LOVERS CORNER
Conducted by
Uncle Donald
"All the world loves a lover"

I am in receipt of letter from
close friend. After a few preliminary
paragraphs he comes down to the sub
ject nearest his heart. "Don," he
writes, II don't know what to do,
YOU know Lela-well, 1 have been
paying her court for awhile, and the
longer ], continue the program the
more I am impressed with her excel
lent character, and with the truth of
what you have sometimes said of her
accomplishments and talent. Just one
thing about her that is very disagree
able, and that is why she insists on
saying sarcastic, cutting things when
ever she gets chance, and it hurts.
I could stand that once in while,
but a continuous performance gets my
goat. l know that she cares for me,
and I care enough for her to ask her
to marry me if it were not for this
habit of hers, but I never could be
happy with better half whose ability
for sarcasm was so highly developed.
You are an old friend of her family and
have known her from childhood, and
wish you would tell me what I ought
to do about it, and how I am to do it.
Being intimately acquainted with
both parties to this little affair, I wrote
to my friend and gave him considera-
BILE advice, which I shall not repeat
here. The only reason that l have
reproduced the above extract from his
letter is that / thought it might be
worth while to preach a little sermon
on that subject for the benefit Of my
Echo nieces. Girls, there are num-
Der of characteristics which crate on
the nerves of man, but the one COM
planned Of by my friend will have about
as chilling an effect upon his admira-
ton and affection as any means that
could be devised. The average man
likes a girl who has some force OF
character, and prefers the maid with a
reasonable supply of temper and
strength OF will to a weak, spineless,
purposeless butterfly. But he objects
to being tied to human fury, or to a
woman whose dominant, unbending
will bids fair to ovenule his every
wish in domestic affairs and destroy
all tranquility. He enjoys, too, lit
tie spice in the scheme OF things, but
but too much Of it is, also, different
matter.
The above mentioned average man
likes girl Of reasonable amount OF
spirit, but he SHES at the prospect of
attempted welded bliss with cross
between a pepper box and an iceberg.
However much a man may love girl,
however much he may admire her tall
ents or accomplishments or character,
or all OF these, he will hesitate long
before he will risk a proposal of mar
rage to her if she has faculty Of
saying something good and hard at
him at least once during the course Of
every call he makes. A very old ex-
preston has been converted into a
popular catchword, and it fits well
here: Have a heart" Just be-
cause a man is in love with girl, it

HOUSE OPPOSED
TO 7 nc RATE
MEASURE UP YESTERDAY
THE HOUSE ALSO RATIFIES
AMENDMENT TO FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION.

Little Rock, Feb. l2.-The house
has gone on record as opposed to in
te1ferlng with the present railroad
rates in Arkansas. The issue was
fought out on the Newton bill, fixing
passenger rates on railroads in Ar
kansas over 100 miles in length at
three cents.
Representatives Armstrong, Patter-
son, Sawyer and Sain led the fight
agains the bill, while Messrs. Newton
and lobe were its champions. One of
the principal reasons advanced
against the bill is that there is now
pending in the supreme court of the
United States a controversy over the
twocent rate provided by the Ross
bill, passed in 1907, and a decision is
expected on that in the near future.
They argue that only greater confus-
ion would follow the passage of 2
1-2 cent rate bill, when the court may
give the state two-cent rate
1t was also argued that the state
needs railroads, and should not throw
unreasonable obstacles in their way
and pass acts that will be confiscatory
in their nature, and burden them with
demands that freight rates must be
Increased to meet the deficit, and re-
duce the wages Of employees.
Upon the call, the bill was defeat
ed, ayes SO, noes AZ. There is still
pending in the house the senate bill
by WATSON, fixing passenger rates at
Y IL cents mile, but if the vote on
the Newton bill may be taken as an
indication of the sentiment of the
house, it will meet a similar fate.
There is, of course, always the doubt
THAT attaches to the manner the "a
absentees would vote should they be
present when the WATSON bill is call
ed up.
The senate health department bill
was read twice in the house and re
ferred to the committee on public
health, with the amendment by Mr..
Craven, providing that at shall be
unlawful for more than three physi-
clans of any one school of medicine to
be members of or serve upon said
board at any one time; and provided,
further, that there shall at all times
be at least two members of said board
who are not physicians, but who shall
be discreet men of affairs of at least
seven years as citizens and taxpayers

AT THE ARKWAY.

The Arkway is having some excep-
tionally high class amusement for the
first three nights of this week and,
although the weather has been very
severely disagreeable, good crowds
were present both Monday and last
night. Prof. Hurd, a comedy-magi-
clan, is the attraction, and his work
eclipses anything of the kind ever
seen in the city. Not only are the
tricks performed by this master of
art beyond comprehension, but they
are amusing, and the audience is kept
in a continuous laughter throughout
the performance Prof. Hurd's wife
is travelling with him, and dressed in
a magnificent costume assists him in
his work upon the stage. For many
years Prof. Hurd was on the Or
pheum circuit and played nothing but
the large city vaudeville houses, but
owing to a spell of fever contracted
while. touring the foreign countries,
has prohibited him from making long
contracts, hence his appearance in
the smaller towns. 1t was at the Or
pheum theater in San Francisco
seven years ago that the writer had
the pleasure of meeting Prof Hurd.
There will be an entire change of
program tonight, with the exception
of the famous chest mystery, and
those who enjoy this class Of amuse-
ment will make no mistake in attend
ing the show.

WANT THE PLAN SUBMITTED
Recently Instituted System Of Han.
ding University Selection of
DelntOrS Il Not Popular.

The mass meeting held i'm Wood
worth hall at tho university last even.
ing for the purpose of discussing the
new method of selecting university
orators was very poorly attended. The
new system was recently adopted by
the oratorical board of control. bu,
some Of the students maintained tina,
the board went beyond it's power in
accepting tho plan without. the con.
sent of the student body. The meet
ing was called last night by the Ad
Altiora and Hespcria literary socie.
Tics. because the officers of the board
refused tn do so. -.
John Adams Taylor of the univcr.
sity. English department was presen,
and he explained tho plan in full and
claimed that 1t is superior to the old
system. j. i. T. O'Connor also SPOKE
briefly and he declared that the re.
Gently adopted plan would kill the
literary societies.
After a. lengthy discussion of tho
proposition a motion was. made and
carried to the effect that the orator..
cal board be requested to submit the
plan for the approval of the SUDDEN,
body at. the annual election Saturday
afternoon. The officers of the asso.
citation claim that they will ignore the
matter entirely as there was not {:
sufficient number at the meeting LAS
evening to show that the majority OF
students are against the system,
