The Station Agent.
Have you ever sat and waited
■Jor a railroad train belated, have
you hung around the depot half
a day ? Then ydb’ve marked the
angry pageant marching around
the station agent and have ceas
ed to wonder greatly why he
is gray.
AJ1 the rubes line up before
hint, and implore him, and they
ask him the same old thing a
million times, and the agent.
still politely gives the informa
tion rightly, in an effort to de
serve his meagre dimes. Forty
million tinges he answers all
the snorters and the prancers,
and he never groans or whimp
ers over his task; there are fat
and fussy strangers, there are
-sour bewhiskered rangers, and
they all have silly questions to
ask.
There are women with their
babies, there are gents who have
the rabies, and they gather round
the agent in a ring; there are
jays of all descriptons throwing
what they call conniptions and
they all have fool conundrum!?
they would spring. And the a
gent answers patiently and sane
ly—I admire the station agent
for his pluck. In his place I’d
rise in dudgeon, seize the near
est wet elm bludgeon and among
the question springers run a
muck.—Walt Mason.
Thanks.
I wish to thank my friends of
Jackson county for their sup
port in the recent primary, and
T assure each and every one that
tueir suport is appreciated,

Important.
“Yes, I have been solicited to
stay in Jackson county for fur
ther examination in Hook Worm
Infecton.” This in response to
a question from an Independent
man to Dr. T. A. Bradford, a
State Health officer who has been
making a systematic canvass of
Jackson county.
“I will be pleased to have the
doctors and others who are in
trusted in bringing these sub
jects to treatment to take espec
ial pains to call attention to the
fact that during April I will re
examine those who have been
found infected and treated,
that it may be determined if the
infection has been relieved—this
is very important to all.
“Too, I will be pleased to have
as wide publicity given the peo

examinations as before.
“Yes, the doctors are very
much interested in this great
work and have assisted me most
cordially and faithfully.
“Your county health officer,
Dr. E. L. Watson and County
Judge C. B. Coe deserve the
highest praise for faithful and
untiring work to benefit the peo
ple of Jackson County.”
“Jackson county does not
show as high infection as some
other counties,” but says the
doctor, “the interest in public
health is as great as in any coun
ty in the state.”
“Arkansas Betterment Clubs”
have been arranged in many
places in the county to carry for
ward the work of disease pre
vention during the coming
months of hot weather. Their
! slogan is “GOOD HEALTH—
GOOD ROADS AND HAPPI
NESS.”

LEFT young mother gasping
Mrs. O’Leary’s Well-Meant Words of
Compassion Contained a Meaning
That Shocked.
There are still two opinions con
cerning red hair. She was a very
proud young mother. All the old mas
ters had never painted such a bam
bino, had never imagined such a cher
ub as hers. Quite simply she be
lieved it. And the baby’s hair was red.
It did not occur to her that red hair
was anything but completely and who!
!y admirable. The little shining cop
per colored head seemed to her the
sum of all that was radiant and love
ly
‘Tve come for the baby’s wash,
ma'am.”
It was Mrs. O'Leary, the washer
woman,—a rawboned, dejected soul—
who spoke. Evidently there was for
her no inexpressible glory shining
amid the blue and white draperies of
a bassinet. How hard the world was
on some women! So thought the
young mother and proudly drew back
the cover from the baby’s nest.
“Come and look at my little daugh
ter,” she said. ‘ See, she has red
hair.”
A flash of some strong feeling—
could it be compassion?—illumined
the dejected features of Mrs. O’Leary.
The proud young mother felt her
hand gripped in a grasp of iron, and
a warm Irish voice sounded in her
ears.
"There, there,” it said soothingly.
"Don't you fret. Don’t you fret. You
can't never tell what they look like
when they’re small. Some of ’em
grows up into real good lookin’ girls.
They do that!”
LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS
8ome Truth in Assertion That Pres
ent Generation Considers Too
Many "Wants” as “Needs.”
A woman who has been observing
people and things has come to the
conclusion that the expense of living
today is largely due to individual in
dulgence. People want so much
more than they formerly did, or at
any rate, If they wanted it before
they often did without it, for expo
dlency’s sake; but now, she says, tc
want and to have go hand in hand
without regard for expediency. This
woman says: “My idea of the wide
spread complaint of the high cost ol
living is that people are not temper
ate in supplying their three principal
wants, namely; food, clothing and
shelter. Some people cut down on
food and shelter and spend an over
abundance on clothing. Others in
dulge themselves In rich foods thal
are absolutely unnecessary. Still
others like to live in fashionable
quarters and neglect their food and
Shelter. A person to be happy must
preserve a balance in all things. One
must be temperate with regard tc
food, clothing and shelter. Live In i
respectable but not ultra-fashionable
neighborhood; wear standard clothea
not the latest Paris fashions; eal
good, substantial food, not rich, tast]
delicacies that cater only to the pal
ate, is my parting advice.”
Yea, She Probably Would.
"Does anybody ever kick you ia
the nose?” said the ass.
“Aye, does there,” said the spider;
“you and your like that are always
walking on me, or lying down on me,
or inning over me.”
** ell. why don't you stay on the
wall?” said the ass.
“Sure, my wife ia there,” replied the
spider.
"What's the harm in that?” said
the ass.
“She’d eat me,” said the spider.
"Have you got a wife yourself nowt”
"I have not," said the ass. ‘T wish I
had."
“That's a bachelor’s talk,” Bald the
spider; “all the same, we can't keep
away from them.”
“If your wife was an ass she
wouldn’t nat you,” Bald the ass.
"She’d be doing something else,
then,” replied the spider.—From
James Stephens "The Crock oC Gold."
That Vacant Chair.
Perhaps it is more sad when a chair
la vacant in life »h»n In death. Men
make a feast. Many who might belong
at the table are not there. Death has
not claimed them. What the world
votes to be failures has kept them
away. In the race as it is run they are
the laggards. Perhaps, in our reckon
ing they will never win. Had you
noticed how iu tht next generation
their children almost always arrive?
The poor man's son !g the rich man
of tomorrow and the children of "fail
ures" are the country’s future success
es. There is an etb and flow of for
tune which must ~urely reconcile us
all to the rhythm of being. Who dares
estimate life by a clngle generation?

