Married Life
the Third Year
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

1t was typical "stageset" studio
a studio of the artist who poses more
than he works.
There were hangings, screens, rugs,
armor, and the countless curios and
useless things that are supposed to
make up the atmosphere of studio.
The usual careful, careless disorder
prevailed, and the place was dim and
dusty and sitting with the odor of
cigarets, burning incense and candles.
Helen was seated on couch COW
cred with an Indian blanket. The
springs were broken and sagged in the
middle, and she kept sliding down
against the anaemic young man who
sat beside her. He had been talking
with much fervor about volume of
poems-love sonnets that were in the
hands of his publishers
He was just starting to repeat some
lines that he had tossed off the night
before when there was a hush in the
huzz of conversation. And some one
announced that Professor Purcaro
would play one of his selections-a
nocturne in A Minor.
Professor PurcarO, with bushy hair
rumpled coat, low collar, a broad tie
sat down at the piano. He first rap his
fingers through his hair in the most
approved manner, and then with an
impressive pause, made a sudden and
wild onslaught at the keys. For a mo
ment he banged with terrible vigo1
and hen as SUDDENLY dropped to {
faint tWiddle-de-de. Once more the in
furiated banging and still again the
caressing, whispering iwiddle-de-de.
HELEN NEARLY LAUGHS.
Everyone seemed profoundly i'm
pressed. But Helen thought Of how
Warren had once initiated just such {
performance, and there came over he
hysterical desire to laugh. Quickl,
she took a gulp of tea from the cup II
her hand and then almost strangled.
Now the music had settled dow
into a steady thunderous stampede
The professor, with his head throw,
back and the shaggy locks awry wa
working hard.
When finally he ended with a las
crashing chord every one applaudet
with murmurs of "How exquisite
What perfect technique! What won
derful expression" Then as though
impatient from the enforced silenc
the buzz Of conversation began again
won't you have another sandwich
asked the poet, who had helped him
self literally several times. TRY on
of these with the nuts"
Ever since Helen had entered Their
had been a crowd around the refresh
ment table, and the paper-thin sand
wiches and weak claret punch rapid
disappeared. She had heard that Their
was a certain class of artists and pc
cts who lived mostly on what the
got at teas. and now as she saw Sc,
eral of them hungrily boiling tn
sandwiches and macarOOns, she wOr
dered if it could be true
Some one announced that Mrs. Kali
1een Burk-Reed would give some chill
representations. Mrs. Burk-Reed, i
spite of her rouge and her girllsh &C
quotry, looked fully thirty-five, TIL
chairs were crowded back and sma
space cleared by the piano for her t
stand.
With an effectation that would hav
been pathetic had it not been so r
diculous. she began lisping Little o.

who was standing with a group just
In front of Helen.
"Brockford! Ohm he's doing some
advertisement stuff-drawing pretty
girls for soap company"
''Too bad" remarked the man in
the velveteen coat. Didn't thing he'd
come to that.
NOT so BAD.
And Helen could not help wonder
! ing as she glanced at the shabby bor-
ed looking artist, if it would not be
better to draw soap advertisements
and get a decent salary than to hang
around studio teas and prate about
! color" 'atmosphere," and soul"
| Above everything else Helen was a
practical little person, and she had a
wholesome horror of men who did not
! work. From the few studio gatherings
she had been to, she was getting the
impression that most artists were
/ Shabby idlers"-an impression for
which she could hardly be blamed.
For the successful artist in any line,
the one who really works, has no

| the "poseur" and the "hanger-on" who
do that. And yet. curiously enough,
it is these very idlers who are always
criticising the work of others, partic-
ularly if the work is Of commercial
nature.
! 1t was growing late and Helen was
anxious to get homo. But she had come
with Mrs. Stevens, who was now in
the midst of an animated group at
the other side of the studio. Several
times Helen tried vainly to catch her

From Wednesdays Daily

HEADQUARTERS IS
 SCENE OF ACTIVITY
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR ARE BEING MADE BY ARKANSAS
 NATIONAL GUARD.

