Korean Seesaw.

Korean girls are fond of playing
at seesaw. A bag full of sand
about foot in thickness is placed
on the ground. Across this is placed
a plank, and stretched alongside at a
proper height for the children to
grasp and steady themselves is
rope.
The young Koreans do not sit
down, as English and American
girls would do, but stand erect on
the ends of the plank. One gives an
upward spring and as she alights on
the board gives the other skyward
toss, who, as she alights in turn,
throws the first girl aloft a little
higher. And so the sport goes on
until in their upward flight each girl
is thrown two or three feet into the
air. Frequent rests are necessary,
but the pastime is the occasion of
much merriment.

OPERATORS IN
INDIA BUSY

Lima, O., Aug. 12.-Despite the
most bearish indications the oil
operators in Indiana are continu-
ing to gamble at the game of crude
oil, while the operators across the
border, in Ohio, are quitting in in
verse ratio. Indiana shows no let
up, and the optimistic air is now
beginning to gather over the field.
After August steady advances
may be expected in crude oil quo
tations, for the consumption of re-
fined oils has it's inceptions as the
evenings slowly grow shorter.
This has been the history of Pc
troleum, and as summer is waning
the operators who have been up
against the low market are con-
templating richer returns.
Practically all the crude oil on
top of ground has been sold right
up to the day of the runs. The
purchasing agency in this city
alone bought 10000 barrels yester-
day, as On that day the Ohio and
Manhattan unloaded. There is
now practically no crude in stor-
age. The Standard has it all, and
operators sell by the tank in fear
of one or more sudden downward
movements before the reaction
finally sets in.
The wells in Ohio and Indiana
for the past week, with their I'M
tial production, were divided be-
tween the two States as follows:

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food ,is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet. however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DIR.

The Kind Chinese.

The Chinese never punish an an
imal; hence mule that in the hands
of a foreigner would not only be use
less but dangerous to every one
about it becomes in the possession
of a Chinaman as quiet as lamb
and as tractable as dog. We never
beheld runaway, a jibbing OF Vi
cious mule or pony in China, but
found the same rattling, cheerful
pace maintained over heavy or light
roads by means of a ''tur-r" or
"clock-k," the beast turning to the
right or left and stopping with but
a hint from the reins. This treat
ment is extended to all the animals
they press into their service. Often
have | admired the tact exhibited in
getting a large drove of sheep
through narrow, crowded streets
and alleys by merely having a little
boy to lead one of the quietest of
the flock in front. The others stead

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Blind Mays Singing School Is an
Amusing Game.

One PLAYER must be blindfolded to
take the part of teacher. The rest
Of the party compose the class and
sit in line facing her.
She then informs her class that
they will begin the lesson by singing
the scales. The head girl, or the one
at the end of the line, Immediately
sings "Ah" and the next "Ah" a
little higher or lower, just as she
chooses, and so it goes all the way
down the line, each singing a note
in any way that she may wish. The
teacher must listen attentively, and
any time she thinks she recognizes
a voice she stops the class and calls
the singer by name. If she guesses
correctly she changes places with the
pupil, who in turn becomes teacher,
but if not she must keep on guess
ing.
Every time a new teacher is Sc
lected the whole class must change
seats, so that the voices may not be
recognized by the direction from
which they come.
A little variety may be introduced
into the game by singing a well
known song instead of scales, each
pupil singing the word which comes
to her to supply. 1t is the privilege
of each teacher to direct her class
to sing whatever she may choose,
either song or exercise.

a wonderful showing, and excite
ment is still on there, with even
women investing in oil properties.
Then good wells were added to
the list, and on the famous Cecil
farm another 250-barrel gusher
was drilled. The older counties,
and those outside the deep-pay
drilling, are showing no indica-
ton of new strikes, but a number
of paying wells were drilled in
various parts of the State. The
new work for the week, with the
initial production of the wells,
was divided among the following

How to Make a Flute.

