About the laziest person we know
of this season is Jupiter Pluvius.
There is the silhouette gown for
women and then there is the Palm
Beach suit for men.
As Gen. Villa is not doing any
thing spectacular, it is likely that he
is going to do it pretty soon.
After the Colonel's lecture in
London it will be the Brittish em
pire's own fault if it goes wrong.
Forgetting politics for awhile the
clizens of this country would do
well to read the president's tribute
to the flag and then sing that glo
rious anthem "America.”
Although Mr. Pinchot has quar
reled with Mr. Perkins, the Pro
gressive party refuses to take part,
realizing the folly of any party
quarreling with its meal ticket.
One of the new things William
Allen White is advocating. There
should be a law which will prevent
issuing a marriage license to a girlr
who can’t cook, can't keep house,’
clean up children's dirty noses and
necks, ane can’t pass a decent ex-1
animation on the feeding and care
of infants. When women know*
something of what they are going,
into, as married women—whethert
they are rich or poor—there will
be more sacredness of motherhood
than the poets have ever sung.
Ntw civilation has taken women
from the home; it has put them in
stores and offices and shops and!
«*ev
factories. Home science must
now be learned outside the home.
But it must be learned, and the
sooner the law cracks down on
fool girls who go into matrimony
caked in ignorance, and breed fool
children who raise hell in the world,
the better will this sad old world be.
Since Union county has its own
particular advantages and products,
its own peculiar opportunities for
outside investors and home-seek
ers, it is up to Union county to let
its advantages be known to the out
side world. As Arkansas is going
to be represented at the Panama
Pacific Exposition in San Francis
co in 1915 with a beautiful state!
building where space will be re- j
served for all the counties and
towns that care to participate, why
shouldn’t Union county have just
as attractive an exhibit as any oth
er locality, or more so? And why
shouldn't we be represented in the
moving pictures which are to be
shown continuously in the Arkan
sas building?
A merchant has a right to be in
formed as to the prices paid by a
county or city to his competitor for
goods furnished. He has a right
to know everything else which Act
No. 3. to be voted on in Septem
ber, guarantees that he shall know.
He has a right to know whose tax
assessment has been reduced after
being fixed by the assessor. He
has a right to know what orders
affecting shippers and freight pay
ers have been made by the Arkan
sas Railway Commission without
having to pay private agencies for
this information. He has a right
to read in his own county paper a
[summary of the new laws passed
by the legislature effecting his bus
iness or his future conduct. The
public has a right to know and Act
No. 3 will give the public its rights.
You are a member of the peo
ples' legislature when it comes to
passing the Publicity Law, Act No.
3. You do not have to go before
the legislative committee or button
hole politicians at the Capital to
get Act No. 3 passed. It is to your
interest to know what is being done
with your tax money. You are
certainly personally and vitally in
terested in removing opportunity
and temptation for graft, extrava
gance and spoils from public offi
cials. Therefore we feel justified
in pronouncing Act No. 3, which
will revolutionize financial methods
in public office, promote good gov
ernment and be the greatest tax
equalizer ever put on the statute
books, a law for the people and by
the people. If ever there was pro
posed an Arkansas law any more
vitally beneficial to the individual
who votes and pays taxes than Act
No. 3, we don't know what law it
is. You are the legislator in this
instance and will vote directly on
this law in the September election.
Don't overlook it. A case of neg
lect to vote either way on Act No.
3 is a vote against it.
Real Secret of Life.
The secret of life is not to do what
one likes, but to try to like that which
one has to do; and one does it in time.

A DEATH FOR A LIFE
——
• By H. M. EGT-RT.
"Mr. Hanson, I—I—1 brought you
some grapes.”
The sby girl from the valley depos
ited the cluster upon the little rudely
made table In Hanson's shack and
stood looking at him wistfully, the
blushes deepening upon her cheeks.
