Il. y,uuiciuaI Election in Little Rock ''I Ioday fraught With Much Interest
 and Some Little Excitement.

Hammett a 'aaaI sus dentist, has the right of wsy 'Vs everywhere today. The Mas votes are being polled rapidly in .oeh .o of the eight wards of the ea,1 eity and the prospects are that W. " R. Duley will show ten votes tor every one cast for, Dr. Ham matt mo the prohibition candidate, As an example of the strenuosity of the campaign Dr. Hammett visited the office of the Arkansas nemocrat yesterday afternoon and requested the publication ol an article he had prepared charging prominent men with conspiracy to count him out of votes He was told to get the name of prominent prohibition workers to the sta tement, which
 
 he failed to do and when publi- cation was refused became in- solent. He directed his remarks to George c. NaylOr the business manager of the paper who re- seuted the remarks and was dar- ed by Hammett to strike. Nay Tor proceeded to strike and strike often and Hammett was lead away, sore and bleeding. Naylor also presented and en- flamedoptic to show for the en- counter.
 Argenta is having equally as strenuous a time, The politicians of the town are backing F.. A. Ramsey. former County Clerk, as an independent candidate for mayor against John Farmer, Democrat.

SHILOH ANNIVERSARY.

Editor of the News About this time of day (11.3O O'clocky AZ years ago there was music in the air around old Shilo church, near Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee river. Amid the roar of cannon the rattle of muske try, the wild yell, of the on-marching Confederates, noble young men were falling thick. and fast, all along the miles Of living walls of our brothers. What madness What a sacrifice of splendid man hood
 Should the survivors Of that awful carnage forget their fal- len comrades, or those who live now or whose graves are near us?
 Surely not history tells Us that six hundred years after the battle of Marathan, the Athen- iens still honored the memory of the heroes who gave their lives that the people might be free from Persian despotism. Some time in May we will decorate the graves of our comrades who sleep in DeAnn cemetery.

POOR ST. VALENTINE.
Time Has Taken Liberties With His
Once Revered Name.


The paradoxical, not to say alb
surd, antics of Time we're never
more quantity exemplifed than in
this matter of St. Valentine. Never
was insult more whimsically added
to injury than by the arbitrary as
ISOLATION of the stern and slaughter
ed saint who fell martyred beneath
the clubs of the Emperor Claudius,
somewhere toward the end of the
third century, with the joyous and
essentially pagan festival which takes
his name in vain. Recorded as "a
man of exceptional chastity of char
acter' to be associated with Ophe-
las beautiful, ribald, Misunderstanding
song:
And l maid at your window
To be your Valentine
and to be grossly libeled by Charles
Lamb as "a rubicund priest of Hy-
men, attended with thousands and
tens of thousands of little loves!''
The historical fact is that poor St.
Valentines reputation as a saint was
sacrificed to that astute policy of
the christian church, which, finding
the old pagan festivals too deeply
rooted in the popular sentiment,
changed their name to that of some
christian saint, and adopted them for
its own.
Thus Valentines day was original
ly a feast of Februata Juno, and, on
the night before, boys would draw
the names of girls in order to divine
who should be their sweethearts in
the coming year. The church frown-
ed on this innocent game and sub
stituted the names of saints for
sWeethearts-whereby, it may be
supposed, the game would somewhat
languish. Yet, in spite of the church.
the old pagan manner of playing the
game has gone on until this day:
and country girls will still pin five
bay leaves to their pillows on St.
Valentines eve, hoping to dream of
their young man." and by divers
other sOrceries strive to wrest from
the future the secret naturally near
est to the human heart-the face
or name of the beloved, or the stern
est of saints cannot prevent the
world from keeping immortality
young, and the birds will go on mat
ing on the 14th of February in spite
of all the DEGREES of the church,

OFFER TO SELL THEIR BLOOD
Fourteen Persons Responded to an

In response to an advertisement
for "a healthy man willing to sell

patient fourteen persons, one of
whom was young factory girl, ap-
piled Tuesday in the office of the
Mount Sinai Hospital, says the New

to exchange their blood for money
was remarkable. Nearly a year ago,
when similar advertisement was
printed, only two persons responded
Whether times are harder or peo-

is not dangerous the doctors cannot
say.
The patient is Morris Pavie. For
week his life has been fast ebbing
away. 1t was thought at first that an
operation would save his life, but the
patient has neither blood nor
strength to withstand the knife.
Long before Superintendent Gold
water arrived at his office the four
teen applicants were in the corridor
waiting patiently to be examined
The young woman was informed that
only men would be accepted, and she
turned away sadly
The hospital officials refused to say
how much they paid for blood. 1t
was reported to be $40.
