The Frame of a Story.


New Orleans Picayune.
The romantic young person who
is to write novel that will be read
and paid for by publishers, puts it
up this way: A manly form, noble
brow, ingenious features; devoted
and true. A willowy figure, eyes
soft and lambert, and half hidden
by lashes that emphasize the bright
ness of the orbs they shadow, teeth
like a double row of pearls, cheeks
upon which red follows white as the
shadow of the summer cloud glides
over the grassy mead, a voice in
formed with sweet, enhancing
music. Long and client exchanges
of loving thoughts, followed by
words of affection that mantle the
cheek of the listener with the glow
of happiness supreme. A clouded
brow, lines of anguish, ecstasy di-
vine gives place to- doubt and dis
trust; averted looks and hasty
words; arrangement. Tears, heart
sickness, misery; descending smiles
and masquerade of careless joy;
coquetry, sullen visage. A last
meeting, formal and distant; an ac-
cidental touch of hands; a sigh, a
glance; recrimination, explanations,
clouds dispense; dearer than ever;
ssHenry!" '*Darlingv t'To think
for a momentr' GLOW could ~"
ssWhen shall it be?" Bushes; lips
meet lips. Rapture! Sunshine af-
ter the storm, the mornings light
following the ebon gloom of night,
sadness turned to JOY and misery
transformed to happiness. Stern
father; detection; roses disappear
from cheeks; eyes downcast; appe-
tite gone; lassitude, fading away.
Mother prays; speaks of their own
early trials in the courts of love;
father inexorable. Meets with an
accident, lying on his prison couch,
tenderly nursed by his hollow-eyed,
wan-cheeked daughter. "Forgive"
Relief in tears; reason resumes her
throne Her life is saved. <tTake
her; let it be as soon as you please. !"
Roses return, step gladstone and
light. Milliners, dressmakers,
whirl of excitation. Wedding bells;
never was handsomer couple.
True love at last rewarded.

FEW SUGGESTIONS TO
PARENTS.

In order 70 make the public
schools as effective as possible, the
cooperation of parents is a prime
necessity. This cooperation can
be exerted in a great many way S
that will easily occur to parents
who give the matter of their
children's education careful and
anxious thought, and certainly
their children's education should be
of deep concern to all parents.
Two specially important means
of aiding the teacher are regular
attendance of pupils and study
hours at home. 1t is perfectly
natural for children to lose interest
in that which they see their parents
manifest li:tle interest in, so that it
behooves every parent 70 show an
interest in his child's work at
school, and to insist that he shall
attend regularly and promptly.
Under no circumstances should a
child be allowed to remain at home
unless it is impossible for him to
go. The parent should insist on
his child going every day that he
can. Every day at school has its
duties and the child should be there
to perform them Some parents
have a mistaken idea that if the child
misses four days or three days, he
can wait till the next week and no
harm done-but there is. 1t not
only causes the child to lose in
struction and explanations, but de-
velops in him Indifference and lack
of interest, if it does not cause him
to be discouraged by finding him
self hopeiessly dragging in the
class. To painstaking teacher
this irregularity of attendance is a
great ause of worry. In the mat
ter of preparation of lessons, par
ents should not leave the entire
burden upon the teacher, but
should assist by assigning hours to
their children for study and see
that they devote their time to it,
One hour in the afternoon, say
from 4 to s, one hour at night FROM
7 to 8, and 80 or 40 minutes before
or after breakfast. If parents will
act on these suggestions and carry
them out throughout the year, better
work can be done and the children
be correspondingly benefited.

