To Cure q Bad Habit.

A way to cure bad habit is thus
explained by the Rev. Samuel McComb
in the New York World: II you have
habit you wish to get rid of put your
mind upon it after going to bed. Re-
solve to discard that habit at the mo-
ment you are lapsing from semicon-
seriousness into complete unconscious
ness. Repent the operation several
nights, several weeks if necessary. and
cure will follow, provided that the day
after the first night the experiment is
started you obey the impulse that will
come on you to avoid the accustomed
habit.

THE FIRST TWINCE
Of Rheumatism Calls for pr. Williams Pink Pills If You Would Be
 Easily Cured

MT. Frank Little, a well known citi- zen of Portland, Ionia Co.,, Mich, wal cured of severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. In speak ing about it recently, he said: My body was run down and in no condi- tion to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheu- matic pains in my arms and across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that 1 could hardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pain ed me so terribly l could hardly stand it. My stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. I was extremely nerv- ous and could not bear the least noise or excitement. One whole side of my body became paralyzed.
 "As I said before, I had been suff- ering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when friend here in Port land told me how Dr. Williams Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. 1 decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis.
 The pills are for sale by all drug gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes S2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

SAVES HER VISITING CARDS.
One Woman's Pet Economy Certainly
 Queer One.

Women are proverbially niggardly on one or two points; every woman that ever existed had some pet econo- my, no matter how extravagant she may be in some respects. There's the woman who spends hundreds of dollars on imported gowns, but hates to give up one penny for paper of pins. The paper-saving person who drops into department stores and ho- tels to borrow stationery rather than spend any money upon the commodity always is with us; we all know the stamp stealer and the match borrow CT; but the visiting-card eeonomizer is a new brand of woman who exists only in the most exclusive society. So niggardly is she on the point of her visiting cards that she demands them back from her intimate friends; from her mere acquaintances she steals them at an opportune moment when the servants back is turned, or when the mistress has left the room. She puts them slyly back into her card case. By clever series of ma nipulations it is said she can make 100 of them go as far as 300 went be- fore

EPiTOME OF A MOST VIGOROUS DOCUMENT DELIVERED TO THE ARKANSAS LEGISLA- TURF UPON ITS ORGAN
 PATTON.
DENIES EMPHATICALLY ANY JUST FOUNDATION FOR REPORT
 OF PROBABLE DEFICIT.
To the Members Of the Thirty -sirth General Assembly:

ShSst"H'S
 The six years which I have had the honor to serve the people of this State as their Governor have been stormy ones, full of work and agitation. 1 promised the people of the State, at the beginning, that if they would give me this high and responsible position, that l would give back to them the ermine of office as spotless and unsullied as the day l received it. and l am here to-day, through you. their chosen represen- tatives, to fulfill that promise. And while I have many political enemies who, while the heat of the battle was on, would say and do many things in disparagement of my administration as your chief executive, yet I fatter myself to-day that there is not one of them who would honestly and sin cerely say that the administration of public affairs during my incumbeney in office has been otherwise than clean and honest. l have disagreed with many people on many political questions. but that disagreement has been from principle, and has been in fuenced by no motive other than the best interest of our common State. That l have made mistakes 1 shall not attempt to deny. But these mistakes have been largely made in the interest of humanity and what conceived to be a mercifu administration of justice.
 In retiring. gentlemen-from the Cover nor's of1ee-I want to reiterate many of the things that l have said to your predeces- sors, and warn you of some of the dangers and pitfalls that will be set before you under the cloak and guise of great solicitude for the welfare of our people. The first sub ject to which l desire to call your attention is our

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf- fered 10 Years -CompieteIy
 Cured by Cuticura.

'When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs. I scratched them with brass pin and shortly afterwards both Of those limbs became so sore that I cotid scarcely walk. When I had rbeen suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time on. ward I was troubled by such severe Itching that, until I became accus. toned to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accom- pany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctors in my native coun- ty advised me to use arsenic in small doses and salve. I then used to bathe the sores in mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In ad- dition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, -'s Salye, - Ointment, and in fact I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than one or two boxes or bottles.

STATE HOUSE LEGISLATION.

Another question of great importance that will be brought before your honorable body will ba an effort to obtain additional appropria tions for the completion of the new State Capitol. It would be useless for me to reiterate at any length the objec- tions which I have urged to this scheme heretofore. but I would be untrue to myself and unfaithful to the trust imposed me if I did not say to you in parting that this has been the most grievous burden that has been placed upon my administration. It has been fraught with more dishonesty. fraud and corruption than any scheme that has been forced upon an unwilling people since I have had anything to do with pub lie affairs. The whole project was conceived in iniquity and brought forth in sin, and every step since its beginning has been tainted with the slime of its own corrup. tion, until al the last meeting of your honorable body its braZen head was con spicuOus tl:nt the commonest wayfaring man might and understand its terrible influence upon that legislature l say to you, gentlemen, shun any further appro priation while this present scheme is in vogue as you would shun a pestilence. Shun it for the good name of your State, shun it for the good name of your children, your friends and yourself.

STATE CONVICT FARM AND PENITENTIARY
 SYSTEM.

The next subject to which I desire to call your attention. gentlemen, is the purchase of the convict farm. which was made dur ing my first term of office. the State agree. Ing to pay S14000000 for tract of land in Lincoln county, which I have always contended was practically worthless and valueless which has been a source of an noyance ard without profit, and which ia absolutely unfit from every standpoint for the labor of convicts. You will be asked to pass a law. gentlemen authorizing the beard to pay the accrued interest upon this debt, as well as that which is yet to become due. The holders of these obli- cations have come squarely mp against this proposition of law-that the State does not pay interest on any of its obligations un- less there is law in existence at the time of the making of the contract authorizing this payment. And I say to you, gentlemen. today, that you not authorized. either by law or morals, to pass any kind of an Act that will help these gentlemen out of their dilemma.

BUCKET SHOP EVIL.

One of the greatest evils that exist in our State, to-day, gentlemen is what is known the bucket shop. It is nothing more or less than simple plain gambling device by which men are permitted to gamble in the products of the soil and which largely determines the price of the products of labor. This Is more especially true of the greatest commodity of the Southland to-day, namely cotton. The til- lers of the soil, gentlemen, are making gallant fight against this evil. Win you help them set example for the other Southern State?

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I feel that it is not i'm proper for me to say that I am proud of the condition of State; that I am proud of her achievements and the history which she has made since I have had the honor to be your chief executive. The du- ties that l have assumed as sdch have been arduous, and at many times seemed greater than I could perform but with one single object in view, which was to s5-vc ss Ss .t l could the people who have honored me l have made record to which l feel my children Tn after years may point with just pride and With no feeling of shame or dis. grace.
