give me "a hours to think the matter
over. Within the time accepted the

pleased. He said he would send my

ate action and wanted me to be ready to
take charge Of the Office within two or
three days.

indeed who would look for material
wealth instead Of spiritual riches among
the sacred pages. But just such thief
discovered the money. However, he took
only $25 Of the $55 there.
Before leaving Hawthorne's room the
thief made several alterations in the
Scriptural text. Under one of the bank
notes he discovered the golden rule, and
with his lead pencil he made it read,
'Do others, or they will do you" At an
other point he added a few words to the
commandment and substantiated his par
ticular conduct in this manner, Thou
shalt not steal more than enough for cur

Some few weeks ago a noted minister
went to one of the local railroad stations
to meet a friend. Upon entering the sta
ton and looking around he saw an ele-
gantly dressed woman, who apparently
was about to board train.
She was carrying a number of parcels
In her arms and, besides, had with her
three or four children that with great
difficulty she was trying to help along.
The clergyman approached the lady aud
offered his assistance, which she accept
ed, afterward thanking him very gra-
ciously for the kindness. The train NOV
ed out Of sight, and he went on his way
thinking of the endless opportunities
one has for doing good, when all at once
he discovered that he was carrying a
beautiful silk umbrella with pearl and
gold trimmings.

WHAT THEY SAY.
WITH GEN. WHITE
 AND HON. D. C. BELL
Future Prosperity of the City of Pine Bluff.

The question has been frequently asked by the voters lately as to just how the candidates for mayor stand on the proposed electric street railway and light plant, actual construction work on which will begin here in a few weeks, and the Graphic has sought to have the question answered. Some people have intimate that one of the candidates is opposed to the present home company retaining the franchise for the light plant and street railway on the grounds that the Water and Light company was the lowest bidder for the franchise and TOT other reasons, which were given in the rumor. This re- port, while it was not generally be- lieved, may possibly be given some credence by some It is well known fact that every citizen in the city is in favor of an electric railway and better lighting for Pine Bluff and that both of the candidates for mayor are in favor of the mentioned improve ments is also we'll known.

 NUES OF PINE BLUFF.
On Account of the Closing of the Gambling Houses and Slot
 Machines.

The closing of the gambling houses, slot machines and other de- vices classified as games of chance, by the new anti-gambling law, has very materially affected the revenues of the city of Pine Bluff
 There were on an average of ten gambling houses the year round in the city, and they paid into the city treasury by way of fines on confessed judgments in the city court the sum of $10 each weekly. making $400 month received from that source.
 The shutting down of the cigar and slot machines has reduced the reve- nue $200 month. There were an average of twenty of these machines in operation all the time, and they paid into the treasury, through the city court, $2.50 week each, making a total of $50 week, and $2O0 month
 While the gambling act has re- duced revenues $500 month, the peo- pie of the city are heartily willing that it should be so. and fear no ser ious results to the administration of the city government, as the deficiency can be met by otherwise increasing the revenues
