Few men recognize good luck
when they meet it.
Their fickleness is what makes
some girls interesting.
It is easier to appologize to a big
man than to a little one.
No man is so poor that he can’t I
afford to smile occasionally.
Many a man hasn't half a chance
after acquiring a better half.
The crooked politician who pro
fits by g’-aft is naturally opposed to
Act No. 3.
One secret of success is to pre
tend to be happy and prosperous
when you are neither.
How can a citizenship have re
spect for a law of which that citi
enship is not informed?
What do you suppose the women
would find to worry about if they
were given the right to vote?
Act No. 3 provides some patron
age for the newspapers, to be sure;
but it checks graft and extrava
gance and tends to eliminate those
very expensive evils from the af
fairs cf state.
An Omaha magazine is starting
a crusade against corsets. The old
argument that the corset makes
woman unfit for the real duties of
fife is retold with a new dressing.
And speaking of dressing, news
papers and magazines and physi
cians may preach to their heart’s
content. As long as Dame Fashion
decrees that corsets shall be worn,
that’s all there is to it; they will be
worn.
Act No. 3 will accomplish noth
ing worse for the “State of Arkansas
than the enlightenment of her peo
ple on public affairs and the reduc
tion of taxes through the elimina
tion of graft and extravagance
which cannot be conducted in "the
light of day.”
Wearing a flower for Father next
Sunday is a good idea, but Father
: quite likely will continue to wear a
pair of ten-cent socks while daugh
ter sports hosiery costing $1.50.
Father’s cravat, too, is the old
fashioned kind that hooks without
tying, while Son wears one that
contains every hue of the rainbow,
with a price to correspond. Father
should be rememoered, all right,
and he will be—after he’s dead.
A learned judge has held, again,
that the testimony of bloodhounds
is no good and has no standing in
court. A dog cannot speak, of
course, but he is so often to be
trusted more faithfully and implic
itly than men. The word of a dog
in court, for instance, is quite often
worth a great deal more than the
word of a man, although we are too
civilized to admit the truth and fi
delity of a dumb animal that can
not converse in English.
A stockholder in a well managed
corporation receives an accounting
rf the funds handled and a report
of the financial standing of the
concern. A stockholder in Arkan
sas citizenship under the present
laws receives no accounting or re
port unless he takes it from the
books and records himself. It
would be evidence of just as good
judgment to say that money ex
pended for auditors, bookkeepers,
printing and mailing of reports to
stockholders of corporations is
wasted as to say that money spent
to give an accounting of public af
fairs is wasted. "Millions for
Graft, But Not a Cent for Publici
ty” might well be the slogan of
some who take the stand that the
state would "save” the cost of ac
counting to the people. Refusirg
to spend money is not necessarily
economy. For instance, would it
be economy to stop buying clothes?
Says Moon It Oval Shaped.
Astronomers will await with inter
est details of the “experiment” car
ried out by Professor Stiattesi at Ro
logna by which he claims to have
demonstrated that the moon is oval
shaped.
The moon is more easily measured
than any other heavenly body, but
though It has been measured thou
sands of times no difference has beeD
detected between its polar and equar
torial diameters. A clergyman recently
put forward the theory that the side
of the moon always turned away from
the earth Is of the same size and
shape as the great pyramid which, ac
cording to Revelations, forms the
“New Jerusalem.” Eventually, so as
serts the author of the theory, the
moon will fall on the earth, and the
hemisphere turned earthward will
bury Itself in our planet, while the
pyramidal New Jerusalem will project
above the rack and ruin of the ele
ments as the Ce.lestial City, where the
faithful are to spend eternity.
This remarkable lunar theory has
been published with a preface by tha
bishop of Exeter.

ROMANCE ANO REELS
By BELLE K. MANIATES.
Joyce Atherton, who had never had
a wish denied or a burden to bear,
was now confronted with the serious
problem of earning her living. Her
father had died suddenly, and when
the estate was settled there remained
for Joyce the sum of $100.
‘‘I suppose," said a sweet ^irl friend,
who had always been envious of Jo^ce,
“that now you are poor Herndon Thay
er will propose.”
