The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-02-10

Two men went to work one fine
October day, one held a corner down
in town and talked the hours away.
He talked with sages like himself
about the country's woes, and with
sort of pride he viewed his ragged
clothes. He doubtless thought that
work would come and beg on bend
ed knees, that he would go and take
a job Of herding humble bees. For
days and weeks he stood around
and talked of woes and wrong, and
squinted round to look for work
which did not come along. When
winter billiards came along and
froze the beard of man, he had no
wood pile in the shed, no coal oil in
the can; he d no tobacco in the box,
or money in the bank; the country
had to give him stuff enough to FILL
his aching tank. The other man
who hunted work, went hunting
with a will; he said I'm Jump at
any job, and try to fill the bill; I'll
quarry rock or chop down trees,
like other toiling gents; i'll can't
make V day I'll work for fifty
cents" When winter came he sat
at ease before his blazing hearth; he
owned a pleasant home although he
didn't own the earth.

Touching the controversy between
England and the Transvaal, the
sympathies of the American people
are with the Beers. England hasno
more right to that territory than
she has TO the state Of Arkansas.
She never settled, conquered or pur-
chased it. She is simply acting the
part of blufing bully toward the
Beers, because she is bigger and able
to do so. This may be treason, but
it is gospel, nevertheless.

The paper trust is causing some of
the newspapers to vince und-
er this form of capitalistic agrees
ion even those whose columns have
teemed with abuse of octopus
hunters" The Kansas City Star
SAYS: There is no trust in the
whole land which is more oppressive
inexcusable than that which controls
printing paper and lays the pub
fishers of newspapers under tribute.
1t has been truly defined as levying
tax on intelligence, sinceit subjects
to extortion all classes of popular
literature. There is no reason for
this form of robbery 1t is harmful
to every interest in the country ex-
cepting the monopoly which profits
by it."

Lincoln Reflections.


When a great public character il
dead, History, like the Almighty.
does not look on the outer appear
ance any longer to Judge thereby.
Living, man may be as gawky in
appearance as Lincoln and as ill-efad.
Short-sighted, little men will call
him a buffoon. Dead, the outer APP
pearanee of his body falls away from
his life-work Just as mans outer
frame falls away from his soul, leav-
ing both bare to the closest scrutiny.
The further away we get from the
living days OF Lincoln, the clearer IS
our knowledge that giant-every
way great-ived and worked and
joked and sorrowed when he lived.
To us young men in the full huriy-
burly of life, no matter what our
politics or what our relation to the
Mason and Dixon line, there is good
for us in look at Lincoln and a
thought about him. Mincing fools
dressed like animated fashion plat.
lose the lessons from him that
real to some of us. To have a or
heart is better than to have
clothes. To have a cheerful
that hides our own heartaches
heart burdens is better than to
among men with look Of gle
and repellant abstraction. To
rail-splitter with the whole h
and from that point up be eve
thing and do everything as from the
heart is to make deep lines ofcharac-
ter in ourselves even if those outside
fail to recognize it. 1t is better to
start low and end high, than to
start high by some accident of pa
rentage and end low There is more
of gam to our inner selves and there
fore more of profit to the dear world
to be forced into struggling for
every vantage point that we gain.
Poor-rich Lincoln had face scanned
more than any mans with the strug-
gle from boyhood onward; and then
to deepen those seams and test the
metal of him came burden such as
no other man has ever borne fu the
history of this country. He swung
to it like man; the keen axe of his
youth needed meyer to be keener than
his sorrowing mind, when there was
misunderstanding and reviling south
of him, and treachery and SANDER
and Judas-kisses of betrayal back of
him. He has his reward; the petty
men of his day are lost to sight; the
North loves him and the South hon
ors him. His way would have en-
riched the South by paying for its
property; his way would have en-
riched the North by making its ex-
penditures ofblood and treasure need
less.
We shall not, cannot all be Presi-
dent, but we can all be right, just
where we are. If we are that, what
we shall be does not yet appear. To
be sincere, purposeful and helpful,
without spelling ourselves with
dreams of eff were this or that or
the other great thing" is to live
we'll and to be Lincoln-like.

