HOUSE " OAK

Thousands of American women in our homes are daily sacrificing their lives to duty.
 In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children well dressed and tidy, women overdo. A female weakness or displacement is often brought on and they suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life a burden.

Basis of the Case.


 Specifically, the case was one in in which w. B. Alexander of Pine Bluff, member of the State Capitol Commission, sought to mandamus State Auditor Avery B. Moore to re- quire the latter to pay to MT. Alex ander the small sum of $14 and some odd cents, which Alexander claimed was due him for mileage, etc., ex- penses in attending the business mat ters connected with the new state capitol. Alexander had gone to the state auditor and asked for warrant for the money. He was refused on the ground that the constitution set forth that no state appropriation could ex- tend more than two years, and that the time limit for the state capitol ap- propriation had expired. Hence, the auditor held, according to his inter- money could be paid from the fund or appropriation. Alexander then brought mandamus proceedings against the state auditor, requiring him to pay the money. On the result of the litiga- tion depended the the matter of com pleting the new state capitol for the reason that, should the courts hold the appropriation was not extinct but could still be used in paying any sum, such as that wanted by Alexander, then the commission could draw on it for any amount, and if such was the lot fhn oov nit hI1iId- ing.
 The lower court decided in favor of Alexander, awarding the mandamus. State Auditor Moore appealed, how ever The case was submitted to the Supreme Court, about two weeks ago, and oral argument was made Attor- ney General w. F. Kirby made the ar gument in behalf of State Auditor Moore. The case was taken under advisement .and Monday the decision was handed down. the decision revers ing the judgment of the lower court and denying the mandamus
 Case Has Been Center of Interest.
 The state capitol case has been one of utmost importance. It has held the attention and interest'of nearly every one in the state. From state officials all the way down to the common la borer employed in the building of the new state capitol building, all have waited with intense interest the out come of the case before the Supreme Court. Working men who have been waiting here for weeks, still remained in the city idle, waiting to see whether the Supreme Court would decide in favor of the completion of the state capitol or against it. Opinion was greatly divided as to the outcome, it being the opinion of many that the court would sustain the judgment oi the lower court.

VICTORY FOR AUDITOR MOORE
Court of Last Resort Checks All Possi bility of Continuing Work on Build-
 ing Without New Appropriation.

There will be no more work done on the new state capitol building until the Arkansas legislature convenes again and makes an appropriation to complete the capitol. This was decided when the Supreme Court Of Arkansas handed down a decision in the cele- brated state capitol or Alexander case, in which the court held that Alexander could not be paid any money in con- nection with work on the new capitol by the state, because the fund appro- priated several years ago cannot be touched until the Arkansas legislature renews the appropriation. The court holds that, according to the constitu- ton, state appropriations can be used for two years, and that after that time they cannot be used; that the two years time limit for the state capitol fund has expired, and that it can no longer be drawn upon.
 The decision also holds that it has apparently been the sense of the legis-
  priate or spend more money on the completion of the new state capitol, because of the fact that tee last two sessions of the legislature have failed to produce any such action. Regard ing this point, the opinion, which was rendered by Chief Justice Hill, in part, says as follows:
 There is no mandate for the legis- lature to make the appropriation or act in the premises, and it's silence is as potent as it's positive action. The continuing appropriation of the act of 1903, is in condition with this clause of the constitution and is necessarily void beyond two years; and the legis- lature not having acted since that time, it is the legislative determina- tion that this fund be conserved ip the treasury until another legislature ap- propriates it for the purposes for which it was created
 The decision, then, is based on two principal points; first, that the con- tinuing of any such appropriation is in violation of the constitution, and, secondly, that the legislature itself, which created the fund, has evidenced no further inclination to continue the fund, as it has remained silent in ses- sion since then, and has refused to pass any appropriations extending the first one.

from mere numbers The rabbit pest in Aus
tralia is one instance, and many cases have
occurred where cats and dogs, which are
usually welcomed as companions by mankind,
have increased so rapidly that it was abso-
lutely necessary to destroy them by wholesale
But all destruction, whether it be of bird,
beast, reptile, insect or plant, should be from
necessity, otherwise it is wanton cruelty. The
man who destroys tree out of pure careless
ness or mischief commits sin against nature
and his fellow men. When God gave man
dominion over every created thing, He meant
that the power should be used only as wise
king rules his subjects-sensibly and kindly.
Everything has its place and use in the uni
verse, and wanton destruction is sure to be
visited with punishment. The reckless destruc-
ton of forests has had the result Of changing
the climate in several parts Of our own coun-
try, and that is only one instance out of

Wrong again" replied Uncle John. "a
toad is the best friend an agriculturist has.
It destroys flies and other insects at the rate
Of hundred day. and it saves many a
crop. But even if it were useless, what
reason would that be for killing it? Of what
use is canary bird or rose? Do you wiring
the neeks of all canaries, or tear roses to
pieces wherever you meet them"
"No," said Rudolphus, slowly. "Still, hui
man beings are more account than anything
else. l have always heard that man had
dominion over all other created things
$50 he has-to use, but not to abuse. Man
is the autocrat of nature. and his power is so
vast that he could make the entire world
wilderness, if he so desired. Do you think
that would be desirable?"
Certainly not" answered Rudolphus,
promptly.
"Yet the world would be desert if men
would kill or destroy everything inferior
simply because it was inferior"
"fhen why do men kill things?" asked
Rudolphus.
Primarily for food, and secondly, for
protection. 1t is the duty Of mankind to kill
savage animals, the same as it is to destroy
noxious weeds and insects. Some times it be-
comes necessary to exterminate animals which
are usually harmless, but become hurtful

terminating all other game. Only yesterday
read about man who shot five hundred
and forty ducks in one days hunt, and seem
ed to think he deserved great credit for the
feat. One duck was all he needed for HIM
SELF the rest he killed for fun In the
samefreckless manner, fishermen use nets with
very small mesh and catch millions of fish
for which they have no use, and which are
left to die on the land. In many cases, this
wanton waste has resulted in making barren
streams where fish formerly swarmed. To
such an extent has this waste been carried
that now it is necessary for the government
to stock the streams and pass stringent laws
to protect the small fry"
'fWell,'' said Rudolphus, drawing long
breath, as Uncle John ceased Il have learned

"Of value l hope" said his uncle. "Get
your natural history and find out something
about toads, and you will know more"
Then Uncle John went back to his book and
Rudolphus ran off to play.
