ARKANSAS AND CLARK.

Through hhe medium of it's Demo cratic State Convention, Arkansas has gone on record as for Champ Clark for the presidential nomination first, last and all the time"
 In brief. the Arkansas delegates must vote for Clark on every ballot so long as his name is before the Baltimore convention.
 We had believed that 1t were better for the Arkansas delegation to be left uninstructed Arkansas is the second state called in the roll We oecupy a stragetic position in a political con vention.
 Always Clark has been line strongest man with the democrats of Arkansas There was Harmon following, an Underwood following and a Wilson following. but Clark was the favorite
 He is one of the foremost democrats of the country He is speaker of the national house of representatives. He is not only these but he is a neighbor ing statesman
 Since the party in this state, as re presented in the convention, has en- dorsed Clark in such wholesome and unanswerable manner, it is well that we of the press, and the people, make the endorsement unanimous. since fl the place is arrived at in the Baltimore convention when Clark can not win the nomination he will most probably leave the situation to the one who can. 4Hg
 Clark is already ahowered with honors If he is the presidential nomi- nee, all well, and all good and more power to him. If he is not, he will be one of the most powerful factors to the end Of the election Of whoever does receive the nomination
 The Garland county delegation was s,ninstrnctea, which VIC still believe represents line best spirit of democ- racy. but the majority of the demo crats as represented in the convention have ruled. and the die is cast
 If Champ Clark gets the nomination he will receive the largest vote ever cast for presidential candidate in Arkansas. If any other democrat gets the nomination, he need not feel any doubts about the first, last and all the time" resolution of the state con yention, for the democrats of Arkan- sas will stand as staunchly by another nominee as they would by our neigh Dor at the north border of the state

RETREAT OF A PHILOSOPHER
Avignon, the City of Exlled Popes, Was the Home of John
 Stuart Mill.

Avignon, the city of the exiled popes. was en fete on Sunday, when bust was unveiled in the gardens of the cottage of John Stuart Mill. It was at Avignon that the philosopher so- journed after his defeat at the polls at Westminster. It was there that he did much of the writing which has made his name immortal. There he spent the happiest seven years Of his life after his marriage to Mrs. Taylor, and there he died. The French people delight to honor true greatness, and the people of Avignon are proud of their city's association with the son of the philosophic historian of India, the author of "Utilitarianism."
 After Mrs. Mills death Miss Helen Taylor, her stepdaughter, was Mills constant companion at Avignon. There the philosopher wrote to his friends high encomiums of Miss Taylor-"1 am in clover" She is described as the architect and the master mason all in one" of the additions to the cot. tage, where she had designed the "her' barium" (for Mill was 8 keen botan' ist) and the "vibratory." Another at traction to Mill was the "semi-circum gyratory," as he termed the terraces going round two sides of the dwelling It was in 1858 that Mill and his wife went to Avignon to stay for a year but Mrs. Mills sudden death changed her husbands plans, and for about i fourteen years he passed his grief witt his books. just leaving the grounds tc visit his wifes grave, surrounded bJ "sombres cypres." In this little earth ly paradise he wrote that he found that enjoyment necessary to his ex l istence which the house of commonl
 did not offer.-London Globe.

Reflections of a Bachelor
(New York Press)


 Money that burns hole in the pocket uf most men seems to be a double lining in the pocket of a certain kind of man.
 What we call temperament in our friends we call cussedness in other people.
 Happiness is a spiritual gift from heaven; pleasure is an earthly com modity you buy.
 A man who can keep on making love to his wife can starve her to death and she'll neve. realize it. There are thousands of ways in the world to make money unless you happen to try one nf them.

A Left-Handed Job.

The advertisement called for left handed dressmaker's assistant, but the first person who answered 1t was neither left-handed nor dress maker.
 Why do you want left-handed apprentice?" asked the curious visi- tor.
 Because the girl who just went away was left-handed. She left lot of unfinished work, and 1t will take another left-handed girl to finish it. Left-handed people begin work in the opposite direction from a right-handed sewer, and if right-handed person attempts to finish it there is sure to be a muddle."

They kept walking along, showed and jostled, the ranchman all excited and pleased. After about a mile of it, he became tired and ceased talking, but kept plodding along. But after an hours walking. he took his friend by the arm and stopped him.

CHARACTERS OUT OF SCRAPS
Thackeray's Personages Were Patch- works, Seldom to Be Recognized as
 Portraits of Actual Persons.

Thackeray rarely drew an out and out portrait, though he sometimes ven tured on a recognizable caricature of people he detested. In Roundabout Paper" called De Finibus" he asserts that he creates his personages out of scraps, heel-taps, odds and ends of characters" Lady Anne Thackeray Ritchie corroborates this. My father" she writes in answer to a private re- quest for information, scarcely ever put real characters into his books, though he, of course, found sugges- tions among the people with whom he was thrown. I have always thought there was something of himself as Warrington. Perhaps the serious part of his nature was vaguely drawn in that character. There was also little likeness to his friend, Edward Fitz- gerald, who always lived a very soli- tary life.'
 Warrington, indeed, may be taken as typical instance of how Thackeray | made up his own personages out of l odds and ends of characters" In the | circumstances of his life Fitzgerald | was the closest of all prototypes that l
 l have been suggested. Like Warning l ton, he had married beneath him. though not so far beneath as Warning i ton; he had found his wife utterly un- i congenial and had left her in comfort
 able circum stances to make his own ] way in London in poverty and ob' scurity. To add the final touch of l pathos, Thackeray painted Warning
 tons abandoned wife as bad woman | which Mrs. Fitzgerald was not, but only very foolish and snobbish one.
