The Lynch-Day organization is not disposed to let Dan Lawler get the nomination by default.—Minneapolis Journal. Arkansas, Arkansas, which was named by one of the worst spellers in history, is pronounced “Arkansaw” and is a partially raw state situated along the Mississippi river on its west side. Arkansas has 53,000 square and partially dry miles and 1,600,000 people, a great many of whom wear shoes both summer and winter. No- body knows how the state got all these people, but it is surmised that most of them were visiting in the vicinity when the Mississippi river steamboats thinned out and were un- able to get home afterward. The state is now isolated from the rest of the country by a number of casu- al dilettante railroads. The star of empire passed it 500 miles to the north on its way westward. The tourist glides swiftly by on the north, south, east and west and only the intrepid real estate agent and the in- valid with a consuming thirst for sulphur water now penetrate into its fastnesses and explore it. The early history of ‘Arkansas was written in shakes and shivers and the principal literature of the back- woods is still the ague cure adver- tisement. In 1861 Arkansas seceded with the rest of the south. It came back in 1868, but this fact was not noticed by the nation or the inhabi- tants for many years. Only recently a local statesman named Jefferson Davis arose and has since become senator, receiving the enthusiastic votes of many Arkansans Wwho thought they were voting for the or- iginal Jeff. Arkansas produces coal, cotton, lumber, corn and tall Gothic hogs 80 thin that they are only visible from the side. The eastern part of the state is navigable by scows and long-legged cattle, while the western section is mountainous and can be navigated successfully by balloons and democratic wagons. To reach Arkansas go to Memphis, Tenn., cross the high bridge and wade west. Arkansas has severa] fine cities, a Carnegie library, some universities and a future. It also has Hot Springs, the greatest cure for rheumatism and fatty degeneration of the pocketbook in the west. ' It has fewer aristocrats, plutocrats and automobiles than any nessee congressman, old today. Dr. Samuel A. Eliot, president of fifty-one years|county. E. J.
