You may talk of reformations, of tho Economic Plan,
That shall stem tho Social Kvll In Its Course;
But the Ancient Sin of nations, must be got at In the Man,
"If you' want to cleanse a river, seek the source.
Ever since his first beginning, Man has had his way, In lust.
Ho has nover learned tho law of Self-Control;
And the World condones his sinning, and the Doctors say ho must,
And the Churches shut their eyes, and take his toll.
And the lauded "Lovely Mothers," send thoir son out Into life
With no knowledge-welded armour for the fight;
"He will make his way like others, through the Oat-flold, to the
Wife;
Ho will somehow bo led onward, to the light."
Yes, his leaders, they shall find him. On the highways at each turn,
(Since you did not chooso to counsel or to warn),
They shall tempt him, then shall bind him; they shall blight, and
they shall burn,
Down to offspring and descendants yet unborn.
11 can never end through preaching; It can novur end through law8;
This social sore, no punishment can heal.
It must bo tho mother's teaching of the purposo and the cause,
And God's glory, lying under sex appeal.
She must feel no fear to name it to the children it has brought;
She must speak of it as sacred and sublime;
She must beautify, not abuse It, by her speech and by her thoughts,
Till they listen, and respect it, for all time.
From the heart they rested under ere they saw the light of day,
Must tho daughters and tho sons be taught this truth;
Till they think of It with wonder, as a holy thing alway;
While love's wisdom guides them Bafely through their youth.
Oh, tho world has mado its devil, and the Mothers let It grow;
And the Man has dragged their thoughts down to tho earth.
There will be no Social Evil, when each waking mind shall know
All tho grandeur and the beauty hid in birth.
When each Mother sets the fashion to win confidence and trust,
And to teach the mighty lesson, Self-Control,
Wo can lift the great Sox passion from the darkness and the dust
And enshrine it on the altar of tho soul.

Most People Arc Not So Eminent
Scientists Say.
Do not marry if you are nervous aud
iirituble. Do not marry if you ars
weak and despondent. Do not marry If
you snf?r from indigestion, constipa
tion, sleeplrssne or nny liver trouble.
More than half of the divorces and two
thirds of tbe failures in life can be
traced to indigeatlon and constipation,
for they are the parents of nervousness,
sleeplessness and general debility.
I believe my Taw Paw Pills are do
ing more to prevent domestic troubles
and financial failures, as well as bodtly
suffering, than any other medicine.
They might be called the Peacemakers.
'Iliey not onlr enable one to eat all
they want, but they coax the liver inlo
activity and carry off all the refuse
matter through the bowels pleasantly
and naturally.
My Paw Paw Pills are wholly wnhke
other laxatives or stomach remedies;
they build up instead of tearlog down.
Melancholy and Irritability rannot dwell

Childhood
draped with costly laco of cobweb fine
ness. There were diamonds In my tum
bled golden curls, and my cheeks were
scarlet, as were my scornful Hps. I had
eyes of midnight that wer'e- like flashing
stars when I was angry, and melted to
toft moons when I was pleased.
No one would ever have suspected any
of thepe" things who looked at me. 1 was I
to the ordinary eye Just a red-headed, I
hatchet-faced' little girl in short petticoats'
and my Spanish barb was Just a hitching '
rack In the hitching stalls back of the
old church but, pshaw, such people as i
that didn't see.
They didn't really see thnt she who rode
beside mo on tho next hitching rack wns
not the minister's daughter, but a lady
of high degree the Lady Pearl of Pearl
Island, where her estates lay. Her steed
was of Arab lineage a marc, brown as
a chestnut burr and she who rode her
was clad In blue saali looped and beaded
all over with priceless pearls.
The third rack In tho hitching stalls
back of the old church was an Arab
charger, white as the driven snow, with
eyes of flashing fire, and a mane like
, crinkled silver.
The rider of this glorious i-tceil was
yelept Isabel, proud and stately and
noble to an umazlng degree, and she
wore a . dress of shining white satin
looped and hung with 'deep hearted rubles,
and her long hair was pinned to the bot
torn of the train, each strand with a
cross of burning rubles.
All this we knew, we three who ran to
the old church every day when school
was out; to ail'others we were Just three
queer little girls, with nothing In par
ticular In the way of looks and no adorn
ment that to us was so real.
Madge, Pearl and Vsabel. we rode far.
far away in our bravo satin sparkling
with gems; far away Into that land of
dreamy glory that lies always Just out
side the door lh tho lives of happy chil
dren. I saw Ysabel, the haughty, the other
day; she was Just coming from school,
where she had been to see why her
youngest wasn't doing so well as lie might
in spelling.
Pearl, the princess, has just returned
from Kurope. She teaches Greek in a
big eastern college. I wonder If the
young ladlej ever realize that she is the
j'rincess Pearl. Sharp anxieties have
leached her heart In the passing year
anxieties she never dreamed of when
she donned her dress of satin leafed with
pearls and rode her Arab mare.
Deep sorrow has come to Vsabel I
saw that written m lior eyes the other
day, thougji she smiled and held her head
bravely. And Madge, she of the golden
curls wreathed In diamonds; she of tbe
eyes of midnight, with the crimson cheek
Hnd lily brow. Poor Madge. I'm afraid
those eye have been wet with some
scalding tears since she rode Spitfire.
But I'm glad we rode the Arab steed and
the Spanish barb; I'm glad we wore tho
gem-crusted robes of satin; I'm glad
our glorious eyes flashed and our proud
lips curled.
i m giaa. too, that the little boy wor
cn"PI to bed last night and slept,
with his beloved "rope" close In his hot
little hand. 1 know now that he who
looks like a round-faced type to me Is

