HOT SPRINGS AND THE LAW.

The city of Hot Springs, Arkan- sas, has until the past year been a law unto itself. Unmolested by outside influences, the people have proceeded to elect officers on the platform of enforcement ot such laws as exist in the state against gambling and Sunday ob- servance. When elected these officers have faithfully stood by the element that elected them and have faithlessly disregarded their sworn duties. Gambling was al ways "wide-open" and the festive saloons remembered no Sabbath day to keep it holy.
 But times are changing in Hot Springs. Other sister cities and towns have said to Mother State: eff you make us be good, why not Hot Springs?" And so the gam bling and Sunday observance laws are no longer so hagrantly violated at the Springs. And so, when the Amis bill came up before the legis- lature, not even the powerful in huence of the city and of the wealthy race track promoters was able to prevent its passage.
 But the sheriff of Garland coun- ty has his doubts about the con-

EGGS THAT DIDN'T HATCH.

'speaking of eggs," began the girl who has lived in the country, q knew a smart woman. She had a lot of fine hens. She sold their eggs, for setting, at dollar a dozen, because the breed were so fine. Then all at once she got hard up and ad- vertised the eggs at 25 cents a dozen. The people all rushed for the eggs, thinking they were going to get setting eggs at that price.
 ''They didn't set worth a cent. Before she sold them cheap the smart woman had dipped every blessed one of them in hot water"

AN EXPLANATION THAT DOESN'T
 EXPLAIN.

The joint committee appointed by the legislature to investigate the state capitol reported to their re- spective houses last week some all leged reasons why the committee IS holding its "star-chamber" ses- sions.
 In their "explanations" each chairman succeeds in filling about a half-column of newspaper with out saying anything. The only assertion upon which reason for their procedure could be hinged, is that it seemed best to the con- mittee to hold secret sessions.
 This is a fact that no one can possibly deny, for if it had seemed best to the committee to hold their sessions in the open, the committee would have held its sessions in the open.
 But why did it thus seem best? This the committee does not ex- plain. But we suppose if the ques- ton were propounded them they could give an answer equally as satisfactory as their explanation, ' and make use of a woman's reply: "Because.

Aid 20 Break Down.

Speaking of mail order houses and
how they aid TO break down the local
merchant and thus injure indirectly
every interest, not only Of the town but
of the county, let US also bear in mind
that every dollar sent to these distant
houses is not only that much money
taken out of circulation at home but L
is taken out for good-and never gets
back. In a small city in Illinois recent
~ this matter was given a very praeti-
cal test. A man marked a dollar in q
way that he knew at all times where
the money, was. Il circulated from the
grocer TO the dry goods dealer and back
again. Il finally came into the posses
sion Of farmer, who sent It to a Chi
cago mail order firm, from whence II
never returned IL man should de-
hberately deplete his own strength by
letting 50 much blood out Of his veins
at frequent intervals, 1t would be de-
nounced everywhere as folly, but II is
not more distinctly folly than for a citi-
zen to deplete the strength of his COM
munity by sending money away that is
to stay away, in return for goods he
could buy just as well at home or near
ly, II not quite as good terms. Live

No Use % Rant and aAVe BerAuse the
World Goes WrbnG--Tahs Il Easy,

Frank W. Walpole. editor Of the
Manatee Record, preached the follow
ing sermon in the last issue of his live
weekly newspaper:
We can't say as 70 whether we are
in our dotage OF homage, but we've de-
cided TO take things as they come and
let the old world move on az she will.
This may not be very good Tesolu-
tion, but we're going TO try It Tor
while.
This way Of getting red-headed about
everything that comes alongshas about
taken the coloring matter out of our
hair and caused 1t to assume an off
color, the tint Of which we have been
unable TO locate.
After all we find that this Is a pretty
good old world and would be a whole
lot better il the people would let it.
Fact is, we've about dscided the people
are the world. 1t is true God created
the world and brought it into being,
but the people make IL what It is; they
corrupted it even in Adams day, and
have been adding daily to this corruption
ever since.
But even with it all, we can make the
world better by doing better, or at
least, get more out of II by taking
things as they come, and quit trying to
buck creation and everything else.
We don't mean to say that a man
should not stand up for what is right
and condemn wrong, but we do say
that the way to correct these wrongs is
to talk with man, persuade him and
show him his wrongs, and not get in
behind him with a bull-whip and a six
shooter and try to run him out of the
county. You'll never correct a wrong
this way as long as life lasts, but you'll
succeed IN damning your own soul as
well as the wrong-doer.
God Almighty never intended that
any man should be bulldozed into any
thing, and it's unreasonable TO think
you can make any improvement on His
ideas of things

WouId Hire Special Train.

That S25, 900 which the legislature of
1905 allowed Colonel WALES for his In
dian War Claim is still lying in the
State treasury uncalled for. It looks
mighty good to US, and IL IL had been
appropriated to our use and behoof
even as a just debt scaled down, its fac
nations could have sidetracked all re-
sentiment and we would have gone after
it with almost indecent haste. Get the
money and keep up the kick afterwards,
Colonel. The State of Florida appar-
emily intends to permit you unliRited
license in that direction, and you can
kick with more JUNCTION after the out
rage has been finally contaminated by
your receipt Of the money than now
when you perhaps keep faint hope
still in stock. We might think as Col
onel WALES does IL we were in his place,
but holding our present attitude to-
wards that $25, 600, it seems TO US
peach Of divine proportions and perfec-
tion that we would reach for It il we
had to hire a special train to get there
quick. Live Oak Democrat.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women Of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those Of our generation. To be sure.
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The 2,iz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength Of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her CLOTH
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut Of a sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for Eve
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"
