ITS BETTER ID BE BORN
 L9CKt THAN RICH,
BECAUSE LUCK OFTEN BRINGS BOTH RICHES AND FOR
 TUNE.
A Poor Pine Blufian Inherits a
 Fortune and Wins a Bride.

There is q story going the rounds that sounds like fiction, but it is nevertheless a fact.
 Sometime ago poor man came to Pine Bluff to seek work and fortune, and his efforts have been attended with extraordinary success, for he has found both in the course of a flew months. Sometime ago q man by the name of R. w. Arnold came to this city q poor stranger and appli- ed to Mir. Ben Silbernagle, the pro- prietor of q grocery store at the West end of Barraque street, just across Brump's Bayou, for work. Mir. Silbernagle gave the man em- pl0yment as the driver of a delivery wagon. Shortly afterwards the man, Mir. k. W. Arnold. turned over to his new employer some valuable papers. These in turn were delivered by MT. Silbernagle to the legal firm of Foster tt Coleman, with instruc- tions to ascertain the value of the same. After short time the attor- neys discovered that these documents were of great value. because they proved that the possessor was the sole survivor of a rich uncle in the "Old Country" Mir. Arnold's claim was pushed by his attorneys and some six weeks or more ago he came in possession by inheritance of some $22, ,64000 in cash. This was mentioned exclusively by the GRAPH IC at the time.
 In the meantime Mir. Arnold was making progress along other lines He was not only pushing his claims with vigor for wealth, but was also in pursuit ofspiritual happiness, and was urging his claims with vehe- menee for the hand and heart of a Pine Bluff damsel. He was as lucky in the one case as in the other, and before having heard of his success in his pursuit of material wealth in the "OId Country, had received afavor- able answer from his lady love in this country.
 His fair lady-Iove is Miss Yogel, sister-in-law to Mrs Ben Silbernagle, of this city, and their engagement will be formally made public next Sunday.
 The GRAPHIC extends in advance it's congratulations to this lucky son of fortune, and we trust that the lucky star which guides his destiny will never grow dim.

Her Reunion.

At the home of wealthy ranchman in Nebraska has taken place O unique reunion of friends who knew each other, at least some of them did, long ago The circumstances were unusual, but the meeting of tho friends was perhaps all the more delightful on that account. The persons present on the occasion were three men and 0 woman. The lady was the center of the the combined mascu- line attention and was happy according ly. Perhaps she was all the more so be- cause at one time and another all three of the men had been married to her, one at a time, in due order
 When the lady was a girl, she had lived in the pious and modest city of New York. There she married husband No. 1. He was n travelling salesman, and that may or may not account for the fact that she got q divorce from him in short time In New Orleans she married again and went to live in another city almost as pious and modest as that in which she began her career namely, Chicago Although the best of friends when not tied up, however, the two found, as many another couple have, that they could not pull comfortably in double harness hence again separation and divorce. The lady's cup of happi- ness became permanently full when she secured her third and present husband. It brimmed over and ran down when re- oently, in Nebraska town, tho four of them, the three husbands and the lady, met and had joyous outing and drive at the luxurious ranehero home of hus- band No, 3. They had a delightful time" and all drank joyfully to their next reunion

MINERAL WATERS.
Why and How They Benefit Those That
 Drink Them.

Why and How They Benefit Those That
 Drink Them.
 When a patient reaches O mineral water health resort, he is examined by the resident physician and ordered to drink certain quantities of the water at certain times during the day. These are increased from day to day until the maximum quantity needed is reached. He is ordered to drink one or two glass fuls upon rising, two or three glasses between breakfast and dinner, the same quantity in the afternoon and couple of glasses before going to bed. The pa- tient is urged to take it whether he wants it or not. He may say that he IS not thirsty, but that makes no differ ence; he must take it as 0 medicine. The quantity is increased until we have known 30 glasses per day to be taken.
 A part of the benefit derived is be- cause of the rest and change of scene. A part, perhaps, is from the small quantity of the salts and other bases contained in these waters (we are not speaking of cathartic or ehalybeate wa ters), but the benefit from this source is very slight. The secret of the cure is in the quantity of water taken. If the wa ter be pure, free from organic matter, and taken in sufficient quantity, the re- suits will be substantially the same, re- gardless of the "traces2 of lithia and small quantities of sodium chloride and other salts. You can perform these cures at home with the ordinary drink ing water, if of good quality, if you will require the patient to take 1t in the same quantity as at the springs It is very easy to add lithia if desired, but you must not lose sight of the fact that the quantity of water (not lithia) taken is the important thing. It acts by food ing the kidneys, by washing out the bladder with copious, bland and dilute urine, by uneIogging the liver and clearing the brain. The patient feels better from day to day; he is better Irritable bladder is relieved, the kid neys act freely-are washed out t"- and many effete substances are carried out with the flood. This clears the way for tho liver to act freely and normally, for there is an intimate relation be- tween the liver and kidneys. s.-New York Ledger.

