A BOYS ESSAY ON GIRLS.

Girls is a queer kind of var mint. Girls is the, only thing that has their Cwn' way every time. Girls is of several thou sand kinds, and sometimes one can be like several thousand oth- CT girls if she wants to do any thing. Girls is all alike one way they are all like cats. If you rub lem the right way of the hair they'll pur and look sweet at you, but if you rub lem the wrong way they'll chaw you. S'long as you let a girl have her own way she's nice and sweet, but just cross her and she'll spit at you worse mar a cat. Girls is also like mules, they re headstrong. If a girl don t want to believe any thing you cam make her. If she knows it's so she won't say so Girls is little women if they are good, and if they ain't good then nor when they get big they're vixens-thats what fath- CT said mamma was once when she chased him around the kitchen with a red-hot poker, cause she was mad at him. Brother Joe says he don't like big girls, but he does like little ones, and when I saw him kissing Jennie Jones last Sunday and told him what he'd said, he said he was biting her cause he didn't like her. 1 think he hurt her, for she hol- lered and run, and there was a big red spot over her cheeks. This is all I know about girls, and father says the less I know about them the better off I am.

This year some of the land renters say that they will barely raise enough cotton to pay the rent but should there be no kill ling frost until late the yield will be greatly increased.
 The cotton is planted about the first of April and is ready to be- gin picking by September 1st. and the picking continues until February the year following. A one hundred and fifty or two hundred acre field in cotton just ready to pick makes a pleasing sight to the eye, making a snowy like surface almost as far as the eye can detect. Cotton picking affords employment for a large number of hands during that season, they are paid so much per hundred pounds for picking, and the average wages amounts to from $1 50 to $2.OO per day for cotton picker.
 The timber business in Arkan- sas from what 1 was told is very extensive. Slaves and bolt tim Der are being gotten out in large qualities continually and shipped to buyers. The lumber industry is large; the saw mills and the work of shipping the lumber at different points in the state af- lords employment to a small ormy of laborers, as it were. The lumber is mostly yellow-pine and sweet gum, popular being rarely ever seen unless it is shipped in from other points.

 It is true that there is an in creasing, and, just now, an unus- ual demand for college-bred men in all walks of life. The prescrib- ed preliminaries to legal and med ical education are, step by step, approaching graduation from col lege, and have reached it, in some instances, while these profession al courses themselves have been extended and deepened, till they are now nearly or quite on par with the old liberal training with which they are coordinated in the modern university.

RUSSIA IN FOR. 1T

The beauties of a trust protective tariff
continue to make themselves visible each
succeeding day. There are great varie-
ties of ways in which these demonstra-
tions of the blessings of a paternal gov
eminent are offered; but the one which
attracts most interest just at this time
is the retaliatory method. Russia has
spoken once more, and once more is the
trust protective administration called on
to explain how and why it happens that
our relations with the closest national
friend of the United States shall be put
in jeopardy rather than that we shall
abate one jot in the enforcement of the
Dingley law.
The Standard Oil company does not
pass in the general view as a beneficent
organization. Its contribution to the sus-
tainment of the federal government in
times of stress or peril would not be
looked forward to as at all likely to dis
prove the truism that corporations have
no souls. Yet tho Standard Oil concern
has to be protected, even though it must
be done at the cost of trouble with the
Russian empire. Not only must we keep
out all petroleum of which the Standard
Oil concern has not secured control, but
in the event of any nation undertaking
to do likewise toward us we must re-
