A woman's personality, her airs 4
graces, her little faults and foiss

and if only she were truly as wise as

in like degree to the shaping ct mems
conduct and even their characters,
1t has been said that woman has
only herself to blame or thank for a
mans attitude toward her, and wheth-

less he has taken his cue from her.'
This is putting it b bit too graceful,

Mother Eve, unjust as the old stcry

TWO SONGS.

wv SSiNSS.
Her greeting is a dulcet bell
Lovn'e ..,..>Ak and delight;
H smile is noon, and her farewell
Leads in the stars at night.
She is the sunrise and the CLEAN
Of dew upon the rose,
The vision that evokes the dream,
The song in slumber's prose.
II.
Roses are the rhymes wreathe-
Take them, every one;
Love-the fragrance that you breathe
And your smile their sun.
When the petals fall apart,
Then. in melody,
You shall read a roses heart.
And the heart of me.

THE RIGHT WAY.

Dr. Briant, representative from Homestead county, stopped Jeff Davis the other day when he was speaking at Washington, and called him an in- famous liar. Jeff shut up and said he was not hunting trouble. As usual, he was lying on the legislature, and Dr. Briant wouldn't stand it. As there are hundred members of the legis- lature Jeff will have to go out of the abuse business or take his medicine. Helena World.
 As Dr. Briant did, so ought every self-respecting member of the thirty fourth general assembly do when Jeff Davis presumes to go to their homes and there belle and vilify them. He should be called down, or knocked down, slanderous, lying dog. Ma rianna Courier.

GOVERNOR WAS ALONE.

Referring to the speaking at Ben tonville, the Fort Smith Times says: "Vandeventer in his address said that at another place Davis had declared that when he was in joint discussion with Judge Wood everything passed off pleasantly, but there was always annoyance when Vandeventer was around. Vandeventer remarked that he had met Davis at thirty different places while Judge Wood had met him at but five, and then there were two and half fights. Both Vandeventer and Wood say that they can see that Davis is losing ground, and they each of course think they can see the tide turning in their individual favors. While here Judge Wood and Mr. Van deventer were called upon by num- Der of friends, but Gov. Davis had to go it alone. He had not a single caller while here and walked the streets alone."

PETITION FOR PUBLIC ROAD.
Notice is hereby given that the fol-

Notice is hereby given that the fol-
 lowing petition will be brought up
 in the County Court of Jackson
 County, October Term, 1903.
 To the Hon. J. M. Jones, Judge:
 The undersigned petitioners would respectfully represent that it would be to the interest of the travelling pub lie and the citizens of Village town ship to have a new road established in said township to run as follows, to- wit:
 Beginning at the northeast corner of the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of section 15, township 12 Il, range west, at the public road which runs near said line, and running thence south on the line between the east half of the east half and the west half of the east half of section 15, and the east half of the northeast quarter and the west half of the northeast quarter of section p to the southeast corner of the southwest quarter of the north east quarter of said section 22, thence west on the line between the north east quarter and southeast quarter to the center of section P, thence south on the line between the southeast quarter and the southwest quarter of section 22 and through the center of section 27 to where said line strikes the field known as the Williams field, thence west 220 yards, thence south parallel to the quarter section line to the gate which enters the Williams field about 400 yards from the old Williams residence, thence from said gate along neighborhood road as 1t now runs in southwesterly direction to the public road running from New port to Grubbs.
 They would further represent that there is established along said pro- posed road a rural mail delivery route and we are advised that said route will be discontinued by the United States government unless a public road is established so the mail carrier can travel it without the necessity of going through gates and farms. Wherefore they pray that public road be established along said route and for all proper relief.

RECORD BROKEN
 BY GOULD SPECIAL.
George Gould Comes South From St. Louis in Double Quick Hurry California Special May
 Make This
 Time.
Time.

l All records for fast time between St. Louis and Little Rock were shortened 1 Wednesday by the Gould special
 which darted into the Union station yards at Little Rock at 2:5s. and five minutes later left for Texarkana. Six and one-half hours for the $50 miles from St. Louis to Little Rock and ten hours from St. Louis to Texarkana for the 496 miles is the new record.
 Further time would have been clip ped off this record but for hot box. which developed while the train was on the Missouri division, which neces- sitated some slow running and finally an hours stop.
 The Gould special left St. Louis at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday morning and reached Little Rock at o'clock, sev- en and one half hours having elapsed. Taking out the hours delay the run ming time for the $50 miles was six and one half hours, or about fifty four miles an hour. The 146 miles to Tex arkana was run in a little less than three hours, that city being reached before p. m.
 The fastest regular time between St. Louis and Little Rock is made by the Hot Springs special, which runs during the winter, which makes the distance in ten hours and ten minutes, stopping only for water and coal and change of engines. This is an aver age speed of nearly thirty five miles an hour.
 The running time given includes all stops for water, coal and changing engines.
 The Gould special was in charge of Conductor H. Baldwin of Poplar Bluff. Engineer Austin DeGuire was at the throttle pulling the special from Pop lar Bluff to Texarkana. He resides in Little Rock, at 206 Cross street, and is one of the oldest and most reliable men pulling trains on the Iron Mount ain. Engine No. 707, one of the older fast engines, took the special south from Little Rock. This is one of the regular engines on the Fort Smith road
 The special consisted of four cars, the private car of President Gould, the Atalanta, and the private cars of President Jeffery of the Denver and Rio Grande and Manager Cotter of the Iron Mountain, and dining car.
 It is said that the fast run of the Gould special was forerunner of the time to be made by the California special, which is expected to be put on next month. 1t is believed that this will be the fastest train running be- tween St. Louis and Texarkana.
 The Gould party went into Texas from Texarkana, and on their return trip will come up the Valley road, after inspecting the Memphis, Helena and Louisiana road, now under con- struction.
