Little Stories for Bedtime.
Johnny Chuck Has Another Adventure.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Johnny Chuck lay stretched out on the
cool, soft grass of the Green Meadows
painting for breath. He was very tired
and. very sore. His face was scratched
and bitten. His clothes were torn, and
he smarted dreadfully in dozen places.
But still Johnny Chuck was happy. When
he raised his head to look he could see
a gray old Chuck limping of toward the
Old Pasture. Once in q while the gray
old Chuck would turn his head and show
his teeth, but he kept right on toward
the Old Pasture Johnny Chuck smiled.
/ You see Johnny and the old gray Chuck
had had a dreadful fight to see who
should leave the Green Meadows, and
Johnny had won. 1t had been great
fight, and more than once Johnny Chuck
had thought that he should have to give
up. He thought of this now. and then
he thought with shame of how he had
Dragged and boasted just before the fight.
What if he had lost? He resolved that he
would never again brag or boast. But
he also made up his mind that if any one
should pick a quarrel with him he would
show that he wasn't afraid.
1t was getting late in the afternoon
when Johnny finally felt rested enough
to go on. He had got to find place to
spend the night. You see, Johnny Chuck
had been discontended and had given his
house to Jimmy Skunk and had started
out to see the world. He hobbled along,
for he was very stiff and sore, until he
came to the edge of the Green Meadows
where they met the Green Forest. Jolly,
round. red Mr.. Sun was almost ready to
go down to his bed behind the Purple
Hills. Shadows were already beginning
to creep through the Green Forest. Some
how they gave Johnny Chuck that same
lonesome feeling that he had had when
he first left his old home. You see, he
had always lived out in the Green
Meadows. and somehow he was afraid Of
the Green Forest in the night
So instead Of going into the Green
Forest he wandered along the edge Of 1t,
looking for a place in which to spend the
night. At last he came to hollow log

said aloud.

hair on his neck rise as 1t always did
when he heard that hiss, and he wasn't
at all surprised when he turned his head

Blacksnake glided swiftly up to the old
log and coiled himself in front of the

ran out hts tongue in the most impudent
way.
Run along Johnny Chuck! I'VE decided
to sleep here myself tonight" he said
sharply.
Now. when Johnny Chuck was very
little fellow he had been in great fear OF

he. And because he didn't know any bet

Blacksnake knew that, and so now he
looked as ugly as he knew how. But
you see he didn't know about the great
fight that Johnny Chuck had just won.
Now, to win an honest fight always
makes one feel very strong and very sure
of ones self. Johnny looked at Mr. Black

STARVING AMERICA. BY Alfred w.
Mccain. New York: George III.
Doran Company.
In writing this book Mr. Mccain
hopes. SO he says, to stir the public
nightly. to brighten them, il must be,
into an intelligent attitude and habit
concerning the supreme matter of
food. With this stirring intent to the
fore he puts what he has to say as
startlingly as possible. AZ informa-
ton, condensed and specific informa-
tor about the nature Of foods and
their relations to the growth and
health and efficiency of the human body,
the book is Of the highest practical value.
the public is that Of deplorable ignorance.
Of an ignorance which. in effect, is not
less than crime since out of the losses
to food through processes OF manufacture
its nutritfve value Is reduced to the low
est terms. and slow starvation sets in.
Out OF this condition primarily comes the
reason, according to Mr.. McCann. why
15.OCO.00O children in America are phys
icaily defective; why Americans are rap
idly becoming nation OF dyspeptics; why
we pay one-fifth as much for drugs as for
manufactured foods: why our army of
10000 physicians and surgeons works
night and day, with other pertinent and
alarming why's, all together bearing d.
rectly upon the neglected subject Of foods.
The book 10 OF missionary spirit. Address
ed to all classes, its use to those having
the training of children is specially point
ed out.
COMRADE YETTA. BY Albert Ed
wards, author OF "a Mans World"
New York: The Macmillan Com
pany.
The habit of the studious observer,
rather than the creative gift OF the ro-
mancer, went into the building Of Com
rade Yetta. The task here to see a.
thing as 1t is, to lift It free from alien
entangiements, to keep it single, to set
it in the open for one to walk around
in proof of its solid substance. In the
girl, to be first a leader among working
girls, and later a power for working
women, Mr.. Edwards has made q fine,
firm, durable story of poignant and many
sided appeal.

