THE magistrates office is place for study and investigation. During a lazy afternoon, the magistrate sits behind his long table and dores. A dog lies near the back door, and lounger lies on bench, asleep. You would think that the place could not be aroused to activity. but sud denly an officer comes in with man charged with stealing set of harness. The magistrate exhibits life. The man on the bench shuffies of the drowsy coil of sleep and gives the case his attention. Other people drop in and within ten min- utes from the time the prisoner arrives, the room is crowded. The man who can sit in magistrates office and listen to the evidence in harness case is not good for any other business.

Walking is vep good exercise and when well di- rec,ed is useful but as sport it is tamest and most annoying of any that has ye, found recognition among brainless Amer jeans. Walk! Why any man in good health can walk. if he hasn't anything to do. The professional pedestrian is a dull nuisance and should be compelled to carry bod.

LITTLE ROCK is becoming one of the mos, central places in the south. Its railroads are grea, arms of commerce and its streets are all tha, good nature and neglect can make them.
