THE CONTEST,
FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE
CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
ELoCUTI0N AND
ART.
Six Candidates Placed in Nomina-
ton the First Week and Vot-
ing Spirited and Lively.

The GRAPHIo's voting contest for
a free scholarship in the Mozart
Conservatory of Music, Eloeution
and Art started off last week at a
very lively pace, and If the interest
already manifested keeps up, which
IS more likely to increase as the CON
test nears the end, there will be a
much larger vote polled than those
who inaugurated the enterprise an
ticipated.
Six contestants have already enter
ed the field and the vote polled last
night shows the following result:
Miss Willie J. Atkinson .... 200
Miss Brunette Altsehul ....s.., 90
Miss Mamie Mann. ........... n
Miss Mary MoMillin ......... 46
Miss Ruby Johnson .......z.... 10
Miss Mamie McFadden ...@...... 5
This scholarship will entitle the
lucky winner to the choice of any
course in the Mozart Conservatory
of Music, Elocution and Art, the
value of which is from $50 to $65,
according to the course selected. It
is therefore a prize well worthy of
the efforts of any person desiring
instruction in music, elocution or
art, and since the Mozart GonserAa-
tory is local institution, the. win
ner of the GRAPHIC S scholarship will
not be put to any additional ex.
pense whatever to attend its ses-
sions.
The GRAPHIC is Offering to the
young ladies and gentlemen of Pine
Bluff rare opportunity to obtain
instruction free of charge in the
accomplishments and graces Of
music, elocution and art, and we
invite all subscribers for the
GRAPHIC to vote early and often for
their friends and favorite in the
contest.
The vote will be counted every
Saturday night at Z o'clock and the
result announced in the Sunday
Morning GRAPHIC.

There Is much discussion among
those concerned in the reorganization
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad "a
to the form OF the charter the company
Is to have or whether 1t Is advisable
to foreclose the property at present. in
view Of the fact that the present Con-
gress has failed to give the company a
new charter. A story is aiioat in Wall
Street to the effect that the failure Of
Congress to pass the expected legisla-
ton was partly due to the efforts of
the bondholders Of the Seattle, Lake
Shore and Eastern Railroad, who are
said to have a 100000 claim the
Northern Pacific refuses to adjust.
The sale Of the road Is advertised to
take place next month, but as no action
In regard to the new charter was ukeu
Mt this session Of Congress 1t Is consid-
cred likely that the sale will be post
poned. A charter might be obtained
from one Of the states. but 1t would lack
many Of the valuable rights that are
enjoyed by the old company under its
present charter.

1t is now the country doctor. not tho

skeletons in their closets. The clergy

He has not the key to mems struggles:
with the utmost official Difference he is
left in great degree outside of their

all, US they do to the family physician
who assisted some of them into the

who remembers grandfather in his

Aunt Eunice's desolate life. Even the

ties and traditions of the community:
certainly not to the clergyman. who is
apt to be but of yesterday. Fortunate
ly this position of confidence into which
the country physician is now lifted is
in itself liberal education: he learns
to prescribe for the sick soul as for the
invalid body. Perhaps he does it as
we'll. on the whole, as his predecessor.
the clergyman, did before him; but il
is nevertheless an essential change of
dynasty, and every added breaking up
OF strong and prosperous clerical in
fiuence makes the transformation NOR
noticeable. In place of the country
solicitor, the Tulkinghorn of the Eng
lish novels-the man who held in his
strong box the mysteries of every fam
ily-we had for a long time in New
England the semi-official class of coun-
try ministers. Now, with the multi
plication of sects and the abbreyiation
Of pastorates, the minister practically
abdicates and the physician takes his
place as the confidential adviser of the
community at large.

BABY DID 1T.
The Little Thing Was Sunshine In That
Dingv Street Car.

