An egotist is a man who insists
on telling you things about himsell
that you want to tell him about
yourself._
The average man displays a lot
of enthusiasm when he gets i
chance to talk about himself.
A girl never fully appreciates a
young man until some other girl
tries to get a corner on his affec
tions. _
Other states have legislatures as
foolish as some of those in Arkan
sas. A legislature in Massachu
setts, for instance, has introducec
a bill which, if passed, will prohibit
physicians, surgeons and dentist:
from wearing beards or mustaches.
Harry Thaw’s fight for freedon
is as spectacular as it is persistant
The persistence probably will b<
indefinite. The specularity wil
end with the Thaw fortune. The
public is fickle and will have little
inrerest in a legal fight unpictured
by money.
Every school teacher who want'
to become better qualified and en
thused in her work and wants tc
meet the best teachers of the state
and find out what they are doinj
educationally should, by all means,
attend the State Teachers’ asso
ciation at Little Rock.ngxt montf.
It is fully expected fnkt 2,5OC
teachers will enroll this year.
When a man goes wrong there it
always a lot said about it, but wher
one who has been wrong for year;
decides to turn over a new leaf anc
succeeds in staying on the narrov
street his heroism is usually for
gotten, if not sneered at. One
Huttig man who has not taken :
drink in two or three years anc
who was drunk most of the time,
deserves a great deal more credit
than he is getting. The sneers
and jeers and jibs that have beer
poked at him have been almost
centive enough turn him back intc
the old channel, The Uplift move
ment should be extended to cover
cases at home.
Hon. Garrison, secretary of war
has been having a pack of trouble
over something that should be of
interest to all people who have
been married more than once. The
secretary has decided that the
names of both wiyes of President
Tyler shall be upon the monument
congress is to erect over Tyler’s
grave in Richmond. President
Tyler’s first wife died in the White
. House and was buried at her home
in Virginia. His second wife n
buried by his side. The relatives
of the first wife think because the
second spouse is buried beside
hcr husband that is honor enougl
a d they want his first wife's name.
Letitia Christian, on the monu
ment. This awakened the ire of
the kin of the second wife who
want the name of their relative,
Julia Gardiner, on the monument.
And Secretary Garrison, who
knows warisell, has decided, in the
interest of peace, to have both
names on the monument, and so
there you are.

