Gratitude In Women.

Are feelings of gratitude absent in
women? That clever gentleman who
does the Private Diary in The Corn
hill Magazine rs not quite satisfied upon
the subject. This is his way Of putting
it: AS gratitude depends upon imagi-
nation. ii may well be that women, har-
ing less imagination than men, are less
grateful. The doctor tod me 'intermit-
tent heart is 4 not uncommon, female
ailment. To sugar the pill, however,
the diarist says: IN defense of the ma
isned sex l should like to record case
of gratitude i'll a woman that left me a
little mournful. had sent Charlotte a
book for her birthday last autumn, and
at breakfast today she said. oh, thank
you for that delightful book you sent

Memorial Services.

Mena Weekly News.
 Last Sunday was memorial day and was duly observed by the peo- pie of this city and surrounding country. Union services were held in the park and a large crowd was in attendance; many old soldiers who wore the blue and the grey were present. Friendship and brotherly love between the soldier from the North and the soldier from the South was more firmly impressed, and now stand as a united people.
 Seats had been arranged for the occasion and the speakers stand decorated with flags. fine Port Arthur Route Band discoursed several selections, and have the thanks of all who heard the music.
 The meeting was called to order by A. w St. John, who delivered a very patriotic and impressive address, every word right to the point. The program as published was carried out: Prayer by w. l.. Compere scripture reading by Rev. c. J. Green; sermon by Rev. H. R. Schermerhorn and several songs by the choir.
 These were probably the first ser vices of the kind ever held in this county and it is hoped that in the future, memorial day will be ob- served by our people.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
The PopuIists Name Ticket and De-
 pose Committeeman Sovereign.

At the state convention held at Lit tie Rock on May 31, the following ticket was placed in nomination.:
 Governor, w. s. Morgan, Sharp county; Secretary of State, A. T. Bar low, Logan county; Attorney General, R. A. Moore, White county; State Treasurer, B L. Jones, Franklin county; State Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction, B. P. Baker, White county; Commissioner of Mines, Man ufacture and Agriculture, T. w. Hays, Nevada county; Commissioner of State Lands, George Martin, Independence county. Nominees for auditor and as- sociate justice will De named by the state central committee.
 J. R. Sovereign was deposed as a populist national mitteeman be- cause of democratic proclivities. The convention was strictly a middle.of- the-road affair. The platform adopt ed reaffirms the Omaha declaration and denounces the election law of Ar  kansas.
 A. w. Files of Pulaski county, was elected chairman of the state central committee, ard in speech he asked why it was that the hall was not full of delegates. He thought it was be- cause the party had been "bottled up" by the politicians and also because many populists were financially un- able to come to the convention. He arraigned the democratic party for lack of sincerity Tn the fusion move ment of 1896; he took Senator J. K. Jones to task for introducing a silver coated bond bill. ignoring greenbacks. Where IS the Bryan democracy now? Bryan is not in it now. The babies are being named Dewey and Fitzhugh Lee. Free silver was the only reform promised by the Bryan democracy. Mr. Files vigorously opposed bonds and as warmly favored greenbacks. He said greenbacks were good Tn 1861 with divided country and would be good now with united country.
 This county was represented by Thos Fletcher on proxy from J. N. Lane.

most surprising thing that our readers can imagine.
 Two armorclads, three cruisers. six launches armed with mitraillenses and caDpons, five lighters full of dirty and greasy Yankees; all this was di- rected toward Spanish soil and pro- ceeded nolselessly to Mariel.
 But at Mariel were the Geroa rife men, a gallant battalion that received the hogs at far range
 And, Oh! Cowardice never before seenl Those armorclads, those cruis CTS, those launches and those militia men turned tail to the land and placed all their hopes in flight, thus saving their skins

 When the women of Kentucky or of New York hear of this they will pre- sent you with their best petticoats.
 And those Yankee women will be no worse looking for the shame, for even in time of peace they are worse than a Cninawoman.

 Europe and America are laughing with open jaws at these mule-slaying warriors, who flee from the guns of Havana and Puerto Rico. and instead burn with jets of steam unfortunate and defenseless passengers.
 What shamel
 If these gentlemen come here we shall have first class harvests in com ing years, as our fields will be splen- didly manured with the grease of hogs and the bones of mules. Come. cow ards!
 It is said that the American guns are of great range. But what There is compensation for everything in this world. And in exchange, the sailors who have to handle these guns are persons of little range. So one thing makes up for the other.
 Taking this into account, 1t is easy to explain why, in the bombardment of Matanzas, now celebrated in the annals of modern history, no projec- tile fell even by mistake within the circuit of the city nor within the forti- fications of the coast.
