That mortal ever saw,
And all things are the best things
Out here in Arkansas.
Here are roses, richest roses,
OF every hue and shade,
And chrysanthemums the grandest
Dame Nature ever made;
With geraneums, ferns and pansies
And palms that premiums draw,
While violets fill with fragrance
The whole of Arkansas.
And the fruit its ripest, richest,
And of the rarest hue;
While tn apples are the choicest
That Adam ever knew,
And so plenteous and SO perfect
They fill the earth with awe
Aye, all things are the best things
Out here in Arkansas.
mines
At least We hope there are
And coal-beds, without bottom.
Outstretehing broad and far;
Here are gems o. pearl and diamond
Nor a blemish, fault or flaw;
And these but few the treasures
Found here in Arkansas.
At the great Worlds Fair" she
proudly
Ranked first in many ways,
In the countless grains and products
That her famous farmers raise;
Aye, fifty-four world-medals
Fen now her earnings draw;
For all things are the best things
Out here in Arkansas.
And the women! they're the sweetest
And the dearest, and the best,
Nor can they help but know it
Sometimes-must be confessed;
While the menl are second only
To these women, without flaw,
Aye, gentlemen still have we
Out here in Arkansas.
Here are Editors courageous
anu SluOCHlo VI Tue stan
Whose calling is to sigh a sigh
And sometimes-laugh laugh.
They must jest and joke and jolly
No matter how they feel
II their hearts are hurt and heavy,
If, perchance, they've missed a
meal
Be their purses full-or empty
The Editors the same
Must lead all enterprises,
Or they will be to blame;
They must head the high church bod
les,
Guide the body polite,
Know each birth and death and mar
riage
And know it pretty quick.
Aye, pressmen of Inc people,
For the people and the right,
You stand for push and progress
And always lead the fight;
BY stress of wit and wisdom
You trains of readers draw
TITS you who mould the morals
OF men of Arkansas.
You come from fruitful OzarKs,
From fertile prairie-land,
From prosperous town and city,
From all this old state grand;
Here are men with hearts heroic
Who wage the war for law,
Aye, Editors the staunchest
Have we in Arkansas.
And here's one little woman
With busy brain and pen
A pilot in the press ranks
OF magazines and men;
She is tireless, true-good metal
The best you ever saw
Here's to the Shetch-Book lady,
The pride of Arkansas.
Here's the home of peace and plenty,
Here's the heart of hope and rest,
And the people, all the people,
Are most bounteously blest;
And, as other states lose prestige
1t seems a silent law
That the people come a-flocking-
Out here to Arkansas.

UNWELCOME VISITORS

Chief Leal and two members OF his

this morning to investigate several
minor robberies that have occurred in
that locality.
II appears that residents OF Uncle

of gentlemen who prefer to make their
calls after dark, and especially when
they are sure that their hosts will not
be at home. Instead OF leaving their
cards the visitors have been In the

Mr.. Woolley appeared before the

that II was because the privileges at.

abused to large extent. The Com

SMALL Loss IN THE
ROBINSON ESTATE
Purchase of Stocks And
Failure Of Company
The Reason

According To the report OF Master
Henry Smith Of the estate of James
Robinson. deceased, the receipts for
the year of i9OS-9 Were S25,56s.S4,
OF which $l9,311.i7 has been paid
to benehclaries. part remains as
principal. and the balance was paid
as taxes, repairs, commissions
charged, etc.
The total Investment and cash
for the year of 1909 was S332,O15.-
81. which shows discrepancy be-
tween that and the 1908 account of
$2.5Gl.S4. which was partly owing
to the purchase of $4,000 worth OF
Honokaa Sugar Co. stock, and partly
to the failure of the Hawaii Hotel
Company. in which the estate was
largely interested, The failure lost
for the estate s5,254.33. dollar for
dollar not being paid after adjust
ment.
Part of the holdings Of the estate,
according to the report. are 10
shares, $1,000 par, Hilo II. II. Co. 6
per cent bonds, 1,045 shares in Ko-
hala Sugar Co., Si7 shares Wailuku
Sugar Co. and smaller amounts in
various other corporations.
An interesting legal point comes
up in the demise of Curtis p. Ward
and Samuel c. Allen, two of the ex-
ecutors and trustees named in Jas.
Robinson's will. No provision was
made for such an eX:gency, and
Mark p. Robinson is now the sole
trustee, not knowing whether the
death of his co-trustees places their
powers on him or whether there Is
some legal provision by which other
trustees can be appointed.
The present life tenants under
the will are Mrs. Mary L. Foster
Mrs. Victoria Ward, Mrs. B. NJ. Al
len, Mrs. Matilda A. Foster. Mrs
Annie Jaeger, Mrs. Lucy McWayns
and Mark p. Robinson.

Former Congressman =. A. Beidler
was talking TO w. s. Hayden, the brok-

Along came Dr. G.. r. Ehret as the
two were discussing the matter. They
interrupted their speech long enough
to let him in on the story.
Peculiar, isn't it," commented the
doctor. The fact is, my father was
a minister as well"
After luncheon Mr.. Beidler In the
seclusion OF his private office. related
the incident To Jay Gaines. one of his
statesmen, whom he asked IL he could
duplicate any similar experience.
