RURAL LIFE IN ARKANSAS.
Something About the Lives of the Poe

Something About the Lives OF the Poor
Women.
The women have a hard life, work
ing in the fields and in the house; they
age early, and die when, under happier
chances, they would be in their prime.
Thus it happens that so many men
have three, or four, or five wives
without" as one honest fellow said
''never fighting with none of 'em." ST
KEEP 'em all decent, an buried 'em ell
In a store coffin" said he. An old
planter, abiding to an unhealthy re-
gion, said: why, right down there 1
buried two or three wives, and four
children, and heap of niggers!'
They are very fond Of their children
and kind to them; unwisely kind, per-
hapS, as we Americans are inclined to
be. To all the other hardships of a
woman's life here is added her mourn
ing for her little children; for the care
less life bears hard on them, especially
in overflow seasons. Sometimes we are
reminded of this in a homely yet af-
fecting way. as yesterday, when in buy
ing some chickens and asking for more,
the little merchant said: '"They amt
no more, only but one old rooster; and
we don't aim to sell him. cause my lit
tie brother that died, he Away claimed
him, and NAV sayed she never would
sell him!"
A queer expression (which is never
theless comm on one here) used by a
poor mother whose little girl was
burned to death. sticks in my memory:
ut ben ten years, now, but amt got
satisfed with it yit.
And poor man, who chung desper-
ately to wretched mortgaged little
farm in the swamp, excused himself
for unwisdom that even he could see by
the plea that his two dead children
were buried there, and my woman,
she hated terribly to have them die,
and she cayn't git satisfied to leave
'em, nohow!"
What a life!" our northern friends
say. Yet it is life with huge anne
liorations. In this country. everyone
has the climate, to begin with. There
are only two months in the year when
we can be said to have cold weather;
and even through these months are
scattered lovely days of truce, filed
with sunshine. Neither need we pay
for our mild winters with hot summers
There are but two months that are
really uncomfortably warm for more
than a few days at time. These are
August and September. They tell US
that the nights are cool then; but l re-
ceive this statement with a degree of
apathy, because never was id any eli
mate so torrid that did not hear it,
or that two blankets did not make
handsome figure in the story. We
sleep under two blankets, like the
jewellers in st. Augustine, Nice, AL
giers, and dare say all the citizens of
the equator that respect themselves
Octave Thanet, in Atlantic.
