LANKFORD PLEASES PEOPLE
Circuit Judges Work is Satisfactory to
 Faulkner County Citizens.

It is somewhat unusual for the work of any public officer to be satisfactory to every element of a county, and the record made by Judge Eugene Lankford, who has just finished holding circuit court here, rather unique tor that reason. Since Judge Lankford assumed his office some three years ago. he has given eminent satisfaction to not only the members oi the bar oi this county. but to the people at large. The office of circuit judge is prob ably the most trying and difficult position to fill that is in the gift of the people, for the circuit judge is not only supposed to administer the law, but at the same time he has discouraged the idea that some people have that the criminal courts of the country are the proper place to air their personal grievances; and on several occas- ions, where It was apparent that prosecutions for petty offences had been inspired by spirit and malice, Judge Lankford has dismissed the cases. We understand from mem bers of the tar that a very small per cent of the rulings made by Judge Lankford are ever reversed Oy the Supreme Court, and his record along this line is probably as good as that of any of tue seven teen circuit judges in the State.
 While he has made no formal announcement, 1t IS understood that Judge Lankford will be can didate for a second term next year, this being his first term, and he will have no opposition whatever, as his services seem to have been satisfactory to the people and bar all over the district.

BY CYNTHIA GREY.

Everyone knows mothers who, in
"a vain effort to shield their chill
dren, excuse their fretfulness and
exhibition of temper, by saying to
the possible witness of these faults,
He inherits my nervousness, poor
child" And perhaps she says, "He
has his fathers temper, and l try
to be patient with him."
Foolish mother! She means well,
but she should never excuse faults
In this manner-for little folks are
too apt, at all times, to blame 9TH
fers for their own wrongdoing.
& / know an only son whose father
died drunkard.. His widowed
mother naturally fears for the fu-
ture of her boy, and she thinks she
does her best to help him when she
EssEekS always to- keep before his
mind his INTERCHANGEABLE appetite
for strong drink. If she but knew
1t, she is providing her son with an
excuse that is and always has been
a moral handicap to ne'er do wells.
The man who is a failure in life
has always someone or something
to blame for his own weakness.
If this mother would only realize
what a tremendous influence
thoughts and suggestions exercise
in life, I'm sure her tactics would
change. She should teach her boy
that it is cowardly to throw off
upon anyone, human or divine, liv-
ing now or 200 years ago, the re-
sponsfbility for things we do or
leave undone; that right living
means right living, not only today
but also tomorrow, and she would
be an undying inspiration for good
to her boy. He would stand a far
better chance of being a strong
man, eager to meet his battles face
to face, and willing to shoulder all
his own responsibilities, than If she

| Every mother wants her boy to
be a man, whose body is trained
to be the ready servant of his
mind, whose passions are trained

enjoys the beautiful, loves the
truth, hates wrong and respects
others as himself" and she can

THE FANTAiL PIGEON.


Diana, goddess of hunting. was
given a most beautiful fan by
Apollo. She was very proud of it.,
and always carried it with her
wherever she went.
1t aroused the envy of many of
the goddesses and Venus, the beau
tiful, was angry because 1t did not
belong to her. So she finally re-
solved to get 1t from Diana, some
how or other. She changed one Of
her serving maidens into large
white bird, and told her never to
come back home unless she
brought the coveted fan.
The goddess Diana was wander
ing in her garden with her maids
that evening, when she decided to
take a ride on her favorite horse.
So she sent maid to carry her
precious fan into the house to a
place Of safety.
On the way the maid stopped at
the fountain to quench her thirst,
and laid the fan down while she
drank.
The bird, who had been lowering
near watching It's chance. now
swooped down and flew off with
the fan before Therma, the maid,
could reach 1t.
Apollo happened to see the bird
In its flight with the fan, and
caught 1t. He punished the dis
guised maid by compelling her to
remain in the form of bird all
her life, and to wear the fan as a
tail. Her descendants are called
"fan tailed pigeons"

WHEN sTEARNs AWokE.

Otto Stearns was known to his
very self contained orchestra direc-
tor. Stearns was a wonderful musi-
clan, everyone said, although no
one had known him to give any
particular evidence of his powers.
He conducted the orchestra at mat
inees and other times when the
first director felt unable or unwill-
ing to assume the task.
Weimer, close friend of Searns.
was wont to declare that at heart
the latter was fiery and impas-
sioned-that he would be the
grandest director the world had
ever seen II something would only
happen to awaken him. No one
else, however, held this belief.
On particularly hot, sultry
afternoon, the orchestra was CIV
ing one of the last concerts of the
season. 1t was an unusually I'M
portant concert, as representatives
of a city which intended to engage
the band for a series OF perform
ances were in attendance. Stearns

was the cause of Stearns' lethargy.
Suddenly an idea flashed into Wei
mer's head. He hastily left his
seat and walked off the stage. In
a moment or so he returned, a con-
fident smile on his face.
Watch Stearns during this next
piece" Weimer whispered to the
man next to him in the orchestra.
The following number was a
wonderfully fiery selection, but the
orchestra, depressed by Stearns'
dull direction, dragged YEARLY
along, Then, something remarkable
happened. Weimer. who was
closely watching Stearns, saw the
latter's head go up with a new
gesture. His body tok on a more
virile, energetic pose. New life
seemed to flow into him. He be-
came animated, alive, awake-and

they would engage the orchestra.

beside him.

Who Is He?

Among the eccentric geniuses
who reside in Spokane is one man,
owner of some $250,O00 worth of
land and chattels, who bases his
claim to fame on the fact that:
sHe has never been to a circus;
He has never been inside of a
theater;
He has never seen a base ball
game;
"a He has never witnessed a horse
race.
His friends insist he acquired the
$500 not because but in spite of
these facts.
