NOBLE LAKE nE5RO HABBED.
He Escaped Through Hole in the
 Calaboose.

The negro, Joe Wetherly, who, on last Thursday, stole from the rear part of Lou Owens Exchange some whiskey, has been captured.
 Wetherly, at the time of the com. mission of his crime, was arrested and placed in the calaboose. He was very fortunate, however, for notwithstanding his inebriacy at the time of bis arrest, he extricated himself from the calaboose and en- ioyed h:s liberty until last night, owing to the fact that there was a hole in the wall of the calaboose.
 This morning Deputy Constable Johnson, colored, who effected his arrest at Noble Lake last night brought him before Judge J. H. Garrett, where be plead guilty as charged, and was by the court fined $25 and costs. Ia addition to this he was given 50 days.

MR. SAWYER's ILLNESS.

We regret to state that Mir. w. l.. Sawyer, of the Sawyer < Austin Lumber to-, has suffered relapse and is in critical condition. 1t was intended to move him in a private car to his former home at La Crosse, Wis, but his condition is at present too critical to permit Of any such change.
 The prayers of our people will go out for Mr. Sawver's recovery. His death at this time would not only be a calamity to his family and his company, but Pine Bluff as well. He has recently located and is building one of the largest lumber plants in the South in this city. Already there has been a remarkable fatality among the members of the company within the past year. Mir. Arnold was killed in q railroad wreck in Iowa last Spring, and MT. Austin died this year at an advanced age at his home in Lacrosse.
 NOtW1CnSIduuIDS tHeS6 id1dlltiCc since the inauguration of tie work, Mr. Sawyer has continued opera tions in Pioe Bluff, and now that he has suffered a serious attack of ty- phiod fever. it is especially unfortu- nate. It was his intention to make Pine Bluff his future home and to re- move a great many families from La :. Crosse to this place. Should his illnoss prove fatal it would be serious blow to the company and deter in measure the immigration to this city so much desired.
 Typhoid fever is no respector cf places or persons, and is no worse here than where. but at this juncture Mir. Sawver's death would be deep calamity.
 The Graphic joins with our people in hoping that Providence may deal kindly with Mir. Sawyer and vouch- safe him a return to health and hap piuess.

The work of the mission has a tell ing effect upon non church goers. Many men W ho formerly spent near ly all, and in some instances. their entire check fooiishly. saved it aud are now paving old debts. They are certainly reaching the masses, as their good judgement is eYinced by the large cro owds nightly, at their hall.

 We contend that the rates charged from New York and other eastern seaboard points to Pine Bluff are unjust and undue, and in themselves unreasouably high, and a discrimination in faycr of Shreye- port and Monroe and against Pine Bluff; that the said discrimination is great injury to the commercial interests of Pine Bluff, and that the railway companies herein accused are in violation of the rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in that they are charging a greater pensation for the transporta- tion of like kinds of merchandise under similar circumst tanees and conditions ot the shorter distance from New York and other eastern seaboard points to Pine Bluff, than for the longer distance to Shreve port and Monroe, o7er the same lines and in the same direction, the shorter being included in the lon. ger distance.
 Whereof this Commercial League, on behalf of the commercial inter. ests of Pine Bluff, pfays for the necessary and proper relief.

hits my employer hard and he deserves
it, too. l should like to send him a
copy OF the letter and so enable him
to find out how to treat me better"
Well, if your employer infringed upon
your rights, I hope, as you do, that ne
read the letter Now, can you turn in
a fair spirit and read about some of
his rights? Peraaps he may feel like
sending you copy Of this letter. What
then?
Yes, employers have their rights, too,
and some of the men who work for
them have little or no conception Of
what these rights are. 1t is time well
spent to discuss what employees are
entitled to, and we all know that many
of them get less than they deserve,
but it is equally profitable to talk about
what employers are entitled to, for
many OF them do not get what they
pay for. Look at q hundred employees
on their way to work some morning.
Study their faces. A part Of these
people, both men and women, will look
as if they were more fit to go to sleep
than to go to work. Yes" you say,
but they must have pleasures. They
work for it." How about the men fer
whom they work having the results
of the physical strength needed for a
days labor? They pay for it, and pos
sibly think it one of their rights that
they should have it.
OVERRIDING THE PLEASURE PART.

