Superintendent Adams laughed at
her perpleXed tone. Pointing across
the street to the postoffice, he showed
her a conveyance of type fast dying
out in New England. The canvas-cOv-
cred top formed a canopy, edged by
the rolled side curtains; at the back a
trunk was strapped; one of the two
horses had dropped his head and with
closed eyes was patiently switching
away flies.

he said half aloud, "That is an unusual

A week later found Ruth Lincoln es
tablshed as teacher in district Number

need help" The many obstacles that
rose in her path can only be appreci-
ated by those who have taught such a
mixed school, But hers was one of
of those fortunate spirits that enjoy
conflict, and she faithfully studied,
remedied and in many cases perfected
errors.
Ruth boarded with the family of a
farmer and found ample opportunity
to learn by experience of their every
day lives. The winning way that had
melted the liking of the superintendent
was quite as effective with the plain
folks of the district. Although they
never saw her when she was aught but
bright and cheerful there were times
when her dark eyes held sadness
that belied the fun and sparkle and
keen humor that showed itself in many
ways. There was much criticism Of
''these normal IDEAS that replaced the
good, old time ways. This was borne

While he scanned the papers she
handed him, the candidate awaiting

out along the quiet street, then back
again to the small room whose outer
door bore the inscription ''Office of the

In some way, the easy replies of this

a young man, but his voice had the
impetuousness of youth as he asked
suddenly, "Do you mind telling me

In a recent speech at Omaha ex-
Vice President Stevenson said:
To-day the great trusts of the
country are practically supreme.
Many of them are 80 entrenched IN
power that they are to all iatents
and purposes above the law and no
longer amenable to legislative
action. The crying evil of the
times is the power and sway Of the
trusts. They endanger not only
free institutions, but our free men,
The battle cry of the democratic
party should be, the trusts must go.
All legislation bestowing special
benefits on the few is unjust ant
against the masses and for the
classes. 1t has gone on until less
than s per cent of the people OWL
more tha n two.thirds of the wealth
of our country. 1t has been truly
said that monarchies are destroyed
by poverty and republics by wealth.
If the greatest republic the world
has ever seen is destroyed, it will
fall by this vicious system of rob
biug the many for the benefit Of
the few"

The Jallor Given a Bath.

We thought Jailor Butler had
Travelled around enough in this
world to keep of the grass or have
tricks played oil on him, but a good
one is told on him. He found him
self at a party the other night
where games were played, and the
young people told him as he was
from the city and a deputy sheriff
too, they wished TO honor him by
introducing him to the king aud
queen. Mr.. Butler took the bait
and while he was pulling his pants
out of his boot-legs and combing
his hair, the young people were Tx
ing the throne. To cut the story
short, Butler was led into the room
where he found three chairs ar
ranged in a row, the two end ones
occupied by the king and queen,
and over the backs of the
chairs was spread a sheet. The
mi Idle chair was turned so that the
seat was out and in place was a tub
of cold water hidden under the well
stretched sheet Mr. Butler was
presented to the pair of crowned
heads, and both pointed to the
centre seat and commanded him to
sit down, which he did, but instead
of finding the char, he landed in
the tub of water. Mr.. Butler en-
ioyed the joke as much as these
who perpetuated it upon him. They
say it took a cord of wood to dry
the jailor's clothes after the soak
ing he got.

We most heartily endorse the fol-
lowing from the Dardanelle Pilot;
One of the most important matters
to come before the Legislature will
be a measure exemptlug factories
and ike industries from taxation
for a perion of ten years. Arkar-
sas is sadly in need of enterprises
aHd she will contiaue so if some
steps are not taken to induce cap
talsts to invest their means in this
state. About the most practical
way of doing this is to exempt such
industries FROM taxation. The leg
islator who opposes a measure OF
this kind should not ask to be en-
trusted again with the interests OF
his constituents.

GREAT TRUNK LINE.
To Be Constructed on Several Roads
Which Are at Present Inde-
pendent Properties

Here is the way a writer in the
Memphis Scinitar sizes up the rail
road situation
On January of this year the
Little Rock. Hot Springs & Texas
Railway was sold at a forced sale 10
Hot Springs. The property was
bought by the Fordyce syndicate
for $4,000 which was the upset
price. The same syndicate had
already bought the road at a pri-
,ate sale on Dec, 5, but Judge Will
liams had refused to confirm the
sale. He confirmed, however, the
public sale of Jan. L.
1t is understood now that an
agreement exists between the For
dyce syndicate and the Pee Gee;
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf, AID
the Texas Midland. All of these
three lines, it is said, will combine
to purchase the Little Rock, Hot
Springs & Texas Railway from the
syndicate, or else one of them will
purchase it and assume control and
act with the other lines. The Texas
Midland is now figuring on an ex-
tension from PARIS, Texas, to Mena,
Ark.
At Meua the Pee Gee road will
start an extension to run to Hot
Springs. From Hot Springs, the
Little Rock, Hot Springs & Texas
road would be used INTO Little Rock
At Little Rock the Pee Gee roac
could connect with the Choctaw
Oklahoma & Memphis and run into
this city.
The whole of the territory which
the proposed line of the Pee Gee
road would traverse is fertile
region aud should prove of great
benefit to any read running there
There are no railroads interSecting
this territory. Thus the Pee Gee
read would have practically a new
territory. The business from Hot
Springs to Little Rock is also a very
valuable passenger business anc
would be worth going after, Witt
the Texas connection by way of the
Texas Midland into Paris, the whole
| line would be a great drain of al
that western country.
1t is known that the Pee Gee
road and the Choctaw, Oklahoma &
Memphis are very friendly with
each other, and there wonld be nj
friction on account of the parable
nature of the two roads. The tive
lines run some distance apart, ant
the territories are entirely differ
ent, the Choctaw going out for thu
west and northwest, whereas th'
Pee Gee would 90 out into Texa
and the southwest,
1t is known that Col, Fordyce ha'
bought the Lott road and that BIZ
intentions is to build west frou
Little Rock to Benton, aud follow
the old government telegraph line
to Hot Springs from there to thi
city. Whatever move the Fordyct
syndicate may make, Texarkana
will share in the good such dea
will brinu forth.

Politics is a mighty poor field for

what Governor Taylor, Of Tennes-
see, has to say about it; Every
honest man who runs for ofGce is a
candidate for trouble, for the VIC
tory turns to ashes on the lips. To
rue there is nethiug in this world so
pathetic as a candidate. he is like
a mariner without compass, drift
ing on the tempest-tossed waves OF
uncertainty, between the smiling
cliffs Of hope and the frowning craPs s
of fear. He is a walking petition
and living prayer; he is the hack
