And the Prayer Was Answered.

Little Dorothy. at the 'e of slx' was very thoughtless regarding the care of her clothes and the many admonitions she had received about neatly arranging her clothes on a chair each night before retiring were daily forgotten
 One night, just as she was ready for bed, her mother came Tn, and finding the little garments in heap on the floor, as usual, said, "Doro- thy, you may say your prayers and then mother will have to punish you for not minding her about your clothes" Having said this she stepped into the adjoining room and partially closed the door.
 In few moments she heard Dorothy, who was a firm believer Tn the power of prayer, repeat, Now I lay me- and after the "arcen" she heard this appeal: And, dear Lord, if ever you wanted to help a little kid, now's your chance. The Delineator.

wives; takes the clothes off the backs of liCtle children and substi- tutes rags; degrades manhood; makes lewd women out of virtuous maidens; stifes ambition destroys hopes. weakens the body, blights the mind and blackens the soul, un- til it turns this earth, made for mans happiness and use, into a hell for his ruin and misery.
 In the interest, therefore, of busi- ness; for the pnotection of helpless women and children, for the sup pression of crime; the amelioratlon of want and poverty; the prevention of disease; the preservation of life; the salvation of human souls, and for the sake of more than eighty-six millions of true, brave and noble American men, women and children, I would bestow this gift of national temperance, thus destroying fear ful curse, and restoring man to the godIike image in which he was creat- ed. would offer this gift to the American people.

An "Anti-Cuss" Society

Grand Fork. N. D.--It costs only five cents to swear off from swear ing. The Nonswearing Knights of America, an association born of the brain of Great Northern conduc- tor, has met quick success. It has been organized only a few days, yet now it numbers more than 1000 members.
 R. G. Vim of Sherwood, who is the father of the order, also is it's secretary and treasurer. Since the inception of the idea Wynn has been deluged with inquiries about it, ac- companied by applications for mem- bershlp in the order. So encourag- ed have MT. Wynn and his friends become with the popularity of the association that they are planning for national headquarters at Min ot. Chicago Tribune.

STATE FARM SELLS COTTON.
Prisoners are Gathering From IS to
 f8 Bales a Day-Leyefs Holding.

Little Rock, Dec. 0. Another 16O bales of cotton is in Little Rock, produced at the state farm aud will be ordered sold by the peu;tentiary board at its board meeting today. The levees at the state farm are holding we'll, and little sipe water is going through, so that the picking of the cotton there is not being retarded. The convicts are picking out about 10 bales of cotton each day, and when the day is bright so tbat the plckers can pick late in the afternoon Is bales are picked out. The state has ma ketcd 400 bales of cotton this year, and there is about leo bales on the farm which has not been ginned, making the crop gathered up to date 660 bales. There is probably 200 more bales OF the farm to be picked, making the crop this year about 800 bales. against l400 last year. The g1ns at the farm are working every hour of the day, yet they cannot keep ahead of the pickers.

A Formula to Induce Sleep.

In the December American Maga- zine Ray Stannard Baker, writing of Healing the Sick in the Churches, " says:
 "One great effort made by the Emmanuel Movement is to encour- age patients in auto-suggestion, that is, in the effort to heal themselves, to give them power over their own natures. The Rev. Lyman P. Pow ell has been especially successful in developing the use of auto-sugges- tion. Having cured himself of per sistent insomnia, he gives clear statement of methods by which others may do the same thing:
 Those to whom auto-suggestion is an unfamiliar thought sometimes find difficulty in using it. They need to know how others have found it helpful in inducing sleep actually use it. The following formula, which has helped several, is given for illustrative purposes, If used audibly it should be said slowly, drowsily, soothingly, whisperingly, and repeated until sleep comes:
 "'I am going to sleep. l shall not lie awake. I cannot lie awake. l am going to sleep. The tired eyes are closing. The blood is flowing from my brain to my extremities. There is no longer any pressure on the brain. The muscles are relax ing. Sleep is stealing over my senses. They are growing numb. l am getting drowsy. am softly into sleep, dreamless sleep. I am sinking deeper, deeper, deeper. I am almost asleep. l am asleep, asleep. asleep"

FARM AND GARDEN.

