At a meeting Of the State Pen itentiary Board Tuesday 200 con
 victs were leased at the same old price of $1 ,oO per day. the state paying their bord and lodging. Thanks to Attorney General Kirby for voting against 1t. He says he voted against the con tract for general reasons and for three special reasons. The first is that working the convicts on the railroads Of the state is a bad advertisement. The second is that it puts the convict labor of the state in direct competition
 with free labcr. The. third req
 son is that if the convicts must be leased in orser to support the Arkansas Pea.tentiary, the state should receive the same price for their labor as received by the free labor. Free labor is being worked right alongside the con victs, at Sl.15 per day, and in ad
 dition to that the guards feeds and cares for the convicts, out of S1.OO per day received. Gov. Little was elected on platform to change the system of leasing conyicts and 1t is deplorable ac- cident to the state that circtirin- stances over which he has no control has kept him from carry. ing out the will of the people.

 Friends of the Indian will re- jolce in the fact that the lives of countless redskins will be saved by the recent arrest of a thirteen year-old Massachusetts boy. He had dug up the hatchet, struck 1t deep into the war post, and started for the far, far West. His armament was an air rifle, a razor, pair of brass knuckles, two toy pistols and sword. He had riin away from his home, and his mission was the extermi- nation Of Indians. But he had thoughtlessly omitted to put any wampum in his pocket or any parched corn and peihmican in his pouch. He got hungry, ap- piled for help ata police station, and there his romance ended.

National Drink RilI

The people of the United SteteS during the year 1906 paid out more for drinks, (aside from water and other naturally provid ed drinks) more money than the Fifty eighth Congress appropri- ated for all purposes combined.
 The statement seems astund ing yet according to accurate figures just issued it seems to be absolutely true,
 The country was astounded when Congress paid out $1,000, : 600, ,000 fronafbe national treas nry Yet the people of this coun- try paid for alcoholic and non alcoholic stimulants the sum of s1 ,667, ,083, ,61o. <.
 This is certainly agreat thirst, even for 8 nation of people, an average of Sl7:a4 per capita, or SSo. 70 for each family of five.
 According to the statistics just issued the money paid for sach drinks is divided as. follows
 Alcoholic drinks S1 ,450, 655, ,448 Coffee -.-.-......-..-.. 160, ,o45. .2335 Tea 46, ,282, 929 Cocoa 5000. .O0O
 This list it will be seen is ex- elusive of all temperance drinks sold and consumed during the summer and winter months, which would probably swell the grand total millions more.
 For the first time in history the consumption of beer in this country exceeds that Of coffee. During 1906 this nation drank 1899. .895642 gallons of beer and 634 ,667 ,023 gallons of coffee.
 The amount expended for this class of drinks ex ceeded the value of any cereal crop raised in the United States during l{06.

4 Minnesota farmer who has tried the experiment gives the following directions for killing of the troublesome weeds along the roadside; 'Take 20 cents worth of white clover seed, 10 cents worth of blue grass seed, mix thoroughly and SOW on both sides of the road. Let every farmer do this and SOW the high ways surrounding his land and in two or three years the result will surprise anyone This grass mixture will spread and kill all weeds. Only 50 cents worth of seed will SOW mile of highway. The same process will clean the weed out of city lots"

He Never Blaalei the Booze

He took a bottle up to bed,
 Drank whiskey hot each night, Drank cocktails in the morning,
 But never could get tight. He shivered in the evening
 And always had the blues, Until he took a bowl or two But he never blamed theFbOoze. His joints were full of rheumatic His appetite was slack; ,~41 -s< He had pains in his head,
 Clills run down his back, < He suffered with insomnia,
 At night he coulden' n't@sflooze, He said it was the climate
 But he never blamed the booze His constitution was run down,
 At least that's what he said: His legs were swelled each morn 2 And he often had swell head, He tackled beer, wine, whiskey, And if they diden't fuse, He blamed it to dyspepsia But he never blamed the, booze. He said he couldn't sleep at night
 And always had bad dreams; He clamed he always laid awake
 Till early sunrise beams; He thought it was malaria,
 Alas; twas but ruse; He blamed it unto everything -
 But never blamed the booze.

