 A DANGEROUS POSITION.

It was learned from reliable sources tonight that Gov. Davis has concluded to cease attacking the gubernatorial candidacy of At. torney General k. l.. Rogers on the stump. He has given out the state. ment that he will dwell further upon MT. Rogers official record at the Ozark appointment next Tues day, but this attack will be the last. Gov. Davis was advised by his friends that his attacks upon the Attorney General was strength ening Rogers gubernatorIal can didacy and weakening the Govern or's senatorial prospects, and un- less he ceased "butting in" he could expect repetition of the Forrest City demonstration last Thursday from almost every stump

A little child of Michael Strauss, of Vernon, Conn, was recently i'll great pain from burn on the hand. and as cold applications only increased the inflammation, Mr. Strauss came to Mr. James N. Nichols, d local mer- chant, for something to stop the pain. MT. Nichols says: Il advised him to use Chamberlain Pain Balm, and the first application drew out the infiam- nation and gave immediate relief.

INSURANCE IN ARKANSAS.

The Arkansas Methodist IS pub fishing series of editorials on the insurance situation. It is unusual for a religious publication to han. dle these questions. However, there is no reason why such a jour- nal should not discuss matters that are of such great interest to the public, even though they are en- tirely worldly, and it will be ad- mitted that the Arkansas Metho dist has handled the insurance sIt- uation in Arkansas in compre- hensive manner. That journal says:
 "The rate of insurance may be scientifically and accurately de- tcrmined. Competition involving rate cutting below this scientific rate, may easily imperil the sta, bility of the whole system md the interest of each policy holder. Fire insurance companies are sub- ject to many natural risks, and in addition are the victims of greedy and conscienceless incendiarism. Honest business men realize all these difficulties, and prefer to pay far premiums with certainty of indemnity, rather than low pre- miums with poor prospect of re- ceiving aid when loss occurs. In our complex civilization the risk of fire is so great that the most honorable man can secure little credit without insurance to protect his creditors. If the country mer- chant cannot buy goods without insurance he cannot supply the farmer and laborer who depend on him for those things which have become necessities of life. The farmer whose principal wealth is his land, can afford to take the chance of losing his house, which is so isolated that there is little danger from other houses. But the merchant or the man whose all is in his house, dare not take the risk. A fire without insurance would ruin him. Yet in the pres ent situation he may not be able 10 procure safe insurance.

epator Berry Issues Statement,
| ,ftle Rock, Ark, Sept. l6, 1905.
 Senator James H. Berry issued

' HIlC hO1N, ah' fNs aOf itto. 1 Senator James H. Berry issued line following statement today:
 ,I see it stated in newspaper, that Governor Davis has said in q humber of speeches in different Iparts of the State in regard to tho #Arkansas settlement bill that afte, l |the entire delegation from Arkan sas. including myself, had written |Governor Clarke that the bill would not be called up after the |Meiklejohn amendment was added to i; until his return to Washing. l ton, l had tho bill called up con. |,rary to the agreement.
 "The statement is utterly with. Ion, foundation in fact, and directly contrary 10 what the record shows | passed the bill through the Sen. ate twice, once on March 30, 1896. l and on March %, 1897, precisely as It was agreed upon between |Governor Clarke, the secretary of the interior, and especially as |Governor Clarke wanted it passed. "Tho MeikleJohn amendment to which objection was made, and to which Governor Davis now objects Twas not offered in the Senate. but vast placed upon the bill in the House of Representatives; and the | bill was pending in tho House and not in the Senate. Therefore it was | mot possible that 1 could have called it up. The bill was never passed by the House with the Meiklejohn amendment, or with out it, until the Arkansas legisla- Lure had twice voted and instruct. ed the Senators and members of Congress to accept it and pass the |bill with it. It then passed the House and was returned to the Sen. |ate and referred to the Committee |on Public Lands, and was reported back 10 the Senate by me, and the |amendment was agreed, to on the 18th day of April, 1898.
 "This was three years after the Dill was first introduced, and more than year after the Arkansas Legislature accepted it. 1 therefore repeat that II was not possible that
 l could have called up the bill
 after the Meiklejohn amendme ent
 was put on it, for the reason that
 it was not pending m the Senate
 at any time with the Melklejohn
 amendment until It came back
 from the House with the amend.
 ment attached to it, after the legis-
 ature had ratified and accepted it.