The demand for mutton is said to be increasing. Why not try few sheep2
 Just as well be first-class farmer as a poor one. Just a matter of brains and energy.
 One good animal -on the farm or anywhere else-eats no more than a poor one and is worth double.
 Prune your orchard as soon now as you can. Trees begin to grow early in Polk county -and then it is too late.
 Have you tried the effect of shell ter and a coat of paint on your farm implements and wagons If not, the experiment is worth considering.
 If manure is not protected from washing rains, at least half it's value is lost. Care for what costs you little or nothing and raise better crops.
 There is a market for fresh veget- ables in Mena all through the win ter. A few not house beds would bring good returns to industrious owners.
 This is the time to watch your yo@ng fruit trees to keep the rab- bits away A little common soap rubbed on the bark is said to pro- tect them from harm, and it is easy to apply.
 If you have a piece of land that is worn out, try a few crops of cow peas or clover. You may decide after all that these crops pay better than cotton, and the land will inn prove every year.
 Have you a bad road near you If so, get together with a few neighbors if you can, make a split log drag and use it. Hut if you can't get help, do a little yourself and they will see their error.

insult upon the delegates from Oks lahoma.
 Of course they see their side of the issue. but there are other features to this case in addition to those brought out by the Arkansas senas tor.
 Arkansas and Oklahoma are not the only states where vast sums are being asked for the improvement of rivers to make navigation possible. and it may safely be said. so far as absolute truth goes, that in each case it is not that the advocates of such expenditures really expect that any large tonnage will ever be sent by steamboats in preference to rail, but that big interests in certain cities are willing to have the people of the nation pay millions for un- profitable river work in order to force railroads to give them very much lower rates for freight than can be obtained by cities not located on the rivers. They will continue to ship by rail, and it will be only by an effort that they can produce enough business to give the packet lines an excuse to operate boats.
 But, while they can keep them go- ing even part of the year they can use the river as club with which to beat down the rates of the railroads for the favored few, all of which the roads must make up by unreasonable charges to the less strong towns.
 The effect of this condition upon the smaller towns and communities is precisely the same as the effect upon small business institution when larger one doing business in the same territory secures lower freight rates. The favored one can undersell the other and soon put 1t out of business. That is identically the system that enabled the Stand ard Oil company to strangle to death all competitors and thus become such vast monoply.
 It is the same system that, when applied to individuals or corpora tions, is now classed as a crime un- der the law, made so purely and sim ply because it was wrong not square deal.
 Now, when it has become an es- tablished principle that strong men or corportions must not be granted especial favors over the less favored by the railroads, is it not time to adopt the same idea as regards cities?
 William J. Bryan, when in Mena, stated that the principle was assur- edly correct.
 If it is, then the idea of taxing the people of the country to build up cities, as outlined, is not square deal

Will Revive Whole Country.

From all parts of the country come reports of many men return ing to work after months or even a year of enforced and unprofitable idleness.
 The Illinois Steel Company of Chi cago announces that on January lie will re-employ 5000 men who have been idle for over year and place 5000 others on full time, in- creasing the pay roll about $750, ,000 month.
 The National Association of Manu- faeturers has been making an inves- tigation of the condition prevalent among the industrial centers of the country, and the returns from 5000 correspondents have been most gratifying.
 The reports are that the increase in the employment of men would average 135 each day for the 5000 employers.
 The members of the association, beginning December l, expected to have on their pay rolls an increase of about 100000 men, and, assum- ing this as a basis. it may be conser- vatively estimated that the l3,000 manufacturers of the country will increase their forces about $50, ,000.
 These reports came alike from Re publican and Democrat sources, showing that they were not tinged with partisanship.
 When over half a million of the country's producers and artisans, who have been doing practically nothing for all these months are once more on the pay rolls it means a material increase in the circulat- ing medium that will revivify the whole country. Arkansas Demo crat.

Use the Department of Agriculture

The government maintains a de- partment, and it is always at the service of the farmers. They have only to ask and will receive it's ser vice. The department is not avail able for men who do not read; and those who do not care to keep abreast of their occupations can derive no benefit. It is for intelli- gent, thinking and reading people.
 If you wish information write 70 the department at Washington, D. C.. for a list of publications and bulletins. The lists will be sent, and you can write for such as will add to your information. Do not feel that you are asking a favor of some one upon whom you have no right to call. The department is yours, and is maintained at public expense for your benefit.
 A difficulty has been to reach peo- pie, and nothing so greatly pleascs the men in charge as to have letters asking information, and for bulie- tins. When a request is made they know the bulletin is not wasted upon one without interest.

WOULD SEARCH FOR PISTOLS
Sheriff Surridge Would Have All
 Officers Join in Crusade.
