REVENGE.

Revenge is the process Of making
an enemy feel as bad as he has
made you feel.
| In other words, Revenge is the bust
ness of paying back trouble. IL
ever it is not very businesslike
process, because the Revenger is new
en- satisfied with paying bact
exact amount. He would much rath-
er pay double. In fact, the man who
goes into the wholesale and retail
revenge business always tries to
charge himself 200 per cent interest
annually. If man gave him a
black eye a year ago, he hopes this
wear to give said man two black eyes
and a scrambled ear and pancake
nose.
Revenge is difficult business @"' -
quires a good memory. When man
goes into the revenge business he
first ,accumulates an enemy and then
waits to pay his enemy back, utter
ing low kissing sound meanwhile,
whenever he thinks of him. Some
times he Kisses for years before he
gets chance to place his heel on his
enemy's caved-in wish-bone and ex-
claim, ola, R-r-r-evenge!" But wait
ing is part of the game. When
man has corded up eight or ten en-
emies and is saving a good dose of
the same for each of them, he has
little time to do anything else but
wait and hiss. The world is, in fact,
afflicted with large number of citi-
zens who haven't done anything but
/ wait for revenge for years.
The American Indian, when dis
covered was a stalwart, agile man,
with a good mind and fine prospects,
But revenge was his speciality. He
never forgot wrong, and he always
paid back the doer. Consequently,
while the American settler was rals-
ing corn the American Indian was
crawling through the underbrush on
his elbows and knees trying to denude
the head of some other Indian, who
had called him bad word seventeen
years ago. This is partially why
the American settler now runs the
world while the American Indian tod
dies up to the agency once a week
for beef and cuts no figure whatever
| in the election returns.

Want Tablet On Capitol Walls.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct 25.- There
has arisen 4 controversy over
the placing of a David O. Dodd
memorial tablet in the new CAPT
tol. Mrs. S. S. Wassell of Little
Rock has taken an active inter-
est in the project and secured
funds with which to procure the
tablet.
The Art Commission gave au-
thority for the placing of the
tablet on one of the interior col
umns at the entrance to the
capitol, but the Capitol Commits
sion objected. The state con-
vention of the U. D. C. adopted
resolutions taking issue with
the Capitol Commission. Gov.
Hays says that he gave written
consent to the ladies for the
placing of the tablet, and asked
the Capitol Commission not to
adopt resolutions forbidding it,
as one of the members had pro-
posed. The question as it now
stands, is whether the Art Com
mission or the Capitol Commits
sion has a superior right in the
premises.
Mrs. Wassell presented the
matter to the general conven-
ton of the Z. D. C. at Houston,
and made such forceful plea
for a recognition of the Boy He
r of the Confederacy that the
convention agreed to bear the
expense Of the proposed memoir

kONGO ARRIVES
IN NEW YORK
Tremendous Crowds See the Big
Beasts Lowered from the Boat.
Largest Elephant Known
Was Captured Last
Season. Now with the
Season, now with Yam
l.ee Robinson.
IN NEW YORK

The scenes attending the ar
rival of the largest elephant ev-
er known, "kongo", were most
remarkable. From the time
the people of this country, some
twelve months ago, read of the
capture of Kongo, there has
been curiosity to see this
hughe beast. At the roundup
of elephants, in Siam, last
spring, there were twenty
three elephants captured-this
being the entire haul for last
season. Among the few held
last season, was the real mon
arch Of the iungle-an elephant
that has been the goal of ev-
cry hunter to the forest for
years. This big beast was Kon-
go. Immediately the concession
aries of the San Francisco FIX
position cabled to secure this
big beast for the wonderful
trained animal exhibit they will
have there during the fair, The
promoters Of the Yankee Rob
inson shows happened to have
Nj. Harvey Hale, their Europe
an representative in Siam at
the time of this offer. With
out any comforting with the
owners of the big circus, he
secured this big beast (for an
enormous rentaD for the
coming season. 1t is expected
that the principal cities of the
country will be visited by the
show during that time.
The arrival of Kongo in New
York, as stated above, was wit
messed by tens of thousands of
people. He was lowered fror.
the vessel by means of large
car, heavily ironed and secured
with enormous steel chains. AS
the big steam derrick hoisted
Kongo in the air, to be lowered
to the harbor, he emitted a ter
rifle ''bowl' Of the desert. This
is a noise peculiar to this species
of animals in extreme fright.
he was Immediately taken to
the yards of the Pennsylvania
yards, where in a specially con-
strvcted car, he was brought to
the Yankee Robinson shows.
The unloading from the cars Of
this enormous beast is well
worth your time. Kongo is IN
[loaded usually about six in the
morning and taken to the lot
immediately. The Yankee Rob
linson show will be in Newport

The Pumpkin.

There seems to exist considerable
toubt rs to the origin of the pumpkin.
While it is certain that the pumpkin
In all its forms is nowhere more high
ly esteemed than I'm this country. 1t Is
by no means certain that IL had its
birth in America, although some au-
!horities claim that 1t is native to our
soil. They contend that the aborigines
Of America planted it with their maize.
Authorities incline TO the view that the
pumpkin is Of Asiatic origin, while
others yet contend that pumpkins have
Leen cultivated either as Il curiosity or
p an article Of food in England since
HE year 1870 Even in these days
America has no monopoly in the culti-
ration of this attractive product. The
