= Prima Facie Evidence.

An English lord of the manor was
returning home night, when he
found a country pumpkin standing
by the kitchen door with a lantern in
his hand.
"What are you doing hereg" the
lord asked, roughly.
GIVE come ~a-coortin', SIR" was the
reply.
"A-courtin? What do you mean
by that?"
"T'm a follower o Mary,the kitchen
maid"
"Is it your habit to carry a Ian
tern when you are on such errands 2"
eyes, sir"
"Nonsense!" retorted the master,
angrily. Don't talk such stuff to
me! BE off with yourself! Counting
with u lantern! When I was young
l never used such a thing"
"Nor, SIR" said the yokel, moving
rapidly away. "Judgin' by the mis-
sus, I shouldn't think ye did"

Il CHANGING YEAR
September, a Month of Inspiration and
Invigorating Outdoor Life.

Behold September! Tripping from
the hills she comes and lol the mys--
tic spell of August's weaving breaks
at her touch. Incidence fees to the
mistress who has gone before, and
the languor and lassitude and lazy
contentment of midsummer gives
way to a quickening of vital forces
and the inspiration of endeavor. Fair
September? Not the wealth of floral
tribute of her sister months doth she
bring, but of the fulness of the har-
vest doth she scatter on every side.
Sere and yellow leaves futter from
the trees; they are her pledges in
gold that there is no death, and April
shall redeem them. The hills robe
themselves in purple in the twilight
hour and the air is vibrant with the
plant that "Katy did" and "Katy
didn't" Once more the feathered
hosts fill copse and grove and garden
shrubbery, and if there be a new
note, a minor chord, not present in
their songs of the spring, therein is
the promise that they go but for a
little while. The clear air has in it
a tonic which sets the rich blood to
racing gloriously and fills with the
desire of accomplishment the vigor
which seeks expression in the worlds
work. It is the month of inspira-
tlon.-Country Life In America.

err than her words: '"There is now
nothing for me but to wait, and l
want-to 60"
There is a ~quivering of the eyellds'
lips and chin, the still signs OF woe
that no light can chase away until
the dawn of the blessed, radiant
morning when she shall meet her be-
loved. Her faith that the loved, I'M
seen. are not lost, is perfect. Her
intense consciousness that she is on
" waiting is the WEAKNESS unto
death.
It is the habit of Mrs. Mckinley
to 90 to the cemetery, where her
heart and her interests are, for daily
devotion. She has frequently driven
over her accustomed route twice a
day. A trained nurse is constantly
with her sitting by her side, unless
some near friend is given the place.
and then the nurse sits with the
driver.
In all the tragedies of the stage
there is no scene more sorrowfu or
dramatic situation more striking and
painful than Mrs. Mckinley at the
coffin of her husband. As placed 1t
rests on a direct line with the open
gates. The outlook is eastward. A
sentinel walks there in the uniform
of the Army of the United States
"Glory guards with solemn round"
The widow walks. to the head of the
casket that rises on its supports from
the stone floor, draped SO that the
colors of the flag glow through the
other" decoration. No persuasion can
cause the mourner to cease from
weeping-leaning upon and bowed
over the e~vergreens, the palmsafeW
fresh flowers and the flag, weeping
bitterly, lamentably, without re-
straint-until she summons resolu-
ton and totters away, fearful and
sobbing, sinks into her carriage and
falters to the old home.-From an
article by Murat Halstead in the
Saturday Evening Post, September

Mrs. mckinley as She is To-day.

Kinley. Her slender form / black
and pale face, may be seen nearly
every day, and sometimes twice a
day, in a heavy dark carriage drawn
by a pair of black horses, an equip
age of dignity and comfort without
display, going to and from the Nc
-Kinley home to the receiving sepul-
chre where the casket that contains
the remains of her husband is guard
ed under the flag, and palms, and
flowers. The cemetery is extensive
and well kept, beautifully situated, a
charming grove, grassy and shady
with pleasing roads and paths, and
many memorials that CLEAN in the
shadows or glitter in the sun.
Next to the temporary tomb pro-
tected by a detachment of regulars
commanded by a lieutenant of the
regular army from Alabama, the spot
of greatest distinction is that des-
tined to be the resting-place of the
illustrious Chief Magistrate. The
elevation chosen is a gradual slope
of transformations but commanding
conspicuity, overlooking a city of
homes and land of plenty, where the
utilities blend with the beauties. This
is as fit as that the tomb of Wash
ington is beside the august Potomac;
that Lincoln should rest in the land
of Lincoln, the broad plains and
bright rivers of Illinois around him;
that Grants matchless monument
should preside over the riverside of
the historic and legendary Hudson;
that the writer of the Declaration of
independence should be uplifted in
his everlasting sleep upon a noun
tain top of Virginia.
The walls of the parlor and sitting
room of Mrs. McKinley's home are
decorated with many likenesses of
President Mckinley, and the pale
lady in black dwells with them in the
past. The face of her husband is
ever before her. She has ~preferen-
ces and dislikes among his ~likenesses.
One rather grave and deep-lined face
does not please her, and she says of
it, "My husband never wore a scowl
like that-it is not a likeness" It
is, however, a work of art of high
grade. She did not tolerate the sug-
gestion that perhaps sometimes when
she was not present he had the look
she dislikes in a portrait. Her dis
| position of that suggestion was, Gle
never looked like that" The artist
did idealize-and did not improve,
She inclines to favor the more youth
full pictures of the President. One
she cares for has been engraved fol-
the new ten-dollar bills, but it is not
the President the people knew so well
in the later years.
It has been said in zeal without
knowledge that Mrs. Mckinley has
borne up wonderfully well under he1
frightful trial, and is in better
health than before the tragedy. L
is not true. It is worth while that

