Wherein Girls Are Superior to Boys.
At an early age the boy begins to
practice on the outside world with his
hand and eye, and while he is throw
ing, cutting, hammering, calculating
distance and playing competitive
games the girl is sitting at home in a
pretty frock. But in activities not re-
curing great strength and speed the
boy is not superior. The fastest typist
in the world is to-day a woman; the
record for roping steers Ia feat where
the horse does the heavy work., is
held by a woman; and any one who
will watch girls making change before
the pneumatic tubes in the great de-
partment stores about Christmas time
will experience the same wonder one
feels on first seeing a professional
gambler shutting cards.-American

DR.. VIM. J. McCrann. Of Omaha,
Neb., says {: " AS the father of thir-
teen children I certainly know
something about your great medi-
cine and aside from my own family
experience, I have, in my years Of
practice, found Castoria popular
and efficient remedy In almost
every home"
DR.. Howard james, Of New York,
City, says -" 1t is with great pleas
ure that I desire to testify to the
medicinal virtue Of your Castoria.
I have Used it with marked benefit
in the case Of my own daughter,
and have obtained excellent results
from its administration TO other
children in my practice"
DR.. J. r. Clausen, of Philadel-
phia, Pa, says 1.-THE name that
your Castoria has made for itself
IN the tens OF thousands of homes
blessed by the presence of children,
scarcely needs to be supplemented
by the endorsement of the medical
profession, but I. for one, most
heartily endorse it and believe it
an excellent remedy"

DR. R. N. Ward, Of Kansas City.

make an exception. 1 prescribe

The Peculiar Camel

rage that numbers Of them gave VI

Asson Un TO Rats.

Thinking it was cinch, the jungle
sports decided to repeat the rabbit
tortoise race where they could get a
good audience
So they re-Mnrathoned it, giving a
large purse to the winner and a slight
ly smaller enc to the loser. The hare
did better this time and the result was
reversed.
And so both got vaudeville engage
ments. for both were champions. And
nobody took much interest in either OF
them after that

the swift, but the Doodle goes to the
professionals.

WOMAN PULLS HEAVIEST LOAD.
Point of View Which Is Seldom Given
Adequate Confederation.

For centuries woman has been, with
comparatively few exceptions, a play
thing or drudge; overindulged in
pleasure and idleness. or cursed with
a burden whose weight few men can
conceive. A system that places upon
woman's shoulders three-quarters Of
the burden is inevitably degrading. A
man receives credit for supporting his
family even when the wife, by work
ing early and late. contrives to turn
his earnings into a value treble that
of the original amount. The difference
in the value Of a barrel Of -four as It
is purchased and after It has been
made into bread has been reckoned
many times-bUt "the man." and not
the woman, supports the family"
Nor is woman's work done when an
income has been stretched TO its linn
it. If money value could be placed
upon her work as mother and wife
not that any one wishes to do such q
thing-it would indeed be clear that
the woman pulls the heaviest part Of
the load. That such a condition should
carry with 1t its antithesis in the wom-
an who is a drone and a rattle brain
is but natural-Collier's Weekly.

DR.. Claiming Fl. Cook, Of Saint

your Castoria for several years past
in my own family and have always
found 1t thoroughly efficient and
never objected to by children,
which is a great consideration in
view Of the fact that most n.edi-
cines of this character are obnox-
ious and therefore difficult of adj
ministration. AS a laxative I
consider it the peer Of anything

 They are cited to appear Mon- day morning at 10 o'clock.
 Governor Donaghey refuses to say whether he will respect the citation.
 Counsel for the commission, however, states that answer will be made, and will be based on the contention that the chancellor acted without jurisdiction and that the decree is invalid.
 Authoritative information is that work will continue at all hazards. Developments of sen. satiopal nature are expected to- morrow. as friends of the chan c,llor declare he will act without hesitation.

EQUALIZATION

 Little Rock, July 31.-Governor Donaghey has today named the members of the board of equaliza- tion for Polk county as follows:
 Dan Nations, Vandervoort.
 C.. B. Bates, Big Fork.
 M B. Legate. Mena.
 This action on the part of the gov ernor was brought about by 1908 amendment to the law of 1907, which law rlaced the entire matter of assessments in the hands of the county assessor and the justices of the different townships. Governor Donaghey stated in a re cent letter that the object of this 1909 amendment probably was to bring Washington county within the application of the law of 1907, '' which applied to Madison, Newton, Polk, Searcy, Stone, Cross and Greene, but it's wording was such as to exclude all but Madison and | Washington.

ATTY GENERAL NORWOOD HERE.
With Mrs. Norwood and Children Comes
 to Enjoy Rest at Old Home.

Attorney General and Mrs. Hal l.. Norwood and children arrived in their old home city Friday after noon, stopping at the Antlers. They expect to be here for at least week, brt MT. Norwood, never having missed a meeting of the penitentiary board made a flying trip to Little Rock Sunday night to attend the meeting on Monday, returning Tuesday.
 MT. Norwood says that the peni- tentiary board is getting affairs pretty well strengthened out, and that from this month on the institu- tion will be more than self support ing. He does net seem to think that the law giving the individual counties the right to work their own convicts on the roads will be of val ue, but thinks that revenue above the expenses of keeping the convicts may result from good management, this to be divided among the coun- ties for road purposes in proportion to the number of convicts from each.
 Mr Norwood says that he began to enjoy real life as soon as he began to breathe Polk county's mountain breezes.
