O-my-o! He-haw! Yum! Here it
IS! Two fair damsels of Providence,

ana Waded into each other to settle

Dont know what I'd do if | were in

THE SUFFRAGETTE..

She stands in regal splendor-
The woman of to-day
The queen of home, and likewise
Of regions far away.
She looks upon the failures
That boastful man has made
In every line of business
And every field of trade.
And then she presses forward
And opens every door
That had been barred against her
And this the men deplore.
In every field of action,
No matter where or when,
She takes the gage of battle
And wins against the men.
The home is hers supremely,
And there she'll ever shine,
But woman is no longer
A helpless, clinging vine.
The star of hope is rising
Along the social skies;
She reads it's faithful message
With calm, far-seeing eyes.
She'll vote against the bar-room,
The brothel and the den,
Where virtue falls a victim
To lust of wicked men.
Shut up, you fogy towards
Who sound the warning note
Who think it would be fatal
To let the women vote.
You sing the praise of woman
In homes enchanted realm;
Why fear We for the nation
With woman at the helm?
SO here's to Woman Suffrage
And all it may denote;
brlng on your snow-white ballots
And let the women vote.

NO. A..

don't. Of course it might have been
the best thing that ever happened to
him, but you couldn't make him
see it that way to save your life. The
poor fellow has built dream castles;
he has imagined for himself all the
happiness that his heart could hold;
and then he has seen the dream go
all to smash, like a rose bud when a.
COW steps on it. The cottage for
two" dwindles down to bachelors
bedroom with no fireplace and. not
half enough cover. He has to sew on
his own buttons and darn his own
socks, and if he "darns', a few other
things in the time of it, we know very
we'll there's a reason.
At least half the bachelors would
rather be husbands, but they can
the poor fellows don't have any
chance. They somehow miss the COM
bination to the matrimonial game.
They can't get the kind of women they
want, and the kind they could get the
devil wouldn't have. And SO they have
to back up into the shalves of bach
elorhood and singlefoot it down the
path of life to the tune of What Is
Home Without Petticoat A-Hangin'
On a Nail?'
Tax the bachelors? Nit. Tax the
pumpkin because it amt water
melon. Tax a blind man because he
can't see But for the Lords sake
don't put any more burdens on the,
bachelor. He is miserable enough as
| it is.
P. 81 am not a bachelor.

DON'T TAX THE BACHELOR.

Some rose-comb rooster recently
writ me ream of rot in which he i'm
plored me to turn my biggest guns
on the Old Bachelors and give them a
blistering bounce. But / ain't a-goin'
to do it, nary step | amt Instead of
that, am going to hang this modern
Haman with the same rope that he
wanted me to hang the Old Bachelors
with.
The unreasonable cuss wanted me
to advocate a bachelor tax, making
the poor old bachelors pay tax of
ten dollars a year on their misery.
Now, dearly beloved, I suspect there
are two kinds of bachelors-those who
want to be bachelors and those who
don't. | might take a notion to vote
fora tax on those who want to be
bachelors those who have had plenty
of chances to escape bachelorhood
and wouldn't take advantage of them
but the poor fellow who tries his
inferna1est to get woman and cant
.-@for him / have no feeling but pity.
You can blame the men for being
bachelors all you please, but in most
cases they are not to blame. The
women are getting so doggon inde-
pendent these days that a fellow has
got to fish with mighty tempting bait
If he catches one.
Let a man fall head over heels in
love; let him write spring poetry and
love letters; let him lose four nights
a week sitting up with the dear thing;
let him be just as big fool as the
average 1ove-sick fool ever gets to be;
and. then let the dear thing trot off
and marry some other pair Of
breeches. Do you think the fellow
who got left ought to be taxed?

Boys, there is only one of me.
can only be in one place at a time.
But The Fool-Killer is a multiplied
edition of myself, and it can be pres
ent in many places at once. It can
go wherever the mails go, and it can
talk better than I could talk If were
there in person.
The printing press is great ma
chine. 1t enables man to multiply
himself and send himself out over the
world. Thus he is able to form a
much larger circle of acquaintances
than he could otherwise do. If a man
has something important to say and
can only talk by word of mouth, his
field Of usefulness is necessarily lin
tied. But If he takes advantage Of
the printing press and multiplies his
thoughts on paper he can send his
personality to the ends of the earth
and make friends with people who
will never see him in the flesh I
want to inject my own individuality
into the columns Of, The Fool-Killer
to such an extent that my readers
everywhere can feel that old Pearson
himself is talking to them from the
printed page.
And to you, dear readers who
have already stuck your feet under
my literary table and feasted your
center of sensation on my intellectual
cookin' Ito you must look for help
in getting myself introduced among
strangers. Every one of my more
than ten thousand readers knows
hundreds of people that don't know.
If you will introduce me to all the
folks you know, and the other fellow
will introduce me to all the folks, he
knows. will soon know most every-
body and most everybody will know
me. And when get everybody az
quainted with this multiplied edition
of myself-The Fool-Killer-then I
will be able to do some talking worth
listening to. Every new subscriber
means a little more money, and the
more money / get the sassier / can
talk.