The papers of St. Landry and St.
Martin complain Of the failure of the
juries of those parishes to convict
criminals guilty of dastardly crimes
In St. Landry parish, the Clarion
informs us, the court officials are
powerless to foil the deep-laid
schemes of the criminal classes
that have banded together for the
purpose Of defeating the aims of
Justice In ST. Martin parish man
proved to be guilty of as fiendish
a crime as ever darkened the Crimi-
nal annals Of any country, civilized
or uncivllized, was deliberately
turned loose upon the community.
The main cause Of this trouble is
the loose manner some parishes have
of selecting jurors. The best men
of the community should be called
to perform this important duty

the communicating influences of

clans who use the machinery Of

REPUBZ/CAN CORRUP-
TON.

The decent Republicans of Penn
sylvania are focking to the support
of Judge jerks, the Democratic
nominee for governor So disgust
ingly rotten has the Quay machine
been shown to be that the leading
Republican papers of that State
are repudiating the corrupt gang
and advising the people of that
State to drive from power the great
cortuptionist, Matthew Quay, and
his tools who have been guilty of
so much dishonesty that their con-
tinuance in office means the COM
plete decentralization of that COM
monwealth. Quay, who is a man
of great prominence in national
politics, is perhaps the most I'M
considerable rascal in the United
States. He has not only disgraced
his own State, but he has dis
honored the United States Senate
by occupying a seat In that body.
He it was who openly boosted OF
having dealt in sugar stocks and of
having used his position as a Sena-
tor to obtain certain information
which enabled him to derive large
profits from his speculations. The
Pittsburg Leader, a hitherto stall
wart Republican paper, has turned
away sick at heart from Quay's
corrupt methods, and speaks out
it's feelings in the following strong
language:
"At this point the Leader, as a
matter Of conscience and of de-
cency, washes its hands of the
whole sueaking, jobbing, wire-Pull-
ing, iaw-twisting Republican OUTFIT
in this State, and turns, with
sense Of relief and refreshment to
the candidacy of George A. jerks,
the Democratic nominee for COVER
nor, whose personality, public
record and political surroundings
are above reproach, and of whose
competency and trustworthiness
there can be no doubt in the mind
of any man. For DR.. Swallow,
who is sensa,ionalist without
much ballast, the Leader has no
sympathy"
So general is I the dissatisfaction
among the honest Republicans that
there is good reason to hope that
that stronghold of Republicanism
will be carried by the Democrats.

SHARPITES.

A lady correspondent from
the Mt. Home College to the
Citizen of that place has the
following to say of two ma
tive Sharp county boys who
are students in that institu-
tion.
Mr.. Charles w. Kavan.
augh, the best humored mem.
ber of the class, was born
at Sidney, Ark, March II,
1875. His father dying two
years later little Charles
and his mother afterward
made their home with his
grandfather. At the age of
six he entered school. The
school house, a log cabin; the
book, a blue back speller.
Young Charles was always
a favorite of his teacher and
was never whipped. He
was mischievous, but always
cunning enough to keep out
of trouble. Mr.. Kavanaugh
worked on the farm every
year from the time he was
old enough. At the age of
seventeen, he entered Sidney
Collegiate Institute, where
he remained three years.
He taught his first school at
the age of nineteen. Mr..
Kavanaugh entered Mount
ain Home College in 1895 as
a member of the freshman
class. He has chosen law
as his profession. Some day
perhaps, he may be president
of the United States. We
do not know that he cherish
es any such ambition, but
why not? Should he ever
aspire to that, or any other
high Office, he may count on
four votes from the '98
Juniors of Mountain Home
College. OF course, by that
time, we shall all be allowed
to vote.
Mr.. J. A. Gray, the oldest
member Of our class, was
born at Evening Shade.
Sharp county, Ark, in the
year Of 1873. He was the
third and meanest mem Der OF
a family of twelve children,
On account of sickness, he
was kept out of school until
his eight year.
About this time his tatller,
who was a saddler and shoe
maker, moved to a farm in
lizard county, in order to
put his boys to work. Mr..
Gray, later on, took up the
I management Of the farm af-
fairs in general, his father
having lost a leg in the civil
war and his older brother
not liking farm work. Mr..
Gray was not fond of school
