FANCY WORK FOR CHRISTMAS.
Theater Bag Charming Gift Not
 Hard to Make.

Now is the time to get together pat. terms and materials for the fancy work which is to turn into Christmas gifts. The theater bag makes charm ing little gift which may be adapted to old or young, as it is carried out in gray, white or black. It is embroid- cred in beads and spangles.
 Use heavy silk or soft suede. and work in the dots with beads and the rest of the pattern in oblong and round spangles. The bag is made alike on both sides and has fringe of beads added to it as a border.
 With gray silk use steel beads and silver spangles; with black use jet and black spangles; or, dainty and beautiful bag may be made with white or yellow silk done in yellow or gold beads and gold spangles.
 Pretty bits of brocade and light weight bits of furniture tapestry also make lovely bags by following the woven pattern in putting on the bead work. Steel chain and clasp should be used for the gray, gilt for the vel low, and gun metal for the black.

PROPER USES OF POWDER.
Protection to the Skin and a Means
 of Natural Beauty.

There are women who do not believe in the use of powder. Why? Well, thoy were not brought up" to use it., ant they hold to the biased opinion that the habit is foolish and tawdry and damaging to the cuticle.' This kind of reasoning went out of fashion when it was discovered that powder is a protection to the skin and a means of natural beauty as we'll To protect the skin from the ravages of temper ature means the preservation of nat ural beauty-see?
 Use a first-rate brand of powder. Don't use the sort made pernicious by minerals that fairly corrode the skin. Get a brand that is finely bolted and has disinfectant quality along with a refreshing influence. Use plenty of it, but not too much.
 Before you go into the weather put cold cream on your face. Gently .rut the cream into the skin. Then wipe the cream off-after which apply the powder with a soft cloth or piece ot chamois. The powder puff is a good thing to use when you want to re fresh the face. But when you are pre- pairing it to fare into the weather, use the cloth or chamois.
 Always remove powder from the face at night before you retire. You can not wipe powder off with a damp cloth, nor can you wash it off with cold water Give the face bath with a studs made of water and fine toilet soap. Then rinse all the soap off the cuticle.
 The application of cold cream before you retire is another story.-Chicag go Journal.

Boil Weevil in Arkansas.

In answer to an inquiry, w. G. Vim cenheller, director of the Arkansas Az ricultural Experimental Station at Fay etteVille, writes that there is no ques tion in his mind but that the boil wee vii has already made it's appearance in Arkansas and that unless precau tions are taken by the farmers it will spread to larger territory next year. MT. Vincenheller has been in commu nication with Dr. w. D. Hunter, who is in charge of the government entomolo gist work in Texas and Louisiana, and Dr. Hunter states that already the weevil has made it's appearance in Mil. Ter, Lafayette and Columbia counties. According to the report from Mr. Hun ter the weevil has been found not more than twelve or fifteen miles north of the Louisiana state line in Columbia county, but he believes it will spread farther north and will migrate east ward just as it has done in Louisiana.

 Will Try Arkansas Pickers.
 A. B. Moore, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, passed through Fort Smith recently with 100 white cotton pickers, who will be distributed through the farms in the vicinity of Guthrie. Mr. Moore said that he expected to be able to give the men work for the entire year. While at Fort Smith MT. Moore re- ceived a message instructing him to secure as many pickers as is possible, as there is a large demand for them in the Guthrie district. The pickers are paid 75 cents per 100 pounds. Most of them are married men and will remove their families to Guthrie on the promise of MT. Moore to give them years work. MT. Moore will return in short time for another lot of pickers The men were drawn from Washington and Benton counties.
 Reunion. at Walcott Postponed.
 On account of the excessive rains the Confederate reunion ct Walcott has been postponed. The condition of the roads and the continued rain ren. dered it next to impossible to make the reunion success. Walcott will perhaps set another day, when it is to be hoped that conditions will be more favorable to holding the re union.

and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa- thetic nature.
 In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham. a builder and real estate operator. and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- perience many of them gained a won derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex- pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi- cines for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was a rare combina- ton of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu. liar to the female sex, and Lydia F. Pink. hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this so far was done freely, with out money and without price, as 8 labor of love.
 But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interest. of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most iron fearful depression, so when the Centen nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham'. Vegetable Compound was made knowr to the world.

