All through the ages the ruby has
been called the stone of good luck .Ac-
cording to the old stories, whoever
owned a ruby would never fail in any
thing he undertook, for that beautiful
jewel held In its glowing red heart a
magic power which always brought
success. No matter how dangerous the
task, the ruby was sure to give eour-
age and victory. In the days of an
cient Greece when the rich man wish
ed to express to a friend good wishes
for wealth or honor he sent to httn a
ruby engraved with the figures of an
orator. Today the ruby is considered
the lnekiest Of stones, though tae bod
fortune, as we see it, lies in the sen-
ing ot anything So precious, l1sf ven
the diamond is not SO va liable A gsm.
The ruby is the stone OF July. aiqd the
fire which abides ia its red heart is
truly typical of that burning moath OF
summer According to legend. hoRev

A Michigan man tells grimiy hu-

after hard winter in the lumber
camps, appeared in the streets af one
Of the larger towns ready and an11ous
to have a good time" This lumber
man had with him the sum of $50a the
proceeds Of his seasons labor-a sum
for which he had toiled and shaved and
risked his life in the lumber jams. en-
during the while all the discomfprts

With the $500 thus painfully annassed
the lumberman sought the comparative

Brush Your Eyebrows.

Do you ever brush your eyebrows?
You look after your hair and hands
with religious care. But perhaps it
never occurs to you that your eyebrows
might be improved by little atten-
ton. Buy soft little eyebrow brush,
made especially for this purpose, and
night and morning brush the brows in
the way they should go. If they aren't
going the right way then train thar2 to.
Suppose they are too thin. Then Keep
handy a little sweet almond oil and
before brushing put a few drops Of
this OH the finger tip and gently rub
it into the eyebrow. If the lashes are
short and scanty do the same thing to
them. Treatment of this sort ought to
make noticeable difference in Il few
months. A very simple tonic for the
eyebrows is composed of red vaealtne
and boric acid, five grains of the for
mer to five of the latter. Make into a
smooth paste and apply at night.

STATE TEACHERS' MEETING
County Examiner Forrest Urges Teachers
 to Attend Association.

The Arkansas State Teachers Association will meet at Little Rock December 26, 2 and 2S. MT. F. w. Miller, the president, has arranged an interesting program. Every problem connected with our school system will be thoroughly discussed. The rural school sec ton and the high school and col lege section will each be handled with much ability. Our teachers, both from the country and from the town can get many advantages by attending this association.
 Faulkner county made fine record in attendance last year At the close of the session our enroll ment exceeded that of any other county except Pulaski. It is our purpose to hold this record. We are so located that we can give a large enrolment. The railroad fare from Conway will be about SIPS, round trip. The hotels will give reduced rates. The entire cost of the trip can be mere trifle. The social feature of the association IS always worth the cost. It is a treat to meet teachers from all over the state.
 If we can not attend, let us send the membership fee, one dollar, which will make us a member and entitle us to copy of the proceed ings.
 I am expecting the pleasure of meeting a large number of teachers from this county at this the Soth session of our association.

SElFlSHNESS OF THE SNOB.

The snob cultiyates a man or a woman, not because he expects to get a job or a loan out of either. but because he thinks either can help him along into society's elect. He cuts a former acquaintance because the unfortunate person seems to be of no use in his own social ad- vancement. He suppresses the im- pulse that may lead him to dislike useful people and like useless ones just as the ambitious bank clerk SUD- presses his small extravagances, his fondness for the race track. Be- cause social position seems to him so important he admires excessive ly those who have it and snubs those whose position he deems inferior to his own.-N. Y. Mail.

WANTS A STEEL BRIDGE
K. K. Wilkerson Urges Need of Structure
 Across Palarm Creek

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 As there are some improvements that are needed to be done in the way of bridge building, at the county's expense, this humble scribe would like to submit a few thoughts on this line. Be 1t un- derstood that this is only by way of suggestion. Being a tax payer we feel interested in these matters.
 There is needed new bridge on the Palarm creek where the Beebe road crosses, which will soon have to be built out of some kind of ma terial. The question arises, what kind of material would be best and cheapest We take the position that a steel bridge would be the cheapest in the long run and all will agree that 1t would be the best. I don't believe a steel bridge would cost over four times as much as a wooden bridge and would last more than that many times as long.
 Some may say we are in debt and are not able to do costly inn provements and will have to make out on something cheaper until we are in a better financial condition.
 I want to ask, which is best, the cheaper way of building bridg- es and doing public work-doing 1t so that in that just in a short time it will have to be done over again or that which IS more costly and durable, when to do 1t in any way it will have to be done on a ere dit by the county.
 Surely the debts of the county are not hurting us very much yet, judging from the price of scrip. We don't think a S45 ,ooo debt is very great, when we have an as sessed valuation of property of l s GOO, 900, and property iucreas- i ing all the time in value There never has been a time in the histo- " of the county that land was sell ing as high as now.
 So we believe III making our public improvements better and more permanent in order that we may keep pace with the progress that is being made on every line.
 Yours, a tax payer, K. K WILKERSON.