GETTING ACQUAINTED
By ALLEN BROCK.
Bob, who had just got home from a
week’s visit with the Farringtons at
their cottage on Black lake, wrapped
his feet securely around the porch
rails and started an after-dinner cigar.
“Isn’t it funny,’’ he remarked, re
flectively, after a meditative puff or
two, “what a difference a summer cot
tage makes?"
The little group on the veranda
looked at him lazily, awaiting further
exposition of his theme.
“You know," continued Bob, "I’ve
always been a little afraid of the Far
ringtons, especially of Nell.”
“That’s because you're badly
nicked,” said Sam, with brotherly can
dor. “A fellow’s always afraid of a
<irl when he’s really nicked."
“No such thing,” said Bob. "I’ve
lever been one of the diffident, self
iffaclng kind that thinks he’s a worm
n the dust whenever he compares
ifmself with a girl he happens to
ike.”
“No, I’ll say that for him,” admitted
’am. "Excessive modesty has never
been one of his afflictions.”
“When you get through roasting,"
said Bob, pleasantly, "I’ll go ahead
ind tell you some more about my
visit."
"Yes, let’s hear about the Farring
tons,” said Jessie.
"Well, what I meant by being afraid
of them was that I never felt quite as
though I could go to their house with
out making a kind of set piece of it
—gloves and stick and visiting cards
and ’Is Miss Farrington in?’ with my
politest accent. It wasn’t that they
were stiff or ceremonious or anything
of that sort. If they had been the
kind of people that sentence you to
one chair when you come to call I
should never have gone near their
house. They were always cordial and
informal enough, but somehow even
their Informality always had such a
polite little finish to it that I used
to feel as though I never could be
quite so nice as they were, no matter
how hard I tried. Mrs. Farrington
would come in and put me at my ease
with Just the correct little social
formula and Nell and I exchanged
amenities according to the precepts
she had learned at Miss Winter’s
finishing school. Mr. Farrington was
friendly in a dignified way that seemed
to call upon me to address him as
sir.’ He would offer me cigars that
I never felt quite free to smoke until 1
Bert took me down to the billiard
room, though Nell and her mother al
ways insisted that they liked cigar
tmoke. Somehow I used to feel that
they would all be corking people to
'enow when I really got to know them
veil enough not to be so polite, but
.mil was lue omy one wn.ii wuuiu i
was on real comfortable scrapping
arms.
“When they invited me to go up tr
heir cottage last week of course the:
old me the usual story about thei'
nformal, primitive way of living—
>ack to nature and all that sort o'
hing—but I've been bluffed like that
tefore and . wasn't prepared for the
deasant reality.”
“Was it a reality?” asked Jessie.
“I went up with Bert Saturday
■light,” narrated Hob. "When we got
to the place Sunday morning the first
person I saw was Mr. Farrington. He
was on the dock In a bathing suit in
dustriously trying to untangle a fish
line. 'Hello, boys,’ he said. ‘Hello,
Heaton! Give me a hand with this
blankety, blank line, will you? Say,
have either of you fellows got any
makings? The only thing I don't like
about life in Lonsomehurst is that
it's so confounded hard to get a smoke
when you want one.’
"Then he took me into the boat
house and showed me confidentially
eight black bass that he had bought
from a boy that morning and that he
was going to catch after breakfast.
By that time Nell came to the door of
the cottage.
“‘Hello, kids!’ she called out. 'I’m
so glad you’re here! Breakfast ia
ready, and I’m starved.’
"Collars and stiff clothes were rig
idly barred, and it didn't take me long
to get into a sweater, where 1 stayed.
"After breakfast Mrs. Farrington
asked me in a matter-of-fact way to
turn the ice cream freezer, and as
Nell helped I didn’t mind. Once,
when we were tasting the cream, we
bumped our heads together and after
that we felt a lot better acquainted.
“Then we went in swimming and
dried in the sun on the dock, and Nell
and I stumped each other to hop over
the cracks on one foot. After that
she showed me how she could ride on
the flying Dutchman, a contrivance
that some children had rigged in the
back yard. It is a long board that
spins around on a pivot, and you have
to straddle it, jockey fashion, to stick
on. When I asked Nell whether she
had learned that accomplishment at
Miss Winter’s, the suggestion over
came her and she lolled off.”
"I suppose when she gets back to
town you'll go around there to call
with gloves and stick and visiting
cards?” asked Sam.
Bob grinned. “Not on your life,’’
said he. “After this I go around bo
the back fence and whistle.”
All Right, but—
A Scotch servant shortly after her
marriage met her former mistress and
on being asked how she was getting
on she replied: “I’m getting on fine,
mem; but ah, I canna bide the man.”—

The last thought follows the others—the next one is the
Monroe Furniture Co. Big Store
is the PLACE to find the QUALITY I like at PRICES I can
afford to pay.
By buying for our two stores and paying no rent, as we
own our own building, we can naturally do business on a less
margin of profit.
A comparison of our prices with others will soon convince
you of the truth ot this statement. We do not ask you to ac
cept it otherwise.
Write us today about the pieces you will need when you
clean house. We know the things you have been wishing for are
here. And the prices won't be as much as you thought. De
livery can be made after the cleaning is over, if you so desire.

It's easy enough to please a woman
if you can only make her decide just
what she wants.
You can’t use cusswords in polite
society, but you can always substitute
a cursory glance.
If you want to know how to manage
a wife successfully, ask a man who
has never had one.
Some people believe in contrasts,
but no man can have a light heart
and a dark brown taste at the same
time.
A cat is supposed to have nine lives,
but If you try to drown y^Ur sorrows
you will find they have more than
that.
It may be true that matches are
made In heaven, but observation
would lead us to believe that most of
them are made by the girl's mother.
