DRESSED IN MALE ATTIRE,
Two Green Forest Girls Created a Sensation at Eureka Springs.

TWO Gfeen Forest Girls Created g
 Sensation at Eureka Springs,
 Green Forest furnished the characters for 8 sensation last week of a rather unusual char acter and one that has furnished material for the columns of the daily papers of the country.
 Two 16-year old girls, Miss Amy Hyson and Miss Dosha Bailey, took it into their heads to play man and accordingly they secretly clipped each others hair, donned their brothers cloth ing and started out, doubtle ss, to mimic characters of which they had read in some dime novel.
 The vest bound train was flag ged by them at Braswell switch on Wednesday afternoon and they stepped on board, all the same as men, and paid the fare to Eureka Spfings, where they stopped for the night, taking lodging at restaurant on Mud street.
 Thursday morning they started out to do some shopping to com- plete their attire and transact other business necessary to the journey upon which they imagin- ed they had started. At the Commercial Bank they sought loan of S10, but found that their credit was not established there, consequently they could not be accommodated. A pistol in the window of a barber shop caught their eyes and they undertook to make deal but deferred the matter after making an examina- tion of the weapon.
 After viewing some of the sights of the town the couple returned to the depot Thursday morning and inquired when they could get q train out for Seligman. Being informed that they could not be accommodated until 3 o'clock in the afternoon they started out toward Seligman on foot.
 Their actions at the restaurant had caused the proprietor to sus- picion that they were girls, and he reported the matter to the police who started on their trail, arrested them at the "Y !" two miles below town, and returned with them to police headquar- ters. Realizing their predica- ment they confessed and their folks were at once notified by tel ephone and Ed Hyson, brother of Amy, took the deserted clothing of the would be run -a-Ways and went to Eureka Springs at once.
 
 The couple were held by the po- lice until they were again clad Tn the garments of their sex, when they were permitted to leave for home.
 When the facts were made public at Eureka Springs the curiosity of many people was aroused to a high pitch and the police headquarters were thronged the entire day by per- sons trying to get a peep at the prisoners.
 Miss Hyson is daughter of Mrs. Anna Page who resides ln Green Forest and is 8 girl above the average in appearance ana is not lacking in the matter or intelligence. Her reputation so far as THE TRIBUNE knows was considered good. When thls rna-a-way was planned and ex-

TWO POSES WHITE.

I walked on the hillside. silent yet,
In the break Of day and the grass a-wet
with The morning dew.
There on my left and here on my right
Lay the sodded mounds with their
marble white;
And the grim old church from the crest
looked down,
With solemn and regretfuI frown,
As a sentinel in watch DER those
Who slumbered there in long repose-
I stopped to read upon each stone
The names Of some might have known
In years agone.
Then did I sec that one lone spot
Lone and dFesry. but years had not
Covered its saeredness so deep
But I might come alone and weep
A sorrowed tear; or on that grave
Place the poor offering I gave.
Now, after years have gone. lay
These roses fair and white-but stay,
I'll leave but one
Two will not be for thy sweet rest
More honor than this one, and lest
Old memory may perchance forget,
III keep the one and essrish it.
III keep the least OF these fair two
The other I viii leave with you
Now as I turn to wend ny. way
I family hear that song sweet lay
That she full Oft hads sung.
Ioossad upen the lone rose there
So was her life once just as fair
An uncontrolled teardrop welled
And fell upon the rose I held.
Mine wet with tear and thine with dew
This one white rose leave with you.

CTORS AND 0MENS-~S UPERSTITIONS0 Of THE STAGE

Formerly they were clsssed as 'divi-
nations. clearly meaning that divine
Influences were thus communicated.
From the very earliest times omens
were made use of as divine signs, and
this is literally the definition Of the word
superstition. which is nothing more than
a standing still over something amazing,
and hence a reverent fear Of that which
is unknown OF mysterious. The signs
still are with US. although We no longer
have a public board Of augurs to inter
pref them for US. as Il the days OF an
cient Rome. We no longer eaDs.d =

meaning either success or disaster from
its direction
Neither do we seriously study the
croaking Of frogs CT the method ofzsnif-
fng the air by a herd OF oxen; but many
! former "divfnations" have been used by
the thinkers of today in their explana-
tons of modern scientific truth, and the
researches of our wise men are more in
line with the kindred workings Of an
cient sootnsayers and asuoIogers than
we are wont to believe.
I I rejoice in my soperstittons, and

point OF view. Louise was listening most
of the time TO Penrhyn- Mr. Croker

afraid OF doing the wrong thing to do
more than look uncomfortable and

But when he reached the top he al

He turned to the north end of the
