Words.

One day q harsh word rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped,
And, like a sharp and cruel dart,
IL pierced fond and loving heart;
it turned q friend into a foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe.
A kind word followed it one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
III healed the wound, it soothed the pain,
And friends of old were friends again
Itmate The hate and anger cease,
And everywhere brought joy and peace,
But yet the harsh word left q trace
The kind word could not quite efface
And though the heart its love retained
1t bore O Scar that long remained;
Friends could forgive, but not forget,
Or lose the sense of keen regret.
Oh, If we could but learn to know
How swift and sure one word can go,
How would we weigh, with utmost care
Eash thought before it sought the air,
And only speak the words that move
Like whitc-winged messengers of love
-Sunday-Sch Times.

There were 10 of then, and they
sat side by side in the street car, filling
up the entire seat, all women and
sleeves, the latter just a little crushed.
A lone man hung to u strap and waited
for some one to get out, and finally one
of them did. Then he looked for the
vacant seat, but it had vanished.
Soon another woman got out, and again
there was no seat. Every time a
woman left u vacant seat, those other
women simply pulled out their sleeves
O I'd moved up.

A Golden Room In a Wooden House.

The longer we live the easier it
ought to he not to estimate u mans
character by the clothes he wears.
orr Young People tells this incident
as illustrative of the mistakes. which
one makes who believes that true
politeness is invariably concealed IN
derneath broadcloth and silk.
One day last summer a beautiful
young girl rustled into q cable car
and sat down with her companion.
Her dress of pure white serge was
fresh from the dressmaker's, and
looked the embodiment of dainty
freshness. Her little gloved hands
held a white parasol, tied with a
knot of yellow ribbons, and remind
ed one Of q great white lily with
golden centre. Of course the car
a crowded, and among the pas
sengers were some Of those Italian
laborers that are now doing the
rough work of our great cities.
Picturesque creatures they are if
II sees them at a distance, with
their shaggy heads. and great, mel
ancholy eyes that look as if they were
always longing for a glimpse Of the
sunny skies of Italy, but maladorous
and to be Stunned if one has to sit
next them for a half-hour, and that
is what this lovely, bright-eyed girl
had to do.
81 think tits DREADFUL" she whis-
pered to her companion. "Why
don't the company refuse to let such
creatures on the cars; or, if they
must ride, | should think they could
stay in the smoker. He will ruin
my dress if l touch him, l know.
just see how he stares at me-"
And so he did, his great eyes
tightening and softening as they fell
Oh the girls fair beauty !; and then
he arose, and leaning forward to
catch the strap, fairly bent over her.
The girl grew FESTIVE under his
attitude.
81 am sure he is very imperti-
nent," she said, 81 have half Il mind
to call the conductor"
And sure enough, when the con-
ductor came around, she motioned
to him.
"Won't you make that man move?:''
she said.
"Move up!"
The words were said in the quick,
sharp tone one uses usually in speak
ing to a cross animal.
"Yees," the Italian answered, "but
see re oil! he bootiful lady, see ?''
The lady looked up, and saw that
the oil lamp had sprung d leak, and
would have dripped all over her had
not this man seen it and, stretching
out his arm above her, formed an
umbrella which had perfectly pro.
tected her beautiful dress and bon
not.
A guilty blush came into her
face, as she bowed her thanks to
him, and murmured to her friend :
cit makes me so ashamed to think
while | was s%corning him and he
knew it, he should have taken such
pains for me. IT'S a lesson | will
not soon forget, that those poor
laborers have bigger souls than |
have. I'll never be scornful to one

