Proposed New Railroad.

The state board of railway incor- poration has granted d charter to the Little Rock and Northern Ar kansas Railroad Company. The in- corporators propose to erect direct line from Little Rock to Springfield Mo. The charter IS a renewal of one granted to the same parties about a year ago. One of the chief promoters of the line states that over $100,Ooo have already been expended in surveying, etc, and that work would now be under way but for slight hitch in financing the scheme. The incorporators express themselves as positive the road will be built, as financial arrangements have partially been completed with eastern and European capitalists.

Organ Plays Without Performer.

A most interesting story comes from Asbury NJ. E. Church, South, in the western part of Little Rock, youchsafed for by Rev. T. Y. Ram sey and Rev. Walker Lewis. It ap- pears that while Dr. Lewis was at church for midweek services, and waiting for the time to open, the organ sounded two notes, clearly and distinctly heard by all in the church. There was no one near the organ, and investigation could find no mouse or other object that could have caused the strange sound. 1t was heard once more that evening. The following week, while Dr. Ram sey was there, precisely the same thing occurred, and again could no solution be found.

Persued By His Ylctim,a Ghost.

John Whitehead, prominent Miller county planter, is a mental wreck, the result of breeding over tragedy. About three years ago Whitehead shot and killed a young man for the alleged betrayal of his sister He first went to the young man and told him he must marry the girl, but was met with a flat footed refusal, the young fellow protesting that he had never had any improper relations with the young woman. Whitehead there upon shot the young man to death. After a long and hard-fought legal battle Whitehead was declared not guilty of murder, but notwith- standing the verdict he has since been a very much changed man. For several weeks he claims that the wrath of his victim has been following about, prosecuting him, and more recently he asserts that the spook has assumed a decidedly ugly and beIligerent attitude, threatening him with all sorts of bloody vengeance for having killed it's physical body while here on earth

A Girls Own Brother.
But he's my own brother"

buL III > lily OWL UIOllcI.
Is that any reason why you should
take his courtesics for granted and
never say "thank you.'
Is that any reason why you should
not try to make an evening at home
pleasant for him, instead of forcing
him by your selfishness to seek his
happiness somewhere else?
Is that any reason why you should
not think his opinion of your frocks,
your bonnets or your looks worth con-
sideration?
Is that any reason why you should
appear before him in clumsy wrap,
per, and with your hair in papers?
Is there any reason why you should
push him to the wall except when you
need him, and then claim his attention
as your right?
Because he is your own brother,
you ought to be tcnfold more consider
ate of him than Of the brothers of
other girls. Because he is your very
own brother, you ought to study his
tastes, and cater to them; read the
books that lie likes, and suggest others
to him; study the songs he fancies,
and be glad to make new ones known
to him. In this way you will make
your brother your very own, and to
him SISTER will be the most delight
full among girls. Are you your
brothers keeper? Yes, in way. But
you do not keep him by fettcrs formed
of ill-tcmper, untidiness and lack Of
courtesy, but by one made of every
feminine grace and frightened up by
Il sisters love.

A Good Daughter.

I want another year at school more
than I can tell, but I think it is my
duty to stay at home with mother.
She gets lonely. Father is away all
day, and there does not seem to be
much for her to interest herself in.
So speaks fine, dutiful daughter.
At the most sensitive, formative period
of her life she deliberately breaks
away from the great influences of
books and Of discipline, and tries to
adapt herself to the needs of the home,
and to the demands of social life for
which she knows herself but half
fitted.
Each time this problem confronts
mother and daughter it must, Of
course, be met on it's own merits. No
stranger may or can intermcddle with
the secrets which determine the rela-
ton Of sacrifice to life; but in general
it is true Of daughter, as of son, that
her best service to her parents comes
through the broadening and the enrich
ing Of her own, life, always keeping

Don't Answer Back.

The habit of answering back" is
as reprehensible in grown people as
in children, and should be suppressed
by every person anxious to lead a
peaceable and harmonious life. The
household in which each member
strives for the last word in the argu-
ment, is most anxious to maintain an
independent course of action, is afraid
lest he should be imposed upon, is not
a happy household, nor can it ever be-
come such one. 1t is an odious place
to visit, and the separate individuals
that compass it can always have a
pleasanter atmosphere and time
somewhere else; yet it is but seldom
that any one will give up the habit,
or, as whole, reform and institute
a new order Of things. There is but
one way to produce Il lasting result,
and that is to withhold your tongue
on each and every occasion when bit
ter or sharp words arise to the sur.
face. The old adage, at takes two
to make a quarrel" is invariably true
and. willie silence is an aggravating
response to an irritating remark, its
effect is inevitable. The temptation tc

Crime In Ireland

The reports of the prisons board,
says the Dublin "Freeman's Journal"
contains the story of the decline of
Irish crime. There were only 249 con-
victs in the Irish prisons OIL January l.
as compared with 464 Oh the 1st of
January, 1896. and S93 on the list of
january, 1881. There was a decrease
of hundred in the committals of all
classes. The only unsatisfactory fca-
ture was the increase in the number
Of juveniles convicted. The number
under 16 years of age went up from
135 to 1872. The decrease in this class
of offenders had been steady and un-
interrupted down to 1899, the year fol-
lowing Lord Cadogan's ill-judged and
illegal tampering with the administers
tion of the Industrial schools act in the
interest of a few pounds of treasury
savings. Last year the number was
higher than in 1899.
But the number Of Juvenile Grim
inals is also greater on account of the
indefensible action of the magistracy.
The prisons board have again to re-
peat their complaint that magistrates
do not make use Of their powers under
the juvenile offenders act to avoid send
ing children to Jail. 'Tt is disappoint-
ing to find so many Juvenile offenders
imprisoned" The board gave list Of
cases. The worst came from Cork.
No fewer than eight children between
the ages of 8 and 111A were sent to
Jail in Cork in 1903 for constructing
the footway." In Galway little girl
of 10 was sent to Jail for seven days
for trespass! Is it too much to say
that the magistrates who did these
things should get as many months as
these children got days in prison?
