not, gentlemen, show the white feath-

cow-driver? Who would not, on such

HOPE AND KINDNESS.
(BY Mrs. L. NJ. PATTON.)

(BY MRS. L. M. PATTON.)
We as homekeepers should do
all in our power to make our
homes what they should be.
They may be humble, unpyeten-
tious ores; exhibiting no signs
of material wealth: but there
should be the wealth of mutual
affection and sympathy emanat-
ing from loving christian hearts.
Those should be so strong and
lasting that no fire can consume,
no disaster aleniate or destroy.
them. the home of the heart, the
home of childhood, the elysium
of ripper years, the refuge o. old
age. What sweet sacred place
home should be to all of us.
Most of us live very busy lives
but we should take time to read
and inform our minds. We owe
it to ourselves, to our families
and those with whom we associ-
ate. The reading Of pure, good
literature broadens our views
and gives US food for thought as
we go about performing our va.
rious duties, and we all should
have some flowers, emblems of
purity and love. They not only
brighten and cheer US many
times but we may often remem-
Der the rich or poor with these
tokens of love. Thus making
glad many sad, lonely ones. We
may feel depressed and discour-
aged.
Think there is so little we can
do to make the world brighter
and better-but we can all find
little acts Of kindness and love,
we can bestow upon those who
are hungering much more for
these than for bread. Truly
riches takes wings and flys, COM
forts vanish, hopes wither away,
but love stays with US always.
Love is God, and God is love.
So let us give freely of the sun
shine 0 f love and kindness, thus
our pathway through
life, happier and sweeter. There
is scarcely a person who does
not carry a burden more or less
heavy, hope in the heart makes
the burden seem lighter and
some how or other we get to the
end. May we lose sight Of self
and do all we can for others;
thus making our lives worth liv-
ing here. May we alvars be
found doing our duty as best we
can, and when life is over may
we reach the haven of rest pre-
pared for all the good and faith.

\ Travelling Alligator.

Catching alligator on the rails of a
street railway system at midnight mile
and a half from any water is an incident
the like of which probably will not recur
in a hundred years, but that is the per-
formance of Conductor d. T. Poole and
Motorman n. l.. Thedford, who run on
the Pulaski Heights line of the Little
Rock Railway and Electric company. The
alligator, of the ordinary variety, was
captured near the intersection of Prospect
and Rose streets, the lineup to
Pulaski Heights was making the last
trip. Motorman Thedford discovered the
little reptile, which is only feet long.
Stopping the car, he and Conductor Poole
soon had the saurian safely deposited be-
meath the front seat of the large summer
car and he was taken to the car house,
and then to Poole's home. 800 Water street.
Mr.. Poole said that the gator must
have travelled from the Arkansas River,

PATRIOTISM.

Real patriotism is not a Willingness
to die for your country, but willingness
to give your time, money and thought
for your country, writes DR.. Frank
Crane in Woman's World for Septem-
Der.
If you would take the time you en-
ploy in drilling in the armory, wearing
gold braid and a sword. and employ it
in interesting yourself in political con-
ditions in your ward, you would be
more of a patriot.
Patriotism is not a military thing, to
be exercised upon supreme occasions
of war, but it is an everyday thing to
be shown by improving the conditions
of life in your community.
1t is not for parade. 1t is for use.
1t is not a luxury. 1t is a necessity.
You cannot be a genuine patriot I'M
til you are converted. Instead of a
merely individual conscience you must
learn to feel that your city's affairs are
my business and not the political
bosses business. You must develop
the Human Nerve. You must feel what
Humanity means.
For patriotism is a religion; it means
high form of continuous devotion.
You cannot be a patriot and not be
interested in politics. Politics is the ex-
preston of Patriotism. If it is degrad-
ed, you are degraded and your city and

Lind had not been long in congress

they were in all sorts of curious shapes.
