PIsCatorial.

The residents of Craw]ey Ridge were awakened early Thursday morn of last week by the heavy rumbling Of a wagon, and the hilarity of it's Occu- pants. At a cursory glance, the num- Der of necks craning over the sides Of the wagon, the good folks imagined that Coxey's army had lit down on them. As the sun rolled the clouds away, however. only five human necks were discerned-balance of the necks belonged to b--. It proved to be a fishing party, chaperoned by Squire Boyle, consisting of Jno. Winfield, l.. Davenport, Oscar Prewett, and l.. Rollwage, jr. Their objective point was Long Lake. a famous fishing lake in the depths of wild bottom land. Nothing occurred en route worth mentioning, except the intense dread of the Squire that a snake might drop on him. Realizing the truth of the aphorism. 'an ounce of prevention, etc" the lid of the med icine chest kept up a constant slam ming. St. Patrick seemed to have been their guardian angel, for none was bitten.
 Camp was pitched, and everything made snug and fast, ana tue Ieai events of the day commenced. Fish were abundant, and ravenously bit at any bait. and all claim long strings, but unfortunately forgot to weigh or count them.
 The suuire's luck was phenomenal from an amateurs standpoint. At every cast he drew up something's fish or limb-mostly limbs. But the crown ing event was the catching of an eel. His natural antipathy to anything snake-like but added to his horror. when in the ''yank" he sent that eel sailing though the air like an s, and the whack he gave him on the soil of Arkansas seemed but to excite his squirming, the Squire dropped all hold and made for the camp, where under the solace of bottled beer and a gentle rain, he announced his intention of abandoning fishing.

THE following from the Augusta Sentinel is applicable to Forrest City: "Any careful observer by standing around the postoffice and watching the money order department would be amazed at the amount of retail busi- ness done between foreign mercantile establishments and local purchasers. This does not speak we'll of a town. It is detrimental to the interests, both of the people and of our home merchants. Both the purchaser and merchant are to blame for this state of affairs, If the people persist in ordering from St. Louis. Memphis and Little Rock. the home merchants cannot afford to keep well supplied stock, because they would have no purchasers. the mer- chants do not keep in stock the best line of goods, the latest novelties, and offer them at the lowest prices, the peo- pie are forced to seek them elsewhere. This is an evil that should be speedily remedied. There is too much money going to the cities that should remain at home. Our merchants should carry we'll supplied stocks at living prices and our people should patronize home industries. It is better that q mer- chant sacrifice his profits and supply the local trade, and it is better that the consumer also make some sacrifices. Better to pay little more for your goods and get not exactly what yon want, if by so doing you encourage your home merchant to supply his stock with goods at prices that will stop this demoralizing mail trafc."

FORREST CITY vS. BRINKLEY.

A contest of interest to the followers Isaak Walton took place at Long Lake. last Wednesday and Thursday. A wagon load of 'champions"-Admiral Gray, l.. Rollwage and o. M. Norman and c H. Paslay, of Brinkley-in the silence of the night folded their tents and crept slowly away to the lake, armed with all the modern appliances and seductive baits to lure some of the hnny tribe from the placid bosom of the waters-that's the language in which Paslay puts it up. The party are reticent as to the incidents of the trip, but seem to be unanimous in the verdict that better time could not be spent. The fish bit lively and the days catch counted 190 game fish, with Brinkley in the lead. Gray and Roll wage have pulled down their pennon.

SEIZED BY BRITAIN.

