Only Il Letter

Only letter, from far away,
Only letter, what does it say?
How glad am! / hope she's we'll
I'll read it first, then can tell
Yes it's from her, wonder why
There comes unbid this broken sigh?
And strange, sad thoughts that stir my soul,
Uncalled, unheld by earth's control.
Only letter, I've read it now,
It's words have burned somehow
Into my very soul and heart,
As learn that she and must part.
These are the words: Il cannot bear
To longer keep your name, and share
The shame you've brought into my life;
l cannot longer be your wife,"
Only letter-life's dream is Ger,
Shall | walk with her by my side no more?
Is the last tie broken on earth for me!
Shall we meet no more till eternity!
Shall my baby son forget my name?
And remember only his fathers shame?
Will the cup pass from my life, or be
Forever to me, Gethsemane!
Only letter, yet vision near
There comes form, an image clear;
A face-a dear remembered face;
And loving arms in loves embrace.
But alas, it dies upon the air,
And the voice once heard is where
/ shall hear it no more except it be
In the haunted halls of memory.
Only letter, and the last one too,
Of little bundle tied in blue,
That breathed such hope, and love, and cheer
l shall keep them all, 1 have them here.
And this last shall be set apart
AS tomb to hope, IN broken heart;
The years shall guard this little tomb,
And memory keep it fresh with bloom
Only letter, breathe once more,
The prayer oft mixed with tears before,
That while my earthly race / run:
20 Father, let Thy will be done!'
mo hope, 'tis said, though buried deep,
But angles DER it vigils keep;
No love in Sepulchre shall stay,
For God will roll the stone away"

SENATOR TURNER
 MAKES REPORT
 FOR COMITTEE

Senator Turner for the com mittee apointed in the Senate to investigate charges of wholesale bribery that had been made by Representative Little, presented the committee report Monday af- ternoon. He declared that t h e charges impugh dishonesty to every member of the Senate, and that he sincerely wished t h Q charges to be sifted to the bot tom, that the shadow of suspicion might be removed from those guiltless of all wrong. But MT. Little has refused to give names or other facts to support his as- sertions, and for that reason he resented mputations that were unfair and unjust to the whole membership of the Senate. He declared that it was not neceS- sary to play the demagogue to reflect on the Senate, and as Mir. Little had so far failed to advance any proof of his reckless charges it might be presumed that no such proof exists.
 The committee report sub mitted to the Senate resists that Mr. Little "contended under \ the constitution he, as a Represen- tative of Arkansas, while acting as such, could not under h nstitution be compelled to stes- tify or to give any information concerning any corrupt practices in the Legislature known to him."
 The committee adds that in view of the fact that he hides be- hind what he terms constitution al rights, candor compels us to say that the only just conclusion is that his charges are ground1 less and he at least has denied us the privilege and right to ex- pei any person or persons charg ed by him, since he is the only person, so far as is known, hay ing or claiming to have such in formation claimed for him.
 Mr. Little, whose resignation was refused, and who is again on the floor, denies that he sought refuge behind constitutional pre- rogative, but says that he inform ed the committee he would give bis information to the Pulaski county grand jury when sum. moned before that body.

How to Make a Real
Wrinkle Remover
(From Fashion Reporter.)

In these days of cleverly advertised
tbeautifiers" of 81 varieties and more,
it is hard for any women to believe
that she can make a simple home rem
edy which will do her much more
good, and cost her much less than
the average made preparation. Take
the subject of wrinkles, for instance.
There is nothing in the world so eff
fective for removing or preventing
wrinkles, baggy cheeks and double
chins, as solution of saXolite and
witch hazel
Get an ounce of pure powdered
saxolite from any drug store, dissolve
the full ounce in a half pint of witch
Aazel and use the mixture daily as a
refreshing lotion. The quick and sat
isfactory results will surprise you.
Even after the very first application
there is marked Improvement. The
wrinkles are less in evidence and the
face has firm. solid feeling that
is very comforting.
