themselves looking at her more than

Our Zinc Mines.

In all interview with a Washing ton, D. C., reporter Benjamin Kel- Ter, of Lafayette, speaks enthusias- tically of the prospect for the devel- opment of the mineral resources of this state. '"The zine mines of Ar kansas" said MT. Keller, ''have been among the best paying industries of the state of Arkansas for many years past and the recent discover les of gold and copper will have the effect of greatly increasing the value of the mineral output of the state As l understand 1t, and I have re- ceived my information from one of the mine owners, the ore that is be- ing mined will yield $10 per ton in gold and about the same in copper. Of course, this is not a great yield, but as it will only cost about $1.25 per ton to mine the ore, it can read ily be seen that the mines will pay. It seems that the discovery of the value of the ore was made in this city. A quantity was sent to one of the mine owners who resides here, and for some reason or other he took piece of the rock to an assaycr. The discovery of gold was made during the test, and since then fab ulous prices have been offered for some of the zinc mines One man, who paid $25,o00 for piece of mining land only a few months ago, was offered $250,O0O for it just a few days after. The mines are all controlled by rich corporations, how ever, and it is not probable that there will be any rush to uncover new Klondikes by penniless miners and prospectors."

The Oldest Citizen.

Independence county claims to have the oldest citizen in the state. His name is Uncle Billy Hooper, who was born January 16, 1894, and is now in his 99th year. He has been in Independence county longer than the oldest settler can remember. He was a chain carrier when that country was being sec tionized. He was resident of Bates vile in 1914, when, in that year, he made trip to Little Rock on horseback, taking a large sum of money with him from the land office at Batesville to Little Rock, wear ing his coon-skin cap and coat and taking along his long range, flint lock rife. At that time there were only three houses between Batesville and Little Rock.

NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
At Least Most Victims of Misfortunes
 Think They Never Have.

Probably nine out of ten men past middle life, if asked how it happens that they are to-day only barely earn ing their living, would tell you that they 'never had chance,' says o. $. Warden, in Success, that they were kept back, that circumstances were against them, that they had no op- portunities, such as other boys around them had, or that they did not have the proper schooling, or else plead some similar excuse.
 The probabilities are that oppor- tunity did visit every one of these men more than once in their youth or early manhood, but that they did not.see that all good chances consisted in do- ing everything they undertook cheer fully, promptly and just as well as it could be done.
 As boys they did not look upon ev cry errand as chance to be polite, prompt, energetic; on every lesson in school as foundation stone in their success-structure. They did not not think that the demoralizing hours of indolence and shiftlessness which they were weaving into the web of their lives would mar the fabric for ever, and reproach them through all time. They did not realize that the impudent reply to their employer, the carelessness and indifference which they slipped into their tasks, would come out as ghosts, in the fu- ture, to mar their happiness and sue cess. They looked upon every duty shirked, the minutes they cut off from each end of day, as so much gain. They did not realize that these things, which seemed so innocent, would grow into giant defects which would mar their future success.
 They did not think that their slip shod methods, their careless attire, and their aggressive manners; would lie as great bars across the path of their future success, and keep them back from the goal of their ambitions.
 They do not think that all these things were the real causes of their being fixtures at salaries f$1O or $15 a week.
 They did not think that these seem- ing trities in youth would doom them to be perpetual janitors, clerks, or farm hands, and that it would be al- most impossible in maturity to out grow the defects of their youth.
