tails are SO cold. Mother Mouse" the
little mice cried all together.
That day Mother Mouse stood in the
door of the mouse hole, which came
out Just under the dressing table
where n dear little girl was being got
ready to go to town. Nurse put on
her blue velvet coat and her blue silk
bonnet, then gave her her little white
fur collar and muff. "Oh. me" sighed
Mother Mouse. "If only I had muffs to
keep my poor children's tails warm"
So then she went to the dream mouse
and begged him to give the little girl
a dream about It.
"Say it over and say 1t Slow" said
the dream mouse Maybe l can re-
member about half of it."
But the dream mouse remembered
every word, and next day the little
girl asked mamma for some white
flannel and some white velvet, out of
which she made six little muffs and
sha red them over her finger. These
she dropped down at the door of the
mouse hole. The next day they were
gone and the dream mouse brought
her a dream, which was true. of those
six little mice following their mother
to Sunday school, each with his tail
:urled over his back and pretty white
nun to keep 1t warm. The little girl
laughed In her sleep to see how those

BALD KNOB TO PARIS.
Indications Are That the Iron Mountain Will Soon Build a
 New Line.

Bald Knob, Feb. IA. The in- dications are that the Iron Noun tain will start to work some time soon on the proposed road from here to Heber, Cleburne county, and go on to Russellyille and to Paris, Logan county.
 A prominent railroad official was here a few days ago and made an overland trip to Heber. The building of the road has been talked of a long time. It would be worth a great deal to Bald Knob and White county. The road would pass through some o1 the finest farming and timber lands in the state.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY
 WILL ATTEND.

Little Rock, Feb. IA. The date of the regular spring reunion of the Scottish Rite class had been set for April 21-22. A telegram has been received by Charles E.. Rosenbaum, sovereign grand in- spector general, from Sovereign Commander J. D. Richardson requesting that the date be changed to May 16-18, which will be done.
 The reason for the change is that Commander Richardson, Rear Admiral w. s. Schley and a party of eighteen other distin- guished Scottish Rite Masons will come to Little Rock May 16 in a special car for the purpose of at tending the reunion.
 Elaborate preparations will be made for the reception and en- tertainment of the distinguished guests. This will be Admiral Schley's first visit to Little Rock.

COIN HARVEY'S ROAD
Causing a Merry Little Railroad
 War in Arkansas.

Rogers, Feb. IA. A merry lit tie railroad war is now on in Washington and Benton counties. Two short line roads to connect with the Frisco and the Kansas City Southern are being project ed. On the Frisco the starting points are Springdale and Rog CTS, while Siloam Springs is the objective point for both roads on the Kansas City Southern.
 Coin" Harvey is the father of the line to be built from Spring dale, and it will be an extension of the line that at present cen meets Monte Ne with Lowell. The road from Rogers is backed by the Rogers board of trade and they have their charter already on file.
 As Rogers and Springdale are only ten miles apart it is scarcely probable that both will be built, and the first to commence work will be the winner. Rogers al- ready connects with the Kansas City Southern at Gravette, while twenty mics south there is a line from Fayetteville to Vest vile on the same road. Surveys have been made for both roads and committees are out soliciting the required bonus from inter- mediate points.

ROBERTS ELECTED.
Results of White County Primary
 Held Saturday.

Searcy, Feb. IA. The Demo X cratic voters of White county held a primary election Saturday sr the nomination of a county ticket. The election passed off quietly and only a fair vote was boiled. A majority of the pre- cincts, including the boxes lat Bradford, Bald Knob, Griffith Mile and Judsonia, have been heard from.
 For representative, two to be nominated, John V. Roberts leads the next man, H. A. Smith, by about one hundred votes. A. J. Bell and R. J. Crisp follow in the order named. It is not probable that the remaining townships to be heard from will change the present status, and it is likely that Roberts and Smith are the nominees.
 For county judge, c. S. George leads his opponents by fair sized margin. For treasurer, Sandford Rogers has a big lead, and probably gets the nomination.
 Marion Davis is believed to have won for assessor and Sol Moss for surveyor.
 For sheriff, circuit clerk and county clerk there was no oppo- sition to the present incumbents.
 White county will vote on March 26 on state officers. No state issues were drawn in the primary today.

The bride is an exceptionally handsome brunette of 19 summers, highly accom- plished and admired by all who know her for her pleasant man. ners and winning ways. The ceremony will be performed by Rabbi Wolsey of Little Rock. M. Palez and Leo Bott and daugh- ter of Little Rock will be among the guests. l"

SQUIRREL HEAD
 WINS NOMINATION.
Defeats Former Representative Who Had Endorsement of
 Governor Davis.


 Clarksville, Feb. Is. A heavy vote was boiled in the Johnson county Democratic primary for district and county officers today. The interest centered primarily in the race for representative. There were two candidates, A. M. Ward, editor of the Johnson county Herald, and Hon. B. F. Wofford, who represented the county in the last house. In the speeches made by him in this county, Gov. Davis took occasion to oppose Mir. Ward, and on this account the race for legislative honors assumed additional inter- est.
 The returns tonight, while not complete, are sufficient to indi- cate the nomination of Ward by majority of between 300 and 400 over Wofford. In this (Spa- dra) township, 450 votes were polled and the count is necessa- rily slow. At this hour, of Ill votes counted, 95 are for Ward and IS for Wofford. Partial re- turns from Howell township give 37 for Ward and 19 for Wofford. The complete vote of Red Lick township gives 63 for Ward and 8 for Wofford. If the same ra- tio obtains in the other precincts, it is clear that Ward will have at least $50 majority.

Mena, Feb. 13. Gov. Davis and J 9ge Wood, candidates for governor, spoke in the court house in this city this afternoon to an udience of over one thou sand people from all parts of the county.
 The speaking commenced at 1 o'clock and was opened by Gov.

Governor Davis, when he finished his speech, retired and was followed by a small crowd of his friends.
 A large part of the crowd was composed of farmers and labor CTS, and they remained to hear Judge Wood. The latter re- viewed the official record of the governor, and was frequently cheered. He held the attention of the crowd to the end, and in the course of his speech outlined \ the policy he would pursue as & &governor.

Development company built a canal.
taking the water out of Pine river
| about four niles above bayfield,, and
,, extending two miles southwark to Val
lejo. Besides the main line there are
/ fourteen miles Of laterals. This can
al represents great expenditure and
| is designed to water from 1000 to lO.-
600 acres of land. The land has al
| ready been taken up by settlers. many
| of whom have taken up their residence
thereon and are now engaged in clear
ing the land OF the sagebrush. plow-
crops next summer. The water is
sold in perpetual rights to the settlers
A conservative estimate of the value
of this land, when II has water ON IL,
is $40 an acre, so il will readily be
seen that when the whole area which
this canal Is capable Of irrigating shall
come to be farmed, 1t will mean a
vast increase in the wealth of this
section; increase in agricultural and
kindred pursuits and increase In popu-
lation. Ten thousand acres heretofore
covered by sagebrush will be convert

LUMBER INDUSTRY.

The lumber industry has been active
until the last few weeks. when some
of the mills began to feel the effects
Of the depression in districts affected
by strikes. The Biggs Lumber com
pany alone built 80 miles of railroad
south from Lumberton, and various
other companies have built spurs that
would measure many miles in the ag.
gregate. These railways and spurs
are essential to working with facility
on the large scale habtual with these
mills. These mills find market for
their lumber in Denver and many 9th.
er points in the state. and great deal
OF II goes east, south and west. This
activity has created continual de-
mand for common laborers. and at no
time during the year has there been
occasion for laborer going idle for a
single day.
