Some Difference

For women must weep and men must work, especially if they happen to be commercial travellers.
 Young Byles' heart nearly broke when he had to take the road from his newly welded wife. Constantly he thought of her, and wondered what she was doing.
 'Is is possible" he asked of a clair voyant friend, "that you can tell me what she is doing at this moment ?"
 q see her standing at the door, re piled the medium, assuming a fixed position; "she is smiling at someone"
 "Yes," breathed Byles.
 "She caresses him fondly, and they enter the house"
 Its lie!"
 Gently she strokes his head, and they look tenderly into each others eyes He is about to kiss her"
 "It's false!" shrieked Byles.
 "Now," continued the medium, "he is wagging his tail"

GRAMMAR SCHOOL NOTES

The Grammar School has started under favorable indications. Some of the teachers are crowded, especially the third grade teacher.
 We are alternating on Mondays and Thursdays in giving Chapel services. Yesterday morning the 4th grade pu- pills entertained and right well did they do their part. We have had quite a number of visitors since our opening and promise any and all that if they will come any Thursday or Monday morning that they will be we'll entertained.
 We want to call the attention of the parents to the fact that some of the pupils reach the school grounds too early. We are there by 8 o'clock and always find some body on the grounds, We can't always be there that early. Are not required to be there till S:30 but aim to get there by eight. We shall insist that no pupils reach the school ground before S:30 and they need not leave home before that time as then they will have half an hour in which to reach the school building before o'clock, when our regular work begins.

Afraid of Nifey.

There recently visited the West a young Turk attached to the Turkish embassy at Washington. This youth ful Ottoman was much taken by the daughter of a ranch owner in Wyo- ming.
 "You walk and ride and shoot as we'll as a man." he said to her one day.
 "Why. to be surew exclaimed the girl. to whom all these things were matter of course.
 Gan you swim, tool"
 q can, and very well.'
 "Then you must be quite as strong as a man."
 "I think am-as strong as the average man."
 And you wouldn't let man beat you-not even if he were your hus- band ?"
 Certainly not exclaimed the girl in indignation.
 The Turk shook his head reflective ly. "Now I understand" said he, "why the men of the Western world never have more than one wife they're afraid"

A PROGRESSIVE DISEASE.

are doing the greatest injustice to their children, for instead of allowing them to drink anything but nonintoxi- eating drinks they are starting that progressive disease that may end in their ultimate death or disgrace. To see a beautiful young girl drink a cocktail or even a glass of sherry offends health aristocrats, for they know that poison is contained in every drop The misfortune of all poison taking lies not only in the always ad- vancing appetite but in the always recoding will.-Lillian Russell.

LIQUOR AS HOME WREckER.

The searchlight is being thrown up on the alcoholic question from every angle of vision. Chicago Herald has investigated from the matrimonial angle. To what extent is alcohol re- sponsible for the wrecking of houses by divorce? Answering this question for Chicago--which city, it is said, had a divorce a day last year-the Herald gave a tabulated report. Its findings show among other things that the two charges of habitual drunken ness and cruelty are more frequent in divorce cases than any other one com bination of charges.

Woman Who Has Made Farming a
 Success on Five Acres.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside a woman tells in part as fol- lows how she has made farming suc- cess on five acres:
 If woman must handle her land herself, she can make better living from five acres than from fifty. I have some right to judge because I can keep altogether buster on my five acres than a woman should be.
 When my husband died 1 was in very poor health. 1 couldn't teach as used to do because of my tiny baby, so 1 put nearly all my ready money into a five-acre home, joined the Grange, and went to farming.
 Ut is hardly necessary to say that we didn't live expensively the first year, nor do We now. It is too early yet to balance accounts for the sec ond year, but we are doing better than last year.
 Most important of all, am we'll better than I have been in years and my two-year-old daughter is much healthier than last year.
 "The vegetable garden, small fruit, and little flock of hens afford an easier and surer living for us than I could get in any other way that would be equally healthful and at the same time furnish a permanent home."

VODKA AND WAR.

The greatest single sentence ever uttered for prohibition Charles Johnson asserts in the American Re- view of Reviews, came from the lips of M.

Golden Hairs Question

"Where are they taking mamma to ?" Asked sweet little Golden-hair, As, nestled close to papa's breast, She watched the strange proceed
 ings there; Dear, loving hands had placed the
 fow'rs
 Upon the cask where mamma lay, And thro' the door her form they
 bore,-
 Thought Golden-hair, How strange
 a play" "Where are they taking mamma to-" Her big, blue eyes knew yet no tear And why does papa cry so bad, And other folks so sad appear? The big, black wagon looks so strange And why does momma ride alone? But not a word poor baby heard, For Heavens host had claimed it's
 own.
 Where are they taking mamma to-" An, Golden-hair, some day you'll
 know;
 The goodbye kiss denied you here, Your mamma will in bliss bestow; Long, weary days and years shall pass You'll feel no more her gentle touch, Until you, too, are passing through The way that puzzles you so much. There would be nothing whatever amusing or even suspicious about the following item from the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record, if it had not appear ed in the Society Column, which calls for further explanations:
 Sheriff Chas. Webb went out to Lincoln township last night to serve some papers on people residing in that section"

LAUGHS. LYRICS AND LOGIC
 By Clio Harper.

Odd Bits of News-No new candi- date for Governor has announced for more than a month.
 There was six bits in the General Revenue Fund in the State Treasury that nobody called for all day.
 Hon. O.. C. Ludwig, former Secre- tary of State, who is now helping to hold the United States Senate straight contributes the following unpublished verse:
 If l was back in Arkansas I'd climb
 the clinging vine. And from the densest foliage pluck
 the luscious muscadine: I'd take my dogs into the woods and
 meath the 'simmon tree Just watch and wait for possum fat,
 for that's what would suit me. I'd get some sweet potatoes and I'd
 bake them both together, And have little midnight lunch re-
 gardless of the weather; Among the boys that I would ask to
 join my feast that day Is one l know who likes such things,
 his name is Dunaway.
 Since Capt. von Papen, an attache of the German embassy, confesses that he used the term "idiotic Yankees" as applicable only to newspaper edi- tors, he expects, probably, that the tone of the American press will be- come more conciliatory.
 The Mexican who killed an American soldier with duck shot may imagine that he will need a 42-centimeter gun later on.
