* THE PRODIGAL GIRL.

4 -
^ Sweet poets have sung of the beauties of home,
Ik Its comforts, its love, and its joy;
' How back to the peace of its sheltering dome
▼ Is welcomed the prodigal boy.
4
^ They picture his father with pardoning smile,
And glittering robes to unfurl;
v But none of the poets have thought it worth while,
4 To sing of the prodigal girl.
4
^ The prodigal son can resume his old place
^ / s leader of fashion’s mad whirl,
I With never a hint of his former disgrace—
▼ Not so for the prodigal girl.
4
^ *The girl may come back to the home she has left,
A But nothing is ever the same;
The shadows still linger , o’er dear ones bereft,
4 ' Society scoffs at her name.
4
a Perhaps that is why, when the prodigal girl
Gets lost on life’s devious track,
▼ She thinks of the lips that will scornfully curl
4 And hasn’t the heart to come back.
4
4 Yes, welcome the prodigal son to his place;
v Be merciful, graceful, and just;
^ But shut not the door in his frail sister’s face,
' Remember she, too, is but dust.

Tuckerman Department
Hon. Ben L. Griffin, of Little Rock,
formerly a prominent state politi
cian, was looking after business mat
ters here last Friday.
I. N. Greenhaw arrived here last
Thursday from Conway, where he
had been residing during the past
few months. He came to arrange for
the family’s return, as they expect to
make Tuekerman their home again.
Charles S. Smith, whose home is
near Hickory Grove, came in last
week from Norfolk, Va., where he has
been serving Uncle Sam in the aero
department of the navy. He is visit
ing his sister, Mrs. W. M. Shaver,
here, and other relattives in different
parts of the county. It is his first
trip home since he entered the ser
vice as a volunteer last December.
Since entering the service he has
been on duty at Pensacola, Florida,
and Norfolk, Va., as assisttant me
chanic and works on the sea planes.
They are very unlike those used on
land. They are so constructed that
they wdll float on the water like a
boat and can rise from the water at
will. As yet he has not been per
mitted to fly but has recently com
pleted the course which gave him
promotion and he is now in the class
that actually drives the planes. He
expects to assume his new duties
when he returns after his twenty-five
day furlough shall have expired.
Mrs. M. L. Hurley, of Newport, has
been visiting at the home of her son,
R. L. Hurley, on the west side during
the past few days.
W. M. Shaver and family visited
at the home of James Jackson, in
; Jefferson township, last Sunday.
The dry weather continues un
abated in this section. No seasonale
rain has fallen since sometime in
May. Vegetation'of all kinds is suf
fering from a lack of moisture. The
corn crop in this section is almost a
complete failure. The early corn is
already past redemption and the late
crop is in a fair way to failure. Gar
dens are burnt up but vegetables are
available at present. The hay crop
; promises to be very light. Cotton
which is the principal crop of this
secton has not been injured as yet by
the dry weather. The real cool nights
! of the past week or so have not been
good for its development. Should
! sufficient moisture prevail within the
next week or so there may yet be a
bumper cotton crop in this section.
T^ie plant is well formed, and has
been worked well and has been en
tirely cleaned of weeds and grass.
Man^ owners of stock are finding it
difficult to water them because the
; natural watering places are all dry
and other means of supplying drink
I ing water have to be resorted to.
I Pasturage for stock is also becoming
! scarce and as a result some of the
surplus stock of the community have
I recently been shipped to the St. Louis
J markets. (Since the foregoing was
! sent in, a rain has fallen which, it is
| believed, will greatly revive crops of
all kinds.—Editor.)

ESKIMOS ARE HAFPY PEOPLE
Have No Fear of Death, Are Childlike
in Nature, Humorous and
Inquisitive.
In Ilerschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer, the Eskimos had a sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety. They had an idea that when
the sun came back its movements
were directed by an invisible power,
but they had no tangible conception of
a God. They had no belief in a future
life, either of reward or punishment
Today they are religious, truthful, kind
to their children and to the aged. They
are ambitious to learn; they are prac
tical, extremely industrious, sanitary
in their habits, weli clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu
berculosis is quite common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and Ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools, if broken, are
neatly repaired. When at Herschel
island or Fort McPherson they eat the
white man’s foqd with great relish. In
summer they eat their fish and blubber
ruw and in winter frozen.
The Eskimos have no fear of death;
if told that death is approaching they
will respond with a complacent smile.
They are a very happy people. Their
natures are childlike and they do not
continue in the same frame of mind
for two minutes at a time. They are
good-natured and humorous and very
inquisitive. Their emotions are sud
den and short-lived—uproariously hap
py one moment and almost crying the
next.
SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Faits Developed in Scien
tific Study of Habits
of Fish.
The speed at which fish can swim
is summarized by the Scientific Amer
ican from recent studies as follows:
“A Belgian authority, G. Denil, while
studying fishways, concluded that sal
mon could swim at a speed of 3.15 me
ters a second for at least 14 meters.
A Canadian, G. P. Napier, from inves
tigations in the Frazer river, expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which a sockeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
tance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, II. von Bayer of the
United States bureau of Isherles de
clared that the velocity ol the current
in fishways should net eten fee*
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently, are substan
tially in agreement. From his own
studies on fishways in Massachusetts
Emerson Stringham found that a com
mon species of alewife could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet a second, about the
limit for fishways.”
Get Out of the Rut.
Have you ever stopped to consider
how much like a machine you are be
coming?
True, your daily duties are perform
ed in a way which seems to suit the
boss, but you jog on in the same old
way, day in and day out, with move
ments purely mechanical.
How long do you figure that you cat
continue to make good by this course?
Ever think of changing the methods
used by you for1 the past several
years, and which lifted you out of the
ranks of the ordinary at* the time you
adopted them, but which are passe at
the present time?
Oh, you are becoming too prosaic.
There is not enough variety in your
life.
Seek outdoor exercise; you need it,
and you should mingle with men of
up-to-date ideas; you should visit oth
er establishments in your line of work
and see how things -are being done
there.
You are in a rut.
Get out before it is too late.
Every-Day Courage.
The courage of the rush forward, a
moment of high purpose born of a
sudden impulse, that is one sort. Then
there is the stick-to-lt courage, and
that is of great value. Still an
other is the simple resolution to do
the obvious right and best thing at the
moment, without demur or timid de
lay, and that is the most important
of all.
The quiet courage of every day,
that does its best hour by hour, and
accepts as part of the day’s work
the losses and penalties that the
steadfast doing right must often
bring—this is the highest courage of
all. It wins no medals, it is never
lauded as heroism, even its posses
sors seldom think of it as bravery
or fortitude, yet it is the quality which
keeps the moral world from defeat,
and makes the common life of the com
mon people strong and safe.
Japanese Village.
Few people realize that in the United
States there is a village composed en
tirely of Japanese, who live their lives
just as they did before leaving the
Flowery Kingdom. This quaint spot
of interest is north of the long pier,
a mile from Santa Monica. Here is
the home of a number of Japanese
fishermen. Their native dress, food
and the daily routine o£ their lives are
carried out as though the little vil
lage were on the far shore of Nippon.
1 Sundays are to be seen the native
sports of the Japanese. The geisha
girls serve tea and bonbons to visit
ors, while the young men display their
prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
other oriental pastimes.
