properly administered will satisfy

Take Your Medicine.

"Some rain must fall into every life," no
skies are always clear;
No eye but sometimes has TO feel the damp
ness of tear;
No heart is always light and glad, no cup is
ever sweet,
No lifepath always free from thorns that
wound the toling feet.
But when the cares seem heaviest then
courage should be shown,
No angry clouds can be dispelled and scat.
tered with a moan,
And when your sun is cloaked from sight
restrain the rising curse
just take your pill and thank the Lord it
isn't any worse.
The man who lodges in alright when trou-
BILE lightnings flash,
tion's lash,
Whose lips are pale with mute despair,
whose head is lowly bowed,
Whose timid spirit is appalled, at every
threatening cloud.
Can never hope to breast the waves on life's
uempestuous sea,
Can never hope to hold his place with men
more brave than he;
So, timid mortal show your nerve, fight
every reverse,
And take your pill and thank the Lord it
isn't any worse.
The men who plant their feet upon the sum-
nit of success
Are they who never faltered when con-
fronted by distress
Who sanded we'll the slip'ry track, kept
rigid upper lip.
And Snickered in the face of care and never
lost their grip.
Then courage take, We faint of heart; the
clouds will pass away,
The sunbeams of success again upon your
paths will play;
Don't sit around with scowling face, your
every word a curse,
But take your pill and thank the Lord it
isn't any worse.

ES.rg-
The thoroughbred colt to the block,was led,
Proudly he lifted his royal head.
The auctioneer raised his hammer high,
And said to the loafers standing by:
All must be sold, and this is the last
He's trit1e thin, but they say he's fast;
And L guess he'll work come, what will he
bring?
Give us bid to start the thing"
Going-going; the bidding is low
Going-going; no higher they'll go.
Going-gone! to John Smith Jones!
"a fairish price for this bag of bones)
And the thoroughbred cot, with troubled
neigh,
By common farmer was led away
With dunghill mate in the stable stood;
At pillow or cart he toiled all day,
And was fed at night on the poorest hay:
Yet he bore up well, as the long years passed,
For thoroughbred horse is game to the last
One summer Sunday he was allowed
At pasture to run with the common crowd.
His weary limbs he stretched on the grass,
And idly gazed upon all who might pass;
For teo beside the field ran the broad highway
Filled with equlpages grand and gay.
Up came dog cart at rattling speed,
Drawn by nag of the dunghill breed;
For his driver no more of horses knew
Than the farmer whose pillow the thorough
bred drew;
And plenty Of oats, and work that is light,
Put very poor horse in very good plight
The shabby old horse he quickly spied,
And his coarse. thick nostril swelled with
pride,
"Poor fellow!" said he. ''How very great
Is the difference 'twixt your and my estate
With the proud and rich on the road 90,
While you must rank with the dull and
slow"
Never the thoroughbred moved limb,
As he lay and scornfully answered him:
'Oh, silly boaster, of common blood!
Vain is your talk and your speed mo good
And, for all the gay trappings upon your
back,
could easily distance you on the track,
For born to the pillow, for farm horse bred
BY fool you are used on the road instead.
81 am SCARED and CALLED, and my knees are
bent:
In the toughest labor my life is spent;
But one thing is mine as long as live,
Which to you no power on earth can give;
I'm drudge as a pillow horse, if you will,
But remember this, I'm thoroughbred
| still!'

TO WASH OUTING aARMENrs.

Flannel outing garments and underwear
require very careful washing to keep them
from shrinking; shrinking is caused by the
interlacing of the wool fibres; hence it is
desirable to keep the material we'll stretched
out to prevent this. A washboard should
not be used, nor should any soap be ever
rubbed on. 1t is best to use Gold Dust WASH
ing Powder; dissolve enough in hot water to
make good suds, and wash quickly by re-
peatedly immersing in the suds, and drawing
through the hands. Flannels must be wash
Ell IN half warm water-not hot or cold.
Wiring. stretch into shape. and hang to dry
in place where there is no wind or too hot

PREMIUM MONEY
For Pine Bluff State Fair Exhibitors
 Ready for Distribution.

Many people have censured the Pine Bluff State Far Association for delaying the distribution of morey premiums offered at the 3rd Annual State Fair, held in this city last October.
 Most earnestly have the members of that Association worked to please their exhibitors and pay their just debts. They are not to blame, but on the other hand the exhibitors should exercise some patience and be least bit lenient with them Tn that matter.
 The management of the Fair As sociation is now prepared to pay all premiums awarded the exhibitors at the last Fair. Those awarded premiums in the chicken depart ment will be paid same by calling on Mr. ". H. Westbrook. All other premiums will be paid by Secretary M. E Bloom.

 In announcing myself as a eandi- date for the Democratic nomination for the honorable office of Prosecut- ing Attorney of the Eleventh Judie- ial Circuit. l may be permitted to call your attention to the fact that within the history of the District my county, Desha, has but once been honored with one Of the offices.

LIQUOR LICENSE.

The City Council at it's last meet ing increased the price of municipal license for the sale of liquor $I00 oyer the license of 1899. The saloon men feel that this is oppressive. BIS it s a notorious fact that the saloon busi- ness in Pine Bluff is not profitable even at the old license, and they will make an effort at the next meeting of the city council to get the license of 1899 ($500 per annum restored. The Graphic does not believe that the saloon men should he oppressed, and wezcan see no reason why the tsx of last year should be increased. The saloon men give much of their earnings to charity and public en- terprises. and are most liberal in all their contributions for new enter prises and public purposes, and so long as they conduct their business in decent and orderly manner, they should not be oppressed. They feel that with an increase of license, they are being prevented from making u living. and that the city council, in raising their license, is adding to their burdens. The license of 1S99 (S500) is even more than saloon men in other cities in the State are pay ing and their request should be granted.

An aggreemeht to this effect has been drawn up and signed and will contiaue III force until October lst. There is much to commend sn such an arrangement. The stores ilI do iust-as much business, for the trade that has been dribbled out over from IA to lG hours will be con- densed into l2, and no one will lose any thing. The statesmen will be given time for recreatlon. and home duties, pleasures which will be profit able to them in many ways. Under the rule Of opening at day light and closing after every body has gone to bed the salesman have little time Ior anything else.
