DEATH OF THE ORIGINAL AR
KANSAS TRAVELLER"
Little Rock Gazett'

Yesterday afternoon our city was shock
ed over the news of the death of Col. Sandy
Faulkner, who died at his residence, on the
corner of Commerce and Fifth streets, at 3
o'clock, gastric feser.
II is well known throughout the South
west that Col. Faulkner was the original
personator of the Arkansas Traveller,
and il was his pride to be known as such.
The story. il is said. was founded on lit
tie incident which occurred in the cam
paign of 1910, when he made the tour OF
the State in company with the Hon. A. II.
Sewer, Gov. Fulton, Chester Ashley and
Gov. Yell. One day, in the Bos--
ton mountains, the party approached
A sduatter's for information OF
the route. aud Col. SANDY was made
spokesman of the company, and It was up
ON his witty responses the time and story
were founded. On the return TO Little
Rock a grand banquet was given IN the
famous ssbar-rOOm- which used to stand
near the Anthony House, and Col. SANDY
was called on to play the tune and tell the
story. AfLerward il grew in popularity
When he subsequently went to New Or
leans, the fame of the Arkansas Traveller
had gone before him, and at banquet amid
clinking glasses and brilliant tOasts, he was
handed a violin BY the then Governor OF
Louisiana. and requested to favor them
with the favorite Arkansas tune. At the
old St. Charles hotel a special room was
devoted to his Use, bearing in gilt letters
over the door Arkansas Traveller

HowsHETuENED PREsBYTERIAN.

Mrs. Magruder will probably leave DIR.
Hopkins church, and 90 hereafter 10 the
PRESBYTERIAN Westinghouse. DR.. Hopkins
last week had frightful boil on bis leg,
and he experienced very severe pain when
he tried TO walk. While he was sitting in
his study on Friday, Mrs. Maguder called
and was ushered into the parlOr. The
servant went up the back stairs 70 tell the
doctor. and while she was on the way the
doctor started 10 80 down the front stairs TO
oct a drink of water. IL hurt him so much
10 walk M the steps that he concluded 10
slide down the banisters on his stomach,
and so. after looking carefully over the
landing TO satisfy himself that no
bldy was about, he mounted the banister
and beran TO descend. The stairs run d.
rectly past the parlOr door, and Mrs
Magruder was amazed to see the clergy
man descending with great rapidity, and
| in that singular fashion. IL seems that the
| servant Girl had placed a coal scuttle by the
newel-pOst, while she went for the doctor,
| and. as he descended with awful velocity,
he aIighted in the scuttle and fell to the
! floor. Without being aware Of the pres
ence Of the visitor, he leaped up IN rage
| and exclaimihg: s.Hang that wOman. he
gave the scuttle a kick which sent 1t
i whirling into the parlor, where II brought
I'D in Mrs. Masruder's lap. OF course she
/ thought the demonstration and the ejacula-
ton was intended for her, and after rising
to her feet, and shaking her umbrella at
| her pastor. she shouted, sslf you kick an
| other coal scuttle at me, I'll punch the
| stuffin out of YOU with this yer umbrella
She emerged from the front door
with the conviction that Presbyteranlsm
was the only religion for her.

these places being resorts for nurses with
children. If mothers will allow some
friend. unknown 10 the servant, to
take a seat in either of the above
named places they viii soon see the
careless. reckless way in which they are
treated. Exposed TO the sun and scoldedi

Mothers will not be surprised at the tretful,

Three of these nurses, each with a car

last week from the Circle to the pump on
the corner of NJ and Thirteenth streets
where the girls got int6a quarrel with some
