rnucs store Lights.

Apotl.acaries were once in the habit
of using a red light as a sign of their
trade. 1t so happened one night that a
druggist found himself without the
necessary red light, SO as a substitute
he placed bottle of red liquid in the
window, with candle behind it, He
was so we'll pleased with the effect
that he placed another bottle of red
liquid in another window.
This sign made such a brave show
ing that an enviouS rival cast about
for means of improving the sign. He
hit upon the scheme of placing a bot
tie of yellow liquid by the side of the
red one and then surpassed his previ-
Gus efforts and carried all before him
by placing a green bottle by the side
of the yellow one. The three made a
sign which caught the approval of the
town, and all the druggists quickly fol
lowed in the footsteps of their more
original rivals.
The bottles We're later replaced by
the handsome colored vases which are
now such familiar sign all over the
world

A sticklcr For Etiuuette.

DR.. Thompson, master Of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was an exceedingly
cold and austere man, never taking
much notice of the undergraduates I'M
der his care. On one occasion a Trini-
ty man happened to be out walking
and was caught in storm. He ran
across field and took shelter beneath
large tree. When he arrived there,
he found, to his horror, that DR..
Thompson was beneath it, seeking pro-
lection from the rain. For some time
both stood silent, watching the clouds,
till at last the undergraduate, growing
desperate, ventured to remark that he
thought it was clearing up little.
Sir" said the doctor haughtily, frown-
ing upon the wretched youth, "all COM
munications to the master of Trinity
must be made through the tutors"

The Hospitab1e Yuruk.

Among the qualities possessed by the
Yuruk hospitality is no doubt promi-
nent. Deprived by the very influence
of his adventurous life of all the fierce
instincts which characterize the Turco-
mans, restricted because of his occupa-
lions to the woods, the plains or the
mountains; constantly exposed to the
inclemency of the seasons, to dangers
and enemies of all kinds, the Yuruk
has conceived generous and noble
idea Of hospitality, and he practices it
with Observation-Disclosures and pleasure.
His tent, whether in his presence or
absence, is always opened to the trav-
eler, and food and drink in abundance
are given him. The tents of the Yu-
ruks are square and made of sort of
black wooden cloth.

An Island Of Black Cats.

One of the queerest corners Of the
earth is Chatham island, off the coast
Of Ecuador. This island lies 600 miles
west Of Guayaquil, and the equator
runs directly through it. 1t abounds
in cats, every one of which is black.
These animals live in the crevices Of
the lava foundation near the coast and
subsist by catching fish and crabs in
stead Of rats and mice. Other animals
found on this island are horses, cattle,
dogs, goats and chickens, all Of which
are perfectly wild.

Our Oldest Bit of Literature.

The book of Job, as it is incorporated
In the Bible, is believed to be the most
ancient literary work in existence 1t
is known to have been written prior to
the Pentateuch and prior to the pro-
mitigation of the law. In profane liter
allure the poems of Homer are the
most ancient that have come down to
our day, though the names of others
still older are in existence. The Penta-
touch was written about the year 145
B. c., and the Eomeric poems about
$40 years later.

For a Hundred Years.

For hundred years or more Witch
Hazel has been recognized as a supe.
rior remedy, but it remained for E. G.
Dewitt & Co. of Chicago, to discover
how to combine the virtues of Witch
Hazel with other antiseptics, in the
form of salve. DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is the best salve in the world
for sores, cuts, burns, bruises and
piles. The high standing of this salve
has given rise to counterfeits and the
public is advised to look for the name
"DeWitt" on the package and accept
no other. Sold by Nick Doffing & Co.,

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
IN the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now 'eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the ri
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first a flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the
South than in any other
section of the Union.

desires further information

Too Long For His Bunk.

During the American civil war there
was an assistant surgeon in the navy
six feet four inches high, who was
serving on beard the Penobscot, which
was only five feet eight inches between
decks. The doctors bunk was scant
six feet in length, so that he was I'M
comfortable even in lying down. In
bad weather, on the blockade, when
the spray was breaking over the ship
the doctor was deprived even Of the
comfort of uncoiling on deck. After
considering the matter thoroughly and
remembering that long letters to the
department We're not always read and
not always considered, he wrote as
follows:

Navy:

ON HIS WAY HOME
SENATOR CLARKE COMING FROM
WASHINGTON AND A FEW
GUESSES MADE.
Will Probably Be Selected as Delegate
From Pulaski to the State
Convention.
MAY Be A NATIONAL DELICATE

Senator James P Clark left tie
national capital last night fer Little
Rock and should arrive N tas ely
Wednesday, says the Little Rock Ga
zette. The senator's coming IS un-
derstood in political circles TO nave an
important bearing On the approaching >
election Of delegates to the Democrats
state convention. In each county net
Saturday Democratic county conveu-
ton will be held for the purpose Of
eleeting delegates to the etate con-
venticn.
The work of the state convention
will be important. Not ealy will the
state ticket be declared, but there
will be a declaration of principles, i'll
other words, a platform, and delegates
will be elected to the national con-
vention. There may or may net be an
expression from the body on the pres
idential nomination
Senator Clarke is likely to be one Of
Pulaski county's fourteen delegates to
the state convention, and if custom is
adhered to, he will be selected as one
Of the delegates at large to the ma
tional convention. He is at present
the Arkansas member IF the Democrat
; ic national committee and hi sue
cessor will be elected by the state
convention at Hot Springs Cn the sec
ond Tuesday in June
Thus far little organized movement
has become manifest in the matter of
selecting delegates to the STATE con-
ventlon in the interest of any ona fer
the presidential nomination. There
has been some work in parts Of the
state for Hearst, but it does no. ap-
pear to have developed into a state
justifying a prediction of success at
the state convention.

WEEK OF STORMS
ARKANSAS SUFFERS A SERIOUS
DESTRUCTIVE WIND AND
RAIN.
Wires Are Gown and Property Damage
to the Extent Of Thousands CT
Dollars.
SEVEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED

Last week was week Of storms in
Arkansas.
Wires are still down in the north
western part of the state and the eX-
tent CT the damage to property and
the number of lives lost has not
yet been ascertained The casualties
tnus for reported are as follows:
]. f. Curtis. q prominent farmer OF
Newton county, killed outright in the
storm Of last Friday night.
R. G. Williams. Frank Elenor and
Mrs. F. NJ. Dawlton, Lena Byres and
two other children killed Friday night
by tornado. at GAINESVILLE, Green coun-
ty.
Two negro children killed Friday
night near Solgohachie.
Nellie Began, negro, killed in
wreck of schoolhouse at Fourche Dam,
Pulaski county, in storm of last Tues
day.
The storms began their work en-
Tuesday, doing some damage to signs
and windows in Little Rock and much
damage in parts of Pulaski and ad-
joining counties Thursday and Fri
day night tornadoes swept through
parts of northwestern and western
Arkansas and into Oklahoma The
town Of Mountain Home suffered Sc
verely.
From the meagre reports thus far
received the damage to property will
meunt high into the thousands. The
death list, it is thought, will be largely
Increased when all reports are in. 1t
seems that the list of seriously and
slightly injured will contain at least
one hundred names.
The creeks and rivers in the west
ern part of the state are out of banks
in many places. These floods had an
effect on the election, for in that
part CT the state many voters were
kept away rom the polls by the wa
ter.