From the London Chronicle.
During their 800 years rule Of Russia
the Romanoffs have never been assigned
a civil list. The czars have always been
allowed to take what they like from the
imperial treasury. 1t is said that during
the year before his, assassination Alex
ander II drew s5,oo6,ooo from this source
to make provision for his morganatic
wife. Princess Dolgoruki and her chill
dren. At present the civil list for the
whole of the imperial family stands at
Ell 100000 a year; but this figure, hav-
ing been fixed by the czar himself, could
be increased IL he so desired without any
formalities. He has, moreover, vast pri-
vate resources. his Siberian properties

not forget that the increase OF Industrial

the interest OF the employers, but

increased. their level Of life raised. And

When Pollyanna was a crumb of a girl
she wanted a doll Her one hope of
getting it was through the Ladies' Aid
of her fathers poor little church. But
the missionary barrel from the east con-
tanned no doll. so Polly had to be salts
fed with a pair of crutches. This was a
disappointment, Of course. but as the
minister explained to Pollyanna, she
ought to be glad for the crutches be-
cause ''she didn't need them" And in
this way the poor father. fighting pow
erty and the death that was soon to make
Pollyanna an orphan, started the glad
game which his little daughter plays
throughout the book. Pollyanna comes
east in the first chapter to live with
stern maiden aunt who has taken the
child "from duty" But Pollyanna wants
love. And she gets it through the glad
game" which makes every one who plays

that comes along. It is a game which
brings hope to the sick, courage to the

to an unhappy couple and last, and best,
happiness to Aunt Polly and the good

Little Interest Is Manifested In Cues. ton of Calling Special Election
 For Governor.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-When it was first intimated there would be no election to fill the office of Governor when Joe T. Robinson resigns the position to take his place in the United States Senate, it was but in this the same as in the proposit on of submitting the question of an Unit ed States Senator to the people; they seem to display little interest. Out side of few pol ticians who desire to make the race for governor to fill out the unexpiled term of Gov. Rob- inson, there has been little comment on the subject, and the people who have expressed themselves seem to desire the Senate to elect a lieutenant governor and permit him to serve un til the Robinson term has exp red
 The two members of the Senate who have been mentioned for the position of president pro tenn, of the Senate, Harry Harris of Monroe county and Clyde Going, of Poinsett county, are very capable and clean men, and either is cons dered competent to fill the office with credit. This being the condition, the demand for a primary which VII cost the state at least $40,- 900 will be only such as those who desire to become candidates for the position, can create. Many of the pa. pers of the state are requesting the legislators to make provisions for the election of l eutenant governor, as is done in other states, and put an end to all the political turmoil into which the state has been thrown for the past six years.
 Should primary be held, an elec- tion would have to follow, and that would cost the people an add tional $40,O00.

"Blsnd Tigers" Hurtful To Liquor In-

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-While no bill providing for statewide prohibition has been offered in the General As sembly so far, and none is expected, many other measures affecting the liquor interests have been introduced one of such nature that if passed and can be upheld by the. courts, will make the state as dly as powder horn. This bill is the one introduced by nineteen members of the Senate, and prov les for petition signed by majority of the white citizens, of the community before the liquor li- censes can be granted. This gives women tie right of suffi age on the liquor quest on. The restricting of the right to petition to white citizens alone, makes the act unconstitutional, according to several attorneys who have looked the bill over. All other measures introduced have been in favor of the liquor interes,s, rather than against them.
 "The bills making the operation of blind tigers felony, the making boot leggers' pay heavy fines and take long jail sentences, plac ng tax of $25 day on all people having gov ernment liquor licenses in dry terri- tory, and the one prohibiting the shipment of liquor to hab tual drunk ards, are all in our favor,' stated one of the leading wholesale liquor deal- CTS of Arkansas. "The worst enemy the saloon has is the blind tiger, which produces trouble in temper ance community, and the saloon ga ms disfavor from it.