A little flute from which a good
deal of amusement may be derived
can be made by wrapping a piece of
paper around a pencil to make a
tube. Paste the edge fast, and to
one end of the tube fasten a TRAN
gular piece of paper somewhat lar
ger than the opening. To play the
flute draw in your breath through
the open end of the tube. The diff
ference in pitch will depend upon
how hard you breathe.

While indications point to bet
ter things in the high-grade fields
there is little hope for better
prices IN the far West. The Stand
ard has not rushed pipeline build
ing in either Kansas or the Indian
Territory, and they are not car

hoped. In these fields an opera
tor is assured of a check for every
barrel of oil he can produce, but
in the Western fields many opera

POPE COUNTY PROTESTS.

The Democracy of Pope county has registered a protest against holding county and state prima- ries on the day preceding Sunday. The reasons are set forth in the following resolutions adopted by l the county convention at Russell vile:
 Whereas, Most of the counties in this state usually select the uniform day adopted by the state convention as the day to nomi- nate county officers as well as state officers; and
 Whereas, There are usually more or less interest and excite ment over all elections; and
 Whereas, In many of the town ships and wards in this state the vote is so large that it is impos- sible for the judges and clerks to count them before midnight; and
 Whereas, The day following all general elections is usually taken up in obtaining informa- tion as to the result of the elec- tion, etc., and
 Whereas, We as Democrats are believers in the proper ob- servance of the Christian Sab bath, therefore be it
 Resolved, That our delegates to the state convention be in structed to use their influence and vote to have the uniform day for the purpose of nominat- ing state officers and holding township conventions, etc., be some Wednesday, instead of Sat urday.
 The protest is a righteous as well as sensible one, and though the next primary is two years in the future we hope that the state committee will heed the protest of the Democracy of Pope county.

ROUND WITH REPORTER.

 For Him.

Hot Springs, April B. Last
 evening Ernest Baxter, a report
 CT for the Thomas Cat, a humor-
 ous weekly publication, sent up
 his card to an Englishman by the name of Kennedy, at the Hotel Eastman. Baxter was received by Kennedy, and after stating his business.was to solicita write up for the Thomas Cat, MT. Ken nedy, 1t is alleged by Baxter, locked the door of his room and proceeded to tell what he would do to reporter who would write him up in the style other guests of the hotel had been written up. This precipitated a fight and in the mix-up Baxter grabbed a water pitcher and crashed 1t over the head of the Englishman, cutting the scalp in several places. Kennedy unlocked the door and let Baxter out but later, after his injury had been dressed, he met the reporter in the lobby and renewed the fight, giving Baxter a bruised eye. Baxter swore out 3 warrant for the arrest of Ken aedy in a justices court.

COMMITTEE IN CHARGE.
Meeting of Citizens Friday Night toaArrange for Gathering of
 Arkansas Travellers.

A meeting Of the buSlneSS ana professional men of Newport was held in the parlors of the Hazel Hotel Friday evening, to arrange for the entertainment of the Ar kansas Travellers, at their meet ing here in May.
 The selection of our city for their first annual conclave is ap- preciated by our people, who ex- pect to demonstrate their hos pitality in no half hearted manner The drummers must lbe well taken care of and have nothing to regret in the selection of New port, is the unanimous opinion of our best citizens.
 The meeting Friday night was an informal one, presided over by A. G. Andersen, with P. H. VanDyie acting as secretary. The latter was instructed to no- tify the chairmen of the several local committees, appointed re- gently and published below, to urge upon the members of these committees to attend the meeting called for Monday at 7:30 p. 11,, at the Hazel Hotel, to complete arrangements for the convention.
 The grounds in Chastain's ad- dition will probably be secured for the ball gams and the opera house will be prepared for the ball.
 It is estimated that the ban quet will probably be attendedb by 400 people, which will make the cost of this one item in the neigh borhood of S400, and to properly take care of the meeting, will re- quire a subscription of $500.
 As good a town as Newport should have no trouble in raising this amount without working a hardship upon any one and we hope our people will respond lib- orally. The hotels and boarding houses will take care of the visit ors, who expect to pay regular rates, and the citizens can well afford to be generous in their contributions.
