SELF=RESPECT
By the hearthstone, in the shadow,
Gazing at the embers’ glow,
Hearing too the gentle crunching
Of “the spirits treading snow,”
Sat a man whom age had shaken
Like the ancient forest oak,
One who long had felt the galling
Of the worker’s heavy yoke.
He was helpless now, and needy,
Yet through all the by-gone years,
With their poverty and hardships,
And their labor, and their tears,
He had been an honest yeoman,
Just a tiller of the soil,
Grudging not the trademan’s profit,
Nor the politician’s spoil.
Had been truthful, had been honest,
Had been patient, had been just,
Had been always kind to neighbors,
Had not once betray’d a trust;
So, though old and poor and needy,
And a subject of neglect,
He had still that wreath of manhood,
That rare jewel, self-respect.
Would he barter it for station,
Or surrender it for wealth,
Could he do so, would he give it
For his former youth and health?
No! He would not change its ending—
Life at best is but a span —
He was starving, old and helpless,
But would die an honest man!
Were the men in higher station,
Like this starving yeoman, true
To the principlee of honor—
Yes, and also I and you—
It would have upon the nation
A most wonderful effect,
For in truth the root of goodness,
After all, is self-respect,
+ —Jake H. Harrison, in Farm and Ranch.

BATESVILLE MAN SUGGESTED.
ARKANSAS TRAVELERS SOLICITING JAS.
C. JOHNSTON FOR PRESIDENT.
(Batesville Guard)
Mr. James C. Johnston, traveling
representative of the Brown Shoe
Co., is in receipt of a letter from
Wm, H. Barnes, ex-president of the
Arkansas Travelers, soliciting him to
allow them to present, him for presi
dent of the Travelers, at their meet
in*; in Pine Bluff in June next.
Mr. Barnes, in his letter, says: “At
a little caucus held this afternoon
which was comprised of Hon. H. S.
Spivey, ex-president of the A. T.’s,
Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Sadler, Mr. Crow,
myself and others, out of the mem
bers of the order we selected you to
be presented as our president for the
coming year. It was the unanimous
sentiment of the meeting that you
were the man for the place and we
ask that vou allow Mr. Spivey, or
some of us, to place you in nomina
tion for president for the ensuing
year."
We are in hopes Mr. Johnston will
consent to his name being presented.
This part of the state has never been
honored in this manner. Mr. John
ston is very popular with the Travel
ers all over the state, and would un
doubtedly be successful. We hope Mr.
Johnston will be a candidate and that
he will be a successful one.
The Arkansas Travelers convention
meets' in Pine Bluff June 3, 4 and 5,
anj great preparations are being made
for the meeting. All of the members
are very enthusiastic to make this one
of the best meetings in the history of
the order, and are receiving the as
sistance and hearty co-operation of
the citizens of the city, where the
meeting is to be held.

this community for their great kind
ness shown us in our recent loss of1
