bands are all double, both the edges
of the bib and those Of the epaulettes

summer we acquired a popu'

A Helena special says:
Tom Wilkes, a young white
man wanted in White county
for murder and criminal as
sault, was captured in this
county by W. B. Dice, S. e..
Blakeley, George Wilson and
Hodge Vineyard. Wilkes,
who is only about "a years
old, has been living apart
from his young wife for some
months, and she has recently
been living on the farm Of
Dice. Wilkes came to see
her, for the purpose OF beg
ging her to live with him,
and on ascertaining that he
was on his place Dice sum-
moned the Others and caught
him. Wilkes was captured
seven or eight months ago by
Sheriff Holcom5, of Lonoke
county, as he stepped off the
train in this city. He shack
led and started to White
county with him, but the
youngster got the shacklcs
off and jumped from the car
window when the train was
running thirty miles an hour.
He had previously escaped
on two different occasions,
Sheriff Burke jailed him and
notified TIE White courty au'

HOW 1T MAY bE DONE.
How shall we keep OF

liz" oho't WV
young folk on the farm? is
the question which is With
constant reiteration asked by
the fathers and mothers OF
the rural districts. That is
a question which can be ans
wered only by the fathers
and mothers themselves, and
no Laid plans which will
work automatically will ac'
complish the results desired.
Down in Putnam county,
in ILL.,. many of the farmers
are taking practical steps in
! this direction. We have be-
fore referred to the fine sys-
TEN of telephones in opera
ton in that little country.
There the young people can
get together over the
phone when the weather is
inclement and the roads are
baG. This is one little in
stance. The farmers home
must be made the most at
tractive immaglnable in all
ways. Good books and good
music are among the essen
tials. Sympathetic interest
on the part Of parents in the
higher aspirations of the
young folk; a recognition that
times are not just as they
used TO be, and that in this
age of travel and change the
boy and girl of the farm will
insist upon enjoying some
thing of the larger life be-
yond the home fields.
Good roads will be one OF
the greatest factors in stlmu-
lating the young to agricul-
tural pursuits. But it is not
to be doubted that one of the
most important avenues to
reform will be found in the
more general adoption of dl-
versi6ed production, will
bring into the home at all
seasons Of the year an influx
of "ready cash" This may
at first seem a sordid motive,
but when it is considered the
fact that the town boy or
girl who work in factory or
store receive their pay each
week, and that they are per-
United to enjoy those little
luxuries of life that lift it
out Of the rut of the mono
tonous and the common. place,
the influence of this fact up.
on the young folks who are
shut out from these things is
seen to be important. The
boys and girls will never
leave the farm so long as it
is made the most attractive
and happy place on earth
and this it should be made
for them. Farmers Voice.

Three hundred and eighteen birds

crow.
