Successful women Dru,nmers.

"There are numbers of them in Phila-
delphla," said a well known travelling
man. speaking of women drummers,
'and they are most successful-more
successful than the men.
'One of the most successful drum
mers | know is an old lady who lives
here. She is grandmother, and
through reverses of fortune was
obliged to take to the road, carrying
on her husbands business. She's old
and comparatively feeble, but she can
sell more goods than any man.
II understand that to-day she has
bought a fine house, and sends grand
daughter through college by her work.
There are lots of women on the road
who make Il business of selling. and,
though it does not seem to be strict
ly feminine field. they succeed in the
work. .'-Phlladelphia Record.

The old prejudice against perfumes
has died out with the passing of musk
and patchouli. Those crude odors
which make room sickening after an
hour or so were considered vulgar. but
the delicate sachets and refined distil-
lations which have taken their places
are more popular than ever were the
musk and patchoull. The woman of
taste chooses one favorite odor and
sees to it that her soaps. her powders,
her creams, her gowns, her gloves, her
curtains and her bath are all scented
with it. The odor of a single flower
so popular a few seasons past, has
given place TO Paris concoctlons or
mixtures called bouquets. The most
fashionable women have an exclusive
bouquet made to order the secret of
which is kept from all others.

THE SNOW LULLABY.

When all was dull and dark and serene
In country and in town
a song 80 soft that none could hear ass,
Was gently waited down t,S
A song that foated to the hill
And sighed across the plain
And soothed each fretting, brawling rill
With its serene refrain.
II crept about the lonely tree
Which held an empty nest,
And murmured low the lullaby
That Gained the tree to rest
II beat across the meadows wide
Where grasses mourned for June
And all their rust,ing whispers died
Beneath its peaceful Groom.

The borders Of the wood
The shrubs that in the breezes reeled
Now firm and sturdy stood;
1t bade the sullen, leahess boughs
That their marsh tones must cease,
And over all, from fields to sloughs,
1t scattered silent peace.
This was the song that had no sign
OF music nor Of word
Yet grass and shrub and oak and pine
And hill and valley heard.
Then came a wind that smoothed the snow
With drowsy pat and sweep
And whispered. in the moonlight's glow,

SENATOR BUTT ARRESTED
Was Indicted For Bribery in Connec- tion With State Capitol Bill in
 Last Legislature.

State Senator F. 0. Butt was arrested at Berryyille Monday on a bench warrant from Little Rock charging hip with bribery in con- nection with the bill sppropriating $500, 900 for the completion of the new State Capitol. The indict- ment alleges that Senator Butt paid $l00 and promised S400 more to Senator K. K. Adams of Grant County for the lstter's vote in fa- vor of the bill. Senator Butt gave bond in the sum of S5, ,00O for his appearance at the September term of Pulaski County circuit court in answer to the charge.
 Reports from Eureka Springs, Senator Butts home, say that the best citizens, irrespective of party, have signed the bond and have implicit faith in the Senator's hon. or and integrity. In an interview Mir. Butt stated that he had no fears of the final outcome of the affair and of the fact his innocence of the charge would be established. However, Senator k. k. Adams of Grant county, who is editor of the Sheridan Headlight, published an editorial in his paper last week stating that Senator Butt had giv- en him Sl00 to vote for the pass age of the bill and promised him S400 more. Senator Adams be- came conscience stricken and re- turned the S100 to Senator Butt.

THE SENATORSHP

Senator Berry has held public office continuously for thirty nine years. In 1866 he was elected to the legislature from Benton coun- ty, and since that time he has held almost every office within the gift of the people of Arkansas; and at the end of his present term will have been in Congress twenty-four years. Would 1t not have been more in keeping with the true spirit of Democracy if the senator had thanked the people of Arkan- sas for the many honors bestowed upon him and gracefully retired, without having to be checked off The Journal thinks 1t would. And if a man is not satisfied with thir- ty-nine years in office what would 1t take to satisfy himl
 Senator Berry draws salary of $5, ,000 year for his services as senator, which for the twenty-four years he has been in the senate. makes a total of S120,OOO. It is plainly evident, therefore, that the senator ought to have laid by 8 snug sum of the coin of the realm, and as for the honors of the posi- tion, quarter of a century's con tinuOus service in the highest law making body of the greatest na- tion on earth, certainly ought to satisfy his thirst for honor. Then why hang on like a mangy calf and have to be checked of! There are a number of men in Arkansas just as worthy of the honor, and just as competent and able to look after the states interest. Then why not pass 1t around and let some other man enjoy the honor land the salary awhiles
 From our way of looking at things, Senator Berry has got all that's coming to him.

Lent.

Lent is nominally a part OF the re-
Christian bodies of this countryside
Roman Catholic and the Protestant
Episcopal churches-yet it has come
in recent years to be more or less
generally observed by all.
Why is this the case? The ten
dency of the religious life Of the day
is toward that which is practical;
yet here is drift toward something
which, in the minds of many persons,
is associated with ritualism. Men
and women who belong to none OF
the churches which formerly observe
Lent now modify their habits con-
siderably doing II period Of forty days,
to conform to this ancient Christian
fast. They may not follow any of
the rules in regard to strict fasting or
even to .abstaining from meat, but
they do make changes in their daily
habits which are quite MS significant.

Brokers leave their tickers for an
hour at noon, and spend the time in
listening to u brief address. Sunday
congregations are larger and atten-
dance at places of amusement Is
smaller.
The explanation is doubtless simple.
1t is that other churches besides those
which have been mentioned, and per-
haps persons outside of churches,
have begun to feel that it is good to
give part of the year especially to
the life of the soul and to spiritual
things; to recall the fasting and temp
tations and the last earthly days of
the Master, and to rededicate their
aims and ambitions.
The age so far from being one which
encourages theological or ecclesiasti-
cal differences, is impatient and

are becoming broad enough to recog-
nize beautiful custom, no matter in
what church they find 1t, and to adopt
