ROBBED 4 SLEEPER.
And Got 55 Gents, Barlow Knife
 and Work on the Chain Gang.

There were two smooth guys in the police court this morning.
 They gave their names and resi- deaees to be as follows: Will Davis, St. Louis, Mo, and J. L. Carson, Rison, Cleveland county.
 They were arrested by Night Watchman W. S. McCord near the Bluff City mill in the western part of the city Thursday night. The cause of their arrest is as follows:
 A young man named Hammond, of this city, while waiting for a train at the crossing Thursday night, fell asleep. Carson and Da- wis were also waiting to take the train in that part of town. While walking about to while the time away they ran upon the sleeping form of Hammond and their first idea seemed to rob him. They rifed his pockets and secured bis pocket book containing 55 cents and a Bar low knife. When Hammond awoke he felt for his small possessions but found them gone. He looked around and saw Davis and Carson seated on the platform nearby and immediate ly suspicioned that they were the thieves. He reported the matter to Night Watchman MeCord, who placed them under arrest aud tele- phoned for the police.
 Ia the police court this morning both of the men plead guilty to the charge of petit larceny. Davis was fined $75 and Carson $50. They were unable to pay their fines and will be placed on the chain gang in few days to improve our thorough fares.

THE STENCIL OF DEcAYING BODIES UNDER HOUSES
 IS UNBEATABLE.
SUFFERING INDISCRIBABLE
People, Whose Homes Were Wrecked, are Wandering
 About Seeking Food.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-A dispatch from San Juan says: Communica- tion bas been restored in the direc- tion of Ponce as far as Cagas. The whole country has been devastated. In every section the hurricane de. stroyed all the towns and villages. The people whose homes were wreck ed are wandering about seeking food and shelter.
 In the towns ths stench of the de- caying bodies under the ruins of houses and public buildings is al most unbearable. In Yabucoa both of the government physicians were caught in the wreckage and wound ed. The town will be set on fire in order that an epidemic may be avoided.
 Dr. Altman of Areceibo writes that up to August 13 10 assistance of any kind had reached there. There IS an almost unbearable sterch and unless aid comes within a few days be declares there must follow a fearful epidemic.
 It is certain that there are many bodies lying in state of petrefac- tion under the ruins, but it is impos- sible to find laborers to clean up the town. Reports from Nagauabo, Cerrozzala, Aguada, Comeiro aud Guayanilla that these towns have been destroyed and that the munich palisies are without the means to relieve distress. The captain of an incoming steamer reports that ff- teen miles off San Juan and drifting shoreward there are innumerable bodies of human beings and cattle, mingled indiscriminately with the wreckage Uf houses,

and fighter with more gameness about him the writer has never Eeen. He never becomes angry when he receives a hard blow and never gets rattled. In a hard fought battle ia this city several months ago, he put Kid 7E5ane, the Chicago boy, to sleep in thirteen rounds and it was several hours be- fore he could be brought to,
 Green, when he knocked Evans out the other night, put up good fight and guarded himself perfectly, Three blows on the jaw put Evans down. He made number of un- successful attempts to rise, but was counted out. Just as the refree said "10" he jumped to his feet and was ready to continue the battle. He was dazed, but not knocked out.
 Now his friends, packers and U diners claim that the referee counted the seconds too fast and did not gIve them square deal. The decision, however, seemed 10 please the audience and it was the general opinion that Evans had been fairly whipped. Another bout has been arranged between the two men. The fight will b9 for the gate receipts and $500 side. It will be fought at Hot Springs on the even- ing of September Sd, and many Pine Bluff sports will witnas the go. George Coleman and John Mullens of this city are backing Green and several wealthy colored citizens of Hot Springs will 'put up" for Evans

 When you consider this fact, don t you think you are mistaken when you say SoB don't need telephone in your home"
 What you have most precious in the world is there, and in the event of accident or danger you would need it even more at your home than at your office.

RATHER EMBARRASSING.
How Philadelphia Boys ImprOmptu
Amen Caused Sensation
In Court.

