Rock, Fe5. 10 Special
Pooling with Gov. Donaghey or
making light of his principles is
worse than playing with fire, as
was shown in the house yesterday
afternoon when what Representa-
tive Ard of Jackson county claim
ed he intended as mere pleasant
ry, was turned into seething mon
ster and soon dispatched by the
swarming members of the house.
Representative Ard sent his resolu-
ton to the clerk to have it read.
The clerk started out to read the
usual "Be it Resolved, etc. ," about
Governor Donaghey taking charge
of all branches of the state legisla-
ton and that he should be imme
diately crowned king, the legisla-
tors resign, go back on their oaths,
bow to the king and go back
home.
The resolution was read only a
part way through when half the
members of the house were on
their feet, yelling at the top of
their voice for the speaker to put
stop to the reading OF the resolu-
ton. Speaker Brown was making
big dents in the bench before him
and the reading finally ceased.
Speaker Brown rebuked the
member who offered the resolution
and stated that at no time VIII lie he
is a member of the legislature will
he permit the name of the govern
or to be besmirched III the house.
Several repre- sentatlves also de
nounced the resolution and in as
strong terms ur held the governor
in his every action After the ses
sion representative Ard defended
his resolution by quoting from an
article in daily paper IN which
Governor Donaghey was alleged
to have charged the legislators
with being afraid to do their duty,
and stated that his resolution was
merely to let the governor know
the legislature can attend II its
own business.
Another Fling at Governor.
Little Rock, FEB. 10 Special
In the house this morning
Roundtree of Clark, Thompson
Of Independence and Shackleford
of Clark, introduced resolution
in whio b an alleged interview by
Gov. Donaghey charging the legis-
lators with playing politics and
being afraid to tackle tne tax levis
ion proposition, is quoted and de-
clared an unjust criticism OF the
house, as there are three bills
pending which have as their object
the tax revision. Gov. Donagney
declined to discuss the proposition,
but stated he had said nothing
which would offend or hurt the
feelings of anyone.

A story is told of certain young
man of our city who is much infat-
uated with a young lady, also of
this city, and naturally desired a
lock of her hair to look at when
lonesome. Not being able to get
the lock, he drafted the young
lady's little brother into service.
He promised the boy a quarter If
he would furnish him with lock
of his sisters hair. The next
time the young man came down he
was met by the youngster, who
said: Say, l found out where sis
hangs her hair nights, and |
took the whole works. "-Russel-
