Marry and Be Merry

Hey Young felers. don't let yourselves in for the
dawgondest dsmaest feeling in the world This feeling
comes when after you've been fairly well eonented to spend
your life in single bessedness wondering what to do with
your evenings GUESSING the cys various beaneres dur
Ing the day you Unexpectedly bump into that odtme pal
Of yours for whom were best man when he married
that ratte-braned Snpkins girl. .
Your pal has his family out bouncing in sway backed
fivver but rosy and happy the leading mil
1ionaire of the bouevards Hey, old top he shouts nj
YOU whats the matter? You look million years Old It's
cinch you're married-you wouldn't look old If you
were
AS you glance at his wife, who has developed into a
fine attractive woman and at his dear chubby chater1ng
children you feel algone down-andout, clammy sort
Of gasp in the pit of your stomachthe world suddenly
turns blue you feel altogether useless want to
crawl somewhere and pass And do totter into
spot where the wrinkles at the of
won't show and where you give yourself good swift
lick for not following your pals advice and marrying
good wife early like he did
Then you make sudden resolution. It's not too late
yet. You'll marry nice girl and have fine family
Of your And hustle around and find all the nice
girls busy marrying young that they have time
for you and you forced to chin with their aged unces
and cousins and aunts
And then. when you've thoroly Weakened up to the fact
that you've missed out ifes best you wonder how
feel terribly old and unnecessary and all that
and still live
Take it from od-timer, young timers, it's dawgone
dismal feeling.

Croft and the Lamping Bill

To the unnitated there must be cohsldeaoe peTeNI1
- to why Senator Croft who is always ready to assert his
fervid pariotSm should show such intolerance of the Lamp
ing bill
Let it be understood quite plainly that Groffs opposl-
ton is not to the measure but to tamping. The latter
is not tool of the Croft combination in the senate lie
acts independently.
Had il not been for that the Lamping bill probably
would have had easy sailing instead of fighting every inch
of its way
The idea of compensating ex-servee men In cash
lump admits of little debate on the merits OF the
matter
But the merits of the of little concern to men
like Croft politicians first last and all the time
So in the desperateness which him when he
realized that public sentiment may despite him. force the
Lampng bin thru Croft sinks to the level of the gutter
to berate Iampngs military conduct under fire-basely
and gnobly sanderng him.
Ii the senate had any gumponif the senate had real
manhood-t would mpeach Croft as guilty of indecent
conduct.

GOVERNOR DENIED PETITION
 FOR PARDON OF LIFE-TERMER

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-The governor yesterday denied the petition for the pardon of E. E. Satterwhite of Clark county, who was convicted last March of assault upon Miss Edna Satter- white, his step-daughter and niece, and sentenced to life imprisonment. The application for the pardon was based upon an affidavit made by the prosecuting witness that the story she told before the grand jury and the petit jury, resulting in the convic- tion of her step-father, was false. The governor, after listening to all the testimony, announced his convic- tion of Satterwhite's guilt, and re- fused to grant the pardon. 9 large petition of remonstrance was filed with the governor.
