Woman, Mans Best Friend.

Ladies' Home Journal.
Among the many letters of query be-
fore me, select one from man. His
question is: "Why is woman mans
best friend? In what respects does she
show it most?'
Well. my friend, this seems a little
question. But since you have asked it
| will answer it.
First and foremost, woman is mans
best friend
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with INN in i'll
ness, endures his fretfulness and
s'mothers" him.
Because she will stick to him through
good and evil report, and always believe
in him if she loves him.
Because without her he would BE rude,
rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words, of kindly thought and of
consideration.
Because she can with him endure
pain quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because. on her breast, he can shed
tears of repentance, and is never re-
minded of them afterwards.
Because when he is behaving like
fretful boy-and we all do. you know.
at timeS-wlth no reason in the world
for it, woman'S soft word, touch or
glance will make him ashamed of him
self, as he ought to be.
Because without her as an incentive
he would grow lazy; there would be no
good work done, there would be no
noble books written, there would be no
beautiful pictures painted, there would
be no divine strains of melody.
Because she has made for us a beautl-
full world in which we should be proud
to live. and cOntented to die.
Because-and this is the best reason
of all-when the world had reached an
unenviable state of wickedness, the
blessed task of bringing it Savior of
all mankind was given to woman.
which was Gods way of setting his seal
of approval on her who is mother, wife,
daughter and sweetheart, and, there
fore, mans best friend.

Witnesses Examined by the Clayton Breckin-
ridge Investigation Committee.

LITTLE Rock. Ark. April 2S-The Clay
on-BreckinrIdge investigation committee
examined 195 witnesses to-day. All but
three were colored voters, who testified
that they were at Plummerville. Conway
county. on the day of the presidential
election and voted for John NJ. Clayton for
Congress. County Judge j. H. Merrill, of
Arkansas county, testified that he always
gave Republican representation on the
election board whenever requested to
do SO. Last year no one asked him to
appoint any Republican, so all the judges
and clerks he named were Democrats.
Sheriff Shelby, of Conway county, testified
that he was at Morrillton when the ballot
box at Plummerville was stolen. AS soon
as he heard of it he went there and made
diligent search for the box, and did all he
could to discover who the thieves were.
When Clayton was assassinated he was In
the northern part of the county. He
came to Plummerville two days after
wards and until the federal government
took charge of the case he tried to find the
murderer. He had number of clews.
and the prosecuting attorney of his dis
trict. He had pistol in his possession found
near the house where Clayton was killed. He
was ordered to deliver it to the committee
next Friday, at which time he will again be
placed on the stand. and be thoroughly ex-
amined in matters pertaining to the Clay
ton murder Over one hundred moro wit
nesses from Howards township will be ex-
amined tomorrow.

printed that the local Grand Army posts
here are somewhat excited over reports
which have been received about the man.
agement of the Soldiers Home at Leaven-
worth, Kan. The reports relate chiefly to
the treatment of the soldiers in the Home,
and a committee of three prominent Grand
Army men has been appointed to investi-
gate the matter. 1t is alleged that the old
veterans are compelled to work in private
brick-yard, adjacent to the Home, for 40
cents a day; that the ''sweat-box' and
"bucklng and gaggingo are used as modes
OF punisnment: that the mail of inmates is
subjected to rigid scrutiny. and that in
stances are on record where money mailed
to soldiers has failed to reach them.
A dispatch is also printed from Leaven-
worth, saying that the investigation at the
Soldiers Home in regard to the alleged un-
Just and cruel treatment of the soldiers
discloses that there is little of the color of
truth to the charges. Labor at the Home
is not compulsory, and the soldiers are sub
ject to little discipline. The soldiers have
received their letters regularly and prompt
ly, so far as could be learned. except in the
case of a soldier named Batison, one of
whose letters was recently opened by mis-
take. The governor and the Home post
master were tried on this charge and the
case was dismissed on trial. The smell

posts at ST Louis, has not yet arrived at the
Home.
