Since grieving is vain,
And signing Is pain.
And life Is whatever we make II,
When fortune fills up
The full mean of each cup
Let us pledge her with smiles as we take II.
For little she gives
To the spirit that grieVes
And chides her, while Quafflng her meas

But let the last sup
Be consumed from the cup,
And she'll fill, and refill, unto pleasurel
Was friendship name?
Was loves rosy fame
Soon quench'd by the breath of disaster!
The knight-errant knaves
Now bask, like trie slaves,
In the smiles Of some opulent master!
Then why should we break
Our brave hearts for their sake?
They are dead: pile forgetfulness o'er
them!
Thus perish the twain!
We'd not have them again,
Gould weakness or folly restore them.
Then, sorrow, go, pack,
And never come back
And grief and your brood, trundle after;
Come, pull down your plumes;
We've rented your rooms
To music, and sunshine, and laughter!

And steal half the burden from labor;
Evening will come,

Laziness Of Mind.

There Is laziness of the mind as we'll
az of the body. People loaf mentally
as well as physically. One is to be
despised quite as much rs the other.
Tho man or boy who sits about on
street corners and in stores telling idle
tales is no more social nuisance thai,
he who dawdles over his studies, or
dreams away the hours wool-gather
ing, which should be employed in plan
ming and thinking about the serious
problems of life. The mind should be
held quite az rigidly to discipline az
the body; for an aimless, wandering.
unappliable mind will destroy ones
usefulness quite as much as y slothful,
fabby, unslilled body.-Dctroit Free

We had all risen out of respect to him,
and were standing in little group
about him.
"Just so; it is all right, then" he an

me with grave good nature. TT Is

He was turning away with this orac-
ular saying when Croisette touched his
sleeve. "Pray con you tell US If it be
true" the lad said, eagerly, "that Ad-
rliral de Coligny was wounded yester-
'day?" SON. -s .
1T is true, the other answered, turn
ing his grave eyes on his questioner.
while for a moment his stern look
failed him. ut is true, my boy" he
added, with an air OF strange solem-

side Of the boy. But he turned from
him now with q queer, excited gesture,
thumping his gold-headed cane on the
floor. He called his servants in loud,
rnsping voice, and left thereon in SEEM
ing anger, driving them before him,
the one carrying his dag, and the other
two candles.
When came down early next morn
lug, the first person l met was Blaise
Bure. He looked rather fiercer and
more shabby by daylight than candle
light. But he saluted me respectfully;
and this, since 1t was clear that he did
not respect many people, inclined me to
regard him with favor. It is always so,

"Baron de Rosny," he answered;

"You are welcome to join u.s." l said.
'Dut we start In half an hour. Do you

quiescence. "And 1 have known that

The half-rustic shrinking from the

did not ask him what trouble he
meant, but ran indoors to buckle on
my sword, and tell Marie and Croisette
of the ally had secured. They were
much pleased, as was natural; so that
we took the road in excellent spirits
intending to reach the city in the after
noon. But Marie's horse cast a shoe,
and 1t was some time before we could
find smith. Then at tEtampes,w where we

Q man mistaken, but brave, honest and
capable in his error. Therefore it was
that when the landlord mentioned him,
I forgot even my hunger.

Our host did not answer; Struggling
his houlders instead, he opened the
door and ushered us into the eating
room.
Some preparations for our meal had
already been made at one end Of the
long board. At the other was seated q
man past middle age, richly but simply
dressed. His gray hair, cut short about
o massive head, and his grave, resolute
face, square-jawed and deeply-lined,
marked him as one to whom respect
was due apart from his clothes. We
bowed to him as we took our seats.
He acknowledged the salute, fixing

glance; and then resumed his meal. !
noticed that his sword and belt were
propped against chair at his elbow,
and dag, apparently loaded, lay close
to his hand by the candlestick. Two
lackeys waited behind his chair, wesr-
ing the badge we had remarked in the
inn yard.
We began to talk, speaking in low
tones that we might not disturb him.
The attack on Coligny had, If true, its
bearing on our own business. For II a
Huguenot so great and famous and en-
joying the kings special favor still
went in Paris In danger of his life,
what must be the risk that such an one
as Pavannes ran? We had hoped to
find the city quiet. If instead it should
be In state of turmoil Beers chances
were so much the better; and ours

worse.
Our companion had by this time fin

with some curiosity. At length he
spoke. "Are you going to Paris, young

and high-pitched.
We answered in the affirmative. ITO

 Eatries, J. c. Dilley, Gendron; Harry Oleott, Iroquois; and P. M. Kilroy, Rambler This was the race of the day and was paced by a tandem. The boys got away, Dill ley first, Olcott Second, and. Kilroy bringing up the rear; these po- sitions were maintained until the beginning of the second lap when KiLroY shot past the bunch and caught the tandem. The pace was too hot for DilIey and he fell behind and Olcott rode round him and fell in behind Kilroy, who was still trav- cling the tandem. These were the positions as they entered the home strech, Half way home Olcott swinging out. ducked his head and started for the tape and was on even terms with KiIroy before the latter, who had his eyes on the tandem, was aware of his intentions. As it was he was taken by surprise but instantly ran around the tan dem and spurted with all his might, but too late, Harry had the old 8O- gear under head way and beat him in by half a wheel amidst pro- longed cheering in 2:21 2-5.

