DOOMED TO FAILURE.

''That young woman will never attain society leadership said a fashionable matron at a recent din- ner party, referring to an exceed ingly prepossessing girl in her sec- ond or third season.
 "Why not?" her companion asked. 'She is pretty, accomplished, viva cious enough, and her family is all right"
 "All true enough" was the matron's positive response. "But this is the third time this season that I have been in company where she was present and I have never seen her conversing for more than 15 seconds with any one but her es- cort. Any woman who is guilty of that is doomed to failure. She may make a good wife or mother-but society leader, no. I've seen too much of it."

LONG PURSE NEEDED FOR WAR

When we turn to cannon we can realize the money cost of war from the fact that the appropriation just made by congress for an experi- mental 14-inch gun is $132,O ,OOO. That is, the type piece to be used ex- perimentally will cost that sum. A single gun to-day often calls for what would have been deemed "a handsome private fortune" in the simpler days of our land. This constantly increasing money cost of war is one of the great influences that make for peace. Only very rich nations can indulge in the lux ury of making war, when it is nec- essary to load every musket with gold as we'll as lead. The long range purse counts more than the long-range rifle, and it is the reali- zation of this truth more than re- fection on the horrible effect of new inventions that disposes military powers to ponder on the possibility of general disarmament.

It seems now that Attorney Gen

It seems now that Attorney Gen. eral Kirby is the goat in the state capitol muddle. The commission CTS say that there is enough money ill the treasury to the credit of the capitol fund to complete the build ing, but they are unwilling to spend without MT. Kirby's assent, as only one million dollars has been appropriated by the legisla- ture. But if the commissioners had been equally careful in the past and abided by the original plans, the capitol could have been completed without overdrawing the original appropriation. Cald- well & Drake, however, must have some excuse for delay, and a leg islature may finally be elected which will pass their graft bill.

PLAY A NECESSITY OF LIFE.

The gospel of play will, we are confident, win for itself hearing as the gospel of wholesomeness and fuller life. It will go far to create a better race of many beings, bet ter social state and throw a new light on the piety of grimness and "other worldliness. What we have said has been applied mainly to city life, to the overpacked and unnatur- al crowd but it is applicable in modified form to country life. The people who live among the trees and brooks do get, in spite of them selves, certain relaxation, yet they need what they do not get-the use- less sport, the utter relief for portion of each day from trying to make ends meet" ."-Independent.

"THE GREATEST EVIL OF TODAY"

Baseball" says MT. M. J Rus sell of Austin, Ark. in a commit nication printed in another col umn, "is the greatest evil ot to- day. There may be some who will be inclined to regard this as sertion as rather too sweeping, but there are doubtless some who will agree with MT. Russell. There are those who believe liquor, gam bling. corrupt politics, graft, war, treason or perhaps murder are evils of greater magnitude than the game of baseball, but not so Mir. Russell. To him 1t appears the greatest evil of the age! The aw- ful results of this grim terror which is stalking abroad ill our land are pictured by him in manner truly startling. It Is slowly but certain ly destroying our fair land, and unless the next legislature rushes to the rescue and absolutely ban ish it from our borders, our de struction will surely and soon be accomplished.
 But, seriously, the question as to whether baseball is or is not an evil ought to be easily settled in the minds of anyone who will al- low sense of fairness to predomi- nate his intellect. There is noth- ing essentially wrong in the game of baseball. It is simply form of amusement or pastime. The ques- ton then is, are all forms of amuse- ment harmful? In other words, IS it wrong for one to do anything other than work and attend church? Should all of our week

TRICK OF THE PROPHET.

The prophet Mahomet was a great man in his way, but, like nearly all the priests of ancient times, he was not above practicing tricks to gain and hold the confidence of his followers. You have all heard of his dove, which would sit on his shoulder and seem to be talking in his ear. Mahomet claimed that the Holy Ghost took the form of the bird to give him inspiration, but the truth is that the willy prophet had taught the dove to eat wheat out of his ear.

OUR GUESTS.

