HOW r\AUL> SET A HEN.
aud Muller on a summer’s day
t a lien m a brand-new way.
, you see, was a city girl,
the rural life a whirl.)
[he covered the box with t insel gay,
lined it snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
tarted to look for a likely hen.
)ut of the tiock selected one,
then she thought that her work
was done.
It would have been, but this stubborn
hen
Stood up and cackled ‘‘Ka-doot!’’ and
then
Maud Muller came.and in hurt surprise
Looked coldly into the crcatu re's eyes:
Then tied its legs to the hox. •you bet
know how to make you set.”
Hut still it stood, and worse and worse
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni
verse.
Kicked over t he box wit h bs t iusel ga \.
And ign< mii.ionsly flapped away.
Then a laid hoy, over the barn yard
fence.
Tee-Ins u: ‘ Say, Maud, there's a dilf
erence
“’Tween le i s. you know, and it is that
One says ‘Ka-doot’ and one ‘Ka-dat 1' "
Then Maui recti I led that the ugly brute
She tried to set had said “Ka-doot!”
And every since that historic day
She blushes in an embarrassed way
To t hiuk of t he hobble she made o nee
when
She tried to set a gentleman hen.
WORLD'S FAIR ECHOES
Every type of plow, from the old im
plement with one handle and a wooden
mold-board, to the modern invention
by which from 30 to 35 acres of ground
can be broken daily, is shown in the

Tapestry work 250 years old, 22 by

INVENTIONS OF SAVAGES.
Articles of Present-Day Utility Had
Their Origin with Prim
itive Peoples.
Mortar was made by the people
of Tahiti when our ancestors were
shivering in holes in the rocks.
They dived into the sea, brought
up great lumps of coral, burned
them in pits, using wood as fuel,
and mixed tin* lime they got in this
fashion with sharp sand and wa
ter. With this mixture tin* ingen
ious savage plastered the walls
and lloors of his house, and a bet
ter mortar could not be obtained.
Another purely savage inven
tion which is perhaps the most fa
miliar object of modern life is the
tobacco pijK'—not only the com
mon clay, which the North Arner
\ican I ndians molded centuries ago
out of the red sandstone of Col
orado, but the wooden pipe, the
prototype of the everyday briar.
The bowl was hollowed out of any
well-seasoned piece of hard wood,
but the stem rather puzzled peo
ple who had no augers. In some
savage pipes which have crooked
stems the wood of which tb<“
latter was composed has been
split, each piece hollowed sepa
rately and the two pieces nicely
spliced together again.
The great steam plow that tills
with steel point ten acres of land
in a day is the direct descendant
of tin* savages’ wooden plow
which oxen pulled, or, before oxen
were domesticated, a team of
women hauled through the soil.
NEXT U. S. SENATORSHIP
Does Gov. Davis’ Reduced Majority
in Recent Election Point to
His Defeat for SenatorP
In political circles there is much
talk concerning' the effect of the j
recent state election on the next
United States senatorship. Gov.
Jeff Davis, who failed to receive
the votes of all the democrats vot
ing in the recent election, is an
avowed candidate for senator, to
succeed Senator Berry, whose
county, usually democratic by j
from 1,200 to 1,500 majority, was
carried by Davis by a plurality of
only 30 votes.
Senator Berry has not yet made
any public statement relative to
Ids intentions. In the event that
lie is not a candidate for another
term there will be others in the
race, and it appears likely that
there will be four or five entries,
no matter what course the senator
takes. Congressman S. Brun
didge Jr. of Searcy is regarded as
a probable candidate in the event
Senator Berry does not run, and
the Arkansas (iazette says that
Congressman Joe T. Robinson is a
prospective candidate, either for
governor or senator, in 1906. Ex
Governor Dan \\\ Jones has fre
quently been spoken of in connec
tion with the senatorship, and now
and then the possibility of ex-Sen
ator James K. Jones entering the
race in case Senator Berry does
not run is discussed.
Indications are that there will
be no lack of candidates. The
more the merrier for Gov. Davis,
under the new plan of choosing a
democratic nominee for senator.
The last democratic state con
vention was controlled by the fol
lowers of Gov. Davis, and the
body adopted the plurality plan in
connection with the United States
senatorship. The candidate re
ceiving the highest number of
votes for senator will lx* declared
the nominee for that office. Rules
to govern the primary will be
prescribed by the pro-Davis state
central committee. Under the au
thority given by the Hot Springs
convention it would be possible for
the state committee to set forth as
a qualification for voting in the
1906 primary that the voter must
have cast his ballot for the demo
cratic nominee for governor in
1904. As there were, on a low
calculation, 25,000 democrats who
did not so cast their ballots it will
be seen that the Davis senatorial
candidacy may not be imperiled
by the participation of these dem
ocrats in the primary which is to
settle the senatorship. Neverthe
less, signs are multiplying to the
effect that the next senatorship
will not go to Gov. Davis by de
fault.
NEGRO ASSASSINATED,
Texarkana, Sept. <>.—Henry
Bates, a well-to-do negro farmer,
was assassinated while he slept at
his home three miles north of here
last night. A year ago he killed
another negro, some of whose rel
ati\ es, it is claimed, have been
lately threatening revenge. Two
weeks ago he was tired on while in
his cow lot at night, but escaped
injury, lie has claimed lately
that parties were trying to get in
his house at night to kill him, and
!.iA night he put a Colt’s pistol
under his pillow, stood a Winches
ter by the head of the! bead and
left the door wide open, as he said,
to let his would-be murderers come
in after him if they had the nerve.
At a little past midnight parties
sleeping in other rooms of the
house were aroused by a pistol
shot, and on going into Bates’
room they found him dead, with a
45-caliber bulled, hole in the back
of his head, from which blood and
brains oozed and covered the pist
ol under his pillow. The coroner
is investigating the case.

JUST TREAT US FAIRLY.
The following from an exchange
j gives advice which some people
! should consider. The newspaper
man does not ask something for
nothing, but only desires to be
treated fairly:
“Every man in every town dur
ing the course of a lifetime has to
ask a favor of the editor—not an
exception to this rule. A man
may escape a doctor, keep clear of
the courts, but once in a lifetime,
at least, every man has to go to a
newspaper to ask to have a certain
piece put in a death notice,—or
to have a certain piece kept out or
| to have his name printed in, or
omitted from some item. It is
therefore to your interest to treat
the editor fairly. lie desires to ;,c
fair: lie would rather do the right
; thing than the wrong tiling: but if
you give him a kick the dent of it
may be found in the top of your
own hat some day and you will
never know how it got there.
Don’t think that you are immune;
don’t think that Providence has
especially favored you. Your
time will come, some day, and
when it does come, it will bt* a fine
investment if you have a friend in
the editor's office.
Carelessness with Matches.
Bo careful whore you throw
your matches. The wealth that
was wiped out last year in fires
