A Springfield, Mo-, cigar manufac-

heller with box of cigars made of to-
bacco grown in Arkansas. In letter

bacco. l commenced manufacturing cigars
here. and over a month ago wrote for the to-

wholly Of imported leaf Their quality fully
sustains the character with which always
credited Arkansas grown Havana tobacco.
This box OF cigars is intended to prove that
Arkansas may head the list Of the states pro-
ducing cigar leaf tobacco. Each state imparts
a pronounced individuality to its leaf, so much
so that II an expert was blindfolded and given
a cigar to smoke he could tell. nine times In

was grown. 1t will be admitted that the indi-
viduality Of Arkansas-grown tobacco Is de-

The board of trustees of the state uni

in the state to grant students of that
institution tickets at one-half regular

in letters to Gov. Jones, chairman of

Joseph and John Getty were arrested
at Benton on the novel charge of kid
naping their 15-year-old sister from Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Draughon at Hot
Springs. Two years ago, it is claimed,
a sister of the abducted girl gave her to
Col. j. w. Draughon, with the under
standing that he adopt her. Recently
another sister went to Hot Springs and
tried to induce Col. Draughon and his
wife to let her take the girl. To this
Mr.. Draughon would not agree. A few
days later the two brothers drove up to
the Draughon home with closed car
rage and carried their sister away,
At their trial the brothers were ac-
quilted, the court giving them legal
custody of their sister.

The above is the substance of the first
article published by the Monitor. Now fol
low some clippings, taken from. the same
paper two years afterward, and there is not
the slightest shadow of doubt, in view of
this testimony, that Mr.. Petch's cure is per-
manent. Here follows the account:
On being again questioned, Mr.. Petch
said "You see those hands-the skin is now

them with a pin and would not feel it, and

to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

Next came a little feeling in his limbs.

No class of people Is so liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from a heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that a minister feels impelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "Clergymen's sore throat ="

of the north Washington sent Daniel
Albany and appealed to the New York
and New England patriots to arise and
meet the invader. With his own army
he kept Howe occupied around Phila-
delphia, although he lost the battle of
Brandywine and Germantown. After
the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga
he asked for the continental troops serv-
ing with the army there under Gates to
come to his aid i'll securing the forts on
the Delaware, and thus cut Howe off
from direct communications with the
sea. They were not sent, and the Della
ware line was lost. Washington went
into camp at Valley Forge. He had been
the victim Of a base conspiracy to un-
dermine his power, but kept up his own
spirit and that of his men during that
trying time by looking for aid from
France. Lafayette had joined him at
Philadelphia, and during the winter the
treaty of alliance was signed.
Early i'll the spring General Howe re-
signed the British command at Phila-
delphia, and his successor, Clinton, evac-
uated the city, taking the army to New
York. Seeing chance to cripple the
British on tho march, Washington plan
ned an attack at Monmouth and was
robbed of IL brilliant victory by the
treachery of Charles Lee, who had re-
turned frosn captivity to his command.
In that battle Washington displayed
again the qualities of fighting general.
Like Napoleon, he dashed to the front
to cheer on and direct his men. At the
same time he did not give way to battle
frenzy, although he lost his temper over
the contemplate conduct of Lee. Lafa-
yette proved IA hero, boy that he was.
While the alliance with France came
In good time to cheer ON the revolu-
GonistS, it increased the difficulties of
the com nander i'll chief. Without the
French navy Ehere was little hope Of
success, but the French admirals had
their own views of the plan of action.
Furthermore, the revolutionists expect
ed too much of the French, and another
task was laid upon Washington S shoul-
ders-tO keep his people to their work.
Besides planning campaigns he was
forced to do the work of national lead
er, a leader bearing upon his sword the
fate of the country. The campaigns un-
dertaken by the French We're failures,
md the British gained territory on the
coast. Finally Washington asked La
fayctte to go to France and secure a
feet and an army which should be un-
der his own direction. 1t arrived at
Newport in the summer of 1850, and
while Washington was there comforting
with the French leaders Arnold plotted
the base treason which was to give his
commander another cruel blow. He
had trusted the brilliant soldier OF
