In Memoriam

The watch is over. Loving
hands have done all that could be
done. Brother Peter Hansen has
fallen asleep.
On Monday, November 4th, just
after the clock had struck the noon
hour the end came. His illness
was of more than months dura-
ton and toward the last for several
days there seemed to be no chance
for his recovery, but how truly it
has been said, "As long as there is
| life there Is hope" His loved ones
and friends are bowed down with
grief. Let us not weep but rejoice,
for we believe that he is now at
rest. We should not look at the
grave as the end Of life, No, to the
Christian it Is but the entering into
a fuller and richer life; a life OF per-
pect happiness.
Brother Hansen was born in Ger
many on June 8, 1851, He joined
the Lutheran church in 1857 lie
came to America while a young
man, and joined the Methodist
church at Camp Ground, in SHARP
county, in 1875. He was married
to Margaret E, Schales December 7
1873. To this union were given
nine children, six of whom are liv-
ine, Mrs. Mary Burns and Albert
Hansen of lizard county, Mrs, Rose
Weller Of Calico Rock, Mrs, Mamie
Nicholson, Miss Maggie and George
Hansen of Sharp county.
Much we would love to say Of
Bro. Hansen. He was a true Christ.
ian, loyal to his God, his family and
his church; a friend to everyone
Those who knew him best loved
him most.

SMALL SAVINGS
A Splendid Editorial On A
Fault Common To Very
Many People.

One of the great faults OF the
young American of today is his i'm
patience with small results.
Many a man remains in ignor-
ance because he is not content to
learn one thing at a time. And
many more remain on the ragged
edge of poverty because they are
not content to make money a dollar
at a time.
Propose to the average young
man Of today a safe plan by which
he may invest SIS a week for a year
and draw IS per cent dividend on
it, and he will turn up his nose at
it. Five dollars a week accumu-
lates to only $3.50 in a year, and Is
per cent on that is only S39-a
mere baeatelle, not worth bother
ing about, thinks the average young
American; or maybe his imaeina'
tion and. .persistency are not great
enough to see and value the end OF
the year,
The newspapers tell Of the daily
making Of millions. Compared
with such..princely profits the sum
Of $3.50 seems not worth striving for
But the fact is that IS per cent
Is great profit for any ones money
whether he have little or much
And the chances are that the young
man who is not content to have his
SIS O week earn profit will never
have any larger sum to bait his
hook with.
An immense proportion of the
people of this country live up to
their incomes, saving nothing for
the traditional rainy day. Because
they cannot save q thousand dollars
In a bunch they save nothing,
We hear of great fortunes made
In a moment. But that is not the
common way. Ordinarily great

fortune is built up like a stone wall
a stone at a time.
And the young man who declines
to lay the first stone, because it
comes so far short of a wall, will
never make progress in financial

if the young man t.. will manage his
business just right he ought not to
die in the poor house.

r President Wilson will stand for
federal aid to the public roads.
He says: "A nation is bound to-
. gether by its means of communica-
ton, and its means of communica-
ton create its thought. see that
we must do what we have been
backward in doing as compared
: with other nations"
900
A few days since the Arkansas
; Gazette contained the news that
: a citizen of Sharp county, no name
; given, had called on H. L. Remmel,
the republican boss, to get pointers
that would assist him in securing
an appointment as United States
J marshal. We don't know the man,
but there's nothing strange about a
Sharp county democrat wanting a
good seat at the pie counter. Ev-
erybody's doin' it now.
900
The quorum court of Conway
county appropriated $4,000 for
farm demonstration work; Dallas
: county appropriated $1,000; Sebas-
tian county $4,000, and Pulaski
county $1,000. These counties
have all had this demonstration
work and increased their appropria-
tions for its continuance. 1t is
worthy Of note that more than
forty counties have provided for
demonstration work next year.
600
We see this fact sticking out in
connection with the idea of dividing
} up the property of the country and
; making a division among the peo-
pie: The fellow who is calling
loudest for a division wouldn't have
a thing in the world to throw in
the heap; therefore his portion Of
the transaction would represent a
matter of clear profit. And then,
! of course, when his part OF the
first division had soon vanished
he would be ready for another
division. We can't believe it right
} to place premium upon idleness
or laziness. What we do believe in
is a just reward for all labor
equal rights and opportunity of
improvement to every man.

Of course you've noticed that
the boys and girls who get married
| these days are not having the knot
! tied at the church or at home like
the boys and girls of other days
did. The decided preference now
is for the mild, mellow moonlight,
the calm, still night, with the beau
tiful, twinkling stars as witnesses.
, Or out in the open, in the cooling
shades Of the giants Of the mighty
forest, on natures carpet Of green,
green grass, mid the verdance Of
the woods, the songs Of the pretty
little birds and the merry, merry

I prove it by the young people them
