THE women of Kentucky church

the congregation. Two thousand of
them had already been sold before the
clergyman discovered that it contained
recipes calling for "a half pint Of

Objectionable recipes are marked with

HOW A YOUNG FATHER FEELS.
The Emotions Which Oveecome Him Are Ex-
perienced But Once in a Lifetime.

When the average novel writer
wishes to describe q set of emotions
for which he has not appropriate
name, he usually refers to them AS
being mingled" and this, perhaps
better than anything else, reflects the
condition of man when he first be-
comes father.
Coupled with the feeling of intense
pride that comes to you as one OF the
interested parties" in such mo-
mentous event, is the kindred feeling
of utter insi significance you also have,
which acts as an antidote.
After being ordered out of the room
by the doctor and the trained nurse
you wander aimlcssly down a side
street, although you cannot for the
life of you tell what there is to be
ashamed at and as you approach
your Office you grow more and more
uneasy.
And yet, while there is guilt written
all over your face there wells up in
your heart q veritable fountain of
intense egotism, which is Immediately
on tap to the first moment OF conf
dence.
You assume a careless, devii-may-
care air, and carry your indifference
to the point of intensity. And then
in response to inquiries.-for your face
itself is story bearer-you announce,
as if it happened daily like the
weather report and the time table,
that it is boy or a girl, as the case
may be. Thus you run the gauntlet,
and, finding that the world still
moves and breathes and everybody is
inclined to settle down, you watch
your chance and get the first unmar-
ried man you can find to consent to
listen to you. You pour into his
sympathetic ear the whole story. You
tell him how much the baby weighs,
who it looks like, how you felt and
how you feel. You describe your
aspirations for that child, talk about
love and duty and education and
training, order small bottle, supple.
ment it with another, get more con-
fidential and finally leave him, with a
sense Of your own intense importance
which only another interview with
the doctor and the trained nurse
and the baby-can wipe out.
But all things have an end. At the
end Of month, while you are at your
desk at profit and loss someone comes
in, slaps you on the back and shouts ::
Well, old man, how's the baby"
And you reply absent-mindedly: "Oh,
he's all right"

Too Much Like an Emperor
Walla Walla Argus.

The Argus doesn't like President
McKinley's refusal to receive the
many people here who wish to meet
him. II he feels too good to shake
hands with US he should remain away,
and if handshaking is too painful an
operation to be borne. he should wear

better than to give out the impression
that he is Mckinley the First and

Rivers Under the Sea.


A few months ago. Mr.. H. Benset,
an English geographer, published an
interesting study of streams of fresh
water flowing beneath the surface oil

Disasters to ocean telegraph cables
first called attention to this subject
On several occasions, about 1895, a
new and we'll made cable between
Cape Verde and Brazil broke. Sound.
ings were made to discover whether
these breakings were due to the state
OF the sea bottom and it was found
that the place in question was neal

transported by this iresh.water stream

succeeded in breaking it. The fact i.

For those who wish their arms to be
beautifully round, the best exercise to
take will be found in the common
rather humdrum duty of sweeping.
Salt baths will improve the skin,
Make q slush.like brine with coarse
salt and water and apply it briskly to
the rough skin until it reddens, then
sponge it off with cold, clear, water.
When high, stiff collars have left
their mark upon the neck, in a sort OF
deep.seated stain, weak solution oi
peroxide of hydrogen will remedy it
as well as anything. Never use hot
water on the skin without following it
with cold water. The hot water
caused the water to relax and open the
pores, leaving the flesh habby. Cold
water makes it firm.

THE local newspaper should be
found in every home where there are
children. What interest can you
expect the children to take in foreign
paper which contains nothing about
any person, place or thing they ever
saw or perhaps heard of Let thsm
have home paper and read of per-
sons whom they know, places and
events with which they are familiar
and soon an interest is awakened
which increases with every arrival ol
the local paper. Thus the habit oI
reading is formed which should, and
probably will, continue through life.

THE KANSAS CRUSADE.

Mrs. Nations temperance crusade in Kansas has resulted in a mass meeting of citizens at Topeka Sun day night, at which the keo 5ers of the joints were served with notice that unless they removed their liquors and closed their illegal joints by Friday at noon that the male citf- zens of the State Capital would move on the joints 9nd smash everything III sight. The mass meeting was at tended by male citizens, all of whom signed pledge to destroy the joints by force unless they are closed up by Friday at noon
 All of this sounds stranp4 to an Ar kansas reader but it must be remem- bered that Kansas is prohibition state a1fd the sale of Lquor is illegal and without the sanction of the law There are no licensed saloons in Kansas, hence the iointists have no legal rights under the law, and are only suffered to continue their traffic py the connivance of derelict officers. II the saloon was licensed in Kansas as 1t is in Arkansas, such crusades as have been conducted by Mrs. Ma ton would be immediately stopped but under the prohibition laws of Kansas saloon is an illegal institu- ton that has no rights under the law that anyone is bound to respect. It is the fragrant outrage of the law by joint keepers that has led to Mrs. Ma tion's crusade. It is simply lawless. ness against lawlessness. The lack of respect for the law on the part of joint keepers has led to a lawless up. rising on the part of a usually law abiding people. It was ever so.and will ever continue to be so. Lawlessness leads to lawlossness, as naturally as love leads to love. But throughout the aKnsas crusade one fact stands out in bold relief, and that is that prohibition does not prohibit. Tn the meantime. events will be awaited with interest

AN OPERA HOUSE
LOCAL CAPITALISTS ARE GOING
 TO BUILD ONE.
Want a Small Bonus-The Play House Not to Cost Less Than
 $2O,oO0.
This is no wind.

This is no wind.
 Dr. J. w. Withers and Messrs. Simon and M E. Bloom, of this city. are going to build an opera house in Pine Bluff, work on which will begin in very short time.
 This was decided upon Tuesday morning. The location has not been selected as yet, but the gentlemen have options on three pieces of de sirable property in the business DOT tion of Pine Bluff.
 These enterprising and Wil-awke citizens will build a frst-class and upto-date theater to cost not less than $20000
 Almost year ago a proposition was made to our citizens that they would contribute and give S5000 as a bonus to any party who would build an opera house in this city In fact, 5000 was subscribed at the time, but when MT. M E.. Bloom offered to ae- cept the money and build the house, another party stepped in and delayed the matter. The result was MT. Bloom became disgusted and with drew his offer and we are still in need of play house
 Messrs. Withers and Bloom mean business. They ask no one to take stock, but as a matter of assistance, will circulate a subscription list, ask ing that s5,000 De contributed by our people as a bonus to erect the play house.
 Their proposition is a fair one and deserving of a liberal consideration on the part of our people, especially the business men, who realize great benefits from theatrical troops in a bushes way, not mentioning the money brought to Pine Bluff by peo- pie from neighboring towns who usu- ally attend shows in this city This is a chance, and it may be the last one, for Pine Bluff to secure a hand some metropolitan play house and everybody should contribute to raise the bonus and thereby cure for Pine Bluff an enterprise that r.ill be prominent factor in tho fJtre devel- opment of the city
