ton which has been puzzling
Press readers for several weeks is
answered today by bachelors them
selves.
when they (the women and
girls) are ready to try anu make a
happy home shared with work
ing man, then there will be fewer
bachelors and many more happy
married men and women"
That is the answer sent in by
bachelor. 1t answers the ques-
ton, but it throws the blame upon
the gentler sex.
Another bachelor answers the
problem in another way, but here
are the letters themselves:
Why is bachelor?
For one reason he has not much
chance to get acquainted where
it's everyone for themselves. He
knows not whom to ask to share
his lot. When the women and
girls take a tumble and not wait
for leap years to let the bachelors
know, when they are willing to try
and make a happy home shared
with workingman, there will be
fewer bachelors and more happy
married men and women.
A BACHELOR.
Editor of The Press:
No certain code can possibly
cover all the ground necessary
to answer this problem. Let each
and every one answer it from the
standpoint of his own experience.
The reasons for this condition of
singleness among men are as nu-
merous as the stars in heaven.
The hobo does not enter into the
question at all. but is a problem
unto himself. BACHELOR.
Editor Press:
Dear Sir: l have been reading
the letters in The Press, "Why is
"a Bachelor" and as l am a bache-
/ lor of good habits and a total alb
stainer and true believer in the
gentler sex, woman, and also have
kind word for and respect all
decent women, | do not under
stand why l should be considered
"a bum or crank, as some of the
writer's express 1T. as being name
suitable for all bachelors.
I Now | can and do honestly be-
Sieve that such statements as the
above are made by one who has a
mistaken idea of the bachelor, and
II think bachelors should be classed
according to their dispositions,
from both a moral and tempera-
mental standpoint. My being an
old bachelor is no fault of my own
as far as l can discern, as | have
kept company with numbers of wo-
men with the hope of finding my
life companion, and so far l have
never found the right one.
1t is useless for a man to marry
a woman who does not see things,
at least most things, as the man
sees them-that is, to agree with
each other in all things as near as
possible, so there will be harmony
and peace for both; also to love
eacn other and share life together
as man and wife should. Why
should man marry woman that
loved him if he could not learn
to give love in return. Such mar
riage, in my mind, would be worse
than murder for both and scourge
to any children brought into the
world by such union.
Only true love counts for any
thing in happy married life. With
out love all is lost

CYCLONE HITS PINE BLUFF
(Continued From Page 1.)

more than fifteen small cottages along Missouri street, occupied by negroes were unroofed and otherwise damag- ed. In some of them not one window pane was left whole. Trees and tele- phone poles were blown down all ov- CT that section of the city. A house occupied by Morris Conway was over- turned, but none of the occupants ser iously hurt. The storm appeared to take turns skipping over one block and wrecking homes in every other one.
 At Woodstock" the beautiful coun- try place of Captain A. M. Barrow, on East Sixth avenue, extended, many trees and fences were blown away, but the palatial home escaped dam age.
 Wires were blown down in every di- rection and telephones were out of commission in the storm district last night. On State street, near Seventh avenue, half mile from where the greatest damage was done, large trees were uprooted and at one place State street is blocked by several large oaks, piled in heap in the road.
 The storm was followed by ter rife rainfall converting the streets throughout the city into miniature rivers.
 Between Sixth and Eighth avenue cn Missouri street several cottages occupied by negroes were blown down. X baby in one of the homes was in- jnred, but the other occupants escap- ed.
 Several houses were also reported to have been blown down on Morris and Virginia streets, in the extreme eastern suburbs of the city.
 The large smokestack at the plant Of the Consumers Cotton Oil Company, was blown down and much other dam- cge was done to various buildings on the company's property. The hull house and seed shed were partially unroofed.
 Owing to the fact that the lights were cut off in that part of the city last night efforts to get further de- tails of damage done to property were unsuccessful. Many live wires were strewn along the streets endan- gering lives and the light companies cut the circuits out for the night.

