SEARCY RELIEVED
THAT TRIAL IS ENDED.
Dr. P. A. Robertson of Searcy,
one of that town's best known
citizens, was in Little Rock Fri
day, says the Gazette, accompa
nied by his little son. When he
was greeted by his capital city
friends the. invariable inquiry
was, “How about the Lightle
Roberts case?”
“The citizens of Searcy feel
much relieved, now that the
grave violation charges against
Dr. Lightle and Roberts have
been disposed of,” said Dr. Rob
ertson. ‘ ‘The people of Searcy
were deeply interested in seeing
the law enforced in the interest
of the good name of the town.
They did not seek to persecute
any one nor to punish the inno
cent. Their anxiety was center
ed in removing, as far as possi
ble, the ill effects of the notorie
ty caused by the grave robbery
and insurance affair.
‘ ‘Fair and impartial trials have
been accorded, the juries have
said that the defendants are
guilty and the people of Searcy
and White county breathe easier
after the exciting events con
nected with the noted case.
“There can be no further
movement in the eases until Jan
uary, when the regular term of
* the White county circuit court
convenes at Searcy, the grand
jury meeting at the same time.
Lightle and Roberts are out on
bond, having appealed in the
grave violation eases. It will be
within the province of the grand
jury to take cognizance of other
phases of the Lightle case.”

tional and spectacular stage pres

XH2 WOMANLY WOMAN.
Scnllenna and Ar* tfc«
Chief Eltairnli \n Her
Edacatloa,
The big American banquet hall of
the Manhattan hotel waa crowded
with members of the Emma Willard
issoclation and their friends on the
occasion of the thirteenth annual ban
luet of the organization. Among the
speakers were Chancellor MacCracken,
Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey,
uid Miss Spence, reports the New
Fork Tribune, of recent date. “Hun
Ireds of young men and women,” said
14.ss Spence, “who have received their
eollege degrees are not really edu
cated. They are thoroughly Instruct
ed, and perhaps amply equipped from
t technical standpoint But education
means so much more than this. It
means individual development cul
ture, (fbferacter. In every walk In life,
to accomplish our purpose, we must
know clearly at the start what we
mean to do. If colleges and schools
would really succeed in turning out
educated men and women in the high
est sense of the word, they must first
define that term. It it to stand for
nothing more than instruction in facts
or other people’s ideas? Or is It to
Include soul culture, life broadening
and true development and efficiency?
To my mind mothers are largely re*
sponsible for a child’s (especially a
daughter's) aimless life. The sole de
sire of, alas! so many. Is that their
children shall have a good time while
they’re young. And this Is right
enough, but they should remember
that the good time of the butterfly Is
not necessarily the good time of the
girl, and that the true good time and
growth of character are not incompat
ible.
“True womanliness should be one of
the chief elements of a young wom
an’s education. The unpardonable sins
of womanhood are hardness and
coarseness, dearth of gentleness and
any guise of selfishness. A virtue that
should be earnestly cultivated by the
woman of to-day is a greater sincer
ity in the manners and customs of
anMatv TTiln is the contribution all
true women should make to the so
ciety of their time. Society needs gen
tle women In the true sense of that
word. Only that education is worth
while which stands for service to the
world—In some form, material or Im
material, and the latter Is often the
more real of the two. In fact, the
Ideal, whatever It be, Is t*ie real—
an oft said saying, but one as often
forgotten In the details of dally life.
“It Is the privilege and no less the
duty of every one who aspires to be
called an educator to ever hold up this
vision of the Ideal, ever ‘follow the
gleam—live the great revelation In
the details of daily life.**
AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of a M#»
Who Tries to Help Around
the House.
When a married man gets out of hi*
orbit, or off his half of the domestic
jarpet, so to speak, the consequence*
are always more or less disastrous to
him, says the Detroit Free Press.
“We’ve just moved,” said an unhap
py-looking man in a little neighbor
hood crowd of men who were buying
their evening cigars at a corner to
bacco shop. “Or, rather, we are ha’f
moved. Half our household truck ha»
gone over to the new place, and halt
Is still with us. Then I sold a lot, t«n
and got myself In awful hot water.
You know how it is when a man starts
out in his own house to do things
without asking his wife."
“Oh, yes; we know,” echoed all the
others.
“In our stable attic,” the man con
tinued, “we had a lot of old stufl
stored. I’ve heard my wife say a dozen
times that we must look it over and
sell a good deal of it the newt time we
moved To-day she was over to the
other house, and as I was kind of stand
ing round, not knowing where to take
hold next, along came a junk man
through the alley. I hailed him and
•nnk him nn in the stable attic: there
[ sold him an old table, an old high
chair, a battered old crib and a car
pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot.
I fouiffl a box of old battered brass trays,
plaques and picture frames after he waa
gone, and peddled those ofT at a nickel
apiece to some neighborhood children
who were tagging me around all day.
“Of course, a man never really knows
what he has sold until his wife tells
him; and to-morrow I’m to chase all
lay after that junk man. I’ve sold our
best parlor carpet, taken up when sum
mer came In, tny wife’s own highly
'jeasured Infant’s high chair and a
-,rib which was also her mother’s, and
a real mahogany table she had stored
away to have done over. She herself
had paid nine dollars for the old table,
and was glad to get it at that Old tar
bles are getting scarce, she says."
“How about the brass objects?” some
one asked.
“Oh, I’ve got to go around and buy
those back, too,” the man replied, sad
ly. “They were high-art beaten brass
nondescripts which my wife made her
self at the age of 13. and she says her
mother wouldn't part with them for
anything.”
Panned Oynttrt.
Place small squares of toast in a pan,
plaoe on each one as many oysters as can
be put on without crowding; season with
pepper and salt and a bit of butter and
cook covered in the oven until plump
and curled at the edges. Serve very hot
