SEEK HELP OF RICH WON:
Begging Letters lnnumerabIe Cone Every Mail to the Possessor Of
 Great Wealth.

4 correspondent of Lesiie's Week sends these juicy bits from the oorrs spondence of one of our wealthiest an most charitable ladies:
 One supplicant writes; You gre far above men in a social and monetary way. but tiy to thee for aid would like 10 go visiting and would like soma clothes or hat One that comes over the face is more becoming 60 me
 Others are: T have moral ehsrsc- ter. and some thinks am very bright ! am blessed with many friends who will testify 10 my ladyship."
 For long time I have wanted 70 feel the pleasure of being even with he world. and when I saw your pic sure in the paper your eyes seemed to look into mine and say. I will help you if you will ask me-"
 T have long been looking for a per. son to whom I could make my wants known. Little I ask-some stationery. a good timepiece, one pair Of spec tacles (good. strong lense) or the ex- change of railway pass for good parrot"
 T have sometimes wished that God would give me some money to start ne in the chicken business. Perhaps Ae would start me in the business to sell the pure food of horseradish. :.
 T am bachelor maid of sixty-two and have to look out for myself. as hcrc either "a nor ma. Think over tiis letter and don't disappoint me Your loving friend"
 These letters are plainly from ig Eorant people, and probably somewhat wo"A-minded. In fact. it is almost an infallible sign of weak-mindedness to send any sort Of an appeal for per sonal help to the very rich.

Was Hard to Piease,

A good story is told of Provost Hawkins, an old don of Oriel college. Oxford, who was never happy unless he could find some fault to criticize in the undergraduates who came be- fore him. Among other things the record of chapel attendance was all ways on Hawkins table ready to be referred to for praise or blame.
 One day when a student. who was an Oriel man. was before him, the provost consulted the record
 q observe, Mir King" said he, that you have never missed a single chapel, morning or evening, during the whole term"
 He paused. but instead of a word of praise, which might reasonably have been expected. he continued SC. verely:
 T must warn you, MT. King, that even too regular attendance at chapel may degenerate into formalism"- London Telegraph.

VALUE THE ACORN AS FOOD
Mission Indians of California Find Sustenanee in and Apparently
 Enjoy the Nuts.

Among the mission Indians of Cali food. They gather these industrious ly in the autumn. dry them thoroughly in the sun and store them for winter use in huge bins, which hold ten bush els or more. These bins are of wick CT work and look like inverted bas- kets Very often they are covered with canvas to protect the contents from rain and snow and are placed upon elevated platforms to prevent the dampness of the ground affect. ing them.
 When used for food purposes the squaws pound the acorn kernels into q coarse meal. Sometimes they bake this into a cake. but generally it ia made into mush.
 To make the mush they first mix 1t with water SO as to form a thin batter. This Is boiled by allowing very hot stones to fall into and cook It. When the stones in the vessel have lost their heat they are taken out with . long lade and are replaced by freshly heated ones.
 When the mixture has been we'll cooked the bowl Is placed on the ground and the mush allowed to cool The entire family gathers about to enjoy the feast, and one and all con- vey the food to their mouths with the palms of their hands.

THE LOG CABIN DEMoCRAT-DAILY EDITION

familiar with his career as one of the ablest men who has sat on the supreme bench in this state in recent times, he will not suffer by compari son with the intellect of Senator Clarke. Clean, honorable and ener- getic, he will devote himself sincerely and earnestly to the service of the people
 The Democrats of Faulkner county, we feel quite sure, will say in no un- certain tones that Judge Kirby Is the man who should succeed Senator Clarke

THE SENATORIAL RACE.

