\ Life of Freed Q m.

People sometimes think how delight full it would be to be quite free. But a fish. as Ruskin says, is freer than a man. and, as for q fly. it is "a black incarnation of freedom" A life of so called pleasure and self indulgence is not life of real happiness or true freedom Far from it. If we once be gin to give way to ourselves we fall under most intolerable tyranny. 9th CT temptations are in some respects like that of drink At first, perhaps, it seems delightful, but there is bitter ness at the bottom of the cup. Men drink To satisfy the desire created by previous indulgence. So it is in other things. Repetition soon becomes a craving not a pleasure. Resistance grows more and more painful. Yield ing, which at first, perhaps. afforded some slight and temporary gratifiea tion, soon ceases 10 give pleasure and, even ii for Il time It procures relief, ere long becomes odious itself

Don't He Touchy.

There are some people always look Ing out for sights. They cannot pay a visit, they cannot receive a friend they cannot carry on the intercourse of the family, without suspecting some offense is designed. They are terribly touchy If they meet an acquaintance in the street who happens to be pre- occupied with business, they attribute his abstraction to some motive per sonal to themselves and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fault of their durability. A fit of in digestion makes them see imperti nences i'll everybody they come in con tact with. Innocent persons who nev CT dreamed of giving offense are as tonished to find some unfortunate word or some momentary taciturnity mis taken for insult. Of course. such q mental condition fs due to too much thinking about self and to an exagger- ated self esteem. even though uneon- scious. The best remedy is to persist ently put thoughts of self out Of mind. Find something more absorbing and more elevating to think about if you are one of the touehy ones. and you'll soon lose the habit

Premiums for Springdale People

From the list of awards made at the Rogers fair, held recently. We note the following Springdale people who were among the win nerS:
 Carl Ownbey's Clifford H. won premiums for the best roadster and also far best saddle stallion.
 W. l.. Pruner, second on best saddle mare.
 Best three year old mare, road ster, G. w. Smith.
 Best Pola1d China male hog, J. $. Ewalt. Sparks and Hoole also carried off a premium with the1r hogs.
 In the fine arts department Miss Maud Blake took first premium with d battenburg dreS- ser scarf: Miss Geraldine Davis drawn work shirt waist and Mrs. C. \. Furry drawn work table cloth; Mrs. Smith second on cen ter piece. The initials are not given, and there are so many Mrs. Smiths in Springdale The News will not undertake to say which IS the fortunate one, so all can claim the honor. Miss Callie PetroSs. first crochet baby cap; Mrs Thad Berry, mount mellick shirt waist; Mrs. F. $. Horton first on tattlng turnover and second on stock collar.
 It Is understood that the fair association lost between S1 .0O0 and S1, 200 this year due largely to the unfavorable weather, and the directors are now considering whether 1t Is best to abandon the fair, sell the property and pay off the indebtedness or levy an assessment to make up the deficit. It would be unfortunate for Rogers to have to abandon her fair.

Press Day the Only Thorn.

Every once i'll d while some cheerful individual remarks to us, well. now that the paper IS out you can take It easy for three or four days. Yes, how delightful 1t Is that a country editor has practically nothing to do between press days. Business runs along automatically. When paper bills become due money drops off the trees with which to pay them. Subscribers vie with each other to see who can pay the fartheSt in advance. Advertisers beg for additional space. And the way news hunts up the editor IS also pleasant to contemplate. There Is something really peculiar about the way news items act. When the paper is out the editor simply goes to his desk and leans back in his easy chair and looks wise and waits for next weeks press day. The day before press day the people line up in front of the office door and then they tile past the desk and tell him all the news of the week. He writes II up in fifteen or twenty minutes, takes it and hangs 1t on the copy hook. The compositors take the copy, shake 1t over the type cases, say few magic words, the type flies into place and after a few passes by the foreman the forms are ready tor the press again. And the editor goes down and deposits some more money Tn the bank. It's the greatest snap III the catalogue. Now If the editor could only do away with the press day his joy would be complete. Ex.

A Storm Above inc GouJ..

Professor John Wise. the eminent aeronaut, who lost his life in making balloon ascension on Sept. 2S. 1879. gave the following description of a thunderstorm which he once viewed from the top side" ..The view of a stormcloud from above is one of the most interesting sights ever beheld by mortal man. \ storm viewed from above the clouds has the appearance of ebullition The upper surface of the cloud k hulged upward and outward and has the resemblance of vast sea of boiling upheaving snow.

The profit of d gold niue depends not on the amount of rock crushed under the stamps but upon the amount of gold which can be extracted from the rock. In similar way the value of food which is eaten does not depend on the quantity which is taken into the stomach but upon the amount of nourishment extracted from 1t by the organs of nutrition and digestion. When these organs are diseased they fail to extract the n0uriShment in sufficient quantities to supply the needS of the several organs Of the body, and these organs cannot work without nourishmeut The result IS heart troubles, liver troubles, and many another ailment. Dr PIerce's Golden Medical Discovery, acting on every organ of the digestive and nutritiye system, restores it to health and yigor. It cures diseases remote from the stomach in which they originated. ''Golden Medical Discovery" contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
