! IA CuriO ShOp---The ACadians

BY W. H. DENsoN.

happier things" "All things are dark to sorrow" and the very "repose and beau
 ty of nature seems to the aching heart a mockery."
 Yes. here is the land of the Acadians.
 Driven out by the loss to France of
 Nova Scotia in the middle of the 18th
 century, they emigrated to the gentle cline of the. Attakapas. Without coun-
 try without flag, they lived beneath
 whatever ensign the water lilies of the Teche afforded, and preserved their ale
 glance, their faith and their traditions
 Here at the beginning of the war and
 for years after was the uncnanged | French peasant of the times of Fenelon Bossuet and other French writers. His remembrance of la belle France was tender and true, but it was of that
 France before Voltaire, before Marat
 before Robespierre. before the revolu- tion and the Jacobins; before infidelity
 had seized the French heart and prosti-
 tuted the French intellect. and before
 she had lost faith in all things divine and human.
 The Acadian was gentle and tender in his nature, he loved his home. which was always well kept clean and neat. Born cooks without ambition as to gain of
 wealth or requirement of know ledge,
 they were simple and pure in habits and l home' depending upon the Cure or stroll ing peddlers for news of the outside world. Upon this simple race the war came like the tree of knowledge of evil
 to our early parents. By that conflict
 they came in contact with the world de- sire was generated and ambition was
 aroused Like our first parents they
 have fallen from their first estate, they
 have entered the world and became a factor in it's conflicts
 ' Smoke is no longer seen to curl from

 But he is not so gay, so happy, so holy so pure as when he was the hero of the lariat the gun and the rod. We see in his contest with the world that none are exempt from the trail of the serpent that passes over the fairest flowers that ever bloomed in Eden.
 Acadians, as l leave you, my soul Is mellowed and quieted by the repetition of these words from Evangeline by that ! lofty being whose voice 'is stilr on
 earth, but sounding praises to her Re- deemer in the land beyond the stars. As
 we were leaving your humble homes and

An Annual Outrage.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A pitiful record is the annual list of children dead of lock jaw. as result of using toy play pistols on the Fourth of July. The injury is always the same The internal pistols shoot fragments of copper into the childrens hands. The wounds are trifling as wounds, but their tendency to produce lockjaw is very ter rible Five haphazard despatches in a newspaper, all dated July 15 tell of three deaths thus caused near Watertown New York: three in central Massachu- setts; eight in Cleveland. and add four teen names to the death list by lockjaw in Michigan. The. ages of the children all of them boys-range from nine to fif- teen. What the death list is for the whole country from this cause does not appear. but it is evident that there is a wanton and cruel waste of young life from a contemptible cause. That manu- lecturers should make these deadly toys. lceislators allow their manufacture. and parents permit their use, is astonishing

Volcanic Dust and Insects.

The agricultural authorities at Bar
 bados have been carrying out investiga- tions to ascertain the effect produced by falls of volcanic dust on insect pests and other parasites of the fields. The first
 examination was made after the fall of october 16 last year. to study the results. Taken on the whole, the dust appeared to have exercised but little ef- feet most of the insects having hidden themselves during the actual fall. Ob- servations on the following day showed that the greater number of insects had escaped unharmed. Two winged flies suffered severely, there being notable absence of them after the dust. Wild
 bees suffered in the same way Other groups practically escaped, so that the dust had little effect if any on the pests.

Deformed Reptile Caught In Upper

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 A three foot alligatSc found in a mud pond near the Wabash railroad in Co., lumbia, Mo-, a few days ago is puzzling the Geological Association of Missouri University. The alligator was discovered by Fred Dawson, of Columbia, in a small pond formed by recent rains. The reptile reared it's head near the bank and Daw- son shot it with revolver. He secured the specimen and gave it to the zoologic- al laboratory of the Missouri university.
 The story was not believed at first, as it was thought that an alligator could not have survived the climate in a re- zion so far north as Missouri but when the curiosity was exhibited at the state university all doubts were removed It has been found that the reptile is of ab- normal anatomy, it has largely developed vertebrae. entirely too large and out of

Is This the Country7

From Everybody's Magazine.
 A little band of east side children was waiting in the Grand Central station for the train that was to bear them to the country home of one of the settlements. They were clad in their most brilliant finery for this gala occasion, and the small faces shone with the joy of anti- cipation. One solemn looking little chap of seven, however, stood out in oddly grave relief against the radiant back ground He gazed about him with wide eyes at the marble magnificence of the great depot. at the throng of well dress ed men and women, at the little gayly attired aristocrats. Then slowly he re- faxed into an attitude of happy content- ment, and two small hands were folded in demure satisfaction as he asked soft ly, "Is this the country?'

To RevoIutionlze the Lumber Trade
From the Tacoma News.

From. the Tacoma News.
 Albert E. Brymer. a telegraph operator in the employ of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, has invented a saw tooth that promises to revolutionize the Lumber and shingle industry. The inven- tion is a new kind of a saw tooth, called the planer tooth. that can can be applied to any kind of a saw, and it is claimed will not only save timber, but will plane what ever 1t sawed as smoothly as though the work was done by the planer machine.
 The savings in timber will be very mate rial, as no adjustment is peeded and the cut is only the width of the saw, which is thinner than the ordinary one. The tooth will work to advantage on the upright, circular or band saws. Brymer intends resigning from the railroad and devoting his entire time to the introduction of his new saw tooth.

There is no doubt as to the species but the reptile Is so peculiarly formed that the university authorities are of the opinion that they have a rare curiosity of unusual scientific importance. A number of offers have been received from curiosity seekers but the specimen will be retained as the property of the university.

