cribed the woodman's method OF using
q blanket, however. Lie fiat on your

Now raise your legs rigid from the

over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge un-

The Confederate Organizations.

Recent events at Richmond have centered attention on the surviving Confederate veterans. As the years go by, their ranks are thin ming. According to the best available figures, the number of separate en- listments in the Confederate army was from 1,239,00O to 1,400, 900. But many of these were reenlist- ments, and the terms of service were varied. Reduced to enlistments for a three-years' term of service, the estimated number is 1,082, ,119. There is lack of data upon which to base any trustworthy estimate of the number of survivors.
 The principal association of the surviving soldiers is the United Con federate Veterans, organized at New Orleans on June 10, 1889. This body is divided into the Army of Northern Virginia Department, the Army of Tennessee Department, and the Trans Mississippi Depart ment, each under a department commander. State organizations are authorized, and are called divi- sions. The number of separate camps is about 1.600, and the num- Der of members about 75,000. There were.1 ,259 camps represented at the Richmond reunion. Permanent headquarters of the association are at New Orleans, La.---From "The Souths Care for Her Confederate Veterans" by William A.

RAILROADS GOOD FAITH

The Kansas City Southern railroad has in past months been expending large sums in Fort Smith prepara- tory to improving its terminals ir that city. Because its officials did not definitely announce all theif plans there was strong effort to handicap the road in securing cer- tain needed concessions. In encour- aging the people of Fort Smith tc have more confidence in the good faith of the Kansas City Southern, the Times says:
 '1The case of Mena may be cited ir this connection. Mena was disturbed for year or more by rumors of changes in the main line of the Kansas City Southern by which that thriving towr would be left off the main line, if not wholly abandoned. The company gave repeated assurance to the contrary but still the surveys and the alarniists kept the town in ferment and paralyzec the energy of it's citizens.
 This continued until few months ago when President Edson and other officials of the company paid specia visit to Mena, called together the lead. ing citizens, members of it's commer- cial organization, and gave them posi- tive assurance that the relations be- tween the company and the city would not under any circumstances be dis turbed.
 Since then. Mena has been relieved of all apprehension and has resumed it's strides towards growth and i'm provement.
 And now Mena is sure of big railroad hospital and there are other good things coming soon that will add much to its growth and pros. peritv

Vacations for Mothers, Too.

People who work for themselves, especially mothers, often glory in not taking a vacation, in staying at home, in sticking solidly to what they believe to be their duty. To you, my conservative reader, vaca- tion is just as necessary as it is to the tired teacher or the faithful clerk; and for the same reason that you may do more work when you do work, and do it more effec- lively. The duty which holds you will be better performed. the home that you are guarding will be better kept, and the cheerfulness, and courage, and optimism which you need, will be more readily sum- if you take time---not next year. but in the remaining weeks of this very summer---to drink in the of new faces, new land scapes and new experiences.

Burlington to Grant ? Cent Rate.

The announcement of the Bur lington railroad that it will soon put in 2.cent passenger rates over its entire system may mean that this corporation believes that the time has come to make lower passenger rates general or it may mean merely that the 2-cent experiment is to be made broad enough to demonstrate practically and finally whether this rate is profitable or confscatory. In either event, the departure will be watched with interest, especially as it will almost inevitably force competing lines to make similar re- ductions. In the meantime the important fact is that a great rail- way system believes that it can afford to maxe this experiment of a one-third reduction in passenger rates. Kansas City Times.

nENA COMING TO HER OWN

The news of the improvements and enlargements to be made in Mena by the Kansas City Southern railroad can have but one meaning Mena is coming to her own.
 Since the post-mortem exercises were held on March 9 last over the remains of the rumors of Mena's ruin by the removal of the main line of the railroad, every movement of of the officials of the Southern that has had to do with Mena has been to prove that she was favored city on the line and was to grow and pros per as time went on.
 As the growth of a rolling snow ball is multiplied as its size increases, SO will the interest of the railroad in Mena multiply with each addition in it's holdings here. The larger the interest of the railroad in Mena the faster will it grow, and nothing short of lack of interest in Mena's future and dissension among her own people can prevent her growth and prosperity.
 Mena is coming to her own.
