tions. Then he came down and took
an altered course, but he did not hold
to it. He moved in circular course,
deviating toward the left. Was he
lost? Did my cutting the oatsfeld
detroy the landmark to his home? l
wondered how many hours he had
toiled on, dragging and carrying that
mighty load; never yielding to dis
couragement. I watched him for an
hour, and saw him climb another
stalk four inches high. | wondered
how big the world was to him, and
whether he enjoyed his life, and how
very limited his outlook in the great
creation. Oh, the million riddles of
life. We simply are what we are. A
rose is just a rose. | could not help

dashing pell-mell for distance OF
ten rods, which, if he had run straight,
would have been forty, he beat me by
diving into his home in the ground.
Being quite out of breath, | sat down
to rest at the edge of the field. Look
ing down l saw an ant carrying a
worm four times as large as himself,
among the grass stubble, which both
cred him exceedingly. He appeared
uncertain of his course, and coming
to a grass stalk about seven inches
high, he stopped a moment and then
began to climb it, taking the worm
with him. l marveled at his prodig-
ious strength. Reaching the top, he
remained apparently taking observa-

From Arkansas

Will improve portion of the long
est day in the year by writing you
few lines to say we are at present all
pretty well, and after drifting about
the city for nearly a year, we at last,
by doctors advice and our own incli-
nations, are domiciled in a house of
our own. The property was owned
and occupied by well-to-do oil NAL
of Kansas, and as he was anxious to
get away to look after his business,
we bought his household stuff in con-
nection with the house and one and
half lots, for song, so all we had to
move was our clothing and personal
effects. There is fine garden on the
place, and we have been feasting for
some time on green peas, beans and
raspberries. We are located at the
top of the mountain and are there
fore in a position to look down on a
majority of our fellow-men-in fact
there is only one mortal that we look
up to, that being a preacher living
next door. This estimable gentleman
is considerably over six feet long, and
as the front porch of his house is sew
eral feet above ours, we are obliged
to gaze upward at an angle of forty
five degrees to behold his kindly Wis
age beneath the heavy thatch Of yell
low hair which adorns his Uranium.
There is no doubt but what this rev.
erend gentleman is nearer heaven
than any other resident of the neigh
borhood, and to think of him is really
elevating.
All persons with any pretentions to
social standing in this community
have a flock of well-bred chickens,
and the fact that we secured, with our
other goods and chattels, one Plym-
outh Rock hen, which lays nice egg
every day, we already have standing
in the social scale.
The principal items of interest
here just at present are the building
of the new post office, the raising OF
a Red Cross fund, the raising of a.
fund to pay the band for two daily
concerts at the park, and the pursuit
by the officers of the law OF a young
fellow named Fred Wilder, who was
under arrest a few days ago, but who
gave the sheriff the slip while being
taken to the county bastile. This en-
terprising youngster is wanted on
four charges, viz: wife abandonment,
white slavery, non-registration and
the theft of an automobile. He is,
however, not representative citizen
of Eureka.
We have with us, as guest for the
summer, our daughter Annie, who IS
employed as teacher in Lincoln, S.
D.. school. She is enjoying her vaca-
ton here hugely, and with party
of the neighbors has today gone to
the woods for huckleberries, which
grow here in profusion. There is also
no end of mulberr$es and blackber-
ries. Yours very truly,
N. G. ABBOTT.
8 Singleton street.
Eureka Springs, Ark.
P S. Forgot to say, weather is
simply grand. A short time one day
the thermometer ran@to "a, but gen.
orally it's around 81 day times at the
highest.

Holrlespun

We are told that it is in life's plan
that the good and wise shall some
times rest from their labor, but that
their works shall bless the genera
lions that follow. And so, though the
great educator, Noah Webster, rests,
we still have the rich benefit of his
toll handed down to us in standard
work on the use and definition OF the
proper English words.
Sometimes we are led to think our
selves quite important personages
when a popular, widely known author
ity-someone whose word is tails
man of effect and infuence-showers
complimentary encomiums on our
small efforts at doing things.
It turns out this way, though, some
times, when we look to Webster to de-
fine the appreciation expressed in the
term "homespun like" for we find
that it means "crude. homely, not a
bit elegant" and naturally our exalted
feelings cool down at once. And we
are puzzled to class music that is
musical" and "agreeably mixed in
with this ancient and almost obsolete
word.
But if on the other hand it is used
to exrress a comparison with those
rich toned, fadeless fabrics worn by
our grandfathers and grandmothers,
then it is a rare compliment indeed
Something that wears and serves. Not
like the fiiInsy. up-to-date frills and
fuckers that hardly outlast the sea
son.
Noah Webster knew the live mean
ing of the word homespun long time
before he made a dictionary. Daniel,
