nv birthday"
1t was a hint that young Smith knew would
be expensive to understand. But the simple
maiden was heress to 10000 pounds, was de-
cldedly comedy, and they were engaged. Sc
he decided to plunge.
ANY one could guess your age, simple
are your ways" he said, and I'll show how
I'll guess it. Tomorrow you will receive a
bunch of crimson roses, and in that bunch
there will be one rose, my pet, for every
year that you have lived.
That night Smith wrote a note to his florist
ordering the immediate delivery of eighteen
roses to his lady fair.
The florist read the order and said to his
wife:
Here's young Smith wants to send a
bouquet of one and half dozen crimson roses
to Park lane, w He's been a good Gus
toner lately Throw In an extra dozen for
luck"
Smiths presents were returned within the
hour. and to this day he can't imagine why
the engagement was broken off.

SUFFERING AND WANT.

Lewisville, July 21-- Facing a third successive crop failure much suffering scant living is feared throughout this section of the Red river valley for many of the farmers. The trouble this year is due to the deadly pest of the cOt' pearance of the weevil ard of the weevil in this section and the destruction Of the cotton crop has caused great hardship among tn eland owners and tenants. the valley was overf.owed two years in succession. This year with a splendid stand, of cotton and ev- erything favorable for a bump CT crop the weevil has practically destroyed all of it.
 1t is stated that number of merchants are refusing to ad- vance further credit as the out look is so discouraging for col lecting an account. Lafayette, Little River, Miller and Nevada counties are suffering the most, Hundreds of farmers have plowed up their entire cotton acreage in an attempt even at this late day to get in crop of corn.
 The prediction is being freely made that the boil weevil will compel Arkansas farmers to raise more grain and stocko in- stead of cotton. There does not seem to be any reason why stock raising could not be made much more profitable in the state.