needed fire insurance, merchants and houseowners realizing the ter. rlble danger, urgently insisted that fire insurance be exempt from the operations of tho law. Was it fair, was it just for ihe farmers, who cared but little about fire in. surance to force the burden upon their innocent fellow citizens? Is that fulfilling the law of love? Is 1t not possible that, because mo man liveth by himself,' that those who have unnecessarily compelled their neighbors to endure hard ships, may themselves be involved and suffer?
 'lf merchants cannot get credit, they cannot grant it to others. The poor man and the farmer, who makes his crop on supplies furnish ed by the country merchant, may not be able to secure what they need. The rich man, having money 10 buy when and where he pleases, may not suffer. The agitator who could foresee this result deserves no sympathy, but the innocent. de- celved voter who honestly thought he was working for great reform IS entitled 10 our commisseration. Next time he is asked 10 cry out for drastic, untrIed legislation will he remember that those who are stirring him up may be merely seeking his vote so that they may enjoy the honors and emoluments of public office? Some lessons are learned only through sad expe- rience. Must the experience be re. peated!
 "But If fire insurance is really a necessity, it may be argued that home companies will be organized to meet the demand. Let us keep our money at homo by patronizing these companies, Very good. Scores of companies will be re. quired. AS there is little rural in. surance, and our cities and towns have usually inadequate fire pro- lection, these companies, If they do business on safe basis, must charge higher rates than compa. nies with widely distributed risks. If the home companies compete and reduce rates below the scien- tifically established rates they will inevitably fail, and only tho few policy holders, who burn early will be properly indemnified. If they charge moro than formerly there is no advantage except that our own people get 1t. 1.-the same rate as heretofore is charged by taeit agreement, the law will be violated; if without agreement. the trust rate IS justified. The other alternative that a lower rate may be safely secured, and that without agreement, is barely possible, but only remotely probable. However, if the law is heaven-born we must hope for the best.
 "Meanwhile, there is another contingency that must be faced. The next legislature will be elect. ed while the state IS in a ferment over this law, and before tho sit nation has fully cleared. If home companies are not altogether sat isfactory, corrective legislation may imperl them. The very men who organize these companies ear nes.Iy begged the last legislature to let fire insurance alone, but were not needed. What assurance can they have that the next legisla. ture will listen to their prayers or remonstrances? Foreign compa. nies, once driven out and treated as robbers will not be anxious to return"

While / was a pupil in the Jackson

day visited our class, says writer in

parently been in a whispered wrangle

voice loud enough to be overheard,

send, with his unmailed fist, dozen
at time, without warning, to the
shades of the blue bottle. But he
spared chickens, and this bird
learned to perch on his shoulder and
to peck bread from his hand. 1t was
an awkward situation. l took no de-
light in the fowls winning ways and
simply wanted it's flesh and Barry was
of the same mind. Ricarlton at last
proposed a compromise.
"He said that he would take no
share of the bird that We had already
doomed and he would let us have the
first dozen eggs that his chicken
which he had christened Kuroki, in
honor of the famous Japanese general
should happen to lay. We agreed to
this arrangement, but it was most un-
satisfactory, for, although of course

party to the deception, the wretched

fair sort of a business in itself, or at

That's all there was to it. / was
certain of some business and l was
willing to take a chance on the rest.
"And everything went all right. My
daughters gave me all their patronage,
and they used more carriages now
than they ever had before-they said
they wanted to see their father do
well, and l got my full share of the
patronage of other peoples daughters,
and the volume of it was great.
I'm the course of time my daughters
all married and they all did well; very
comfortably, to say the least. Every
one of them now keeps a carriage OF
her own, and keeps it in my stable;
and so the girls, nice girls. every one,
that once cost me so much, though
never begrudged 'em cent of it, now
send me money, every one.
Their business alone is something
tidy, but they are really only a few
of many profitable customers, and

livery business.

