The cutters and the street beyond
out to about five feet from the curb
stone, II broad street, are sprinkled
numerous times day; ifnarrow, the
whole street is sprinkled. Boys in
white jackets are busy all the time
sweeping and cleaning. In every
block there is at least one large box
for dumpings and waste paper and,
what is more. the public has been so
trained that it never throws papers
about.
A strange sight 1t Is to an American
walking down the Strand between 9
and 10 o'clock in the morning to see
the shopkeepers leisurly opening their
iron shutters or gates or the boy only
just beginning to sweep out the store.
The street is crowded, at this late
hour. with men hurrying to their Of
fees. And at $3.50 p. m. many close
up again, SO that the business day in
London Is very short.

Who can walk about in this city
without noticing the wretched-looking
men. women, young girls and little
children standing day In and day out
and often late into the night in the
cutters trying to sell to passers-by a

twisting toy snake or bunch Of flow

those looks of appeal? And yet how

The dewy rose of morn,
And keep the ruby-colored cup,

Retain the flowers golden heart.

of them and hopes to amaze the rest

His only misgiving is the effect on his

When I Go Home

1t comes to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths OF the dong ago;
Always with throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein.
Comes the old. unquiet longing
For the peace OF home again.
I'm sick Of the roar of cities.
And of faces old and strange.
know where there's warmth OF welcome.
And my yearning fancies range
Back TO the dear old homestead.
With aching sense OF PAIN
But there'H be JOY In the coming
When go home again.
When I go home again! There's musi"
That may never die away
And IL seems the band OF angels.
On a mystic harp to play,
Have touched with a yearning sadness
On beautiful. broken strain.
To which Is my fond heart wording
When / go home again.
Outside OF my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn's shadows
Come drifting. drifting In.
Sobbing. the night winds murmur
To the plash OF the autumn rain;
But dream Of the glorious greeting
When I go home again.

Role OF the Hackney Cab.

Role OF the Hackney Cab.
Omnibusses, however, are not the
only means of transportation in Lon
don. The number Of hackney cabs.
lately estimated at between $4,000 and
15,OO0-play very important role In
London street life. 1t Is these cabs
particularly whicn make crossing the
streets dangerous. for they come upon
one Unexpectedly from all directions
and from around unnoticed corners,
at rate that bewilders one, to say
the least. However, the drivers are
more careful here than in most cities.
and they go out Of the way Of pedes-
trians when they see them In the
road, uncertain whether to go back
ward or forward.
We must not forget to mention the
underground railway, for 1t bears a
large share of the burden of London's
traffic; more than 2,00O,000 people
are said to travel ON II every week,
so that the underground does the inn
portant work of thinning out the
crowded streets.
Now add to the thousands and
thousands Of buses, cabs, and delivery
wagons the huge number of private
vehicles owned by the upper thou
sands who flock to the city every
spring-elegant eqWpages with smart
ly liveried flunkies-and imagine the
pell-mell on sunny May afternoon at

PENSION WARRANTS MAILED
 OUT

Warrants for the Confederate pen sioners were sent to the various county clerks by Audio- of State Moore yes terday, sl2 in postage being required to mail them out. Pensioners will pro. cure the checks from the clerk of the county in which they live and give re ceipis to him. The State Auditor takes the receipt of the county clerks for the warrants mailed to them. The pension money appropriated for this year was Sl9S, IFS 3l. A small amount Tn addition 10 the tax was derived from redemptions which, with a balance left over from last year, brought the total amount available for pensions up to S203, 146. This sum, apportioned among the pensioners, left | put ol per cent. of the pension allowed each one and that proportion was sent to each pensioner.-Arkansas Gazette. Those ex-Confederates in this county who are entitled 10 pen. sions, may get their checks from Clerk T. c. Merwin.
 In this connection, it may be interesting to know that if each county were permitted or required to pay it's own pensions, that is to say, each cousty pay the ex Con. federates who reside Tn said eoun. y, St. Francis would be able to pay her old soldiers in full and have a small surplus.
 St. Francis county paid into the State pension fund at the last set. clement S3, 100 98. The amount re. turned to pensioners in this co1u- y was sl, ,499, being 5l per cent. of amount due them.
 Hence it may readily be figured out that if sl ,499 is 5l per cent. of the amount due our soldiers. and we have paid s3,100 99 into the treasury. we could have paid them in full and had S132 96 left over.
