We know a man with such a good
memory that he can name the last
six vice presidents of the United
States without hesitation.
“If Christ were on earth,’’ says a
Bull Moose editor, “He would be in
sympathy with the Progressive
movement.” And the Kansas Gity
Journal meanly comments: "Pos
sibly He might have been given
second place on the ticket instead
of Johnson.”
There is neither reason nor com
mon sense in getting mad and sev
ering friendships because of differ
ences of opinion in regard to politi
cal or religious matters, and the
man who loses his tember because
others have opinions different than
his own, shows a deplorable lack of
ability to appreciate human rights
and common justice.
Two Republican parties in Ar
kansas represent the intense desire
of members of the old G. O. P., to
get into Federal offices. The
present postmasters are holding
tight to Clayton and Taft, while
the ex-postmasters are getting
tired of waiting to be called back
and have started another Republi
can party, under the charming and
euphonious title of “Bull Mooses."
The financial condition of the
state is distressing the Republican
party in Arkansas very much.
They have forgotten the fact that
there was the vast sum of 67 cents
in the State Treasury when Clay
ton's cohorts walked out of the
State House. How that 67 cents
rr a iaged to stay there has always
b'?an a great mystery. It must
1 ave rolled into a corner and been
d, covered when the Democratic
b;oom swept the Republican dirt
out of the vault.

How It Is Done.
Mrs. Nellie Brewster Arrests Ruiv
away and Brings His Waitress
Friend to Prison So She Can
See Him Incarcerated.
Pprtland, Ore.—“Here's a man for
whom for two weeks you’ve had a
warrant for non-support. Put him in
jail,” commanded Mrs. Nellie Brew
ster, marching into the sheriff's office
with her husband. Ben Brewster, In
tow. “I found him mighty quick when
I made up my mind to go after him
myself.”
Brew’ster was taken to the seventh
floor of the courthouse and locked up.
As soon as she had satisfied herself
that he was safely incarcerated Mrs.
Brewster turned on her heel and
walked down town again. She went
directly to a restaurant in which is
°mployed the young woman she
harges with having stolen her hus
band's affections.
“Put on your hat and come with
ne. I want to show’ you where I put
your sweetheart," the wife ordered.
The waitress protested, but ail in
vain. Mrs. Brewster threatened to
make a scene in the establishment
and the waitress, fearful of losing her
job, went along. Up to the court
house they traveled and straight to
the seventh floor.
“Ixiok at him. He’s there In jail.
I Just brought you up so that you
■would know first hand where he was
and not miss him tonighf,” Mrs.
Brewster flung in th© teeth of her
rival. “He’s ruined my life, but he
Is the father of my two babies. You
say he has ruined your life. All right,
you may be fooling me, but I'll take
your word for it. You may go.”
Mrs. Brewster refused the request
of the waitress to be allowed to speak
♦o the man in the case. She escort
ed her husband's waitress friend to
ihe door of the courthouse, where they
parted.
‘‘On the way up from the room
where I found them together ‘Hen’
was smoking a cigarette,” said Mrs.
Brewster In county court when her
husband was before Judge Oleeton.
‘‘I ordered him to throw it away, and
he did It after I had told him that he
was breaking the hearts of his father
and mother and that, he had no re
spect for them or for me. T said:
‘Ren, maybe this will be the last two
blocks you will ever walk with me In
your life, but you’re going to respect
me for as long as It takes us to walk
it. Throw that cigarette away.’ ’*
Judge Cleeton postponed the hear
ing after Informing Rrewster that he
would require him to put up a bond
for $600 to guarantee the payment of
eight dollars a week to his wife and
babies, the younger of whom Is just
four months old.
"You may go back to your mother
at Umatilla. There is no necessity
of your staying and adding to your
expense. Your husband Ttos practical
ly pleaded guilty,” the judge said to
Mrs. Rrewster.
"No, sir: I am going to stay hpre
and see this thing through. T want
to make sure that It Is done right. I
want to teach him a lesson that he'll
remember for the rest of his life. T
promised his mother that 1 would al
ways do my best to kep him straight,"
returned the woman.
“Get a divorce from him? And
give him a chance U) marry that other
girl and probably go to the devil en
tirely? I should say not,” Mrs. Brew
ster said in answer to a question.
“He can't get a divorce from me. and
I won’t give him the satisfaction of
getting one from him. Resides, I do
not believe in divorce.”
“JOKE” WAS ALMOST FATAL
Man Telephoned to Mother of Broth
er’s Arrest for Murder and
She Swooned.
Atlantic City, N. ,T.—As the result
of a practical joke played over the
telephone by her son. Mrs. Yetta Na
thanson, 228 North Connecticut ave
nue, fell unconscious. Medical atten
tion was hurriedly procured, as she
was at first thought to be dying from
heart failure, but she was revived.
Mrs. Natlianson called up her son,
John J. Nathanson, a merchant, to
ask the cause of the delay of his
younger brother, employed by him ns
a driver, in arriving home. Nathan
son saw an oportunity of perpetrating
a “joke” upon his mother, and pro
ceeded to tell her that the young man
had murdered a man and was arrest
ed, but was interrupted in his blood
curdling tale by a choking sound, fol
lowed by the crash of his mother’s
body as she fell unconscious.
The fall was also hoard by inmates
of Mrs. Nathanson's home and they
rushed to her aid.
“Peeper” Caught by Girl.
De Beque, Colo.—Pearl Hoppei, 18
years old, is a heroine of I)e Beque as
the result of her single handed cap
ture of Frank E. Lynch, a hobo whom
she found peeping in her bedroom
window recently. Miss Hoppei was
about to disrobe when she caught a
glimpse of a face at the window.
She coolly stepped into the next
room, secured her father’s revolver,
and went out the back door. Going
around the house, she found the tramp
still on his knees under the window.
She compelled him to rise, and, cov
ering him with the revolver, marched
, him to the residence of City Marshal
Mason, who placed him in jail.