AUTOMATIC FIRE
 : ALARM SYSTEMS

The large building occupied by the Hammett Grocery Company at Third avenue and Pine street now has one of the best equipped fire systems in the city. A large tank has been plac- ed on the top of the building, from which water pipes extends to all parts of the building. These pipes convey the water from the tank, and when they become heated by fire the water is turned on. Yesterday an automatic fire alarm was made by an alarm bell being placed in Fire Stat ion No. 1, which will ring when the water is turned on in the pipes. This will be especially good in case of night fire, for when the water is turned on by the heat the fire depart ment will also be notified by the alarm The water system is being con- structed on the J. B. Speers building at Third avenue and Chestnut street, and a similar automatic alarm sys- tenn will be placed on the building

SUPPORT THE CHICKEN SHOW.

Within the next few days com mittee, representing the Jefferson County Poultry Association will call on the business men of this city for contributions to fund, which will be used to make the next annual show of the Poultry Association a big suc- cess from an advertising as we'll as from a business standpoint. All, who can consistently do SO, should lend their financial and moral support to the exhibition.
 It is the intention of the county as- scciation to hold the state poultry show in connection with it's county show and if present plans are suc- cessful, and there is no doubting the success of the undertaking, the show will be one of the biggest and best of its kind ever held in the South. Since the last annual poultry show, which was the first ever held in Pine Bluff, hardware merchants and oth- CTS who supply farmers and chicken raisers, have recorded large in- crease in sales. The poultry show should be made permanent affair. 1t is something that will not only advertise Pine Bluff and Jefferson county to the outside world, but will have tendency to enlarge sentiment iD favor of poultry raising here. The chicken industry is something that should be encouraged by every mer- chant in the city.

At sight of the smiling groom, the
throng on the platform grew frantic
with excitement, pandemonium reigned.
and in the senli-darkness, scarce not
ing the features of the little lady with
the veil, each made a rush and all tried
to grab her at the same time. She
was showered with kisses by fifty boys
and girls, she was squeezed and Rugged
promiscuously, while the heavens
seemed to open and a storm of rice
descended that made the platform look
like the snow scene in Way Down
East" Despite her cries for help and
protestations at this osculatory eXuber-
ance, they continued to hug and kiss
her, no matter which way she turned.
AS she was about to faint with ex-
haustion, tall man pushed his way
through the crowd took her by the
arm and conducted her safely to u
waiting carriage, while the boys and
girls chung to her to the last.
In the meantime, the groom was
standing on the lower step of the car
gesticulating wildly, trying to explain
that there had been a mistake, that all
the time the merry-makers were
smotherng the little woman with
kisses, the bride had been left stand
ing unattended, unrecognized and
alone, with no one offering her vel
come kiss or handshake of congratu-
lation, and instead of a welcome to q
happy bride, her friends in their ex-
element had mistaken dainty and de-
mure Lillian Goldsmith, who plays
Lois with "A stubborn Cinderella"
company, the coming Auditorium at
traction, for their newly welded chum.
Apologies We're in order, but ere they
could collect themselves sufficiently to
explain matters to Miss Goldsmith, her
carriage was being driven rapidly %
the theater. where the company was to
give a performance that evening, for
which she was already half an hour
late owing to her unlocked for and
startling adventure; the heartiest well
come she had ever received at a one
night stand station.

Darkness had covered the landscape as

platform was a beVy of pretty college
girls and handsome youths, all in the
gayest mood, anxiously looking down

Der of the jolly party had concealed
somewhere about them a little sack of
rice, which made the object of their
mission plain.
On the train bearing its crowd of
human freight rapidly toward their
destinations was a happy bride and
groom, college chums of the enthuS-
iastic throng awaiting at the station.
They had deceived their many friends,

to Grand Forks, and in that tlissful
moment had answered Yes" and
were now returning to receive forgive

and mothers and the congratulations of
their college friends.
AsSthe train steamed into the station
the crowd surged around the porter of
the Pullman as he placed the footstool
for the passengers to alight. Ere the
train stopped the vestibule was
crowded with travellers anxious to
reach their destination; ire first of
these to gain the steps was a petite
young lady whose face was partially
concealed by veil. AS she emerged
from the train in her trim, little tailor
made suit, she was closely followed by
the smiling groom, while directly be-

who in stature was not unlike the one

was a heterogeneous array OF strug-
