Rogers, Ark, Dec. 25.-Ed. News: This is Christmas day and having just read the Christ mas issue of The News, I feel like writing a few lines for your valuable paper. think your Christmas issue reflects much credit upon you as newspaper editor and proprietor. It was certainly an up to date issue, and I certainly did enjoy reading the letters from your strayed off cor respondents. Many of them 1 knew personally. For instance, John B. Gill. 1 was acquainted with him in my better days, also Charlie B. Phillips, and their letters were all extra good, but the one from MT. Hale, from Pittsburg, Kansas, takes the cake for originality and sincerity.
 cut his letter and poetry out and asked the Rogers Democrat to publish it. Mr. Hale IS true blue Arkansawyer, and the whole state should feel proud of such noble sons who will hold up for the grand old state of their nativity, notwithstanding the fact they may be located in other states where the majority of their people have no better knowledge of Us than to believe all the hard rhings that are said about Arkansas.
 It is true that most people wear no socks, that IS from about 9 p. I'll. until to 6 d. Ill. It is also true that there are many people in Arkansas who let their hogs sleep in the house, but they are invariably nicely salted away in the smokehouse, so you see the more hogs that sleep in the bouses of Arkansas the better off she IS.
 'Tis easy to criticise; any fool can do 1t. But did you ever hear a wise man criticise a fool? We can we'll afford to sacrifice money when necessary; but principle never. We should be careful not to grieve over the wicke dness of others. Let Us watch our selves, always remembering a smile does more in many instances than all the preaching. If We had more help religion in this country and less pray religion we would have a sight more true christians. But fellow can pray on much less investment than he can help. Prayers nor words of praise never did clothe the back and feed the hungry. If the Lord intended that the chief end of man was to make his brother happy we are quite sure that the majority of the in- ha abitants Of this country haven't worn much off of that end yet.
 Lives of great men all remind We can make our lives sublime,
 And in parting leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.
 There is considerable good in the worst of Us and entirely too much bad III the best of Us, then let our religion be help for the living and hope for the dead.

SLEW MOTHER
TO TERMINATE
SUFFERINGS2
Mrs. Wallau May Have
Yielded to Petitions
for Death.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1S-The theory
that the poisoning Of wealthy old Mrs.
Ida Binge, for which her daughter.
Mrs. Lottie Wallau. IS held IN the
Tombs on the charge OF murder. was
prompted by q humane desire to relieve
the aged woman OF her suffering. IS
gaining weight today.
Mrs. Binge suffered from cancer
which was gradually eating her life
out. She Often begged 10 be given some
thing that would relieve her forever. 90
1t Is said that she repeatedly cried:
If a dog breaks its leg, you kin IL;
why don't you extend the same human
ity 70 me-"
The detectives and officers OF the
district attorneys office have found no
other motive for the killing Of the old
lady. Her daughter IS wealthy and
does not need her mothers fortune.
With gathering support the theory that
some member Of the household sue
cumbed to the pleadings OF Mrs Binge
and placed the biChloride of mercury in
her champagne, with a purely humanl-
tartan purpose. is being considered by
officials.
When Mrs. Wallau was arrested by
the coroner she was committed 10 the
Tombs. where she is held on the charge
Of murder in the first degree. She is
composed, and was accompanied TO the
prison door by her husband and son.

disappointing, yet not more so than
might have been expected. The amount
OF United States bonds now outstanding
is so small and the field for their en-
ployment is so large that as a general
rule the holders Of the bonds would
rather have them than the money which
they can be sold for. And when the
bonds mature and no longer carry in
terest II will probably be found that
several millions Of them will not be
presented for payment for several
months. This has been the experience
of the Treasury Department with all
the bonds that have maturcd during
the past forty years.