Every son-of-a-gun of us suckers
ought to fall headlong on our stom-
achs three times a day and thank God
that wind, water and salvation are
free, if nothing else is. THE Square
Deal. The above sounds very strange
coming from an editor who has re-
peatedly expressed his disbelief in
any God and who has put himself
down as disciple of old Bob Inger-
soil. Down deep in their heathenish
hearts these Smart Eleck infidels
don't believe their rotten lies. If they
do, what in the mischief makes them
#stagger off onto expressions like the
above expressions that give the di-
rect lie to their creed?

WANT LITTLE ROCK
 BACK IN LEAGUE
AFTER MOBILE FRANCHISE
CAPITAL CITY FANS HOPE TO HAVE BASEBALL NEXT
 SEASON.

Little Rock, July 31.-While nc pubic statement has been made by those having the arrangements in hand, it is understood Little Rock will be back in the Southern League next summer, though the local fans will not pay the price Mobile expects for its franchise. From Mobile reports. the owners of that club expect in the nelghborhood of S25,000 before they will turn loose. They will never get 1t. Little Rock was frozen out of the league and forced to take half that sum for it's franchise, which had one year to run. There are enough loyal fans to put up $15,000, but anything over that they consider hold-up.
 Little Rock expects to be a Sunday ball town within the next few years. and the fans hope this will be an add ed inducement to the southern ito take back the Travellers. The removal of D. A. Hegarty to New Orleans, where he becomes general manager of the electric street railway lines, means much toward Little Rock getting back in class A baseball. General Manager

GIRLS GLEE CLUB
SEEK DESERTED
 CH|LD'S MOTHER

Little Rock, July 31.-State Hu- mane Officer W. M. Rankin received a telephone message Sunday after noon informing him there was a wom- an staying at night in an old mill near Lonsdale, Saline county, and who was apparently demented. Officer Rankin has requested the Saline coun- ty officers to apprehend the woman, as he believes she is the mother of a six year-old boy desterted in Little Rock last week.
 Some horse-traders were camped on the Nineteenth street pike. They They came to town to do some trad ing, and later a woman ran to the house of woman in the vicinity, ask ing to leave her six-year-old son for a short time, as the horse-traders had run off with her stock of money. This woman had been living at the camp and was supposed to be the wife of one of the men. She was later seen walking hurriedly past the Four Mile grocery, and following the traders. The telephone message said the wom- an spent the day in the woods and would not come near any one. Officer Rankin is of the opinion she is in- sane, or that she deserted the child, which was kidnapped at some time by the gypsies. The child is now in the hands of the officer and gives his name as Roy Moore.

MORE AND BET-
 TER PASTURES
(By Clay Sloan, Commissioner of Az
 riculture.)

(By Clay Sloan, Commissioner of Ag-
 riculture.)
 In the south we may ordinarily get two crops each year from most of our land. Yet few of us get them. In fact, few of us really appreciate the fact that if our agricultural opportun- ities are greater here than elsewhere. it is mainly because our climate per- mits the double crop system. We can follow oats by cowpeas, the early crop of potatoes may be followed by a late crop, peas or crimson clover may be sown in the cotton and corn. Thus, We may build up our soil while utiliz- ing it to the utmost
 We need to plant more forage crops. If we make the cheapest and best meat we must have several fields of cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, patches of rape and bermu- da pastures. We can produce cheaper and better meat here than elsewhere, but We can't do this unless we have plenty of pasture land and plenty of forage crops. We can't produce cheap meat on corn alone.
 This system of livestock farming will reduce our meat bills, our grocery bills, our fertilizer bills. We shall be able to put aside the proceeds of our cotton sales as so much surplus money. The fertility of our soils will increase and the genera lprosperity of our peo- pie will increase.
 We should establish a system of per- manent pastures. Put the idle acres to work growing forage crops or ber- mudas. Try bermuda and white clov- CT, bermuda and red-top, or bermuda and lespedeza. When a piece of land does not give Che results it should give do not turn it out to weeds, but put it in pasture. Keep it at work. The soil like human beings, fares better when it is doing some useful work

Hegarty, in his year spent in Little Rock was the chief factor in the team being retained as long as it was. He is great believer in Little Rock, and though in New Orleans, he will still work to Little Rocks interests as far as he can. He will, as traction com pany manager, have much influence in New Orleans, and he can be counted on to turn the Crescent City in favor of Little Rock.

INTEREST IN TENT
 MEETING GROWING

Saturday night at the tent Rev. j.. Clarence Dawson spoke from Phil
 1:21 and insisted that people should live as Paul did; that since Christ had died for us we should be willing to live for him. Sunday morning his subject was the word of God. He plead for all sufliciency of the word of God, showing from the scripture that the word quickened; that we were begotten by the word, and that we were born again by the word. At last nights service the tent was soon filled and many remained on the out side listening attentively to him as he again spoke of the word of God. He said in part, that when we heard the word of God we should not receive it as the word of man, but of God. That the word of God was the seed of the kingdom, that it was incorruptible seed; that it was living and active, and that it was spirit and life. That Gods word was written because God intended to make a settlement with the human family at the judgment, and the word was that by which the settlement would be made, and the word was written to produce faith, and that children of God should not sin. At the close of this service there was one confession, making three ad- ditions during the meeting. Rev. Dawson's subject tonight will be: Faith" All are invited to attend.