Hanson looked past her, down at the
valley far beneath him, into which the
evening mists were already rolling
from the sea. It was a wonderful
scene, that valley, filled with rich
vineyards and fruit orchards, where
men toiled and reaped the wealth of
the fertile earth, while here, on these
barren mountains—
"Mr. Hanson, I guess you must be
awful lonesome up here, with only
poor Mr. Davis for company,” said
Myra sadly. “That was why—”
"Why you took pity on a poor con
sumptive?" queried Hanson, ironically.
The girl nodded. Hanson looked at
her again. He had almost learned to
love her during his-three months' stay
on the mountains. Hardly a day passed
but she brought, him some little offer
ing—a bottle of milk, a bunch of
grapes, some peaches, some flowers.
"I—I hope you'll soon be well again,”
she said, and turned and ran down
the slope.
Hanson smiled ironically again.
There was something of irony in his
presence there, he, the supposed con
sumptive, for whom the police of a
dozen cities were busily searching. He
had wished a thousand times that he
were even what he pretended to be,
instead of having vigorous health.
If once that search abated, if only
he could lie down to sleep without the
guilty fear of apprehension before
morning; if only he could see an ap
proacnmg stranger wunoui reeling
thr/ abominable quaking of the heart.,
then life would offer him nothing bet
ter than a cottage in that same fertile
valley below*—and Myra.
He knew she loved him, for it was
impossible for the simple valley girl
to conceal her feelings. Ami he knew
that she was his for the asking. If
only that, pursuit would stop!
A step at the door caused him to
grasp his revolver in alarm, but at
the sight of the newcomer his grip on
it relaxed. "Come in, Mr. Davis," he
said.
Davis was a young Englishman,
strikingly like Hanson In appearance,
only with that contrast that exists be
tween a healthy man and one In tbe

last stages of tuberculosis. Davis oc
cupied a shack less than a mile dis
tant.
“I came to you, Hanson,” he mut
tered In a shaky voice, sinking down
In the chair. “I'm dying, old man.”
“Nonsense,” said Hanson briskly.
"You look a sight better than you did
this time last week."
“You can't kid me, old man," said
Davis. "I'm a goner. I haven't any
lungs left. My time has come all
right and—I say, I want you to go over
my papers after I'm through and fix
up a few things for me, will you? I
want my mother in England notified
and—a few other things.”
Hanson nodded. He could no longer
play that game of deception which
everyone plays with dying men.
“You'd better spend the night here,
old man," he said. “You might have
an accident if you tried to go home
in this fog.”
"I—I'm not going home any more,
Hanson,” gasped Davis, and slid to the
floor unconscious
Hanson picked him up and placed
him on his bed. Davis was barely alive
—it was evident that his chances of
going home were just about as slim as
he had claimed. Hanson looked at
the unconscious man in deep uncer
tainty. There was a doctor in the val
ley, some ten miles distant. Should
ho go to him and leave Davis alone,
or stay with him? There was little
that he could do; on the other hand
mere might be a chance.
He was still cogitating when Davis
opened his eyes again. “Old man,” he
1 whispered, "I want you to do some
thing for me.”
"Of course. Davis,” said Ilanson. "I
was thinking of going for the doc
, tor.”
, "Never mind the doctor,” Davis an
j swered, a faint smile crossing his
face. “He can't help me now. I say,
would you light the candle, Hanson?”
, Hanson struck a match and applied
It to the wick. The tiny, flickering
flame illumined the little cabin, show
. log the sick man s face, ghastly white,
,*H* he tossed upon the bed.
"Come here, Hanson," whispered Da
rts. “I—I can't shout. _ I want a
photograph—photograph of a girl on
the table beside any bed. Will you
get it for me?”
“Of course 1 will," said Hanson
cheerily. “Now, you lie still, Davis,
and I'll be hack as soon as possible."
"(Jod bless you!” Davis muttered,
grasping Hanson s hands between his
I own.
Hanson hurried away upon hiB mis
sion. Davis' shack was only a short
distance, but the way to it was a
stiff climb among the crags and loose
boulders which strewed the slope, and
in that fog it would take the better
part of an hour to go there and return.
Hanson did not spare himself. The
'og was still dense, and It was almost
by instinct that he picked his way
among the crevasses until he Baw the
outlines of Davis' shack loom indis
tinctly before him. Then he entered.
