Soon after We were locked I was

received an envelope addressed to
Nelson Brentwood and letter from
the agent asking me to sign the com

ward It with other enclosures. The In
closures were an unreceipted bill Of
Nelson Brentwood for handing him
i've plates of soup Mt $1,000 a plate

cation was a humble apology for tax
ing him to Europe against his will.

When I returned on the next trip l
got the explanation. Brentwood was
q graduate OF -- college and during
vacations had waited on table at sum-
mer hotels. He had studied law and
was a brilliant but unsteady man.
He had been employed in case in
which he was the one man living 80
well posted as to handle 1t successful
ly and was sure to win. The opposing
counsel had given him a supper the
night before the trial, got him drunk
and shanghaied him, paying large
bride to some of the company's serv-
ants aboard my ship. The affair cost
the company $4,000, besides my bill
for having first class lawyer for a
waiter. #. A. mitchell.

There is an impression in well in
former military circles that the en-
actment Of the general staff law and
General Breckenridge's and connection
with the legislation were potent fac
tors in bringing about the change OF
plan. General Breckenridge would not
have retired under ordinary conditions
until Jan. 1905 General Lu1ington

inspector general and would have re

YOUNG man start into life with a
high ambition. Kick at the moon
if you break your suspenders. And
don't go about anything mealy
mounted. If you ask a man for a
job DO so just as il you were born
into this world to have position
and were earnestly seeking it, If
you expect to reach anything high
aim high. You can never become a
railroad president if you have no
higher ambition than to dig pota-
toes, yet you may dig potatoes all
right, and go from there to the pres
idency if you have the barrel Of
your ambition sighted high enough.

NINE YEAR OLD BOY
 SPRAYED TO SWIFTON.

A great deal of excitement was oc- casioned here Friday and Saturday by the Swear old son of L. A. Bland, who lives north of Walnut Ridge, getting lost. He left home on horseback to hunt some cattle and kept on. The first night he stayed at James Frey's place four miles east of Walnut Ridge, and next morning was put on the road home and taken part of the way, but soon turned aside in the woods. Telephone messages were sent out and he was traced south. He aban- doned the horse and finally found a home in the family of Anderson West, near Swifton, to whom he stated that his father and mother were dead and he needed a home.-W Walnut Ridge Blade.

 TRIBUTE TO HER VOICE.

Under the caption of ssA Tennessee Singer'' the Nashville Banner con tains letter from Ex-Governor Robt. l.. Taylor, the noted lecturer of that state, in which he pays high compliment to the sweetness of Mrs. Champ Simpson's voice.
 Mrs. Simpson has become an Arkan- san by adoption and the only portion of the article we would find fault with lies in the heading of the Nashville paper, which our own pride insists should be changed to s'An Arkansas Singer"
 Following is the letter of Bob Taylor to friend:
 Mrs. Lillian Neal Simpson, daugh- ter of my lifelong friend, Col. Tom Neal of Dyersburg, Tenn, sang for me not long ago, and in her song l heard music as sweet and tender as was ever breathed from human lips. In every note there was the rapture of love and the pathos of tears; ill every trill there was a warbling bird and in every swell of her voice the dim shadow tone of an invisible harp. l was waited to the heaven of the beau tiful whose rivers are songs, whose continents are dreams and upon whose shadowy shores the surfs of phantom seas forever break. And I said thank God for the musicians of the world :; they are it's honey bees, it's song birds it's ministering angels.
