A Unique Tombstone.

fantastic conception as a memorial
to loved ones who have passed to the
other shore.
The devotion that Hannibal Clark, a
simple minded but wealthy farmer,
displayed toward his daughter, Mary,
stands out prominently with every
blow welded by the stone engraver.
When she died at the age Of sixteen,
he decided to perpetuate upon the
family monument not only the dates
showing the birth and death of each
member, but also some verses OF
poetry appropriate, and also in the
case of the daughter. reproductions
OF animals and farm scenes Every
thing that the girl loved in life was
to be reproduced upon her monument
after death, according to the direc-
tions of the sOrrowing parent.
Her entire existence was spent up
on the farm and she knew but little
OF the wide world outside. She was
passionately fond Of the pursuits OF
agriculture and of domestic life as
ohC CAIti iChtCN II upOl iuNhCi
farm. She was the apple of her
fathers eye and her untimely death
broke his heart. He soon followed
her 10 the grave. but not until he had
left minute instructions concerning a
monument commemorating the traits
and affections of the daughter and
also some epitaphs concerning his
wife and himself.
The daughters favorite expression
was, Now, ma, let's go to sleep" and
Get ready, ma, now let us CO." and
others similar. These were ordered
carved upon the huge shaft Of granite
together with no less than fifty sym
bols showing objects on the farm
among them being the following: Side
saddle, pair of scissors. thimble, VIC
lin. copies Of love letters. owl, fish,
horse, COW, turkey, hen. rooster, dog
cat, grain cradle, plOw, fence. house,
bird, etc. 1t required months OF pa
tient labor upon the part of the monu-
ment maker to comrete this strange
monument.
That the old mans reverence to-
ward his daughter was extreme, is
indicated In the unique manner in
which he has sought to perpetuate
her peculiarities. He doubtless be-
lieved in his simple way that this
would please her. Relatives objected
strenuously against the erection of
such remarkable monument. but the
whim of the old man could not be
disregarded and 1t stands conspicu-

 Ut is here in Little Rock that all fault is found with the bill. Itis here in Little Rock that all objections are raised and all pc t;tions for it's reference to the people are written, printed and sent out to the county for clrcu- lation and signatures. It Is also here in Little Rock that the mon ev is raised and placed into the

But it should not follow that because Little Rock men and citizens ob- feet to proposed law, that they are wrong and the law good. But they should come out in the open and give their names and their reasons why they disapprove it.

bad law? Why do they delegate this law to others rather than do it themselves? Is this the way for dignitied gentlemen to attack proposed law in which all the state is interested?
 Let it be remembered that it is certain citizens of Little Rock making use of the Initiative and Referendum first, and if in the future it should happen that Lit tie Rock should lose something by the use of the Initiative and Referendum, let Little Rock not then complain that she was the first to make use of the law. This bill should by all means have had the emergency clause attach ed to it. If the state ever needed an emergency clause it is now IT now when it stands to lose so much by delay in this bill taking effect.
 The legislature put the emer- gency clause to practically all other measures passed, but when the state was to be benefited, 1t left it out, and it is this situation that these citizens of Little Rock are now taking advantage of. All right, let them go ahead. So far not .single reason worthy of consideration has been given flor the defeat of the Turner Jacob. son bill. Every objection is ei ther based on false assumption. or stated with the intent of arous- ing prejudices in the minds of those not informed on the sub ject.
