Rules For Preserving Life.

pr. D. K. Pearsons, the Chica- go philanthropist, when celebrat- ing his eightieth birthday gave these rules for long life:
 No pies or cakes; no pains or aches.
 Most men dig their graves with their teeth.
 If you overwork your liver, it will soon tell on your brain.
 Live like a farmer and you will live like a prince.
 Men can live ten days without eating. They can't live without pure air five minutes.
 Don't get angry and don't get excited. Every time you fretyou lose a minute of your life.
 Let man abuse his stomach, and he'll get fidgety and cross to his family.
 Doctors say don't sleep on a full stomach. 1 take my after dinner nap just the same and Pm 80 years old. You can't believe all the doctors say.
 If you catch 8 cold, lose your quinine and eat an onion.
 Give away your money. It's collaborating and tends to longev- ity
 The idea of giving while one is alive will become epidemic as soon as men discover what fun 1t is.

 Rev. z. T. Eaton and family are making preparations to move back to Missouri. Rev. Dow, of Pierce City, has bought the half interest of Rev. Sam Eaton in the Messenger printing plant, and has offered nice rooms in the Pieace City College free Of charge. Rev. Roddy, who has been editor of the Messenger since it's origin, will remain in charge, but the change makes it more convenient for the remain ing two editors. Then, too, Mr. Eaton will be nearer to his pas torial work in Cassville. The people in Eureka Springs are sorry indeed to lose this esti- mable family, who have been in the front ranks in every good work since their arrival. Miss Ella Eaton has been employed a part of each week in the Flash light office, where her genial pres ence and efficient work will be missed. We wish them success in their new home.

itself practically if the trade is great enough. You might as well cut a vine off above the ground and undertake to make it grow as to try to boom a town that has no country to feed it.
 As proof of the profit that lies in the production of fruits in this country, one has only to note what is being done on the Frisco Line in our neighbor counties of Benton and Washington, where the apple, peach and berry crops net hundreds of thousands of dol lars to the producers every year; and it,is fact that our adaptation to the growth of fruits and berries even excels those counties, as the soil is stronger and the land often lies in better shape for an orchard than it does in the counties men, toned.
 H. Y. King of Rogers, Benton county, who owns and operates the cold storage plant at that place, was in Green Forest first of the week, and from him we se- cured the following conservative estimate of what will be realized by the fruit growers of Benton county out of their crops this year. Mr. King handles probably more fruit than any other man in Ben- ton county and is as nearly pre- pared to give correct statement about the business in Benton county as any man in the county. Mr. King says there will be not less than 1000 car loads of apples to ship out of Benton this year. There are 160 barrels to the car. He says that a dollar barrel is a low estimate-he sold last year for S1 50. Thus, it will be seen that S160,000 is pretty certain to be realized out of this years ap- pie crop. But that is not all. The farmers of Benton county, he says, have already realized, i'll round numbers, S25, ,OOO out of the strawberry crop this year, and that they have no less than S70,- 900 coming out of their peach crop. This places an estimate to the Benton county farmers this year of more than a quarter of million dollars to be realized out of fruit alone, and MT. King thinks that it is more likely to be more than it is to be less than that sum. Nor is that all. Mr. King says that the poultry in dustry of Benton county is bring ing the farmers lots of money and thousands on top of thous- ands of dollars is made in the raising of stock. He says that the poultry business goes on from one end of the year to the other, and while he had no figures upon which to base an estimate, he declares that S20O, 900 is not over- drawing the profits for one year in poultry alone.
 What Benton county farmers can do, can be duplic ated by those of Carroll county in every in- stance. Will they ever do it?

PICNIC WAS A SUCCESS.
Children's Day Exercises Last
 Wednesday, Well Attended.


 Wednesday Well Attended.
 Notwithstanding the intensely hot, dry and dusty weather, the Children's Day Picnic in Green Forest was well attended and un- der the circumstance THE TRIB- UNE pronounces it a splendid success.
 No one would ever thought of trying to pull off big to do here, knowing that the conditions of the weather would be as unfavor- able to such occasions as that which prevailed on Wednesday.
 This gathering was planned fully two months ago, but owing to the delay in a report from the railroad company relative to ex- cursion rates and other accomo- dations for the day, it was not definitely decided to have a pie nic until about three weeks ago. When the answer came as to rates, the prevailing drought had had the effect of disheartening our people to the extent that they all reluctantly took hold of the matter, and it would have been no great surprise to THE TRIBUNE if the gathering Wednesday had fallen far short of the success which attended it. In this con- nection, too, it might be said that the weather has been against Green Forest people in every ef- fort at a picnic for about four years. It seems that unfortunate conditions are destined to rob us of the excellent reputation the people of our town and commun- ity have enjoyed for many years as entertainers on such occasions.
 The only mar in the arrange ments for the program for We'd nesday was occasioned by the delay in the arrival of the train which brought the visitors from the west. It was due to arrive at $50, but by special arrangement it went up the Berryville loop to accommodate the people of that town who desired to come and it was about 11:30 before it arrived. As it was not intended that the exercises should commence until the visitors had arrived from both directions on the trains, it was almost noon before the exercises by the children commenced, and in order to give ample time to the invited speakers in the afternoon, the children's part of the pro- gram was necessarily cut short.
 In the afternoon speeches were made by Congressman Hugh A. Dinsmore and Judge E. G. Mitch ell of Harrison. These speeches were master efforts. We doubt if more able addresses were ever made before on any occasion i'll our town. They were both full of scientific thought and would have been creditable efforts from any rOStrum Tn the state.
 There were some 1900 or 1500 people present, about half of whom came from other points on the railroad. There were in the neighborhood of 300 from Berry vile, about 100 from Alpena, and probably more than that number from each Eureka Springs and Harrison.
 The crowd was orderly and we'll behaved and it seemed that everybody enjoyed themselves.
 The Green Forest Band was much in evidence with good music throughout the day, and many were the compliments pass ed upon the boys. Green Forest has many reasons to be proud of her excellent band.

