The Journal would like to see the good roads movement given a new start in Independence county. There is nothing we need more than good highways, and we have ample material right at hand to build them. If any citizen has any suggestions to offer along this line we extend him a cordial invitation to give them to the public through the columns of The Journal.

The town election is near at hand. The Journal has no more interest in the matter than any other good citizen ought to have, but we sincerely hope the people will choose good men to administer the town government, and men who will take an interest in push ing the town to the front. There are many public improvements we need and could easily secure if we would go after them in the right manner.

A marriage somewhat out of the ordinary took place over in Sharp county recently. Mollie Holdenfeld an inmate of the county pauper farm, pried open the door of her room one night and walked two miles alone through the darkness to the farm where the male paup- CTS are kept; the male and female paupers are kept on separate farms two miles apart. Here she was joined by Joe Bungarner, 2 blind man, who is also county pauper, and together they walked to Bates vile and were married. After they were married the couple went back to the county house to make their home. The county judge has unfeelingly declared that he is op- posed to the county maintaining a pauper hatchery, and threatens to turn them out.

According to the last census, Marion is the only county in the state that has nonegroes. Newton and Boone have only two negro men 21 years old, and Baxter three. In Ashley, Chicot, Crittenden, Desha, Drew, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lee, Lincoln, Monroe, Ouachita, Phillips, St. Francis and Woodruff counties the negro population out numbers the white. Pulaski has more negroes than any other coun- ty in the state, but the whites outnumber the negroes in that county. Crittenden county has the largest percentage of negro population of any county in the state, the negroes outnumbering the whites nearly five to one.

It is probably true that woman will never be mans equal on the field of battle, or in naval warfare, or in the athletic arena, or in the field of sport, as is suggested by the learned editor of an exchange, in a labored effort to prove that women should not be given the ballot. But upon what fundament- al principles is the science of gov ernment based; upon brute force, or upon the intelligent solution of the problems that will enable the governed to become better citizens, and the better dispensation of jus tice?

Why wouldn't it be a good idea for the town to clean out and con- crete the spring on the upper end of Front street to furnish a public watering place? If properly clean ed out and fixed up 1t would prob ably afford sufficient water for public use. It could be made a real nice place at small cost and would be great convenience.

Yes, a little. He is an orphan.

II surmise that Teddy's mother was
a lady. She died suddenly in Lon

Glasgow and married again-this
time woman who dragged him lower
and lower, until he also died, almost
in restitution. The boy has been
looked after in way by his STEP

get him adopted by some one rather

he replied indifferently. Obviously
the name had no meaning for him.
Eva could not understand the emo
ton in Eric's handsome face, nor the
tenderness with which he put his arm
round the boy, and so led him to Mrs.
Scott.
Aunt Helen" he said huskily,
whose brown eyes are these if not
Agnes? I we'll remember her!"
1t was late September now, and
Miss Raeburn was the guest of the
SCOTS at Saltcoats. Mrs. Scott occu-
pied her customary chair on the
porch, and at her feet her small
grandson listened with face of rap
ture to Aunt Clare's" recital of the
gallant deeds of Bruce and Wallace
a picture which Eva contemplated
with immense satisfaction from the
shelter of the dropping ash tree to
which Eric had conducted her.
Isn't it strange that just through
an old coat Mrs. Scott and her grand
son should have been brought to-
gether?" she unused.
1T is responsible, too, for my intro
duction to the dearest girl in the
world. You are that to me, Eva, and
more. I wonder-I wonder if you will
give me the sacred right to take care
of you, to protect you, and make you
happy till death do us part?'"
That the answer was satisfactory
may be gathered from a later remark
of Mrs. Scott:
Eric is dear, good boy, and al
| ways had been; but he will be better
still with such a jewel of a wife as
| Eva.

MARIsTs IN THE SOUTH SEAS.

To the Marists the entire group OF
islands in the South Pacific was con-
ided by the Holy See. Since 1884
thew have been travelling over the
waste of waters establishing missions
where they could and planning for
the day when they would be permitted
to erect their humble chapels and fill
them with the simple natives. Blessed
Chanel, who was martyred on the
Island of Futuna, first labored among
the fifty islands with Indifferent sue
cess. The advent of the Catholic mis-
sionary was opposed by the pagan
element and not less, so history
states, by the enemies of the Church.
One of the young priests in those
days who remained steadfast, hoping
against hope, was a Father Castaigne.
He died last year after ministry Of
fifty-three years, entirely barren OF
results as far as human judgment
goes. He first took up his station on
an island called Vivaou and remained
three years. He was succeeded by
Father Breton, who remained seven
teen years. In his voluntary cap
tivity he lived the words, so con-
stantly on his lips, ''be patient and
pray" He endured the lonesomeness,
the privations and open hostility with
heroic patience. In 1881 he said to
his Bishop who visited him: II have
not done much for God since I came to
Vivaou, but with His help will not
despair of making some converts.
am strong and I will live yet for
twenty years." God ordained other
wise, for two months later, far from
his companions in religion he died in
the arms of one of his native boys,
whom he was instructing for baptism.
Father Castagnier took his place
and for thirty years continued to live
the lonesome, dreary life of the
hermit priest, but happy withal. He
possessed the secret, he said, of being
happy in spite of difficulties On the
day he departed from his mission
house, fresh from the hands of the
Bishop, a newly-ordained priest, he
remembered the words said to him
In patience possess your SOUL and
all through his long missionary life
OF fifty-three years he lived according
ly, One of the first requisites for a
good Marist is to be able to live in
the wilderness or on some isolated
island and be happy withal If he is
able to enjoy the luxury of going once
or twice year to confession he is
fortunate.

