PES,SI.H1STS 4AD PES,sINzSlL.

In every land where civilization has sway, there exists a clique or clan of men whose lives are monu- ments to misdirected energies and blighted ambitions. Not satisfied to take the best that they can get out of bad lot, they insist on looking at the world with distorted vision. Theirs has been an unhappy lot, and why should not all mankind be made to suffer, too?
 The pessimist is well known character. We see him in our churches, in our legislative halls and on the public streets as private citi- zen. The world, from his stand point, is growing viler as the years roll on. To him religion is at a standstill, while purity in man or woman is like vision seen in sleep. He believes in nothing because he himself is nothing. Again, we find him in the political field. There he is known as the calamity howler. !" It has been his won't to abuse and regret existing conditions, pray for all that is to come, still believing that it will never get here. 1t is his delight to tell the people and his family that the country is going to the dogs, while the sound of his own voice is the only bark or snarl that he can hear.
 From all such, good Lord deliver us.
 The world today, standing upon the threshold of new century, is better than it was in the dead past. Science, religion and the arts are moving onward, and above all, the fellowship of a true humanity is binding the nations of the earth to- gether in union well nigh indissol uble.
 Our own land is more pregnant now with sublime possibilities than ever before. We are still the great est of the peoples. As for the pes simist and his vail, away with both! It matters not what comes, the true patriot will know that while God reigns the government will live.

Get Your Gun.

Burglars are ra ther partial to Pine Bluff it seems, and especially so at the present time. Strange to say they are respectfully inclined, and do not disturb peaceful homes, nor wake the just sleepers from their slumbers. But little while ago it will be remembered that the resi- dence of Mr. J. B. York was entered at about 9 o'clock in the evening, but unfortunately the intended rob- Der escaped. Half an hour later on the same date Mir. J. Wertheimer had very unwelcome and uneX- peeted call who, when leaving, car ried away a souvenir in the way of suit of clothes, belonging to Mir. Dinkelspiel. relative of Mr. Wer. theimer, and residing in his house.

Girls Are Very Indignant.

Ashland. KY, May 27.-There is row
at the Lake Forest university, near this
city, a oo-educetional institutio patro-
n1zsd by wealthy farmers.
In that university there are two basket
ball teams, made up of girls. A college
newspaper oalled the Forester is pub
lishsd. The May issue contained pic
tuPe of the girls in boomers without
skirts. They are in the midst of an ex-
citing game. Several Of them have fallen
and exhibit their tiny feet and shapely
limbs as they lie on the ground. The
basket girls play in modern ath-
letic costume with skirts short enough
to allow free action Of the limbs but not
calculated to draw a crowd. The artist
committed another offense. In the gal
lery shove the basket ball field he has
depicted dozen young men gazing in
delight. This, the girls say, is going
altogether too far, as not man was
present. A number threaten to leave the
school unless c. K. Brown, the artist in
the school, who drew the pictures, is dis
missed. Several brothers will arrive, and
propose to whip Brown.
