The report of the Commissioners of Accounts is published, as usual, in this issue. It contains about the usual matter, and nothing sen. sational. The officers of this county are capable, energetic, honorable and straightforward in all their dealings, and if by chance mistak es are made, they are always ready and anxious 10 correct same. The report refers to a dereliction oi duty on the part of Sheriff Vii, Hams, and may be construed by some minimizing persons to ref1ec, upon his administration. The fact IS, however, and everybody knows it, that Bill Williams has made the most efficient sheriff, and the best average collections tha, had ever been made in this county He is always first to make bls settlement and has never been found a penny short, so if he ha: been derelict it has been because he thought it was for the best inter est of all concerned.

Superintendent Koerper. of the Con- sumer's Cotton Oil Company. has en- closed neat little plot of ground just east of the office ill the mill enclosure, where he intends to plant a flower gar den. The ground has already been pulveriZed and fertilized, and the at- tractive fence which has been erected lends greatly to the beauty and general appearance of the surroundings. Mir. koerper has keen eye for the beauti- ful m nature and is continually devIs- ing some means by which he can make the grounds about the mill site more pleasing and attractive to the visitor The gentleman's enterprise is to be commended and his example should be emulated by every property owner in Forrest City. There is nothing which adds so Tuch to the appearance of a town as pretty door yards and flower gardens. We blush with shame when We think of the many front yards in Forrest City which present a dead and barren appearance. Let the good peo- pie bestir themselves and clean up their premises and plant flowers. Such a policy will enhance the value of real estate and exercise refining and eie- vating influence upon our citizens.

CAREER FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

Each shouId Fit Herself for Something
n . Vocation.
The strenuous life Of today demands
that a young woman, no less than a
young man, should have definite ideas
concerning a career, and that her edu-
cational work, and particularly her
college training. shall be along the
line Of preparation for such career. At
least, this is the opinion that Is IN
tertained by the up-to-date girl and her
family, and the number Of young girls
who are entering the professions or
fitting themselves for business life
proves hat the contingent Of the COM
munity which believes in professional
or business careers for women Is a
large one and steadily growing. There
is one woman in town-a prominent
worker in clubs and philanthropic as
sociations-who has carved out a Ca
reer for herself in a literary way, and
is DESTROYS and even anxious that her
boys and girls shall have a definite
life work. Three OF the children have
pretty well defined ideas as to what
they desire to make their life work,
including the elder girl, who is yet at
college. The remaining child. the sec
ond daughter, has no settled opinions
as to her Career" and her mother, in
discussing her children's futures with
a friend, said recently. in response to
her visitors comment upon the pretti-
ness of this young girl: Yes, she Is
pretty, but there it ends. She is just
a dear, pretty goose, without any spe-
cial ability or inclinations, and l sup
pose she'll have to marry" The tone
more than the words conveyed the i'm
preston that marriage was the opposite
of a desirable career, and the resort
only OF the girl with mediocre talent.

charm, although the who made

Giants, Kettles in Minnesota.

In the Interstate Park, near Taylor's
Falls, Minnesota, has been discovered
a singular group of giants kettles"
or potholes, covering al area of two
or three acres and ranging in diameter
from less than a foot to % feet, and
in depth from one foot to "a feet. They
have been bored in exceedingly hard
rock, and in many cases they are like
wells in shape, the ratio Of width to
depth varying from one to five up to
one to seven. Mr.. Warren Upham
ascribes their origin to torrents fall
ing through glacial " moulins" at the
time when the northern territory OF
the United States was buried under
ice. AS with similar pot-holes else
where, rounded boulders are occasion
ally found at the bottom Of the cavi-
ties.

Commoner Comment.
Extracts from w. J. Bryan's Paper.
Harrison vs.. Brown.

In his now famous, or infamous
opinion, Justice Brown sought to re-
assure our Porto Rican subjects by
telling them hat they could safely de-
pend upon the ~benevolence and kind
ness of congress in the exercise of that
body's ''unrestrained possession OF
power" The Pittsburg Post reminds
us that Justice Brown, on this point,
was well answered by the late Benja-
min Harrison. In the January num-
Der of the North American Review,
General Harrison had an article en-
titled: ''The Status of Annexed Ter.
ritory." In that article he said it was
expressibly absurd hat the ''constitu-
ton does not apply, but all these pro-
visions in it are in full force notwith-
standing"
Then General Harrison said:
1T should be asked further, wheth-
er the rule of uniformity of taxation Is
a part of the law of our civilization
for, without it, all property rights are
protected. The man whose property
may be taxed arbitrarily, without re-
SdIo W LA1bJ n1Chlh CnC bdA us
trict and without any limitation as to
the purposes for which taxes may be
levied. does not own anything; he is a
tenant at will. But if these supposed
laws of civilization are not enforcible
by the courts, and rest whollyfor their
sanction upon the consciences of presi-
dents and congresses, then there is a
very wide difference. The one is own
ership, the other is charity. The one
is freedom; the other slavery-however
just and kind the master may be.
sour fathers were not content with
an assurance of these great rights that
rested wholly upon the ems of justice
and benevolence of the congress. The
man whose protection from wrong
rests wholly upon the benevolence OF
another man or of a congress, is a slave
"a man without rights -.
1t would be interesting to hear what
Benjamin Harrison would have to say
in the presence of such a decision as
was delivered by Justice Brown. When
congress levied the Porto Rican tariff
General Harrison referred to it as "a
serious departure from right princi-
pies" What would he have thought
had he known that the highest court
in the land had solemnly given it's sane
ton to hat serious departure from
right principles?"

DAN DALY's GOLF STORY.
He Hits Upon Stage Jokes Not Made to
Order.

"Stage jokes are rarely made to or
der" said Dan DAILY to a writer in the
New York World. Mine turn up in
all sorts of queer ways. In a barroom
the other night l heard a fellow say
he was going to open a saloon on
Broadway. Who did you ever Whip
asked the bartender. The next night
l worked it into The Girl From Up
There and 1t gets a bigger laugh
than anything else l say. My most sue
cessful stage joke-the golf story
came to me by accident, too. One after
noon while lounging about the Casino
stage 1 picked up a scrap of news
paper that had evidently been used to
wrap up something. In glancing it
over 1 found the golf story, credited
to Exchange l don't ever know what
paper it was, as part Of the page was
torn off. 1t looked like one Of those
patent insides used in small towns.
The odd thing about 1t all was that l
was never allowed to tell the whole
story. You know it goes~on to explain
that after you hit the ball you walk
a mile, and that if you find it the same
day you win. At that point the audi
ence thought the climax had been
reached and laughed. The first time l
tried to finish the story, but nobody
heard me and I never tried it again. 1t
would have been useless. The story
continues that if you don't find the ball
the same day you send your man to
look for it the next, and if he finds 1t,
he wins. After awhile 1 saw that the
audience was right and that the story
really ended better where they insist
ed it should. At first, though, it made
me pretty mad"
