lRsolutions all the year round" the celebrated
s1thor once said in Boston 81 am no great be-
lever in New Years vows, for, although they are
splendid things, they really don't amount to much
more than Oliver Wendell Holmes tobacco reso-
luton.
"Mr Holmes. with affected gravity, said to a
friend on the first day of the year: 4 really must
not smoke so persistently; l must turn owe. a
new leaf-a tobacco leaf-and have a cigar only
after each'-here he paused as if to say meal
but he continued--after each cigar"

 Emily Martin, in 1887, was mar ried to Lewis Randolph, grand son of Thomas Jefferson, and about his particular marriage there is deftly entwined a TO- nance of the most interesting character.
 Elizabeth Tyler, a daughter of President Tyler, in 1S42, was married to William Waller, and 1874, Nellie Grant, daughter of President Grant, was married to Algernon Sartoris, an English man.
 Emily Platt, niece of Presi- dent Hayes, was another inter- esting White House bride, and in 1878 became the wife of Gen. Russell Hastings.

A MAN AND A FOOL

We borrow the following good brains from the editoral page of the Arkansas Democrat:
 Tt takes a mother twenty years to make a man of her son. It takes another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him. "
 The operator of a gambling house in New Orleans framed these sentiments in the forego- ing fashion many years ago. Probably they had been said years and years before, for the world is old and human nature hasn't changed much since the first woman is accredited with having made a fool of the first man. Probably the gambler meant what he said, at any rate, there is another side of the story that the sage didn't consider.
 Cleopatra made a fool" of Antony, the Biblical verison has it that Eve made a fool of Adam. Gree made a fool of Ulysses, and Calypso came near making him a fool again. Isolde made a fool of Tristan, Delilah handed Sam son the same brand of humor, and throughout history and liter ature similar parallels can be drawn. But one thing the phil osophers seemingly have over looked in their conclusions, and that is that no woman ever made a fool out of a man who wasn't perfectly willing to be assigned to the clown role.

WATERWoRks FOR S2o

About five years ago l read in some farm paper about home waterworks-how small hydrau- lie ram could furnish plenty of water at smallout let. Up to this time we (my wife and D had been contented to get our water with buckets from a spring down a small hill about four rods away. It was my practice to bring two 14-quart buckets morning and noon, and what was needed at night. This was quite task, especially noon and night, when a man comes in from the fields hot and tired.
 I read everything I could get on how to put water in the home. After measuring the flow of water from the spring 1 found we could use a ram which would give us all the water needed. I wrote some houses for prices on rams, necessary fixtures, piping, etc. 1 was surprised to find we could get water into the house for less than $20.00. We decid- ed to order one immediately, with everything necessary, such as extra couplings, elbows, etc.
 When ready to put down the ram 1 read carefully the direction given in the catalog, got the use of my neighbours pipe wrenches, and his help a few hours, and soon had it all connected up. For tank we bought a cider barrel and placed it in the garret over the kitchen, and attached the necessary overflow pipes leading to the chicken yard and wash house. One pipe was run into the kitchen, with a faucet attach ed. We now hadour waterworks going-360 gallons in "A hours.
 When figured up, it all costs less than $20. We were delight ed with it's success. That little ram furnished water for the kitchen, washing and chickens, and much more than was needed. There was no more climbing up the hill with two buckets and tired legs three times aday. My wife was delighted with it's con- venience, and 1 felt it's saving of the energy that was necessary in climbing the steep grade each time water was needed.
 We now have a No. 5 ram at- tached to an artesian well of a neighbours, and get the purest water in great quantities. We have it in all parts of the house where wanted and expect soon to have it piped to the fields for the stock. .-C. D. Haverty, in | The Progressive Farmer.

Little Rock, Oct. 27-F our hundred bushels of the choicest Arkansas apples were shipped from Rogers, Oct. 20, for exhibi- tion in the Arkansas booth at the Panama-Pacifc Exposition. There are 51 varieties in the car. representing the apples that have always won frst-prizes in competition with the world. All were donated, but the ship ment and collections w ere f. nanced by Col. F. B. T. Hollen- berg, Commissioner-General for Arkansas. There are large ban ners on the car, bearing the in- scription, Northwest Arkansas Apples for Exhibition at h Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco" They came from growers at Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale, Lincoln, and other points in the apple district. The shipment was personally supervised by Hillery Jennings, secretary to the Commission.
 In writing Col. Hollenberg, making a contribution to h e popular subscription for the fair, Hon. F. o.

IRE 18TH WHITE ROUSE BRIDE

Woodrow Wilson will be the second president to be married in the White House. Grover Cleveland was the only other chief executive of the nation to marry while holding office. While President Wilson will be the second president to marry in the White House, Mrs. Norman Galt will be the fifteenth bride. She has a distinguished prece- dent to follow.
 Lucy Payne Washington was one of the earliest of the White House brides. She was the widow of a nephew of George Washington and Mrs. Madison s youngest sister. This lady was married in 1911 to Justice Todd of the supreme court.
 Anna Todd, a niece of MT. Monroe, in the year following married John ]. Jackson who, by the way, was the great uncle of Gen Stonewall Jackson.
 The Monroe family seemed happily employed, with Cupid as sponsor, for Maria Hester Monroe, the daughter of the president in 1920 was married to Samuel Lawrence Gouverneur, of New York, who was at the time the presidents private sec retary.
 Mary Helen, a niece of Mrs. John Adams, was the fourth White House bride and was mar ried to John Adams, private secretary to John Quincy Adams, in 1926.

A SILENT TRIBUTE

In respect to the death of brother c. B. Grim, we can not speak informal whereas and whereas, but must speak as from the tenderest depths of our hearts. Brother Grim, we speak to you in the spirit land and behold you as a true friend a Mason. We cherish your memory here and feel deep sorrow for sister Grim, your devoted wife, and Ruth, your daughter.
 In life you were an n s D i r. ation calling us to brighter and better things, throwing round us the cloak of brotherly love and kindness due one brother to an- other.
 Soft and safe, my brother, be thy earthly bed. Bright and glorious be thy rising from it. May the earliest buds of spring unfold their beauties on thy rest ing place and there may the sweetest of summers roses finger latest. Though the cold blast of autumn may lay them in the dust and for a time destroy the loveliness of their existence, yet destruction is not final and in the springtime they shall b l 0 0 m again. So in the bright morn- ing of the worlds resurrection thy mortal frame now laid in dust by h chilly b last Of death shall spring again i n to newness of life and expand in immortal beauty in realms be- yond the skies. Until then, dear brother, farewell.
