invariably accompanied by Miss Sullivan,
who sits close beside her and gives her

She has the most indomitable enthusi-
asm for study, and though she is not at
all conceited, she thinks, not unreason-
ably, as has been proved, that she can
do almost anything. Much of her intel
lectual power her teachers feel may be
directly attributed to her long and hon
orable line of ancestors. For the blood
of the old Boston Adamses, as well as
that of Gov. Spottswood and many
Southern gentlemen of parts, has come

DEMAND FOR HALF-CENTs.
OmpetitiOn In Prices Now Calls for

Comp etitiOn In Prices Now Calls for
the Small Coin.
The coinage Of the half-cent is being
demanded from numerous quarters. In
the early history of the country this
coin did not seem to be needed. Bust
ness had not reached the degree Of di-
vision and specialization that rendered
II useful. In all the new countries where
resources have to be developed, there is
q disregard for detail and of small things.
AS civilization progresses and popltla-
ton increasing the trading and every
day business Is done on finer lines.
convenient small coins for use in small
transactions conduce to economy and saw
Ing, says the Bankers magazine. In
California in the pioeneer days there
were no coins less than dime. All
transactions In which change could not
be exactly made, less than a dime, caused
loss to one side and a gain to The
other. For q long time California at
fected to despise nickles. but the advani-
age of making closer and juster change
gradually recommended itself. and now,
even the copper cent is gradually gaining
ground In that state of great resources
and large ideas.
The demand for the half-cent comes
from those sections Of the country where
the struggle for existence is becoming
more difficult, and where the subdivis-
ions of business and competition in prices
cause the loss of even a half-cent In
making change a serious matter. There
are many things sold for a cent which
would be sold for a half-cent if such a
coin existed. The dollars would proba-
bly, take care Of themselves better If the
half-cent were in existence to be taken
care of than they are now, when the
| cent is the least coin that can be looked
! after. To add the half-cent to our coins
would increase the profits of small deal
ers, and possible economies to that class
of people who are obliged to make small
purchases. AS 1t is now either the seller
or purchaser in these small dealings

VACCINATION'S PROTECTION.
Rev l.. Anderson Writes of True
 Happening in His Household.

The Gazette of today (Friday's) issue has the following b say;
 Rev. Jas. A. Anderson of Pine Bluff and his family are still under quarantine on account of smallpox. There are eight members of the fanf- lg. When the oldest child was talk en, the whole family was vaeeinated. It "took on all except the youn gest daughter, Louise, , years old, ~4o was subsequently, stricken with the pest.
 Mir. Anderson writes very interest. Ingly from his isolated quarters, saying; Is it smaf1pox We have no doubs of it. Our last case is more typical than the first For one, I am sure that this winter will not end the trouble in this country; the germ is too widespread for that. We have nothing to do with the con- troyersy about the propaYlaetie value of vacinnation, etc l; weean on ly say that we would vaccinate our own family, as we have done. Our belief is that the disease is in this country to stay as long as there is material for it to work on, and there is not man in all Arhrnsas that can tell what day it is going to ap- pear in his family. Whether it lies within the scope Uf the police power of the state to compel vaccination is question We leave to lawyers and lay.thinkers on constitutional lprin. eiples. V advise obedience to the powers that. be, on the one hand; and we noe8d abide tne wisdom of the past, and vacctaate, ifsthe pow CTS should have nothing to say on the subject. Not for fear of mortali- ty, but there are heap of things this side of death-as this family can testify-and for fear of them. :"
