CANDID OPINION.

Sympathy never moistened a parched
throat
Most men who claim to have strong
convictions would have little left If
they were to be deprived OF their pre-
JUDGES.
The man who waits for just the right
time to start never gets anywhere.
IL every woman could trace her de-
scent from a king sorrow would never
again find Judgment in a feminine
breast.
There is something uncanny about
the mother who admits that her boy
may have been just as much to blame
as her neighbors child.
The meanest man is one VINO will
call on young lady and spend the
evening talking about the loneliness OF
some other girl.

CHAPTER XIII

Gloria hated herself for the par
oxysm OF emotion to which she had
given way in the presence Of the man
whose love she had rejected. There
was no Interpretation to be put upon
it save that her nerves were over
wrought, yet she did not know how
he would construe her tears. She did
not wish him to think her weak. Sud
denly the girl remembered that tears
were woman's weapon. The thought
so epraged her that in her anger at
being so much a mere woman she for
got to weep. She had in her the spirit
of her father Drying her eyes has
tily, she turned to say good-by.
Wright saw her turn and hold out

thought, but one glance at her face

The man looked at her in a dazed
manner Now that the time of part

possession than he. He groped about
in his mind for something to say but
words were inadequate. There is no
telling how his feelings might have
betrayed him had there not come a
knock at the door to interrupt their
parting.
At the sound Gloria exclaimed with
start. Who's that"
Wright walked to- the door, saw who
asked for entrance, and opened it
vide for Patty to enter.

surprise this news was to her.

CANNING CLUB AGENT
 IN FAULKNER RELEASED
STATE AGENTS SUSTAIN AC- TON OF COUNTY DEMON
 STRATOR EARLIER.

A controversy which resulted in the dismissal of Mrs. William Fortner of Vilonia as canning club demonstra- tion agent for Faulkner county by County Demonstrator J. w. Earlier was heard at meeting held here this morning by three of the state agents, members of the Board of Trade and County Judge J. w. Holt. It resulted in the state agents sustaining the ac- tion of MT. Earlier, and no other can ming club demonstrator will be en- ployed ir this county this year, as it is so late in the season.
 Assistant State Agent w. J. Jer- nigan, District Agent J. c. Barnett and Miss Emma Archer of Little Rock, state agent for the canning club work, were called here to investigate the controversy. It is understood that Mr. Earlier claimed Mrs. Fortner was not devoting a sufficient amount of time and attention to the duties cf her position, charge which she de- nied.
 Miss Archer said that while it would be impossible to carry out the original plans for the canning club work this year, she would make as many visits as possible to the county during the season and endeavor to promote the work to the best possible advantage
