! ono to be elected to fill vacancy.

Mena has a brand new adminis- tration, and it's head, Henry Legate, IS the first mayor ever elected as a Republican in the city, and is man fully identified with Mena. The three new al- dermen are representative busi- ness men, each vitally interested in the progress of his city.
 When Mayor Davis called the council to order Monday night, the last time during his term of off, flee, the council room was un- comfortably crowded by citizens who were present to watch the proceedings in connection with the change of administrations. Councilmen Hagsu, Daniels, Vandiver, Richards and Parks were present-the full remaining membership of the old council, Alderman Cunningham having resigned, creating vacancy that must be filled by special election m the near future.
 Salaries Remain the Same.
 The law requiring that the out going council should establish the salaries to be received by the incoming officers, the matter was discussed briefly, and while some favored some changes, the final decision left them as before. They are: Mayor, $l00 per year, police judge, $40 per month; treasurer, $20; city attorney $20; clerk, SIS; chief of police, b65; day police, $50; night police, $40.
 The Change of Officials.
 The work of tue old council having been completed, Mayor Davis made short talk, thank ing his council, and urging upon the people to give his successor solid support and a. chance to make bis administration success. He said he was proud to be sue ceeded by so good man as Henry Legate, and wanted to ask iu be- half of Mir. Legate that the peo- pie allow him to be mayor, and when anyone was not satisfied. not to cuss the mayor too hard until they investigated and really found if he was the man to blame. He said the mayor would many times need encouragement and help.
 Mayor Davis then administered the oath of office making Henry Legate mayor, who thereupon made a quite lengthy address in which he outlined the policy of his administration.
 The oath of office was then. ad- mlnistered to newly elected Alder men J. A. Richards, M. M. Shields and Dan Watkins and Police Judge Will Alexander and Treasurer John Joplin, after which Mayor Legate appointed D. B. Joplin chief of police. Bonds were given and accepted for $500 by the police judge. S6000 by the treasurer and $30O0 by the chief of police.
 Chiet of Police Joplin immedi- ately appointed his assistants, naming A. McMillan as day of- 6cer and Will Clark and J. D. Cranor night men.

Had One After All.

Jimmy had always lamented the fact
that he had no grandmother. He was
quite satisfied with the quality of his
parents, and he was not especially
anxious. on the whole, to have any
more people about the house than al
ready lived there, but somehow or
other 1t irked him very much to think
that other boys had something that
he had not. There were Billie Robin
son and Sidney Grant. both chums Of
his-they both had grandmothers. and
It didn't seem exactly fair that he was
deprived of one.
One day, however, he had a happy
thought.
"Ma," he said, what does the word
grand mean. anyhow"
"Why. lofty. beautiful, noble. sub
lime" replied his mother.
A broad smile wreathed the boys
face as he jumped up and down on the
floor in an ecstasy Of glee.
"Hurrahp he cried. 81 have got one
after all"
zone what, dear?" asked his mother.
"A grandmother" he replied.
where is she. dear?" his mother
inquired.
"why, you're it, mother" said the
boy. you're my mother, and you're
lofty, beautiful, noble and sublime
especially the beautiful"
