LlyInu In pojae.

To improve yourself, the lrst essen
tial is to prevent all waste of energy
by living in poise. The second essen-
tial is to use your imagination in pic
turing those things that you want to
accomplish now. And the most praol
tical use that can be made Of the Inn
aglnation is TO picture you talents and
faculties larger, greater and more
perfect. To imagine in mind a larger
and moro perfect talent Is to give the
creative forces In mind a better mod
eli and as these forces always create
after the fashion Of the latest model,
they will consequently create the lar
ger and the more perfect talent-LaR

Wordsworth on Real Eatata.

There Is an interesting story Of
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, In
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A.. G. Benson in the Cen
fury Magazine. There was q gathering
Of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for a long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau, 1 congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and It will turn
out to be the &isest thing you ever did
In your life" "'f
He paused for a moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with a. Hne
gesture, continued:
Your property will certainly be
trebled in value within the next ten
years!"

A Cornell professor advises needv
students not to attempt to work their
way through college, but to borrow the
none for the purpose. If they en-
deavor to support themselves while
studying, he says, they both run the
risk Of breaking down and lose the
social advantages of going to col

from h old order Of things under
which poor students, though some

nave the opportunity. But it is ap-

Do You WhistIe2

There are few more unlovely char
acters than the man that whistles"
was the frank confession of a Harlem
~graybeard. "Yet l can't help feeling
sorry for him.
mot more than one man in a hun
dred that whistles on the street or in
other public places can carry an air
or has any idea of music; therefore
his efforts are nerve-racking. Most
whistlers never fail to whistle when
on their way home late at night, there
by numbering sleep. Most milkmen
wake people at an unreasonable hour
In the morning by whistling.
"Whistling Is chiefly inspired by
contentment or high spirits-and it's
pleasing to know that go many are
conditioned thus happily. But every
man that whistles makes every other
person within hearing distance un-
happy while he Is at It. Which In q
great pity and hardship."-New York

ORDER NOT TO BE
R|C|DLY ENFORCED
HEALTH ORDER MODIFIED
WILL NOT BE STRICTLY RE-
QUIRED THIS YEAR.

The order making it compulsory for
pupils, teachers and employees of all
schools in Arkansas to be vaccinated
will not be rigidly enforced this year,
according to a circular issued Satur-
day by DR.. Morgan Smith, secretary
of the State Board of Health, who
states that on account of the limited
time between the issuance of the order
and the time for the opening of the
schools it had been decided not to re-
quire a strict observance of the vac
cination order until next year.
Although the vaccination order was
the subject of much comment here,
there was little protest against it, and
DR.. George S. Brown, health officer
for Faulkner county, states that the
people were cheerfully complying with
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-09-01

the order and showing little or no op-
position to it. He estimates that be-
tween 800 and 400 children have been
vaccinated during the past week or 10
days.
The order, however, occasioned some
apprehension by the presidents of
Hendrix and Central colleges and the
State Normal, who found that a num-
Der Of their prospective students were
under the impression that the require
ment was purely local one. 1t is
stated that quite large number of in
quiries We're received about the mat

tions, some going SO far as to de-
clare that they had decided not to en-

and thousands of citizens in various
parts of the state will work the roads
on the days mentioned Governor
Hays will lead the Pulaski county
working squad.
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-09-01

to remove this impression, DR.. j. H.
Reynolds, president of Hendrix Col
lege, wrote to DIR. Smith and received
an answer which was given to the
press Of the state Sunday. DR.. Smith
stated that the order was a general
one, and "applies to the whole state of
Arkansas. The board has not made
any special regulations and will not
make any, and it will be observed that
this rule applies to schools, and by
that is meant universities, colleges and
other institutions of learning. A GER

complies with the requirements of the
board. The scar may be so years old
or one month, so far as the rule is

The SIashed Skirt.


The day was fine. the skies were blue;
| saw her in Fifth avenue,
A picture in the dress review,
With something silken flashing
through
The slash in her skirt.
Her manner and her clothes were
glad,
She looked quite like a fashion ad.,
And though she wore the hobble fad
I'm sure she didn't know she had
The slash in her skirt.
All she was fair as fair could be,
And tripped along unconsciously
Without the slightest thought for me
Or anybody who might see
The slash in her skirt.
Perhaps because she was so fair
1t made some other women there
Turn half around to rudely stare
And whisper My, how can she wear
The slash in her skirt"
How different were the men. To
them
Her radiant rags, from hat to hem,
We're roses on a lovely stem,
And never did a man condemn
The slash in her skirt.
She tripped along unconsciously,
Her artless femininity
So far from any c~oafseness free,
1t really was a joy to see
The slash in her skirt.
So guileless was the tripping
through
The crowds along Fifth avenue,
| felt, somehow, il was her due
For me to call her notice to
The slash in her skirt
But / didn't.
