The Arkansas Gazette is correct
IN saving our road law was formed
at time when mutual help was IN
vogue such as opening up high
ways, rolling logs, house raising, etc.
---and as many portions of the State
have out grown the necessity for
such assistance, 1T is time to have a
change in the road Law. The man
without property and who has no
need for good roads, should not be
compelled to contribute ten days la
Dor, while the wealthy citizen is ex-
empted, by being over age or hold
ing some minor office, and who con
stantly uses the road and his prop
erty enhanced by the improvement
OF the public highways. The next
legislature should certainly make the
desired change.

Catarrll

Is very prevalent and exceedingly
disagreeablc disease, liable, If neg
lected, to develop into serious con
sumption. Being a constitutions
disease, it requires a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which, acting through the blood,
reaches every part of the system,
effecting a radical and permanent
cure OF catarrh in even its most se-
we're forms. Made only by G. l.

Judge Gary overruled the motion
for new trial in the anarchists
cases at Chicago and the condemned
men will hang. Their fate presents
view OF socialism robbed Of its ro
nance. Their glowing rhetoric and
brilliant appeals are stripped OF
their specious sophistry by the calm
light Of the law. 1t was plain muir
der and they will pay the penalty
There will be no more anarchy in
Chicago.

Incendiary, Indeed.

"Jeff Davis made very inccndia-
ry speech in Mississippi, recently.
He said the country was now at
peace and all should work together
tor the public good. AT the first
reading this doesn't really sound in
cendiary; but JEFF Davis said it, and
1t must therefore be something very
rebelIious and traitorous indeed. -

Russia and Bulgaria.

The prospect of an agreement be-
tween RUSSIA and Bulgaria seems to
be lessening. The fact that this is
so is an indication Of war tenden-
cy. The regency in Bulgaria would
hardly assume position so inde-
pendent as seems to be the case, un-
less backed up by advice and encour-
agement from larger powers. The
Russian consulate had published and
distributed through private agents
at public places in Sofia an inflam-
matory circular. Some of those en-
gagged in scattering these circulars
have been caught and beaten. Gen.
Kaulbars, the Russian consulate, has
by note protested against this to the
head of the Bulgarian regency, and
received cold comfort. The circular
declares that the time for words has
passed, and the ear can only be con-
vinced by acts, that Russia cannot
allow Bulgaria to try those who kid
mapped Alexander, nor allow Alex
ander and his family To return to
Bulgaria. The situation is greatly
strained and portentious. The pow
ers most interested against the move
ments Of Russia are England and
Austria, unless, perhaps, poor Tur-
key that can't help herself. The un-
known quantity Is Bismarck. How
his ''cat will jump" and exactly who
he wants no one yet knows. After
all there is a veil OF mysticism hang
ing over the diplomacy of the differ
ent powers involved that leaves
much doubt as to how they will fall
together and what will be the end.

A Sensational Duel.

That was sensational duel fought in
Paris in 1915, between the Bonapartist
Colonel Barber Dufal and a young Cap
tain of the Royal Guard. The two ad-
versaries were put into coach and
bound together so that only the right
arm of each was left free, and in each
right hand was placed long, keen dag
ger. Then the doors of the coach were
closed, and before being opened again
it was, according to the terms of the
duel, driven deliberately three times
around the Palace Carrousel. The sec
onds sat on the box. in the coachman's
place. When the doors were opened
the young Captain was found dead,
pierced by many deep wounds. Colonel
Dufal was in little better plight, having
received three terrible thrusts in the
breast, and his whole left cheek having
been torn off by the teeth of his adver-
sary. Nevertheless, the tough old
Colonel got we'll. and even before he
was quite cured, fought two more duels,
one with Colonel de St. Mo Us and the
other with General Montlegier, in each
case grsvely wounding his man and him
self escaping unharmed.

The House of HOhenzOllern.

It is not generally known that the
princely name of Hohenzollern, belong
ing to the reigning house of Prussia, is
derived from castle in the district OF
Sigmaringen, on the Zollerbcrg, an AL
pine height 5000 feet above the sea.
The remotest ancestor mentioned was
Count Thasvilo, who Aourishcd in the
eighth century; the family name was not
recorded until 300 years later. The
house was divided in the thirteenth CEN
tury into two branches, the Frankish
branch gaining new possessions steadily
and rapidly. Frederic V. was the first
to bear princely title, given him by
Emperor Charles w. Prince Leopold,
who was indirectly the cause OF the
Franco German war, is Hohenzollcrn.
He had married 1S35) the Infanta An
tonia, of Portugal, and the provisional gov
ernment of Spain proposed him to the
Cortes as q candidate for the throne.
France declared that his acceptance
would be detrimental to her in
terests. and demanded that the King
of Prussia should forbid it. This
was refused on the ground that
he had 10 right to give orders to q
prince of his house who was Of age.
Leopold voluntarily declined the candl,
dature afterward; but France declared
war, nevertheless, and, as everybody
knows, met with the most terrible and
humiliating defeat in the history OF that
nation.-NeU York. Commercial.