Dingv Street Car.
On one of the cold, rainy days OF the
past week a Washington Star reporter
was on a car on the Pennsylvania ave
nue. line coming down Capitol NIL.
There was pretty good load OF passeh-
gers. 1t was cold, wet and uncomlorl-
able inside of the car. and the rain beat
tattoo on the windows without tha'
brought anything but pleasant renee
tions to the passengers who would nave
to face it. At the Peace monument
there was big reinforcement OF pas
sengers. They piled in very uncere-
moniously, bringing with them a rush
OF cold air and scattering showers OF
spray from their soaked garments. III
the crowd which got aboard was d
woman with baby in her arms. Inc
woman was rather poorly and thlhly
clad and had no umbrella There was
some delay in her getting a seat ana
she looked decidedly forlorn and help
less trying to maintain her balance ana
at the same time look out for her child.
But with all the environment calcu-
lated to make men mean and surly
some one had enough gallantry in spite
of the weather to offer her a seat. But
mother and child got many reproving
look from the other passengers. Those
who were in an ugly mood on account
OF their unpleasant surroundings found
1t very soothing to their ruftled feeling
to think, We'll. there's bigger fool
than | am" and one lady whispered
to her neghbor loud enough to reach
the ear of the writer: THE very idea OF
taking baby out in such a storm"
and finished her sentence with shrug
OF her shoulders which meant more
than she said. But baby was wrapped
up snug and warm in a blanket and
its mother. needless of what her neigh
bcrs might think. began to unroll
the quaint covering to see how his
dlm1nutive majesty was getting on.
Everybody in the car was watching
her with looks Of mingled disapproval
and curiosity. She finally got the roll
undone SO that Mr. Baby's face became
visible. And such a face as it was!
There was probably never mere COM
pletely surprised set of people in that
street car before. Baby was a real
beauty of tine sort that is apparent 10
somebody else besides the mother. Such
eyes, such dimples and, withal, such a
bright, healthy, smiling face in all
probability will never light up a SINH
lar occasion. Baby's appearance
worked like magic charm on the rest
OF the passengers. AS soon as his face
was uncovered he took a survey of the
passengers about him with owlish
gravity. Then, as if struck by some
highly ludicrous idea in the contem-
plation of the scene, he burst into a
great tit of baby laughter. He CHR
ruped and chuckled and kicked I'D his
heels in such glee that inside of a
minute he had the entire car on his
side. The scowling looks had all dis
appeared as if by magic and people for

outside and their uncomfortable sur

in broad smile at the novel situation.
Somehow that baby's genuine, healthy
and spontaneous good spirits had for
the time put an entirely new phase on
life for all who saw him.

The drinks that quench thirst most
effectually are. according to an author
ity on the subject, those that possess
little sugar and no salt Among the
flavors to be combined with water are
lime and lemon juice, the juice Of the
grape fruit, and phosphates of orange
and cherry. Cold tea and coffee with
a slice of lemon and no sugar are also
beverages that will satisfy thirst. Both
OF the latter should be poured from tho

Beneath the grim pines far away;
No loud command, no sound of gun,
No sabers flashing in the sun
Where laugh the ripples in their glee,
AS meath the stars they seek the sea,
Two ghostly pickets guard their posts,
behlnd them camp the spectral hosts !,
NO camp-fires in the starlight CLEAN,
NO light falls on the silent stream,
Yet, to and fro, in blue and gray,
The spectral pickets tramp their way
The sweet rose mods, the lily blows
Where men in battle met as foes;
The wren hath built her tiny nest
Where gushed the blood from hero
breast;
There's rust upon the broken blade
Deep in the heart of yonder glade,
And flowers fair of every hue
Fall on the brave who dream in blue.
No thought OF strife, no dream of war
The Nations sacred day can mar,
The lily. type of love divine,
Is found in heart of wreath Of pine;
And. reunited, North and South.
With flowers hide the lannon's mouth.
Whilst Love and Friendship, warm and
true,
Recrown the brave who sleep in blue.