The recent legislature enacted a law fixing 75c per day as a rate to be paid for feeding priso- ners confined in county jails. This seems to us to have been an unwarranted interference with local self government, and we can see no reason why this mat ter should not be left to the dis cretion of the county judges of the several counties. St Francis county has been paying soc per day or S15 per month, for feeding prisoners, and we understand this rate is satifactory to all con cerned and will be continued, Senator DeRositt introduced a bill to repeal the new law, but his bill was defeated. The county furnishes the house, water, lights and everything but the actual victuals, fuel and cooking, and no doubt there is some profit in feed ing prisoners at soc per day. Judge F'olbre made four trips to Little Rock in the interest of having this bill defeated, and be- sides introducing the bill above mentioned, Senator DeRossitt worked hard to pass a similar re peaiing bill which came up from the lower house, but to no avail.

Corn and Cow Peas

One of the finest forage crops for dairy cows is corn and peas. Some merely SOW the corn and peas broadcast together, sowing about one half bushel of each per acre. A better way is to drill or check in the corn and plant the peas at the same time. This gives an opportunity for cultivation and supplies a much better quality of forage. Wait until the ground becomes thoroughly warmed up and then use some early dent va riety of corn. When grown in this manner the peas find support on the corn stalks and the crop may be harvested the same as ordinary corn fodder. Cut the crop before frost and set in bun dies in small shocks sothat it will cure out nicely. The mistake is frequently made in making the shocks too large and some of the inner bundles are liable to mould A combination crop of this kind will supply a splendid amount of good feed and the peas will be helpful in keeping soil fertility.

Some Wives Are Different,

Most men," said the man of expert encc, think it must be awfully nice to have a wife who takes things as cool ly as Dave potter's wife takes them. but others. more discriminating, prefer a good honest TOW to her style of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she found letter in Dave's pocket from girl in Brooklyn is an example of her method.

The AxiaI Rotation Of Venus.

Tor over two centuries it was gcner- ally accepted that. like the earth. the planet Venus rotated on it's axis i'll a little less than twenty four hours. bu, since Schiaparelli after long and care full observation of the planet suggest ed that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astron, omers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory MT Denning sums up the available evi- dence on the point and can only con- clude that this particular problem still defles solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the planets avial rotation be, as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with the period of it's revolution round the sun, as in that case the same heini- sphere would always be turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night.

Chop Suey Best of All,

"I have tried them all in their na- tive haunts, and like them," said the traveller, according to the Baltimore Sun.
 "Tried wllat?" asked the bystander "Railroads?'
 No; national dishes," answered the traveller. 'The hot tanale of the Mex ican, the goulash of the Hungarian. the chop suey of the Chink, are all known to me and many others.
 ''The best of them all is chop suey. The hot tamale is too hot and has very little nourishlnent to 1t, and goulash is too heavy, It tastes pretty good, but it is not food to recommend to man with weak stomach. Chop suey, how ever. Is appetizing, easily digested and very nourishing. It is the great contrl- button of the orient to the occident in my opinion. It is made of rice, sprout- ed beans, celery and chickens blood, all mixed together in the form of soup and nicely seasoned.''

The Cause of Snorina.

This is not for you, because yo,, never snore. No one ever does snore himself. It is always the other fellow. But you can read this and then tell that guilty other fellow how to break himself of his bad habit, for snoring is merely a bad habit and as such can be overcome. It is caused pri- marily by improper breathing that is, breathing through the mouth instead of through the nostrils so, first of all. care should be taken during waking hours to breathe correctly. The habit once formed of keeping the mouth as firmly closed as possible, he will be less likely to sleep with it open. Then see that your troublesome snorer has . proper pillow. He should sleep with his head as fiat as possible, for if his head is pushed forward and the neck bent the tongue drops back agS--lst the soft palate and forms an obstruc- tion which makes all the unmusical sounds we hear when the air is forced past it.--St. James, Gazette.

