 Not wart," grimly responded the Ar kansas Cerberus. "Git back fum thar!' he added as the conductor started forward again.
 ''All right. sonny" but I'll fix you Ar kansas yaps yet" responded the conduc- tor. Just wait"
 For ten minutes the conductor clung close to the Louisiana side of the we'll watching the slack of the dangling rope. The Arkansas guard washed him nar- rowly. The rope swayed gently to and from in the breeze. Then came a sharp puff of wind and the slack swung over on the Louisiana side With a yell of triumph that made the guards cap fall off the conductor grabbed the rope and yanked the bucket safely over on Louisi- ana soil.
 Now you skindle-legged scarecrow for an Arkansas swamp angel, you'll go up in town for your water" shouted the con ductor. This here bucket now belongs to the great and grand state of Louisiana and I'd rather live Louisianner with yell low fever than In Arkansas with Governor Jeff Davisl"

New Orleans September 17.-(Special)- Many stories are told of the ridiculous situations brought about by fear of fever and the ultra-caution of quarantine guards. but one of the best comes from Function City, on the border line between Louisiana and Arkansas, which latter state has been especially rabid against Louisiana. Divided half and half by the imaginary line stands a well, and on the Arkansas side of 1t stands an armed guard ready to annihilate any Louisanian who may venture toe across. A railroad con- ductor, hot and thirsty from a long days run through Louisiana In a screened car, stepped to the well for a cooling drink and finding the bucket resting on the Arkansas curbing, reached out to get it.
 Stand back tharl" yelled the Arkansas guard his hair bristlifS with fright 'Leggo that bucket. Don't you put a fin- ger on Arkinsaw." and he brought his bayonet down to the position of charge"

Young Ross was employed at the furnace as water boy. having only re- gently come to the city from Mobile.

He tried it again. however, missed his footing and fell un- der the wheels, cutting off his arm just above the wrist and one leg above the knee.

on Fridays, when the attendance is usually small. Messrs. GrlsWold or Guilford and southwick of Cromwell also opposed Friday sessions.
 The constitutional amendment allow ing majority vote in the house to send a proposed amendment to the next ses- sion instead of requiring tWo-thirds vote of all the members of the house was discussed by MT. GrisWold. He said the change was voted on in the house two years ago, being ordered to be published in the laws He thought the small towns would be benefited by leaving the constitution as it is at pres ent.
 Senator Bush inquired if the United States senatorship, issue could be dis cussed by the association MT. Warner of Woodbridge thought the issue at stake could be discussed fairly and im- partially and intelllgently. But he should be opposed to the taking of a vote pledging the association to any candidate. MT. Southwick of Cromwell said that the Farmers association could not reasonably discuss the senatorial is- sues. The matter was not before the legislators in the form of legislation. MT. Atwood of Watertown took oppos. &te ground, holding that the senatorship is of the utmost importance. Dr. Levi Jewett of Chatham was opposed to pledging the association to any candi- date. He had received letters from his constituents concerning the United States senatorship. At this point the association was switched off to the con sideration of the Consolidated railway bill, relating to the trolley roads in the state. In a large way, said MT, SouthWick, the Consolidated Railway will serve the state. There may be local Interests that may be encroached upon, He should find it necessary, he said, to oppose the unlimited issue of bonds by the company. That would be objection able, he said from every, point of view, He felt that the running of freight cars on the trolley lines would in a general way, be of benefit. It was, an adroit way that the senator ship problem was passed over. Before the association meeting was held there was a conference in the senate chamber between Senator Paige President Aver i'll of the Farmers association, and i. Representative Southwick. Evasion o1 the discussion of senatorial interests was in the interest of Senator Paige who is making decided headway in the canvas.
