did not observe 1t. either. He was on
the point of defending Clayton, but he
restrained himself and listened to Ben
sons suggestions. He remained at the
office for two hours. trying to change
the cartoon to Benson's satisfaction,
with growing hatred Of the work and
disgust with himself that now and
then almost drove him to mad destruc-
ton. He felt like splashing the piece
with India ink. or ripping 1t with his
knife. But he worked on, and submit

In default OF which ability, Benson
set himself to write one of those saw

Kittrell was not up to himself. AS
the campaign opened, as the city was

meetings at MONDAY and at night, Of
fice-seekers flying about In automo-

candidates, hand-bills scattered in the
streets to swirl in the wild March

whether Clayton or Ellsworth should
be mayor, Kittrell had to draw a 20

What's the Difference?
Dear Miss Grey: Will you please tell me the
difference between formal and informal affairs?
FLORA


A.-Formal and informal affairs? Now L wonder
what she means? If she had been definite, I
would not be in such quandery this summer morn
ing. Does she mean a reception, heart affair?
Winter is the time for the former and "any old
time" for the latter will be safe in describing
formal and informal hear affairs-if I can-but
maybe she means reception, and will deem me UNI
kind if do not give that space, too. Here goes:
To my mind the most formal heart affair is when
the marriage is contracted by the parents, in the
of Royalty, of which have little in America
thank goodness. In such the young couple
barely each other before the ceremony. An in
formal love affair is one in which the world melts
from view of the lovers at such rapid rate that they
resort to spooning even in the street cars.
Now for the reception: Nang it, Flora, if you
ever give me such stunt again, I'll be tempted to
hang the first Flora meet. Well, formal recep-
ton is one where everybody talks at once and no
one knows what the others saying; where the
most important things the aigrettes in the ladies'
hair and the walters white gloves. An informal
reception is where friends who really inter
ested in each other, in particular thing, meet
and don't give a peanut whether they wear dress
suits or smoking jackets, and the women come in
street suits, and enjoy themselves. gathering of
newspaper people is fair example.

COMPLETING THE
 STATE CAPITOL

Little Rock, April 29.-The State Capitol Commission will meet in Little Rock, May 7, to take up the plans for the comple- tion of the building. The meet. ing was originally set for May 6, but Cass Gilbert, the architect, was unable to reach the city by that time, on account of impOr- tant business detaining him in New York. At this meeting the architect will be a sked to suggest plans for the completion and of the first work that should be done.
 All offices now on the second floor of the building are to be located in the basement, or what should be termed the ground floor, as it is level with the grounds of the capitol. The floor will have to be arranged for the various departments, and as the second floor dwellerS are anxious to get in their permanent loca- tions, it is highly probable that the work will be started on this floor.
 The ground floor is to be paved with marble, and will be more convenient than the present loca. tion of the Departments of Agri- culture, Education and Labor, on account of the amount of climb, ing which has ts5e done to reach them. The lower floor is now used for storage purposes, which makes it all the more inconveni- ent. Under the new arrange ments the departments will be near their stores, for the stores will be transferred to large rooms which will be provided. with a concrete walk which is to cover

UNFAIR TO
 THE DRUGGIST
The Old Joke About Something "Just as Good" Doesn't Apply 10
 This Drug Store.

You have probably heard doz- ems of times the old story that a drug store was place to get something justas good" There is at least one drug store in the world that you cant say this about. It is certain that an in- ferior article will never be substi- tuted for guaranteed one by the Hesterly Drug Store. Take, %or instance, safe, reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble. like DodsOn's Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satisfactory a liver stimulant and reliever of bilious ness, and to entirely take the place of calomel, without any danger or restriction of habits or diet, that there are dozens of preparations springing up with limitations of it's claims.
 But Dodson's Liver Tone is guaranteed to do all that is claimed for it, and if you are not satisfied with it, the Hesterly Drug Store will hand your mon ey back with smile. Any per son going to this store for a bot tle of DodSon's Liver tone will be sure of getting a large bottle of this genuine remedy in exchange for his half dollar.
