ssnsi+iveness Of the Compass.

Here is a strange tale Of the sea re-
vealed in a recent admiralty order.
The compass Of one of her majesty's
ships suddenly became strangely and
violently detected. After a host Of in
conclusive speculations the helmsman
naIvely wondered whether his medical
truss had anything to do with the case.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
this instrument was highly magnetized
and responsible for the variations. So
henceforth no trussed sailor is to be
permitted at the wheel May not this
discovery supply the key to sundry
nautical mishaps never yet satisfac-
torily explained?-London Truth.

CONNECTS ON THE ROAD
Judge Craig Building Road From
 Newark to Paroquet

The county convicts were brought in Saturday and put to work on the public road from Paroquet to Newark. Some good work has been done on the roads in various parts of the county in this manner, the work having been inaugurated by Judge Peare, and is being continued by Judge Craig with good results.
 The road the eonvictS are now at work on has always been a very bad peice of road, and no better place could have been selected to demonstrate the value of proper road construction.
 The work is being done by Judge A. J. Craig under the provisions of the Patterson law, which permits the working of the state convicts on the public roads of the county from which they were sentenced.
 Judge Craig is well pleased with the results, and says 1t costs the county only about twenty-five cents day for each convict work ed, the only expense being the cost of feeding the prisoners and pay ing an overseer to direct the work and care for the men.

SHALL WOMEN VOTE?
A Few Reasons Given Why They Should Have a Voice in Mat
 ters of Government

MT. Editor. A bill has been in- troduced in the legislature to sub init a constitutional amendment to the people of Arkansas, giving the women the right to vote on equal terms with men. Arkansas should not tolerate the present low politi- cal position of women, now that other states are raising them to the dignity of full citizenship. Women already vote in Wyoming, Colorado Idaho, Utah and Wash ington, and at the next elections the voters of Kansas and California will decide whether they want to give them the ballot. Will Arkan- sas fall behind?
 Women have a right to vote; 1t IS just. They pay taxes, if they own property; they must obey the laws; many support themselves and their families. Women's chef place is in the home, yet their children may turn out badly because poor schools or the presence of immoral places in the neighborhood. But women have no voice in regulating these forces, which for good or evil so yitally affect their work. They should have some voice in saying what the laws under which they work, either at home or abroad, are to be, and by whom they are to be administered. And taxation without representation IS tyranny"
 The only reason for not giving the vote to any class of people in a democracy IS because they are mentally, or morally incompetent to vote. Will the men of Arkansas say this about their wives, daugh- ters and mothers? P. E. L.
