that seem smiling at my three-scors
and ten. Reading and observation
teach me that all good men have rever-
enee for womanknd and are conscious
of her better nature, her better morals
and emotions. Shakespeare and Scott
write of women as ministering angels.
Wadsworth says of her creation:
"a perfect woman nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort and command

Byron would have written:
AS well believe a woman, or an epltaph.
Or any other thing that's false"
Even Solomon in all his glory with
his wives and eoneubines, said:
young man, rejoice with the wife of
thy youth, and be thou always rayished
with her love-
Edward w. Box says in the Ladies'
Home Journals: mo economy is so false
and misguided as that which seeks to
withhold one pleasure from the life of
a good woman, true wife or loving
mother. The best home a man can
give her becomes tiresome if she is
asked to live in it and stay in it 365 days
in year. The Lord knows that wom-
ans life is hard enough. She travels
path of endurance and suffering to
which the average man is an entire
stranger. Then let us make that path
as pleasant, as easy and as bright as
possible. Every dollar that a man
spends on his home for the happiness
and comfort of his wife will come back
to him four-fold."
That is true-all true. Better mend

that gate latch and sometimes take an

DOCTORING A NATIVE.
A Woman Travellers Experience i'm

| Africa.
Mrs. Mary Kingsley, in a recent enter
tanning article upon some of her Afri-
can experiences, relates her first at
tempt at doctoring n sick native. She
had Observed during a rather trying
march which her party had been maxi
ing, that one of the carriers had begun
to stagger and look dazed. His COM
rades had relieved him of his load, and
he had managed with much difficulty
to keep on with the others until a viii
| lage was reached and a halt called for
the night.
She then bade his friends call in the
best doctor there was in the place to at
tend to The sufferer, and she would pay
him. but shortly after one of them
came to her and reported, in language
which she found more comprehensive
than its construction warranted:
''Massa, them man he live for die"
fastening to the hut where the in
valid lay, she found the native doctor
sitting outside, covering and uncover
ing a small basket, and muttering incan-
tations-engaged, so the awestruck OBJ
servers informed her, in trying to find
out "who had stolen one of the patients
souls"
Without criticising this theory of the
disease, the lady tactfully explained
that perhaps, if they allowed her TO try,
she might effect some good while the
other doctor was completing his dag
nosis-and she got out her medical
book.
1t informed her that the patient was
suffering not from q missing soul. but
from some kind of inflammation of the
brain, and that he should be blistered
upon the back of the head and neck.
lie lay upon his chest, picking at the
floor with his hands, and evidently de-

who had died many years before.
She prepared a blister of mustard
leaves, but upon trying to apply it, dis
covered that the wool was several inches
deep on the back Of the mans head,
and that place must be clipped clear to
receive the blister, or it would have no
effect. Taking a pair Of scissors, she
set about clearing patch of scalp.
"While l was engaged in this opera
tion," she says, "the patient went Off
into a convulsion that frightened me
out of my wits; so | dropped the scis-
sors and reared, driving my head up

tient broke the rest of that simple home
completely up, and mixed himself and
the scissors and the mustard leaves and
the lantern so well with the debris that
il took some time TO sort him out.
Il regret to say, however, that he was
neglected for some ten minutes, be-
cause the assembled spectators roared
so with laughter that they were incap-
able of action, and was busy clearing
off my superstructure and trying to ex-
tract an interesting and exciting coll
lection o. centipeds. lizards, scorpions
and spiders from my hair, wherein they
had sought refuge on the occurrence of
the cataclysm."
Nevertheless. she persevered, and the
invalid was finally extTicated, clipped
and blstered. and in due time got wells

thereafter preferred open-air practice,

the nurseries of live and enterprislng

Prejudice Is Vanishing
Strangers do not view Arkansas from
the prejudieed standpoint they did
few years ago They have seen the
fruit, minerals and art products of Ar
kansas at fairs and eXpositions, and in
early spring months tasted vegetables,
berries and fruits which her gardens
and truck patches furnished. More
over, they have read of the new rail-
roads which are projected across the
the state to the gulf, entering seaports
which already are competing with east
ern ports for ocean freight. All these
things have caused people of the west
and north to think about Arkansas and
study its history and conditions Home
seekers become interested in the mild
climate, the fruit, flowers and springs,
while capitalists who have an eye TO
railroad building, mining and manu-
featuring think of the freight that is
carried down the railroads and the vast
quantities of local traffic to be opened
to new lines which will penetrate tht
undeveloped regions. 1t is the nature
of capital to invest itself where the
promise of profit is most assuring, and
it is the habit of homeseekers TO go
where the most fertile acres are found
and the climatic conditions are most
inviting. 1t is, therefore, reasonable
to presume that the heretofore almost
unknown lands Of Arkansas will attract
both capital and homeseeker Railroads
are the magnets which draw humanity
and capital into new fields 1t is no
flash of imagery to say the state of Ar
kansas has grand future. With splen-
did rivers, rich mines, fertile soil and
varied resources, it is an empire. 1t
may be truthfully said: age cannot
wither her, nor custom stale her infinite
variety"

The weekly crop bulletin for the

The weather has been favorable as re-
CARDS temperature, with showers
which were generally light, and falling
for the most part on the 18th and 18th,
though there we're local showers on
other days in small areas. There was
severe hail in Kittson county on the
18th. On the higher lands, spring
wheat is considered a splendid CROP
and it is we'll headed out in all sections,
except possibly the extreme North.
On the lower lands where there has
been too much water the conditions,
are not so good, varying from almost
nothing to the possibility of fair
crop, according to the amount of wat
or; the heading on these lands is de-
layed and uneven. Southern counties
report little rust, and fears of blight.
Chinch bugs are increasing south Of
the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers
and east of Blue Earth and Faribault
counties. In the small winter wheat
area, the crop is good and beginning
to turn in color. Rye is being cut
south of the middle of the State. Bar
ley looks we'll, and in the South it is
being cut to some extent. Upland
haying is general, with the crop only
fair. Much hay was spoiled early in
the week by bad weather, in some To-
calities. The meadow bay will be late
because of excess of water. Oats are
turning color in southern counties and
will soon be ready to harvest. Corn is
growing finely and is in tassel in the
South. Much damage by foods is re-
ported to property and crops in Ait
ken county. Raspberry picking is in
progress with good crop.

A SERIOUS CHARGE
Brought Against George R. Worth, a

of age, who lives on Lake street be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, is now
in the county Jail with the charge of

of a barn on Lake between Fourth and
Fifth streets and there committed
criminal assault upon her.
Her father, Will Holloway, is an en-
gineer in the employ of the Santa Fe,

AIS Chandler street
Worth was seen coming from the
barn after the alleged assault is claim
ed to have taken place and the girl
was found in the loft Immediately aft
erward greatly frightened. She went
home and told her mother of the occur
renee.
When Mr.. Holloway returned from his
days duties he was informed of the
rumor. He with Sergeant Donovan and
Detectives Capron and Kesson made
an investigation. They gained facts
which they say prove conclusively that
Worth made the assault. Mr.. Holloway
was with difficulty prevented from kill
ing Worth on sight.
Late last night the officers went to
Worth's house and arrested him.

take hold of the project. but since then
aiding members of the lodges have
changed their minds and some AMIGA

made,