said in my hearing, II was out at o
dance last night and l.la's get 10 bed

half asleep. Wish l were going the
other way (meaning toward home).
He looked about half asleep, and l
could not help thinking how unfit he
was for days work | suppose he
would have been offended if his en-
ployer had paid him for that days SER
vice, not by the hour but by the amount
of energy he put into his work AS
to pleasure? OF course every person
needs some and can have it and not
incapacitate himself for good work.As

to work in the morning physically I'M

well as he does in getting his paw
promptly.
a RELIGION HARD TO PRACTICE.
One Of the most searching tests that
can be made Of Ders II S moral char
acter is that of the degree of faithful
ness with which he does his work. One
can understand what the employer
meant when he said tnar ne wished his
men had been taught that il is dis
honest for them to take their pay and
not to do their WORK faithfully. Lei us
see. If person is taking $40 a week
for services and only does four-tifths
of his work he IS receiving 81 for which
he gives nothing in return. Hundreds
of employees who would not take a
cent from the money drawer do not
seem to realize that it is wrong to take
wages and not give an equivalent in
labor.
Turn the tables a minute. If an en-
ploye worked full time and his employ
er paid him for only four-fifths of the
time, lots of things would be said by

upon which dusky squaw he has placed
fhis affections, returns from the hunt,
and, selecting the finest of the trophies
! he has gained, takes them to the open
ing of the tepee in which his sweet
heart lives and leaves them for her. If
his suit is looked upon favorably, she
comes out OF the tepee and takes care
pf his horse, after which she prepares
meal for her lover from some of the
choicest portions of the animals or
game which he has brought from the
hunt. She watches beside him to see
hat there is nothing he wants while
lining, and after he has finished she
Eepares his pipe for him and then tells
Harents of what has happened.
ezsss1ges<are not handed
them by a uniformed servant Of the
government, nor are they Enclosed in
daintily perfumed or tinted envelopes.
The maiden finds the messages from
her lover cut in stones or in the bark
of the trees and sometimes painted in
grotesque figures on the skins that
cover his tepee
In the far north and the Land of the
Midnight Sun the maidens show that
they have become engaged by wearing
in their hair white ribbons, while the
young men who have been accepted
present their sweethearts with furs,
seal oil, candlefish and whale blubber.
They do their lovemaking, however,
through the young woman's mother or
some 1l the older members of her
faY1ey, and at no time until the cere-
Nohy takes place are they allowed to
zoe in each others company alone.
AFTER the ceremony has been performed
they build their place of abode with
blocks of ice and enter the married
state without the aid of wedding tour.

b their duties For the man who IS
risking his capital in business. and who
has the bills to meet when they come
due, it is natural that he should ex-
pect the people in his employ to mani
fest an honest interest In what they
are doing
KNOW THIS SALESGIRL?
Pardon me, But some of the young
women clerks need word here. We
mean those young women who divide
their time with the customer and the
salesgirls next to them. The custom
er must summon courage to ask to be
shown more goods, for she must break
into trivial conversation being car
ried on about What Will said last
night" or Pink will be prettier."
Meanwhile the customer waits and
wishes that Will would lose no time
in marrying this girl. so that her place
could be taken by a saleswoman who
would pay attention to customers, and
do her chatting at some other time.
FAULT-FINDING EMPLOYEES.
Do not expect your employer to take
a great interest in your welfare until
you show him you are taking an equal
interest in his business. and are en-
deavoring to do all you can to promote
its welfare Do not find fault with
him, and then wonder why he does not
advance your salary more rapidly, or
take you into the firm right away
Learn this truth: Employers are not
the chief factors in the advancement OF
employees. When a young man real
ICES the meaning of this statement, and
begins to. put it in practice, he is head
ed toward success. Many a clerk has
put his whole energy into a business
and worked hard for years, studying
every detail of the business, and final
ly made himself so valuable to his en-
ployer that he had either to advance
him, or be the loser by not doing 1t.
Some men have formed themselves into
firms in just this way. Do not be sur
prised if you do not get ahead in BUSH
ness if you are not straining every
nerve to this end. Success in life is a
costly thing, but one can generally
have it If he will pay the price for il.
The way is still open. Most en-
pioyers were once working for other
people. Some of them are where they
are now because they saved their
money until they had enough to make
a start in business. They denied them
selves some of the good times that
their friends were having. for they
knew that this was the way for them
to get the first thousand dollars. They
went into business and denied them
selves still in order that they might
draw out as little money as possible
so as to get along the faster. They
have succeeded, but by denial, hard
work and the weight of many RESPONSE
bilities. You have the same right. Let
no man get the idea that his employer
is lying awake nights in order to study

