ELECTRIC LINE WORK.
The England Courier says:
“The proposed electric line from
Little Rock to England is again
being considered by the promot
ers, and we believe it will not be
long until work will begin on it.
The chief trouble heretofore has
been the difficulty in crossing the
river, but the company’s offer to
spend $50,000 in strengthening
the free bridge, and an additional
$5,000 yearly, for its use, will
probably be accepted by the peo
ple of Pulaski county; then if
that is done the line will be ex
tended to England.”

It is great because it has al

state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
election, etc.

about the World’s Fair, to be
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and

uie paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
of activity, and through the un

IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING. ]
Muy of the Old Custom* and Con
dition* Are Pa«*ing Entire
ly Away.
A generation ago to be an ideal house
keeper was the chief ambition of almost
every woman. No girl desired a fairer
fate than to be placed at the head of a
household with a good and loving hus
band to supply all her wants and make
her the mistress and the queen of his
heart and his home. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in theart under the tuition
of her mother. She loved to decorate and
beautify the house which was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
grimage. She loved to create delicacies
for her husband and her children, and,
disguise it as we may, much of the af
fection she received was due entirely to
her skill as a homemaker. When her
children grew up around her this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief at tractions in their world.
As they grew older the ties only grew the
stronger. When they acquired families
of their own the old homestead, with
Its abundance of good things, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
mother wras still their best friend. Sha
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
worth more to them than gold. The
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally went away from the home
circle she left a vacancy which could
never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that women have been
emancipated; that in the future they are
to be the rival, instead of the helpmate,
of man. and that they must combine to
enforce their just demands against the
hostility of the male sex. This is non
sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women in
this generation than there were In the
last. It Is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popula
tion has been forced to be self-support
ing, but it is not true that women enjoy
the so-called "liberty” which goes with
tolling for a living.
The home instinct is too deeply
planted in the heart of women to be re
moved by the effects of a generation of
club work. It will never be removed. A
few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
find her highest ideal of happiness in
a good husband and a cozy home. The
clubs may succeed in making such homes
Impossible to a few men and women by
making the voune wnm^/M-l that they
wuricrTnan tne prosaic duty of home
making, but among the masses of the
American people the mother will con
tinue to be the bond which unites the
unities of that holy institution the fam
ily, and she will continue in this exalted
role until the end of all things.
WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
She Was Happy and Yet There Was
an Awful Possibility Op
pressing Her.
"Darling,” he said, as he placed hia
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
Times, “why those pearly tears? Ie the ;
home that I have brought you to lesa
magnificent than you expected?”
"Oh, n-no," she sobbed. "It is g-grand
ar than I dared to h-hope.”
"Have you found since our marriage
that I am less exalted than you had sup
posed me to be?"
"Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousand '
times more exalt-t-ted than I thought
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away twa
large tears that were trembling upon her !
lang, graceful lashes, and asked:
"Has It grieved you to be taken from
your parents and the scenes of your
childhood, little one."
"No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied.
"I would g-gladly go anywhere w-with
you.”
"Great heavens!" he cried. In wild
alarm. “Perhaps you are 111. Tell me.
Is it so, sweetheart?"
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst
of tears, “it is not that."
A. look of deep perplexity overspread
his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he could look down into
her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, he
asked:
“Then, what In the dickens is the
trouble?”
“I was j-just think-thinking,” she re
lumed, “how miserable I should be if
r'ou were to die and I w-were to marry
i-some one who wouldn’t appreciate all 1
.his magnificence.”
