AUGUST :,

What wonderful month is August!
How opulent with natures charm! Inc
histories tell us the month was named ior
proud Roman emperor, but 1t IS not OF
this that we care to write, Back III the
sprinatime orchards and meadows were
ilntles of bloom athr0b with the songs OF
happy birds and winging bees. But
miracle has been wrought when August
comes and we see the trees in the orchard
bending with golden fruit and catch the
scent of neW-rnoWn hay from the meadow
A comfeld, famed by an August gale,
speaks language we cannot iall 10 love
From the furroW which the farmer, MADE
in the sprngtime springs the bread OF lie.
Look at the cotton fields in August. Mil
lions of blooms born in the shuttle OF a
sunbeam, point their white and crimson
buples to a summer sun and die only When
they reach the waiting loom where lab
ric il made which clothes and warns the
world. Natures most wonderful evolu-
ton takes place from April to August. We
pity the city man in his office who takes
no notice of the changing seasons except
on the calendar, who never sees a rural
landscape. Shut in by masonry and car
pentry, living with ledeers moving among
master minds, listening to the click OF the
telegraph or the jingle of silver and gold
what does life mean to men in such busy
marts of trader Not what It means to the
farmer. Tear up the calendar and we
can tell when August comes-by the
tinkle of the cattle bell and the low of the
cows at evening milking time; by the
twinkle of the golden stars at night and
the tempered light of the silver moon; by
the way the FURNISHED sun rises clear In
the morning and sinks to rest In couch
of clouds at night. August Is all poetry

state get no practical benefit from
the expenditure, because the State
Guard at best is nothing but a sort
of ornament, and in the light of re-
cent developments this ornament is
becoming a doubtful one. The
State Guard is made up largely, not
altogether, of youths hardly ration
al or responsible, who are members
of the Guard chiefly to get a uni
form and have a good time. In
addition to having a good time at
the expense of the taxpayers, who
are always called upon to pay the
freight, lots Of these bold Guards
men have a very noticeable case of
swell-head, which, however, costs
the people nothing extra. One-halt
of them probably could not take
the most accurate shotgun in the
state and put a shot into a pecker-
wood at a distance of twenty steps,
and it has never been proved that
many of them would fight for their
country with the same boldness
with which they attack a negro
pool hall. If this state ever gets in
real danger, which is not at all like
ly, the man who happens to be GOV
ernor at the time will no doubt
have the good judgment to send for
those who have corns in their
hands and understand squirrelrifes
to come to the defense Of the coun-
try. Patriotism is most noble
quality. Red-tape patriotism, when
there is no occasion for display of
valor, is quite another thing. The
Arkansas State Guard is red tape.
The name sounds big, but that's
about all there is to it. 1t is not
worth what it costs.

We understand that those lizard
county cattle tick inspectors make
a daily report of their work to the
government. We have often won

number of miles they run and If
they give the exact number of min

mile when hotly pursued. That
would be interesting information

In Memphis and Nashville and

Knoxville, there are two thousand
places where whiskey is sold in vio-

number of saloons reduced to one for
every thousand or five thousand, and
these saloons controlled, then there
should be a much better order of
things than the present awful con-
dition.--Batesville Guard.

the authorities would not permit
the sale Of whiskey there would be
a much better order Of things than
the present awful condition. Every

Is sold without authority of law.

ROBERT HALSAM, PONY
EXPRESS RIDER, DIES IN WANT

CHICAGO. March l--Robsrt Halsam.
q years old. widely known a generation
ago as Pony Bob" died in want here
last night. For many years he was famed
as a pony express rider and Indian
flgher throughout the west.
He was the daring rider who carried
the news OF Abraham Lincoln's election
as president through country beset by
hostile Indians. II was this ride which
brought his greatest fame.
When the white settlers at Cold Springs
were threatened with massacre in 1850
Halsam rode through the Pluto country
In Nebraska and brought aid. Twice on
that trip he shot his way through the In
dian lines.
Later the veteran held commission as
scout under General Nelson A. Miles.
Colonel william r. Cody was Malsams
chief of scouts at that time.
Colonel Cody started subscription TO
care for Halsam last summer, when H.
became known that the former pony ex-
press rider had suffered a paralytic
stroke.
