RESOLUTIONS
AUNT JANE.

From the Bryan Literary Society
of Ash Flat, Arkansas.
Whereas, the Great and Su-
preme Ruler of the universe has
in his infinite wisdom removed
from among US one of our worthy
and esteemed fellow -laborers,
Edgar Turner, and whereas, the
long and intimate relations beld
with him in the faithful discharge
OF bis duties in the society, makes
it eminently betting that we re-
cord our appreciation of him,
therefore, resolved, that the wis
dom and ability which he has ex-
ercised in the aid of our organi-
zation by service, c0ntributio0s
and counsel will be held in CRATE
tul remembrance.
Resolved, that the sudden re-
moval of such a lie from our
midst leaves a vacancy and a
shadow that will be deeply re-
allied by all the members and
friends of this organization, and
will prove a serious loss to the
commonwealth and public.
Resolved, that with deep SYM
pathy with the bereaved rela-
tives OF the deceased, we express
our hope that even SO great a
loss to US all may be overruled
for good by Him who doeth all
things well.

Teddy's Good Fortune.

In a speech at Springfield, ILL.,
nois, last week President Roose-
welt said:
LET me say one word. 1t
seems to me eminently fitting
that the guard around the tomb
of Lincoln should be composed of
colored soldiers. 1t was my good
fortune at Santiago to serve be-
side colored troops. A man who
is good enough to shed his blood
for his country is good enough to
be given a square meal after

Have you seen a woman on a street

an air filled %reticule, caress them fond
~ and then kiss them? It's a fact.
Saw one of them on a Pennsylvania
train the other day. says a writer in
the New York Press. Her husband was
with her, but the wee small pets occu-
pied all her attention. The reticule
had little air openings in the sides,
with a rubber tube attachment. through
which occasionally fresh air was blown,
for the day was sultry and wee mousie
might %suffocate. Hubby was util-
tied to blow in the air. Ye gods! He
looked as such a husband might be
considered to be-henpecked and thor
oughly subdued. Occasionally the wo-
man would open the reticule, when the
little white mice would Chamber out
over the top. Is this to be a new fad1

If anything else could be said of the
tax commissions bills than that so many
prominent and learned lawyers differ as
to the constitutfonaiity of these bills,
that ought certainly to be enough to
convince the people that they should
not be trified with on the subject. If
there is amy doubt about the matter, it
is better not to venture ON the untrod-
den path. The better way would be to
learn definitely whether or not they are
constitutional. Until that Is done the
state can not afford to run the risk,
unless it wants to confront confusion
and intricacies that will result in dis
aster and hardship. Only such reforma-
ton of the present laws should be made
which are known to be constitutional
and which have a tendency to compel
every man to pay taxes ON what he is
worth.
