Light-Fingered Expert Tells Why His Kind Prefer Them to Thin
 Subjects to Work On.

Fat men of easy temperament art the favorite prey of the professional pickpockets, according to no less an au- thority than Molly Matches" who his day served time in many prisons in the process of learning to let thin, nervous individuals alone when plying his lawless trade, says the Chicago Tribune.
 Like all "good dips" this particular pickpocket was a respectable looking fellow, who would pass unnoticed in a crowd. He had Lots of experience and knew his business thoroughly. His reasons, as given by himself, were these:
 Experience has taught me that nervousness and fidgetiveness are usual characteristics of thin people when in a crowd. Therefore, they are more apt to turn suddenly around, and take quicker notice of any push or jostling they may receive. have invariably found that such people are constantly on the alert, so that they are not so easily got at as more corpulent and consequently easier going people. It Is deuced sight more difficult to take anything from them without detection than 1t is from the individuals of more extended corporosity, who fall into passive attitudes and reveries that render them quite unconscious of the sly, stealthy hand of the pickpocket.' 2
 This theory is known to all expert police and they govern themselves in acordance with the rule to always watch the fat ones when looking for a "dip."

THE KAISER AS BANDMAsTER
Handles the Baton for One of His Reg iments with the Air of a
 PrOfesSfOnal.

Emperor NNilliam led the band of the Cuirassier regiment lately at Neudeck, near Breslau, one night lately. hand ling the baton with quite profes- sional air, says Berlin report. The incident took place after great ban quet at which the band played. His majesty, together with Prince Henckel von Donnersmarck, Field Marshal von Waldersee and Maj. Gen. von MoItke, passed in front of the musicians.
 The emperor asked the band to play an old cavalry march composed in 1402 and called "Steerdebeker," ;" which Won Moltke, himself one of the finest amateur musicians in Germany, resur- rected and rewrote as a musical curi- osity.
 Thereupon his majesty took the baton and conducted several old Han overian marches. He afterwards

A DISAPPOINTED DOG.
He Was a Hunter and the CashI Ball in the Dry Goods Store
 Fooled Him.

A young lady went into a large dry goods store on shopping expedition having for a companion big, hand some dog. He was a pointer, and the manner in which he trotted sedately along and kept out of everybody's way showed that he was as intelligent as handsome. The young lady having made her purchase, the shop-girl put the check and the money in a wooden ball and sent it along the leash rail- way" relates Golden Days.
 At the first "whiz" the dog pricked up his ears, and the next instant he started after the ball as if he were morally sure it was some new kind oi bird. Past the crowds of Christmas buyers, in and out and between hun dreds of people, the pointer dashed until the ball disappeared from view. Then he looked puzzled and then humiliated, and was coming back to his indignant mistress when the ball came whizzing on it's return trip.
 This time the dog expressed his feel ings by short yelps as he flew after his game, and this time he took the short route along the counter and fetched up in front of the shop girl. leaving behind him trail of dismayed shop pers. Then the ball was given him to investigate, and a more disappointed dog was never seen.

GREEN THE COLOR OF HOPE.
'Of All CoIorS the Most Restfu1, and H. Always Right in
 Nature.

There is always a mystery about Igreen. It is Ireland's color, it is the fairies color, it is supposed to be un- lucky to some particular families, and is regarded with suspicion by others. It is the color said to indi- |cate an artistic spirit; it is decadent land modern. and it is extremely un- becoming to the sallow, says the Lon- don Graphic.
 | And yet, of all colors, it is the most restful,. and. in the correct tints, the most ladylike for dress. The green bedroom overlooking the orchard is the one that lends itself to pleasant
 thoughts and agreeable dreams, that tempts to good humor and repose.
 My lady's boudoir, all hung with l green, reminds one of rustic bow CT, the garden room, opening on to the greensward and the roses, is the coziest room in the house.
 l Green is always right in nature; it is only we poor humans who make a
 mess of it when we try to use it for
 the adornment of our bodies. The
 dark, the muddy complexioned, the
 heavy featured should avoid it like poison; but apple green, willow l green, moonlight green-what mar l velous effects cannot be made out of
 them in cunning hands!
 Green is the color of hope, of youth,
 of spring, of love. The woman who
 can wear green-her own peculiar shade of green-is fortunate.

Goes to Forrest City.

Mir. and Mrs. A. Yarbrough, for twelve years popular and useful residents of Paragould, have moved to Forrest City, where they will, perhaps, make their future home. MT. Yarbrough will go into the brick manufacturing business in that town. Mr. Yarbrough has been engaged in this business in Paragould during his residence here, but several months ago sold out to the Pratt Pressed Brick Go. His removal to Forrest City is a cause of regret by the people of this city, who have long since learned to regard MT. Yarbrough as a useful and progressive citizen. Mrs. Yarbrough will be sadly missed in church circles in which she has been an effective and earnest worker for many years.
 The Soliphone wishes this worthy couple happiness snd prosperity in their new home, with the hope that "they'll come back again.

A large, new line of saddles just re- ceiyed at the Green Forest Saddlery Co.'S
 It has been impracticable for US to ob- tain much of the court doings before we go to press this week. We have learn ed, however, that John Dodgen came clear of the charge of burning Jake Cox's barn, out near the state line, and that the case against George Butler &C., cused of selling diseased meat was mol prosed. These were two ofthe most inn portant cases docketed for this court.
 Work still continues in the Drought mine by day and by night. No halt was made in the least when the contract for the first fifty feet was completed, for Maj. Drought had long since decided nos one else should'do this work but Johns Bay, and accordingly the contract was renewed.without any controversy what ever. It is indeed pleasant for all con- cernedto have work proceedso amicably. The bottom was knocked out of the first fifty feet on Friday of last week. TLse' steam holster has been installed tAis week and every arrangement is being made that the work may not be inpeded in any manner.

Death of George D. Buell..

George D. Buell., one of the oldest and most highly respected old time citizens of this community, passed quietly away at his home, two miles southwest of Green Forest, on Friday, Aug. 18th. He had been in i'll health for long while, having been sufferer from a chronic kidney trouble; hence his death came not unexpected.
 "Uncle George," as he was affection ately known, was in his 76th year, hav- ing been born in Ohio in 1927. He came from Virginia to this country more than fifty years ago, having settled on the place where he died, before the civil war.
 MT. Buell. was devoted member of the Methodist church for many years, and in honesty and morality he was truly man among men.
 He was the father of nine children, six of whom survive him. They are John, James, Tom, Carl, Seamon and Charley, all of whom reside here, except Carl, whose home is at Fletcher, this state. He also leaves wife who is only few months younger than himself.
 The remains were laid to rest in Fair Grove cemetery on Saturday afternoon, services being conducted by Eld. c. T. Edwards.
