LETTER TO MIR. w. c. WILL
 HANSON, NEWPORT. ARK.

Dear Sir: "Three-quarters paint" is a good phrase for the best outside of Devoe.
 Devoe is the standard; mark it 100. The next best there are several not far apart are three quarter paints; you may mark them 75 to Devoe's 100.
 The bulk of the paints in mar ket are 40 or 50 or 60; a few are better than 60; a few are worse than 40.
 How do they act? They cover from one to three-quarters as much as Devoe; and they last from one to three-quarters as long as Devoe.
 What are they worth? The same rule don't hold; it costs more to put-on some paints than they are worth; they are not worth anything; the button" costs two or three times as much as the paint. Yours truly

IN SOCIETY,".
PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.

A noteworthy event in society annals of the past week, by req son of it's elegance and the'pleas- ure it afforded quite a lengthy list of invited guests, was the military euchre of Saturday aft ernoon, given by Mesdames J.H. McHugh and Robert Cox at the beautifully furnished McHugh home on Hazel street.
 The hostesses are very capable entertainers, for to generous hos pitality they lend the fur ther grace Of administering it well, and their efforts upon this afternoon were highly rewarded in the pleasure of their company.
 There were eight tables of card players, progressive euchre be- ling the game, and when the scores were finally determined, the following were declared win ners of prizes: Mrs. Gus Graham, pin tray; Mrs. E. L. Maris, bon bon dish; Mrs. T. B. Morrison, vase; Miss Della Bernstein. bon bon dish.
 The refreshments were very dainty and toothsome and nicely served, creamed egg on toast, chicken salad, waters, beaten biscuit, cheese, coffee, ice cream and peppermints.
 To each guest was given a pink carnation, commemorative of the day, it being the anniver- sary of the late president Will liam McKinley's birth, and as carnations were this truly great mans favorite flower, their use was most appropriate upon this day.

 In many cases of first offense, espe- cially where the young are involved. criminal conviction and sentence to the penitentiary seals their doom for life. in the midst of a degraded environment, it Is natural-almost inevitable-that they should sink to the level of their surroundings, and the vice that was momentary or occasional becomes habitual
 Is such a penal system just? Is 1t fair. Is it reasonable to spend such enormous amounts to capture and pun ish and such pal.ry sums to educate and save?

SOME DISCOVERIES.

It is astonishing how much informa- tion we get that isn't true. A recent example is given by Maine man who claims to be 90 years old. most of which time he has spent in the woods inves- tigating vegetable and animal life. One thing he professes to have learned Is that "every woodpecker that digs a hole in a tree for a nest chooses the east side.' This is surely news to all who have knowledge of these birds and their habits. It would be interesting if 1t were true, which 1t is not. At least it is not true in this region, what ever it may be in Maine. He thinks that they dig holes for their nests on the east side of the tree so that they may know when the sun rises! Smart birds.
 Another of his discoveries might be as important as he seems to think 1t Is if 1t is true. but 1t is no better founded than the other. in our opinion. He claims to have discovered the cause of the beautiful wood known as bird's-eye maple. and this is what he says:
 For nunQTeQS or years lumDermen ana cabinet makers have been studying to learn what causes maple wood to as- sume the spotted form known as 'bird's-eye," In a hundred rock maple trees perhaps one Is birds-eye Mo- body can pick the specific tree out by nsoecting the bark or the manner of growth. You may have to chop two 1t is worth the sacrifice.
 Fact is. the woodpeckers make all the bird's-eye maple there Is in the world. In flying about the the woods .sst they they very sweet sap in the season when sap is running. Most birds like sweets woodpeckers are very Toad of sugar. per cent of sugar the birds peck holes in the trunk and then stand against the bark and drink the sap as 1t oozes out: After the sap has ceased to How and the trees have leaved out, new wood and bark form In those small holes. The pecking and sap gathering goes on up so much sap to the birds. begins to furnish fluid containing less sugar In ten or twelve years after the birds quit a tree the holes are all grown up' and nobody can pick out the big birds eyes from other trees that the wood- peckers did not visit
 There are two or three little things in this statement that need explaining In the first place the real woodpeckers do not peck green trees. but we sup pose he will get over this by saying that the sapsuckers which peck holes in growing trees are a species of wood becker. and he would have the books with him on that point, for they all be- long to one great family. and many people call them all woodpeckers. As some call all of them by the latter name, we suppose the Maine man could make good on this point
 But what we fail to understand is
 why all the birds should center on one tree in forest of naples. all of them

