DEFINITION OF HOME.

A prize was offered recently by
the London It'd Bits for the best
answer to the question, what is
Home2" Here are a few of the an
swers which we're received:
The gold setting, in which the
brightest jewel is mother"
A world of strife shut out, a
world of love shut in.
Home is the blossom, of which
heaven is the fruit.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and faiiings of fallen humani-
ty are hidden under the mantle of
charity
The place where the great are
sometimes small and the small Of
ten great
The fathers kingdom, the chill
drens paradise, the mothers
world
The jewel casket, containing the
most precious of all jewels-domes
tic happiness,
Where you are treated best and
grumble most,
Home is the central telegraph
Office of human love, into which
run innumerable wires of affection,
many of which, though extending
thousands of miles, are never dis
connected from the one great ter
minus.
The center of our affections,
around which our hearts best wish,
es twine.
A little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill Of the world where we
can be shielded from its cares and

BRIGHT STAR LETTER.

BRIGHT STAR, ARK, April 81, '95,
Editor TEXARKANIAN:
Perhaps a few dots from these
parts will be of some interest.
Farmers are generally up with
their crops.
Rain is wanted badly at the pres
ent date.
Black birds are numerous. They
have pulled up many fields of corn,
and several are planting over.
Farmers in these parts are planting
heavily in corn, and the wide row
system indicates large pea crop.
The blasters are keeping up war
like roar on the K. c., P. & G.. rail
road in this vicinity. We hope soon
to hear the iron horse making
schedule time on this road Let
her come-land will advance, saw
and shingle mills will be built, tim
Der will be in demand. This will
help us, as well as cheaper freight
rates.
Miller county has her foot on top
'ot whiskey, and she will be way on
top when the two railroads are com
pleted.
Our log men are growing despond-
ent over the failure of the back wa
ters of Sulphur, on which they are
relying to float their timber to their
respective mills. A failure IN this
water means a loss of thousands of
dollars to many of our best citizens.
Every line of business has it's
drawbacks, as well as the cheap
cotton grower,
There is never a day so sunny
But that cloud appears;
There is never a life SO happy
But that has it's time of tears.

war he began reading law and showed
such decided talent for the legal profess
sion that he was admitted to the bar be-
fore he was 21 years of age by special
act of the legislature, and at once en-
tered upon a career at the bar that has
been very successful and lucrative one.
In 1870 he was elected prosecuting at
torney for Garland county. Two years
later he was presidential elector for his
district and ran for congress on the Re-
publican ticket The district was a
stronghold of Democracy, but Bradley
was beaten by a greatly reduced major
ity. In 1875 he tempted fate again in a
congressional race, but was defeated a
second time. Six years later he was for
a third time nominated for congress,
but declined to run. Not long before he
also refused the nomination for attorney
general of the state In 1880, 1884 and
1888 he was elected a delegate at large
to the national Republican conventions
and in the last named year was a candi-
date forthe nomination of vice president
and received considerable support in the
convention.
In 1887 Mr.. Bradley ran for governor
of Kentucky and received 1O5, 900 votes,
but was beaten by S. B. Buckner, the
ex-Confederate general who surrendered
Fort Donleson to General Grant in 1862.
In 1880 and in 1891 Mr. Bradley was a
member of che Republican national
committee, and in 1889 President Har-

but the mission was declined. Twice
during his career Bradley has been NOM

The average baby, on being lifted
from his morning tub, usually begins
to Shrek madly. It is not, as one
might easily imagine, because he hates
to leave that comfortable spot; but it is
because the cold air strikes suddenly
upon his little wet chest and stomach
and gives him an unpleasant shock. If
he is lifted sidewise, or even head first,
and rolled up quickly in his warm bath
blanket he seems to enjoy the operation
much better, and usually waits until he
is half dressed before be begins to
wail.-BabyhoOd.
