Mark Twain's Introduction.

In introducing Gen. Joseph Hawley of Hartford, Conn.,, to an Elmira audience. Mark Twain said:
 Gen. Hawley is a member of my church in Hartford, and the author of Beautiful Snow Maybe he will deny that, but 1 am here only to give him character from bis last place. As pure citizen l respect him; as a personal friend of years, l have the warmest regard for him; as neighbor whose gar den adjoins mine, why-why, l watch him. As the author of Beautiful Snow he added a new pang to winter. He is a square, true man in honest politics, and must say that he occupies a mighty lonesome position. So broad, So bountful is his character that he never turned tramp emp ty handed from the door. but al- ways gave him a letter of intro duction to ms. Pure, honest, in-

Dangerous Drugs,

There are many especially ladies, who are in the habit of prescribing for themselves for minor aches and pains and are using antipyrin, phen- acetin and acetanylid to gain relief, which is a most dangerous habit and eventually impairs the health and produces physical collapse.
 The indiscriminate use of such drugs, which seems to be on the in crease. without the advice of a phy- sician, is not only dangerous, but self destructive, and whereas. their efficacy as remedial agents in re- lieying neuralgia and other forms of pain are not challenged, but to gain relief there is an enfeeblement of the heart action which will be- come chronic, if there is habitual use of the drugs for every ill feel ing.
 The agricultural department of Washington is investigating the poisonous properties of these rem edies and have issued a report ol warning against this indiseriminate self-prescribing, which so frequent lly undermines the strongest con- stitution, leaving physical if not mental Wrecks.

Ground Hog False Prophet.

Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau of Washington. has a grouch at the groundhog be- cause it did not make good this year.
 You never pick up a paper, " said Prof. Moore, that you don't see harsh criticisms of the weather bureau. If we miss the time of the coming of rain by half an hour, we are declared grossly incompetent. People make speeches and say the weather bureau is spending too much money. Then somebody writes a long magazine article about us. They say we never have been right for two days on a stretch.
 If did not see a kick on the weather bureau in the paper every morning and afternoon or find half a dozen complaining letters on my desk everJ day 1 would feel lone some and neglected, but why be impartial with it?.
 What about that great weather prophet, the groundhog?
 He is the greatest -fusher that ever ever looked at cloud and pretended to tell what was in it.
 What did he do this yearq Did he make good? Not a bit of it, He was as far off as we were about the probable weather conditions.
 He crawled out of his hole on February 2, saw his shadow got his picture in every paper in the country and then beat it back tc his cavernous liar, leaving behind the idea that the remainder of Feb ruary and all March would be marked by bad weather.
 Was it a reliable forecast? should say not. We have had the l mildest and most beautiful Marcf lin years. Yet the groundhog gets off without a single roast. Anc next year people will De just a: eager to believe in his judgment.

Tor Better Stock.

The announcement comes from state fair headquarters at Hot Springs that the livestock industry of Arkansas will be given much more consideration at the hands of the management this year than ever before. Not only will more classes be added to the premium list, but there is to be a substantial increase in the money value of prizes offered.
 The people behind the state fair realize that this state produces some of the finest blooded stock in the country and that, in fact, it ex- cells all others in certain popular breeds, but that there is room for improvement and that opportuni- ties for comparison are offered at the state fair that cannot be se- cured in any other way.

NEW FIELD FOR BRYAN.
Eloquent Nebrasksn Will Probably Become
 "Lay Preacher"

William J. Bryan upon his return from his South American trip will devote more of his time and ener gies to church work. This state ment is made on the authority of close friends of MT. sBfyan with whom he has been in recent com munieation. He has become con- vinced that he can be of more service to the people if he should devote a greater portion of his time and consererate his talents to a greater extent than heretofore, to spreading the truths of Christiani- ty among the millions of men throughout the country by the churches and who would perhaps come to hear him.
 Just what plans MT. Bryan will make cannot definitely be known until his arrival, but it is said on high authority that he will work with the Christian Endeavor socie- ty, the Young Mems Christian as sociation, the Laymen's Missionary Movement and other inter-denomi= national instrumentalities and ab- solutely without remuneration.
 While MT. Bryan is strict Presbyterian, an elder in the church. he does not intend to con fine his work along denominational lines. His idea is to get at the greet masses who either have no church affiliations at all or whose church ties bind them very lightly.
 Friends of MT. Bryan and active church workers who are familiar with his ideas predict the famous Nebraskan will become one of the greatest ard most effective lay preachers in the history of the church.

Iron Mountain a Progressive Railway.

The Iron Mountain railway sys- tenn. with it's 1922 miles of lines in Arkansas, has proven one of the most protent factors in the opening of new territory for the homeseek- CT and the development of the lat ent resources of our state.
 It reaches into nearly every nook and cranny, north, south, east and west. There is main line, which hits the northeast border at Moark and runs southwest to Tex arkana, almost bisecting the state diagonally. In the northern and eastern section it has opened up a rice belt, in the middle and south ern a vast cotton zone, passing through the diamond area of Pike county.
 The second main line begns at Fort Smith and extends through Little Rock to Memphis. In West ern Arkansas it affords facilities for the output of a wonderful fruit country, in which strawberries are an important product, netting hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the growers, while around Pine Bluff it traverses territory unexcelled for cotton and admirably adapted for rice.
 Along it's White river division some of the most picturesque country in the United States can be seen by the traveller. This is the mecca for the summer tourist This land raises cotton and fruits of all varieties in profuslon, al along the line from Omaha to New Port.
