WHEELS OF PROGRESS.

Lust as an example of some of the big things ahead for Hot Springs which will serve as guarantee that there will be so dull summer here are shown the following contract build ings:
 Jones school, $750O0.
 Citizens National Bank, s75,00O.
 B'Nai Brith Sanitarium, s100,00O.
 Superior Bath House, $50000.
 There in four items is $500. .00O worth of improvements that must be made at once The school building must be ready November 1. The bank building must be ready about the same date. The other two contracts are not let, but ready, and will call for immediate construction.
 There are a whole lot more improve. ments which have passed the "antici. patsdp stage, but which will not be touched this year. One is the big Masonic Sanitarium on Prospect Ave. Another is a half million dollar hotel which is in the embryonic stage just now. Another is a resort improve. ment that will call for an expenditure of s2O0, ,000.
 The government has set aside s10.00o for the survey of the new sewerage and drainage system it will build here, which probably will in. olude a creek arch extension to the river, and a driveway thereon, all to cost probably s5O0,O0O
 Taken as whole there is more business ahead for Hot Springs now than has been for $ iong time. We VIII have no dull summers, for win the prospect ahead there are innumer. able small building Improvements which never get recognition in the building news, but all of which help tp keep labor at labor and keep the wheels of progress moving.
 Does any other city in the country, far or near, offer such future? With our advertising work under way our seasons business increases each year. The increases for the 1913 season will not alone be an increase in numbers, but we hope to be able to keep the visitors here longer.

OUR NEED OF A FINER COUR-
TESY.

We need a new beatitude, which
shall read something like this:
Blessed are those who, having ears,
hear not, and having eyes, see not.
Such sentiment, printed In display
type and hung within plain view,
would add to the peace and harmony
of many home. We see too much,
hear too much. We need in our
homes more Of that fine courtesy
which, when we are among strangers,
makes us blind and deaf to those
things which we should not see and
hear. The very fact of our family in
timacy and love ought to work for
make us more observant, even watch
full and critical, than we are with
strangers.
Half of the troubles that mar the
serenity of home are caused by trifles
that a generous mind could overlook.
If we could but school ourselves to
be blind and deaf to a great deal,
life would be much easier and
smoother.
Mothers especially, with the con-
slant need for correction and reproof,
that Johnny's manners and Jennie's
habits may be reasonably good, cas-
lily form a habit that is only one re-
move from nagging. And it is only
too easy to slip from the one into the
other. A woman's life is made up of
details; Johnny must wash his neck
and Jennie must brush her teeth, and
however much we may weary of the
daily routine, we must stay with it.
But the very fact that our life is so
filled with apparently trivial tasks
makes it the more necessary that we
cultivate breadth of vision, and that
these tasks, which must not be for
gotten, shall be kept in their right re-
lation to the other interests of life.
1t is the trifles, the little irrita-
tons, that spoil home life. Many of
them are here today and gone to-
morrow. Why notice them? Why
not cultivate a courtesy, a generous
spirit, that is blind to these little an
noyances?
Children are extremely sensitive to
a critical atmosphere, and no child,
especially one Of nervous tempera-
ment, can be natural and at ease in
home where every act and word are
constantly being criticised. A judic-
ious blindness toward their faults
and sympathetic appreciation of
any effort, however small, that may
be worthy, will go a long way toward
making home happy for our children.
That quality of life which the old
lady expressed by the word '1ivable-
