A SMART BOY.

An ingenious youth out in Iowa
tied a thread to nickel, dropped
the nickel in slot machine, got
what he wanted, then, whithGraw> ;
ing the nickel by the thread, re-
peated the operation until he had
made a clean sweep of the rescep,
tacle's contents.
He was arrested on charge Of
theft, but the Judge who tried him
held that he had committed neither
burglary, larceny, nor robbery, nor
even obtained property under false
pretcnses. He had merely done what
the inscription on the machine told
him to do, drop a nickel in the slot,
and had kept on doing it, Nothing
WAS said about leaving the coin
where it was dropped. The decision
will probably abate nuisance.

SENATOR S. q. DAVIDSON
St Lnnls RennblIc.

Perhaps there is no Senator who
is a member of the present General
Assembly of Arkansas that bas more
personal popularity than the Senator
from Sharp, the Hon. Sam Ii. Da,
wilson, who represents the Second
Senatorial District. He is 42 years
of age, a native fo Benton County,
Tenn, and came to Arkansas IN
1869.
Inheriting from his father a taste
for the law he adopted it as his pro-
fession, and in 1869 was admitted to
the bar. He ranks high in the pro-
fession.
InlSSS he declined the urgent SOL
icltatiou of the people Of his district
to become candidate for At
torney.General, but accepted the
unsolicited nomination Of the Dem
ocracv of his district for the State
Senate. He led the fight against a
strong combination with the ablest
man the Union-Labor party had in
the State for all opponent, but he
won by good major.t.". Tie is a
man of very decided ability and is
also recognized as a man of the
people Wherever he is known his
friends are legion, and nearly all bis
personal friends call him "Sam,"
When he speaks on question be-
fore the senate his arguments carry
force and conviction and he Is
rarely the champion of a measure
that does not 90 through. He is con-
sidered a man whose future is to be
indlssoIubly linked with the history
and progress of the State. 1t is
predicted there are many honors for
"Sam" Davidson in the future if he
does not avoid them with Ills char
acteristic Indifference to official pro-
motion.

The growth of pine trees is

to our notice few days ago by pass

In 1874 that whole plot Of ground
was in cultivation, and is now COW
cred by pine saphngs some of which
are 80 feet high and foot through
at the collar. Allowing the germ
year to put forth after the field was
abandoned by the plow, these young
pines have attained this size in about
fourteen years, which shows quite
rapid growth for forest trees.

PAPAL ECONOMY.
A REDUCTION or EXPENSES AT THE
VATICAN SOUGHT.
Pope Leo's Generosity-Ths Demands
Upon His Hoiiness-Papal Resources
The Petsr's-Pencs Fund.
[By Anglo-American cable 70 the Dlspatch.l

tBy Angio-American cable 10 the Dispatch.l
RoMr. May 25.--The Pope Is taking steps
to secure greater economy of expenditure
at the Vatican. He has appointed COM
mission consisting of three cardinals
charged 20 do their utmost TO effect q re-
duction in expenses. II is believed to be
the first time since Sixtus V. that Pope
has interfered in the constitutions OF the
congregations Of Rome. From financial
point OF view the proposed reductions in
expenses are probably due TO the increased
demands upon the Holy See. The misery
in Italy and the effects of the national
bankruptcy on the funds of the Vatican
have considerably augmented extraordi-
nary expenses. Everybody asks money OF
the Pope. Then, again, the work OF the
Holy See is continually increasing. Leo
KILL has created at Rome. and especially
in the mission fields. special undertakings,
which require much money. The crusade
against slavery has absorbed considerable
sums. The Pope is lavish in his endow-
ments Of schools, the sciences, and benevo-
lent agencies. Leo XIII. is not so liberal
to persons as was Plus TX, but TO causes
of general interest his generosity borders
on prodigality.
THE PoPE's RESOURCES.
It is impossible to estimate now how
mucu INC Ope gives privately. nls Ic-
sources are difficult to enumerate. Even
the administrators of St. Peters Pence
itself do not know the exact receipts and
expenditures of the Pope, because Leo
XIII. receives directly the greatest sums
from the Bishops and the laity. Part of
this money is devoted to extraordinary
work and'expenses and part goes towards in
creasing the secret fund reserved for future
needs. Initiating Sixtus ", Leo XIII.
wishes to leave to his successor tesoro
pontlfco for exceptional circumstances, as
war, exile, or perjury. II is asserted that
this fund has absorbed thirty million
francs of the sums received by him on the
occasion of his Sacerdotal jubilee in 1887.
ST. PETERS PENCE.
The average amount received annually
by the Pope in st. Peters Pence is be-
tween eight and nine million francs.
There has been some falling of in the
amount received from France, due, as it is
thought at the Vatican, to the educational
laws. which weigh heavily on the French
people. But this has been more than
counterbalanced by the increase of eontri-
buttons from many other countries. The
United States now contributes more than
France to this fund, sending annually
$500, 900. Belgium comes next after France,
then Holland, Spain, Germany, and last OF
all, Italy.
ITALIAN GOVERNMENT AID NOT ACCEPTABLE.
1t seems highly improbable that the
Pope will ever accept the sum assured him
by the Italian Government in the guaran-
tee law. as it would be an admission of de-
pendence. The system of st. Peters Pence
has become a permanent institution and
promises to be- sufficient for all Papal
needs.
