BITS OF EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY

 If you will keep quiet yourself. you can profit by other people talk ing too much.'
 Money would be more enjoyable if 1t took people as long to spend it as it does to earn it.
 When he wants to go some place a boy can do work in ten minutes which would ordinarily take him half day.
 Whisky never contributes to the success of the man who drinks it. Even successful bartender must be temperate.
 In order to be considered mar tyr, all the modern woman has to do IS to create the impression that some man is mean to her.
 Poor parents who are bringing up daughters to be princesses are mak- ing lots of trouble for the poor devils who marry the daughters.
 When man begins by saying "I hate to knock, but" you can tell at once what is coming; he is going to "knock" hard and long.
 Doctors say that the practice of kissing is a very unhealthful one, but girls who are always getting engaged don't look particularly sick.
 Investigate him and you will find that the man, who is always suspect ing other men of crookedness, would be crooked himself if he had the chance.
 The legislature should adopt a law providing punishment for men who grumble without reason. Peo- pie are tired of unreasonable grum- blers, winners and howlers.
 It often happens that a woman can't accomplish much at night be- cause of coaxing her children to go to bed and can't get much done in the morning cause of coaxing them to get up.
 It sounds well in a song to have the wife waiting for her husband at heavens gate, but the average man has to explain so often what makes him late that this feature of heaven. bliss is not alluring.
 Humanity is so constituted that one man is apt to be endowed with put a single viewpoint: his own. That which doesn't suit him, or agree with him, or please him, is wrong, whether it is politics, neigh bors or a brand of breakfast food. But It very often happens that the fault IS with the dissatisfied one; he IS as likely to be to blame as anyone else. Learn to view things from different sides; to understand that others may be right occasionally. 1t Will save you lot of annoyance. as well as annoyance to others.

A BETTER ERA.

The passage of the Oldham bill by the house probably places in the hands of the governor the power to to carry out one of his promises to the people, and removes the capitol question from the position 1t long has occupied-a bone of contention over which the politicians could quarrel and waste the taxpayers money. This seems to be the end of a fight on a corrupt ring that ex- pected to make fortunes for it's mem bers through all sorts of crooked ness in handling public work. Such methods have been common for years. The people had begun to figure upon them as the ordinary and expected thing. Such swind- ling of the people was hardly con- sidered more than shrewd business. But in recent years ideas have changed. It is harder to hide dis honesty. More people are paying attention to the acts of their repre- sentatives in public places. The traitor to his trust is pretty nearly sure to meet with a prompt exposure and quick return to private life. It is true in Arkansas and in all states. The passage of the Oldham law is victory over the enemies of Governor Donaghey. The people generally believe in his integrity, and if he is as worthy as they be- lieve the passage of the Oldham bill is also victory for the people over wrong.

WOMEN SHOULD TRAIN NERVES
Worry. Ill-Temper and 0verwOrk Are
 Habits That Can Be Corrected.

We hear women talk of nerves nerves" !" as though they looked upon them as their greatest foes. All the physical pleasures of life are brought to us through our nerves, and even the higher joys of the intellectual and the spiritual life we become aware of only through the medium of feeling, and for this reason alone it behooves one to keep one's nerves in normal, healthful and respon- sive condition.
 The fact that the nervous system is amenable to training and that it's habits can be unerringly cultivated at ones own will, and under ones own direction, or with outside as sistance if necessary, is a fact of growing importance. This is so be- cause the recent work of scientific men is showing us to what minute degree nerve habits can be controlled and also because, especially in America, our climate and our mod ern civilization are making greater demands upon nervous force and contribute to the unconscious for nation of detrimental nervous hab- it's.
 Worry, ill-temper, haste, laziness, overwork, selfshness. egotism and distrust are in many cases bad habits of the nerves. Anna Sturges Dur yea in The Delineator for June.

 Mena, less than a year ago, had a close shave for condition identical with that outlined above. when an effort was made to prevent issuance of licenses by securing a majority petition of citizens, including wom- en and girls of IS years or over. After a hard fight, the court decid- ed that the petitions did not contain majority of the qualified petition CTS.
 As pointed out at the time. t would have been bad had the move ment been success. The fact that government licenses could have been had in any namber to sell liquor in Mena. despite local regulations. would have thrown the enforcement of these regulations wholly on local oificers---and though. including the women and girls a majority in the city had been gained fayoring no license. these women and girls COULD NOT HAVE VOTED TO ELECT OFFICERS WHO WOULD EFFoRCE THE LAWS AGAINST LIQUOR SELLING. and the of the legal voters in Mena, with the memory of two former fizzles at local option before them. would doubtless have elected and re- elected men in favor of liberal" enforcement of the law---and Mena, as once before, would have been very wide open" with twenty or more blind tigers. selling to anyone having the price, regardless of age.

------------------------ BIG SNEAK THIEVES.

The American Refining Company the sugar trust, controlled by mil honaires and a maker of millionaires through it's power to control the output and sale of sugar, has been caught red-handed in the attitude of dirty sneak thief. 1t robbed the government-that is you and all of us-out of a million dollars by cheat ing in weights through using a secret spring to make the scales cheat on which import sugar was weighed. It cheated the govern ment out of the import duty on 75 million pounds fsugar. it is claimed. Incidentally, it cheated in the same manner the sugar growers out of the pay for 75 million pounds of sugar they produced. A nice position, indeed. for rich men to be caught inl
 And these same men now have the impuden,e to ask that the sugar in- dustry that made them rich should be protected by tariff, so that they can continue to hold up the price of sugar
 Can you suggest penalty to fit the case

-@-------z- WALKING AND HEALTH.

Edward Payne Weston, who on the roth anniversary of his birth, started from New York to walk across the American continent in record time, spoke to the members of the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation in Kansas City when he had arrived there. This aged pedestrian says he is trying to demonstrate that man is not the weakly creature he is supposed to be. He desires to lead man back to natural ways and to health. Some of his remarks are certainly worth reading and remem- bering. Here are a few:
 Charles Reade defined impossibili- ties as things to be trampled on. 1 am trampling on impossibilities all the way from New York to San Fran cisco.
 Walking is the most dignifed form of athletics.
 You ought to cultivate and direct y gOul Hdtuhd al pONCio uAlN itdu yOuIStl back to health.
 Health is heaven; health is exercise,
 More men die for the want of exer- else than of anything else.
 Doctors are guessing all the time. They say, Take so much of this salt and so much of this powder and see if you can lie still until you die or get better" Take your own medicine, If you think you've got sickness in you, go and walk. Sweat it out
 If you have trouble, get out and sweat it of. Walk if you are down and out and without job. The first thing man without work wants to get is selt-respect, He'll get it walk ing. Don't join the men who loaf on the street corners smoking paper cigarettes.
 People ask me how to look after their feet when walking, l cured ,, 800 New York policemen of bad feet. Just handful of coarse salt in a basin of water, soak for five minutes and then dry off carefully.
 take good cigar now and then, though not when Tn walking, And if l want glass of wine with my din- her take it, But I'm not gwen to hanging over bars and never was.
 use no stimulants when walking, If l did would not last any time,
