Of Teachers Discussed by Act
 ing Examiner w. k. Phillips.
 The regular June examination of applicants for teachers license was held at Berryville on Thurs day and Friday of last week. County Examiner Cooper being absent on 8 visit to relatives in Tennessee, the examination was conducted by W. R. Phillips. The grading of the papers, how ever, will be left over until the re- turn of MT. Cooper, which will be some time within the coming week.
 The number of applicants was somewhat larger than usual, there being thirty present. The fact that no private examinations are being granted any more has caused the teachers to be more punctual on these public ex- animation than heretofore.
 Discussing the examination with THE TRIBUNE editor, MT. Phillips said:
 "Most all of the applicants took the examination for the lower grades. ''True 'tis, 'tis pitty, pity 'tis, 'tis true." But this condition of things will continue as long as there are so many more lucrative positions open to those who ere capable of passing to the higher grades. In our mad rush to the goal of our ambition money making-we see our educational interests about as one sees the point of his shoulder, by looking a little back and slightly downward. The eye is focused on self and a dollar, while the hope of the country is left to the consideration of those, who under this same selfish system, are dwarfed and render ed incapable of holding the minds and hearts of the coming generations.'
 "Tis said that history repeats itself. Let us be careful that we Jo not boun o roorpporoo of tha following: 'They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money. Therefore shall Zion be plowed as field, and Jeru salem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. '''

tpEKA SPRINGS IS QUIET
\ Visitors There, Not Much
 &Idiup G oing on at Present.

|t;ons made in Eureka Springs Friday of last week may not be |uninteresting matter for many TRIBUNE readers.
 The city not enjoying a big rusb of visitors at this particular time. In fact, the season seems to be dull and there is not much hope for such crowds as common 5y spend the heated term there, kbis season, for the reason that 'the Worlds Fair is occupying the Intention of many tourists and the special excursion feature has been cut out by the Frisco, owing to the volume of business occa . stoned by the great fair.
 There are fewer evidences of Improvement now going on in the city than has been apparent at any time during recent years. The only building of consequence how in progress is the massive Duncan Hotel structure adjoin- ing the Basin Spring reservation and the outside work on it is about finished. It will not be made ready for occupancy dur ing the present year.
 Eureka Springs people had iust learned of the fact that Green Forest had captured one bf their best citizen in the person bf George West and the feeling bf surprise and deep regret were both expressed by many.
 Capt. Hawley is still keeping the closest kind of tab on the growth and development of this section of the country and his enthusiasm on the possibilities have not receded one bit. He has long list of farms of this eection which he made some Fight or ten years ago. He wrote Fhort descriptions, giving names bf the owners and what the land fould be bought for. He has fince recorded on the same leaves the sale of several of these tracts hnd in every instance he has hoted that the land has sold for B greatly advanced price over what it was listed at when his record was made. For instance, he had w. c. Ovens farm on his ist, offered for sale at SIS per Pcre. The place sold last week or S2O per acre, or S1 300 more han was then asked for it, and he place could probably not be bought now for 5000 on top of hat.
 Eureka Springs is exceedingly lull when some one cannot be ound who is willing to discuss ne political situation on cam laign years. The democrats, for ne most part, are now resting peacefully so far as appearances Ire concerned, but there are sev- ral republicans who are busy fgurlng on the situation and who eem to think there is a chance pr two or three good men on the epublican ticket. There seems n be strong disposi tion to at

Some Sage Advice For Wives.

Don't make the evening repest "a
confessional for household troubles.
Your husband has troubles of his own.
You may be one of them.
Don't be the last to acknowledge his
merits. Men love flattery as women do
finery.
Don't wear a chip on your shoulder.
An ounce of forgiveness is worth a
pound of pride. Give it. You can have
your way when he is not looking.
Don't be ashamed to proclaim your
love for him. Tell him often, and de-
mand a response. 1t gives him some
thing to think about.
Don't cook unless you know how.
When his digestion goes, reform adj
ministration is dead.
Don't ask him for money; make him
offer it. You know the way. If you do
not, you should. Something in mans
constitutional makeup rebels When he
is asked to part with his money. Men
shirk the things that are expected of
them; but they will give freely of
time, money. and labor when accredited
with not only the thing done, but the
impulse that prompts it. Men are
generous enough. but they like large
