THE OUTLOOK OF THE GRADUATE.

The spirit of school or college graduating class is one of rosy optimism. The obstacles of school life have been conquered. This gives courage and hope for the future. In -spired by the hopefulness of young people, in the bright lexicon of youth there's no such word as fail.
 The graduates remark that they expect to meet difficulty and sorrow but it seems never to occur to them that they won't surmount all such obstacles. It is an inspiring spirit The observer who does not feel his enthusiasm stirred by it must him self be growing old.
 The reason why so many of these bright hopes are disappointed is mostly that people quit after one ol two defeats. They conclude tha success is impossible and settle in to sullen acquiescence.
 But success is not due so much tt genius as to grim persistence. Int people who learn from their failures and keep trying rarely fail to reacl goal that is we'll worth while.

LOOSENESS OF THE TONGUE.
Monroe News-Star)

And thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue"
 Thousands of years ago this is what
 three Jobs Comforters," come to con-
 dole with him for seven days and sev- en nights, said unto Job. This man
 placed this scOurge of the tongue" in the same list with famine and "the power of the world" That was many years ago, but the scOurge of the tongue still, prevails. It is not peculiar
 to any race of people, to any period of time, to any cline or condition, and
 no one is immune.
 Eliphaz, the Temanite, placed this
 scourge third in his list of calamities.
 First there came famine and then war and then "the scourge of the tongue But. like all scourges that have been checked, this pestilenCa has grown un- til if Eliphaz were living today he would probably place it first. For famine is brought about through con- ditions that are more or less under the control of man. When the drought comes, or the flood or the freeze, near ly always there is some prescience' Of it's coming, some chance for prepara- tion, some opportunity for antipating the result. Or else, when the "lean days" are at hand there are ready neighbors, kindly friends or gener- ous government to come forward for the relief of suffering.
 The power of the sword can be com batted by the power of the sword. But who may be hid from "the scourge of the tongue?" Like the thief in the night, it preys upon the innocent. Like the pestilence that is born of impurity and the securing sof the earth, it reeks to heaven and no one is immune Science has learned to combat dis ease, It has said ito famine and to pestilence: "I am your master" and it has proved it's proud boast. Modern warfare is not yet, except in exterior ways, very different from ancient warfare But on the battlefield one faces danger in fair fight.
 But the "scourge of the tongue" can not be met in open fight because it is never an open enemy. It is born in the dark and is the offspring of evil minds. Like death, "It loves shining mark" It's instinct--for this scourge
 has always animal life-is to pull
 down that which is high, to degrade that which is pure, to debase that which is innocent.
 This is one of the curses that science cannot combat and which civil ization has failed to cure. For the scourge of the tongue" continues, Ill spite of our boasted Christianity, and those who are low still shoot their venom tipped arrows at those who are high, and direct their evil shafts at the pure and the innocent.

A SIMPLE DIVORCE LAW.
(Albuuueraue Herald).


 Those who are trying to find rem edy for the growing divorce evil in this country might study the operation of the divorce laws of Norway with some profit. In proportion to popula- tion that country has only about one sixth the number of divorces as the other nations, notwithstanding the fact that divorce actions there are simple, easy and cheap. If both husband and wife wish to be divorced the law grants it without inquiring into their reasons. As assurance, however. that the step is not taken rashly, the law requires that a year of separation shall intervene between the applica- tion and the decree, which affords an abundance of time for both parties to the marriage compact asks divorce, two years of separation must precede the decree. The services of lawyer are not required in any particular. All the expense attached is but nominal Ample precautions are taken to pro tect the right of children and conserve their welfare.

 do not know what it is to have fresh
 vegetables every month in the year
 as we have in this part of the coun'
 try, so they grow enthusiastic about phenomena that are matters of every. day occurrence to us. Here is the
 way a Kansas man describes in the Kansas City Jornal his first mess of greens in the spring: The time for a mess O greens is a hand. It is an ancient dish. The lsraelites lived on herbs, on Occas- ion, which we take to mean they had a mess of billed greens for dinner. ENebuchadnezzar preferred to get down on his hands and knees and take his greens raw. Which only il- lustrates that every man has his taste. as the Irishman remarked when he kissed the COW.
 The Missus raises spinach for greens. But no cooking of spinach can take the place of the handpicked greens from divers pfaces. A mess of greens-real greens--has it in many things of the grass kind. Mustard and sourdock and dande1ion and a sprinkle of plantian leaves are cer- tain1y required for the real, wild flavor. You may put in few beet and radish and. turnip leaves if you wish; but fail not on the first four 
 And wher the leaves have been looked over and washed and rewash- ed at the old pump; when finally they are clean of worms and snails and slugs and insect eggs, and are in the old iron dinner pot a-bilin' with d few slices of SOW belly-a slice for each person, and an odor comes forth so tantalizingly appetiz- ing that you can hardly wait to get your feet under the table and have the blessia' over with. so you can say, pass the vinegar, please then it is you have a sight of content as the breeze brings the odor- from the lilac bush right in through the open window. and feeling remark: Spring has come at last!"

 ROSPERITY
COMPETITION FOR LITERARY

An idea. of, the intense rivalry pre- vaillng in the field of literature is given in the competition for the $1O,- coo prize offered by Winthrop Ames Of Boston. for the best American pl5y. Although any one must have realized that the capture of this prize was the merest gamblers chance, the judges had to consider 2646 nnanu.. scripts. 's, e's RY E. The many people who are constant antly trying to break into literature entertain a widespread conviction that there is conspiracy against the new writer among publishers. They consume large quantities Of postage stamps and haunt the post office. When the manuscripts come tumbling back, it is because the publishers did not read them, or could rot detect budding genius.
 The award of this prize suggests that literary success takes long train ing. The, judges did not know who write any of the manuscripts, so this contest was purely on merit. The money >.ent to Miss Alice Brown, a familiar name in the field of fiction.
 Writing Is trade like shoe making or selling groceries, and one must serve his apprenticeship to win.
 It is astonishing what an enormous number of people believe themselves to be possessed of literary genius. The slightest facility in use of laagu- age is hailed by admiring friends. Young people are urged to divert their energies from farming or book keeping, where they live useful lives, into the scramble for literary suc- cess.
 Most of the best authors ln the United States won their way through newspaper work. There their talent was soon discovered. and they found helpful counsel. Aspirants who do not wish to adopt this method of learning the rudiments of the trade may well stick to the shop or the kitchen. where they are at least sure of daily bread.

DIyTY TO THE CITY.

If Pine Bluff is to obtain other rail- roads. mor1 factories and other enter prises they must be secured through
 the Chamber of Commerce. Competl tion among cities is too keen these days for men with money to invest to be compelled to travel about and seek advantageous locations. Pine Bluffs advantages must be brought to the attention of investors, manufacturers and others. And who is going to dc 1t? None unless it be the Chamber of Commerce. That body must not only be equipped to present the city's advantages before the people, but also to successfully negotiate when that stage of the proceedings 1t reached. How can it do so unless Il has the financial and moral support of the people of Pine Bluff? If Pine Bluff is to continue to grow. the mer who will derive profit from its grow:h-and that means all-mus' contribute their share of work aiic money. Don't be a camp follower ol the Army of Progress. Be right uI in the froat of the advancing detach. ment.
