ma woman Newspaper OF ParIs.

A copy Of n curious newspaper has
been found in the French national ar.
chives. 1t is dated January 4, 1903,
and is called "L'Athonee des Danes"
The articles are evidently written by
women, and the object Of the paper
seems to be an attempt to place women
on an equal footing with men. The
feminine pioneers Of 1908 were evi.
IDENTIFY nearly a hundred years ahead
Of their times. "La Fronde,' the Pari-
sian newspaper, printed and published
by women, is now in its third year,
and appears to be successful, while
only one copy Of "L'Athenee des
Danes" is to be found.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Influence is immortal.

Influence is immortal.
Cheap success is ever too dear.
There is no gain without giving.
Fast living Is really but slow dying.
Benefcence is better than beneyol-
ence
Ease ensues only from earnest en-
deavor,
Love is a conviction that supersedes
the senses.
The runaway tongue raises the dust
Of scandal
Regret cannot bring the arrow back
to the bow
What is morally wrong can never be
politically right
Often he who most fears life is least
afraid of death.
He who is seeking comfort cannot
win the conflict.
A diamond must remain dirt if it be
not willing to lose half itself.
When a man turns the light on otE-
ers he must not expect to stay in the
shade himself.
If men were as anxious to do right
as they are to get their rights the
world would be righted.
The man who seeks 10 pillow on
popular applause finds it hard TO sleep
for fear the bubble will burst Rams

A Sister of the World.

It was on Fifth avenue. A sister Of
charity, with a long black veil and a
seraphic expression, was gliding
along the street with the swift, silent
tread peculiar to the soft-shod sister
hood She looked neither to the right
nor left, and her face was one Of Sc
rene peace, of almost celestial calm.
A frovsy boy with a bundle Of dirty
newspapers under his arm appealed
to her, first to buy a paper, then to
give him money to get something to
eat" He was a well-fed-looking boy,
with 4 sleepy face. The sister glanced
at him, shook her head and walked on
The boy pattered beside her, whimper-
ing a tale OF woe in n whining voice
As they neared the corner the sister
turned her seraphic face toward him
for an instant, and in the softest voice.
with an expression OF wondering soc-
row, she said:
And l suppose you lost all your
money playing craps
Then, as the startled boy fell back,
she glided silently on her way.-NcY

A Woman saddler.

1t is more than likely that the only
woman saddler in America is a Ger
man woman, who carries on her trade
in Florida. Her husband was a sad
dler and harness-maker, with n shop
beside the little house in which they
lived. He never made money, but the
two lived frugally and contentedly un-
ill his death. Then there was trouble.
The widow owned a small place, but
had no money to live upon, and the
sum to be procured by selling the shop
would not count for much SO she de-
termined to continue her husbands
business on her own account, retaining
his apprentice. In course of time she
mastered the trade and built up a
hourishing business, long ago acquir-
ing much larger banl, account than
her husband had ever dreamed OF &C,

Art Takes Up the Seal.

There are all sorts Of inventions in
ornamental shapes for seals, which
will probably be ready for use by~fall.
There Is nothing individual in the seal
itself nowadays. Sealing wax is too
useless, and sealing a letter takes
TOO much time for the ordinary busy
woman, whether her work is in bust
ness or society. 1t was in the days
when sealing letter was a necessity
that people had quaint little individual
notices and designs carved upon their
ueals. The up-to.date woman, when
she uses a seal at all, will have some
simple design-her monogram, crest,
If she has One-upon her seal, and It
will agree with the monogram or crest
upon her Letter paper.
That is all very plain and simple,
but the handle and ornamental part of
the seal is becoming more elaborate.
The reason for this is that people who
have no desire to seal their letters will
buy q seal which has an attractive ap-
pearance as an ornament to the writ
ing desk, whether it is ever used or
not 1t is on this account, rumor says,
that "rart nouyeau" is appearing upon
the seal handles in many designs. The
material for most Of these is bronze
the Vienna bronze, which has many
beautiful SHADES in green shadows, and
the French bronze, which has purple
tints.
The designs will be in lotus flower
bedecked damsels, the Cleopatras and
willowly, wind-blown maldens Of va
rious kinds made up according to the
new art standards, which are most Of
them exceedingly good. - New York

New Ideas For summer curtains.

new lucas TOT sum mer Curtains
The latest idea for dwarf blinds is
to paint across the fine canvas eta
mine or even silk foundation a few
bold sprlgs or trails. A good opportu-
nifty is here given to the ingenuity,
symbolical knowledge and private
taste Of the home worker, who can
bring any amount of originality to
bear on depicting the blossoms Of the
month, of the nation, the favorites Of
the mistress of the house, or again re-
calling her guests or her own name,
and harmonzing with the decoration
of rooms. In a different style of trim
ming for these blinds de luxe lace
squares in old-fashioned guipure dart
are introduced, a whim which sug-
gests to needlewomen the advisability
Of inserting likewise some Of the
meshy squares in the linen or satin Of
cushion, table 'covers, curtains, bed
spreads, alone or in combination with
drawn work medallions. Stencil STAIN

A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.