TAKE THE PLEASANT SIDE.
Frsnkness Does Not Compel Telling of
 Unpleasine Truths.

Some people seem to be very much afraid of telling pleasant truths.
 They apparently consider that to be honest they must be disagreeable, and that to be frank means only to he brutal. as well as callous, to the sufferings which franknesses may cause.
 Now, there are numerous ways ot speaking the truth as well as looking it.
 To be truthful, need not mean to be unpleasing.
 We can be honest without making ourselves hated and summed because of our brutal candor
 Unpleasant truths may often be suppressed without loss of rectitude or, If compelled to speak them, We may consistently show the pleasing side. and leave the nearer to find out for himself, if he must know 1t, that there is an unpleasant side as well.
 For there is always more than one side to truth. Two sides at least can be seen by the most simple minded person, and those whose minds are complex can readily see many sides to the same question.
 ''Her hands are too big for her gloves" comments the candid friend.
 "Oh, no: she only makes a little mistake in buying her gloves size too small" Is the way the peace maker says the same thing" says Woman's Life.
 Now, if one side is always more pleasing than the other, why, the question may be asked, Is 1t not more honorable to choose always the pleasant side to present to friends
 Why deprive the world of a joy we might have given when we do not hasten to speak the pleasant truth :
 Happiness is a quality of which We might obtain a larger share than usual if we determined to discover the pleasing side of the most m- pleasant truths.

EXPENSIVE EMERY.

A German publisher has embark ed on a press campaign against wom- en's fnery. Ridicule and exposure are to be the weapons of offense. Statistics will doubtless play their part in the good work. It will be known throughout the reading world just what Mines. X, Y and Z of Paris, New York or London pay for evening gowns, demitoilette and the like, and the, sums will be con- verted into terms of coffee and rolls. It will thus be proved that these great ladies wear, say, 100000 breakfasts apiece on their backs.

clergyman will require different food stimulus from the farmer, and each will require a change of menu with a change in work or in eli mate. The proper food for a chick en depends on the kind of work 1t has to do-lay eggs, mott, or make fat; on the weather conditions, and on its natural characteristics. The food question is an individual problem with man and beast.
 There are, however. well-estab- lished general principles for feed- ing poultry, whether for egg pro duction or for fattening. The grains, whole, cracked, or as meal, are natural food, and mixtures of corn, oats, wheat, barley, etc, are to be determined by intelligent ex- pertinent. Certain things, as plenty of clean, fresh water, sup ply of grit and an abundance of green food, are essential in all feeding.
 The amount Of range necessary for chickens depends largely on the purpose for which the flock is maintained. Mrs. Hen is a natur- al roamer and does not enjoy wire limitations. But the exercise of walking is not conducive to taking on flesh. It has been roughly es timated that ,ooo chickens may be comfortably kept on an acre of ground. Different runways, how ever, should be maintained and the flock not kept on the same ground all of the time, or diseases will germinate.

BOX RENTS TO BE PAID
Postmaster 0 J. Owen Receives Notice
 From Department to That Effect.

Postmaster O. ]. Owen is in re- ceipt of the following order relative to box rents, from Acting Postmas- ter General F. H. Hitchcock:
 Washington D. C., Nov. s. Box rents rates have been fixed heretofore upon no established basis, with the result that at certain large postofhces rates are lower than at many of the small offices; that the charge for small boxes is in many cases higher than that which should be made for large boxes; that rents are sometimes collected at the same rate for boxes of all sizes; and that at postoffices of like class, in the same vicinity, equipped with similar box rents are collected at widely different rates. In order to remedy these conditions and to provide definite and satisfactory rule for the collec- tion of box rents, the following schedule, based upon the kind and capacity of the boxes and the gross receipts of post offices, has been adopted and will strictly be adher- ed to by the Department in the es- tablishment of II box rent rates from and after January I, 1907"
 This ruling" says MT. Owen, Twill greatly affect the rates of this office. Lock boxes heretofore rented at 5 cents per quarter will hereafter be rented at 45 cents per quarter. Medium sized lock boxes heretofore rented at 50 cents per quarter will hereafter be rented at 50 cents per quarter. Lock draw CTS the smaller size will be the same as heretofore. The large lock drawers located at the bottom and known as Waters drawers here tofore rented at $ cents per quar- ter will hereafter be rented at ST co per quarter.
 The Department further directs that the rents on all boxes be paid by the first day of each quarter. All those who have boxes rented at present and fail to pay for the next quarter by Jan. I, 1907 will have their mail put in the general delivery and their boxes will be closed promptly on that date.
 Bear in mind that the postmas- ter gets no part of these rents and has absolutely no right to permit one to be used without having first been paid for in advance, no more than he has to sell his stamps on credit. Everybody will be notified ten days before hand and if on Jan. you fail to find your mail in the box call at the general delivery -