Conway is extending a hearty welcome to our guests, the dele gates to the state convention of the Farmers Educational and Coop erative Union of America. These gentlemen are representatives of a great organization, the greatest economical and fraternal organiza- tion, indeed, that exists in the south today.
 We want these gentlemen to see the best that is in our little city, which we have come to believe is very beautiful and very progressive. We want them to see the future home of the great state normal school and the present home ot two of the finest colleges in the state. We want them to remem- Der Conway as good place in which to live, should they ever desire to change their homes, and to remember 1t has an educational center when they are ready to edu- cate their children. And we cor dially welcome them, not only for these reasons, but because we are glad to have them with us, and we trust that their brief stay here witt be most pleasant and profitable.

He Was Overdue,

The master of large southern plan.
tation would fire of a small cannon
every evening at 9 o'clock as a signal
to the people living on his land. One
evening at the time for the usual boom
the master was away. Two of his ne
groes, John and Jim, had long desired
to fire the cannon, but had never had
chance to do so. They decided to
make the trial on this afternoon, but
thought that 1t would be best for them
to have the cannon make no sound. ],
was decided that Jim should hold a
water bucket over the mouth Of the
cannon while John applied the fuse.
The piece was touched off, there was q
great boom, and John looked up to find
that his friend was gone.
When the master returned John was
very busy in the field. "John," said he,
where is JimT'
He went down to the spring after q
bucket Of watch, sah."
when is he coming backT
swell, sab, If he come back like he
went, he's sure due heah now."-Phll-

The Lint of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-

that the. generally accepted limitation
OF human life is many years below
the attainment possible with the ad-
vanced knowledge Of which the race
Is now possessed. The critical period,
that determines Its duration, seems
to be between so and go; the proper
care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.

What Strawberries Really Are.

The pulpy portion of the strawberry
Is not really fruit nor even a berry
but Is a cluster Of dry seeds slightly
imbedded in mass Of pulp. The little
seeds are the true fruit. 1t is surpris.
Ing that the pulp enlarges: that II does
not remain small and dry. By some
wise provision Of nature the pollen not
only directly gives life to each seed on
which 1t falls, but also stimulates lie
surrounding portion Of the receptacle
Originally small and hard) to grow into
the soft, juicy and lustrous form.-St.

Wouldn't Tip, So He Grew a Beard.

/ knew a man who was u conscien.
tious objector to tipping BARRIERS and
could not shave himself. He told me
once that, according to careful calcula-
ton, he had been forced to travel con-
siderably more than 100 miles during
one year In order to find new barber
shops where his unbending attitude on
the tip question was unknown and to
spend rather more than f5 in bus and
cab fares in doing so. Finally, having
exhausted the whole Of inner London
and most Of the suburbs, he had to
give up the struggle and grow a beard.

PLANTING TROUT.
One Point on Which the Old Man
Wanted More Liqht.

Wanted More Light.
1t was the policy of the officers of a
certain railroad line in all their adyer-
tlslng matter to place great stress on
the excellence Of the trout fishing to be
reached by their lines, and In order to
provide the trout 1t was necessary from
time to time to plant the advertised
streams with fry.
On one occasion an old gardener
named Conelly, who had charge of
the station grounds, was sent out with
the cans. Of fry, procured from the
state hatchery, and a railroad map
marked to show exactly where to plant
the tiny fish.
Conelly returned that night, however,
with part Of the fry still implanted.
He needed further instructions from
the general passenger agent, who had
marked the map.
"Say, mister" said Conelly, scratch
ing his perplexed head with one hand
and pointing to the can with the other,
"shall l plant thin fish wild the tails
up or DOWN.
why" shouted the irasclble agent,
"you laundering blockhead'-
"Aisy, aisyp murmured Conelly.
"Orm no such blockhead as .ye'd think.
The shpot on the map where ye towld
me to plant thin trout Is all billed
down to mud. II thin small fish is to
go in that sthream at all, at all, tits
wan by wan they'll have to go In, like
banes. All I'm askin' is this, Is It

In boring for artesian water on the
Hutchinson farm near North Powder
this week, the we'll borers encounter
ed two tree trunks about IS inches in
diameter at a depth of 225 feet. The
timber was so well preserved that it
could be easily determined that one
was a fir and one a common "bull"
pine. Large quantities of the wood
were brought up by the boring ma
chine and the incident caused much
speculation among geologists, The
trees were encountered in river bot
tom land not far from the present
channel of Little Powder river.
