More Timo Was Needed.

A good story is told of an American
plutocrat visiting Oxford. On his tour
of the colleges nothing struck him so
much as the velvcty turf in one of the
quadrangles. He asked for the garden
er, and made minute inquiries as to the
method of laying down and maintaining
the grass. That's all, is it?" he ex-
claimed, when the whole process had
been carefully described "Yes, sir, ]" re-
piled the gardener, with atwinlsle in his
eye, that's all, but we generally leave it

Ladies' Who Could Not Agree.
Not long ago there were two ladies
stopping at the same boarding house.
They were single ladies', be it said, and
both highly respectable. But for some
reason, says the Minneapolis Times,
known only to themselves, they
couldn't get along" and matters went
between them from bad to worse till
they quit speaking"
They both got tired, of course, living
in the same house with mortal enemy,

new lodging place, when wagon
stopped at the front door and began to
unload collection of articles unmis-

trunk and went downstairs, filled with
a horrible suspicion, to interview the
lundlady.
Her suspicious were true. They had
moved into the same house.
There is no more to the story. Of
course, they should have made up their
differences and lived in peace and char

lie had never preached like this before,
every word seeming TO come right from

itan, and of the giving with the right

And this last appeared as an especially
applicable text, as IL was not then and

tiful Christmas episode was brought

Citizens OF Lafayette County, Ark, Deter

TExARKANA, Ark, Dec. ls.-A highly
respectable white citizen of Lafayette
county brings information regarding n
bloody assault made at Garfield, a
small lumber town in that county, a
few nights ago by "A mob of white mill
hands on the camp occupied by colored
laborers. The negroes were employed
by the Garfield Lumber Co. and notice
was served on some of them by white
men that they must leave the mill or
suffer the consequences. During the
night the shanties We're surrounded by
a mob of white men and a volley OF
shots fred into them. The negroes
jumped from their hunks and ran for
the woods, another volley being fred
into them as they ran. Twelve me-
groes were brought down wounded,
some of whom will die. An almost ex-
actly similar assault was made the
next night on a party of negroes at
Frostville, in the same county, in
which nine negroes were shot with
bird shot and badly wounded. The
only cause for the shooting, so far as is
known, is the determination on the
part of the whites to run the negroes
out of the county and prevent them
from working around the mills.

but also TO control their contents and

rate sheets of the carriers are often so
complex as TO be unintelligible to the
public. The commission recommends
that the laws he amended as follows:
To coutine the procedure in the courts
for enforcement of orders of the com
mission to the record made before the
commission. and to provide that the
order of the commission shall be en-
forced unless the court shall find in
the proceeding some erial error
which furnishes su uiiicient reason for
refusing to enforce It. To make rail
road corporations liahle to indictment
for offenscs against the statute, as well
us their officers, agents and employees.
TO require the carriers To adopt uni
fern freight classification. To permit
the commission to appoint special
agents with the authority to inquire
into the business management of car
riers. To provide for the interchange
of traffic between connecting roads and
the continuous carriage of freights
from point of shipment to place OF des
tinatiou.
The report says: The practice OF
giving passes or reduced passenger
rates to shippers or their employees,
and of issuing complimentary passes to
persons on account of the profess on
in which they are engaged or the pub
lic duties they perform, is strongly con.
demned. No reason is suggested why
the penal provision of the statute
should not be made to apply to those

who by any device solicit, obtain or re.

of help in their present need, and IL had
been great. He possessed the genius of
doing things instantly in season. He told
them many helpful things, but not al
ways pleasant ones. One fact he men
toned, without seeming to preach or
being superior to the charge himself,
was, that they were wasting "A good
many good opportunities for doing
good. That, perhaps-and more than
likely they had the idea, if they had even
ever thought about it--that TO do good
thing it must be great thing-or great
as the world counts il. He made them
see that this was mistake and urged
them to think about it. That it was
time that they were doing something
worth while living for. They were big,
hearty, healthy fellows, and ought TO
be ashamed to live just for the sake of
living, with no aim or object in life
higher than huslIing bee or a spelling
school frolic. That God might forget
them just as they were forgetting their
duty to Him and their neighbors. There
were fair possibilities for every one of
them, probably no very great ones; but
no one could tell that. Every one of
them had it in his power in his reach,
TO do some good, and the quicker they
locked around and set about it the bet
ter and the more manly they would be.
He advised q bit of selfishness-that
their work of well-doing, their charity,
begin at home, emphatically at home

Ing, careless hearts, and from this start
ing point work out and widen and
lengthen their field OF usefulness and
Christian labor. They would find that
it would pay, and maybe in more ways
than one. He would suggest that they
get down to business without waiting.
And much more the schoolmaster said
one time and another, but mostly along
this line. There were many changes in
the social and moral life of Plunkett-
vile, and all were for the better. And
the changes are still going on. The be-
ginning was two years ago. There are
things that would be profitable to speak
of because of their suggestiveness in

Jake and the Eaton boys, and half

this particular Christmas is forgotten.
Uncle Sluman Able was right in his
conjecture that the boys on Sogger Run
bridge were "up to sumthin." The peo.
pie were awakened at an unusually
early hour that day by the rumbling OF
wagons over the hard, frozen ground,
and scattered through the village and
out into the country were dozen teams
hauling loads of something. One
stopped in front of the little millinery
shop over which little Miss Susie Prin-
die had presided for almost half CEN
tury. She, like her bonnet, was out of
joint with the times; and even remote
and happy-go-lucky Plunkettville had
outgrown her fashions and the man
ner of her wares, and with old age cruel

Shattered the bone.

Sh awnee Capital: A very sad acci.
dent befell Charles Godfrey at a barn
raising on James Hammel's place near
Clifton recently. The crowd that
stood around saw a squirrel run up q
tree and thought they would have
some fun, and after throwing stones at
it for some time Hammell went to his
house for shot gun. He returned
and the gun didn't work right. He
then commenced to work with 1t when
1t was discharged and the whole con.
tents struck Godfrey, who was sitting
about ten feet from the gun, in the
leg, badly shattering the bone. 1t
was thought he would bleed TO death
before medical aid could reach him.
DIR. Baugh of Clifton was called, but
we are unable to report further the
condition of the unfortunate man.

Bring pleasure when the hair is gray.
Can you bring us health. good Santa,
Instead of toys, forsooth,
The huoyant steps. the sparkling eye
And the radiant dreams or youth?
The fame we've sought by patient toll
Through weary years to gain,
The fortune that has Knocked us,
All we've striven for in vain?
Can you bring the love we long for
And the faces we yearn to see?
Some are sundered by bitter thoughts
And some sleep peacefully.
