Jones of Arkansas died at his residence here at 5:30 Monday afternoon, after an illness of a few hours, aged C9 years.

Governor poitland, t'hiiinberlain, Democrat, is th-- choice rt the people of Oregon for th-- United Stales senatorship, to succeed Charles Y. Fulton, Republican, and a Republican legislature ha-- been chosen to elect him. Chamberlains victory is more in the nature of a personal triumph. Oregon normally is Republican. and in 1901 Roosevelts plurality was 42.434. Governor Chamber-laihas twice been elected governor cl this state. The selection of Chamberlain by tire people is but a preliminary step to the senatorship. In Oregon candidates lor the legislature allign themselves Ore. s n either in the Statment No. 1 col- t No. 1" umn or in the tolumn. Statement No. 1 is a pledge to support in the legislature the candidate having the endorsement of the people, and the antis prefer to elect a senator by the old system. The complexion of the next legislature, as indicated by the returns, v ill be almost solidly Republican,, and It may be the lot of a Republican legislature to send a Democrat to the senate. Already there is talk of from the ranks of the Statement No. 1 legislators, and it is not improbable that in the seven months intervening between now and the date ot the next session of .the legislature tome plan may be devised to beat Chamberlain and send a Republican to the United States senate.

How She Was. Made to Realize That Little Things Were Important. And youve lost your crown again, my daughter? asked the queen, reprovingly. The princess hung her head, it was a heavy old thing, anyway, your majesty," she petulantly answered; and trifles are trifles, so there8 no use worrying over such a little mat- Indeed, there were few matters that the princess did not consider trifling. She liked to romp and indulge in the boyish games of her brothers. Not at all cared she for the pastimes of most So that when she little princesses. carelessly broke the head of her wonderful doll, she said it was a mere trifle, and thought no more about it. When she lost magnificent rings and other jewels, it didnt matter they weren't (if, any use in games, you know. And when, in leaping over hedges, she tore her costly silken garments almost into shreds, she wasnt troubled in the least. Trifles are trifles," Eaid she; one must think of the more important matters. But the queen mother didnt agree with her careless little daughter, who had earned the name far and wide of Princess Tatters. Something must be done and that very soon unless the princess be altogether spoiled in character. One day, however, Princess Tatters rushed wildly about the royal grounds, crying for every one to help her search for her favorite pony. She had been to the roal stables, and there she was told by a hostler that, somehow', the pony had escaped. And now she vowed she would not eat or sleep until the pony was found. All the men about the castle she bade hunt for her pet. Hardly had the servants begun to do her bidding, when lhe queen Issued an order for them to return to their duties, and then, calling to her daughter, she said: I cannot permit the men to forsake their work for such a trifle.

Princess Tatters bowed her head in sobbed shame. Oh, your majesty, she, I know I deserve this punishment for all my carelessness; but I do so want my pony. And if you'll have It brought back to me, I'll promise not to be Princess Tatters any more. I'll be a neat, tidy, good little princess. The queen kissed the princess, and then whispered a word to an attendant. Soon the pony was reported back again safe and sound in the royal stable. The princess was never told, of course, that her, pet had been hidden on purpose. But no longer was there occasion for the queens reproof, and gradually the name of Princess Tatters was forgotten.

He loved his mother and sister with all bis heart, but then the longing to be a soldier was growing day by day.

Although Rama's duties were now greatly increased, he minded them not at all. For the old soldier, who was now well enough to be out of bed, spun many a tale of the camp and march. Rama hung upon every word that came from the battered warrior's lips as he told of exciting skirmishes and long, hard campaigns. All of these descriptions the boy treasured, and he longed for the time when the soldier would be recovered sufficiently to leave the house. Then he meant to ask him about the use oi all warlike weapons, and to plead for instruction in their handling. Ixing after Putai became well he lingered about the village, assuming many of the tasks Rarna was wont to do and intent upon showing his gratl tude to Rama's mother by providing her with a better living. And he was Ramas companion as well. He obtained all the weapons employed by the Goorkhas and, to the boy's keen delight, taught him the manual of arms. The boy was an apt pupil and rapidly became proficient. Now the lads of the village, as hag been suggested, were enthusiastic in their solider games. They were organ ized into a little company, each mem her with his established rank. Uni forms they had, with the round cap worn by British riflemen, and some times even small arms. About once a fortnight there was held a meeting when, after close competition, election of officers was held. Rama was present at the next elec tion.