she will win the election, but sho is going
to run, Jus.1 the sume, and the press nnd I
people have greeted her candidacy with

Five years ago even any woman who
presumed to think of herself us a possi

Today even the most conservative
newspaper opposed to woman KUffrage,
has admitted editorially that Mile.
Denlsard's candidacy was at least more
hopeful than that of one of her rival
candidates of the pi't'e sex who Is being
boomed by a French daily paper The
feminine portion of the press halls Mile
Denlsard's candidacy as prophetic of the
time when a woman will occupy the pres-

Why not? As Mr. Shaw saysr "You
never can tell."
At the present momont women are en

many people who
look to vaudeville
for their far.tr.
The truth Is, Arkansas has more
points to recommend it than any other
single state In the unolon. In potential
wealth Arkansas Is our all around rich
state. It produces everything that Is
produced anywhere In America. It has
climate and, Incidentally, it has weather.
I It has lovely scenery-mountains, prairies,
t noble rivers, sparkling streams, vast
forests and broad acres, which, when
tickled with a plough, laugh a .harvest,

The people who live In Arafcnasas are
a happy, generous, prosperous. Intelli
gent class. They average well. Ot
course, there are all kind of folks In
Atknunas, Just as there arc In Boston
and New York City. But tho Idea of

that they chew Inflnlto fobacco and can
expectorate with nccuravy at long dis
tance; that the women nil wear linsey
woolsey, chew snuff, and that the chil
dren are addicted to hookworm, Is a fal
lacy generated In oe peanut mind ot
the man who has never been there.
Arkansas is rich In mineral wealth.
Gold, silver, zinc, tin, Iron; aluminum.
are found here In workable quantities.
And strangest of all, Arkansas has a
diamond mlno that threatens to put Kim-
barley, South Africa, to the bad. And as
for Hot Springs, they have no duplicate
on tho American Continent. The waters
contain valuable medicinal qualities riot
to bo found anywhere else.
And so, then, a-baa la hookworm. tUsd,
a-boa la Ople nnd his partner In literary
crime, the budding Shakespeare who
inulcteered through Arkansas on his long
oared Pegasus! Iet the silence swallow
them both.
De Soto and his army were the first
white men to visit Hot Springs. In tlot
pprlngs Creek there ar.e remains of a
dam, evidently built by white mem and
It Is believed that this was the work of
De Soto. It was the first attempt to put
the Hot Springs on a sanitary ami
hygienic bhsls.
There Is a legend that Hot Sprjngs was
neutral ground for all Indian tribes. Here
even the enemies met. and were friends,
for tho time being at least. No war was
made upon the sick and the unfortunate
And the precedents still prevail, thanks
to the government of the United States.
Thomas Jefferson knew tho great secret
of mutuality nnd reciprocity. It's a little
queer that we can't write the history ot
the United States without quoting Thomas
Jefferson. Ho Is our one grat democrat,
and, happily, we aro .catching up with
him.
Arkansas was a part of the Louisiana
Purchase. Thomas Jefferson knew the
value of the Hot Springs, and In 1604 he
sent an exploring party to the springs to
make a map of the surrounding country
and report on the quality of tho waters,
arid to find out If there was anyone In
possession.
So to Thomas Jefferson we must
breathe- a prayer of gratitude for Hot
Springs, Ark. It was his desire that the
springs should not be polluted;, that this,
as the Indians, proclalmedl should be
neutral ground. It should belong to all
of the people all of the time.
In 1877 congress, recognizing the growth
ot HotkSprlngs, and remembering Jeffer
s6n's suggestion, created a commission
and took, over a thousand acres of prop
.ertv as a government reservation, dtspos-
lilg of all claimants by a liberal payment.
So Hot Springs Is now under the control
of the Department or the Interior,