A Mexican POstOfflce.

The Mexican postoffice department is
a rather shaky concern in some respects,
but q lady correspondent of the Pitts.
burgh Dispatch. writing from the City OF
Mexico, says the officials take the belt
for courtesy, or words to that effect:
There never were as polite postoftice
officials as in the City of Mexico, l am
sure. When l first reached there, the
Postmaster General, who speaks little
English in such a fascinating manner,
told me he would give me lock box.
"No, senor," I replied, SITS too much
trouble to carry the key" Then,
scnorita," he answered, 1.-THE clerks shall
carry the key and you shall still have the
box.n So, for five months I used the
letter box, and at the end was told that
no pay would be accepted; they felt
honorcd because I used it, etc. MOI
could the head man outdo his clerks in
courtesies. With cap in hand the let
tiers were handed out. If overdue charges
were on them, they refused to accept
more. If the mail was light, or the train
had failed to make connections with f!
Paso, and in consequence we would be
out of mail one day, and would express
disappointment, they would feel sorry,
and their sympathy, so courteously eX'
pressed, would more than heal our dis
appointment, and make US think that we
could do without letters many days IN
order again to see those black eyes soften
and look all sorts of unutterable things.

Two Of Henry Clay's Stories.

Henry Clay. who was neat peDman,
was quite an enthusiast on the sub ject Of
plain handwriting, and was in the habit
of telling a story in point about Gin.
cinnati grocery man who wanted q lot OF
cranberries, and thought ne could get
them cheap in little Kentucky town.
To this end he wrote to a customer at the
place requesting him to send 100 bushels
of cranberries per Smmons-thc name OF
his teamster. The writing was so bad
that the rarty to whom the note was ad :
dressed could not make out the word
scranberriesn at all, but did conclude
that his correspondent wanted 100
bushels of persimmons, which were at
once gathered and forwarded, much 20
the disgust of the Cincinnati man. An
other of Mr.. Clay's stories was in regard
to an ineoriatcd Colonel, in full regi-
mentals, who insisted on riding on the
outside of the stage with the driver.
Presently he fell off into the mud, and
when he picked himself up the following
colo luy ensued:
"Wcll, driver, we had quite a (hic)
turn over.'
"No. we haven't turned over at all ;
you only fell off,"
Being assured by the passengers that
there had been no turn over the tipsy
Colonel exclaimed:
"Well, if I had (hic) known that /
wouldn't have got out."-Ben: Psrley

Amazing Speed Of the Pigeon.

The much belauded steam engine, the
motive powers of which have constantly
to be tended aud renewed, is but poor
contrivance by the side of the pigeon,
which, with his self-contained mechan-
ism, can not only travel at amazing
speed, but can ''stay" for an extraordi-
nary period. The performance of the
pigeons which lately flew from London
to Brussels is astounding. They were
loosed from their baskets, some 800 trav-
elers in all, at 1920 A. NJ, on Sunday,
and they completed the journey of 1SO
miles within minute of 4 o'clock, hav-
ing flown the distance in five hours and
forty one minutes-that is to say, they
went 800 half-miles in $40 minutes
more than mile in two minutes, and
this sustained for nearly six hours. 1t is
10 be assumed that they lost no distance
and that they went the shortest way to
Brussels; but it is reported that
they encountered severe storm
on their passage, and every man
who has battled against high
wind we'll understands what that means.
1t is obvious that in fair weather, to say
nothing of what might have been done
with favorable breeze. very much bet
ter time could have been made. AS it is,
the speed of these pigeons, kept up fer
1sO miles, is almost equal to the average
time in which the winner of the Derby
runs his race, and is superior to the time
which some few winners have made; it
is indeed, almost e iual to the best record
of racehorSe over a mile, that record
being about one minute and forty-two
seconds; for no one now places the
slightest faith in the legends of Eclipse
and his mile minute. The American
trotting mare Maud S. has covered mile
in two minutes eight and three-quarter
seconds. The best time made by man
is Georges four minutes twelve and
three quarter seconds; but it is the en-
durance of these pigeons that makes their
work so wonderful. Migratory birds, of
course, come infinitely greater di. tances,
though it is necessarily impossible to
estimate their speed. -Lmdo~ STANDARD.