Story of Hohenzollern Ghost.
It was a Prussian royal wedding of
tour centuries ago that gave to the
tradition of the “white lady," the fa
mous Hohenzollern ghost. The Bur
grave Albert loved a young widow of
the house of Orlamunde, but once
thoughtlessly remarked that their wed
ding would be “impossible until four
eyes are out of the way.” He allured
to his uncle and brother, but she
thought he meant her two little chil
dren, whom she accordingly murdered
with a knitting needle. The horrified
Albert forsook hei and married So
phia of Heaueberg, whereupon the ern
log widow, went mad, died and ever
■h»ce has haunted the royal palaoee
mourning «wb with a tfhitd veU.
1 Villa Wins Desperate Battle.
j Constitutional Headquarters,
above Torreon, March 26.—Gen
| eral Villa and higj rebel army, af
! ter four days of almost incessant
fighting, during which victory
! seemed first with one side and
then with the other, occupied
l Gomez Palacio today,
j Losses on both sides have been
heavy.
The rebels delivered three as
saults before permanent success
was achieved and at times the
battle extended into the leading
streets of Torreon proper.
Villa predicts that he will have
the latter city by Saturday or
Sunday.
A pitiable incident of the bat
tle was the disabled wounded
crying for water, the lack of
which was as deadly as bullets.
The meagre hospital corps
consisted of a half dozen wagons
doing heroic work, but they
were unable to cope with the sit
uation. It was the first time in
recent Mexican revolutions that
the flag of the Red Cross has
been seen in a rebel army.
Garbed in a dusty, torn suit, a
slouch hat and a red handker
cruel tied about ms necK, as in
his bandit days, General Villa,
among the ragged, thirsty, half
famished soldiers who had
fought day and night for the
capture of the Torreon, was a
conspicuous figure. The conven
tional notion of a commanding
general directing a campaign
through a field glass and with a
map spread before him found no
illustration in Villa. Instead he
climbed over the rocky hills or
crept among the m'esquite bush
es.
Marry At Hazel Hotel.
Mr. George L. Green of this
city and Miss Minnie Lee Ver
dell of Jacksonport were married
in the parlors of the Hazel hotel
the first of the week, ’Squire J.
R. Loftin , Sr., officiating. The
marriage was witnessed by only
a few intimlate friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Green have been
in our^ city most of the week, but
will go to Newark tonight to
spend a few days with relatives.
The Independent joins their
many other friends in congratu
lations and best wishes.
To Open Jewelry Store,
j A. J. Frauenthal of Heber
Springs is in our city and will
open a new jewelry store in the
Hazel hotel building, formerly
occupied by Mayor Paul as an
office.
Mr. Frauenthal is one of the
substantial business men of He
ber Springs and has just return
ed from the St. Louis markets,
where he purchased a select line
of goods. The room he is to oc
cupy is being remodeled for his
use.
