asked. "Oskar not behaving?"
I'm tired to death, but don't sleep"
Miss Patty said. II don't know

Mr. Dick made a move at that to go
across the fireplace to her, but Mr.

Here's Pierce now"
He came in smiling, and as he stood
inside the door, brushing the snow Off.
1t was queer to see how his eyes went
around the circle until he'd found Miss
Patty and stopped at her.
Nobody answered his smile, and he
came over to the fire beside Miss
Patty.

at her. There's something invigorat-

disagreeably "Of course. we haven't
all got your shoulders"
That's So" he answered, turning to
her. Il said you women should not
come so far. We could have met in

In disagreeably, land that is that this
meeting concerns me, and l cannot

You generally do" Mr.. Dick retort-

BET SEEMED GOOD ONE. BUT-
His Companions Still Had a Little to Learn Regarding the Habits of
 Their Fellow Workman.

A certain workman in a Newark factory seems to be constitutionally opposed to the institution commonly known as a bath. It is this mans custom to appear each morning wearing the grime he carried as hc left the shop the previous night. He appear'd one day last week with a touch of the yolk of an egg upon his lip-a trife extravagant, but nev- ertheless true.
 Seeking to have little fun, fel- low employee observed:
 Hello, Jake; bet 1 can tell what you had for breakfast this morning"
 Words were banded back and forth, and finally wager was made, the loser to set 'em up to a good ci- gar or something of that sort. Then came the climax:
 Eggs"
 "You're wrong," said Jake. ''We had eggs yesterday morning. ."- Newark (O.) Advocate.

STEPHEN BRUNDRlGE
 TO HAVE HAT IN RING

Little Rock, March 7-,The in- dlcatlons are that Stephen Brun- dlge of Searcy will be in the race for governor at the proper time. A significant interview appears Tn the Mammoth Springs Demo- crat as follows:
 1 am being over run with let ters and telegrams from all parts of the state asking me to make the race for governor From a financial standpoint, 1 could not at all afford to accept it, but be. lleving that this great office has been worked overtime to further personal political ambitions, I would like to see it used for awhile at least, in the interest of the great body of people of the State, and as soon as the gentle men who have so generously un- dertaken to provide the method by which the next governor of the state shall be elected, have decided among themselves just what voice they propose to let the people have in the selection (if any), 1 will then have a def- nate and positive statement to make to the people of the state. ! believe that another canvass lof the state is just now muchneeded, much as 1 deplore a continuation of a political agitation.

LIQUOR PEOPLES
 EFFORTS USELESS

Although the liquor internsts of the state have already filed pc titions with Secretary of State Hodges in the hope of having submitted to the people an a, mendment to the constitution providing for local option, their efforts are useless, according to a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Arkansas. This tribu, nal has ruled that only three amendments can be submitted at one election, and as the bond issue, election of lieutenant governor and the placing of the legislators on a salary have al. ready been accepted, petitions from the liquor people probably will meet with the same fate as many others which were sub. mitted to late.

Little Rock, March 7-The gen a.ol appropriation has finally been passed by the House, and IS rpadv for the Senate to operate
 if The net reduction was not lorce as compared with the def oit which the economists are en- aoovoring to meet. The most not ohlo action of the House Thurs day was to refuse to make any appropriation whatever for the State Board of Health, which was rpcently created by the Legisla- ture.
 The Committee on Ways and Means offered to amend the ori- qinal bill by providing SPA, TAO for the support and maintenance of the Board, but Davis of La fayette moved to reject on the ground that the state is already deep in debt and has no money to give the Board, and his motion prevailed. A separate bill will be introduced, but the temperament of majority of the Legislature appears to oppose it.
 The Departments had asked for S791,976. The Ways and Means Committee recommended S695,440. The House in Commit tee of the Whole cut this down to S6S1, AS. Then the House adopted it at S667, ,34S, having restored the rate clerk to the Railroad Commission and one clerk to the Land Office,

"CULTURE" PEARLS BY FARMING

The British commercial attache at Yokohama reports that considerable export business is done with Europe and America in Japanese ''culture' pearls, which, although in appear ance and nature the same as the nat ural oyster pearl, are obtained from oysters by special process at the Mikimoto pearl culture farm in the Bay of Ago, a small bay inside the Gulf of Ise. The culture" pearl has to be cut off from the shell, whereas the natural pearl is found free in the oyster; consequently in the case of the former one part of the pearl is inferior in appearance and this accounts for the large differ ence in value between natural and culture" pearls.

MIR. MuNSEY'S POLITICAL
 HOLDING COMPANY.

Who but Frank A. Munsey- OF maybe George w. Perkins could have conceived the emin- ently ArmagedOdnish scheme of reuniting the Republican and Progressive parties by "a holding party" to take the two organiza- tions over, "as a holding compa- ny in the business world takes over and amalgamates competing concerns s?'
 The Republican party used to be in the hands of a holding com- pany, with Theodore Roosevelt as voting trust. In those days battling for the Lord was "a per- fectly corking time," and the en- -emy at Armageddon was "slugged over the ropes' and ''beaten to a frazzle."
 Then came a day when the Taft administration, following the rule of reason laid down by the Su- pIcIuS Loull III lHC ANloHuulh VI oll case, undertook to abolish the voting trust and dissolve the holding company. The Colonel promptly grabbed all the assets that he could lay his hands on and organized a competing party which manufactured and sold the same old stand-pat goods under a new name. Both concerns are now in bad way, and it is not surprising that Brother 'Munsey looks back respectfully to the days of the old political trust. But we fear he is too late.
 As MT. Morgan once felicit- ously remarked, with the consent and approval of the Colonel him. self, You cant unscramble eggs"

WHY NOT BAR REYES, TOO?

When Gen. Rafael Reyes, eX- president of Colombia, arrives here next week on a transatlan- tic liner, will he be permitted to land? Should he not be barred from admission to the United States like Cipriano Castro, rx- president of Venezuela?
 Gen. Reyes has talked pretty plainly about the way the Pan- anna revolution was put through in 1908 with help from Wash ington. He is still bent on mak- ing trouble. He is seeking to have the Panama matter submitted to The Hague tribunal. He claims that Colombia should be indem- nified for the loss of he Isthmus.
 Secretary of State Knox knows how annoying Gen. Reyes attitude has been. Mr. Knox was attor- ney general when the Panama transaction was carried through and when Gen. Reyes was sent to Washington as special envoy to protest in COlombia's name. Gen. Reyes was not satisfied, like Castro, to bother merely an As phalt Trust; he bothered the Un- ited States government and pro- poses to keep it up.
 Ought not Gen. Reyes tO be met down the bay by party of inn migration officials, under orders from Washington, in the hope of finding that he suffers from weak eyes? Ought he not be detained at Ellis Island anyhow, because he persists in pressing Colom- bias claims? Does Secretary Knox approve of him?

From tho reports Of the prisoners
past conduct, he has been in the habit
of obtaining his livelihood by working
upon the sympathies of ministers of
the gospel and others connected with
the churches, After serving long
term on the rock pile in Portland,
Campbell obtained a sum of money by
forging the name of Sheriff Word, of
Multnamoh county, to a check. He
then came to this city.
Not content with taking the name
