THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.
\ Handsome Donation Made to This h.
 stftutIun.

stitutIon.
 II may not be generally known to the people of Pine Bluff. yet it is q fact. that the Public schools of this city LOW have library containing something over 400 volumes. These books were obtained by means of donations from the scholars and a number of our liberal minded aud generous citizens.
 Tie records of the school librarian show that during the last scholastic year seven hundred children ayailed themselves of the opportunity to secure books from the library.
 This, in itself, shows the benefit the library is conferring on the pupils, inasmuch as it is imbuing in them a taste for literature, which is a great factor in the cause of education.
 Last Friday the Mann-Tankersley Drug Company presented the library with twenty-five volumes, hand somely bound. This gift is certainly appreciated by the pupils and those i'll charge of the library, and it is hoped that others of our citizens will follow the example set by this firm, and by this means, at a slight cost to all, our public schools will have a circulating library, of which Pine Bluff may be justly proud All books of standard authors will be thank fully received by the librarian.

 When Opie Read took charge of the Little Rock ssGazett te' many years ago he was bitterly attacked by rival paper in the neighboring town. Camden, Ark. He bore this abuse in silence for several weeks, but finally printed this paragraph at the head of the "editoriai jottings:'
 "When Jim Simmons first settled in Camden. years ago, he was poor, truthful and honest. He is still poor"
 The next day a tall. gaunt strang- CT alighted from the evening train and accosted Opie, who chanced to be at the depot "watchin of the train get in"
 Do you live here2" he querried.
 II do." was the answer.
 Come and have drink then; want to see you"
 The two men adjourned to a wet goods store near by and afterempty- ing their glasses q few times the visitor causually remarked:
 i've got to shoot man in this town"
 So?" said Read. with an inflec- tion which asked for more.
 "Yep-got to do it, continued the man hunter Know anytsing about paper called the Gazette?"
 Say. let's have another drink?'' hastily intefposed Opie. They did, and several other drinks followed.
 Now where's the Gazette office?'' finally inquired the man from Cam den. "I want you go along and see that l get fair play. All you've got to do is to point out the coyote that edits it and stand back out of range. ,
 Together they started uptown towards the newspaper office. The visitor never reached it; there were too many saloons along tse route. And strangest of all: Opie several times lost his bearings and took his belligerent protege through unneces- sary detours and past more grog shops than the Camden editor ever had seen before. An hour later the man who wanted gore was sleeping off an alcoholic trance i'll q garbage box in an alley. He had lost his gun and the editor of The Gazette had secured a new paper weight. 1t is unnecessary to add, perhaps, that Opie was not shot that night. It is no lispara cement to him, however, to admit that he was about half shot.

ABILENE, Kan, Sept. S.-Discontent
with the old established ways has caus.
ed in the west some odd features in
amusements that are at once strange and
interesting They are the result Of a
desire for the novel and attractive, and
they fill the requirements. a new fash
ion in fairs has arisen that is as odd as
the conditions that led to it. When the
price of horses was by the coming of the
bicycle diminished until it became a
thing for ridicule, the farmers could
not be induced to go to the county fair.
They would not take their live stock,
for they had not attempted to produce
any that was Of high order. Having
nothing to show, they remained at
home. Then came the autumn festivals,
which have this year reached their full
perfection. They are the great amuse-
ment features of the west, and their
attractiveness is entirely deserved.
To make one of the festivals sue
cess whole community must unite in
it. 1t means weeks of preparation and
much expense. 1t is usually based on
some distinguishing feature of the vicin-
ity's productions and is, in way, an
advertisement Of the same. But this is
a secondary matter, and the people who
are interested only want a crowd in the
city, and they get it.
Flowers and fruits are the inspiration
Of the new order. The resources of the
communities are drawn upon generous
ly. The first in age is the watermelon
day of eastern Colorado, which is each
year observed with increasing interest
1t has its headquarters at Rocky Ford,
in the heart of the irrigated region, and
where thousands of acres are devoted to
the juicy melon. On the appointed day
there is seen heaped high behind wide
tables pile of hundreds on hundreds
Of the biggest, juiciest and sweetest mel
ons that the farmers can gather, and to
distribute them are ranged q score of
strong young men, each armed with
huge cleaver, to slice up the fruit. On
special trains come the people until
there is present throng that fills the
grove. Everybody eats melon, and
everything is free. All day the cleavers
fash, and at night there is only vast

