quit a-believin' yit. I've give the Lord

quit a-believin' yit. I've give the Lord chance"
 The man walked heavily across the floor and into the bedroom. This mood was worse than the other. Peo. pie had always called Mary Tyler a sensible woman; but she had never had any req! trouble before, only fruit spelling on her hands and the like. She had been a good woman, too, and 1t did seem hard that the Lord should try her beyond her strength. It did seem awful. too, to hear Mary talking Tn that desperate fashion about giving the Lord a chance. How much better it would be to stand by the lily-covered mound and, lowing to the Almighty's will, be content to wait. Life after all was short, and the baby, why the baby had gone out of heap of trouble, not doubt of it. A warm tear splashed on Pete Tyler's rough cheek. She was such cunning little maid. If orly the old ceremonies were not altogether laid aside, if only 1t were possible that woman, praying all night with her eyes upon graveyard, could cause the resurrection of that dainty f1axen- haired baby. With what an amount of energy she used to pull his boots across the floor in the evening, get ting them out of sight. How quietly she used to sit on the stool at his feet and "finlk!"
 Mary Tyler turned the lamp dim be- fore she took up her vigil at the win dow. She had worked herself into the right spirit. She was humble and sub, missive; she called herself hard names to the Lord, but she wanted her baby; more than anything on earth or III Heaven she wanted her baby. She would be thankful for the favor; though she lived to be an old, old woman she would never get over be- Ing thankful. She would be model Christian woman, refusing to "jaw"

with Pete even when he was terribly out of humor, remembering that the hest of men will lose their tempers at times, and she would attend church every Sabbath rain or shine.
 The view from the cottage window took in piece of the moorlit road, the 9lorified old church and the graveyard. The ncighbors had said that it was pity Mary Tyler lived so near the grave yard, it kept her trouble fresh. But she was glad as she knelt there praying that she was so very near. She knew the exact spot where she must look to see that little white-robed figure start for home When would it happen? How long must she pray?
 The wind rose d little. The woman at the window could see the branches ol tie pine tree swaying over the lily covered mound. sLord, it's 12 o'clock
 she murmured; wont you let her come sooE 2
 One, two, three three times the kitchen clock sounded. Was it possi- ble that the sounds were only an hour apart?
 -Four o'clock! o Lord, won't you let her come?''
 After four o'clock hopeless feeling settled upon Mary Tyler. H~r head sank on her hands; she had no more tears to shed. Jest fer minute, Lord," she pleaded; q won't ast her fer always Jest let me kiss her good- Ly. She didn't know was her mother, [ T I1,,tf 1yic mo f.. by. Let me set and hold her while the people is singin' Of the resurrection, and I'll believe"
 Clear and peacefully the bell rang out. The people crowded up from the village. She knew how the procession filed from the doors of the church, the minister leading. Yes, it was very beau tiful. They were in the graveyard. the dawn was breaking in the east, men and women and children were singing. Her prayer had not been answered. The clock in the kitchen struck five. Mrs. Tyler raised her head from her | nerveless hands. She was going to look | at the church and that throng of singers. She was going to call out her unbelief in q loud voice. She was 1 going An! what was it? Crossing over the graveyard, coming directly toward her cottage, was | little white-robed figure.
 The woman rose. trembling from her place at the window. She went to the door of the bedroom and called: .Pete!"
 | Pete. whose rest had been broken, ap- : peared in answer to the call.

hev her fer a rsinute; knew it couldn't be fer always"
 You've been dreamin'," said Pete.
 Don't you hear the noise at the door? Go and open it. It's our baby come to give me good-by. Go and open the door, Pete" But even as she spoke she grasped his arm and held him back.
 Mary, you shouldn't be prayin' fer sech things; it want meant. You've went to sleep; you've been dreamin'."
 Lord, 1 believe in the resurrection" murmured the woman, reverently. sPete, don't you hear that?'
 Tits nothin' but the dog"
 q prayed all night, and now you will not even open the door. o Lord! dear Lord! do believe in the resurrection!
 Decidedly there was a noise at the door; something was pushing against it. Pete Tyler, repeating that it was ''nothin' but the dog" advanced cau- tionsly and turned the knob. Jeff, we ain't a-gunno hev you in yer," he announced, cheerfully enough; and then he uttered an exclamation, not of
 
 TOT; and little white-robed figure came unbidden into the room.
 She stood there, gazing about her as though she did not see or understand. The pretty yellow hair was all about the fair little face
 ssLord, 1 believe in the resurrection, :" nurmured Mrs. Tyler, husldly.
 It was the man who never prayed for the impossible, who went up to the child, and, catching hold of the little damp robe with his shaking fingers, drew her to him. Mary" he said brokenly, you ast the Lord to let you kiss her. She's come back fer her kiss"
 But somehow the strange terror van- ished with the sense of touch; flesh and blood were under Pete Tyler's fingers. He reached across to the lamp and turned the wick as high as it would go. "Yes, Mary, you must kiss her and hold herin yer arms jest for little" /" he said; then he scrutinized the diminutive em- bodied spirit closely and then he burst into nervous laugh. "Teck yer hands away from yer eyes, Mary, and quit" ]" he ordered; tits Idly Wilson's baby, and she's wanderin' in her sleep"
 At this moment Idy Wilson's baby awoke, perceived the unfamiliar sur roundings and commenced screaming in thoroughly human manner.
 ''Git off them damp clothes and quiet her." said Pete.
 Half an hour later Idy Wilson's baby was closing her big blue eyes right con- tentedly as her small body grew more and more accustomed to the pitch and fling of Mrs. Tyler's favorite rocker.
 "Mebbe we kin keep her; 1nebbe as she was sent in place of the other one, g said Pete, anXiously.
 "Mebbe as we kin keep her? I reckon so" answered Mrs. Tyler, continuing the rocking. Pete Tyler, I wouldn't give her up fer worlds; all the Wilson's in the universe couldn't tear her from me; not as they'd want to. dare knows To let the pore little emortal walk around in her gown like that! Give her back to them Wilson's, never!"
 Pete stood for a long time regarding his wife and Idy's baby. The big blue eyes that had been closing peacefully opened to their widest and stared at him.
 "Mebbe she'd like baby doll fer to sing to?" he said, hesitatingly.
 A pair of woman's eyes looked up at him softly. "Mebbe as she would, 5 said Mrs. Tyler; "go and git it fer her" Louise R. Baker, in N. Y. Independent.

