As I went up to old ST. Ives.
] met man with seven wives.
The seven spears stuck out behind
And waved defiance in the wind.
The seven hats which bore the
spears
Suspended from the seven ears.
The seven skirts, with fine eclipse,
Wound down the seven pairs of hips.
The seven Sits. with rhythmic
sweeps,
Displayed their seven little peeps.
The seven dainty pairs of feet

Poor man! thought I: but 10! a
glance
Revealed him in one.Iegged pants
They bore a patch on which the flap
Flew up and down with each foot

His pettipants were very blue,
And one could see them peeping
through.
His knees were damned, but 10 he

Went caterpillar down the hill.
He sort of did the castle walk,
Exciting turbulence and talk.
He tangoed when he saw cop,
And gamboled hippity and hop.
He even used, absurd enough,
The other pants leg as muff.
He wore a sword behind his ear,
And sometimes swished it in the
rear.

CALLING OUT THE RESERVES.

In the hope of reducing the over whelming Kirby majority in Faulkner county, Senator Clarke has instructed Judge J. V. Bourland, whom he re- gently appointed United States dis trict attorney for the Western district of Arkansas, to proceed at once to this county and make five speeches here in the interest of the senator.
 Faulkner county does not belong in the federal court district in which Judge Bourland serves To some peo- pie it might appear strange that the senator did not send the Honorable ". H. Martin, whom he has also ap- pointed as district attorney for the Eastern United States district court of Arkansas, in which district this county is situated. The explanation is that Mir. Martin shortly before re- ceiving his appointment, openly es- poused the cause of the Bull Moose candidate for governor of Arkansas, voted for him, and will not, therefore, under the rules of the Democratic State Central Committee, be permit ted to vote in the Democratic primary election to be held on the 25th of this month.
 Judge Bourland will doubtless be accorded courteous hearing when he comes to Faulkner county, lwhates CT the people may think of the propriety of sending out a recently appointed officer of the federal judiciary to make campaign speeches in behalf of the father of his job. But vast majority of the Democrats of the county, especially in the rural town ships, have already decided that the time has arrived for the retirement of Senator Clarke and they are only waiting for election day to come, when they will cast their votes for Judge William F. Kirby, real Democrat and a, man of the people.

the death of Col. Oathout, instead of himself. But the well-informed voter will not be caught by MT. McCain's charges of incompetency.
 It is plainly noticed, however, that Mr. Mccain is painfully silent con corning the puny efforts made by him. self and a few other disgruntled Lit tie Rock Democrats to disrupt the party when he signed a petition urg- ing Mayor Taylor of Little Rock to become an independent candidate for governor just before the special elef tion, and had they succeeded in get ting Mayor Taylor, who at that time, and is still holding an office bestowed upon him by the Democrats, into the race for governor, Mccain and those signing the petition would have SUD- ported him and tried to defeat Cover nor Hays, the Democratic nominee Van Buren Argus.

COFFMAN FOR AUDITOR.

The candidacy of State Auditor Coffman is appealing more closely each day to the voters of the state and his nomination by an overwhelming majority may be expected.
 He is being opposed by H. c. Me Cain, Little Rock alderman, who re- gently resigned clerkship under MT. Coffman while the latter was out of the office, and immediately entered up- on a campaign against MT. Coffman, charging his superior with incompe- tency and altogether an unfit man for the position he is now holding. MH Mccain is trying to make it appear that the late lamented Col Oathout, who was elected to the office of state auditor in 1912 and died seven months later made a grave mistake when he selected MT. Coffman for his chief deputy, instead of himself. He is also trying to make it appear as though Governor Futrell made a grevious mis- take when he appointed Chief Clerk (Coffman to fill the vacancy caused by

 Yet with all it's recently acquired passion for purisms, it is still diff cult for the Gazette writers to keep themselves from lapsing into the vernacular.

WORDS AND THE PURIST.

