FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN,
FIoored in SpelIino.

Short Stories: DR.. Vaughn, for many
years head master at Harrow, once
had an amusing encounter with a
small boy who carried off the honors
of the occasion. The incident greatly
pleased the doctor.
A frightened child named Dodd was
brought before DIR. Vaughn, charged
with some dire scholastic offense.
"What is your name?" asked the
master, with due severity.
"Dodd, SIR" answered the trembling
boy.
"Dodd! Do you spell it with one a.
or with two?"
No, sir; three" answered the boy.
The doctor put his head upon the
desk, covered 1t with his hands a mo-
ment, and then dismissed the dam
gerous criminal with a warning.
He said afterward: Il could no more
have punished that boy than I could
have flown. Nobody before ever gave
me such a lesson in spelling
A law has been approved in Spain

The Rest Cure.

Pittsburg Dispatch: After work comes
rest. When they alternate perfectly a
man may prepare to enjoy real happiness.
When they alternate perfectly a man will
enjoy both the work and the rest tina
follows Ii.
Nature is a just old lady. She seldom
gives q man more than he needs. IL he
elects to live a lazy life she lets his mus
Giles get fabby and his brain go sleepy.
She never permits him to long possess a
faculty or a nerve or a muscle or q sinew
that he does not use.
The proper way to keep your muscles or
your brains is to use EN- up and let ma
ture provide you with a fresh supply.
Nature is assisted in this work by rest.
One may rest sometimes by seeking a
change in labor. Labor thus becomes q
neutrality-suspicious..
To live happily In this world II is not
enough to know how to work; a man must
also know how to rest. The man who
knows only how to work will soon wear
out. II he doesn't wear out Immediately
his work will suffer in some way. No
man can do his best work unless he AL
ternates 1t with a little play or a little
rest.
A man who can't drop his work from his
mind as readily as he can drop his tools
from his hands had better take a few
weeks off to study the rest question. His
nerves are not what they should be.
If a man wishes to keep his nerve let
him avoid nerves,

E. n. Lake Indicted.

The federal grand jury at Little
Rock has returned an indictment
against f. II. Lake, who was president
Of the Alphin & Lake Cotton company
of FL Dorado and Little Rock. which
failed for over quarter of a million
dollars something over a year ago
The failure of this firm caused a big
sensation and numerous other busi-
ness interests were affected. notably
the Bank of Little Rock and several
railroads The latter were caught for
large sums on bills of lading alleged
TO have been falsely issued While
the bank paid all depositors in full,
it never resumed business. The in
dictment against Lake in the first
count charges him with filing a sched-
ule of the assets of the company In
which he swore that the only money
on hand was S100. whereas in truth
and fact the said corporation then and
there had on hand, and in its posses
sion and under its control" the sum
Of $3.50. 900 lawful money of the Unit
charged that the schedule did not CON
tain a statement of all the property
of the Alphin & Lake company. but
that the company had other valuable
assets unmentioned in the schedule.
snd that Lake knowingly and fraudu-
lently made a false oath and account
in relation to the proceedings in bank
ruptcy. In the second count it is
charged that after the Alphin & Lake
Cotton company had been adjudicated
bankrupt by the bankrupt court of
the United States. that Edward II.
Lake on the 5th of May, 1908, know
ingly and fraudulently concealed from
Robt. L, Douglass, who had been ap-
pointed trustee for the Alphin & Lake
Cotton company, property belonging
to the assets of the bankrupt corpora
tion amounting to the sum of $780,
600. The third count charges that
Lake committed the crime of perjury
when he made an oath before Notary
Public James Fl. Stevenson that 500
was all the money the said corpora
ton then and there possessed, which
statements, so the Indictment charges.
were unlaWfully, knowingly and
fraudulently made, and the said de-
fendant then and there did not be-
lieve the said statement so made by
him as president TO be true"
