TWO PAPERS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

Nor quite two cents copy is the price asked
for an eight-page weekly, known throughout this
and many other States as the only paper published
in Arkansas devoted to the interests of women.
Fifty-two copies for 81 seems an incredibly low
figure, and yet The WoMAN's CHRONICLE offers in
this issue something more-a premium--not for the
largest number of new subscribers, but to EACH
NEW subscriber for one year.
By special arrangements made with the propre-
tors, the well known and popular paper, "TExAs
FARM AND RANCH" will be given to every new
subscriber for one year. Don't fail to read the
advertisement and send at once to the office OF
WoMAN's CHRONICLE and secure the two papers for
the sum of 81. Sample copies will be sent on re-
ceipt Of 2-cent postage stamp.

aMEhiOA says
'Ever since Eve was created only liz feet and
inches tall to be the helpmate of Adam, who
lowered to the height Of 1913 feet and inches ac-
cording to the calculations of the M. Henricon,
woman has been generally conceded to be inferior
to man. That such is still the case seems to be
indicated by the demeanor Of an Indiana woman,
who lately sought office before the legislature of
that State. On being defeated she straghtway
went into Mysteries. Disappointed office-seekers
of the male sex do not, as a rule, become hyster-
ical. They coolly pocket their defeat, and go to
work to get some other office. Women must take
the same philosophical view of the lottery Of office
seeking, if they wish to compete with men on equal
terms"
Comparing prerogatives in this line is treadng
on highly dangerous ground. Tears have always
been woman's defense-there is no denying it.
Some successful candidates are enough to throw the
archangels into Mysteries. But there was Horace
Greeley-his defeat was said to have killed him.
When Bismarck recognizes an opponent, he mows
him off the face Of the EARTH and in our own State,
endowed so generously by nature with all that is
beautiful, methods Of dealing with antagonists are
so unique that it is high time some one stepped in
to change the order of things and redeem the repu
tation of the State. America is correct. Disap-
pointed office seekers of the male sex do not, asa
rule, become hysterical,

WHY is IT2
BY MARJORIE MUCHMoRE.

She had studied French, Latin and Greek,
And she German and Hindoo could speak,
She could tell every star
That blinked near and far;
She'd of late taken up volapeck.
She reasoned Of things esoteric,
She knew every change atmospheric,
She'd acquired LII. B.,
She aspred to M. D.,
Her ambitions were not ephemeric.
There was many ascience profound,
She was daily called on to expound;
Christian science she scorned,
Books en- mental adorned
Shelves, tables-in fact laid all around
She knew all inathe tlatlos by heart, ,-it-
And she played lovely themes by Mozart,
She talked on psychology,
Adored entomology,
Truth to tell, she was awfully SMART ...
But she foreswore the afternoon tea
Was not welded to frontage de 6rie;
She would not sell her soul
For porcelain bowl.
No French hats nor poodle had she.
Gowns Directoire she never had worn,
Nor danced at swell balls til twas morn;
She wore no Psyche pug
Prayed on no antique rug
And she might as well never been bornl
SOUR lives are songs; God writes the words,
And we set them to music at pleasure,
And the songs grow glad, or sweet, or sad,
As we choose to fashion the measure.
1--WE must write the music, whatever the song,
Whatever Its rhyme or metre;
And If 1t Is sad, we can make 1t glad
Or u sweet, we can make it sweeter." --Tselecte

ELIZABETH THOMPSON, writer in the Union Sig
nal and well-known philanthropist, advance an
idea for retaining little children in large cities
from vice and the inevitable lives of misery they
are bound to lead, by establishing about the coun-
try kindergarten Homes By throwing the best
influence about hopeless little ones from early in
fancy associations might produce results to blot
out the vice often Unborn. An experiment in this
direction would be indeed laudable philanthropy.
The reformation rather than the punishment of
youthful offenders should be the object of all State
legislation in regard to prisons and convicts Upon
this subject the Arkansas Churchman says:
"We sincerely hope the movement in the legis-
lature to establish House of Correction for
youthful criminals may be successful.
''The present system of mixing up young con-
victs with veterans in crime is simply manufacture
ing criminals. Our penitentiary defeats an i'm
portant part of the purpose of punishment, viz,
the reformation of the offender"
The CHRONICLE has been rather modest in pro.

would impress on every farmer the
folly OF planting a single acre of land
in corn-or any other crop-that will
not, under average conditions, pay the
expenses of the preparation and culti-
walton. The estimate should include
not the expense alone, but should also
take into consideration, on the one
hand. the farther deterioration of ex-
haustion of the land, on the other hand
the probable recuperation that would
attend a year of rest. Every farmer
may calculate for himself, but it may
be safely assumed that an acre of land
that will not produce at least ten bush
els of corn with average seasons, ought
not to be planted in corn. Southern

Guernseys.

