TIE PoStho1e Digger

He was vigorous worker, and he
was digging posthole in the bed of a
river. A post was to be placed in it as
part of the extension of whar f.
He worked hard, and got rapidly
deeper and deeper.
He struck the stones, but he reached
down and pried them up.
He got thoroughly soaked, but ne
grinned cheerfully.
He sang at his task, and was an in
SEPARATION to all the other workmen.
Five o'clock came, but he faithfully
finished his posthole, though it took
him ten minutes longer. He was no
time server.
Then he climbed, dripping, out on
the bank and walked home, happy IN
the consciousness of good work accom-
pllshed.
But he did not put post into the
posthole, and when he came back the
next morning he found the hole filled
again with mud and completely obliter-
ated.
Howe yer, he cheerfully went to work
again, singing asshe labored, and dug
the hole once more.
And the company paid the bin.
Moral: Cheerfulness is good, zeal is
better; but bit Of brain is best of all.

have built their cabins 40 feet apart so
they are close neighbors. A short time
ago they dug we'll IL feet deep and
now cannot find the we'll. The water
came up with such force through the
hard pan that it has overf1owed the
surrounding low land and washed away
the banks of the excavation. There
are plenty of deer, wolverines and jack
rabbits in that region, there being two
deer hanging in their cabins when the
letter was written. Last summer the
young men were in Canada and attend

men were gathered. They expect to
remain on their claims for three years
and each must plow 20 acres or more in
the spring.

ONE MORE WEEK FOR
 GENERAL ASSEMBL '

Little Rock, March 1.-The legisla- ture will adjourn sine die one wee k from today noon. There have been about 750 bills introduced in both houses, the greater majority of which are of a local nature. There is very little prospect at this time of any general legislation aside from the ap- propriation bills, which will occupy the greater part of the time from now until adjournment. Up to the pres ent time nothing whatever has been done toward providing for a solution of the financial problems confronting the state. The only bill that has been offered looking to even a temporary solution is the bill by Representative Ben L. Griffin of Little Rock for a million dollar loan to take up the deficit in the treasury and to put the state on cash basis. But this has been received with disfavor by many and the possibility of it's passage is extremely remote. The only relief ap- parent to members of the general as sembly seems to be to apply the bat tle-axe literally to every appropria- tion that comes up.

The truth of this saying was fully realized in the case of Hope Foster, the poor chorus girl. Her mother is stricken with serious illness and 'ev- erything looks black when Hope un- expectedly is given the lead in the cast. Her mothers illness hangs over her like gloom and she almost des- pairs making good in her new posi- tion. The night of her first appear ance she has a beautiful vision of her mothers assured recovery and this joyous forecast enables her to make a pronounced success.

 ITEM IN BILL.

Little Rock, March 4.-The battle axe brigade was met by an immovable opposition in the house Wednesday. The greater part of the day was spent in considering the bill in committee of the whole. Amendments to reduce or strike out practically every item were offered by those who sought to reduce the appropriation, those who led in this movement being Messrs. Posey, Wagoner, Hatley, Belote and Steed Early in the days session an hour or more was devoted to a discussion of each item, but when the factional lines had become clearly identified, the reductonists surrendered.
 q want to know,' said Mr. Posey, If you fellows are organized. If you are, we will quit
 From that moment the amendments offered were received with scant con- sideration, and each one was voted down viva voce as rapidly as it could be read.
 Those who led in the fight for the bill as it came from the senate were Messrs. Rarruth, Rorex, Sawyer, Johnson and Collier The bill was finally reported out of the committee of the whole, without single change in the items of appropriation, with the recommendation that it do pass.