Tax Law Ruling.

In response to queries pro- pounded by Assessor W. A. Cole, of Crawford county, Attorney General Murphy has given out the following unofficial opinion regarding features of the taxation laws:
 The tax list of the property owner, giving his estimate of the value of taxable property is not binding upon you. It is a mere aid to you to make the assessment. If he estimates the value too low it is your duty to assess it at it's true value according to your best judgement. A fair estimate ac- cording to reasonable value is what the law demands. In this way only can taxation be equal.
 Note given for rent of land are subject to taxation.
 Mercantile corporations are re- quired to enlist their entire stock of merchandise at it's fair value, as other merchants.
 Merchants in the assessment of their goods have no right to de- duct what they may owe.
 You speak of a merchant who owns cotton, about 2,000 bales. It is your duty to assess it not withstanding he may have bor- rowed the money with which he bought it.
 All property of telephone com- panies in your county should be assessed by you.
 The real and personal property of telegraph companies within your county excepting their lines, should be assessed by you. This means, of course, the real prop erty they own, and their office fixtures, furniture, etc., in your county.
 The clipping containing a state- ment of the Alabama decision you enclosed would not apply under the laws of this state. The de- pots, etc., of the railroad compan- ies in our state are made the sub- ject of taxation by the railroad commissioners, the governor, auditor and secretary of state. You would not therefore be authorized to assess them.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incur able. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O., is the only con- stitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address

KINDERGARTEN WORK.
Report Of What Has Been Accom-
plisned During the Year.

plisned During the Year.
The annpal meeting of the Free Kind
ergarten and Children's Aid Association
was held yesterday in the Y NJ. c. A.
hall. The reports showed a deficit of
$1,000; fourteen kindergartens, five here,
and 81" children taught. There are TWEEN
ty-one women In the training school.
Among the reports was the following
from Mrs. T. F. Tarbel, upon the trans
formation in neighborhood by the in
fiuence of a kindergarten:
+ The Miller Street kindergarten has
been especially fortunate in that most
of the people who send their children
TO 1t own their homes, SO there is no
moving away, and the children come for
two years and sometimes longer. When
they leave their places are taken by
younger sisters or brothers. So the in
huence in the home can be watched.
Inc other kindergartens may do as much
or more for their children, but as they
are drawn from a more or less unsettled
population, the results are not as appar-
ent.
In the spring of 1893 Mrs. Soares
gathered around her a few of the little
ms - Jill AAlG SlOpGS VI Z uIlGlDO"l. 4Hty
occupied part of a room in the building
donated by Mrs. Rice.
The following September Miss Fernan-
des, of Illinois, was asked to come and
assist her sister in the work.
For the first year there was an enroll
ment of forty chilren. They came from
families connected with the church, but
the Catholic neighbors gradually began
sending their children.
While some of the children were clean
and well cared for, others We're in neg
lected condition, improperly fed and
clothed, were unkind and disobedient,
and helped themselves freely to each
others lunches. The kindergarten ma
terial had to be watched very carefully
or It would get into little pockets.
Most of the faults of the children were
due to ignorance and lack of time on the
mothers part, and not to vicious natures
or teachings at home. They stole be-
cause they knew not the rights of owner
ship, or be 'use they were poorly noUr-

ished. When given things they. could
call their own and taught that the ma
terial belonged to the kindergaT ten for
all to- enjoy, the trouble soon ceased.
In 1885 the room could not accommodate
the children, and though DR.. Hyde's in
'fiuence q much larger room in the ad-
joining yard was transformed into q
kindergarten.
In 1897 the room was so full that tables
and chairs were taken out under tree
where part of the children were taught.
The demand for admission was con-
stantly increasing, larger building was
needed. Mr.. Atherton learned of our
need, and donated $1,000 for a new build
ing. To have everything completed for
the day OF dedication, several members
of the association spent the greater part
of a morning painting benches and tubs.
The neighboring fence was lined with
cage Portuguese women, witnessing the
process with much interest. Within two
weeks nearly every house In the neigh
borhood was whitewashed and finger
spotted doors painted, SO quickly did the
new building radiate it's influence.
When the new rooms were opened after
a vacation of eight weeks, there was
marked Improvement in the condition OF
the children.
New clothes were made to wear to the
new kindergarten.
The children took much interest in our
New Years present from Mr.. Atherton,
the new piano. and wanted to keep it
clean, considering it an honor to be al
lowed to dust it every morning. Its beau
ty was enough to inspire them to keep
little fingers away, for there was abso-
lutely no trouble with meddling, as there
had teen with the old piano.
Through mothers meetings and visits,
the mothers have become attentive and
anxious to learn. Many have changed
their children's diet.
We find the children obedient, kind and
honest. One little boy who two years ago
carried home kindergarten material, last
year watched and helped his little sis
ter to be honest.
In all last year not an attempt was
made to carry home kindergarten ma
terial. Such thing as a stolen lunch is
not heard of.
Who can estimate the value of kind
ergarten In neighborhood?
Who can tell the good it has done? The
happiness it has brought to seven hun
dred and twelve little lives who have en-
joyed its influence during the eight years
since it was first opened? Eight years IN
which the good seed has been sown in
good soil. Society will surely reap a
glorious harvest.
