BROWNS CROSSING.

The cold wave and snow storm last
week put stop to oat-sowing here
and the rain last Sunday will make
the ground too wet to pillow this week,

While it is too wet to pillow, we hope
the farmers viii trim and prune their
fruit trees, as no work this wet time
will pay them better.

TENDER OF TROOPS
INTERESTS MILITIAMEN
CONWAY MILITARY COMPANY
WONDERING IF THEY WILL
SEE SERVICE.

A story in the morning paper to
the effect that General B. W. Green
of the Arkansas National Guard had
rendered the services of 1000 militia
men on the Mexican border was read
with much interest by the members of
the recently -organized Co. F of this
city today. The company has just
received its equipment and the rifles
were distributed to the men today.
AS soon as the armory is completed,
the uniforms and other equipment will
be given out.
The offer of General Green regard
ing the troops appears in the follow
ing story in today's Gazette:
Adjutant General B. w. Green, in
behalf of the Arkansas National
Guard, yesterday notified the war de-
partment that Arkansas is ready to
put 1000 men into the field in 48
hours notice, in case the National
Guard is need on the Mexican Dor
der or in Mexico
General Green sent the following
letter to the chief of the division of
affairs of the war depart
ment, at Washington:
IF the war department finds oc-
casion to order the National Guard to
the Mexican border or to be used in
Mexico, the governor will appreciate
it highly if Arkansas be permitted to
send her quota.
Il think | can safely promise 1000
men fully equipped, ready for service
within 48 hours notice, and this num-
Der to be increased from time to time
as the department might direct.
''If the Arkansas National Guard is
called for, l will be delighted to be as
signed to command them, and tender
my services in that capacity"

HISTORIC FIRST NIGHTS.
Red Letter Events In the Dramatic
History of France.

Red Letter Events In the Dramatic
History of France.
Perhaps the most striking events in
the artistic history of France have
been the first performances of some
Of the great French plays. In few
Eases also these occasions have mark
ed the beginning of new epochs in the
social history of the country, so close
ls the connection between the social
development of the people and it's ex-
preston on the stage. Unless am
mistaken. there have been but six un-
forgettable first nights since theaters
were established in Paris.
The first occurred in 1887, when Cor
neille's cid took the capital by storm.
Forty years later Racine's "Androm-
ache" created similar sensation.
On the eve of the revolution. in 1874,
Beaumarchais' Marriage of Figaro"
was received with such delirious en-
thusiasm that three people were sti-
eed in the rush for seats In 1880
Victor Hugo. in spite of the determin-
ed opposition of a large body of reac-
tionaries. set all Paris in an uproar
with his "Hernai."
These names should be borne In
mind: Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchafs
and Victor Hugo. Three of them at
least have no superiors in the history
of French literature. Each has one
amazing dramatic triumph to his cred
1t. The other two Of the six great
first nights were the 2Sth Of Decem-
Der. 1897. and the 7th of February,
1910 The occasions were respective
iy the performances of "Cyrano de
Bergerac" and "Chantecler." both by
Edmond Rostand. Cincinnati Com

WILSON'S ELECTRAL VOTE.


The World sees no possibility that
the election Of Presidnt will be
thrown into the House of Represen-
tatives.
1t will require 266 electral votes
to choose a President, and 17S must
be conceded to Gov. Wilson at the
outset. These l7S votes are repre-
sented by the States of Alabama, Ari-
iona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Louisiana. Maryland, Mississip-
pi, Missouri, North Carolina, Okla
homa, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia.
That makes it necessary for Gov.
Wilson to win So out of the remaining
353 electral votes. Twenty-nine Of
them can be found in New Jersey and
Indiana, which are sure to go Demo-
cratic. Fifty-two more can be found
in New York and Connecticut, which
are reasonably certain to go Demo-
cratic. Nebraska, with eight votes,
would give Gov Wilson the necessary
majority.
But Democratic prospects are much
brighter than this. MIR. Bryan carried
Colorado and Nevada in 1908. Gov.
Wilson is likely to carry them this
year, with the addition of North d.
kota. These three States have IA cleo
toral votes. Wilson's chances in Ohio
are better than Taft's or Roosevelt's,
and Ohio has "a votes. Senator Gard
ner predicts that Wilson will carry
Maine, with six votes, and nobody
familiar with political conditions in
that State can regard this as an idle
boast In addition, Democratic pros
poets in Massachusetts, are as good as
any other prospects, and they are
anything but discouraging in Pennsyl-
vania Massachusetts has Is electral
votes and Pennsylvania has 3S.
Any reasonable calculation based on
the existence of Republican party
would give Wilson more than 800
electoral votes, but with the Rephb-
lican party shot to pieces, it is ques-
ton whether the warning Taft-Roose-
welt forces will save anything of value
from the wreck.-N Y. World.