Even the Zulu can now hear his own native songs and war dances from records made by a Lon don company, who have sold more than 20 machines to swarthy warrior chiefs in South Africa. Folk-songs of the Pygmies were recently procured, and machine has been dispatched to Lapland for the purpose, if possible, of procuring Eskimo folk-songs.

restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world.
 The PinlShams had DO money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling gross oi bottles. Then came the question Of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to rum off some pamphlets setting forth the merits oi the medi- cine, now called Lydia E. PlpHham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkban sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
 The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to great extent, self lf-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de- mand gradually increased.
 In 1877, by combined efforts the fam 1 fly had saved enough money to com mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success Of the enterprise were assured, until to- ] table Compound have become house. hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu- ally in it's manufacture.
 Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as ofa cb a0x,la 11. # herself.
 During her long and eveptful expe- rience she was ever methodica1 in her work and she was always careful topre- serve record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice and there were thousands-received careful study, and the details, includ- ing symptoms. treatment and results were recorded for future reference, aad to-day these records, together wish hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent vast eol]a bora tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ;lls, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world.
 With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter in law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence.
 To her hands naturally teIl the direction of the work when it's origina- tor passed away. For pearly twenty | five years she has continued it, and | nothing in the work shows when the 1 first Lydia E. Pinl1ham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinhham, now the mother of large family, took it up. With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad-
 vised how to regain health. Sick wo- men, this advice is ''Yours for Health"
 freely given if you only write to ask
 for it.
 Such is the history of Lydia E Pink
 hams Vegetable Compound made
 from simple roots and herbs: the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble l woman whose name 1t bears.

J. B. Reese, the 14-year-old son of s. B. Reese of Nashville, on a Sun day morning recently killed 13 teal ducks on the pond on the Glendale stock farm at one shot. A number of ducks were swimming around on the water when the shot was fired, after which 13 were se- cured. The boy shot again as the ducks arose to fly away and killed another, making IA ducks at two shots. MT. Reese states that he does not allow his boy to hunt on Sunday, but that such shots as those made last Sunday morning m measure palliates the offense.

Murder and Lynching in Areenta.
 J1R R Lindsay, white, of Jackson ". Pulaski county, was killed, and hiig son, Milton Lindsay, was injured by two negroes, declared by Milton Lindsay to be Garret and c. c. Colum, at the door of the Colum undertaking establishment, 505 East Washington avenue, Argenta, on the night of Oc- tober 6. The negroes were at large at last accounts. They escaped by locking the doors of the rear rooms of their establishment just after the shooting to cause those who gathered to believe they were still in the build ing. They evidently got out of the building within a few minutes after the first shots were fired. The two men are believed to have gone toward Menifee, where they formerly lived. The house was dynamited by the of ficers, but no one was found therein. The killing was the echo of tragedy of some weeks before, when one of the Colums was killed. H. Black burn, a negro about 37 years of age, who conducted a confectionery store in Argenta, next to the grocery and undertaking establishment of the Colums, was lynched the nio' fol- lowing at the corner of Sixth and Main streets. just half block from the city hall, which contains the city's jail and fire station. The negro did not confess nor did he make any statement. He was seemingly so badly frightened that the only words he uttered were 'tOh, Lordy! Oh, Lordy." Blackburn was strung up to a telegraph pole, rope about fifty feet in length being thrown over the cross-arm at the top of the pole, and the victim of the mob being drawn up about half way to the cross-beam. Shortly after he was strung up some fifteen or twenty shots were fired at him. and many of the bullets took effect in his body.
