Lecture To Boys.
Here is a short lecture which
young men may read with profit.
‘•Jolubod, my boy, me thought I
heard you speak of your sire this
morning as the old man. You are
eighteen years of age are you not t
Just so. That is the age when
callow youth has the first attack
„t big head. You imagine at this
moment you know it all. I ob

the angle of your hat, the tip of
vour head, the flavor of your
breath, the style of your tooth

your Walk that, '.out a-v .ad*v

can overlook, but it pains him
sorely to hear you speak ill terms
of disrespect of one you should
never mention save by the sacred
name “father.* He may not be
up to your style in the modern
art of making a fool of himself,
but teu to one, he forgets more
in a week than you will ever
know. He may not enjoy smok

By and by, after you are through

something, you will be ashamed
to look in the glass and wonder
where the fool-killer kept himself
when you were ripe for the sacri

and stops to rest, and you fpld

last look a face that has grown
beautiful in death, you will feel a
sting of regret that you ever

Attractive Women.
All women sensible desire to be
attractive. Beauty is tlie stamp
of health because it is the out
warrl manifestation of inner puri
ty. A healthy woman is always
attractive, bright and happy.
Wheu every drop of blood in the
veins is pure a beauteous flush is
on the cheek. But when the
blood is impure, moroseness, had
temper and a sallow complexion
tells the tale of sickness, all too
plainly. And women to-day
know there is no beauty without
health. Wine of Cardui crowns
Women with beauty and attracti
veness by making alrong ««»,<!
healthy those organs which make
her a woman. Try Wine of Car
dui, and in a month your friends
will hardly know you.

The Editorial We.
The oiigiu of tlie editorial
“we” in involved in some doubt,
hut it svas fiivt used, in all pro
bability, to convey a plurality of
idea. Kings, princes, potentates,
ecclesiastical dignitaries or others
who speak or write in a represen
tative capacity make use of the
plural pronoun. The continued
use of the editorial “we” in mod
ern journalism is no longer pri
marily to convey a plurality of
idea, but it is used to conceal in
dividuality and avoid any sem
blance of egotism on the part of
an editor. In addition to numer
ous other virtues the modern
editor is exceedingly modest and
shrinks from publicity, as a
maiden shrinks from a mouse.
Editors who write all the wise
things appearing in the news
papers are wholly unselfish, and
they ere always anxious that the
public and tlio universe at large
shall share in the honor and
glory which is theirs, hence the
“I” never obtrudes itself in pub
lic, the individual preferring to
conceal himself behind a plural
pronoun in which his personality
is unrevealed and his identity un
disclosed.—Ex.

ON THE BEEF TRUST
LIES RESPONSIBLITY FOR THE
PREVAILING HIGH PRICE
Live Stock Statistics Show That
There is no Scarcity of Cat
tle, but an Increase in
Total Number.
According to the dispatches
from Washington the attorney
general of the United Stutes lias
directed an investigation of the
public charges to the effect that a
combination of the large meat
dealers of the country had effect
ed a combination contrary to the
laws of the United States, to ad
vance the price of meats.
The investigation may or may
not secure lhe information desir
ed, hut whether it do or not there
is one certain way by which the
trust may be dealt with and the
price of meats tie reduced- Con
gress, if so disposed, could settle
the question in short order by a
bolishing the tariff on meats. The
Dingley tariff on beef cattle is 27
1-2 per cent. That is, a steer
worth $50on this side of the Can
udain border would cost $63.75 if
brought over from Canada.
Take the tariff off and Canada
could supply the entire coast
with all the meat il desired, and
without decreasing the profits of
the retailers. The duty on sheep
is $1.50 a head, and pork 2 cents
a pound. This tax is not needed
for revenue.
The labor unions and other or
ganizations in the United States
are denouncing the trust and call
ing upon congress to remove the
tax. The packers claim that the
high price of meat is not due to
the tariff or to a emtxnirarv
teied into by the combine to ad
vance prices, but to a scarcity of
cattle. Live stock statistics fur
nished by the stock yard authori
ties at Chicago show that this is
not true. Last week the receipts
of live stock at Chic 'g i exceeded
those of the previous week by 6,
000. The increase this year to
date over 1001 is 32,872 cattle,
369,296 hogs, 42,565 sheep. Two
of the most prominent commis
sion merchants at the Chicago
stock yards are authority for the
statement that cattle on the
northwestern ranges ate more
plentiful than they have been for
many years. “In Montana and
IIIU LWU L/(inWUI^, UK V
increase in the size of the herds
over last year is fully 20 or 25 pet'
cent.” Last year Montana sent to
Chicago 2,700 carloads of cattle,
South Dakota 4.088 and North
Dakota 1,581. This year is esti
mated that Montana will send
nearly 4,000 carloads, South Da
kota more than 5,COO and North
Dakota in proportion.
These men claim that on ac
count of the prosperous condi
tion of the country more people
are eating meat than heretofore,
consequently there is greater de
mand for such food, and on ac
count of the demand the prices
tun high. If this lie true, thee
is all the more reason for the re
moval ot the Dingley duties on
beef and other meats that the
supply may be increased.
If the government is being run
in the inteiest ot the packers, the
j tariff on meat should be increas
ed. If in the interest of the peo
ple it should he abolished.