The Arkansas Gazette declares that in presuming to criticise some com- ments in the Gazette on the alleged misuse of certain common English words, 1The Log Cabin Democrat has wandered into the green but treacher- ous field of language and should step out before it is gored" doubtless by the very bulls which are so often seen charging up and down the col umns of the Gazette.
 In defense of a rather pedantic col umn in the Gazette conducted under the title, Words You Use Incorrect ly," it quotes Alfred Ayres and Rich ard Grant White, whose identity, We are courteously informed, the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat may learn by stepping over to Hendrix College and asking some of the professors. Not yet having had an opportunity to consult the professors, we must con- fess that Mr Ayres is a stranger to uS--ln IaeC, the only gentlenidh ol that name with whom we are ac- auaintea is the one who advertises his pills aed hair vigor through the Log Cabin Democrat. But pr. White IS one of our favorite authors, and we are sure that if he were still alive he would le delighted to acknowledge his indebtedness to the Log Cabin Demo srat for calling to the Gazette's atten- sion the fact that the English lan- gaage is a living thing and is con staatly changing.
 We cannot agree with the Gazette $ conclusion that the Photographer Is a less reliable guide than the purist. The faithful lexicographer merely

says: "His talk was along the usual lines, defending his record. No re- ference was made to his opponent.
 When the senator opened his cam paign at Morrilton he devoted about two-thirds of his speech to an effort to ridicule and slander Judge Kirby. It is significant that he has discovered that such attacks were not making him any votes, but were solidifying the Kirby strength. It is also sig nifcant that the senator has begun to realize that it is going to take all his time to defend his own record.
 Senator Clarke evidently sees that his chance of reelection is a des- perate one. For II years he has "sinned away his day of grace" and he cannot within a few weeks make the people whom he has neglected and disdained believe that he has been a faithful servant.
 His stiff-legged efforts to chamber into the progressive bandwagon at the end of the parade are so ludicrous that they are almost pitiable.

IFTER COUGHING TWO YEARS
Waycross, Ga, Woman Found
 Relief in Vinol.

Did you ever cough for a week? Then just think how distressing it must be to have a cough hang on for two years.
 Mrs. D. A. McGee, Waycross. Ca, says: I had very heavy cold which settled into chronic cough which kept me awake nights for fully two years, and felt tired all the time The effect of taking your cod liver and iron remedy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone. I can now get a good nights rest and feel much stronger in every way I am "A years old"
 It is the combined action of the medicinal elements of the cods' liy. CTS aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron which makes Vinol so efficient for chronic coughs. colds and bron- chitis-at the same time building up the weakened. rundown system.

ISN'T NOW THE TIME?

Now that the municipal primary election has been held and it has been determined who will be the officers of the city for the next two years, we believe the time has arrived when the first steps should be taken to- ward permanent street improvement in Conway.
 An able set of men have been elected to compose the city council and of their cooperation and sup port in any matter for the better ment of the city the people may be assured.
 The sentiment is almost, if not quite, unanimous for an organized systematic and thorough going plan of street building.
 The need and desirability of it are not questioned.
 By beginning at once, an improve ment district may be formed in time for the work to be done during the spring and summer, and it can be completed before another winter. De- laying a few weeks will probably mean another winter of as bad streets as we have had this winter-or worse

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS

Our friend from AllOver Arkan- sas has enlisted under the flag of the high-brows who man the heavy ar tillery of the Gazette and from his redoubt on the extreme right of the editorial page fired a verbal four
 pounder at the Log Cabin Democrat
 Monday. Really, this battle of words and the use of words-is growing desperate If one wing of the ene-
 my is going to continue firing upon us while the other is loading its guns, we too may have to summon rein forcements.
 Buff we may be pardoned for so abruptly abandoning the metaphor we should like to say that the Ga zette is becoming almost classic in its
 English. The profound study which has evidently been made of the works of Alfred Ayres and Richard
 Grant White and of the department of Words You Use Incorrectly has not been without it's results. No
 longer do we see proudly blazoned from the top of it's editorial columns the statement that "The Gazette has
 the Largest Circulation of Any News paper in Arkansas" This has been
 changed to the more elegant "The Gazette has a Larger Circulation
 than Any Other Newspaper in Ar kansas" It has been some weeks since frequent references were made
 in it's columns to the contest for the
 senatorial togo" Not so long ago we were told in the Gazette's city
 news that gentleman had just re turned to Little Rock after having attended the funeral of his father at
