SORTER KINFOLKS
The lawyer eyed the woman in
the witness box in patient despair
and then he began:
“You say, madam, that the de
fendnnt is u port of iciation of
yours. Will you please explain
what you mean by that—just how
you are related to him?’’
“Well it’s like this,” replied the
witness, beaming upon the court.
“His first wife’s cousin and my
second cousin’s first wife’s aunt
married brothers named Jones,
; anu rney were cousins 10 my
! mother’s aunt. Then, again, his
grandfather on his mother’s side
! and my grandfather on my moth
! er’s side were second cousins, and
his stepmother married my hus
band’s stepfather after his father
and my mother died, and his
brother Joe and my husband’s
brother married twin sisters. I
ain’t never figgered out just how
! close related we are, but I’ve alius
looked on him as a sort of cousin.”
“Quite right,” assented the law
yer feebly.—Exchange.

MY HOME IN ARKANSAS
written r'or me" rwwars journal ny
Rev. Josiah Martin
In Arkansas I have a plat**,
A home T never will disgrace;
I love my home in Arkansas,
I love the land, I love the law.
Chorus. Sing, boys, Sing!
Shout a loud Huzza,
Three cheers for Arkansas.
I love the people, gentle, kind,
For better friends are hard to find;
Her men are brave, her women fair,
Her boys and girls they are so dear.
Yes, Arkansas, red apple land,
With valleys rich and mountains
grand:
f make my home beside her hills
And sleep to music by her rills.
Her timbers are of various kinds,
And precious mineral in her mines:
Her lakes with fish do sure abound,
And in her rivers pearls are found.
Rich coal and oil and gas are here,
And finest building stones appear,
While precious gems and diamonds
KJl It Lily
Liu in her clay just out, of sight.
And on her hills both high and low,
The finest mellow apples grow:
Her fields bear crops of grain so nice,
< >f anything from corn to rice.^
< >f all the states 1 ever saw,
< >, give me dear old Arkansas:
I here can raise my bread and meat.
Have every tiling so good to eat.
And when my neighbors, good and
kind,
To visit me they have a mind,
I’ll welcome them, give them a seat
And then prepare a feast to eat.
The deer and turkeys are all gone,
But hogs and cows are coming on:
Wine grass in meadows now we grow,
Wheat, oats and rye each fall we sow.
Our lands are of the very best,
From north to south, from east to
west;
We raise our corn, we raise our cane
Make plenty when we have the rain.
If we would but diversify,
And raise the tilings we have to buy:
liaise cotton just on little spots,
The finest stock would fill our lots.
So independent we could lie.
From debt and want we could be free;
To educate we’d have more time,
To train our youths while in their
prime.
Now as we pass through rolling years,
Let's free our minds from earthly
cares,
And live a life of peace and love,
That we all may have homes above.