Shoot from their glorious spheres,

Dark, stern, all-pitiless, and pauses

To sit and muse, like other con-

THE HOME CIRCLE
The Closing Year. "

~S
IT'S midnight's holy hour, and silence
now
Is brooding like a gentle spirit. DER
DER
The still and pulseless world. Harkl
on the winds
The BELLS deep tones are swelling
It's the knell
Of the departed year. No funeral
train
Is sweeping past; yet, on the stream
and wood,
With melancholy light, the moon
beams rest
Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air
is stirred
As by a mourner's sigh; and on yon
cloud
That floats so still and placidly
through heaven,
The spirits of the seasons seem to
stand,-
Young Spring, bright Summer, Au-
tumn's solemn form,
And Winter with his aged locks,-
and breathe,
In m~ournful cadences that come
abroad
Like the far Wind-harp's wild and
touching wall,
A melancholy dirge DER the dead
year,
Gone from the earth forever.
IT'S a time
For memory and for tears. Within
the deep,
Still chambers of the heart, a spec
ire dim,
Whose tones are like the wizard
voice of Time
Heard from the tomb of ages, points
its cold
And solemn finger to the beautiful
And holy visions that have passed
away
And left nc shadow of their lowell
On the dead waste of life. That spec
tire lifts
The cofin-lid of Hope, and Joy, and
Love,
And, bending mournfuIly above the
pale,
Sweet forms that slumber there,
scatters dead flowers
Ger what has passed to n~othingness.
The year
Has gone, and, with it, many a glo-
riOus throng
Of happy dreams. Its mark is on

It's shadow in each heart. In its swift

The bright and ioyous,-and the
fearful wall
Of stricken ones is heard where erst

And reckless shout resounded

Flashed in the light of midday, and

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Street Fight at Parkdale.

Three men were wounded in a shooting affray at Parkdale. It seems that Frank Barnes was little boiSterous on the streets and Depu- ty Sheriff Atkins was asked to ar rest him. G. P. George volunteer ed to assist Atkins in the arrest. Atkins procured a shotgun from one of the stores, proceeded down the street to await the coming of Barnes. As Barnes was passing up the street George caught his horse by the bri- de and pulled a revolver, when both began firing. George emptied his revolver, missing every shot. Barnes only having three loads, fired at George twice, one bullet taking ef- feet in his leg. Then seeing that Atkins was about to shoot with a shotgun he fired at him and Atkins fell to the ground, his gun being dis charged in the air without damage After emptying the gun at George and Atkins, he threw his empty gur at George. George also threw his empty gun at Barnes. Robert Norwood, a relative of George, ther carried another shotgun to Atkins and he fired at Barnes, the load tax ing effect in his shoulder Barne
 having no more ammunition, ha( wheeled his horse to get out of tn way and was shot in the back.

Verdict Against Railroad.

The jury in the damage suit of the Wolf-Goldman Mercantile Com pany against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad Company, growing out of the com press fire at Newport April f, 1900, when 2,768 bales of cotton were de- stroytd, gave a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for $124,000. The real plaintiffs in the suit are not only Wolff-Goldman Mercantile Company, but seven or eight insur- ance companies, who carried the risks upon the cotton destroyed. The petition of the plaintiffs alleges that sparks from engines on the Iron Mountain set fire to the Best feed and livery barn, in which in turn set afire the compress property. The Lesser Cotton Company prose cuted a similar claim in the federal court against the Iron Mountain for losses sustained in this fire, the case having been tried at Little Rock last spring, but was decided against the plaintiff.

Profitable W eddings.

What is known as the "pay wed. ding" is popular in Germany. The bride receives the guests with basin set before her, and into this each wis., itor entering the reception-room drops either some jewelry, a silver spoon, or a piece of money, In some parts of the country the expenses of the marriage feast are met by each guest paying for what he or she may eat and drink. Some visitors pay high prices, and the happy couple make a handsome profit out of their wedding, as many as 300 guests often being present at such festival.

Three Dead.

Martin Davis and Jeff Davis, col ored, who were cousins, living near Wilmot, quarreled over the owner ship of some land, when both pulled guns and opened fire. When the smoke cleared away they were both dead. It seems that one Jim Thompson was a friend to one of the parties in the shooting, and it s supposed that he took hand in the shooting. Thompson went to Wilmot for a coffin, when Arthur Davis, father of one of the dead men. met him in a store and shot him dead.
