FAUCETTE HAS A
 LEGISLATIVE BEE
Former Mayor of Argenta Surprises Politicians at the Capitol When He Announces as a Candidate for the
 HOuSe-SenatOrial Race.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 15-Entries
 for places in house and senate to represent Pulaski county, closed at noon yesterday, and but one surprise was sprung, it being the payment of the fee as a candidate for the house by W. c. Faucette, former mayor of Argenta. Very few people knew Fau- cette had any ambition to go to the house, so his announcement was all the more of a surprise. w. c. Eau cette has been an unique character in Pulaski county politics, especially those of Argenta. He was formerly an engineer on the Iron Mountain. but retired and was elected mayor of Argenta. He served as mayor, off and on, for about five terms. When Argenta was annexed to Little Rock
 he led the fight for a divorce and was finally successful. He was at one time indicted in connection with an alleged attempt to bribe officers of the Perryville court to fix the jury which tried Senator A. T. Gross for boodling. He was tried for this, along with Frank Cumnock, former mayor of Barring Cross, but the su- preme court reversed the lower courts decision of guilty, and the case was afterwards dropped by Prosecut- ing Attorney Campbell. Pulaski and Perry counties. with two places in the senate, are having them fought over by three young men of Little

DOES WIFE CAD?

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-"Any
man has the right to lock his wife
out of his house if she is a CAD
aboutand does not attend to her
duties"
This edict was by Magistrate H
P. Nash in Brooklyn for the gen.
eral edification of all hen-pecked
husbands, but particularly for the
benefit of Jacob l. Lyendecker, a
hard working mechanic.
Mrs. Rose Lyendecker had ia.
cob summoned to court on the
charge that he locked her out OF
their house three nights ago and
refused to allow her to return.
Il am hard working man, your
honor" said Lyendecker, but my
wife, / am sorry to say, is a CAD

After giving his opinion of CAD
about wives, Magistrate Nash dis
missed the summons.

The outcome of the controversy
started by Tacoma and Seattle
against the extortionate charges
of the railways for local freight

Virginia Harmed Tomorrow.

Miss Virginia Harmed, who ap-
pears in Herbert Bashford's new
drama of the Bohemian phase of
New York life, "The Woman He
Married." at the Tacoma theater
tomorrow evening and Monday, is
conceded to have found a role
which places her above the sue
cesses she attained while travel
Ing jointly with +. H. Sothern.
Mr. Bashford's play is a power
fully appealing drama of a GER
tain phase of New York life, and
provides great dramatic possibili-
ties for Miss Harned's ability, es-
pecially as it offers several light
scenes in which she may show her
versatility.
Miss Harmed is provided with
an excellent supporting company
and her engagement is looked
upon with interest.
