SElF-REllANCE.

Children want, above all, to be taught
self-reliance. Many women pride them
selves greatly on being all in all to their
husbands and children. In such a
woman's house the query is reiterated
all day long, "Where's motherP want
my hat or coat" "Where's mother? l
want to play at something"
And mother comes for the twentieth
time, and does for her husband and
child what no individual could not do
for himself. Women who will act in
this way require their eyes opened to
the wrong they are unknowingly doing.
1t is difficult to tell them, sweet and
gentle as they invariably are, that they
are wearing themselves out in bad
cause; that every time Jacks hat is
found for him, and Mary is provided
with a new game, they are injuring the
child 80 dearly loved.
Women should realize the truth of the
words: "An eager desire to save those
we love, trouble and inconvenience, is
but vicarious qualification of self"

Scald the plums and peel them; cook

cans; or, prick the plums and cook with
skins on till they are tender, but not too
long, for they will continue to cook after
they are in the cans and will fall to
pieces. Take them off just before they
are thoroughly tender.

BELL PARK
Will Be Used for Cotton States
League Ball Park

The baseball grounds of the Pine
Bluff baseball association will be locat-
ed at Bell park. That was definitely
settled at a meeting of the directors
of the association held Saturday at
ternoon at the Office of Austin and
Danaher. Two parks have been under
the consideration of the board-Jones
and Bell-and since the subject was
first preached it has been a matter Of
speculation as to which would be de-
cided upon. Each had it's supporters
and the claims Of each were present
ed to the board. A full membership
of the board was present as follows:
w. H. Langford, A. B. Grace, Simon
Bloom. Tracy Mills, w. D. Hearn. A.
Murray, w. T. Young, H. King White.
The grounds will be located at Bell
park conditionally, but the conditions
will be met on account Of the interest
Involved. The proposition made by
Tie SlllZeuS Lduu lupduy, W IlICI ID
practically the street car company,
was the use of Bell park for five years
without charge, the company to place
the grounds in proper condition. The
conditions upon which the proposition
was accepted was that the grounds
should be placed in a first class con-
dition, including drainage, an enclos.
ure, ETC., by March 10, at the latest.
AS the location of the grounds means
great financial benefit to the street
car company, the conditions will
doubtless be accepted.
