 It looked like pleasant evening not And MT. Rangle suggested that they order the dinner.
 After debating everything on the card, they ordered fricasseed chicken, as it was about the cheapest thing.
 The waiter was misinformed. The chicken wasn't good
 There's one piece of bread left" said Mir. Jarr. with forced gayety. Whoever eats it will be an old maid"
 Whoever eats the last piece will make happy and prosperous mar rinage," said Mrs. Rangle. And both she and Mrs. Jarr reached for it, and compromised by breaking it in half.
 Funny you women should be so su- perstitious! You both are married" said Mir Rangle.
 We may marry again, and have bet ter luck next time" said Mrs Rangle coldly.
 Oh, it was jolly dinner party. MT Rangle paid the check But that was because 1t was only s2.10. Mrs. Jarr said
 There is nothing like going out with your friends and having a good time.

HOW HE SAVED THE CIRCUS
Wonderful Story Put Up by Owner Called Forth High Compliment
 from Editor.

Willis Cobb the circus man told this story:
 Years ago he was travelling through the south with a wagon tent show and the press agent among other glow ing accounts of whats coming" an- nounced herd of 20 camels from the sandy desert of Arabia"
 When the show reached town, in- stead of 20. there was but one sickly camel. Some of the country newspa. pers paid no attention to this slight discrepancy, but when Cobb entered the office of Georgia country editor he was mad enough to fight.
 T saw your parade, sah," said he, "and you lied to our people I've a good mind to roast you Where are your 20 camels you made my paper say you've got in your show"
 ''Tll tell you how 1t was," explained Cobb. When we passed the swamp on the way here 1t was full of alliga. tors. and without the slightest warn. ing they leaped upon the bank and devoured all but one of the camels We put up a brave fight, but it was no use"
 The editor gazed at Willis 8 couple of minutes and then said: You're good one. You ought to be a Geor. gia editor. Come out to my house to dinner to-day. I want to introduce my wife to the biggest liar on earth. She'll be glad to meet you"

When we celebrate prosperity we seldom save anything for rainy day. The r2n who works for the best gen orally gets it while the other fellow is hoping for it.

II IuS hduSltS Wduteu us IO ldh6 dinner with them, why didn't they in vite us to their own homer" asked Mrs. Jarr. II know how this taking dinner in restaurant will end. It will mean that we will pay the check"
 You were present when the matter came up," said MT. Jarr. They asked us to have dinner at their house, and you said it would be such bother for Mrs. Rangle, and suggested we all go dine together at restaurant"
 Well, 1 didn't suggest we should pay for it' said Mrs Jarr. I'm sure these Bangles could do that much. We have entertained them dozens of times"
 They've entertained us too," said NIT. 'arr.
 'Asd why shouldn't they?" replied Ars. Jarr
 There being no reason why they shouldn't, MT. Jarr did not answer, and Mrs. Jarr continued:
 And don't you be fool and insist on paying. If the Bangles want to dine at restaurant let them pay for the check"
 Don't you think the best way for us to do would be to divide the ex- pense?" asked MT. Jarr.
 No, I do not. Nobody ever does anything for us," said Mrs. Jarr, "and, besides, I'm very short this week and l have no money to pay for expensive dinners in public restaurants. Let the Bangles pay for it. They suggested it."
 You suggested it." said MT. Jarr.
 But they asked us to dinner at their house, and she has no girl and she always has chicken, and I'm tired of chicken" said Mrs Jarr. Her chicken is always tough and half cooked, tool"
 Well we're escaping that" replied MT. Jarr, "so don't get peevish."
 'I do get peevish because you are such a softly you let everybody impose on you!" said Mrs. Jarr. If we have to pay half the bill don't see what advantage there is in going out n dinner with other people. When one is afraid one will have to pay the bill one orders all the cheap dishes, and doesn't order very much at that Oh, well, l don't suppose there is any use to worry. But you mind what I say, and don't insist on paying for every thing"
 Al this juncture MT and Mrs. Ran gle joined them and the two-family party went downtown together
 You order" said Rangle handing the menu over to Mir. Jarr, when they were seated in the restaurant.
 No, you order" said Mir Jarr.
 'I wish we hadn't come to this place, I'm not at all dressed" said Mrs. Jarr as she glanced around
 Neither am l." said Mrs. Rangle but we're just as good as they are"
 What do you ladies want?' asked Mir. Rangle.
 Jarr of the waiter.
 The waiter had nothing but praise for the chicken. He worked there, but he didn't eat there
 Well, I won't have any" said Mrs Jarr. "The only person that knows how to cook chicken properly is Mrs. Rangle. You must tell me how to do it, dear! Look at that woman over there. Just look at her!" Mrs Rangle looked and Uttered
 Never mind the people here" said MT. Jarr, what are you going to or der?"
 If you were here alone you would be minding them." said Mrs. Jarr ''But when you are with your wife and respectable people,

 PC8lssHED BY The News Printing Go.