Not Up to His Name.

George Peabody. the philanthropist, and John Bright often went to Ireland together to fish. One day they went a couple of miles up the Shannon be- tween Castleconnel and Killaloe. They had engaged the services of two boatmen, and as Bright and Peabody were keen anglers they made long day of 1t. On returning in the evening Bright, noticing a policeman on the river bank, asked what sum the boat men were entitled to for their time. The constable said anything from seven and sixpence to 10 shillings. Bright turned to his companion, say ing: Il have no change, Peabody Have you three half crowns?' The millionaire produced the coins and gave them to one of the boatmen, who said, And is that all we're givin' mc?' "That is all,' replied Peabody. Well. that bates all | iyer heard," observed the boatman, adding, as he scratched his head: An they call ye Paybody. Faith should call ye Paynobody"- London Standard

The Gods Bill of Fare.

An interesting exhibit ill the Soutu Kensington museurH London, illus, trates the omnivorous nature of the cod's diet. Among the fish falling a prey to its voracious maws we note the young of the herring, dab, whiting and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob sters also form an important item in the cod's menu. The strangest part of the cod's diet perhaps is the sea mouse, whose thick covering of bristles might be thought 10 render it unwelcome to any stomach. Large whelks and shells of whelks with their indwelling hermit crabs are also largely devoured. From its partiality to mollusks, in fact, the cod may become an assistant to the shell collector. Woodward in his Man ual of the Mollusca" remarks that some good northern seashells have been rescued unbroken from the stom ach of the cod."-London Globe.

The Last Match Saved Them.

The ship had lain becalmed in trop- ical sea for three days. Not a breath of air stirred the mirrorlike surface of the sea or the limp sails that hung from the yards like drapery carved in stone. The captain resolved to wait no longer. He piped up all hands on deck and requested the passengers to also come forward.
 "I must ask all of you," he said, ste give me every match that you have

Growing Flowers In Winter.

A long run of dark days in winter is bad for the florists. It matters little how cold the weather is, provided there is sunshine, for the heat can al ways be maintained to the proper point, and with sunshine flowers vii. bloom just as freely when the thel- mometer shows an outdoor tempera ture of zero as at the freezing point. though of course more money must bc spent for coal. But when, day after day, for weeks at time, clouds over- hang the sky. nothing will grow as it should. The carnation buds develop slowly until they are half open and wait for sunshine, and if 1t does not come in four or i've days the blooms decay. So also it is with callas and roses. They will open halfway, then. without sunlight, will quickly spoil- St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Plant of All Work.

The fields as we'll as the broad roads of Ecuador are inclosed by adobe walls surmounted by the broad leaved Amer ican aloe. The aloe, sometimes called the century plant, is one of the most useful and important plants in the country. The Indians thatch their huts with it's leaves. The leaves when tap ped yield sirup. They can also be used as soap and the spines as pins. The fiber is woven into sacks, and from it are made the coarse sandals worn by the common people. The tall flower stalks are used for beans and ladders The flowers. boiled and soaked in vine gar, make an agreeable pickle.-Nation- al Geographic Magazine.

How They Dance In Hungary.

With the exception of the Spaniards there Is no nation in Europe that dances like the Hungarians. They love 1t with q love that amounts to a passion. They not only go in for 1t heart and soul, but they will dance on anything. in any sort of weather. A paddock, q village street, a stable yard, the earth, en floor of a wayside csarda-it is all the same to them. Not the scorching sun or the whirling dust or the peltins rain or the falling snow will deter them. They all dance beautifully too. It seems to be in their blood.