Little Rock, April 30.-Although no intimation has been received by the headquarters of the Arkansas Ma tional Guard that there is any proba- bility of the states military organiz- ation being called for service in Mex leo, Adjutant- General England says that preparations are being carried on as actively as though the call were ex- pected at any moment.
 Several days ago he sent orders to all company commanders to recruit their companies to their full strength of 108 men. The normal strength has been only 58. Many of the captains are reporting rapid progress in the enlisting of men, and in a short time it is expected that the full strength of the two regiments will be in readi- ness for a possible call.
 The present emergency is demon Strating the necessity of some provis- ion by the state government for the equipment and maintenance of the National Guard. The liberal funds coming from the national government are being used to the best advantage, but that is not enough to insure the maximum of efficiency. The practical unpreparedness of the guard when the Mexican war scare started, so far as active field duty is concerned, has pro- vided an argument that will be used at the next session of the legislature to secure state support for the organ iZation

WOULD FORCE DYE
 10 PAY FOR AUTO

Little Rock, April 23.-Charles Highfill of Paragould, a member of the State Highway Commission, stated after the monthly meeting of the commission that he had secured permission from Attorney General w. L. Moose to have M. P. Huddleston, prosecuting attorney at Paragould, bring suit against Ruben G. Dye, chairman of the commission, his bondsmen and possibly others, to force the reimbursement of the state for the amount paid out for an automobile for the use of the State Highway Commission.
 Commissioner Hightill claims that the appropria ton was not regularity made. MT. Highfill opposed the pur- chase of the automobile at this time. The automobile is being used by the superintendent of the state rock crusher, and other officers of the Highway department.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The eighth grade Latin class is de- veloping some fine material. In the test this month-a thorough one, too the following grades were made :: Vida Adams 99, Lizzie Batson 99, Le- ola Fiddler 99, Gaston Fulmer 99, Wendell Henry 99, Forney Thompson 98, Irene Thompson 98, Wilma Bull lion 97. The most of the class made above 85.
 The heavy rain of Monday is re- sponsible for some broken attendance records. At least two little fellows lost out that day
 Our newly planted trees are grow ing nicely. Almost all will live. If our friends will only keep their cows off the campus, we shall soon have a pretty school yard.
 We have found it necessary to fence our flower garden. The cows have a way of pasturing on them. Cows and flowers are incompatible.
 Miss Anna Mccain visited her fam lily in Searcy Saturday and Sunday.
 Our friends who promised medals may order them now, as they will be called for soon. The various contests will be held during the closing days of the school.
 Arrangements are making for rep resentatives of the various trades and professions to speak to the high school pupils from time to time. The object is to give pupils interested in the choice of vocation all the light possi- ble on the subject. For instance, a successful lawyer will speak on the law as a profession. An engineer will tell of his work-how to plan for it, the necessary equipment, the rewards of success, etc. Further announce ments later.
 All hearts are deeply touched by the untimely death of our former teacher and colleague, Mrs Mary Will Stevenson. We loved her living and we mourn her dead.

tracted from the copra. Bananas. mangoes, papayas and many other tropical fruits abound here.
 The government of Samoa is SUD- ported by import taxes on goods and tax on each male citizen of the isl- ands. Last year the tax was 223 pounds of copra each. This tax goes to pay the native official salaries, re- pairs of roads and trails, etc. At the end of the year if all the tax is not used up, it is rebated to the taxpay- CTS. This rebate is being paid here this week.
 The climate is warm here all the time, so the Samoans do not have to burden themselves with many clothes. They do not wear shoes at all, and wear hats only when attending church on Sundays.
 I have been appointed member of the Board of Education by the governor, and at the last meeting was elected chairman of the board. We hope to unify the school system here and establish graded school in each district. The Samoan children are very bright and quick to learn.
 The American flag was raised over the islands on April IF. This day is great holiday here, and prepara- tions are now being made for the ex- ercises this year.

 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 The steamer which touches here from Australia, isdue to arrive tomor- row, so l am writing few lines to your paper to let your readers know something about this little piece of American territory.
 American Samoa consists of the isl of small islands, about 50 miles from here. They came into the possession of the United States in 1898, by treaty with England and Germany The islands are regarded as a naval station and as such are governed by an American naval officer, who has his headquarters at Pago Pago. The islands are divided into three dis tricts, each of which has a native governor, and each district is divided into villages, each of which has a "pulenuu" or mayor. The Samoans practically have home government, and have their own judges, policemen, etc.
 There has been great change among the Samoans since the London missionaries first came among them in 1883. At that time there were con- tinual tribal wars. Now all that has stopped and the Samoans are a very peaceful people. They are all (nom- inally) Christians. In each village there is church-in some of the larger villages there are more than one church. The London Missionary Society exerts' a great influence in the islands for good. There is also a school in each village, which is taught by the pastor of the church.
 In addition to the London Mission ary Society, the Mormons from Amer ica and the Catholics from France have missions in America Samoa
 The principal product of American Samoa is copra, which is the dried meat of the cocoanut. It sells here for four cents pound, and is shipped to San Francisco, where the oil is ex-