LADY FOR CONGRESS
.—
KENTUCKY YOUNG LADY HAS
POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS
Has Secured Prohibitionist Nomi
nation and is Making a
House to House Can
vass of I )istriet
I _
Kentucky has given the country
a good deal of spectacular politics
of late, ami she does not seem to
l*e tiring of the effort. Her lat
ent attraction is a woman candi
date for congress. This lady’s
name is Miss Mary Burkhart of
Lane. Wolfe county, who has
announced herself for congress
*n the Prohibition ticket in the
lenth district, and who proposes
making a house to house canvass,
and declares that she will defeat
all coiners by a lug vote. If re
gistration papers can be obtained
as easily as they are supposed to
he in some places there will lie a
rush of young men, and not a few
of those who are somewhat gnz
zlcd, into the Tenth distiict to
vote for Miss Mary. She posses
es everything that attracts. She
is 26 years old, and is an attiac
tive brunette. She is certainly
heait whole and possibly fancy
free, and any unmarried man who
would not vote for an attractive
brunette 26 years old should bo
denied the ballot for and during
the term of his natural life and
compelled to carry a sack of sand
uphillon every election day. Miss
Mary has other attractions be
sides those of mind, and heart,
and person. She has two most
attractive figures. The ilogai
thian lines ot her beautifully
rounded form as they reveal
• • i »
ting gowns are positively ravish
ing. She possesses in her own
right $100,000 in cash, which is a
I figure hut very little less attrac
tive to (piiie a number of people
because there are mean, oierceti'
a 1 y men in the world who can not
help being sordid and who cannot
i i^c to the plane of being soulful.
Miss Mary de< lares that there is
no law to prevent her from tak
ing a seat in congress if she re
ceives a majority of the votes
east. Without boasting unusual
gallantry, we here solemnly adinn
, that if she i» elected we will do
all in our power to see that she
gets as many seats as were ever
occupied'by .(distinguished Tenn
essee congressman She will
have all the seats si® wants, and
as long as she wants them. She
is a woman cf spirit, and declares
I that she w ill defy congress to un
seat her. We heartily join in the
deli. The days of chivalry have
not gone by. Should the sacrile
| gious hand of a sergeaut-at-arms
lie laid upon her in an attempt to
remove her from her seat, or
! should Speaker Henderson dare
, to question her l ight to remain as
long as her sweet will willed it,
our 00,000 soldiers would return
from the Philippines and 00,000
swmds would leap from their
scabbards for her defense' Miss
: Mary's platform is the Golden
Rule with a Prohibition plank
thrown in, and any one that de
mands more than this is a glutton
who should be put a diet of bread
and water.—Commercial Appeal.
Railroad Wreck.
Eureka Springs, April 28.—The
most serious wreck in the history
of the St. Louis and North Arkan
sas railroad, and the only one of
any consequence in fifteen years,
occurred near the cast entrance of

at 8 o'clock this morning. Of ten
passengers and employes riding iu
a freight caboose, which w as over
turned, nine were more or less
hurt, and Hon. II. N. Pittman
probate judge of this county, re
siding at Berry ville, was seriously
injured.
