WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.

The American girl is admired and liked at home and abroad because she is the happiest. usually the healthiest and friend Hest of girls She IS fond of life and is alive to everything beautiful and good in existence Mrs. LangtTy has said that the American woman has little to learn from her English sisters.
 Dr. Pierce, the specialist in women s dis eases. of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple ex- ercises for wouIen. preferably in the out door air. But many women are confined to the house and their household duties or their business confines them to poorly ven filated rooms
 If a woman suffers from a headache, backache. a sensation of IrritabiIity or something must be wrong with the head or back, she naturally says, but all the time the real trouble very often centers in the womauly organs. In g per cent of cases the scat of the difficulty is here. and a woman should take rational treatment for its cure. The local disorder and iufamma- ton ot the delicate special organs of the sex should be treated steadily and system atically.
 Backed up by over third of century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprtetors and makers of pr. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay S5oo for any case of LeucorThea. Female Weakness, Pro- lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure.

 The writing and publishing of "The Age of Reason" Q794-'95) was a kind of suicide. It shocked every orthodox believer. It infuriated the orthodox pulpit. It almost plotted out for a century the remembrance of the au- thor's real and great services to Amer ica. It cost him tho favor of con servative men like George Washing ton, by no means orthodox in their personal beliefs. Without accepting the pulpit view of it as a sulphurous emanation from the BottomIess Pit. they utterly disapproved of its vio- lence, coarseness and bitterness.

The Lesson That Alexis Forgot.

Some twenty years ago. when the Grand Duke Alexis was a young man. he visited the United States. He trav- eled as far west as the Rocky Noun tains. and on the way thithcr he stopped at Topeka. The legislature was in session, and the grand duke and his party were escorted to the capitol building in order that they might see an American body of law makers in session. P. P. Elder. since famous as a popuIist but then an or thodox republican, was speaker of the Kansas house of representatives, and with proper Kansas hospitality he ad- journed the house after awhile and took the princely scion of the Roman offs in tow. Showing the grand duke through the spacious capitol, the speaker paused and directed his at tention to the motto of Kansas em- blazoned on the wall Of the house of representatives: "Ad astra per as pera' C''Through difficulties to the stars'D. And the remark then made by the Kansas speaker to one of the best educated men of Europe has be- come a western classic.
 'Dook," said Elder them words is Latin. They mean that you kin git to the top only by mighty hard climb in"
 Tradition does not record the reply of the grand duke. but it has always been supposed that he was duly inn pressed, and that he then and there learned a valuable lesson in the phil osophy of life. But. it seems, the honely truth pressed upon his atten- tion by the Kansas statesrhan was forgotten. Alexis the other day re- signed in disgrace from his position at the head of the Russian navy. One of the practical reasons for his res ignation is found in the fact that there is no longer Russian navy for him to command. and it is of course incompatible with the dignity of royal Romanof to command a navy who-e remnants are at the bottom of tke sea.
 But suppose Alexis had taken to heart the philosophy of the Kansas motto as interpreted by Speaker FL der-"You kin git to the top only by hard climbin' %? What would have been the result if Russia had realized that she could have had a great navy only by overcoming great difficulties that there is no excellence without great labor"-and Alexis had used the p1instaking care in building, manning and discipling his navy that Japan ex- hibited in bringing her navy to it's high efficiency? The outcome of the battle in the Sea of Japan might have been vastly different.
 But the Russian navy that grew up under the direction of Alexis was navy only on paPer-it represented no hard climbin''' but on the con atrary represented merely Russian red-tape, Russian laxitiveness, Russian graft and Russian inefficiency. Alexis for got his Kansas lesson.

WHAT FOR, PRAY.

One evning, not long ago. the after dinner chat of a little coterie centered on the subject of the New Yorker and his blind devotion to the great east trn metropolis. one declared that the average New Yorker couldn't see over he Harlem flats; and another said that though there were undoubtedly some extremely clever people there, the thing that spoiled them for him was their ignorance of and semi for anything outside of New York, espec- ialIy in the west.

COL. COOKS VISIT.

Col. Y. Y. Cook of Elmo recently returned from a visit to Hon. B.. H. Crowley of Paragould, and in speaking of the colonel, the Para gould Soliphone has the following:
 While in the city Col. Cook was warmly greted by many old ex-Confederates and Spanish war veterans. The colonel is soldier of distinction as we'll as a dis tinguished civilian, and his erect and stately form. eagle eye and military bearing mark him as such.
 In the war between the states he followed Forrest, under whom he served as an officer and saw service in many of the hard fought battles of that bloody struggle. At the outbreak of the Spanish American war he was, by Gov. Dan Jones, appointed colonel of the Second Arkansas regiment and still clings to the regret that the war department never let his regiment get beyond the camp at Chickamauga. The colonel and his regiment were full of fight and the enforced camp life they led during the scrimmage was to them like being in prison.

THE WAITER LOST A TIP.
the Opening for an Escape.

At one of the Kansas City ho- tels where the colored walters give especially good service, but al- ways expect adequate remunera- tion for the same from the guests, a waiter was especially officious the other day in serving a man from whom he expected liberal tip, relates the Journal. When the meal had been served and he was standing off at one side, eagerly looking for an opportunity to be of service, he said to the guest
 "Didn't yo' have brothah heah last week, sah?"
 "No," said the one addressed, "I believe not"
 "Well," continued the waiter. "theh was a gem'man heah at nah table what looked ve'y much like you, and he was so we'll pleased with the service that he gave me 90 cents when he left"
 The guest had by this time fin. ished his meal, and as he arose he said to the expectant seryitor:
 "Come to think of it, Sam, that was my brother that was here, and I guess he paid you for the whole family. He may be back again in a week or two"

WHY ARKANSAS HAS
 NO MILLlONAlRES
Wealth is More Evenly Divided and Does Not Go Into the Pock-
 cts of Few Men.

A newspaper item to the effect that there are JOS resident million ionaires in Colorado. their total wealth being about S260, 900, 900, served as a lead for an interesting conversation in a group of promi- nent men in Gleason s hotel lobby at Little Rock recently, says the Arkansas Gazette. The assertion was made that there was not sin gle resident millionaire in Arkan- sas. Mention was made of sever- al citizens whose individual wealth approximates perhaps half mil- lion dollars. but no one could name person in the state whose posses sions entitled him to rank in the S1 ,000, GOO class. Of course there are corporations in Arkansas with million dollar assets, and 1t may be in few years that some of the private fortunes will be enhanced to the seven-fgure category.
 Without doubt there are a number of prospective million aires in the state, said one man. who seemed to be well-informed. "I know several men whose hold ings are worth several hundred thousand dollars and consist large ly of realty, including timber and mineral lands. The value of their property is rapidly increasing. Hundreds of persons, in fact, have made judicious investments in Arkansas, and it is but a question af reasonable time that they will be eligible to the S1 ,000, ,000 rating. The cotton fields of Arkansas pro- duee double the amount of wealth turned out by the Colorado gold mines annually, but the cotton re- turns are divided among the thous- ands of owners of farms, while in Colorado the profits of gold pro- ductions are concentrated among a few mine owners. That's the difference. In Arkansas the wealth is distributed among the people; in Colorado it goes into the pockets of a fortunate few for the most part. There is no other state in the Union in which the conditions are more favorable for wealth production than in Arkan- Sas.
