HOW \ NAVAL OFFICER WAS
SPOILED

The recent death of Commodore Geo
n, Perkins, L. $. ~. recalls an inter.
esting episode in mis- naval history
HE lotued the navy In 1851 and was a
lieutenant in 1861 when the rebellion
broke out During the following four
years Perkins rendered good service
ana was almost constantly on active
SEA duty, having . years and months
credit for SEA service up to January |.

vice OF II months during that period,
II was hot that Perkins was lncapa-
citat,d 10 perform mis- share OF duty,
but simply because his private AFFAIRS
required so much attention. He man
aged 20 shirk duty a long time until
Secretary Chandler brought him to
time. In May. 1854. Secretary Chand-
Ter ordered him to take command OF
the Hartford ON the Pacific station. As
this order was not to the captains lik-
ing he called upon the secretary with
a view OF having the order revoked.

on the retired list Of captains.
Five years later Senator Hale had
a bill passed promoting Captain Per-
kins to commodore.
The cause which led to these years
OF duty-shirking was that his wife was
very wealthy and their little daugh-
ter had inherited a fortune Of $1,000
900 from n grandfather Incidentally
there was some litigation about the
This great wealth natur-
ally made him a society star and under
the circumstances he was much occu-

on the active list apparently only for

STRANGE PARALLEL TO
THE DREYFUS CASE

Captain Alfred Dreyfus Is not the
first famous victim OF French bigotry
and Injustice. But the man whose case
offers the most complete parallel to
that Of Dreyfus was never in his own
lifetime recognized as innocent. His
persecution was ended only by a final
act of barbarism-d@ath torture by
breaking on the wheel."Not until Vol
talre brought to light the somber and
blood-stained history OF Jean Calas did
France recognize that she had com
n1itted a crime which could not be
atoned for.

AN ARKANSAS KLONDJKE.
Montgomery County is Now the El
Dorado of All Eyes

Arkansas has never proved the
laggard in raising anything yet,
unless it was a rich strike in gold
or silver. There has been several
mines opened and operated in the
state, but the output was not phe-
nomenal and did not create that
stir that followed the gold discov.
cry in California in 1849, or the
craze that she opening of the mines
in Colorado had on the people, OF
the Klondike fever coming on later

out from Silver City in Montgom
cry county, Arkansas, we expect tC
see a rush made to the new Ell Do
RADIO that will surprise us all.

pert, who is prospecting for pay

of thirty feet he cut into a veir

showing value of 1900 ounces o.
silver to the ton, with some golt

There is constant demand for
gasoline stoves. Why? Because
the new gasoline stoves work per-
fectly, keep the kithen cool and
pleasant, and do away with the
bother of having wood and kindling
around, But the chief reason is
on account of the cheapness Of
gasoline, as compared with other
fuel for cooking purposes.
BY actual test it has been found
that four gallons of gasoline will 90
