A W0MAN'S HEART.

woman's heart is a savings bank
Where the love you deposit lies
Gathering interest day by day
From the sunshine of the skies
There isn't a safer place. my lad
To bury the treasure you'd keep
Than down in its beautiful vaults of dream
Where the tenderest blossoms sleep
woman's heart is the place 10 hide
Whatever you'd treasure best;
For she'll give it back the years go by
In love that's more than rest
A womans heart is storage vault.
Where nothing breaks in to steal
Except the honor you fail to pay
And the love you forget to feel
A love you have placed there once remains,
And you may forget, but she
Will give it back if you want it So
And smile as she hands the key
Smile, but never forget my lad
That smile is the saddest thing
When it's over the ashes Of something dead
And the heart is broken wing
a woman's heart is fortress strong
Where your foes never come,
With prancing steeds and the cleaning sword
And the rat-tat of the drum
For that which you treasure she will defend
And loud as the guns may roll
She ii stand in the breech to the very end
And then she will fight with her SOUL
A woman's heart-I would rather trust
My all unto that, know,
For love in the keeping of such place
Will grow as the blossoms grow

 LIFE ONLY A DREAM.

Little Rock, Sept. 27. Amos Splnks, negro eXpressman aged B years, was executed today the ait tic of the Pulaski county jail for the murder of his wife, Polly Spinks, last fall. His only defense was that the woman, considerably younger than he, was unfaithful to him. She was shot down in cold blood, and he then emptied his revolver into her body as she lay on the ground He escaped to Memphis, where he was captured a few months later by Constable w. A. Jones.
 Spinks maintained his nerve to the last, declaring that life is only a dream anyway, and that he had been prepared to die for the last 37 years. He wanted no ministers to see him, and also asked that his relatives should not come to see him. His fath- CT. who lives at DeSoto, Mo. sent him T suit of clothes in which to be buried, but he would not accept them

SHERIFF RETURNS
 WITH PRISONER

Sheriff J s, Johnson returned last night from Gillam, Sevier county bringing with him as prisoner, j D. Smith, who was indicted by the Faulkner county grand jury last July for the crime of carnal abuse. Smith who formerly lived at Vilonia, had remarried only about six weeks be- fore his arrest, but Sheriff Johnson states the prisoners father-in-law de- chned to make bond in the sum of $500 for Smiths appearance, al- though the former is a well-to-do man. The alleged crime for which Smith was indicted, is said to have resulted in Smiths first wife secur- ing a divorce from him about two years ago.

AVERAGE SCHOOL TERM
 IS FOUR DAYS LONGER
TOTAL COST OF COM M o N SCHOOLS FOR YEAR NEARLY
 FOUR MILLIONS.

Little Rock, Sept. Statistics just compiled by the department of education show that during the last year the increase in the average school term of the state was four days, which means 1,795,344 school days, or complete common school education for BOSS children. The schools of the state cost a total of $32, ,000 a day, so that the increase alone represents an increase of $12S,- 900 in the cost.
 The total cost of the common schools of the state for the year was $3,S37 ,594.0S, and the total income from all sources, including an unex- pended balance of $1,398, ,699.41 at the beginning of the year, was $5,- 275,653.37, and the uneXpended bal ance had increased to SLABS, 104 29 It is thus shown that the $50,000 per annum high school aid now provided by legislative act is more than com pensated by the increase in the fnan- cial balance.

WIFE DENIED DIVORCE.

One of the most stubbornly- y-contest- ed cases decided at the term of chan eery court which ended yesterday was that of Maggie Harris vs. George Harris. The defendant in the case, who is a well-to-do negro living near Saltillo, was sued by his wife for di- vorce and alimony, the plaintiff al- leging cruel and inhuman treatment. Harris admitted having administered punishment at times to his wife, but claimed he was justifiable in doing so and the punishment was not excessive or cruel. After hearing the evidence, Judge Wallace denied the complaint.

CENTRAL. HOME
 NEARLY FILLED

Wit the arrival of several new stu dents this week, accommodations in the Central College "home" can be provided for only four more boarding students, according to President John w. Conger. As at least dozen ad- ditional students are expected to en- ter within the next two weeks, the majority of them will have to be ac- commodated in the cottage home, in charge of Mrs. E. R. Bailey and Prof. and Mrs. W. G. Utermoehlen. Dr. Conger says the number of boarding students is considerably in excess of last year, as during the summer several rooms formerly occu- pied by faculty members or used as class rooms were converted into quar- ters for the young ladies, thus in creasing the accommodations of the home.

BARBECUE ENDS
 BIG CONVENTION BEDE AND HARLAN SPEAK WATERWAYS DELEGATES FA FOR UNIFORM IMPROVE
 MENT POLICY.

Little Rock. Sept. 27.-The seventh annual convention of the Lakes-to- the-Gulf Deep Waterways Associa- tion adjourned Thursday evening The final session was devoted to the presentation and adoption of the re- port of the committee on resolutions reaflirming the resolutions of St Louis and other preceding conven- tions, and amplifying and emphasiz- ing them. The convention went on record Tn the strongest language pos sible as being in favor of the adop- tion of a general, uniform correlated policy of waterways improvement for the whole Mississippi valley from the Pacific to the Atlantic watershed, al so that the Panama canal equipment shall be transferred to the valley for the furtherance of the unified pro ject.
 An old fashioned southern barbe- cue was given the guests and every body else at Forrest park at noon, and several thousand people were bounteously provided. After the barbecue, the delegates and others were entertained for an hour by John Maynard of Chicago and J. Adam Bede, the celebrated wit who served Minnesota in congress for six years. They were roundly applauded, and Mir. Bede especially kept the audience in an uproar. They are the personal representatives of President Taft, and have been camping on the trail of the Bull Moose, although in their speeches here politics was eschewed and their remarks were devoted to the project under consideration. They left on the afternoon train for Mem phis, where they spake last night and will close their present tour at Chattanooga tomorrow.
 Peoria was the unanimous choice of the convention as the next place of meeting of the association. Invita- tions were presented from Mobile and New Orleans, but the claims of these cities were not pressed.

At 10 o'clock the famous parade of the Gentry Brothers shows will leave the grounds. It will traverse the principal thoroughfares, presenting to old and young alike their nearest dream of fairyland.
 The Gentry Brothers shows, which are the worlds pioneers in trained animal exhibitions, have been so en- laged that they now present the re- alistic tanning of leopards of the jun gle and other ferocious beats within canvas coliseums.
 A large portion of the youth of the community will welcome the trains on arrival, because this feature appeals to both old and young Gentry Broth CTS all new feature shows will give two performances in this city, Satur- day, September 28. These displays will be upon larger and grander scale than ever before in the two de- cades of the Gentry Brothers career.
