STORY NJ. TWO.

S1Oh1 NO. TWO.
 A certain cantankerous Old Millionaire was disliked beyond words by all of his family who only acknowledged the rela- tionship, because they wanted.to figure in his will.
 He announced one day that he had given up his handsome apartments and meant to live about with his various relatives.
 The news spread like German Measles.
 When he inquired around among his neces and nephews and their families he found that the last one of them had broken up housekeeping.
 "The servant question" they explained was too much" which seemed queer to him that they should agree upon as a unit since they'd never been known to agree about ANYTHING before.
 One only, the least prosperous of them all a niece who lived in an unfash- ionable part of the city, said that he might come and stay at her house-in fact, she'd be dee-lighted, and so he re- moved bag and baggage to her humble abode, saying that he'd always wanted to spend his declining years with some of his OWN people.
 Her husband was not keen about the matter, but acduiesced finally seeing that the Old Millionaire couldn't last MUCH longer, and so they tried to do every thing to make him comfortable in their humble way.
 They gave him the best room in the house.
 lie forbade the children to play.
 He hated noise.
 He had 57 varieties of medicines on the buffet in the dining room, which he DARED anybody to move
 In fact, he upset the entire menage, and ruled everybody with a rod of iron.
 He wouldn't allow callers in the even- ing. They were too noisy; and he wouldn't let his niece and her husband go out, because he was too lonely. He com plained about the cooking and raised Marry War generally.
 Another niece married about this time and wrote to him for some money.
 He sent 1t to her.
 She told him she wanted to build right away and have him come and live with her. . It tickled the Old Millionaire nearly to death.
 Every day or so after the marriage he would send for the niece and ask her when she was going to begin her house on the money he had sent her, and every day she would make some excuse.
 If I only had the house all built and you safely tucked away with us,' she'd say SW6tlly anu StIoht tue oiu OlQ lll- lionaire's white hair.
 One day that Uncle laid down and DIEDi
 After the elaborate and imposing funer- al the WILL question came up.
 All the anxious relatives were assembled and there was weeping and gnashing oi teeth over the poor old gentleman's sud- den demise.
 Presently they heard the contents of the documents. and what do you suppose happened?
 The Old Millionaire didn't leave a penny to any single one of his relatives-not even the poor niece in the unfashionable part of town with the six children and the husband who wasn't keen about her sheltering the Old Millionaire, but he left every cent of his vast fortune to the niece who would have had him live with her permanently, IF she could have decided WHERE to build home

 Somehow the scientific fact that the feminine heart has just GOT to have something to love, may to a degree ex- explain the engagement of a certain Old Man and a blooming Young Creature whom I heard of the other day.
 Wasn't it our friend, MT. George Ade, who made the sweeping assertion contain ing much truth, to the effect that
 Anybody can win, when there's only ONE entry?"
 Dear, you think you love me- the Old Man said but being only twenty you have had little chance to see many men and as yet you've had no young lovers. Suppose you go to the springs and spend a month and when you come back if you still entertain the same fondeness for me, we will get married at once.'

LAND IS GIVEN MAN AS
 EVERLASTING POSSESSION
flosiac Law Has Nothing to do With Mans Title to Land
 at Present Time

Editor The Journal. T was rath- CT amused to read MT. Greenhaw $ letter in a recent issue of The Journal, in which he seems to think that land cannot be legally sold for more than fifty years and then reverts back to the original owner.
 The law of Moses has not been in force for more than 1900 years. The handwriting was taken out of the way, being nailed to the cross when Christ was crucified. It was the Jews schoolmaster to bring them to Christ, but we Gentiles were never under the law of Mo- ses, for The that seeks to be justi- fled by the law is fallen from grace" and if MT. Greenhaw is a Jew he must keep the Feast of the Passover once each year, and then he must work six years and gath CT enough the sixth year to do him three years, and he must rest the seventh year-must not SOW nor reap, nor trim his vineyard, nor eat anything that grows on the seventh year, as the chapter teach es which he refers to.
 Do you observe this law, MT. Greenhaw? If not, why not? If you intend to bind the Mosiac law upon we Gentiles nearly 2,000 years after 1t was taken away from the Jews, why do you not observe 1t yourself?
 Now 1 call to your mind the 10th verse of the 18th chapter of Psalms, which says: "The Heavens, even the Heavens, are the Lords; but the earth hath he given to the children of men,"
 I refer you to Gen. 50:13, Deut. Is, and Gen. IFS which says: And l will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art stranger, all the land of Canaan for an ever lasting possession, and 1 will be thy God"
 could refer you to many more proofs but this is enough to make some one think, and may probably do some good. SUBSCRIBER.

MANY QUESTIONS FOR
 VOTERS TO PASS UPON
People Have Large Task Before Them at General Election
 Sept ember 9th

Should the free and untrammel- ed voters of Arkansas be required to read the full text of the laws submitted to them for adoption at the general election on september 9, 1t would take 30 days to hold the election under the initiative and referendum. Fortunately, however, the various proposed amendments to the constitution and laws will appear on the ballot under brief heading, the printed laws themselves having appeared in the newspapers of each county.
 The measure which has been most discussed, and which proved to be factor in the race for nom- ination as governoe, is the Turner Jacobson bill, or the bill to revise taxation system in the state and reduce the rate, according to its framers. Having been passed at the extraordinary session of the General Assembly without the emergency clause attached, this bill was subject to the referendum and was brought before the peo- pie, by petition, for adoption or rejection. The entire system of taxation is revised and recodifed in the Turner-Jacobson bill in 128 sections.
