CLARKE RETURNS HOME.
United States Senator James
i P. Clarke arrived in Little Rock
j Friday morning from the na
1 tional capital, says the Gazette,
and will remain a few days, then
i return to his duties in the senate.
I The senator’s homecoming at
this time appears to have no po
litical significance, and as far as
surface indications show he is
taking no hand in the present
campaign for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination. Sena
tor Clarke is of the attor
neys for the north Little Rod
side of the separation suit, which
j was recently decided by the su
; preme court in fafor of the North
! Side. This and other business of
! a legal nature is understood to
be the cause of his return to
Little Rock. Senator Clarke re
ceived the congratulations of a
! number of friends and constitu
l enfs on his recent speech in the
j senate in favor of ratification of
| the Panama canal treaty.

Catbirds Defeat Blacksnuke,
A writer in the Scientific American
says: “I witnessed a pair of catbirds
making a bold defense against a black
snake bent on devouring the contents
of their nest. At first the snake was in
clined to disregard the distressed birds
as they fought to drive it away, but the
blows of their wings and bills became so
annoying that the thief had to seek
refuge in flight. On reaching the roots
of a tree from which the river had
washed the dirt the snake started to
climb, only to be driven beneath them
and then out to an old stump, under
which the baflled and beaten reptile
took refuge.”
A Good Sale.
“Jones has sold all of his manu
scripts and decided to stop writing.”
“I should think selling them all would
be an incentive to him to write more."
“But he sold them to the junkman.”

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic
Has Achieved Such Wide
Popularity.
Established for nearly a cen
tury and read regularly by more
than 500,000 persons in the west
and southwest, the Twice-a-Week
Republic of St. Louis can justly
lay claim to that enviable dis
tinction, “Favorite Home Pa
per.”
It is great because it has al
ways airrted to inform, instruct
and entertain its readers on all
matters of public and home in
terest. In 1904 it will be espe
cially interesting and valuable.
Here are some reasons why you
should subscribe for it:
This is campaign year and you
will want to be informed of the
movements of party leaders, re
ports of the great national and
state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
election, etc.
You will want to know all
about the World’s Fair, to be
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm
visitor, a regular supplement of
the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
of activity, and through the un
surpassed news and special ser
vice of the twice-a-week Repub
lic you will not be disappointed.
In short sketches, choice bits
of fiction, articles of interest to
women, children and household
suggestions the Twice-a-Week
Republic easily leads among the
weeklies of the great West.
If you want the Twice-a-Week
Republic sent to your address,