All the Gilbert Islands Under the British
Flag Hard Times for American Trad
ers, Who Five Years Ago Controlled the
Trade of the Gilberts, but Will Nov
Have to Retire from the Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-The Helen
w. Almy, which has just arrived from
Gilbert islands, brings the news that
Great Britain has determined to seize
the whole group, and this has prob
ably been done before now. Sir John
Thurston, British high commissioner
for the Western Pacific and governor
of FIJI, recently completed an inspec-
ton of the Gilbert islands. He re-
ported that the British flag should
be hoisted on all the islands, as
1T was nearly year ago on Butari-
tart. His report dwelt on the rich
ness of the islands and the prospect OF
developing British trade He ap
proved the practical deposing of King
Tubereimoa who, it will be remem.
bered, appealed to the United States
against the arbitrary acts of Capt.
left Butaritari on November 20 the
steamer Archer, from Sydney, was ex-
pected in a few days with a new com
missioner to take charge of the is
lands.
The Jew American traders on the
Gilberts have had hard time since the
British seized Butaritari, as the ma.
tives have received orders not to sell
copra and pearl shells to any except
English dealers. Five years ago the
American traders controlled the lucra.
tive business of the Gilberts, but now
there are few remaining, and they will
soon have to retire.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 27.-The United
States warship Mohican is now at Mare
island, where she has been thoroughly
overhauled and refitted under orders
from the navy department to proceed
to Honolulu b to relieve one of the
United States vessels. believed to be

return to the United States and be
locked for repairs. A steel ship
like the Philadelphia is generally re-
gardeRa as only fit for service in trop-
1cal fatitudes for five months before
tbG steel bottom becomes foul. The
philadelphia has now been in the
}southern Pacific for eight or nine
months and is badly in need of An over
hauling. The Mohican has beel under
waiting orders for several we.ks, but
the final orders have not yet arrived.
She is now practically ready Cor sea,
and could start at da5s notice.
There is no significance in tfs fact that
she is to be sent to HawaiS. as far as
can be learned.

The Time to Give.

Have you never noticed at what =
queer time people send their flowers,
and felicacies and make their most
FREQUENT visits to the sick? Is it not
when the rumor goes abroad that the.
days of your friend or acquaintanceare,
numbered that your heart and purse
strings are both opened TO do some
thing for him before he goes beyond
the need of your service? But how
quickly yon grow callous when you
hear that he will get well. Then is the
graceful as well as proper time to, send
in the cheerful short story, the. jelly
and the roses. Though even then it is
wisest to know through doctor or nurse
what dainty you may safely send. To
eyes that are weary with weeks, per-
haps, of looking at an nnattractive wall
space, what could be more interesting
than the loan of a picture?-N. Y. Post

THE BRIDE OF DEATH.

Horrible Story of Indian Superstitious
Cruelty-Infant Twins Drained with q
Club Before the Eyes of Their Un-
happy Mother, Who was Then Publicly
Burned as q Witch In Her Shack.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 27.-A hor-
rible story of the wild law and super
stition of the Mojave Indians is told by
j. f. Saunders, who arrived last even
ing from The Needles, town on the
Colorado river, on the Atlantic & Pa
cific railway. He had heard the details
just before he took the train. and they
seem to be corroborated by an account
given in a local paper, which he
brought with him.
The Moiave Indian reservation is
about half mile from The Needles,
and the aborigines are virtually their
own masters, having their own laws
and superstitions. On Tuesday last a
triple murder was committed under
the plea of a tradition by the Indians.
One of the prettiest squaws of the
tribe, known as Loneta, was married
according to the savage rites about a
year ago. She was a comely girl, only
Is years old. and had picked up some
education. Her husband was one of the
bravest and apparently very fond of
her
Sunday last Loneta gave birth to
twins, and as a result grand powwow
was called, for, according to the Mo-
jave tradition, the squaw who has
twins is a witch. The penalty has al
ways been death for the babies and
mother. Loneta's husband was SO fond
of her. however, that he made a strong
plea for her and her ba bies, but it was
of no avail. The medicine men held
that the old custom must be observed,
and the two little ones were brought
forward and Drained with a club.
Loneta was kept for a more trying
ordeal, which she suffered without
complaint. Every one of her personal
belongings were gathered and put into
her ''shack," and she was ordered in
side. She bid her husband good-by
and went in. The entrance was closed,
straw and brush were piled about the
frail structure and fired, and in two
hours nothing but few embers re-
manned to tell the tragic story.
Officers at The Needles learned the
facts too late to interfere, and the poor
squaw with this horrid torture passed
to the happy hunting ground, where
her ill-starred offspring had preceded
her
