tor Clarke encouraged opposition to him in his last race for the senate, and that he secretly gave that oppo- sition his support.
 "Smarting under these and similar outrages often repeated, and believ- ing that Senator Clarke had broken faith with his people, my father had for more than a year been planning Senator Clarke's defeat, and only two days before his death, on the eve of his departure for Washington, where he expected to be gone for sometime, he told me that he intended to devote enough time to Senator Clarke's race to defeat him, expecting to oppose him publicly; that the time had come when he and Senator Clarke could no longer remain in the senate together"
 Like voice from the past but one that has a most important bearing upon the present crisis, are the ex- cerpts from Senator Davis letters to his law partner Hon. Frank Pace.
 There is bunch of eastern Ar kansas fellows up here, who are per- sonal and political enemies of mine, none of whom 1 have spoken to for years" as he wrote on April 12,, 1912 "As I passed out of the senate cham Der yesterday, Clarke was talking to this bunch in the hallway, and as passed he hollowed at me, and want ed to know if I did know this bunch of gentlemen. I told him I did and passed They hollowed and laughed at the top of their voices. He did this only to embarrass, and insult me, at myself, I would have; given the whole bunch, including Clarke, good cursing, but I am not in any ccndi- tion to allow myself to become exas- perated or get in fit of anger, so 1 said nothing and passed on.''
 At another time he wrote, Clarke, as usual, was lined up with the Re- publicans"
 May ?, 1912, he wrote: Clarke has entirely outgrown his trousers on account of his victory in electing Martin leader, which, of course, gives him a little temporary prominence, which he has never had before"

Want Simple Enolish.

Yes" said the earnest professor, what we want in literature is direct and simple English"
 The listeners gravely nodded.
 Direct and simple" they echoed.
 Those conglomerated effusons of vapid intellects.' the professor went on, which posed in lamentable. atti- tudes as the emotional and intellectual ingredients of fictional realism fall far short of the obvious requirements of contemporary demands and violate the traditional methods of the transcend. ent minds of the Elizabethan era of glorious memory. Plain and simple English is the demand of the hour
 Whereupon everybody applauded and went home.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

Dyes From Sawdust.

Fer many years the French have ex- tracted coloring dyes from sawdust. The sawdust, it appears, is acted upon by sulphur and caustic soda in a fur mace. Sulphuretted hydrogen is lib- erated in large quantities and the veg etable substance, whatever it may be. is rendered soluble in water to which it imparts a strong color, varying with the substance employed These solutions are employed as dyes, which are fixed by passing the fabric through boiling bichromate of potash.

Early Knowledge of Cancer.

The Egyptians recognized cancer as growth within the tissues of the body, and Celsius elaborated upon this when he discovered that some growths were malignant and some benign. Then in 1S0 B. c. Leonides declared that the only hope of cure lay in erad- icating the growth entirely from the body.
 Today the fact remains that cancer Is a growth within the cell tissue of the human body. but the cause of 1t Is little better understood.