Of Interest to Mercha nts.

A correspondent at Irvington, H., writing to one of our ex- changes, gives some very pointed facts about mail order houses and how to lessen their trade, and how some merchants hold their customers.
 This is what he says:
 eff our home merchants would advertise their goods properly the large supply houses would find their trade falling off in the country districts.
 '"fhe big department stores advertise and give prices on every article, while the home merchant, if he advertises at all, seldom quotes prices.
 "We like to read in our home paper the prices for which we can buy the goods from our home dealers, together with the des- cription of the goods, so that we may know what we can purchase from our home stores.
 "The merchant, nine times out of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the same grade of goods are sold by any of the big mail order houses, but their customers don't know it.
 "A merchant must not think that even his best customers are so familiar with his goods and prices that he knows all about it before being informed.
 "We can buy as cheap at home as we can anywhere, and it is the merchants duty to educate his customers to that belief.
 "Printers' ink is the great business educator.

money out of his magnificent orchard and he knows the value of it. The fact that MT. Davey refused S10O per acre for his land should silence croakers who have been claiming that land is too high in this part of the county, for the reason that if the land was not worth that money to the owner he would jump at the chance to sell it at the above figures. The value of any kind of land is fixed by what it pro- duces, but it is hard to place 8 value on orchard land that will yield $50, S75 and even S1O0 per acre on a single crop"
 "C. M. Lee, the owner of one of the best and most profitable fruit farms in western Benton county, has recently moved into an elegant new residence on his farm three miles and half south- east of this city. The house contains nine rooms, two halls, several closets and 101 feet of wide porch. It is two stories high, of tasty design inside and out and is plastered.
 In addition to at least 100 acres of peach and apple trees, largely in bearing, and 35 acres of straw berries, MT. Lee is preparing to plant a new peach orchard of 15 acres. The Republican man and Bird Webster visited this model fruit farm recently and enjoyed a walk through the extensive or chard. Mir. Lee is an enthusiast, likes the fruit business and, as he says, Hives in his orchard" :" really the only way to get the best results. That he succeeds is evidenced by the fact that in the last two years he cleared So 1000 from his fruit, and with the outlook for next year holding good he will probably do as we'll in that one season alone"

Stepped Against a Hot Stove.
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benso

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against a hot stove which burned him severely. The child was in great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify him. Remem- bering that she had a bottle of Chamberlain's 8 Pain Balm in the house, she thought she would try it. In less than half an hour after appling it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs Ben son is we'll known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic liniment and especially valuable for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains. For sale by the Green Forest Drug Co.

IS well known, opposition to the state work has been championed by Eds. Bogard and Clark, editors of the Arkansas Land- mark Baptist, which resulted in the organization of the general association two years ago. Since which time negotiations for terms of peace have been carried on. Committees from the two bodies finally agreed upon stated terms of peace and the general association adopted them. Itre- mained for the state convention to ratify before coming effective, hence much interest centered on this meeting.
 The state convention, after analyzing the correspondence between the two committees, come to the almost unanimous conclusion that the whole corres- pondence and peace terms as agreed upon was only a piece of diplomacy. In fact, each com- mittee had given public utteran- ces showing that each held wide- ly different views and interpreta- tions upon the correspondence on which they based their terms of peace. Indeed, the language of the terms of peace was easily susceptible of two interpretations, hence the whole thing was re- garded by the convention as a bandying of words and if adopted would only complicate matters and would even inject new issues into the controversy.
 To adopt the terms of peace from the standpoint of the gen eral association would mean the with drawal of cooperation from the Southern Baptist Convention and the abolition of the office of missionary secretary, whose duty it is to push the work of state mission; and to invite attack upon the Baptist schools of the state. It meant the stepping out of line with the Baptists of the south and the world. After reviewing the whole correspondence the convention disposed of the ques- tion by inviting the cooperation of all Baptists of the state who could consistently do so on the old time plans that have been in use in the state for more than half a century. Only one vote was cast against the final deci sion.

 For example, we will say that a ssm Green Forest to Eureka

 oubtedly enough patronage will De had outside of the stockholders / keep the line in repair and pay bperating expenses. When the

 epresent just so much clean profit to the share holders.
 The rate to the general public night be made 15 cents, which is ) 40 per cent reduction on the prices now charged, thus making 7he inducement stronger for the Aking of stock.
 While at Leslie last week, we Inquired into the Reich system, which has placed the phone rates In Boone, Marion and Searcy Pown within the reach of the people, and some of the ideas Puggested was caught from the manner in which the Reich system poes business.
 Our article of two weeks ago bn exc essive rates and discrimin- Pdon on prices between certain places has awakened quite an in- terest in the subject of needed re- forms in the long distance phone business, and it is after a talk with some of our leading business |nen on the subject that we have Concluded to agitate the con- Ptruction of an independent line between here and Eureka Springs. THE TRIBUNE publishers Will take a liberal share of stock pm the basis suggested, and a Pumber of other Green Forest eltlzens will take hold of it. We believe that the only thing neces- Pary to have such a line put in in Fhort order is for some one to [ake the leadership and presents me matter to those who know what fuch an enterprise would be worth 10 the communities touched by fhe line.
 Wherever there is not a mon- Ppoly held upon the g-distance RRnone business, as there is in EMs county, liberal rates are af- Pofded, such as to encourage the Bs fse of phones in every variety of Puslness and even for pleasure.
 Such an enterprise as we have suggested, wherein a large ma- Poflty of the people who use pnohes now are interested, would succeed regardless of the rate
 la9 the present line might put
 a.o effect. People who never Slse just and equitable terms to
