The world is so big you can't do
much for it. but you can make quite
an impression for yourself.
A woman can pick up a hotter
plate than a man, but when it
comes to picking up dollars, men
seem to have the best of it.
A young man may have many
friends, but he will find none sc
steadfast, so constant, so ready to
respond to his wants, so capable of
pushing him ahead, as a little
leather covered book with the name
of a bank on the cover. Saving is
the first great principle of all suc
cess. _
Don't get too familiar with your
friends. It is dangerous procedure
and while you may not think mucf
about it yourself, the little daily
familiarities you throw out are dis
tasteful to the other party to the
contract. A friend in need is a
friend indeed, but you need not ex
pect that friend to slobber arounc
over you while your credit is good
at some other fellow’s bank.
GENERAL GAME LAW NEEDED.
Ordinarily the people of Arkan
sas are hard to arouse, but once
awakened they may be trusted to
right serious wrongs. It is well
that the future of our state rests
secure upon such a solid founda
tion as the profound sense of jus
tice and right posseses by our peo
ple.
A great wrong has been and is
being done to our wild life: the
property of the people and by the
state held in trust. It is threat
ened with extermination. Every
one should awaken to this danger
at once.
It is the duty of our people to
demand of the present session of
our Legislature the repeal of all
existing county laws relative to the
protection of wild life and the pass
ing of a suitable state law which
will give protection in reality and
not in name only. Each reader of
this paDer should constitute him
self a committee of one to call on
his friends and start a petition to
be sent to our Senator and Repre
sentative. demanding their atten
tion to this much-needed law.
Do you. good reader, realize that
the United States Department of
Agriculture, by careful investiga
tion, has determined that the de
struction of our farm crops in the
United States by insects during the
/ear 1910 amounted to the enor
mous sum of $420,000,000: that
more than $20,050.000 of this
loss was caused by the cotton boll
weevil: that this loss is growing
yearly, and that the spread of the
boll weevil is due to the destruction
of birds that feed on insects?
Do you realize that three coun
ties in our state allow the exporta
tion of birds, which means that
birds and game are legally shipped
to ail parts of the country from
Arkansas for sale in enormous
quantities, while it is illegal to buy
a bird or piece of game at your
home?
All of this can be remedied by
demanding of our assemblymen
the passage of sane state conserv
ative laws for the protection of,
wild life, and the creating of a
conservation commission to see
that thes: state laws are et,forced.

An attempt is to be made shortly
oefore the supreme court to secure
a decision that will allow mer
chants to sell all goods -even pat
ented and other specialties at
whatever prices they choose. At
present many manufactures fix the
prices at which their products are
to be retailed and if merchants cut
these prices in any case they are
black-listed and are thereafter un
able to secure more goods of the
same kind.

