THE CONQUEROR.

It's easy to laugh when the skies are
blue,
And the sun is shining bright;
Yes, easy to laugh when your friends
are true
And there's happiness in sight;
But when hope has fled and the
skies are gray,
And the friends of the past have
turned away,
All, then indeed it's a hero's feat
To conjure a smile in the face of
defeat.
It's easy to laugh when the storm is
DER
And your ship is safe in port;
Yes, easy to laugh when you're on
the shore
Secure from the tempest's sport;
BIT when wild waves wash DER the
storm swept deck
And your gallant ship is battered
wreck,
All, that is the time when it's well
worth while
To look in the face of defeat with a
smile.
It's easy to laugh when the battles
fought
And you know that the victorys
won;
Yes, easy to laugh when the prize
you sought
Is yours when the race is run;
But here's to the man who can laugh
when the blast
OF adversely blows, he will conquer
at last,
For the hardest man in the world
to beat
Is the man who can laugh in the
face of defeat

 VOTE ON FENCES

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-The two rep resentatives of Miller county in the house and senate, MT. Sims in the house and Friedell in the senate, are planning legislation which will in the future do away with all stock and four-wire fence acts in the general as- sembly, by leaving these matters e~ tirely to the people of the county. MT. Sims onw has bill for introduc- ton, which will provide a stock law for one township of Miller county, but it will leave the question to be voted on by the people of the township. The law will be so worded when this bill passes that all over the state the people can settle their own stock law questions. MT. Friedell will make his four-wire fence a local bill, but the sections will be so general that they will apply to all other counties of the state.

HENDRIX TO BE IN
 TWO DEBATES MILLSAPS &POLYTECHMIC COLLEGES WILL BE MET BY REPRESENTATIVES OF LO-
 CAL INSTITUTION.

Although their annual debate with Ouachta college has been called off, Hendrix college students will have ample opportunity to test their foren- sic abilities before the close of the present session. With debate with the Polytechnic school of Fort Worth, Tex, already arranged, Hendrix col lege students are now negotiating for a similar encounter with Millsaps col lege of Jackson, Miss, and the latter will doubtless be provided for.
 So sure is the student body that the debates will occur, committee was appointed yesterday by the joint ses- sion of the Franklin and Harlan lit- erary societies to select representa- tives to meet each of the two colleges. This committee is composed of G. c. Harrison, w. J. Reynolds and Paul Davidson, who will select team of two men for each of the debates.
 The initiative and referendum ques- ton will be the subject of the discus sion with Polytechnic Institute and the same will probably be selected for the debate with Millsaps, although the debate will not be triangular affair, as Millsaps and Polytechnic are not planning to meet each other. The events will occur in April or May of this year.
 Hendrix will meet Polytechnic at Fort Worth, and the place for the Hendrix -Millsaps debate is yet to be selected.

He states that man by the name of Baker has been prospecting between the Petit Jean and Maumelle mountains and his years of research ha sdeveloped ore which assays $9.09 in gold to the ton and $40 in copper. Mr. Baker will come to Little Rock within the next few weeks to take up the proposition of raising the $5,50O necessary to put in shelter on his claim, winch he thinks can be worked with great profit to all those interest ed in the mine.

PLANTING
 FLOWER GARDENS

The open space between the walks leading to the two main entrances of the Conway public school building is to be converted into a bed of beauti- ful flowers by the pupils of that insti- tuition. Yesterday afternoon Superin- tendent w. B. Hubbell had about a dozen wagon loads of rich loam dump ed into the space, the school boys hav- ing already loosened up the subsoil with pick and shovel. The flower seeds are to be planted and plants cared for by the agricultural classes of the school, which include both boys and girls. Prof. Hubbell says a remarka- ble interest is manifested in this branch since it became a part of the schools curriculum.

good legislator.

a good legislator.
 Had every county in the state such a representative as Capt. Martin, the work would be done in 30 days and there would be nothing to require the time of the legislature for another biennial period.
 Capt. Martin is not only revered by the members of the house, but the feeling they bear for him is marked only by the feeling between father and son. He is the only man who can get on the floor and command en- tire silence, but when Capt. Martin rises, all noise ceases in order that he may be heard.
 The only way to save the state is to send state savers to the states aid like Capt. Martin.

Manning last evening gave impression of reserved strength, fluent technic and unusual color throughout. Yesterday afternoon he played before the students of Gen. tral, who were delighed with his ef- forts in presenting some of the most difficult compositions.