strong wind which made the track several seconds slow.
 As tberiders rounded into the home stretch Hut was leading with Oleott trailing, and half way down the stretch both riders made their efforts simultaneously, and a very excellent finish resulted in Hut winning by half wheel.
 Kilroy here rode an exhibition half paced by @ tandem and it was worth going miles to see. He at tempted to lower the State record and succeeded in putting the work at L.03 2-5. Considering the wind, this is certainly remarkable, and as the track was conceded to be from four to five seconds slow, his riding time if under ordinary condition, would have been close to 59 seconds.
 Fifth race, one-half mile, First prize, pair Morgan & Wright quick repair tires $1O, given by Nor gan & Wright. Second prize, box cigars, given by A. J. Mitchell.
 The half mile open wound up a very enjoyable and satisfactory racing program and brought out Harry Olcott, Ieoquois; J. c. Dilley, Gendron; and Ed, Lord, Syracuse; paced by Kilroy on a Rambler single wheel. At the word Ego" Olcott the rear wheel of the pacer and was never displaced, finishing four lengths before Dilley with Lloyd third. Time 10 2-5.

NOTES ON THE RACES.

Mir. John Hut now wears the beautiful Arnold medal on the left lapel of his coat, and he is justly proud of his prize
 Mir. Harry Oleott is happy. The public will all the more appreciate his success when they learn that the hand and heart of a fair maiden is said to have depended upon his ability to win the diamond.
 A number of people from points along the Cotton Belt witnessed the races.
 The adherents of Hut and Olcott are loud in their claims for their fa- vorites.
 The Pine Bluff boys captured all the prizes. The Little Rock racers were mot in it.
 The indications are that the GRApHIc's next bicycle meet will bring out the largest audience ever seen at the park.
 The winners of the races are proud of their prizes. And well may they be, for the prizes were worthy of their best efforts.
 Many people congratulated the GRAPHIC yesterday upon the brilliant success of it's bicycle meet. The GRAPHIC simply desires to render honor to whom homer is due in say ing that to AIr. George Adams is largely due the praise, for he work ed unremittingly for several weeks for the success of the entertainment. The contributors of the prizes, also deserve praise for making the meet possibility.

TWO TRAMPS ENTER WATsON's S
 CHAPEL
And Steal Song Books Which They
 Attempt to Sell.

For the past week protracted meeting has been in progress at Watson's Chapel, about three miles from town on the Sulphur Springs road.
 Friday night the usual service was held, after which the good people of that township repaired to their re spective homes. The lamps had hardly been. put out and the congre- gation gone, until two tramps en- tered the structure and made of it temporary sleeping apartments.
 But the tramps were not satisfied with hard wood benches for beds. During the night or at least before morning, they conceived the iGea of cultiyating their latent and long neglected vocal talents. There. fore, when they departed they did not fail to take the hymn books, about dozen in number, along with them.
 But ere they reached town they despaired of cultivating their vocal chords to Q sufficient degree to make it profitable. They found that they could not warble very well on an empty stomach. Therefore, they determined to dispose of the song books. Their action was suspicious and they were arrested by epolice. When first arrested the itinerants protested that the books in their possession were family heirlooms, and that they carried them along simply as an act of reverence to their ancestors. But this story didn't go. The officer who confronted them was of an inquisitive turn of mind and he took one of the books and opened it. On the fly leaf was, Wat

A MADMAN
Frothing at the Mountb, He Attempted to Butcher Several Persons at Williams Stable
 Last Night.

About o'clock last night q tele- phone message was sent to police headquarters requesting that the police be sent to Williams stable and wagon yard at the corner of Fourth and Pine to arrest q man whose acts indicated that he was mad.
 The madman, whose name we could not learn, was chasing several men around the stable with a huge knife in his hand. The parties ran into the stable and bolted the doors, the crazy lunatic then began to bat ter on the door with brickbats and 
 When two officers arrived they had merry time of it. The mad man was tall and stout, and gave the blue coats lively tussel. He tore nearly all tht clothes off of one of the policemen before they ar rived at the calaboose with him. Foaming and fighting, he was finally landed, however behind prison bars.

TIE SCHOLARSHIPS, SEVERAL CHANGES THIS
 WEEK. MISS ATKINSON STILL LEADS FOR THE MOZART, WHILE MISS MeFADDEN TAKES
 SECOND PLACE.
Mont Levy Leads For Nettleton's With Harry Well
 Second.

But two weeks more remain of the GRAPHic's contests for scholarships in the Mozart Conservatory of Music and Nettleton's Commercial College. These contests will close at midnight Saturday, September ,.
 The leaders still hold their places in each of these contests, but several under them have taken a squirt up toward the head of the list. No one has safe lead, and at this stage of the contest the result is in extreme doubt. In either contest few hun dred votes would make very material change, and that there is a big reserve vote no one will deny. It is already apparent that the final result will depend upon the number of coupons voted during the last week of the contest.
 Up to 3 o'clock last night the vote stood as follows:

 The books were restored to mem- bers of the congregation at Wat sons Chapel who were in town yesterday, and no doubt the meet ing proceeded last night as hereto fore.
 For their act of vandalism the tramps will serve q term on the county farm.
