WOMAN'S HANDICAP.

Business with man is permanent
career, an end which he never per-
mits to drop out of sight. With the
average woman it is merely an ex-
pedient. With man, success in bust
ness is all-absorbing, matrimony and
love are incidents. With a woman,
in time love and matrimony become
the real thing in life and business
the incident. Success with the busl-
ness man is satisfying. If the right
woman is a factor or is benefited by
his business success, he counts this
as an added blessing The woman
can not enjoy success alone. She
must share it with some one. This
is the natural outcrOpping Of unset
fshness in the woman. With man
success, or efforts toward success,
dwarf all other feelings. With a
woman sentiment, affection, the I'M
expected assertion of the feminine
nature are liable to imperll her busl-
ness success at any moment.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

BIRDS WORK LONG HOURS
Mems Labor lnconsequent Compared
with Time Put in by Our
Feathered Friends.

"Our hours" said a nature stu
dent, ''are nothing to the birds.
Why, some birds work in summer 10
hours day. Indefatigably they
clear the crops of insects.
"The thrush gets up at 2 80 every
summer morning. He rolls up his
sleeves and falls to work at once, and
he never stops till $3.50 at night. A
clean 10 hours. During that time
he feeds his voracious young 206
times.
'The blackbird starts work at
the same time as the thrush, but he
lays off earlier. His whistle blows
at 7:3O, and during his II hour day
he sets about 100 meals before his
kiddies.
''The titmouse is up and about
by three in the morning, and his
stopping time is nine at night. A
fast worker, the titmouse is said to
feed his young Az meals-meals of
caterpillar mainly-in the long,
hard, hot day."

BAVARIAN DANCE.

Peasants of the upper Bavarlan
Alps are famous for their agility
as dancers. One of their curious
dances is as follows: Eight boys
form a ring in the middle of the
dancing ground. They join hands
firmly as they circle round; every
alternate dancer filings his feet for
ward until his body becomes horl-
zontal and parallel with the ground.
These four then brace their feet to-
gether and, supported by the others
in the ring, they form a rapidly re-
volving cross. After little while
they regain their feet and the others
form the cross.

900 against witness" who ap-
peared at Malvern last week, at
the instance of the prosecutors OF
DR.. Thomas, to testified that he
was Otto Brock. Service has been
secured upon this man, who is a
banker in his home town, and the
result of the trial will be the vindi-
cation of DR.. Thomas, if the suit is
won by him.
But if the suit is lost, if the
charges of his preacher-enemles
are proved true-what will become
of DR.. Thomas? He has been &C
cused of no capital crime, not even
a violation of the law. If he de-
serted a wife and babe i'll Texas
twenty eight years ago, he did
wrong, and yet even that wrong is
not one so great that any state has
provided for its punishment. De
sertion gives the aggrieved party
the right for an action to obtain a
divorce, a right which the wife OF
Otto Brock invoked, long before
DR.. Thomas was married to an Ar
kansas woman.
Imagine, then, that he is
guilty of the charges, is his infamy
so deep that his church will not
forgive him, when his government
would not even punish him. Will
his twenty years of earnest, faith
full and effective service to his
church, of stainless, blameless life,
avail him nothing? In the name
of the Christ for whose principles
the church stands, how long must
a man remain on probationo Is it
not the essence OF Christianity to

Those who wish to live long
should cultivate happiness as duty :;
watch their hair, their teeth and

them in perfectly healthful, active
condition, and, above all, the teeth,
because unless food is properly mas

good. Do not make a habit of taking
things too hot or too cold both are
bad for the teeth. Do not cover the

THAT TAx-ExEMPTION PROPOSITION

Prof. Hinemon, who seems tc
have gotten in ''hot water
through his proposition to exempt
$3.50 in personal property from tax
alton, is now, we understand, at
tempting to defend it by saying
that he would increase the assess
ment of the railroads.
Increasing the railroads taxes
is good old hobby-horse which
every candidate is free to ride, but
in this case we fail to see how it
would help the rural schools,
which if his tax exemption propo-
istion were in effect would be prac-
ticallv destroyed.
Railroads do not run through
ten per cent of the school districts
in the state. Those through which
railroad do not run would derive no
benefit whatever from an increased
assessment of railroads. The same
is true of road districts. The law
now makes each township a sepa-
rate road district and no moi =
collected in one district can be ex-
pended in another.
In Faulkner county there are
four school districts out of a total
of one hundred, and two road dis
tricts out of a total of twenty,
through which a railroad runs.
The increase of railroad taxes
would be help to these districts,
which are already able to care for
themselves, but would be no bene-
fit to the ninety-seven other school
districts and the eighteen other
road districts in the county.
And the fact still remains that
ninety eight per cent of the negroes
of the state would be freed from
taxation.