Upon the little table was the pho
tograph of a beautiful English girl,
evidently Davis' sweetheart. The
tears rushed into Hanson's eyes. What
a fate! What a fate! Better his own,
a thousand times!
He took the photograph and start
ed back. Although he had stayed
only a few minutes inside the cabin,
the fog was lifting, and the stars that
appeared through the rift in the clouds
gave promise of a brilliant night. The
return was therefore easier than the
start. Hanson hurried through the
pines, leaping from rock to rock, all
his efforts bent upon returning to his
shack before Davis lapsed into the
final unconsciousness.
Already he had ascended the last
elevation and could see the cabin in
the distance when a shout beneath
him sent him upon his face in Instinct
ive alarm. Then other shouts fol
lowed, and Hanson perceived half a
dozen men spring up from the under
brush and surround the cabin.
"Como out, Hart,” yelled the leader,
the sheriff, evidently, a big man wear
ing a brace of revolvers In his belt.
"We've got you fair, Hart, and you'd
best come out and not make any trou
ble for us."
There was no sound within the
cabin.
"Hanson, then, if you like that name
better,” the sheriff continued. “Come
along, boy, or we'll burst in the door
for you. Which is it to be?"
There was not the slightest re
sponse within. A moment of silence
followed. Theff the sheriff applied
his shoulder to the flimsy door.
It cracked and splintered, yielding so
suddenly that it precipitated him sud
denly upon his face inside.
"Come along, boys, here he Is,”
yelled the sheriff in triumph, and
sprang to his feet, followed by the
whole half dozen of his assistants.
Hanson, cowering among the rocks,
heard their shouts of surprise. Then
followed a period of silence, intermin
ably long to the crouching man, but
in reality of only a few seconds' du
ration. The men came trooping out
again.
“Dead for a ducat!” the sheriff mut
tered. ‘‘Poor devil! It’s a mean way
to die, ain’t it, boys!”
They came slowly toward the spot
where Hanson lay.
“Well, boys,” the sheriff said, “there
ain't nothing to be done, I guess, ex
cept to bury him. , We've identified
Hanson, or Hart, for sure from his
photograph, and we’ll get the reward.
We can’t keep him above ground until
the detectives come from the East to
identify him themselves."
“That's right, Jim,” answered one
of the men.
"Then let’s finish the Job," said the
sheriff, halting. “I saw a spade out
side the shack. There's no ubb com
ing back again from San Antonio.”
The two men went back slowly, fol
lowed by the rest. They almost
brushed against the rock behind which
Hanson lay concealed. As the sheriff
passed, Hanson recognized him. He
was a man from San Antonio, five
miles over the mountain, a village into
which Hanson had sometimes gone for
provisions, taking a short cut through
the hills. San Antonio did not com
prise part of the secluded valley be
low. The news of the fugitive's death
would be flashed across the continent
long before it filtered into the isolated
community among which Myra
dwelled.
it was more than an hour before
the party returned. They passed si
lently and went upon their way. Then
Hanson arose and ran toward the
cabin. Outside, where there was a
small space of deep soil among the
rocks, was a newly-made grave. The
cabin was empty.
It seemed incredible to Hanson that
his friend lay there, buried from sight
until the judgment day. His footprints
were still upon the turf; there was
the chair in which he had "bat, and
the impress of his body upon the bed.
And in his hand Hanson still held the
photograph.
Stooping down he threw some spade
fuls of earth aside and placed the pho
tograph, face downward, above the
dead man. Then he threw the dirt
over the spot once more and heaped
on bouldera to guard against raiding '
coyotes.
A Rible text into his mind: I
“There is no greater love than this,
than a man lay down his life for his
friend.”
All at once Hanson found himself
sobbing uncontrollably. Davis had
died, and, in dying, had given him his
: freedom. Aye, but there was some- j
I thing more. He had given him his
soul again. His life must be lived
for others henceforward, because his I
former life lay buried there.
I Hanson looked down across the val
ley toward the place where Myra
, lived.
"To the new life!" he whispered,
“the new life together!”
