A Hair Dressing Halt.

II hear from an Indian friend that on
one OF the journeys OF the King Emperor
in his Eastern empire the train Vas
stopped" said a woman the other day.
AS no stop was expected. there was
great perturbation aud no little excite
ment among fussy and overanxious on
cials. Some thought there was danger
down the line; others thought the train
might be attacked: the word bomb be-
gan to be whispered here and there.
Finally. all agitation was Gained by the
announcement that the ousen-Empress'
dresser had found II quite impossible to
do her imperial maJesty's hair with the
shaking of the train in motioni The dlf-
hculties Of that functionary may be easily
understood by most OF US who have had
maids wrestling with our hair in unac-
customed circumstances. They had only
TO make their mistresses deeently pass
able, but the Queen-Empress had 10 be
turned out the cynosure of all eyes;
therefore. the dresser was but perform
ing loyal duty in having the train
stopped. Her majesty's hair is worth
dressing, too. on a head set Just right

BY FRANCES L. GARsIDE.

When a woman Is young. a story OF
love interests her more than any other
tale.
After the years have come and
sprinkleG the powder on her hair that
formerly appeared on her face she be-
comes more interested in a story OF a
death bed.
1t is when she is enjoying herself TO
the utmost in listening to or telling such
a tale that her husband shows he IS a
brute by refusing to listen.
Away off in the future there is a death
bed waiting for every man, and that is
tine reason he doesn't want 10 hear about

A similar piece of furniture awaits
every woman, and that Is why she wants
to hear about II.
She says this desire is due to her SYM

the wickedness of not telling him to

with great gusto. 80

DON'T WANT WOOD.

If it had been up to Garland conn. try to name prosecuting attorney two years ago, l. B. Wood would not have filled the office.
 In that race he was second in a field of four candidates.
 It was necessary for him to get a majority in three country counties in order to win.
 ThIngs are different now.
 At that time Wood was enabled to come to Garland county with a major. ity, and the people of Garland had to accept him whether ihey wanted him or not.
 In the present race Clip Witt will ae the man who will come to Garland with the majority.
 His majority in Montgomery coun- ty, the only other county now in the new judicial district. will be all the way from 500 to 500 votes.
 Certainly then. Wood will not have q chance to win outside of Garland nor within Garland
 When the district was changed, Wood was made the appointlve prose cutor by the same governor, Mir DonasIhey, who later named Hugh Hale as appointive sheriff of this community.
 The authority of Wood, therefore. in so far as Garland county is con cerned, was first vested by the peo- pie of Grant, Saline and Hot Spring counties. and secondly by Governor Donaghey.
 His authority has not been with the consent of Garland.
 Neither will the authority of J. B. Wood be extended by the people of Garland county. because 1t has never been consented to.
 1t win be return to conditions where the people rule. Wood has entered into a compact with the dem.
 
 ocratic state organization to support the winner. Wood was forced into the statement at Mt Ida as to wheth CT he would support Hon. Clip Witt If Mir. Witt were nominated, and he said positively he would
 Therefore. when Hon. Clip Witt is given the majority he is certain to receive in this district next Wednes- day, and Is the democratic nominee Mir. Wood is going to be called on either to get out in this county and support the Montgomery county man or else at least remain inactive. and not fight him.

THE coNGREssloNAL RACE.

The race for congress in this dis trict is admittedly very close. Hon w H. Martin has made rapid strides and splendid gains in the last two weeks. and he believes that he has the race won.
 Ills close friends and advisers in the field declare that his chance now is better than the chance of his op- ponent
 Mir. Martin himself is sanguine, and realizes that his splendid appeal has met with success
 Hot Springs is entitled to name the congressman from the district this time. and the people realize and recognize the claim.
 Then. when man of the ability and capabiIity and integrity of W. H. Martin is offered, it is no wonder that the people Of other parts of the dis trlct rally to his support
 Measuring Taylor and Martin in the scales of capabiIity finds the Gar land county man with every advan. tage to his credit
 Great things are ahead for this national resort. and the full develop ment of this resort means it's full quota of the development of Arkan sas. Not alone in Garland, but in the whole of this end of tue district. there should be unanimous vote for Hon. W. H. Martin.