way If you accept his money, he is

pursued at funerals, and their lovemak-
ing, betrothals and obseQuies ere all
dealt with together.
Their mode of burial is strange.
When a Karen dies, he or she is in
tered tomporarily-that is, if they are
of the ordinary people. # they were
in possession of barge estates, their re-
mains are cremated. The ashes are
gathered together and placed in a
small teak wood chest after which
they are buried fer a time. The tenn

preparations are made Tor II "A large
open space is selected, and high
platform made Of bamboo sticks is
constructed. 1t is surrounded with pill
lars OF bamboo and cocoanut palms.
These are decorated with fiendish look
ing charms, flags, rags, flowers and
mementos
When the day arrives for the great
feast, every man, woman and child
from the surrounding country attends.
Many of the dead are brought from
their resting places to be reburied in
some other part, never to be disturbed
again, while some are only to have
their first internent
When everything is in readiness, the
corpses are brought upon the platform
and laid on mats of fern fronds and
white linen, which are placed in the
center of the stage. The mourners are
the first to go on the platform They
take their places at the north of it,
while the maidens who wish to be mar
ried go to the east, and the men who
are to be married take up a position
on the west. The disinterested spec
tators go to the southern end Of the
platform, and after they have settled
down the ceremonies begin.
The maideas present a dazzling ap
pearanee. They are dressed in their
brightest and best and adored with
their own and sometimes with the jew
els of their kinswomen. A Karen wo-
man would rather give up her life than
her gems.
Before the obsequies begin the court
ships are performed, and the mated
lovers withdraw en- masse to be imme-
diately married. The wooing men be-
gin their part of the ceremonies by
singing their PROPOSALS. The wooed
maidens sing in response their accept
ances or reflections. Proposals, ac-
ceptances or reflections are one and all
sung in high toned minor key. They
are attenIively listened to and often
commented upon by the spectators.
After this has been concluded the
would-te bridegroom sings in turn a
scio to his loved one. The spectators
applaude and criticise the youth who
sings, but none seems to enjoy this
unique exhibition more than does the
maiden to whom he is singing. Often
the songs are borrowed from some of
the masterpieces of the Burmese
drama, most Of which the Karens know
we'll and have translated into their own
tongue.
If nothing else, the Kareas are dra-
matte, and shy one is hard to find.
While singing their love songs the men
contrive to break them with sobs and
bedew them with tears. They do not

Some Strange
Marriage Customs.

4. This is the season Of weddings. May
and June, the months Of flowers and
marriages, are the most beautiful ones
of the year, and during this season
the world over young peoples fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love.
All marriages, however, do not take
place in church, with satin robed
bridesmaids, ushers and best men, to
say nothing Of rice and wedding break
fasts.
Every nationality has its own meth
DDS of wooing and wedding, from the
savages in the wilds of Africa to the
civilized peoples of Europe and Ameri-

cases, and especially If the young man
lives in an adjoining village, he goes
to the house of the girl of his choice,
and if she is willing they elope. Some
times he steals his bride, and often
with the consent of her parents, for
in an event of that kind he keeps
possession of all but his daughter and
in most cases is willing to stand that
loss SO long a nothing else goes with
the bargain.
While some OF these are strange,
they do not compare with the wooing
and weddings Of the Karens. Theirs
is the strangest of all, for the wedding
ceremony is also part of an obsequy.
The Karens live in the hills of Burma
and on the borders of China and are

being cheated out of his honest due. In
the one case the employe does not do
what he agreed to do, and in the other
case the man for whom he works fails
to keep his contract. Fair question: Is
the debt of labor any less sacred than
the debt of wages? Think Of the hours