Entered as secon1 class mail matter November 4th, 1865, at the postoffice at Prescott, Ark, under the act of Congress-, March 3, 1879.

Senator A. S. Clay proved, in Senatorial
speech, last winter, that the Sugar Trust had
made $66O0O0,00O in twelve years.
Its original capitalization was $165,O0O,-
600, of which at least half was water. But
let us allow it ten per cent. on the full
amount. In twelve years, that percentage of
profit would have amounted to $198,OO0,00O
That, of itself, is mort O money.
But the Trust, not content with ten per
cent. of net profit, gouged the people out of
$660,o00oO0. Consequently, the legalized
loot, over reasonable profit, was $462,OOO,OOO
That amount of plumber ought to have sat-
isfed their dollar madness, don't you think?
But it did not While they were literally
robbing the consumers of nearly $4Oo0o,o0O
per annum, they were Systematically stealing
from the Government at the Custom House
The Government gives the Trust the legisla-
ton which enables it to plumber the people,
and the Trust is so greedy and corrupt that
1t plumbers Government as we'll as governed
In other words, the Trust robs the people
t1oice: once in extortionate price, and once in
cheating the Treasury out of the Custom
House duties.
The thing started under Cleveland, in 1893
and 1t has gone on ever since.

Little Alfonso, of SPAIN

The following story, sent out from Paris,
gives us new idea of the decadent and pitt
less Spanish King:
when affairs of State forced him to seek an Eng
lish wife, the beautiful and wholesome Princess Patr
cia of Connaught promptly turned him down. N.Y.
but he is dirty said this naughty princess His nose
is too long, his lips too thick his chest too flat
and his chin too weak What' said the ambitious
little Ena of Battenberg You refuse a king? Very
we'll then, I'll take him. He will learn how to wash
himself
''And so the little Ena is Queen of Spain. But
who knows for how long? Perhaps the Republicans
Carlists and anarchists know; certainly the young
king and queen not tell"
But did "the ambitious little Ena of Bat
tenberg" teach the filthy Alfonso chow to
wash HIMSELF?
Great and INSCRIPTIONS was the ambition
of "the little Ena", who had to turn Cath
olic", before she could enjoy the honor of
ascending the nuptial couch with the dirty,
thick-lipped, long-nosed, fat-chested, weak
chinned King-let
In morals, there isn't particle of differ
ence between the high-born woman, who
trades her attractive body for title, and the
poor fve-dollara girl who ekes out a
livelihood by rooming with "a gentleman
friend"

slavery in October, 1909. In Chicago the 9TH
er day white girl was sold for 1925! de-
tective set the trap and the seller of the white
girl readily fell into it. The traficker in this hor-
rid work said to the supposed purchaser, You
can depend on me. [ can lay my hand on twenty
girls at this price, any one of whom would suit
anybody Such trade that in the United
States and in this year Of the grace of Lord
When $4,000 girls are thus sacrificed annually,
it is time for people who love decency and right
eousness to get busy after the abominable pan
derers."
But DR. Lovett, how can we get busy after
abominable American panderers, and $780,
100000 heather at the same time?
Haven't | been trying to get such men as
you to get busy after white slavers, and a
number of other horrible things, here at
home?
But SO many of you have 'the heather" on
the brain that you can not be aroused to the
needs of the poor, the uneducated, the ire
ligious, and the panderer- hunted of our own
Christian land
The 10000 white girls to whom you refer,
as being the yearly victims of the panderer,
would, if saved be worth more to Christian
civilization and the future of the world than
all the decadent, inferior races Of the East
Why not call IN the missionaries AND
SAVE OUR OWN GIRLS AND BOYS?

Boykin Wright & Co. used a good and able

They sent to Congress man of easy going

Therefore, Major Blacks record in Con

What did I do? Submitted the question to

Here was the question | asked the people

ready to do all that was necessary to keep me
from getting Hancock's vote
Other Congressman whose seats were in
danger, hurried home to look after their
fences [ remained where [ was paid to stay

By that time the district was seething with
excitement.
On reaching Washington December, 1917
I had refused to enter the Democratic caucus

mine started the storm; and the cry was

In the winter of 1912, the Farmers Ali

clared for independent political action. Nam