Joyce winced. Herndon Thayer’s
adoration of her had been an open se
cret, but he had never told her of his
love. He was a struggling young law
yer, and he had frequently voiced his
contempt for poor men who married
rich.
He had gone West a few months
before, but Joyce had not heard from
him since his departure.
"I am not going to marry,” she re
plied seriously. “I am going to earn
my living.”
There were numerous suggestions
from friends along this line, but Joyce
had a latent undeveloped amount of
the praetical.
‘Til go to Marie,” she finally de
cided, “for lodging and advice.”
Marie w-as a former maid who had
married a chauffeur.
Marie welcomed her former mis
tress with French effusion, and was
delighted to shelter her in the “extra
room."
“We are going to a picture show, Al
fred and I,” said Marie that evening.
"Wouldn't you like to come?”
Joyce w'ent with them and received
an inspiration.
"That girl at the piano plays about
the same style of music that I do.
Maybe I could get a similar position."
Marie chanced to have an acquaint
ance with the young woman and they
remained until the close of the little
theater. Joyce had a most satisfac
tory interview wilh her. The pianist
was very anxious to “lay off for a
week" and had been looking for the
right substitute. Joyce was engaged
In her place and acquired the trick of
the reels so easily that she secured a
permanent position in a little theater.
It was a very unpretentious theater.
Besides the pictures and Joyce’s piano
playing there was only a soloist. One
afternoon Joyce took up, as usual, the
accompaniment to the song that was
to be rendered. A pang of homesick
ness seized her, for the song was a fa
vorite, the one Herndon had always
asked her to play for him. As she
played the prelude memories of other
days came so vividly that her eyes
Ailed with tears and she did not look
up at the singer. When the first
strains rolled out from a deep bari
tone, Joyce's fingers stopped suddenly,
she looked up and her wildly wide
eyes met Herndon's ardent^aze. With
a mighty effort she pulled herself to
gether and played the accompaniment
mechanically. At the close of the
song there was an interval of a few
moments before the next performance.
Herndon came down into the little
pit where the piano was.
“What are you doing here?” she
exclaimed. "How do you come to be
singing in a cheap picture show?”
"I might with more reason ask how
you come to be playing in such a
place, but w:hen 1 came to New York
yesterday I learned for the first time
of your misfortune. No one could tell
me where to find you. I remembered
Marie, and how interested you were in
her marriage, and somehow I thought
she would know. 1 remembered that
she had married Morton's chauffeur,
and Morton knew his name. So this
morning I looked in a directory. You
were out, and I bade Marie not tell
you I had been to see you.”
"But," she reminded him, “you have
not answered my question. Have you
given up law, and why did you take
up singing as a profession?”
“I haven’t. When I left Marie's I
came here and fixed it up with the so
loist and the manager to let me take
his place for the afternoon."
"Why?" asked Joyce.
"That's why," he replied, pointing to
the picture that was being displayed
to portray the efforts of a young cow
boy to discover whether his love was
reciprocated.
‘Once, lie continued, “I almost
dared hope that you Cared. So I
thought I would take you unawares
and see if you did. I have loved you
so long, Joyce. Do you care- a little?"
"You have just time,” said Joyce,
placidly, her heart beating' rapidly,
"to get up on the stage in time for
your solo."
lie sang to h“*\ hut she wouldn't
look up at him. 't the close of the
last performance he was waiting for
her.
"Marie told me to come home with
| you to dinner, and won t you answer
my question, Joyce?”
"Yeu said you had loved me so long.
Why didn't you tell me so. back in the
old days? Was it because I had
money?"
"Because 1 had none. That is why
I gave up law.”
"Hut you see now I am the one that
is proud. You are rich and 1 am poor.”
“But Joyce I had overcome my
pride. I wrot,e you to the old address,
but' it came back. I came here to ask
you, not knowing you were poor.
Please, tell me, Joyce."
“What did my eyes say?” Bhe asked
trying to speak lightly.
“They said, T love you ’ ”
"They spoke the truth,” she mur
mured. '
