Apple Lucy Ponies.

In the days of Teddy the Great we had a mail route established from Lowell eastward
 And William Cowan became the mail carrier,
 Others desired 1t but he was the most litter.
 And it came to pass as lie car ried the mail the mud became deeper and deeper, and his horses for they were of fine blood, wax ed weary of the heavy burden. Williams heart was sore =vexed because his fat horses became lean He thought about 1t much and it grieFed him.
 In the night time as he lay his head upon the pillow he thought, this will 1 do.
 will purchase the apple Lucy Ponies of nA neighbor, NIT. An derson.
 And 1t was so, as early morn approached lie hied himself away and boughtthe ponies at q big round sum.
 For William had to make big round trip every day except on the Lords Day.
 He gave ten dollars down, the balance to be paid in a short time.
 The blacksmith shod them which cost two dollars more.
 William was jubilant and held the lines with both hands.
 The mud abated not little and the wheels turned slowly.
 Moreover the ponies disappoint- ed him.
 InSomueh that they could hard ly go at all.
 The next day lie took them back and delivered them back to Mr. Anderson.
 In the end he was like in the beginning except set back twelve dollars.
 And the fate of William and the Apple Lucy Ponies ended. So 1t been. Selah.

Shall We Let the Birds Die?

It has become d serious queS- tion with many fruit growers that the wholesale destruction of birds that k being practiced should be prohibited by the most stringent laws for q term of years, especially in this fruit growing belt, \. N. Arkansas. We all know by our own obser- vations the last few years that those engaged i'll the growing of fancy grades Of fruit in this sec tion are terribly handicapped by the rapid increase of insect pests. It has been demonstrated beyond all doubt by experiments made at experiment stations in different states and also by the general government that the quail alone destroys thousands of tons yearly of these obnoxious pests SO iniu- rious to fruit culture. Also the numerous other varieties of birds that take such an active part in insect destruction. This brings the question more vividly before us and "Shall We Let the Birds Live Is an imperative question the answer to which should be yes.
 How can this be brought about? By having fruitgrowers assoeia- tions, nursery men and individu- als as far as possible, who are in- terested in the fruit industry and building up of the country, 10 impress upon the minds of our legislators the necessity of hay ing laws 50 made that there will be 10 doubt of their efficiency by having the penalties SO embodied in them that 10 one would wish to take chances in breaking them by killing the birds.
 This bird question is d debata- bic one and the writer not being debater, would be pleased to have others give their views on this matter through the columns of The News and by the courtesy of its editor SUBSCRIBER

In Mem0riam.

Thomas David, son of Mr, and Mrs. A. E. Henson, was born October 6. 1888, and died Janu- ary 20, 1000, aged seventeen years three months and seventeen days.
 His was indeed a beautiful young life. Tommie, as his friends loved to call him, was in many respects model home boy, truthful. kind and industrious, never so tired but that lie was ready to help father or mother.
 How sad that his young life should be cut off when there was So much promise for bright fu- ture But what 1 do thou knowest lot now but thou shalt know hereafter. And Aho shall say that that last look upward was not in recognition ot the Savior or some loved one gone before.
 Funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. l. h. Phillips at Shrdy Grove church. after which the remains were laid te rest to await the resurrection morn. There k no flock, however watched
 and tended,
 But one dead lamh k there There k no home, hawe'er defended, But has vacant chair.

1FICERS WELL UNION.
Organiza alton of the W. (. T. u.
Eoited by Mrs. Horriet F. K ldd

Woman's Christian Temperance Union Her zeal, her eloquence, her indefatigable industry and lovely christian character htted her for this high office. In the spring she started out aceompan- jed by her faithful secretary, Anna Gordon. on d tour of organ izatlon. She first visited the South where she was most kindly received and where, as she after wards declared, she was thorough l ly reconstructed.
 She bore letters of introduction from Bishop Wightman, which she said proved an open sesame to the most exclusive homes of the south. Her work was en- dorsed by the most influential people and the doors of the most conservative churches We're freely opened To her. She subquently made four trips to the south or ganizing many unions as well as Bands of Hope or as they were subsequently, called Loyal Tenn peranee Legions, where children were taught the beauty and duty of temperance.
 Accompanied by Miss Gordon, she started out to make that fa- nous trip during which she visit ed every state and territory of the Union, Alaska excepted. She leetured and formed unions in all towns of ten thousands or more besides many smaller ones. More than ten thousand permanent unions of God loving. God fearing women were tie result of this trip. These are the stars for her glorious crown. They who do well shall shine as tle sun and they who turn many to righteous ness :. the stars forever and ever.
 During this trip, while i'll San Francisco she noted the crowds  of OrientalS and observed the deg relation caused by the opium habit and there she made a re- solve to induce the white ribbon women to carry their work into foreign lands
 The next annual convention was held in Detriot in 1888 when It was decided to send out temper ance missionaries. Mary Clem- ent Leavit was the first one sent. For about seven years she devot ed her time to the work of organ ization in Hawaiian Islands, Aus tralia, Madagascar, Africa. Bur nah, India, China, Mederia, Mauritius, Ceylon, Siam, Korea, Japan and Europe. It has been said of her No woman in the history of the world has made an expedition so long, so varied and so productive of benifieent re- suits. Her name Is revered in all the lands where her eonsecrat- ed lips have uttered the message of the N. C. T. U. She made easy the work of those who fol- lowed in her path building on the foundation which she laid.
 During Mrs. Leavit's seven years pilgrimage she travelled more than ninety-seven thousand miles, utilized the services of more than two hundred inter- preterS in forty-Seven different languages.
 She made possible Miss Will lard's dream of a Worlds Wom- ans Christian Temperance Union She returned to America in 1891 to attend the first World < eonyen- ton after which she visited South America where under many difh- culties she planted the good seed.
