THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.
It's a gay old world when you're
gay,
And a glad old world when you're
glad,
but whether you play
Or go toiling away,
It's q sad old world when you're
sad.
It's a grand old world if you're
great,
ANA a mean old world if you're
small;
It's a world full of hate
For the foolish who prate
OF the. uselessness of it all.
It's a beautiful world to see,
Or it's dismal in every zone;
The thing it must be
In your gloom or your glee
Depends on yourself alone.

Later news from the Forrest City Frying Pan Club was that they all slept on a limb until next day, and their dogs. after guarding the hollow log all night and until sunup, lay down for nap in the warm sunshine, being puckered out with hunger. And while they slept, from out the log stealthily came not a lion-but monstrous Didel-

 There is deep-seated and crystal ized sentiment throughout this sec tion of the country against the four wire fence. It does seem that there is cause for this, since it is an indis- putable fact that the fence Is inefec- tive and not capable of protecting the crops from the ravages of stock. With thousands Of tons of various kinds of hog food with which our wildS abound, 1t is nothing short of foresight and ex- travagance to let it go to waste when meat is ranging around l5c to. 25c per pound Within the last decade our lands have increased in value at a mar vicious rate in many instances a thousand per cent.
