80 Senator'S, consider for a momeBt"
what it is that we are doing. We all love
our country; we are all proud of its his,
tory; we are all full of hope and courage
for it's future; we love its good name; we
desire for it that power among the nations
of the earth which will enable it to &c
complish still greater things for civiliza
ton than it has accomplished in it's noble
past. Shall we make ourselves in the
minds of the world like unto the man
who in his own community is marked as
astute and cunning to get out of his obi
cations? Shall we make ourselves. like
unto the man who is known to be false to
his agreements; false to his pledged word?
Shall we have it understood that "you
must look out for the United States or she
will get the advantage of you;" that we
are clever and cunning to get the better
of the other party to an agreement?
claims to honor and respect that our
fathers have established for our great
country the claim that we shall be consid-
cred slippery? 1t is worth while, Mr..
President, to be citizen of great coun-
try, but size alone is not enough to make
a country great. A country must be
great in its ideals; it must be great heart
ed: it must be noble; it must despse aud
reject all smallness and meanness; it
must be faithful to its word; it must
keep the faith of treaties; it must be
faithful to it mission of civilization in or
der that it shall be truly great.-From
the speech in the Senate on January 81
by Elihu Root, Senator from New York
and ex-Secretary of State.

GIRLS SHOW HOW
 TO MAKE MONEY
Miss Brandon, Who Cleared SI11 From One-Tenth Acre, Has Rival All Under Guidance of
 Agricultural Department.

Beebe, May Miss Gela Hope Brandon, the charming l6-year-old White county miss who astonished the state bankers association by the results shown in her report of her tenth of an acre truck garden at Searcy, must look to her laurels, else another White county girl may take the blue ribbon this year.
 Miss Brandon made a net profit of sill on her little plot of ground, her gross receipts from the lot be- ing SIC. Now comes little Miss Fay Parker of Beebe, with the an nouncement that she has already sold about $40 worth of radishes from her tenth-acre lot and has just gotten well down to work for the summer. She expects to rotate with other crops, such as beans, tomatoes, with late summer crop of potatoes and a winter crop of turnips on the same ground, from all of which she expects a hand some harvest.
 Miss Parker like Miss Brandon, is cultivating her ground under the methods advocated by the U. s. ag- ricultural department, and is dem onstrating that one acre properly cultivated will yield more than the average farm of 10 acres. She is just fl years old, too.

CONFIRMED PROOF.
Residents of Mena Cannot Doubt
 What Has Been Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs from distressing kidney ills thousands have publicly recom- mended Deans Kidney Pills. Resi- dents of this vicinity who so testi- fled years ago, now say the results were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Mena kidney suf- ferers.
 Mrs. s. E. Wiggins, Rose Hill, De Queen, Ark, says: q gave a state ment some years ago 10 the effect that Doan's Kidney Pills had been used by one of my relatives and had been very successful in cur ing a severe and long standing case of kidney complaint. Today I gladly confirm my former word of praise for this remedy, for I know that the benefit it brought has been permanent. have been thoroughly convinced of the su- perior curing powers of Doan's Kidney Pills, for almost daily in- stances are brought to my attention where they have done good work.

THREW BABE TO WOLVES.
Desperate EXpedient of Russian
 Peasant Failed. but Babe Lived.

St. Petersburg, May IA terrible story of fathers desperate act in throwing his child to the wolves is related here.
 A peasant named Grusneijoff, ac- cOmpanied by his wife and four year-old child, it is stated, was travelling by sleigh to Volchuni. To- wards dusk, when only few miles from the town, he suddenly came on a pack of wolves.
 GrusneUoffs wife, in her terror suggested that he should appease the famished beasts by flinging them the child. This, however, the man at first refused to do, eontinu- ing to belabor his horses.
 At length, however, seeing that the wolves were gaining on the sleigh, he flung the child into the road His sacrifice was in vain, for the wolves, disregarding the liv- ing bundle, flew to the attack with renewed fury, and at length dragged the peasant from the sleigh.
 When the horses arrived in the town the woman was found lying unconscious in the sleigh.
 The child, which had not suffered the slightest injury, was found lying peacefully sleeping in the road.

ECZEMA.

Don't close the pores of the skin and drive it in. Persons afflicted with eczema, scrofula, psoriasis, ulcers, pimples, etc, frequently have recourse to strong astringent external remedies to dry up and close the pores of the skin in order to get temporary relief, forgetting in their anxiety that by so doing they are forcing the poisonous germs back into the blood to reas- sert itself a month later, in the old disease area, or on some other part of the body in a more malignant form. How much better to help the blood throw off the impurities which cause these diseases and get permanent relief. Blood is the most important constituent of the human body, and when impure is the un- deriving cause of most of our ail- ments. Take Bloodine to purify the blood and apply Bloodine Oint- ment to the skin and you will cure the cause of this most dreaded dis ease. Guaranteed to cure by your druggist.