The announcement of Judge Joseph M. Hill that he will not enter the race for the United States senate will probably have the immediate effect of aligning that element of the Arkan- sas Democracy which does not favor the election of Senator Clarke for third term solidly to the support of Judge William F. Kirby. Judge Cof- fin can hardly be considered seriously as factor in the race and there is little likelihood of another candidate entering at this time.
 Had Judge Hill decided to enter the race he would undoubtedly have drawn to his support large number of voters, but with the opposition to Clarke divided between two strong candidates such as Hill and Kirby, the reelection of the senior senator would have been extremely probable.
 The principal and practically the only argument one hears in favor of returning Senator Clarke is that he is man of brilliant intellect and that he has in the process of nearly 12 years service attained a high place in the United States senate. Conced- ing this to be true, it is not an ade- quate reason for according to the sen- ator the unusual privilege of third term. Aldrich of Rhode Island by virtue of brilliant mind and long tenure rose to the pinnacle of prom thence in the senate. So remarkable was his power that he was popularly called the boss of the United States" and it was said that no legislati could be enacted in Congress without his approval. Yet the change in pub lie sentiment was so great during his last term that even a New England legislature would not re-elect him and he was forced into retirement Bailey of Texas went the same route
 In fact, it has been only by virtue of the most sweeping changes ever known in the United States senate during the past two or three years that the masses of the people have come to have any voice in that body. Every change that has been made has been the substitution of pro- gressive Democrat or progressive Re publican for reactionary.
 Senator Clarke has not been con- spicuously identified with any of the progressive measures which have been before the people in recent years. He belongs to the standpat wing of the party, which is now fast being rele- gated to the rear. He is bitter enemy of William J. Bryan, regarded by millions of voters as the greatest Democrat since Jefferson. Elected to second term without opposition, he has not been publicly before the peo- pie or sought to ascertain their sen- timent Twelve years have brought vast changes in the attitude of the American people, yet MT. Clarke has not changed.
 There is no reason why Judge kir- by, if elected should not very soon attain an equal degree of prominence in the senate and render services 1 much more acceptable to his con- lstituency. Coming fresh from the people, with whom he has been con- stantly and closely associated for many years, he knows as well as any man in the state, and better than Senator Clarke could know, their will and their needs.

Governor Johnson and the Law

The action of Governor Johnson California petition for a communication of the of Ralph Farss, the murderer, should commend itself to all governors Fariss held up train and killed a railroad who did respond quickly enough to the command Hands up The murderer quickly captured identified, and confessed He manifested contrition most murderers do, and hoped that his life might be prolonged in order that he might for much of it had been mis- spent
 But he sentenced be hanged. and imme- diaely it discovered by relatives and friends of Fariss that he abnormal though they had really thought it before Petitions were for warded the governor by that class of people who profess believe that "a be put better than be hanged" To these petitions the governor does have thought that reply was necessary.
 At the eleventh hour a petition received from the widow of Fariss victim She did the murderer hanged That would restore her husband her She didn't believe in the death penalty. The governor replied to this petition with out expressing any opinion of his the su5- ject the death penalty. Such expression of opinion would have been manfestly improper for no man, official private citizen. should his opinion against existing law. His duty he said. ascertain whether there any reasons previously made known, why the sentence should not be executed. None had been presented to. him.
 Replying in a general way to petitioners, he said: Tt would be better for the good people who ask me to abrogate a plain law, forth and demand that law imposing the death penalty. rather than demand that l aside the solemn judgment of jury
 There is, believe, a movement foot in California. there is here, in the shape of initiated measure, for the abolition of capital pun ishment Whether that will prevail there or not is uncertain. but there is thing certain and that is that it has not yet prevailed. and the law still stands for the guidance of the governor. He will interfere with it's execution so long as it is the law will he disregard it in the pros pect that it may time not be the law.
 In this state we have nearly half score of mur- derers under sentence of death. some or them having stood within the unterrifying shadow ot the gallows for nearly years. If as is entirely probable the people shall declare for capital pun ishment next November. with just as much reason as these death sentences have been suspended they may be further suspended one, two or dozen years in the expectation that time the people will change their minds and abolish capital punishment