BATTLE OF MARATHON.
The Most Decisive Day In the History
of the World.


The single day in the worlds history
which was fraught with the most ire
mendous consequences to mankind was
the day on which the battle of Mara
thon was fought The handful of tiny
states that inhabited Greece had de
veloped faculties which indicated thai
man had advanced another stage ru
ward the highest ideals
Foremost among those little nations
was Athens. which state. too. contain
was the forerunner of the democraries
of the world But the very existence
of Athens and Greece was Threatened
by the huge barbaric empire of Persia
Darius had sent out his hordes of wal
riors to add the Grecian states to his
vast dominlons. Face to face his forces
met the Athenians on the plains OF
Marathon
Hitherto invincibe in the field. the
PerslanS looked upon the little army
opposed to them with contempt The
Greeks themselves hesitated TO haz.
ara Dattle with the ConquerorS oi
the world Their generals debated the
question. and the decision to fight the
Persians was caused by the eloquence
of the immortal Miltiades. He led his
10000 Greeks against the Persian host
and gained u decisive victory. The glo
rious day of Marathon beat back the
advancing tide of eastern despotism
and barbarism and saved the freedom
and civilization of the western world.

In an editorial in last weeks Out
look, in which reasons are given for
the need of a new party such as Mr.
Roosevelt is promulgating. the follow
ing is said of the Governor of New
Jersey, the Democratic Presidential
nominee:
No one pretends to find reason
for not voting for Mr.. Wilson in the
character or in the ideals of Mr..
Wilson himself 1t is plain that he
approaches public questions from
the point of view of the public in
terest What he said the other day
in a speech at Atlantic City is a
genuine expression of his spirit He
was speaking of an issue raised in
that place by lawlessness and cor
ruption, of the need of moral pride,
and of the willingness to fight evil
at all costs. There can be- said
Mr.. Wilson, $50 long as we are
honest men, no quarter with any
man who deals privately or publicly
in practice that is unrighteous !;
and a man who lays himself, his
life, down for that purpose, ought
to die more happy than he lived.

only little while, and if it goes
out lighted with the torch of glory
it is better than if it had lasted
upon a dull level a thousand years
That is the test of manhood
it is the test of humanity, and it is
the glory and sign of Christianity
that a man will lay down his life
for another, no matter what the
consequences may be to himself
either in this world or in the next.
These words, especially as they
come from a man just chosen to re,

of sIs party, present a view o.
public service that should aetuate
all men in public life. They are z

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
Why an outburst of the One Ma,
Cause Flow of the Other.


What is laughter and why do tears
SO often accompany it?
On each side of the throat is an ar
terry called the carotid. at the level of
the larynx this divides. one branch.
which carries blood to the brain. being
distributes blood to the face. being
called the external. These two branches
are joined about the level OF the eyes
by the ophthalmic artery, which forms
canal between them This commu-
nication is the cause of the close con-
glands. between laughter and grief.
both of which are generators of tears.
Physiologically. burst of laughter
is nothing but strenuous effort, like
lifting heavy weight. In both cases
the muscles of the throat and stomach
contract.
When laughter is excessive the
whole body is convulsed; every muscle
is contracted. In the place of normal
respiration come short intermittent
respirations. insufficient to free the
lungs from the semi-asphyxia pro
duced by the contraction of the throat
muscles The face shows the conges-
tion of the blood vessels of the head
Apoplexy may in rare cases result
These muscular contractions compress
the external carotid, which can no
longer supply the brain with blood
In consequence this rushes up the in
ternal carotid, which becomes choked
and dilated 1t can stand the pressure
only because the ophthalmic artery re
lieves it. Taking this route the blood
congests the tear glands. which over

Tears are exactly the same as the
liquid part of the blood. So it is a
fair deduction that the action of cry
ing is equivalent to certain loss of
blood. which relieves the congestion
of the brain This is why women feel
so much better after a good cry
The facial contortions of weeping
persons are caused by the automatic
contraction Of snch muscles as are
needed to compress the tear glands
and so help to squeeze out the tears
