Miss Irma Stevens entertained in honor of her cousin, Mss Helen Me- Caskill, of Atchison, Kansas, Monday night, June 17. The affair was de- lightfully recherche, and the rare beauty of the petite and charming honOree won many deserved encomiums from the gallant company, and the flow of sparkling repartee never Jagged throughout an evening devoted to music and merry games. An elegant luncheon was served in the dining room at II o'clock by the Mrs Stevens, mother of the hostess. Miss McCas- kill leaves tomorrow for Walden and Water Valley. Mississippi, where she will visit briefly, whence she will go to her home in Atchison. Those present were Messrs. Lindsay Bridgeforth. Archie Hatcher.

 On the night of the 10th, two hearts that were made one seven years ago were made glad by a thoughtful sur prise. The gleanefs of the Baptist church with delightfti repast enter talned the pastor and his wife in the preachers home. They have no words to tell of their appreciation. There were many expressions by guests present both of appreciation and kindly wishes for the future, The entwiniag pow. CT of those friendly tokens of people are s.mething beyond desire to break such loving relationship. May the happiness of those who added to the pleasure of the pastor and his family be multiplied both now and in the days to come. To them may the words of Christ be fully sustained Ut is more blessed to give than to receive. :" If so, certainly many hearts were thrice blessed last night. Praying God to bless both those present and all the membership of the church. am your servant for Jesus sake. Arthur N. Couch, Pastor.

We, the jury, find for the plainti and assess their damages at S113,3,o.- 20, with interest at per cent, S11.- 339 .81, a total of SPA. .73SO1.
 $. A. DRIVER, Foreman
 This verdict, the above being an exact copy of the original instrument, was returned by the jury shortly after ten o'clock Saturday morning, Judge F. D. Fulkerson presiding on the bench.
 For two weeks this damage suit has occupied the attention of the circuit court of Jackson county and in this long controversy every point has been closely contested by the attor- neys on both sides, who represent the best legal talent in Arkansas.
 The arguments in the case were closed Friday afternoon and the case went to the jury, but owing to disa- greement, no verdict was reported until thei time stated Saturday morn ing. Then word was sent to Judge Fulkerson that a verdict had been reached and court was called. The decision was source of much ela- tlon among the attorneys for the plaintiffs and corresponding discour- agement could be seen upon the faces of the counsel for the defense.
 The plaintiffs in the case were the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Company who lost 2768 bales of cotton, valued at S120,OOO, stored at the Union Com press, when that building was burned in April of 1900. The suit was enter ed upon March 25th Of the following year and had never come to trial until this term. Evidence was introduced in the trial to show that the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Company secur- ed the insurance carried upon the de- stroyed cotton and that the suit was in reality prosecuted by the fire insur ance companies carrying the risks.
 By it's verdict, the jury held that sparks from an Iron Mountain engine had set afire the Best stable which in turn fired the compress, for which de- struction of property, the jury in this case held the road responsible.
 The plaintiffs attorneys were John M. Moore and Ashley Cockrill, Little Rock, and Stayton & Stayton, New port. The lawyers upon the defense were B. F. Johnson and Francis John son, Little Rock, and G. A. Hillhouse, Stuckey & Stuckey, Phillips & Camp bell, Newport, who served notice of appeal.
 | SIMILAR SUITS.
 Should the higher courts confirm this decision, five other suits upon the same ground would make a total judg- ment against the Iron Mountain of $400,000. Four of these have been en- tered in the Jackson County Circuit Court, one of the Union Compress Company for s30, ,OO0 and interest, the remaining three being those of own CTS of cotton destroyed by the com press fire.

A Helpful Robin.

One evening recently, while lying
robin futtering and hopping across
the lawn. 1t was making it's way to-
ward a maple tree in which / knew
pair of robins had their nest.
Having reached the foot of the tree,
it made several futile efforts to fly
up into the branches. but only sue
ceeded in fiuttering around in a circle
near the ground. as one wing was
broken. 1t seemed to be a hopeless
struggle, and wondered how it would
end.
| had recently been reading Wake
Robin" and these words of John Bur-
roughs came to my mind: "One may
go blackberrying and make some dis
covery. Secrets lurk on all sides.
There is news in every bush. What no
man ever saw may the next instant
be revealed to you"
The repeated efforts of the bird to
reach it's nest attracted the attention
of its mate. She soon flew down be-
side him, emitting pteous little notes.
After hopping anxiously around him
for a few moments. she flew away,
and the wounded robin settled quietly
down in the grass.
In three or four minutes the mate
returned with a large worm in its
bill, which 1t deposited by the side
of the sufferer. The worm was eager
ly devoured by Mr.. Robin. who .Aen
again rested in the grass, his mate
meanwhile having returned to her
nest.
Presently the robip. having appar.
emily regained some strength. began
to chirp, and was answered from the
branches above. His mate again flew
down to his side, and now the robin
made a desperate attempt to fly or
spring up; his mate. with outstretched
wings. got under him. and by their
united efforts they gained the bran h