spread Of rinds to show what an on
slaught has been made. Many come a
hundred miles to see the fete, and it is
growing i'll importance as distinctive
festival.
The newest Of the displays is 'sun-
flower day." which was observed in
great splendor this summer at Colorado
Springs The decorations were all Of this
blossom of the plains, and the great vel
low and black disks made most effect
i've ornament for the occasion. The
gayly bedecked carriages that are seen
in the parade that is feature of the
festival would be a credit to the gayest
fete of the ole world. New conceits
have been added to the original design
until the celebration extends over sever
al days and is the scene of mighty
gathering Of visitors.
The ranchmen have no notion Of be-
ing outdone by their more favored
brethren and have inaugurated peach
day" that is unique in many ways. The
fruit is given out to all, and there are
some speeches to make the visitors re-
member the occasion. All the farmers
contribute to the supplies of the feast.
But this is not all the variety. One is
astonished to find at what length the
idea may be carried. In the irrigated
region comes potato day." at which
there are potatoes baked, fried, boiled
and stewed for the visitors, with plenty
of relishes on the side to make them
palatable. Potato chips by the bushel
are heaped up, and every one is urged
to fill his mouth and his pocket.
A little later the apple is ripe, and
"apple day" is the occasion for another
gathering of those who are enjoying
these new styles in autumn festivals
Next comes corn, and veritable car
aival is INDUCED in at Atchison, Kan,
where this festival was started. Not on
ly are there decorations Of corn in the
stalk and in the ear, but there is one
night in which the young folks roam
the streets, pelting all passers with the
kernels. The next day the pavements
are like the floor of a mill with the
bushels Of grain that has been thrown
and crushed during the fun.
But this is not the end. When the
cooler DAYS are at hand. the festivals

What Makes a Cat Tread softly2

Grandpa, what makes cat tread
softly?" asked little Findout of his aged
relative as the pair sat down to improve
their minds when the evening lamps
were lighted.
''It is faculty provided by nature,
my sor, which enables the cat to walk
softly, replied the old man as he laid
down his paper and beamed on the
youthful seeker after knowledge. "All
members of the cat tribe are endowed
with noiseless tread, which greatly
facilitates their capturing their prey.
You have doubtless noticed that the
pedal extremities of the feline are fur
nished with soft, velvety balls or COW
erings, instead Of hCofs. These balls ex-
tend below the claws, which are drawn
up when not in use, enabling the cat to
walk across board floor without the
slightest noise.
"Oh, that isn't what makes a cat
tread softly" said Tommy when the
old man had finished
"No? What is it, then?" asked grand
papa.
Mice" replied the 10y. while a
happy smile lit up his ingenious face.

Beekeeping For Farmers.

The following is from the pen of q
writer in The Orange Judd Farmer:
My observation and experience teach
me that one never succeeds with any
thing he does not like; consequently a
man or woman who dislikes to handle
bees had better let them alone. How
ever, it seems to me it might pay the
farmer who has lot Of fruit to keep a
few stands of bees, even though he had
to buy new stock every spring and did
not get any honey. The benefit derived
from the bees fertilizing fruit blossoms
would pay for the trouble. In this case
box hives would be better than any
others, as bees undoubtedly winter bet
ter in them, and honey is a secondary
consideration.
In any event get good stock of in
dustrious bees. 1t is becoming pretty
generally accepted that beekeeping will
not do to rely on as money making &C.
cupation unless practiced in connection
with some other business. The farmer
who likes to handle bees will have an
excellent side issue, which. if carefully
managed. will be satisfaction as well
as profit To such q farmer l say get
two colonies of Italian bees from some
reliable breeder, put them in an eight
or ten frame dovetailed hive, get a
smoker, bee veil, book on agriculture,
and begin. In one respect experienced
apiarists are quite as negligent as begin
ners-that is in furnishing shade for the
hives. 1t has been conclusively shown
that colonies in shade during hot wealth.

come the "feast Of mountain and plain,
"the priests Of Pallas," the "veiled
prophets" and the other gayeties that
can be seen only in large city. The
preparations for these begin early in the
summer and are very costly, but they
repay the originators in the influx Of
visitors that follows. Floral decorations
are attempted in these, too, but the
flowers ara of paper, and the colored
lights make up for the lack of reality.

ed and thousands of the fleet creatures
are killed i'll day to be sent to the
poor of some adjoining city.
By this series of festivals the amuse-
ments of the west have been revolution
lied and the old time fair has been
made thing of the past. They show
that the tendency of the west is toward
something original as we'll as odd in its
amusements and mark new era in the
public fetes and celebrations of the
time. The participants enter into the
spirit of these holidays with a zeal quite
unknown to the days of the county fair,
because more people can have part in
the doings. Unique and of real utility,
the western festivals have come to stay
and will make their way eastward to
succeed the fairs and expositions that
there are yet in vogue.