HOME OF A GIANTEss,

Miss Ella Ewing, the Missouri
giantess, who is eight feet four
inches high, has at last built a house
for herself at Gown, Mo.
The house has doors ten feet high.
ceiling fifteen feet high, with chairs,
tables and everything else in propor-
ton. Before, this life was a misery
to Miss Ewing.
She began growing fast when she
was nine. years old, and at ten she
reached six feet nine inches. She
was very unhappy because she had
the tastes of little girl when she
was seven feet high. Nothing was
large enough for her, and even if
things we're made especially she
rapidly grew out of them. She is
now happy for the first time in her
life, because she can 60 through a
doorway without humping her head
and sit down in easy chair.

Therefore, dear friend, no doubt 'twixt

There never can be doubt 'twixt you and

Each in the darkness feels the others

Knows that at dawning close the friend

A TOWN AS BAR-KEEPER.

The State of Virginia has just re-
celved its first dividend from the
dispensary chartered by the last leg
islature. The bar is established in
the town of Franklin, Southampton
County, and check for $3.50 was
received by auditor Mayre as the
States share in the profits of liquor
sold, and the assurance was given
that the States share would have been
more but for the paying for the stock
OF wines and liquors on hand.
The law provides for dispensary
for the sale of liquor in franklin,
controlled by board of three men,
who are chosen by the council and
who employ manager at $40 per
month. Whisky and other spirits
are sold in packages only, the small
est being a half pint, and it cannot
be drunk within ten feet of the dis
pensary.
There can be no entrance except
the front door, which is kept open
from sunrise to sunset. The State
gets one-fourth the profits, and three
eights go to the town of Franklin for
general purposes aud three-eights for
school purposes.
The check received indicates a
profit of 5000 in six months, after
paying In full for the stock on hand,
which is fairly good record for
Franklin. The law provides that no
liquor shall be sold to an habibual
drunkard.

NO MAN NAHEROINANIGHT A
MARE.

"Strange that we are always Sc
cowardly in nightmares" remarked
a New Orleans lawyer who has a taste
for the bizarre. 81 don't believe any.
body ever lived who stood up and
made a square stand against the
amorphous horror that invariably
pursues us in such visions. When
have nightmare and the usual mon
ster gets on my trail my blood turns
to water and my conduct would dis
grace sheep. l am beside myself
with stark, downright fear, and
have no idea left in my head except
to run like rabbit. All pride, self
respect, dread of ridicule aud even
the instinct of self-defense are scat
tered 10 the winds; and | believe,
honestly, would be capable of any
lnfamy in order to escape. 1 have
no hesitation in confessing this,
because, as far as l have been able to
lind out, everybody acts exactly the
same way in the throes of night
mare, and | feel certain l would not
make such pitiable spectacle of
myself in real life, no matter what
might befall.
81 think that the explanation of
the nightmare panic Is to be found
in the fact that the dream is almost
invariably accompanied by sense of
suffocation. 1t is well established
that choking-the shutting off of
ones wind, 'touse homely phrase
has an effect upon the mind which
is entirely distinct and different from
that produced by any other form of
pain or peril. 1t fills the victim with
such horror and distraction that he
is tor the moment insane. He will
do anything to get relief. This has
been brought out on more than one
occasion IN the defense of men who
have been choked and killed their
assailants, and judges have held that
the circumstances of such an attack
should be given special consideration
as extenuating the deed. In dreams
the entire nervous system is relaxed,
and it is natural to suppose that the
mental effect of suffocation would be
intensified. At least that is the best
apology l have to offer for my sprints
through nightmare land."-Aesc

Ever since the STIR, on the after
noon following President McKinley's
reelection, advocated the return of
the Democratic party to it, old prin-
oiples and the parting with Populism
and its evils, the press of Virginia
has with remarkable unanimity ad-
vised the same course. The Siam
ton Neacs has an able editorial in
Fridays paper along this line and
the Inder-Appeal is strongly urging
such action, The party, as we said

For our part we do not expect to

we may live to three score years and
ten, but We do not expect to see

represen tation in the South as will
practically blot her out of the sister,

strength and imbued with the ancient
feeling of dislike for the South, there
will be few blows that can be dealt
her she will not now receive. It is
as certain as fate that her peace is in

smarting under the defeat of his bill

There is no trouble to obtain all kinds

Well, they were not. The cut plant was
dipped into a mixture of a%niline, and
the results thus obtained were not the
faults OF nature. Most recent, however,
is the report that flowers can be coIored
