PNul7a6 Prisoners.

Paying Prisoners
The state of Oklahoma has been receiving a
world wide reputation of late account Of the rad
ica ideas embodied in her proposed constitution. 1t
is now stated that the lawmakers of that state
template passing measure which will provide for
the payment of fifty per cent of prisoners earnings
to his family. No doubt this provision will meet
with the hearty approval of many of those who are
in position to know Of the intense hardship en-
tailed in the home where the bread winner is confined
IN pententary and it will also meet with consid-
cradle opposition by those who imagine that such a
course is futile extravaganza, encouragement to
criminal propensties.
There good many level-head persons to-
day who question the states to deprive innocent
of the necessares of life by such procedure
As it is, in the vast majority of cases. the prisoner
pays many fold to the state the actual value of
the article he has purloined. Therefore, it seems
logical that part of his earnings should go toward
the support of his family, if in needy circumstances.
The people of Oklahoma may be Quixotic but they
are exhibiting considerable horse sense just the
same their critics to the contrary notwithstanding

A Most Valuable Agent,

The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and antferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry bark Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queens root, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recommended by stand ard medical authorities.

BETTER not cry any more! Tears are all right in stories but in real life, what's the use? Better learn to hide your woes. No one wants to hear of them. Learn to laugh. Iris a better tonic for that weary feeling, than any a first rate doctor can pre- scribe. Life's too short and health too precious to spoil by croaking or by setting up some trouble or sorrow as a heather does his God, and in season and out of season, clinging to it as though through it happiness could come. Meet your friends with 8 laugh and don't get discouraged if they do not appreciate it at first. They will in time, for good humor is catching and the first thing you know even the hypochondriac will be edging around to get within the circle of your pleasant smile. A funny story or a good joke is worth more than a good dose of olive oil or soothing syrup; providing you catch the point. Some one will be benefited any way, though it may be the story teller who will get double dose be- eausb of your obtuseness. Yes you had better cut them out. Tears are not worth the salt that's in them.

A PLAIN TALK.

There will be no further string ency if the people cooperate with the banks by allowing their funds to remain on deposit, to be used in furthering the demands of trade. On each individual rests due share of responsi- bility. Every five dollar bill hidden away in a safe deposit box contributes it's share toward making hard times. This fact cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the general public. If each person will do his part, however small it may be, to keep the money in circulation, the aggre- gate amount will be enormous, and cannot fail to relieve the ex- isting stringency. Events now indicate that citizens are begin ming to better understand the real situation, and to realize that there is no logical reason for any lack of confidence in the banking institutions of the country. Banks and trusts companies have had an exceedingly prosperous year, and are in splendid shape financially. That they adopted drastic measures to maintain their cash supply up to the nor- nal limit speaks well for the sagacity of the bankers. Such action was for the good of the business interests generally, and therefore was for the benefit of the people as whole. This is an important truth everyone should bear in mind.
 Instead of criticising the bank CT for doing as he did, and com- blaming that his course worked great inconvenience to the public, he should be earnestly thanked for taking hold of matters with strong hand, and So averting further calamity. He was the skilled financial physician, whose medicine, while not always pal atable, still was decidedly effective. The banker considers each depositor friend, and ex- poets friendly cooperation in placing affairs upon a footing that will be satisfactory to all concerned. The outlook is daily growing brighter, and the new year no doubt will open auspici- ously.

AS the trials of life thicken and the dreams of other days fade one by one into the deep vista of disappointed hopes, the heart grows weary of the strug- gle and we begin to realize our insignificance. Those who have climbed the steep ladder which reaches the pinnacle of fame, or those who have reveled in lux ury and wealth, go to the grave at last with the mendicant who begs pennies by the wayside and like himself, are soon forgotten We pass away as the morning vapors, while nature wears the aspect of beauty as when her Creator commanded her to be. The Heavens will be as bright over our graves as they are now around our path. The world will have the same attractions for our off spring yet unborn that she has once had for ourselves and has now for our children. Yet a little while and all of this will have happened. The world will continue to move on, and laugh ter will be heard in the very chamber in which we died; the the eye that mourns for us will be dry and glisten with pleasure, Even our children will cease tc think of us and will not remem- Der to lisp our name when we are gone. Still let us not grieve; tc be forgotten is the common fate of all.

