PRoBABLE oRIGIN oF STORY.

How such a story could have originated is not plain, unless it grew out of a misstatement in regard to a loan made last fall by Charles Wilmans to the state board of charities. MT. Wilmans exhibited to the editor a Little Rock exchange for $1000 on the Bank of Commr rec issued on Oc- tober 5, 1903, Oy the Arkansas Bank & Tru~5 Company in his favor. This paper had been en- dorsed by Jeff Davis and made
 payable to the Board of Chari- ties for the purpose of defraying' expenses of deaf mute institute for ensuing term" and had been received and cashed by the sec retary of the board.
 An evidence of the indebted ness was made by the board in a paper signed by the several members promising the payment of the loan with six per cent in terest on or before March, 1905.
 AS this loan, manifestly and beyond all controversy went to the support of the deaf mute in- stitution, any further investiga- ton as to its origin, would be uncalled for and irrelevant.

STATEMENT FALSE.

At a meeting of the Wood club in Little Rock Tuesday night w. B. Smith, an attorney of that city, in discussing the pardon of Bob Simmons, said that the gov- ernor on January l had borrowed $1 ,000 from the Arkansas Bank & Trust Company, endorsed by Mrs. Robt. Simmons and Charles Wilmans, claiming that this can be construed as nothing short of an acceptance of a bribe. "
 There is no ground for such a statement and the facts alleged are not true, as the telegrams below, which were sent to the parties addressed Wednesday night, will show:

The Sense of Sight.

Like every otler sense, that of sight
improves by use under healthy Econdi-
tons, and therefore the people who
have the greatest exercise of their
vision in the open air under the light
of the sun have the best eyesiSht.
Generally speaking, savage tribes pos
sess the keenest eyesight, acquired
through hunting. Natives of the Solo
mon islands are very quick at perceiy-
ing distant objects. such as ships at
sea, and will pick out birds concealed
in dense foliage some sixty or seventy
feet high. shepherds and sailors are
blessed with good sight.
Eskilnos Will detect white fox in
the snow {, great distance away, while
the Arabs of the deserts. of Arabia have
such extreme powers of vision that on
the vast plains of the desert they will
pick out objects invisible to the ordi-
nary eye at ranges from one to ten
miles distant. Among civilized peoples
the Norwegians have better eyesight
than. most, if not all, others, as they
more generally fulfill the necessary
conditions. The reason why defective
eyes are so much on the increase in
this. country and in Europe lies in too
much study of books in early life and
in badly lighted rooms.