When you look at an ordinary pic
ture all the figures in it appear fiat,
but when you look at picture through
a stereoscope the figures appear solid,
and stand out from their surroundings,
just as they do in life. Comparatively
few persons. perhaps. understand how
the stereoscope produces this effect,
but the principle is very simple. When
we look at an object, say the trunk of
a tree, each eye sees it differently, the
right eye seeing the front and a part
of the right side, and the left eye see
ing front and a part of the left side
In other words the right eye receives
one image of the trunk and the left
eye another. and it is the union of
these two images that makes the
trunk appear solid instead of fiat.
Now, if two photographs of the
tree trunk be taken. one from where
the right eye sees it and the other
from where the left eye sees it. and
an arrangement be made by which
they can be united. so as to come to
our eyes as one picture. precisely the
same erect VIII De produced as II we
looked at the object itself. and it will
of course, appear solid.
The stereoscope accomplishes this
perfectly. Every slide used in the in
strument bears two pictures. They
seem to be exactly alike, but they
are not, for one of them is for the
right eye and the other for the left
and the lenses are so adjusted that
they bring one of the pictures over
the other and make them form a single
image in our eyes. That is why the
object appears solid, for in looking at
the two pictures of it through the
stereoscope we see it exactly as we do
when we look at the object ITSELF

Cage birds require a good deal more

Green food is as necessary for our
little feathered friends as it is for lis,

A lettuce leaf will be greatly appre-
ciated, the succulent mid-rib will be
eaten voraciously. Groundsel will oc-
casionally find favor, and can be
varied with chickweed and apple but
it will generally be found that lettuce
is best liked.
A little hemp may be given, but it Is
heating and should be only given when
the bird will come and take it from
the hand.

In the cage, besides glass of mixed
rape and canary, three parts of the
latter to two of the former being the

cred pets, let me remind my readers
to remember the daily path, which
should be attached to the cage and not
laid on the floor, for in this way the
sand is made wet and the cake un-

Mosquitoes and Their Ways.

The department of agriculture re-
Gently printed a little pamphlet on
The Mosquitoes Of the United States"
compiled by DR.. Howard from infor-
nation gathered last summer. In the
first place. the doctor found that the
insect is native in every part of the
globe; that he thrives quite as well
in Lapland as in South America and
Africa-somewhat more vigorously, in
fact-and that he is scattered over
Uncle Sans possessions from Maine
to Alaska and from Washington to
Porto Rico.
heretofore it has been thought that
the mosquito could breed only in
water, loving stagnant ponds and
streams above all other nurseries, but
DR.. Howard finds that immense
sWarms of them live in dry prairie
districts, miles away from all water.
While some scientists believe that
this proves that the insect can breed
away from pools and ponds. the doc
tor is inclined to hold that the hardy
little torment lives from one rainy
season TO the next.
Adult mosquitoes sleep through the
winter like frogs and toads, but they
very quickly die when confined under
glass in summer. Without food they

they have lived thus for two months.
The doctor also finds that. contrary
to the general notion, mosquitoes do
not require blood for food. There is
a wide difference between the mouths
of male and female mosquitoes. The
males can live a long time without
nourishment of any sort. and the fe-
male does not absolutely need the
blood of living animals. The females
are evidently natural plant eaters,
while both sexes thrive in great
swarms far from animals which form
their usual prey. Potatoes and water
melon rinds are food for both. and
they sometimes attack fish and other
cold-blooded creatures.
Railroads play an important part in
distributing them to new localities,
and, though they cannot fly in strong
breezes and generally take shelter in
trees during gales, they have been
known to travel surprising distances
in the suction created by railway
train.

solution into lather by beating it

The oriole. it seems. had tumbled
out of its swinging nest and was
picked up by lady. When the lady
attempted to put the bird back in the
nest the bird objected. His little whim
was respected and he was taken into
the house. A diet of worms was fur
nished, but Mr.. Oriole soon showed a
taste for the things that human be-
ings eat. and bread. boiled eggs and
sugar took the place of the worms.
He developed a fondness for candy,
and that also was supplied.
While he was very charming, he was
also very determined little autocrat.
He had a way of waking up his mis-
tress in the morning and demanding
his breakfast of bread and water.
After he had been fed he would take
an after-breakfast nap on his mis-
tress's pillow. He was full of fun and
enjoyed nothing better than to get
hold of and tangle his mistress's hair
In consequence, while the combing
process was going on. this small,
fluffy creature had to be put out of the
room.
When autumn came and the rest of
the birds began to get ready for the
winter trips southwark the oriole be-
gan to get restless. One morning he
was seen hopping on the window
ledge. The next instant there was
flash of yellow-and he had gone back
to his own people and his own ways.
