PARAGOULD HAS
 LOST COMPRESS.
Plant Will Probably be Rebuilt at Forrest City-No Doubt Fire
 Was Incendiary.

Little Rock, Oct. 22.-The Para gould Cotton Compress, which was destroyed by fire Monday morning at o'clock, will not be rebuilt at that place. The new location will prob ably be at Forrest City, but nothing will be done until next year, as it is too late to rebuild for this years crop.
 Advices received yesterday by R. | E. Morris & Co., who were part own CTS of the compress, confirm the re port printed that the fire was of in- cendiary origin. It develops that the entire compress was saturated with 1 oil from one end to the other, causing the blaze to spread rapidly and quick | y devour the press and the 700 bales of cotton stored therein. The loss of | $75, 1000 was correct.
 Nothing was left with which the business could be carried on during the remainder of this season, even the scales being burned.
 This compress did business last year of half a million and would have done much more this season. All of this will now be transferred to Mem- phis and Newport. There are 800 bales en route which will have to be reshipped to Memphis. MT. Morris stated that Paragould was not central enough and that when the press was rebuilt it would be at Forrest City.
 "The fire was undoubtedly of incen- diary origin" said Mir. Morris We'd nesday "the trouble being over the negro labor we imported to work in the compress. These negroes were employed for a special work, which cannot be done by white man in the manner in which the negroes do it. In catching the ties around the bale, the negro has twist and jerk, which puts it just where it belongs in much quicker time than is done by the white men. That was the reason we used negroes"

The happy medium arrived with the advent of ALFRED BEN JAMIN & co. in NEW YORK, to- day the worlds representative makers of ready-for-service apparel for men.

To be shot through the air for distance on
hundred feet is experience which at
first thought the ordinary citizen would decline.
"An right for a circus performer, he would
doubtless say to himself. and then he would
smile to think that he was not quite as much
fool as others
Such a man. however, has never learned now
to skee. He has never slipped his feet into goat 5
hair socks and strapped them fast to couple
of long, narrow. smooth wooden runners He
has never stood on the brow OF the hill with a
long descending stretch of snow below him and
let his skees go And as his speed Increases
till the landscape grows hazy and the wind
sucks his breath out of his lungs, he has never
felt himself rise into the air bodily, and for
tma sail through space if on wings In
word. he has never taken a Jump with skecs."
The sport of sleeing has returned TO the
Adirondacks this winter after several years in
which this form OF recreation seemed to be dying
out Dealers in sporting goods in this city say
that they arc receiving unusually large orders
for skees from up State, where the snow lies
deep, and where the wooden foot runner is best
able to quicken the travellers @>eed. At the
same time the demand for the more cumber
some Indian snowshOe has decreased. Lumber
men in the big logging camps are buying skees
not only for their convenience in crossing path

rious camps meet to demonstrate the champion

them for the fun of it.
Along with the large immigration Of Scandi-
navians 10 the Northwestern States came the
skee from it's native land of Norway and
Sweden. The brawHy descendants Of the Morse
men mingled with the Canadians who came over
the line on their snOwshCes. and they filed them
with envy at the way they glided all around
them on their long, thin skees. The Scandina-
vians who also settled across the Canadian Dor
der took their skees with them, and when the
winter came these Mortimer held their skee
tournaments. just as they were won't to do in
their own frozen peninsula. Gradually the skee
travelled eastward. ard now it is to be seen by
hundreds gliding roiselessIy through the wild
eruess of the North Woods
The advantage Of the Norwegian skee over the
snowshoe of the Indian is that it moves faster
When the average man stands soIidIy on both
feet his weight rests about sixty square
inches. When he stands on skees his weight is
distributed over ten times the area He may
venture on the fluffy surface OF new fallen snow
and yet not sink more than a couple of inches
With snOwshOes he would not sink so far, yet
nevertheless. he would find his progress more
