We occasionally meet woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom Of youth. We wonder how
it has come about, what her secret
is. Here are some Of the reasons !:
She knew how to forget disageoable
things. She kept her nerves well in
hand and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things. She did not ex-
pect too much from her friends.
She made whatever work che had to
do congenial. She retained the IL.
lusions and did not believe all the
world untrue, wicked and nnkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the diseonr-
aged. She did unto others as she
would be done by. and now that
old age has come to her and there
is halo Of white hair abont her
head she is loved and considered.
This Is secret Of a long and hap
py life.

Judge Blank, justice of the
peace from the Kechi Hills of Ok.
lahoma, was called upon to perform
the marriage ceremony for young
couple. The judge, being from
Arkansas, where ministers usually
officiate on such occasions, was at q
loss to know how to proceed, but,
as the Chickdsdm Erpress reports it,
he rose to the occasion. He COM
manded the couple to stand and be
sworn as follows: "Do you each
solemnly swear that you will obey
the constitution Of the United
States and the constitution of the
great State of Arkansas, and per-
form the duties of your Office to the
best of your ability, so help You
Godf" The couple nodded assent.
The Judge continued. 'sThen by
the power in me vested by the
strong arm of the law, | pronounce
you man and wife, now, hence
forth and forever, and you will
stand committed until the fines and
costs are paid, and may the Lord
have mercy on your souls y

THE COLORADO CONTEST.

Denver, Colo, Feb. IA. ---t'over-
nor Alva Adams closed his defense
in the contest for the Office of
Governor tonight, and tomorrow
James H Peabody, will begin the
presentation of evidence in rebuttal
for which five days allowed under
the rules governing the contest.
The Legislative Committee hearing
the contest is required to report its
findings TO the Legislature March
/, and on March 2 the contest will
be decided.
Practically the entire afternoon
to-day was taken up in listening
TO reports of Democratic experts
on ballot boxes from Hueafano
Country.
Gross examination developed
that the experts believe that many
of the ballots written in two or
three handwritings in the various
precincts were written by clerks and
judges in assisting illiterates, al
though the pollbooks, save in one
or two eases, failed to show that
any assistance was given
1t will probably be admitted by
the Democrats that these ballots
were written by election officials but
they will also make the claim that
they were cast by the officials with
ont the actual presence Of the all
eyed voters.

Representative Broussard

Representative Broussard of
Louisiana, has introduced bill in
congress providing for the creation
OF a board Of engineers TO inquire
into the feasibility and necessity OF
devorcing the Mississippi from the
Red and Atchafalaya rivers and do
fiecting all the waters of the Red
down the Atchafalaya. It is be-
lieved that the carrying ont OF this
project would exercise an import

MONEY IN TRUCK FARMING.

| As an instance of what can bt
done in only one of the many smal
crops TINT will do well here, the
following "onion" talk from the
Daily States is especially interest
ing.
Onr truck farmers who may have
a good supply Of onions on hand
are to be congratulated, because
that much ridiculed but wholesome
and comforting vegetable is now
selling for 81 bnshel in the open
market and the demand soon
promises to be much greater than
the supply. The appears to be due
to the failure Of the onion crop in
Europe last year, and orders being
received from there by dealers on
this side Of the Atlantic. A few
days ago a consignment of 10000
bushels were shipped from Suther-
land Mass. to Liverpool, aud as II
result about 10000 bushels have
been "cornered" in the Connecticut
Valley BY few enterprising
Yankees, and will be held until
the price advances much above the
present figures, which is sure to
happen because no home is happy
without an onion,
However, very soon the Bermuda
and Havana crops of onions, which
are ripening, will be on the market
and the boon will be over for the
present season. Farmers in Louisi-
ana and Texas are now planting
onions and reports say they will
raise more this year than ever be-
fore, because they have discovered
that there is good profit in them.
1t is not only an easy and safe
crop, but the expenditure of money
and labor required to raise it is
triaing, yet we fiud onions to-day
selling for as much per bushel as
corn. Indeed, it may be doubted
whether there is any crop that pays
so handsomely as the ordoriferous
vegetable, which is now command
ing snch high price all over the
country. It would be well for our
farmers not to lose sight Of fact
that in the humble onion there is
not only strength bnt money II
they will plant and market their
crop late in the year, and the later
better, it will put ten times more
money in their pockets than would
the same amount Of ground planted
in cotton.

ANOTHER PENSION MOVEMENT

There is now a movement on
foot to have the United States pen
sion all daughters of soldiers oil
the Revolution. There are only a
few more than three hundred OI
these women now living. And il
is pointed out that it would take
but'a small sum to provide them
with a neat pension for the re-
nader Of their lives, which at best
cannot be long.
This proposition at first, appeals
to the sympathy of the people who
read it, but little study of the
proposition will convince one of
the danger that lies beneath the
surface. If it is established as n
precedent that the daughters of
these soldiers are to be pensioned
the next thing that we will hear
Of will be the proposition to pen
sion the daughters of soldiers Of
the war of 1912, aud then those of
the Indian wars and the Mexican
war, then the daughters of all the
soldiers of the war between the
States, and finally the daughters
of the Spanish-American war sol
diers.
There is no telling to what ex-
tent this will proceed if il once
starts. The daughters OF revolu-
tionary soldiers may richly deserve
help in many instances, but where
in the world is this pension busi-
ness to stop9-B. X. Timss.