 It is much easier task to meet the attack of an open enemy than to dwell in constant dread of an assault in the dark that is vaguely hinted at and may come at the first unguarded moment. Hints of possible nervous break k-down may well terrify any workingman for his command over his nerves is large part of his capital Me. William Browne. of No. 1919 Lincoln Street, St Joseph. Mo, is an expert timer in the employ of the National Biscuit Go. He tells the following story of a trying experience:
 Tn the spring of 1902" he says. while I was regularly working at my trade. I grew somewhat careless in my habits of eating and drinking, and finally found that my appetite was fickle, bad taste fingered in my mouth, my nerves twitched and were beyond my control. my kidneys were out of order and cold sweats would break out over my body at odd times. Perhaps. while I stood talking with some one. this trembling of the limbs. and profuse sweating. and a severe chill would seize me. I became alarm ed at my condition and, having read an advertisement of Dr. Williams Eink flllS, l got DoX ana began 70 use them. They helped me at once. After I had used one box the twitch- ing of the nerves. the trouble with the stomach and the cold sweats stopped and have not reappeared, and my ap- petite Is good. have told several friends that Dr. Williams Pink Pills are all right and recommend them to everybody
 Much has been said and written re- gently about medicines that contain al- cohol and. while most of the criticism has been unnecessarily alarming, 1t is evident that a remedy in pill form Is certain to be free from objection on this score. Furthermore. Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills for Pale People arc absolutely guaranteed to be entirely harmless to the most delicate constttu- tion and may be taken without fear. They have cured thousands of cases and if you will write to the Dr. Will Hams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.. stating your trouble, you will receive frank reply. If the pills will cure you. proof wis be furnished; if they are not suited for your trouble. you will be honestly told so.

yielding a sweet sap. Do they await the explorations of one pioneer bird. all of them take their turn at pecking . hole in 1t? That is not a reasonable explanation, and we do not believe that birds'eye maple Is produced in any such manner, this ancient investigator to the contrary notwithstanding. We do not profess to know why this peculiar wood exists. any nfere than we know the origin or cause of the curled ma pie. Birds evidently do not cause the curls which make this wood so peculiar and beautiful, and we doubt if they cause the other peculiarity.

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED.
Fly the Use of the New Scalp Anti.epti

By the Use of the New Scalp Antisepfic It wouldn't take long to number the hairs in the heads of some people, the reason being they haven't many to number. In most instances, however. the fault is their own. A germ at the root soon plays havoc with the most luxuriant growth and causes 1t to fade and fall out. A remedy for this has recently been discovered. called New bros Herpicide, that acts by destroy ing the germ that does the damage. besides removing all impurities from the scalp. In addition 1t permits new life and visor to enter the scalp. and happy results are sure to be obtained from its use. Try ir. Sold by leading druggists.

The Little White Slaves.
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

The Little White Slaves.
 (Child Labor in the Cotton Mills.) Beautiful snow-white cotton
 Emblem of purity, Twill not be soon forgotten.
 This lesson we learn from thee: Harken ye to the story,
 List to the horrible tale. O men with locks that are hoary! O women who quake and quail. What are those pale. dwarfed creatures. Half monkey and half man, With pitiful corpse-like features. Fixing out Life's brief span? With chests that are hollow and
 sunken,
 With cheeks that are pale and van. With arms from which strength has
 gone.
 Ever and on forever.
 From early morn till dusk. Till body and soul dissever,
 Earning a miserable husk. Little old men like boys, -.:... ... Girls with face grown old; No romps-no fun--no noise, .s As little white slaves they're sold. All day long at the spindle,
 All day Tor at the loom: Into queer warped shapes dwindle- Lives grow black with gloom. Sometimes they look with yearning. Where the green fields stretch away. And their childish hearts seem burning To run in the weeds and play. Sometimes the mock bird calls them To come tothe laughing brook. But the very thought appals them To lie In a shady nook. Sore, half-clothed. and weary,
 With hands that are slim and white, The hours seem long and dreary, -..@ And they learn to bless the night. Too tired when the work is ended s. To play in child-like bliss; F.: The good God never intended j" ..
