PROSPEROUS IRA

 OF PROSPERITY.
BY CLIO HARPER.

Little Rock, Oct 7-"Just turn Old Confidence loose" is the slogan that has been given the state by a successful Little Rock business man. He declares that 'it is nobody's fault but our own if the wheels of com merce don't go round,' and other progressive business men of the state are agreeing with him.
 Those who discard their blue gOg- gles long enough to get an unobstruct- ed and perfect view of the situation agree with him that conditions were never so promising in Arkansas as they are today And the hymn of prosperity is genuine, and not rlere- ly a discor64nt tune whistled till ough a graveyard to keep our courage up
 That there is plenty of money in the state is indicated by the fact that there is $36,S85, ,945 on deposit in the sttae banks, not counting the many millions of deposits in the national banks. And there is S1O,239 ,646.32 reserve in the state banks.
 The farmers and the bankers are getting closer together. The suspl- cions that kept them apart are being dissipated, as they understand each other better, and see that their ln- terests are not diverse but identical
 A meeting called by the Farmers Union, held last week in Little Rock, was instrumental in brushing away many of these clouds of mlsunder- standing. It was shown that the farmer need have no fear of being able to realize on his cotton, for not only Little Rock banks, but many other banks, are ready and anxious to finance the crop, at a maximum ot eight per cent, on properly ware housed and graded cotton.
 But with the price advancing as 1t has been for the past two weeks, the farmer is very well pleased to sell. Where a slow demand was threaten ed, greatly accelerated demand IS now promised, and John F. Boyle, Little Rock cotton expert, predicts that the staple will go to IS cents or even higher. He declares that hls views "are based not only on the short crop being gathered in the south but the enormous demand for dry goods and other products ot cot ton"
 Little Rock merchants returning from the north and east bring the most optimistic reports of conditions affecting industry and commerce. ana declare that prospects have not been so encouraging in several years. Heavy stocks are being put Tn by the iobbers preparatory to what IS look nd forward to as a tremendous fali and winter trade. This may be ac- cepted as a reliable barometer ot the situation. as indicated by men who make it their business to diagnose business symptoms.
 Business in all lines appears to De improving, confidence is rapidly belng restored, and business men general lv are predicting return ot good times.
 For a time after the opening of the war. the saw mills and timber plants of the state were closed down, but now practically all are in operation running full forces, some Of them working day and night to fill orders. Never before has there been so much road building in the state, and ar chitects and builders report good business.

THE attire and conduct OF bathers
AT the beaches this year havo
again given rise TO an ever-in-
creasing wave of comment and criticism.
On the one hand, it is protested that
never before have the limits OF deccncy
been so completely ignored, while, on
the other hand, the departure from con-
ventonal ideas in bathing costumes is
hailed as a necessary reform in order
TO facilitate swimming and promote
physical exercise.
The fact that wOmcn's bathing attire
this season is scantcr and designed to
reveal more of the figure than ever be-
fore is evident TO every one who has
visited the shore resorts. Photographs
OF actual scenes taken at random on
beaches in the vicinity OF New York
are shown on this page.
1t cannot be denied either, that the
craze for the modern dance, which de-
yeloped originally in the ballroom, then
spread TO JSle roof garden and gradually
became an attraction at the restaurant,
has now revealed itself on the beaches
There are those who see in these de-
velopments convincing evidence OF our
civilizations decay.
The degradation Of society through
luxury, indulgence and the pursuit OF
earthly pleasures, it is pointed out
was the forcrunncr OF the fall OF
Greece and Rome, and there is no rca-
son 10 hope that. exhibiting the same
symptoms, we may escape the same
fate
On the other hand il has been widely
contenGed that while in a few cases the
propricties have undoubtedly been ig-
norcd, prudsh people have been raising
a tempest IN q teapot. Abbreviated bath
ing attire is essential ii the valuable
sport OF swimming and bathing is 10 be

fed to an intolerable Decree
1t may be mother love or the natural
love for mate. In either case il it is un.
satisfied it causes pain. Do not forget
that mental distress, longngs, lonesome
ness, the hunger for sympathy are only
degrees Of soul pain.
Pain may come from another kind OF
loYc-or, better said, a longing, hunger
to attain some object in life. Such soul
pains come from a dissatisfied ambition
to make name in literature or art, to
be carrier Of Gods messages, to give
to the world some valuable invention or
discovery.
When man or woman is possessed of
these impulses and desires to the eXclu-
sion Of all other really important matters
in life, and fails to release or obtain
them. most obsessing mental and soul
pains are certain to follow.
This pain calls for relief. Relief only
can come through attainment. This be-
ing considered impossible, the suffering
individual commits suicide or else sinks
into a state Of mental and moral lethargy.
Many Of the sad tales related in the daily
papers have at their bottoms these de-
plorable conditions.

Christmas Was Cold

Christmas was fttingly observed in
Morris this year and as far as known
today nu accidents marred the plea
sures of the celebrations. Many of
the churches had special musical and
literary programs and quiet home
gatherings and private Christmas trees
at the homes marked the passage of
another year in the fight of time.
According to the weather observers
Christmas day this year was the second
coldest Christmas in the history of
tabulated temperatures. The ther-
mometer registered thirty one degrees
below with a stiff northwest wind
driving the loose snow over the
prairies. From various sources come
claims of more than thirty -one degrees
but thermometers known to be correct
give that figure. Christmas day 1902
has the distinction of being the
coldest. The cold spell of the last ten
days was general over the northwest
and penetrated as far south as Florida,
bringing snow into many of the south
ern states.

been keeping pretty close tab on
the wicked.
Most of the arrests were made upon
charges of vagrancy and intoxication.
Four were Highway robberies. and
two were assault cases. Thirty -one

cases demanded the attention of the

the old favorite hang out near the
