TRUE LIVING.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

Why spend our lives pursuing phantoms That but eude our utmost grasp; When we might have the choicest pleasures, And closely to our bosoms clasp The treasures of the inner kingdom
 That neither fade nor pass away, But always in pure radiance streaming,
 Undimmed in luster day by day. With time thus spent in sweet communion, Possessing gems of wealth untold, Our lives flow on in perfect rhythm,
 And e'en the gates of heaven unfold.

Why Keep After Thaw2

"Why don't they let Thaw go9 Why do they keep after him9" are questions which are sometimes being asked.
 The reason that the state of New York is sparing neither effort nor expense to detain the degenerate IS that he is e murderer and a crazy man, and that the commonwealth does not purpose that his wealth shall succeed in doing what the man of small means could not hope to do. 1t is conceded that the gold of Thaw has given the state a great deal of trouble, but the authorities of the state do not desire to see it win over the law of the land. A man of less fortune than that of Thaw would have to remain in the asylum for the criminal insane. It IS perfectly proper that Thaw should get the same treatment. For him to get different treatment would add fire to socialism, anarchy, l, w. W. activities and unrest.
 It is simple justice that Thaw should pay the penalty of his crime. Utica, N r., Observer.

The Way Augusta Saw 1t.

The high school team met de-
feat last Friday afternoon by
close score of II to 6, by the
Newport Brush Hogs.
Our defeat was due largely to
the lack OF practice and team
work, also lack of support. Both
pitchers were hit at will, six hits
being made off each one.
Sailing, the so-called twirler,
threw his glass wing away in
warming up before the game and
was stationed to stop the few
balls that failed to connect with
the Augusta bats.
Pewee controlled his throws
to second by the way his nose
directed, and as his nose was
crooked his peg went wild of Sc
cond, causing several scores to
be made. He let his mind wan
der once from the game to Net
tie and instead of throwing to
second he broke a window in the
school house. Took all his small
change to pay for it.
The only player worthy of
credit was Hirsch who played

NO MORE FALLING HAIR
NO MORE DANDRUFF

Nearly every one has dand-
ruff, and must reconcile them
selves to the idea of becoming
completely bald or resort to the
use of Newbro's Herpicide.
The manufacturers have abso-
lutte faith in Herpicide to remove
all traces Of dandruff. So per-
feet is this belief that all dealers
are instructed to sell the prepar-
alton with a money back"
agreement.
Such supreme confidence is the
best evidence in the world of the
merit of Herpicide. They know
the result, hence the guarantee.
1t protects the purchaser.
Used as directed, Newbro's
Herpicide eradicates dandruff
and prevents the hair from
coming out. It stops itching of
the scalp, which is so disagree
able.
Newbro's Herpicide in soc and
S1.OO sizes is guaranteed to
do all that is claimed. If you are
not satisfied your money will be
refunded.
Applications may be obtained

those prospective citizens. "Who 10

Proposed POinsett County High
way.

The progress of Arkansas is
shown in a sure and convincing
way by the road building pro-
jects in this state.
County Judge Ben Cole and a
party of Poinsett county citl-
zens have just been in Little
Rock to obtain from the State
Highway Department petitions
for the organization of an i'm
provement district to build 20
mile highway across Poinsett
county, from Hydrick on the
Cross county line by way of
Harrisburg to the Craighead
county line.
And in time this Poinsett coun-
ty road will be part of a high
way from St. Louis to Memphis
and Little Rock.-Little Rock
Gazette.
The proposed highway of our
neighbor county to the East is
to be built with the intention of
making it a gap in the great
Southwestern highway that
will eventually be built from ST.
Louis to little Rock, Hot
Springs and the big cities OF
Texas Newport and Jackson
county stand only one chance of
being part of this system of
roadway, which will surely be
constructed within the next ten
years.
That chance lies in our build
ing a bridge over White river
here and drawing the road this
way, for it is hardly probable
that any Of the cities lower or
White river will attempt to
bridge this stream, at least not
in the near future.
That Crowley's Ridge furnish
es better natural road is gener-
ally conceded, but the same
White river bottom and crossing
must be made lower down, hence
if Newport and Jackson county
will build road to the eastern
county line, with which Poinsett
county may connect and then
bridge White river here, Oil
Trough Bottom and Independ-
ence county will look after the
construction of a real roadway
to the White county line, where
we are assured the remainder
will be done to build a good high
way to Pulaski county and Lit

Sometimes II Is necessary to build
longy narrow house in order to
make II fit the lot. You cannot hang
part OF your house over your neigh
bor's lot without making bad feel
ings. because neighbors are very apt
to be touchy on this point. Anyway, l
should rather build 20-foot house
on 35-foot lot, and have plenty OF
light and air with room on one side
OF the house for good cement walk
running back to the kitchen, and
have room on the other side for
good lawn with border of flowers
and shrubbery.
The tendency with great many
men Is to save money by buying a
narrow lot. Property Is sold in most
places according to the frontage, and
Is reckoned at SO much per front
foot; so the width OF the lot has a
good deal to do with the price you
have to pay. A few square feet more
or less in the back. where you may
raise chickens or vegetables II your
taste inclines that way, cuts very lit
tie figure. The fellow who has the
lot for sale just good-naturedly makes
you present of all that back-lying
territory, but he charges a good
round price for the street frontage
Because OF this custom in selling
property, It is the fashion in some
places to crowd house 80 feet wide
upon 33-foot lot. The style Of
