Bird Sounds.
The nightingale our ears would
win,
The lark sings in the glen;
But there’s more music these
days in
The cackle of the hen.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Bird sounds are pleasant to the
ear,
Could one wish better luck
Than sitting by the fire to hear j
The sizzle of a duck.
Youngston Telegram.
Bird sounds ai'e pleasant to the
ear,
But I’d not give a carrot
To hear the sweetest sound ere
made
By any doggone parrot.
Houston Post.
Bird sounds are pleasant to the
ear,
But of these we do not boast;
High cost of living is no song;
Give us goose or quail on toast
Searcy Citizen.
Dead.
Breathes there a man with a soul i
so dead
Who never to himself has said:
“My trade of late is getting bad,
I’ll try another eight-inch ad.”
If such there be go mark him
well;
For him. no bank account will I
swell,
No angels watch the golden
stair
To welcome home the million
aire.
The man who never asks for
trade
By local line or ad displayed.
Cares more for rest than world
ly gain,
And patronage but gives sim
pain.
Tread lightly friends; let no
rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him live in calm re
pose,
Unsought except by men he
owes,
And when he dies, go plant him
deep,
j That naught may break his
slumbers dep,

The Going Law.
A great ado about nothing is
the excitement said to be raging
over the alleged theft of a letter
from Attorney General Moose
expressing the opinion that the
Going law is unconstitutional.
The opinion of the attorney
general on this point, whether
official, counts for nothing in
this matter. The opinion of any
lawyer or layman, for the mat
ter of that, would count for as
much.
A candid opinion of any un
biased lawyer, we believe, would
sustain the reputed opinion of
the attorney general and of
most laymen, wrho form their
judgment of such things on the
broad ground of justice and the
principles of democracy, that the
Going law' is as full of holes as a
Swiss cheese. They feel that
the law, in several respects, vio
lates cardinal and fundamental
principles of the constitution.
But opinions, whether of the at
torney general, of lawyers or of
laymen are without value as a
matter affecting the status of
the law. The highest court in
the state—perhaps the highest
in the nation, must pass upon
the vital questions of constitu
tionality involved.—Fort Smith
Times-Record.
Artful Dodging.
Attorney General Moose has
paved the way for much criti
cism in regard to his opinion
that the Going bill is unconstitu
tional. He claims that while he
rendered such a decision, yet he
did not want it made public un
til after the many petitions now
before the county courts, were
disposed of, and that he gave his
word to that effect to several
lawyers and prohibition leaders.
If the act is unconstitutional, as
he claims it is, why should he
wait until the petitions before
the various county judges were
disposed of, or why should the
petitions be necessary at all if
the act is not constitutionally
law ? Why should he be induced
to keep his decision a secret?
The people were entitled to his
opinion, and it should have been
given to the public no matter
which side it favored, and then
the supreme court should have
passed upon the merits of the
bill. If it is a law it should be
enforced and if not it’s uncon
stitutionally should not be hid
under a bushel and the various
counties affected by it embroil
ed in political war. There is no
thing to gain by such a proce
| dure, while the confidence of the
'Public in the attorney general
Jias been given a severe jolt.—
; Jonesboro Tribune.

WISHED SHE
COULD DIE
And Be Free From Her Troubles,
bat Finds Better Way.
Columbia, Tenn.—"Many a time,’*
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place.
“1 wished I would die and be relieved
of my suffering, from womanly troubles.
I could not get up, without pulline at
something to help me, and stayed in oed
most of the time, 1 could not do.my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and I would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally. 1
took Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
am not bothered with pains any more,
and 1 don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
I am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the wora-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.
At all druggists.