We are asked about the merits of
the Guernseys. They are a good
breed. They come from the island of
Guernsey. They are larger than the
Jerseys; are very quiet, hardy, good
feeders, and pay well for what they
consume. One OF their admirers de-
clares they can rough it and ''hustle"
like scrub, but to better purpose,
having an unimpaired digestion. They
can stand cold, if necessary, or heat il
so circumstanced. Testimony from
Guernsey herds in Georgia and the
Carolinas. on the Atlantic seaboard,
on the Pacific coast, or in the cold
Northwest, is unanimously in favor OF
the hardness of this race. Some OF
the most celebrated Guernseys inhabit
the bleak, Berkshire hills, and others
are coddled in warm farms in temper
ate climates. 1t is never the Rural
and Stockman's purpose, however, to
intimate that any COW can be abused
and starved with impunity. That is
not the way to keep cows.-Rural and
Stockman.

Care of Sheep.

A writer says that it does not re-
quire much more time to take care of
one hundred sheep at this season than
it does for one or two cows, yet they
need to be looked after every day.
They need fresh water where they can
go to it when they please. Sheep drink
but little at a time. but drink often
when not feeding upon green grass or
eating roots. They need fresh bedding
frequently. They need shed that
will protect them not only from snow
and cold rain, but from drafts of cold
air. The sheep shed should be opened
upon the south side to admit the SUM-
light and allow OF the escape of the
effluvia from the manure under them,
but it should be protected by a board
fence high enough to shelter them
from the wind when lying down.

Texas Muttons.

In Texas muttons to be desirable
feeders must have age, so it is said,
and it is mistaken idea, says the
Texas Livestock Journal. The best
sheep to feed is the lamb first or a
yearling in preference to two, three
or four-year-old. A table in the Mark
Lane Express shows not only that the
gain of mutton sheep under full feed
is considerable, but that the lamb out
feeds the yearling nearly two to one.
The lamb will put on more flesh than
the yearling and will do it on less feed.
The table does not show the feed but
Texas sheepmen can take that much on
trust if so far they have not evidence
to prove the assertion.

Its Decrease In England and Increase in
the United States.
Recent statistics show that while
crime is satisfactorily diminishing in
England, it is rapidly increasing in the
United States. During the past few
years American crime has increased
by not less than one-third, and the
growth OF the prison population has,
unfortunately, been steadily progress
i've since the year 1850. At the close
OF the first half OF this century the
proportion of prisoners to the million
in the United States was 290, being
one to every S,44S persons; but by
1880 the proportion had risen to 1,169
to the million, or one to S55 OF the
population. This did not include
Juvenile delinquents, who would have
raised the proportion to one in 7l5.
In 1857, when the population of En-
gland and Wales was about 10, $50, 900,
the average number Of penal-servitude
sentences in this country was 1859;
but by the end of 1887, when the pop
ulation had risen to over 1880 900.
the averagd number Of such sentences
had fallen to 962. On the last day OF
1869 there were 1850 persons under
going sentences of penal servitude in
England and Wales, the population
then being 2l.Ssl, 900. But in July.
1883. when the population had ad-
vanced to nearly $4,000, 900, the penal
servitude subjects had fallen to 1921.

A LINCOLN ANECDoTE.

What Honest Abe Considered the Proper
Length of a Mans Legs.
A gentleman from the West tells
this story of Abe Lincoln, which, If not
new, is certainly by no means hack
neyed. The gentleman came from the
section in which Abe and Doug
las were conspicuous figures in the
past, and the story he tells relates to
a decision made by Mr.. Lincoln as to
the proper length of q mans legs.
As the story goes, Douglas and a
Mr.. Lovejoy were at one Of the haunts
in the village, where they used to
meet for news and gossip. and while
there Abe Lincoln came in and sat
down, disposing of his lengthy limbs
in somewhat awkward manner.
They saw him coming in, and immc-
diately began conversation in regard
to the proper length OF a mans legs.
"Now." said Lovejoy. "Abe's legs
are altogether too long, and yours,
Douglas, ] think, are a little short
Let 8 ask Abe what he thinks of it
The conversation had been carried
on with view to Lincoln's overhear-
ing it. and they closed it by saying:
"Abe, what do you think about it?'
MIR. Lincoln had PARKWAY look, as
i,o sas i IL. oiic . .cg Twisted around the

ton:

"Well, we've been talking about the
proper length Of man legs. We think
yours are too long and Douglas too
short, and we'd like to know what you
think is the proper length"
WE'LL said Mr.. Lincoln, "that's
d matter tfati'g never given any
thought to, SO, OF course, l may be
mistaken, but my first impression is
that a mans legs ought to be long
enough to reach from his body to the
ground. Yankee Blade.