of than is suggested by the ar rangement to procure it as set forth above, or that it was acting for tine distiller expressly.
 It is alleged here that Hunter should be held guilty of selling liquor without license, that he was aiding and abettlng the dis filler to sell in violation of law, but Hunter claims he was only a buyer for himself and friends and was not seller, nor was he the agent of the distiller.
 In the opinion ofa majority of the court, as expressed by Mir. Chief Justice Bum, the conten- tion of the State, that where dis tiller, with the aid of coadjutor, procures subscriptions from a number of persons each 10 pur- chase a quantity less than five gal Ions and the aggregate sum con- tributed by all to be deposited with the "go- between" be paid for the package, and then. the same to be subsequently, divided amongst the several purchasers as the sew eral subscriptions call for, is vio. lation of the law as being a mere device to avoid it's penalties, is sound.
 In effect, the court say: That Hunter was "go-between" the distiller and his fellow purchasers
 To hold otherwise, say the court, ''would be but creating s means by which the prohibition against the seller would be ren dered of no effect and mere dead letter on the statute books It would enable persons most easi ly to cheat the law; deprive tht government of her lawful reve nucs, and even infringe upon tht privilege of those who have law fully procured licenses to sell 1T quantities less than five gallons -Ark.

MoNrIcn1LoNIAN:-Sixteen ,re

MoNTIcELLoNIAN:-Sixteen ,re days and tho Arkanss .,egisIature will adlourn s.s die. and in my hum opinion, there will be lit ..e canse for regret. Very few laws of general nature have been enacted up to the present time and from the number of local bills still on the calendar 1 am fearful the balance of the session will not prove fruitful of good re suits.
 The appropriation bills are be- l ing considered. The House has passed two and the Senate one and I sincerely trust that by next Sat urday night all of them will have been disposed of.
 The friends of the Railroad com mission idea are still struggling 2 on, trying to do something with n Commission Bill. If they succeed in passing the one they have, my notion is that three politicians will get good fat offices and the people will have to dance to the tune of paying the salaries.
 To say that am disappointed with the action of the two houses would be to express 1t mildly. The House killed the misdemean. or bill and the Senate the felony bill last week. Both Ol these measures would have saved our counties thousands of dollars, an, nnally; but from fanaticism or oth. CT causes these two bills have been killed, and now, I am frank to confess that l feel very little inter est in what is to follow.
 The average legislator (when q matter of general interest is pro- posed) sniffs the air from afar and finds bng under a chip; but lei some little Jimcrow get the floor and offer a bill 10 regulate tho manner of how people shall eat drink, smoke or wear, and he a once becomes a hero and benefac tor and his bill goes whoopine through the House; and as resul of this kind of legislation 90 pel cent of the work oi this session i. of a local nature.

A Go-between or Distributor O Whisky and His Right to Act
 Without License.

In the Supreme Court yesterday Tn the case of John Hunter vs. The State, an appeal case from the Franklin Circuit Court, Mir. Chiei Justice Bum delivered an inter esting opinion relative to selling liquor without license.
 The facts in the case were that Hunter desired to purchase a less quantity of whisky from the dis tiller than he was authorized to sell.
 He, therefore, went among his neighbors to solicit them to go in with him to make up a "kcg" of five gallons, the least quantity the distiIler could sell under the law, taking their names and the amounts they respectively agreed to take and the amount Of money each was required to pay, at the rate of g. per gallon.
 He then purchased 8 five gallon keg and divided it up among the purchasers.
 It does not affirmatively appear that Hunter had any other inter- est III the whisky or the sale there

Aphorisms For Young Men.

Do not indulge in day-dream- ing.
 No busy man has tune to think about his misfortunes.
 Do not get the blues. They are sure sign that you are idling.
 Do not spend your time in sit ting about, talking of ways and means of getting tame or money.
 Remember that working out a fixed purpose in life is just as amusing as drinking champagne and fox-hunting.
 Get a fixed purpose and never deviate from it. Fix your eyes on a certain point and keep push ing for that point.
 Do not take yourself too seri. ously. Remember that the uni verse revolves about himself for every man nd not for you alone.
 Do not fancy that talent counts for so very much in the world. Persistence without intellect is better than intellect without per sistence.
 Do not let women beguile you. Don't belong to fashionable clubs. Don't consort with men who have lots of leisure time. Keep away from men who spend great deal of money.
 Do not talk or think about what you have done. That is a sure sign of decay. The man who does it is food for worms already, although others may not discover it for some years.
 Cultivate the habit of thinking and keeping your thoughts to yourself. If they are of the prop CT kind for books, write them down and sell them, If they are for the making of money, coin them into action.-New York World.
