4 Resident of Arkansas.

The Arkansas Gazette declares that
Arkansan, as a title for a resident Of
Arkansas, lacks euphony. and asks what
Arkansans should be called. In order 10
retain the accepted pronunciation OF the
states name there appears 10 be no es-
cape from the amplfied appeIlation Ar
kansawyer. Bishop Morris. OF the diocese
Of Little Rock, adopted that form IN a
public address recently, and there is a
newspaper yciept the Arkansawyer al
Stuttgart. In the old days before a leg
ielative decree in favor of calling the
State Arkansaw, there frequently grated
upon the ear harshly the unmusiCal ex-
preston ATkansian. Il was quite as bad
as the kissing sound produced by pro-
nouucing the ultima Of the States name
as sass" In the interest Of easy and
smooth enUciation. as well rs of ac-
curacy. the pronunciation changed, and
residents Of Arkansas ceased to be Ar
kausiaus and became as they are known
t0-day--ATkansans.

asked an old gypsy whose fame as q
sibyl had spread far and wide. The
venerable dame smiled Il sardonic
smile and answered in oracular fash

tomorrow. The only lucky day Is yes
terday.'
But there is a popular rhyme, so pop
ular and so we'll known that perhaps l
ought not to quote it yet again, that
tells us definitely what sort of luck,
good. bad or indifferent, we may ex-
pect according to what day we have
,hosen on which to appear before the
liar of Hymen.
Mondaysfo wealth,
Tuesday for health.
Wednesday the best OF Ill;
Thursday for crosses
Friday for losses,
