Thirty Sixth Annual Meeting al Little Rock Draws Out Large Attendance of States
 Educators.

The thirty-sixth annual session of the Arkansas State Teachers Association will convene at Keys Institute Tuesday forenoon and will be in session for three days. The delegates are arriving very rapidly in Little Rock, says the Democrat, the advance guard having been Profs. J. w. Kuy- kendall and J. H. Reynolds of the state university, who came Saturday.
 Many others are coming in on every train and the indications are that the unusually large att tendance will fully demonstrate the wisdom of changing the time of meeting from the midsummer season.
 Elaborate arrangements have been made by the local commit mittees for the reception of the teachers, and there are ample accommodations for all.
 The convention will open to- morrow forenoon with the county examiners conference, with Prof. Allen Winham of Miller county as chairman. The high school and college section, of which Prof. J. H. Reynolds is president, will meet in the after noon, and several important re- ports will be received and dis cussed. The welcome addresses and responses and the presidents S address will be delivered Tuesday night.

"A GAMBLER $ DAUGHTER. 2

|. The scenery used in the pro- duction of the sensational melo- drama, "A Gamblers Daughter" which is to be at this theatre soon, presents some wonderfully realistic stage pictures of a num-. Der of famous places which form a part of the history of this coun- try, and which people have heard about and never seen. In the second act is a vivid production of the Chicago Board of Trade. It is a day of panic on change. and fortunes are quickly being made and lost. In the center of the frenzied exciting throng of brokers around the wheat pit, stands the gambler referred to in the title of the play He has in hand a tremendous wheat deal which is being smashed and foiled by some unknown operator who is dealing through another broker. The place is a veritable bedlam in it's turmoil. The gambler Che is termed a gambler because he secretly owns a mag nifcently fitted up Michigan avenue gaming house and not because he is a member of the Board of Trade) sees his owr plans going to ruin and ms private fortune dwindling away
 minute by minute. He is in al
 almost crazed condition to learr
 the apparently giant hand who !
 working against him. He doe
 not know until later that it Is hi
 own daughter, who has familiar
 ized herself with Board of Trad methods and is frightening hir to save him from being success 5 ful in accomplishing his dishones

was famous for his ready wit. 1t is re-
lated in the Connecticut Historical Col
lections:
"A Mr.. Walker and Mr. Reed were
both preaching at Hartford. At the
time a controversy arose as to which
of the ministers should go as mission
airy to the little settlement Of Wood
bury. The men were requested to de-
liver sermons on the day when the
matter was TO be decided. Mr.. Walker
took ms his text, What went We out
into the wilderness to sea reed
shaken with the wind?' He enlarged
upon the propriety OF a reed being
found in the wilderness. Mr. Reed
took as his text. Your adversary the
devil, walketh about seeking whom he
may deyour.' He stated that the ad-

ably be inferred that the Reads come
of noble stock and were rulers of men.
The family has been noted for the
varied photography of its name. For
example, we have Read, Reed, Reid,
Ried, Ride, Red, Rad, Rad, Rheade.
Rheadus, Reda, Rada, Redha, Wrede.
Whrede, Wada and Wrade.
The name was often altered for the
sake of euphony or to suit the idiom
of various dialects. 1t has also been
more or less connected with other
words, making a union of both defini-
tions, as Ethelred. or Reed the Good;
Conrad, or Reed the Powerful; Eldred,
or Reed the Elder.
Among the class of words derived
from the same root are Remus be-
longing to the state; regina, queen,
reign, regnent. regalia. reason and
rhetoric.
The present different methods of
spelling the wcrC arise in a great
measure from fpnvy: there are not
less than eleven 0rthographical forms.
The Puritan form was usually Reade,
but in some cases Reede or Rede. The
Irish form was Reedha, or Redha, from
which came ready" The Scotch
method was Raid. A Bavarian gen.
eral, who fought against Napoleon at
the head of the Bavarian troops, wrote
his name Reid, while a soldier under
Napoleon spelled his name Wrede.
The mode of spelling the name in
this country has gradually assumed
one Of the three following forms:
Read, Reed and Reid.
In Germany the name Is very COM
mon and is abbreviated from Rheda-
rum. Some of the descendants of the
ancient Rhedarfans undoubtedly found
their way to Britain at the time of the
Saxon invasion, and from them the
stock sprung.
Sir Reginald Reed is the first of the
family Of whom there is any account.
He was distinguished on the Border
wars, and upon the edge of Carterfell,
q mountain between England and
Scotland, is Reeds Square, thus named
in honor of the knight.

to exploiting another tradition. which

Another characteristic may be mem
