THE GREATEST WEALTH.

Is there any compensation in money for a starved, stunted, Gwarfed mind? Can lands and houses, stocks and bonds, pay a man for living a narrow, rutty, sordid life? How much money would match the wealth of trained mind, of unfoIded possibilities? Is the capacity for the appreciation of the meaning of life. of the lessons of civilization, worth no more than ones bread and butter and roof /? Gan anyone conceive of greater pos sessions than an intellect well trained and disciplined, than a broad, deep, fuIl-orbed mind responsive to all beauty. all good ?-Orison Swett Warden, in Success Magazine.

ONLY LABOR BRINGS SUCCESS.
Element of Chance, While a Factor in Life, Is Not Chief in the
 Affairs of Men.

It is related that soon after the discovery of gold in California a miner, without a cent and very hungry. asked credit for breakfast at tent ''hotel' in the tented camp of Coloma. and was refused. He took his pick and shovel and entered a claim abandoned in despair by it's recent owner. and after dozen strokes brought to the surface a mug get that yielded him 5000 a few moments later.
 That was success, and it may be claimed that it was due to labor, for had he not delved he would have gone breakfastless that day and per haps many subsequent days, but most of us unthinkingly will con- tinue to ascribe that mans ''success" to luck rather than to labor. The deWs of heaven fall on the worthy and the unworthy alike, and the ele- ment of chance is the biggest sort of factor in the affairs of men. All the work in the world will not grow a crop of corn in parched Sahara.
 But we must admit that labor is the antecedent of success as will is the antecedent of labor. "All the wishes that man can fancy will not fill the Arno, nor turn a plum into an orange Thomas Jefferson was a successful man. and his conf dental agent of 10 years declared that never but twice had he seen Mir. Jefferson when he was not at work.

WHERE SHE SIZED UP.

Dr. Charles F. Aked of New York recently gave the young women of his congregation some excellent ad- vice about matrimonial extrava- gance. Compared with the English girl, the American girl is a great spendthrift. Shortly after the re- turn of the fleet two naval officers were talking about their wives. Naturally they used nautical terms,
 What dear little craft your wife is, said the first,
 Dear and little did you say ]? She is dear, all right, but there is nothing little about her. Why, she is the biggest revenue cutter l have ever seen. ."-Cleycland Leader.

Despite rather gloomy prospects,

Despite rather gloomy prospects, good cotton crop in Faulkner county is practically assured. It is remarkable how little the pro- duction of cotton suffers as a result of bad weather conditions, when compared with other counties in the south. There has never in the present generation been a con- plete failure, or anything that ap- preached failure. The average number of bales ginned in the county during the past ten years is approximately 10000. Yet the minimum has never fallen below 3,ooo, or more than four fifths of an average crop. The maximum of 20, 900 was reached during the past season, so that the nearest to failure the county has ever expert enced was in the year when the crop was 65 per cent of the biggest crop. On the other hand in many Texas counties they know what a real crop failure is. Looking the census ginning statistics, we find counties producing IS,ooo bales one year and dropping to 5000 the next; producing 35,ooo and then falling to 5000; big counties in which the production jumps from less than o,ooo to more than SIS, 900. Faulkner county IS cer tainly fortunate i'll escaping such failures as these.

LET US HAVE WATERWORKS.

There is no Use side stepping the fact that Conway has just about reached the limit ot its growth until the city is provided with waterworks. Possibly there are in the United States few towns of 4 ,ooo population without this modern necessity, but we doubt if there is one of more than ,ooo population without 1t.
 Of course, any town of 1,5oo or more population needs water works. But Conway has already nearly attained the 4,ooo mark. The question is, do we want to stop growing, or will we provide ourselves with facilities that will greatly increase the rapidity of our growth, and at the same time con- fer innumerable benefits upon the people who already live here9
 The thing to do is to organize and go to work to get waterworks and not stop until we get it. It may be found that the wells now being tested will not afford suffl- cient supply of water for the city, but that should not discourage us. We can we'll afford to go to the Arkansas river or the Cadron creek, where we can obtain a never-failing supply.
 We understand the Board of Trade is now planning to under take the work of organizing the city into an improvement district for the purpose of issuing bonds to construct a waterworks system. This is probably the only manner in which system can be installed and the work cannot be started too soon.
 Let us have waterwor ks.

TO COLOR MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
Some Rules Which the Smoker Must Follow If He Would Get the
 Best Results.

The following information should appeal to smokers: Ordinarily a meerschaum pipe is boiled for col bring in preparation of wax, which is absorbed, and a thin coating of wax is held on the surface of the pipe and made to take a high polish. Under the wax is retained the oil of tobacco which is absorbed by the pipe, and its hue grows darker in proportion to the tobacco used. A meerschaum pipe at first should be smoked slowly and before second bowlful is lighted the pipe should cool off. This is to keep the wax as far up to the bowl as possible, and rapid smoking will overheat, driving the wax off and leaving the pipe dry and raw.
 A new pipe never should be smoked outdoors in extremely cold weather. Fill the pipe and smoke down about one-third, or to the height to which you wish to color Leave the remainder of the tobacco in the pipe and do not empty or dis turb it for several weeks, or until the desired color is obtained. When smoking, put fresh tobacco on the top and smoke to the same level. When once burned the pipe can not be satisfactorily colored unless the burned portion is removed, and the surface again treated by the process by which meerschaum is prepared. The coloring is produced by the ae- tion of the smoke upon the oils and wax which are superficially on the exterior of the pipe, and are applied in the same process of manufacture.

POOR OLD MONKEY.

The monkeys intelligence has never been able to arrive at point which enables that animal to achieve the untying of knot. You may tie a monkey with a cord fastened in the simplest form of common knot, and unless the beast can break the string or gnaw it in two he will never get loose. To unite the knot requires observation and reasoning power, and though a monkey may possess both, he has neither in a sufficient degree to enable him to overcome the difficulty.
