Since the adjournment of the last General Assembly, it has been circulated in some parts of the county among the military boys that it was the fault of the county's representative that certain bills introduced in in the Senate and passed by that body, failed in the House. The following letter of recent date shows how MT. CarlLee treated the matter:
 Powhatan, Ark, June, 17, 'O7. Hon. E. M. CarlLee,
 Augusta, Arkansas. Dear Friend:
 I have intended writing You since I came home from Little Rock but have been so busy in my office I just haven't had time to do so. I want to thank you in behalf of the Arkansas Nati- onal Guard for the hard work you did for us in the last legisla- ture. I firmly believe that you deserve the largest amount of credit for the $5,OO0.00 defcien- cy military appropriation, of any member in the House. as you know the bill only passed by one vote, and of course I would love to have seen the Patterson $35, OOO.O0 appropriation passed but you know that was a matter of impossibility for that to have been done, as we only barely passed our five thousand dollar deficiency bill.
 Any time I can serve you, command me. With best wishes, l am as ever, Your friend,

THE OPTIMIST.

The optimist, while he sees much of the evil, sees also much of the good. He sees more of the beauty, hears more of the music {; his mental vision is keener, h1s spiritual insight deeper. His whole view of life is one of prom ise. When the problems, vexa- tions, and temptations come, he stands squarely in his path, and by attitude and expression de- clares his firm belief in that ulti- mate good. He has many exper- fences, and sometimes he fails; but he rises stronger in resolution for having discovered weakness. There is in him something that never yields. He looks upon evil as something to be overcome. He makes effort, in proportion to this does he elevate himself to higher plane of life. He has mission in the world, and proceeds to do his

WORK MAKES MEN.

Work makes men. Luck somo times fails. Pluck nearly always wins. To succeed in anything one, must overcome obstacles. Force and fiber are built by hard-sbips Grit IS as necessary in the makinp of man as gumption. Hardsbins. are not always handicaps. Often they are for the better. You will understand this better in twenty years. Meanwhile permit one who has lived that twenty vears and more to advise you in this. Hang onto your job until you are sure of a better one. Dependable boys are in demand. And no bov can be depended upon who does not finish the task he sets his hand to do. However disagree. able our work, do it thoroughly. Do it better shan the average boy will do it. In that way you will come to be known as a dependable boy. And mind you this: Men everywhere are looking for capable honest, gritty, dependable boys. The sooner you let people know that you are that kind os a boy, the sooner you will get better job. And don't be in a hurry to give up the work you already have. Be sure something better is offer ed. Wait awhile. Do your work we'll. Promotion will come. And do not envy the boy who has an easy time. You would much bet ter pity him. He has good time now, but some day he must "make good" With his fabby muscles and his easy habits and his many wants, he stands a far poorer chance than you. Remember above all, young fellow, yOa are making a man of yourself.