.PRECEDENTs SMASHED
Senator Jeff Davis Makes His
 Great Anti I rust Speech
COMMENTED ON EVERYWHERE
Criticisms from Democratic Pa
 pers. An Amusing Feature

The precedent breaking, trust- bursting speech of Senator Jeff Davis in the United States senate on the 11th instant has been the occasion of comment in almost every character of newspaper in the United States. The criti- cisms are very bitter in some in . stances, even in so-called Demo- cratic papers, while others take more liberal view of the fiery tongued orator from Arkansas and find some merit in the speech.
 The most amusing feature of it, however, is the manner employed in commenting upon the speech by some eastern newspapers.
 The New York Journal calls him the grandson of the Presi- dent of the Confectionery, prints his picture with broad smile and the following facts about "the sen satiop of the United States Senate," Jefferson Davis, "who laughs at traditions:"
 He is 6 feet 2 inches tall in his stocking feet and as broad across the chest as Jeffries.
 He is smooth shaven, broad featured, with a jolly expression, but he says he'd rather fight than eat.
 He is grandson of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Con- federate States. He violated all moth- eaten traditions of the Senate by delivering a fiery speech nine days after he took his seat. e.
 Here are some of his utter ances that startled his dignified senatorial confreres: .-=
 'I don't propose to remain in silence in my seat until my head grows gray and my body is bent with age.
 "The Standard Oil Company is the worst of all the wicked trusts in the country.
 'tThe trusts now control every thing except acorns and persim- mons.
 I've got President Roosevelt beaten a city block so far as race suicide is concerned. I've got eight children and he has only five.
 ''I hate the Standard Oil so bitterly that l can't bear the smell of petroleum.
 ''I want it understood that I am always for the under dog.
 "H. o. Havemeyer, that great sugar king, has gone to his re- ward. Be it good or evil, l don't know. but one thing is certain he has gone to that land and that cline were, like St. Peter. he does not take sugar in his'n."

THE Tribune will have to take back what it said about the sus- pension of the Daily Times Echo at Eureka Springs. The change to the "Record" was only an emergency measure, during the reorganization of the company. The Times Echo is coming out flow the same as of yore, and looks strong and hearty. May it's shadow never grow less!

 Frank Rawlins and wife, nee Miss Edith Hanna, will spend the holidays in Berryville. They re- side at Dallas, Texas.

 The wife of J. E. Mason, . prominent farmer residing on Kings river seven miles south west of Berryville. died last Fri day.
 After an absence of ten years in California, George Hanna and wife arrived in Berryville Sum- day to make this their future home.
 The Masonic Lodge has elected the following new officers: w. s. Grim, w. M.; Henry Ball, s. w.; Robert Ramey, J. w.; Baker Clarke, Secretary, and B. O. George, Treasurer. They will be installed Dec. 27.

All deeply sympathize with him in the loss of his estimable wife who died near Oceola, Mo-, last week. After 8 few days visiting with relatives at Eureka Springs he returned to his ministerial work in Missouri. He is . Missionary for a Baptist Association and has been having phenomenal success in the work.
 After few days visit with rel. atives and friends, A. A. Davis left Wednesday to accompany his mother to Brownsville, Texas, on the extreme southern coast, where they will spend the winter. Austin can certainly make him. self interesting to his friends as he has constantly travelled during the past five years in every state and territory in the union, visited over 200 cities with population of more than 15, ,000, been in every province in Canada and explored a large part of Mexico. He is preparing manuscripts on many historical and famous places and expects to have it printed in four large volumes.