THE POSITION OF WOMAN IN
INDIA.

The following details will show what
Christianity has done for WomanKlno.
All through the East the status or
woman is on a par with the animal.
It is almost incredible the treatment
accorded the women in India. Ine
name of woman is never applied to
her: she is better known by the name
of slave. The title of wife is never
applied to her, for that would be too
great a distinction. She is simply
rated as a domestic animal, who keeps
the household of her lord and master.
In the language of India, the words
used to describe or refer to animals
are used to describe her. In childhood
the sacrifice of woman commences.
A child eight years old is sold by her
narents in marriage The bridegroom
is not infrequently a man on in years.
In one district few years ago the
census showed out of population OF
three hundred million inhabitants
three million girls married around the
age of nine, and six million girls
married between the ages OF ten and
fourteen. These poor children are
simply household drudges. Only when
the husband has finished his meal is
she allowed to take any food. Under
no circumstances must she ever share
the meal of her husband. She must
never call him by name. Her address
is master" my 1ord,' my king"
or some kindred expression. He must
be to her almost a god. There is need
today of more missionary Sisters who
will he in constant contact with the
women and the child-wives and
widows and teach them the true
dignity of womanhood:

Here I met with success, and bap-

at the cost of $500 in the capital of
the district. A church full of Chinese
Christians is really splendid sight.
The men kneel on one side and the
women on the other. They chant all
their prayers and answer each other
alternately, like two choirs. The
morning and evening prayers take
about twenty minutes each, if we'll
said The prayers chanted at Mass
on Sundays and feast days are very
appropriate. Ii we had priest sta

PREACHING IN CHINESE.

Speaking of the acquisition of Chi
nese, an English-speaking priest of
Ning-po, in the province of Cheh-
Niang writes:
"A Chinese priest, rector of the Ca
thedral, preached and was amused at
the queer sound of the language, but
pleased and impressed at the evident
force of expression and ringing tone
of what was now my adopted tongue.
How I longed to be able to preach in
Chinese!-but I imagined that there
were four or five long years of hard
labor before me ere / could perform
that part. Little did I dream that in
less than five months would be max
ing the vaults of that same church

nese!
II did not remain long in Ning-po.
Finding that was not making enough
progress in Chinese I asked to be
sent to the seminary, which was then
on the Island of Chusan. Our Bishop,
!. always anxious to comply with every
legitimate desire of his priests,
granted my request. There I spent
four delightful months, having moth
ing to do but study Chinese with the
best professor obtainable, and con-
verse with the Chinese seminarians.

Holy Thursday. taking for my sub

estimable lady, or that she had re-
Gently gone to Excelsior Springs. Mo-,
for a final effort to regain her health
which has not been good for several
years. The Jews Of her death brought
grief to many friends, and left a de-
voted husband and father and three
children to mourn the loss of a dearly
beloved wife and mother.
Mrs. Olson was a daughter OF NJ r.
and Mrs. O. e. Hotter of Riverside,
and had been a resident of Lyman
county for a number of years before
her health was impaired. She came
home some time ago hoping for a
change and finally went to the Mis-
souri, health resort in a final effort to
regain her health but failed, answer
ing the Masters summons last week.
The remains arrived in Canton last
Saturday night and were taken In
charge by Undertaken Campbell and
the funeral service was held at Grand
Valley church Monday, Rev. Numme-
dial officiating, and many friends were
present to pay a final tribute to her
memory, and the LEADER joins with
them in extending sympathy to the
bereaved husband and children and to
the parents and other members OF the
family in their hour of sorrow.

at the home of her parents, the Hon.

host of acquaintance.
Miss Edith was furnished a badge
of the House Keeper Club" and 1t
goes without saying that she will don
it with as queenly grace as any queen

Miss KuhnS was the recipient OF
many favors of china, silver, cut glass
and linen, also the congratulations of
friends who wish for her an abund-

Although the weather was not fav'

day night to hear Attorneys Brown

to face with circumstances the church
must meet. The line of thought in
dicateS that while men are not at

are not without interest for the high
est good Of men through church in
huence. The addresses were interest
ing and we'll received.
Both speakers found the church ir
the midst Of a social, moral, business
environment, not favorable to church
life. The question arises: what has
the church done to allow such anvir
Onment to ariSe?" This question will,
be answered next Sunday night when
the same general subject will be dis
cussed again: "The Church From
