The Forrest City times., 1895-01-18

As our governments, national, state and mtf nicipal, rest upon the ballot it is of the hign- est importance that thls ballot should be in- telligent as we'll as honest But much of the good results from an intelligent and honest ballot must be lost until the primary elections are also legalized and made pure.
 While elections are indispensable to free in- stitutions. they are also expensive necessities. To save as much of this expense as possible, consistent with safety and purity. recommend the consolidation of our state and national and municipal elections so that they will all fall on the same day.

CONVICT FARM.

The foulest blot upon the fair name of our state is the convict farm under existing laws Men are tried for trivial offenses a single of. fepse multiplied into several in order to pile up costs and fees, and the convict sentenced to state of worse than slavery for an indefinite period in nearly every instance far beyond the demands of justice. l have among the files of my office petition for the pardon Of one of these victims of this species of outrage signed by the very courts by whom he was tried and convicted. In which they admit that hc was tried by both for the same onense and that he was convicted for four ogenses and yet they say that all these ofenses or charges except one, viz: abusive language. are the re- suit Of the same ofense, and grew out of one altercation or affray at the same time and place. for which he vas con. victea. and is now serving term of LIS days" or more than three years

Praise Your Wife.

"How do l look!" asked a young
wife who stood before her husband
dressed to attend a party with him.
He raised his eyes from the paper
he was reading, looked ut her criti-
cally and said:
"All right. You'll do"
Her heart sunk and ler lips CULVER
ed, but he did not know it. She was
conscious Of looking her best and she
wanted q word of praise or admira-
ton from her husband and she failed
to receive it.
Why was he so grudging of his
praise? Ask the average mar who II
swers his wife in that way when she
asks his opinion as she invariably does
and he will tell you that she always
looks well-dressed in good taste and
above criticism. But why doesn't he
say that to her. or rather why does
he not make a little lover-like speech
for such an occasion? Even the our
teous remarks he would bestow OH the
costume of mn ordinary acquaintance
are withheld from his own wife.
There was a husband-he is dead
now-who used to say to his wife.
'My dear, you are looking charming
this evening"" or, 81 love you best In
that blue dress Of yours" He was q
poor stick Of a man in the way of
worldly success, but his widow canon
lied him for just those loving tributes
given to her with a lovers Difference
after many years Of welded life.

One afternoon in June, when thu
young woman whose duty 1t is to
show visitors about Wellesley College
was particularly weary and warm.
sixteen spruce young Harvard stu
dents appeared and asked to see the
sights Of the place. The young wonl-
an couldn't refuse, so with an assulnp-
ton of cordiality she polited them
from hall to hall and from room to
o Soon they reached the chapel,
and as they paused upon the thresh-
old one of the Harvardites was in
spired to ask: How about the chapel?
Do you have a hard time getting the
girls to go? Whereupon the weary
%cicerone, a trile tried by the question,
answered: "Oh, our girls like to go to
chapel" Quick as a flash the youth
nearest her turned to the youth near
est him and repeated gravely and i'm.
pressively: "Oh, our girls like to go to
chapel" That youth Immediately re-
peated the words to the next, who
passed them along to his neighbor. and
SO ON down the whole sixteen lined up
upon the staircase. 1t was all so
gravely done, too, without a CULVER Of

woman couldn't give vent to her feel

What was more she was obliged to
prolong the ordeal by showing those
youths over all the rest of the college.

THE BASS AND THE LOBSTER.
Disadvantage of the One That Mad,

Disadvantage of the One That Nude
1t a Meal for the Other.
"Under ordinary conditions" said a
fisherman of experience, 1.-The lobster
is able to take care of himself. 1t is
a fighter, and quick in movement; but
there comes a time when it is helpless;
that is when it is shedding its shell.
Even then, however, it is safe enough
IL it a hide somewhere until its new
shell begins to harden and it begins
to get its strength back. But if it has
no hiding place it is in great danger
of being eaten by its enemies.
I'm an aquarium with which 1 was
connected awhile ago we had at n
time a tank in which there were q
striped bass, weighing, l should say,
about five pounds; the lobster was
twelve OF thirteen inches long, and
might have weighed two pounds.
When the lobster was in trim the
striped bass thought of disturb
Ing 1t, but when the lobster began to
shed its shell things were very differ
ent. The lobster couldn't go off and
hide under a ledge of rocks, or In a
crevice or a hollow place worn out by
the water. All it could do was to
scrape out q hole into the gravel in
the bottom Of the tank and crawl into
1t. That device might have succeeded
at the bottom Of the ocean. but IL Tie .
tank the striped Oass could easily see
everything the lobster did, and it
seemed to know what the lobster was
about.
"Lobsters vary in the length of time
1t takes them to shed their shell. 1t
might have taken this lobster about
an hour, and all this time the striped
bass kept an eye on him. 1t would
swim around the tank and look down
on the lobster as though it was sort
Of keeping track Of him, and seeing
how it was getting along. The bass
would e the lobster tugging away at
the old shell and swim on past, and
the next time it came along it would
look down again. Finally, when the
striped bass came loafing around on
n of Its rounds, 1t didn't continue
on. The poor lobster was out of its
shell; helpless, a fighter shorn of his
strength, just a fine meal for a hun
cry striped bass, and the striped bass
pitched in and ate 1t all but q few
tough shreds, which were left scat
tered about. and which the bass didn't
want, for there al s. much of the
lobster that was good and tender