KINDLY OLD BAVARIAN RULER
_
Ample Reasons Why Duke Max Was
Popular Within and Without
His Dominions.
—
Duke Max of Bavaria had no greater
delight Ilian leaning over the counter
of some small shopkeeper, talking gos
sip or purchasing toys for his great
granddaughters in Austria. Innumer
able stories are told illustrating his
character. R. H. Goldschmidt, a
wealthy banker of Frankfort, was once
journeying to Vienna. Opposite him
on the velvet cushion of the first class
car sat an old gentleman, whose dress
and looks betrayed no uncommon
rank. "Are you on a pleasure trip?"
asked the banker’s vis-a-vis. "Yes,”
answered the latter, "I am going to
visit my daughter, who, thank God, '
fortunately married the Banker Wie
ner in Vienna.” "How strange,” re ;
plied his companion; "the incentive
to my trip is the same. I am going
to visit my daughter in Vienna. Thank
God; she, too, is rather fortunately
married to the emperor of Austria.”
The duke’s pocket book was open
to all. Many a poor creature in that
Catholic city told off beads for “good
Duke Max,” and blessed his name.
A disciple of old Baltazarina. whose
art had once charged the ballet lov
ers of music, having grown old in her
profession, was unable to get employ
ment. In despair she wrote to Duke
Max, giving an account of her situa
tion. His secretary handed him the
letter with the remark: "She deserves
nothing; she has lived a fast life.”
’Then,” answered Ids highness, "she
will miss her former splendor so much
the more,” and, sitting down, he wrote
her a letter, enclosing money, and
signed "From an admirer of your art.”
—The Argonaut.
ONE THING RIGIDLY BARRED
Seemingly Small Point That Threat
ened to Disturb Etiquette of
Royal Procession.
“There is just one thing the law
abiding citizen may not do when
watching a royal procession in Lon
don. and my wife, through attempting
to do it, mighty soon found out what
it is,” said the traveler. "There was
a marrow-piercing wind to chill us
and icy slush lay thick on the pave
ments that day we stood to see the
king go by. After teetering around
for a few minutes in a vain endeavor
to keei> her feet warm my wife folded
a newspaper and stood on that. The
policeman at her side looked' on in
kindly disapproval.
“ 'Mustn’t do that.’ he said.
"Of course she asked, ‘Why not?’
“'Looks bad.’ said he. 'If you was
back in the cro%vd it wouldn’t make so
much difference, but right in the front
row it’s against the rules to^ throw a
! scrap of paper on the ground.*
“My wife glanced at the long line of
muddy shoes of all colors, sizes and
conditions, and wondered how one edge
of white paper could damage the dis
play, but the policeman’s tone pre
cluded argument, so she picked up the
paper.”
Made Up in Quantity.
An old colored woman, who had
grown gray and bent in the service
of the family who had raised her from
childhood, was not gifted with an
overabundance of gray matter, and
her mistakes and queer ideas fur
nished much amusement to those
about her.
One day a Yorkshire pudding that
she had made for dinner did not seem
quite as it should be, and the mis
tress called Eunice and said: "What
is the matter with the pudding.
Eunice; did you make it in the usual
way?”
“Yesm’m,” said Eunice.
“How many eggs did you put in
it?”
“Six.”
"Six!” exclaimed the mistress;
"why, the recipe only calls for four!”
"Yesm'm, I know,” said Eunice;
“but they weren’t very good, so I
put in more of ’em.”
Things Fish Can See.
It is doubtful if fish can distinguish
forms outside the water, but they un
questionably can see moving objects
at considerable distance. Their in
stinct teaches them to flee from
strange moving things and from shad
ows thrown on the water by persons
moving along the waterside or by
birds flying over. The proof that they
cannot see the outlines of forms suf
ficiently well to distinguish between
animate and Inanimate objects, is that
they will show no more fear of an
angler standing perfectly still in the
water, than they will of a tree or other
harmless object. That their sight is
keen in the water is evidenced by the
fact that game fishes, that prey on
their fellows, do much of their feeding
at night, pursuing and capturing min
nows and other small fish In deep,
dark holes.
Healtn Day.
If Christmas, Thanksgiving and 50
Sundays lie set apart for religious and
moral instruction and rest; if Febru
ary 12 and 22, May :!0 and July 4 be
given to patriotic utterances an l com
memorating great citizenship, and if
the first Monday in September be des
ignated for considering the labor
cause, why not. a “health day”—why
not a day given entirely to spreading
information and to focusing thought
upon such an important element in
both happiness and efficiency as pub
ic health? So thought Dr. Klien A.
SVa.iace, state superintendent of the
department of health and heredity
of the New Hampshire Woman's fern- i
perance union, who initiated a "health
day” movement in New Hampshire; so i
thought Gov. Robert P. B iss, who gave !
his official approval.
The health day plan met with quick '
and favorable response, Besides the !
general co-operation of local teini>er- \
ance unions throughout the state, the !
Red Cross, A merit an Medical assoeia ‘
yon educational committee the i
■lunge, state board of health, the pub
lie schoo’s, the churches and the news

The Survey.
Literary Tailors.
One does not look for literary men
among tailors, but none the les- th»
profession can claim some Illustrious
names. John Stow, the antiquary and
author of the “Survey of London." for
instance, begun life at a tailor, and an
other famous tailoring antiquary was
John Speed, one of our early map
makers and member of the Society of
Antiquaries.
And then there was Robert Hill,
“the learned tailor" of Birmingham,
who contrived to teach himself Greek
and Hebrew and became famous as a
writer of theological treatises. And
George Meredith was born over the
tailor’s shop.
