ODE ON THE BEARDED LADY.
Indiana Farmers Unique Choice In-
spires Arkansas Bard.

From the Arkansas Gazeste.
Over In Indiana last week a farmer be-
came enamored Of the loveliness of the
bearded lady In side show and took her
to wife. And why should not a bearded
lady have her romance like her beardless
sisters2 True, the poets and novelists
who have raved over the hair OF ladies
have been understood TO refer TO the hair
OF the bead-albeit the modern poet,
apostrophizing maiden's hair, would be
hard to put to it to differentiate her hair
from the rats and puffs which underlie
and buoy 1t up. But no mention is made
Of miladys beard The nearest approach
to 1t is in Rosalaine and Celia. swearing
at Touchstones suggestion. by their
boards, IF they had any" The poet has
told as that woman's browning glory Is
her hair. He does not so specify, but
we gather that he had reference TO the
hair on her crown. although, indeed, he
may heye used the words Browning 70
imply the superlative glory, which, being
assumed, we would not be justified in
arbitrarily barring the beard from shar-
ing IN me glory appertaining 10 hair.
But 10 return 10 the bearded lady. In
diYidualiy and collectively she has not
been given fair show for happiness.
She has been as one set apart from her
fellows. She Is practically ostraeised so
cialiy, and cannot even walk the streets
save with deeply yelled face and mufffed
chin. The reason is clear Bearded ladies
are not common. For if bearded ladies
are allowed 10 walk the streets at large
no one viii pay to see them in a show.
And so the bearded lady spends her days
and half the nights in the circus season
on an elevated platform, the cynosure
OF all eyes. AS for social enjoyment. they
may come only after show hours IN the
seclusion of the living tent, around the
! festive board with the fat woman, the
living skeleton, the dwarf. the armless
wonder. and the tattOOed man. II IS a
shafne that the charms Of the bearded
| lady have never yet been sung by
rhymester, so here goes for supplying
the omission:
Thou art 50 fair. ny bearded maid,

Heart toHeart

By EDWIN A. NYE.
DO NOT BE AN INDIAN.

The American Indian, it Is said, new
er forgets an injury
Do not be an Indian.
Life Is too short to spend the best
part of 1t as an Indian.
The faculty of forgetting needs to be
cultivated as well as the faculty of
remembering.
Disagreeable things will happen. and
he is wise who trains himself to wipe
out the memory of them, just as the
boy wipes the figures from his slate
that he may begiR over.
Having wiped the annoyances from
the slate of memory, write thereon
the things worth while.
He who, for the sake of revenge.
treasures up a wrong and broods over
it, will have a canker in his heart:
he who nurses an injury in order that
he may resent it, will have a fostering
sore.
1t is better not TO get even" Let
Nemesis punish the wrongdoer.
Can he be happy who conceals with
in himself a couchant tiger ready to
spring and rend its victim? 1t is
better to forget.
If you be determined to engrave
deeply on the tables of your memory
the records Of some real or fapcied
wrong, you can do so. You can hoard
your resentment. You can hug your
ugly thought of vengeance until your
inner life is ugly.
But, do you know you are thus put
ting yourself into the power Of your
enemy who. by his mere presence,
can make you miserable? Because ha-
tred-like love-reacts on the Halter. It
hurts the hater more than the hated
Learn how to forget. Learn to let
go the things that are not worth re-
Numbering, the things that depress
and weaken you, the things that IL
held close to your life will embitter It,
And hold fast to the things that
cheer and brighten and help you on.
No single room in your heart was
ever built where bitterness should
abide. Wipe it all out And on the
clean slate trace the things that are
true and pure and just and lovely and
of good report.
If some mortal, careless, or ignorant,
or cruel, has put some slight upon you,
or injured you, forget it. Forget 1t!
Do not be an Indian.
1t is bad enough that Lo, the poor
Indian, should forever skulk in am
bush, hating and seeking his foe, keep
Ing always in his heart the implacable
feud.
You are no Indian. Forget it.
