work mainly with their head; when
their daily duties are over the brain
is often exhausted and Of their leisure
time much must be devoted to air and
exercise. The laborer and mechanic,
on the contrary, besides working often
for much shorter hours, have in their
worktime taken sufficient bodily eX-
ercise, and could, therefore, give any
leisure they might have to reading and
study" If the observation is true in
England, it is especially true in this
country, where thinking is less tram
meled by class and tradition. In
deed, the prophecy Of Sir John is in
a large way to be realized in this
country in this generation. American
workingmen are well informed. They
read and think. They invent machines.
And they are able to hold their own in
any discussion of current themes. Es-
pecially Is this true of skilled work
ingmen and those who exercise their
thinking in the trades unions. And
the farmers. Much of the straight
thinking Of this generation is being
done by the farmers. Conditions on the
farm are favorable to consecutive and
sound reasoning. The farmer has time
for deliberate, long look at things.
He has time to walk entirely round a
proposition and view it from all sides.
His conclusions are usually sane. In
fact, If Sir John Lubbock will examine
our history he will discover that our
working classes' have always be-
longed to our thinking classes"

WEATHER FAVORABLE
 FOR PLANTED CROPS.
Cotton Planting Has Progressed Rapidly-Stand is Good
 Corn all In.

Following is the weather bu- reau's summary of Arkansas crop conditions for the week end ing May 9:
 Seasonable temperatures with showers the latter part of the week were favorable for all the growing crops.
 Cotton planting is progressing rapidly and is now well advanced. Considerable of the early planted is up, the stand is fair to good and very little replanting will be necessary. Some of the early planted has been worked out for the first time.
 Corn planting is nearing com- pletion. Considerable of the early planted is up and is being cultivated for the first time. The stand is generally fair, but re- planting has been necessary in some sections.
 Small grains, pastures and gardens are doing well; potatoes are promising and in the south ern portion of the state are being harvested in some sections. Peaches and apples promise to be fair to good crops, although there is still some complaint in isolated sections of dropping, which is caused by previous cool nights and excessive rain. Straw berries are late, but are up to the average in yield.

\ TRIBUTE TO A
 NEWPORT GIRL

As we passed along the streets of this beautiful little city, made all the more beautiful by the eX- penditure of time and money in decorations, we feel that the peo- pie of Newport considered the coming of the Arkansaw Travel CTS as an event worthy of their notice.
 The window display of the Newport Builders Supply and Hardware Company would do credit to any city, and much credit is due the skilled mind that designed these displays. Every traveller should have viewed these windows before leaving the city, also those of the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Company, which shows that they, too, have an artist within their doors.
 While the merchants were laboring over their show windows battling in thought with their competitors, each trying to gain supremacy, the Bank of New port, with no such object in view, has by the arrangement of their office furniture, displayed to us that which eclipsed them all.
 They have received an elegant box of candy to be given to the young lady in the window, to whom this article is dedicated.

 The Story.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making a first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner. The buyer of the cheap machine soon pays the difference of price in the constant cost for repairs, to say nothing of it's annoying ineficiency.

school will close it's years work on Friday, May 20. It is desired that the patrons and friends of the school visit all it's depart ments during the last week, in order that they may form some idea of the character of work done during this school year.
 As the cousse of study for the high school department has been made to embrace three years of work instead d two as hereto fore, of course Fe shall have no graduating exerd ises at the close of the present ession. Up to January, 1904, | le school has had no regularly Adopted course of study. We n N have an excel lent course which admits our graduates W hout an examina- tion to aaMIl the colleges of our state and to the University of Arkansas.
 There are cities in the state twice as large as Newport which have not yet accomplished this end. Several of them continually boast, through the papers, of their magnificent system and yet are not accredited to any of the higher institutions of learning.
 In many ways we have labored at great disadvantage, but in the face of all difficulties most of the children have done fair years work and many have succeeded exceptionally well. Their efforts demand recognition by their parents and friends. Will you, parents and friends, show them your interest by spending day or half day in witnessing some of the final review and eXamina- tion work ]? Everybody is in vited.
 The following special commit tees have been appointed by the school board and sanctioned by the faculty:
 High School-Rev. c. Pope, chairman; Revs. G. B. Norton, T. c. Mahan, Dr. Hiram Camp bell.
 Intermediate Hon. Gustave Jones, chairman; Prof. J. D. Neal, Hon. M. M. Stuckey, Judge E. L. Boyce, Mrs. w. R. Stew art, Mrs. T. J. Watson, Mrs. o. w. Scarborough.

RIOT IN SEOUL.

Associated Press. Morning Service.
SEOUL, Korea, January ga dan
gerous riot broke out here yesterday
from an accidental cause. There was
an accident on the American street
railway in which a Korean was killed.
The native populace, which retains the
prejudice against the American innO-
walton of rapid transit that caused
them to wreck cars when the line was
started a few years ago, immediately
began rioting to avenge the death Of
their cOuntryman. The riot was
promptly quelled by the guards Of the
various legations, which have lately
been reinforced in anticipation of trou-
BILE under the disturbed situation.
In the meantime the Korean soldiers
and police took occasion to loot the
houses of wealthy natives at Yyenz-
yang.

BURNED TO DEATH.

Mrs. Clara Lounsberry, a former resi-
dent of Honolulu, was burned to death
at the home of her father, w. H. Wag-
ner, in San Francisco on Saturday,
January 9. The evening being cool,
Mrs. Lounsberry was building a fire in
the parlor CRATE, when her dress caught
fire and she was burned so badly that
she died within three or four hours,
There was nobody in the house but
herself when the accident happened,
and the unfortunate wOman's screams
brought neighbors to her assistance all
too late.
Mr.. Wagner buried his daughter at
Stockton. In a letter to Sam Nc
Keague, an old friend here, he asys he
is heart-broken, Clara having been all
he had left. Mr.. Wagner will be re-
membered as the manager of the Peo-
pies Ice Works here for some time.
Mrs. Lounsberry obtained a divorce
from her husband in Honolulu.

FISH DEALER
MAY Be MERCHANT
AKANA ALLOWED TO LAND UN-
DER DECISION BY DEPARTMENT
OF COMMERCE AND LABOR.

A decision by Secretary Cortelyou of
the Department Of Commerce and La
Dor has been received by immigration
Commissioner J. X. Brown, in the case
of Chu Kin, known as Akana, who was
detained on returning from China re-
Gently, on the ground that he was
dealer in fish and not a merchant.
Akana took out papers which repre-
scented him as a merchant, on leaving
here to visit China, but on returning he
was held up under n clause Of the law
which provides that anyone engaged In
taking, drying or selling fish shall be
considered a laborer.
Akana's business was the employ
ment of a small fleet of fishing boats
and he did not personally do any fish
ing. The department holds that he
is a merchant within the meaning Of
the law, and he is therefore free to
land. His case is believed to have
been the first one Of the kind to come
up under the exclusion laws.