Attorney John A. Ward, one Of the
popular members of the Philadelphia
bar, says the Inquirer, of that city, re-
calls at times an incident in one of the
courts which happened shortly after
he had been admitted to practice law,
and which he tells with scarcely the
shadow of a smile. 1t was when court
was just opening for the morning ses-
sion that boy, sitting by his side,
heard the usual prayer made by the
crier. The lad seemed surprised, until,
as the last words were uttered by the
official, Ward, without thought as to
the result, punched the boy in the side
with his elbow and told him to say
Amen. Quick as a flash came the re-,
sponse from the boy in tone Of voice
that at first startled lawyers and spec-
tators and disturbed the equilibrium
Of the presiding judge.
When the instant of astonishment
had passed men and women who were
present laughed lightly as all eyes were
directed toward the lad and Ward. "I
was too confused to do anything" says
the latter, Except to look in any direc-
ton but at the youth, who seemed to
be appealing to me to know why every
body was looking at us. l still say
amen myself when prayer requires
it, but l have never told anyone else
to do so since the occurrence in court,
and l never will"

WANTED ST. PAUL'S ADDRESS.
A Turkish Censor Who was After
the Author of Epfstles to
the Galatians.

The Athens Asty reports that Greek
benevolent society in the Turkish cap
ital recently issued a printed appeal to
the Hellenic community in Stamboui
for some special charitable object. The
appeal contained citation from one OF
the epistles of ST. Paul to the Galatians.
Two days after the publication of the
circular commissary of police from
the censor's sdepartment called upon the
printer and demanded the address of
St. Paul, who was to be charged with
the public utterance of seditous and po-
itically provocative language.
The printer at first was inclined to-
laugh outright at the absurdity of the
request and indictment, but as it is al
ways little risky to venture upon q
pleasantly with Turkish official he,
sedately replied that St. Paul, the au-
thor of the Objectionable citation, had
been dead for more than 1s centuries.
This ruffled the gravity of the police
commissary, who angrily exclaimed,i
"How dare you attempt such impudent
cajolery with me?" and forthwith ar
rested the printer. Extraordinary as
it may appear, the reiteration of the
same simple explanation to the censor
had an equally exasperating effect on
that intelligent official, and the un-
fortunate typographer was locked up
for his "perverse contumacy." 1t was
only after the lapse of three days and
on the urgent intervention of the GReek
patriarch that the printer was re-
leasa6

FATTENING CHICKS.
an Easier Task Than Is Gem
orally Supposed.

Poultry raisers who make a business
of selling young chickens cannot do
better than to study some OF the meth
eds which swine and cattle raisers
adopt in preparing their animals for
market. y fat chicken is always de-
sirable, and a full, plump body and
limbs will go Il long way toward finding
a customer. Most of the chickens sent
TO market are lean and lanky. 1t is
said that it is hard work to fatten 4
young chicken. If the right methods
are observed it Will be found an easy
matter. \ young chicken is prone to
u around a good deal, and her nervous
activity is apt to run off all fat. But
three or four weeks before it is time
10 market the chickens confine them in
narrow Enclosures where they cannot
run around much. Keep out all roost-
ers or fighting chickens, for worry is
sure to keep them thin. Only a few
should be kept in each Enclosure. The
pen should be n good one from every
point of view. 1t should have a shady
run and a sunny side so that the chick
n can suit themselves a little. Prefer
ably it should have some green growing
grass or shrubbery. This helps to make
life more pleasant and agreeable TO the
chickens. Everything TO make their
quarters comfortable should be added.
Now give them clean. fresh water
once or twice a day, and all the fat
tening food they can eat. Muscle and
~bOne-making food are not required.
These can be eliminated entirely. Corn
in various forms should be fed freely
to them. Cooked corn, mashed and
ground corn, the whole corn should be
fed every day. Warm potatoes and
bread crumbs viii also make fat. ANY
kind of milk and n little sugar will
help along the fattenin" process. The
process must be hurried along as fast
as possible, for during these days the
chickens Will eat considerable, and if
they do not lay on fat every day it
will be a losin" operation. In the end,
however. good returns should be made
for all this trouble and expense. for
the chickens will sell quicker in the
market, weigh more. and generally
bring the top prices.-Western Plow-
man.

HINTS FOR

If you desire to cross breed sheep, do
not do it recklessly.
Salt and good water are about as bee
essary for the flock as good food II
is a mistake to believe that sheep Will
do well enough without much water.
Sheep will not pay every year what
we think they ought to. Nothing will.
But in a number of years sheep will
pay as well as anything else on the
farm.
When a lamb is chilled, place If in
lukewarm water, keeping its head out.
Keep the temperature of the water up
and the lamb in the water until it be-
gins to show some vigor. Then placeit
beside a warm stove and rub it with dry
cloths.
Arrange to shear the sheep as 70 as
the weather can be considered settled.
There is no possible advantage in al
lowing the wool to remain on after the
weather becomes sufficiently warm to
admit removing it.-Western Plowm1n.