..Anx Murders or Hangings2,,


 Any news today-any murders or hangings?" asks a certain type of citi- zen when the newspaper is brought home fresh. He scans it carefully, does this citizen, page after page. If his eye alights on no dreadful strangling case, no horrible outrage or frightful acci- dent, no elopement or unsavory scandal, this person throws the news journal down with grunt of dissatisfaction. II never saw so dull paper. Theres s nothing in it. It is not worth paying for. n
 The jackal and tho wild dog will not eat meat until it is putrid. Tho person who enjoys reading of murders, sean dals, robberies and crime is mentally Q hyena. feeding on the unclean, the rot ten and the abnormal. His paper may be full of the good and noble deeds of men. It will be so if it's editor is up to date and knows the effect of mental i'm pression on human being. The indi- vidual with the hyena mind will read none of these. He will search every col umn for his favorito putrid pabulum and. finding it not, will throw the pa per down with the seornful comment that there Is nothing in it. "
 Some people who consider themselves very good are Of the hyena type, glut- ting themselves with the morbid and unolean. They would be astonished if anybody were to hint they were other wise than excellent Christians. But they cannot be well and wholesome either mentally or physically. The healthy, real Christian loves the pure, the bright, the cheerful, the hopeful and the good.

We trust that the repor t is true and that the faetional fight between the two Tennessee states men is at an end. We would also like to see McMillin go to the

County Politics.

The political pot is beginning to boil in nearly every county in the State, and already can its simmer ings be heard in this county. In some parts of the State degree of prescription has been manifested which should not be countenanced or tolerated in Democratic ranks. The Texarkana Courier makes some very wise remarks along these lines, which we commend to our readers. Itsays
 Brethren, let us get together. Between us, we should look for eff cient, honest men, competent to fill the different offices, and who will not think the office belongs to them when they are elected.
 "The people need competent, able men in office rather than partisans. As long as it is understood that a mans ability to get office is to be de termined not by his competency and fitness, but by his popularity with a certain element, or by the amount of money he eau fling in" to the campaign committee, or by his abili. ty to use the slush fund on the cleo, tion day, just so long will the offices, which were intended for the benefit of the people, be considered but the plunder of party"

bodies cry out but in a language that only the sufferers themselves can hear. When man is suffering in this way his body cries out with an aching head. a sluggish body, muscles that are lax and lazy, brain that is dull, stomach that disdains food and nerves that will not rest.

White Slaves of Old England.

Eight hundred years ago all Of the large cities of England had regular aIaYe markets for the sale of white slaves from all parts of the kingdom.

Bishop Derrick, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, in an
 able sermon yesterday, directed to q class of Elders and Deacons, but ap- plicable to all preachers, and the laity as well. warned his people against what he called "fox-fire" preachers who go about preaching thunder sermons calculat- ed to stir up enmity between the races. He told them that their pros perity and the prosperity of their white brothers were indissolubly
 linked together in this land, and the duty of all Methodists and of all
 men was to preach the doctrine of the fatherhood ofGod and the broth erhood of man. This was but one good thing in sermon that bound ed in good things. There was deep piety, august eloquence, absolute sincerity and an earnestness of ap- peal that was almost pathetic when

The request of the Public Health as- sociation to President Mckinley that he incorporate in his message a recon mendation for commission to visit Ha- vana and investigate the origin of vel low fever is good one. It Is from Ha- yana that the deadly yellow fever germ flies to the States. working such panic and destruction. The origin of the scourge is, however. not difficult to trace. It is found in tho fact that since she first took possession of Cuba. four centuries ago, Spain has never dredged, cleansed or in any way disinfected the harbor of Havana Yellow fever first originated in the filth cast into the wa ters of Havana harbor froa the African slaveships.
