wagons for $400 or $500 and thought by lumber hauling or similar work to get rich in hurry. They did not bother to make crop, and were, therefore, forced to buy feed and all sorts of provisions, and at the end of the month generally found they had little or nothing left. That was not so bad for while, but when the financial stringency came, they found themselves out of work, no money, no crops, and their high priced teams and their families to feed. Then they knew what panic meant from sad experience. When they talked to me l said: Yes, l know there is panic, because read it in The Star. And the reason that I did not feel the hard times was because I first made crop and produced practically everything l needed, and thought about working for wages afterward.
 All the education in the world could not evolve better plan a better philosophy---for a farmer to follow, and this applies not only to the man who devotes all his time to growing a few bales of cotton and depends upon buying with the cash received most of the necessities for himself and family. but to many q man who has been lured by the promise of big wages from condi- tion where he was sure of food and clothes and shelter to one where he was dependent upon the turn of the business barometer or an employ CTS whim for the very existence of himself and his loved ones:
 To our old friend, too, everything is good. He illustrates his way of living in peace and harmony with those around by this little homily:
 Some one asked Mrs. O'Flaherty how she told bad from good bluing, and she said she took small bit be- tween her thumb and finger and care fully dropped it into tub of water and if it sank to the bottom or float ed on the top it was good"
 i The old man says that if neigh Dor comes to his home and tells him or his good wife his troubles, and another comes and wants to know what the other said about him, they turn the matter off by leading the second to relieve his mind by telling his own side, and then dismiss it from his mind.
 The editor is going to visit this home some day. He is assured of hot corn bread and biscuits, home grown and cured meat, sorghum molasses---and genuine Arkansaw welcome.
 And it safe to venture that there will be found peace. plenty and con tentment, and a host and hostess that are loved by their neighbors.

the cost of living have increased each year. Statistics from every source, and the experience of nearly all wage earners prove beyond ques- tion that the rise in wages has not kept up with the rise in the prices of necessities.
 Taking, for example, the rail- roads, as fair representatives of the employers of labor, it will be re- membered that for something like two years the net earnings were greater than in the history of the country. The business was abnor- nal, profits unprecedented, and wages were gradually brought nearer to basis of equity.
 But with the first check in busi- ness---according to all reports barely to normal basis as compared with records up to the last two years--- forces were reduced at once to a point below real working efficiency and a movement begun by many roads to reduce wage scales.
 It is the same old story of the worker being the last to benefit by general prosperity and the first to suffer by setback.
 The action of President Roosevelt in interesting himself in the talked of reduction ot the wages by the railroads will be watched by the country with great interest.

''I shall not put this government, which bought silver at 60 cents and coined it into a dollar, in the same category or company with those who inflated the billions of dollars of stocks and bonds that represented nothing but the expectations that those who issued them would, un- molested, reach their hands into the pockets of the people and draw from them dividends to which they were not entitled. The government did buy silver at 60 cents and coin it in- to a dollar and no man who took the dollar ever lost one cent, and that can not be said of the men who took the securities and suffered a shrink age of one-half.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to get out and
enjoy the sunshine. Children that
have been housed up all winter are
brought out and you wonder where
they all came from. The heavy winter
clothing is thrown aside and many
shed their fiannels. Then cold wave
comes and people say that grip is cpl
demic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than in mid-winter, as
there is much more danger of pneu-
monia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, however, and you will have
nothing to fear. 1t always cure, and
we have never known a cold to re-
suit in pneumonia when it is used. 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. Children
like it. For sale by all druggists.