; Hilda’s Resurrected •
j Angel , I
"You look just like Hilda’s angel,
but don't you tell her I said so,” warn
ed the child as she scrutinized the
new guest at St. Francis' Hotel in the
Cumberlands. She lives over yonder."
Graham Elliot turned and looked in
the direction indicated by the child
and saw a small stone lodge. Vines
whose leaves were beginning to color
early as they do in the mountains
clambered over the rai’ing on the
porch. A collie sat upright on the top
step in the sunshine.
Elliot put his hand over his mouth
and gave a sharp whistle. Muffled as
it was, the collie heard and spring
erect barking, looking eagerly along
the road. The door of the lodge
opened and a woman appeared.
“Hold me up quick so Hilda can
see! ”
Elliot picked the child up and held
' her so that his own face was shielded.
"She didn’t even see me,” said the
child wistfully as the lodge door
closed. “She never looked over here.”
“And what is Hilda’s angel, little
girl?"
“You look like him,” said Dorothy, ;
gravely. “Don't call me little girl.
I’m Dorothy Fairfax Fielding. We’re ;
spending the summer here ’cause
mother has the hay fever.”
“Well, Dorothy Fairfax Fielding,
you haven't told me about the angel.”
“You look an awful lot like him.
Hilda keeps Ills picture on her desk
with some flowers in a little bowl
right before it all the time. He looks
as if he's smiling at you over the
flowers.”
“What is Hilda’s other name?"
"Just Hilda. Mr. McReynolds says
the name just suits her. He is the
man who writes books and loves
Hilda ”
"Let’s go see Hilda. Maybe you'll
love her too.”
“No, thank you. Dorothy. 1 had a
good angel once and I loved her and
lost her so I don't want to love any
more.”
"Mother,” called the child, suddenly
spying a graceful figure in the door
way, “some here! Isn’t he like Hilda’s
angel?”
Laughingly, Mrs. Fielding ap
proached and assisted by the new
comer himself, Dorothy proceeded to
introduce them.
“Hilda is the one passion of my
small daughter’s heart, so if you
would keep in her good graces, you
must at least pretend to be a devotee
at the shrine of wisdom and beauty
on the mountain.”
"You must meet our goddess, at any
rate, Mr. Elliot. She is a rare wo
man, one in a thousand, and that is
saying a great deal, considering that
I am a woman, too. She is giving a
tea this afternoon at 4. I'll see that
you are asked.”
"Come on and go with me down the
mountain, Mr. Elliot,” begged Dor
othy. “I gather fresh flowers for
Hilda’s angel every day.”
The tea was a great success. All
the hotel guests were there and the ]
hostess, in her soft gray gown, moved :
among her guests dispensing hospital- \
ity with a grace and charm that add j
ed fresh laurels to her social brow j
When the last guest had gone. Hilda
sat down in a great arm chair before
the blazing hickory logs. .There was
a familiar tap and then Dorothy open
ed the door.
“I've brought company, Hilda.”
“Doesn’t he look like your angel?
Here are the flowers for yonir picture.
We went after them early this after
noon. hut wre got lost, really, truly
lost. Hilda."
The man’s hand met hers in a firm
warm clasp that sent the blood to her
throat and brow. She felt that she
could not speak; something w'as chok
ing her.
“I want to see your angel, ptense
Dorothy says we are very much
alike.”
Silently she led him to the little
desk, took the flowers from the low
howl and replaced them with Dor
othy's fresh mountain blossoms.
“There is a striking resemblance.”
she said smiling a little as she turned
the picture so that he might see the
face in the glow of the fire.
“Hilda, can it be true? Is H. pos
sible? And they say you are w-riting
stories for children! For children.
Hilda! Is it true?” Awakened love,
possible love, had set his blood afire.
“It's all true,” she answered quietly
"But you left me because you said
you were not a domestic woman, that
you didn't want a home life and—"
"I didn’t know.” she Interposed
quickly. “1 wanted you to be an ar
tist, to write poetry, to rave over pink
sunsets and lonely pine trees. I didn’t
know. Oh, I didn't know.”
"And who taught you?”
“Dorothy.” she said broken. “ ‘Tls
an old story of a little child leading
them.”
He held out strong, inviting arms
and she walked straight into the shel
ter of them.
Reminiscences.
“There are no pirates now to make
you walk the plank.”
“No. But a few got me last sum
mer on the board walk at a seaside
resort.”

Tennessee Democracy |
Ready to Abandon
Statewide Prohibition
Tennessee has enjoyed the blessings of Statewide
Prohibition for nearly three years.
The dominant party seems to have had enough of
it, in view of the fact that instead of stopping the
sale of liquor in the four cities of Memphis, Nash
ville, Chattanooga and Knoxville, it increased the
number of saloons.
It took Alabama just the same length of time to
repudiate Statewide Prohibition.
The State Democratic Convention in session at
Nashville August 16 adopted an amendment to the
platform providing for Local Option in the large
cities of the State.
