own house in the days of her coquette
ship. Her grandmother had attended
to this—and then a ruaid who in
terpreted her faultlessly. But now her
own hands did all—and did it with
love. And she did replace Seffy—and
more. For she plowed, and, after a
brief apprenticeship, no one did it bet
ter. The bay mare wras as kind to
Sally as she had been to Seffy. Noth
ing in his life had ever been so sweet
to the old man as those rests when
they met. And no food wms ever so
piquant as that eaten under the trees
at their nooning.
Sally still went to the post-office,
and the post-mistress still had her let
ter where she could have put her hand
hand upon It. though she mercifully
concealed this.
Hut there was no hope. Not a word
of confidence had passed between
Sally and the kind post-mistress, but
each knew that tti* other understood
quite as if their confidence was com
plete. So that it was as if they spoke
of an old matter when Sally said, one
day:
"Yes—1 guess it's too late. He's
married.”
"I wouldn’t think so. if I were you.
till I heard from him," said the com
passionate woman behind the coun
ter. “I thought so once. He went to
war. I heard that he was killed. I
married another man—just—oh, just
because! Then he came back. I have
always been sorry.”
Something filled the speaker's eyes
—and Sally, with the dumb intuition
of the primitive nature, stood there
a long time and said only, "Thank
you.”
But after that hope rose and lived
a sain.
That nijht the post-mistress re
ceived, from Washington, the address
of the Kansas State League of Farm
ers’ clubs, and put it on the face of the
returned letter and sent it forth again.

A QUIET WEDDING
W. E. Lee of Des Arc and Miss Ola
Kinrnan of this city were quietly mar
ried at the Methodist parsonage Sun- j
day evening at seven o'clock, Rev. j
Jas. F. Jernigan pronouncing the
beautiful and impressive words uniting i
the lives of these excellent young peo
ple to whom the future glows with j
promise of a long life of connubial i
bliss.
The groom is a prominent young;
business man of Des Arc whose busi- 1
ness ability and many sterling quali- j
ties portend the successful man and j
good citizen.
Tiie bride is a daughter of Mr. and ;
Mrs. J. W. Kinman, and comes from |
one of the best families in the county. .
She is a young lady of many graces
of mind and person, who is fully cap- j
able of filling the home she will adorn i
with happiness for the husband she
has chosen to honor with her hand.

SOME FINE APPLES
Mrs. H. T. Gibson left two of the
finest apples at The Journal office
Wednesday that we have seen this
season. One measures twelve inches
in circumference and the other ten and
three-quarter inches. Their combined
weight is twenty-one ounces.
Mr. Gibson has a young orchard
of forty acres which just came into
bearing this season, there being*' only
a -man amount of fruit on a few of the
trees. The greater portion of the
orchard is apples and peaches, but he
has two hundred pear tree, and will
have one of the finest orchards in the
county in a few years.

opportuntv and never expect to miss a
chance. According to the method the
Republicans have adopted to secure
state-wide prohibition by constitution
al amendment it would take at least
two years by the nearest route, if they
stood a ghost of a show of being elect

in the Democratic platform it can be
brought about if the people want it

ture meets.
STATE HOARD OF ASSESSORS
‘‘Cnder the present system of taxa
tion we are all our own assesors. By
this we are not equally assessed over
the state. 1 favor a tax commission
of three appointed by the governor,
the senate concurring. I would believe
in paying them well. I believe in
good pay to all for any service. First,
because good work deserves good pay,
and good pay gets good work. This
commission at a cost of $5,000 per
year could by having property assess
ed that is not now assessed at all,
bring enough extra taxes to the state
to meet the entire expenses. To keep
this commission out of polities as
much as possible 1 would favor ap
pointiugthem with short and longterms,
two, four and six years. Texas has
tried this and since its institution has
increased its assessed valuation more
than one billion dollars.”

THE GOOD-NATURED MAN
You may sing the praises of the men
of might.
And the heroes brave and strong:
The men who win in the long-drawn
fight
Of the Right against the Wrong;
You may laud the fellows who do great
things,
From Jewry to Japan—
But here’s to the man who smiles and
sing3—
The glad, good-natured man.
| Yes, here's to the man with a kindly
face.
And a gentle, patient soul;
The man who can win or lose the race '
With a perfect self-control:
He’-, the jolliest fellow in all the land,
And he always leads the van —
This human saint with a world of
sand —
The strong, good-natured man.
He’s right on deck with a word of
cheer,
And a helpful lift for all:
And the touch of his hand will banish
fear,
When your drooping spirits fall;
He’s an inspiration, a help, a host,
And he makes you think you can,
When you’re down and out and lick
ed—almost—
The brave, good-natured man.
He’s richer far than the millionaire;
lie’s mighter than the king;
His heart is happy and free from care,
And his voice has a jolly ring;
He’s the strongest, noblest, l»est of all,
Whatever his creed or clan—
So here’s to the man no ills appall—
The grand, good-natured man.