 But Mary Tyler felt neither buoyant nor happy nor good on that delectablc afternoon, neither buoyant nor happy nor good as the shadows crept over the town and darkened the little gray church, and hid the fences across on the hills. She had gone about the usual duties of the ordinary day. She had not been to church where those other moth CTS sat holding the remarkably good babies that in this special village learn so early to mind their manners. Last Easter-tide things had been different. An, but then Mary had her baby! Now the baby lay under the green grass in the graveyard. She had placed lilies cn the small round mound; yes, she had done that much, but she had not at tended the ceremonies of the poetical Morayian worship, and could not fol low along with that uplifted congrega- ton that would sally out of the dark portals of the old church, surge into the graveyard and stand waiting for the dawn, singing of the resurrection. She, and Pete too. had done this last year. hut things were different. They had stood beside the old peoples graves and sung of the resurrection. The old peo- ple had Lot gone until they were weary of the world, and until the world was nothing but trouble to them; for the world requires that people have teeth and eyes and hearing to get along in it st sll.

 Chirping their songs of love and nesting days; Again the sound of happy children singing Along the lanes and in the woodland

What glad new life is theirs. this sweet spring morning, In that far Heaven of Love that is their homei Can sweeter flowers bloom for it's adorn- ingi

ARKANSAS TO THE FRONT.

As state Furnished the Chairs to Seat
 the st. Louis Convention.
 me newspapers are saylng quite a good deal about the corn train from "lchita' kan, to the St. Louis conven- .ion' said Edward Haglin, superin- tendent of the Eureka Springs railroad, recently.
 Arkansas goes Kansas far better, [" continued Mir. Haglin. ''Yesterday morning twelve immense cars loaded with 13,OO0 chairs for the St. Louis re- publican convention were photographed Tn front of the factory at Fort Smith. A republican national convention buy ing chairs in Fort Smith, Ark, is an Item worth mentioning. Fort Smith now has six factories manufacturing furniture and bedding; also an i'm mense box factory.
 "Some time ago the Wood Packing company at Fort Smith received an order for 16 carloads of boxes from a soap factory in the city of Mexico and then had that order duplicated.
 Nearly s200, ,000 was put into build lngs In Fort Smith last year and now residences are building on nearly every street.
 Hast year Fort Smith and points tributary shipped nearly 300 cars of strawberries and S37 carloads of Irish potatoes.
 This year they will ship more than 1,lO0 cars of early potatoes and the sea- son being favorable TOO cars of fall pota- toes, total, 1,S00 cars Irish potatoes. And we do not import an ear of corn.

Interesting to Land Purchasers.

The entire acreage involved in the suits recently brought by the district United States attorney to recover lands from the Iron Mountain Railway sys- tenn which were certified or patented to the railroad by inadvertance or mis- take," is 5,200 acres, not an acre of which is in such shape as to jeopardize the interest of a single purchaser It was clearly shown in the settlement be- tween the United States and the state of Arkansas before the committee on public lands, in Washington, that in stead of the railroad company having received an excess of 5,a00 acres in the grant, that it is actually thousands of acres short of what it is entitled to-. owing to extensions and postings in the records, and losses which it has sus- tained in indemnity limits by reason of neglect on the part of government off cials to include lands which it was en- titled to under laws, rules and decisions of the interior department. The out come will be that every suit instituted by the district attorney will be dis missed at the cost of the government. Therefore there is no occasion for un- easiness or distrust on the part of indi- viduals who have purchased railroad lands

He said: II will state for public print that l will not serve in a public office. 1 have a fixed concep- ton of a public office, and do not care to have one.

Huckieberries in Gardens.

The huckleberry is not strictly speak ing at the head of the list of small ber- ries, but it is yet good second in the list of favorites as table luxury. Its rich flavor and beautiful color com mend it alike to the epicure and the person of plain taste. The huckleb berry plant can be successfully grown in gar dens with other small fruits. The mountain huckleberry is native of Arkansas. It is diffused from the northern to the southern boundary of the state on hilltop and mountain side, growing naturally among bushes and shrubs. It is easy of cultivation and the berry is improved to certain de- gree by tillage. Many persons have ex- perimented with the plant on a small scale, sufficiently however to demon strate that it can be made one of the most profita ble of all small fruit trees. The plants growing in the woods can be transplanted in gardens, if precau- tion is taken to obtain as much root as possible and then before setting cut down well the branches. They will yield no fruit the first year, but the second season they will bear some, and thence-forward a crop may be expected annually The plant is hardy, in fact, it will struggle for life and almost take care of itself if reasonable care is taken in transplanitng.

in transplanitng.

Arkansas presents an inviting field for not only farmers and fruit growers but also for artisans and capitalists. Al most every town, village and city of the state is in need of mills and factories of some description and moreover are of ferinV inducements to obtain them. Timber, mineral and coal are abundant, besides cotton and other products used in fabrics are produced here, and in ad- ,lition to these are splendid rivers af- fording water power which now run to waste. Then too, the state is lavishly supplied with navagable streams whose banks abound in forests of as fine tim Der as can be found in America.
