THE ALLEN BOUGHT
 BY GOVERNMENT
Arkansas River Steamboat to be Sent to Pine Bluff to Join the Gov. ernment Fleet-Sale Made Yes.
 terday-S0ld for About 5000.

Little Rock, March 4.-After next Wednesday the Little Rock Packet Company, will be the only company with packets plying into the port of Little Rock, the A. D. Allen, the pioneer packet in this trade be- ing sold yesterday to the United States government, for use as tow boat of the fleet which is now work ing at Pine Bluff. The Allen will be delivered next Wednesday at Pine Bluff. and will succeed the Cleve- land, the boat which has been at the head of the White river fleet for a number of years. The price paid for the Allen has not been made public, but it is stated that it is something in the neighborhood of $7,000. The Cleveland, as soon as the Allen ar
 rives, will be dismantled and the hull sunk. The Allen will work in the White river the most of the time. This boat has worked out of Little Rock for number of years, making regular trips down the river. The boat had been inspected and fills all government requirements, so there will be no further delay in transfer the Allen taking until next Wednes- day to simply give all shippers notice so the withdraway from the trade would be no inconvenience to them. The government short time ago purchased a boat at Charlottesville, Ind. but when the agents went for it, found it had been sold and deliv- cred to another.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE Delivered By Carrier
OFFICE TOO COSTLY.

The recent declaration of Senator Flint of California that he cannot af- ford to be a candidate for reelection has been followed by that of Cover nor Hughes of New York, who says that he has spent almost all his sav- ings in maintaining the governor s office and that he must devote him. self to his private practice because officeholding is too expensive, says the Kansas City Journal. If these
 too statements were isolated incl dents of American public life they would not perhaps be worthy of special note, but unfortunately they are not. When such. public servant as Gov ernor Hughes, who is certainly not a prodigal in any sense, declares that he cannot maintain the expected standard of the governorship accord ing to the modest estimate consist ent with self respect and what the people expect, there is something wrong with the standard expected and with the people who expect it.
 The charge has been made that one of the Pennsylvania represent atives spent s1o0,000 to get into con- gross. Unquestionably there are great many cases where the cost of election to public office is many times the total of salary of the off cial term. Senator Warner says that his seat in the senate cost him only a few postage stamps, but Senator Warmers experience is the rare ex- ception. As a rule, it costs far too much to be elected a senator or rep resentative in congress, or a gover- nor of Missouri or mayor of Kansas City, and the expense is excessive even within perfectly legal and legi- timate limits There are too many men in office and too many out Of office for purely financial reasons.

English Woman's Brother Supposed to
 Have Been Tiny Tim.
 The original of Dickens Little Dor Tit has just died at Southsea in the person of Mrs. Georgina Margaret Hayman. She was nearly eighty-one.
 Her father. MT. Bridges, was Lon don solicitor and was for many years an intimate friend of Dickens. The novelist was a frequent visitor at the solicitors house and took a keen in terest in all the members of the fam fly.
 Mrs. Hayman as girl was pretty, and all the lads in the district made eyes at her. One day she lost one of a pair of red shoes that she used to wear, an incident which Dickens made use of in his works.
 Mrs. Hayman's brother, who died while still lad, is said to have in spired another Of Dickens characters, Tiny Tim in "A Christmas Carol" The boy met with an accident while at play, being impaled on an area rail ing, but he was cheery little fellow in spite of the injury that made him a cripple.

She Had Couraqe.

A self possessed young woman who knew no French strolled into one of the larger downtown cafes. She spoke to the waiter in that decisive tone which distinguishes the initiated and glanced over the French bill of fare with the nonchalant air of a Pa risienne.
 "I'll have" she began firmly as she plunged into the sea of French dishes -"I'll have-let me see. Oh, yes, I'll have some bisque tortoni, a sultana roll, pommes de terre and a little of that fromage. And, garcon, you might as we'll bring me cup of coffee."
 The waiter gasped He started to speak, but the young woman froze him with one of those icy stares peculiar to the thoroughly sophisticated.
 And the order arrived-two kinds o1 ices, boiled potatoes and a piece of cheese. But she ate it as if she had been used to that sort of diet all her life.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Considerable.

After clanhbering over the feet OF
the, obstinate person who holds the
end of. the seat in the trolley car, the
lady makes several audible remarks
about the end seat hogs. At this the
other passengers litter, whereat the
obstinate person arises, bows and
says suavely:
Pardon me, madam. but in retain
ing this seat was merely acting upon
motives of gallantry."
"Gallantry! Humph!" the lady
shifts.
Yes, madam, with all the due respect
to your judgment, gallantry. Far be
1t from me to allow a lady even un
consciously to place herself in a posi-
ton where those who want to get
aboard the car next would refer to
her even inaudibly as an end seat
hoggess."
Saying which, he sat down, and the
car rolled on In silence.