At a supper given by the col ored brethren of McCrory on the night of the 18th while in stalling the officers in the Knights of Tabor, several of the bucks partook too freely of the amber fluid and really interest ing matinee took place. They became suddenly possessed of the idea that things could be run pretty well to suit themselves and for a while took complete possession of the whole affair. The older heads who tried to carry things on in a decent and respectable manner had to re- sort to the town marshal.
 There were no razors flying in the air but a goodly display of slugging and use of obscene lit erature" was in evidence, and for few moments the stenchy interior was filled with invec- tives that bore on their sulphu- rons wings every adumbration of their wicked hearts. The bucks certainly befouled their mouths with billingsgate and were still nnder good headway when Marshal Stafford arrived on the scene.a From what we learn of the language used by the bucks, it must have been very disgraceful.
 McCauley wrote of Bertrand Barere, the Anacreon of the guilotine, that "when we put everything together, poltroonery. baseness, effrontery, mendacity, barbarity, the result is some thing which in novel we should as caricature, and to which we venture to say, no par

No man in the community does more for the public and re- ceives less for it than the .coun- try editor," said Senator H. Clay Heather, of Pamyra, Marion county, in the Missouri state senate, when the bill reducing the price for publishing the Aus tralian ballot was under consid- eration, If all the space he em- ploys in booming the town, in helping individuals, in making statesmen-so sometimes out of pretty raw material-were paid for, at even half the legal rate, he would be the richest man in the country. Few country editors are rich, but they are of more service to the community where they live than the wealthiest men. They are the forefront of every movement for progress. They do the work and leave the to others. A good, clean, honest country newspaper

A LETTER FROM snARcY.

We received a communication from our friend who is now at Searcy a few days since. Itwas crowded out of our last issue but we take pleasure presenting it to our readers in this issue.
 SEARCY ARK, May IA, 1901. DEAR EDITOR: It occurring to my mind that my friends at McCrory and elsewhere might think that 1 had either been lost, strayed or stolen, I knew of no better method of satisfying the desires of my friends as to my whereabouts than through the columns of the News.
 We'll I have not been stolen, neither am I lost, but somewhat strayed.
 We'll, MT. Editor, I reached that land on the other side of the river that bears the name so many of the human family idol ize, (Cache). Yes, 1 reached that land and to my utter astonish- ment I found it far worse than the place where my friend MT. A. and myself picked the turnip greens. The place where the giggle, and chatter of the voices of about dozen sweet females were heard. x x x x We'll, Mir. Editor we have continued to stray until we have wandered over to Judsonia, nice town, full of enterprising business men. We have wandered on down until we find ourselves at Searcy, one of the best towns in eastern Arkansas. We find a great number of good people here who at one time resided in or near McCrory. Among whom are Mrs. A. Montgomery, who has made host of friends here. Rev. H. c. Toombs and his interesting family. Rev. N. B. Gardner, who is a gentleman of unpretentious manners.
 White county has the wrong name, it should have been called Florida from the abundance of fine flowers that are grown here. This county has three natural productions that are noticeable, i. e., rocks, hills and good water. The latter is very much appre- ciated by one who has been drinking mean pump water in Woodruff county for the past five or six months. There is an- other production here which is abundant but for our lives we don't know whether to call it a natural, or an artificial, or an agricultural productions We will tell you what the production is, it is pretty women. Now MT. Editor classify it for us won't you, please.

 Furl that Banner, for 'tiS weary; Round it's staff 'tis dropping dreary;
 Furl it, fold it, it is best: For there's not man to wave it, And there's not soul to save it, And there's not one left to lave it In the blood which heroes gave it; And its foes now scorn and brave it:
 Furl it, hide it--let it resti Take that Banner down. 'tis tattered; Broken is it's staff and shattered; And the valiant hosts are scattered
 Over whom it fioated high. Oh! 'tis hard for us to fold it; Hard to think there's none to hold it; Hard that those who once unrolled it
 Now must furl it with sigh Furl that Banner furl it sadly! Once ten thousands hailed it gladly. And ten thousands wildly. madly,
 Swore it should forever wave; Swore that foeman's sword should never Hearts like theirs entwined discover, Till that flag should float forever Der their freedom or their gravel Fur1 itI for the hands that grasped it, And the hearts that fondly clasped it.
 Cold and dead are lying low: And that Banner-it is trailing While around it sounds the waiiing

 Though it's folds are in the dust: For It's fame on brightest pages. Penned by poets and by sages. Shall go sounding down the ages
 Furl its folds though now we must. Furl that Banner, softly. slowly! Treat it gently-it is holy
 For it droops above the dead Touch it not-unfold it never, Let it droop there, furled forever.
 For it's peoples hopes are dead!