I came to go into it, wasn't it?"

In Frederick Villiers' recent book
telling of his experiences with the
japanese forces at Port Arthur he mar
rates an interesting little incident
that occurred the day the correspond
ents first reached the front. They
were quarted in rooms at Dalny which
had been pillaged and desecrated by
the Chinese robbers after the evacu-
alton by the Japanese. He says:

the place habitable. Rations of food
were sent us from headquarters and
our party of ten was soon split up
into messes. Barry correspondent
of the Chicago Daily News), Ricari-
ton, the expert Photographic artist,
and myself, received bread, potatoes
and two chickens. Ricarlton took a
great fancy to one of the birds and,
being tender at heart, would not have
it killed.

many ways and would destroy only

opulent livery stable proprietor, as he

"You see, l had a large family, all
girls, nice girls, all of them, and nat
urally they all had good deal of COM

deal, and to a good many places they
went to they had to have carriages;
and my carriage bill was something
frightful, for me.
81 was doing a fair sort of busi-
ness, very fair, in fact, but l couldn't
by any means afford to keep carriage
myself, and every month that carriage
bill for my daughters used to bite a
frightful hole into my income. And
finally that set me to thinking.

The Miracle of Memory

often is conscious of an effort, and the
brain may be very much wearied in
long continued effort to recall impress
sions which have been partially ef-
faced. The mental effort consists in
energizlng the fbers SO as to make
them project forward their delicate
endings, thus making numerous con-
tacts, perhaps millions, with different
calls, until by and by the particular
cell or group of cells in which the de-
sired word or other impression was
made is recognized. When one Is
weary, it is often difficult, sometimes
impossible, to recall names or data OF
various sorts which may be entirely
familiar. This is because OF the i'm
possibility Of energizing the nerve
cells sufficiently to make the desired
contacts. Anything which benumbs
the nerves, as alcohol, tobacco, tea,
coffee, opium, may have the erect 10
benumb the nervous senslDlilty
and lessen nervous energy, and thus
operate deleteriously upon memory
Memory, however, is perhaps most Sc
riously injured by loss of sleep, where
by brain energy becomes exhausted
Sometimes the memory may be for the
time being almost entirely effaced by
long-continued loss of sleep.
Depreciation of memory in old age
is one of the first indications of fail
ing mental power. 1t is interesting to
note, however, that the memory OF
events which happened in early life
are often remembered, while others
of recent occurrence quickly pass from
the mind.
Charlevoix county herald., 1905-07-29

One of the most remarkable of all
the mental processes is memory. How
are sight pictures and sound pictures
and other impressions stored in the
mind, and how are we able to recall
them? Here, again, we are in the
presence of a wonderful miracle, and
at best we can only seek to make clear
the fact by illustration and compari-
son. There are certain bodies pos
sessed of property known as phos-
phorescence. After having been ex-
posed to daylight for a time, these
bodies give off light in the dark. They
store up certain portions of the sun
beam, and give them off again. This
is a sort of a physical memory. These
phosphorescent bodies simply continue
in the dark that which they do in the
sunlight.
In some way the impressions made
throug hthe eye, ear and other senses
induce such actions and changes in
the nerve cells which are connected
with these organs that under the right
sort of stimulus the same action may
be reproduced, and brought within the
range Of consciousness. This repro
duction of past impressions is secured
through the connection of that port
ton of the brain which is the seat of
consciousness with other portions in
which impressions are stored by
means of the delicate nerve branches
previously described. The numerous
connections of these nerve fibers bring
them in direct or indirect association
with all the different parts OF the
brain. In trying to remember one

four years of weakness, pain and the
misery of thinking his case incurable.

there my system became thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When l was

"How did the ataxia begin?"
"I first noticed pain i'll my ankles
and knee joints. This was followed by
a numb feeling III my legs. AT times
had to dag myself around; my legs
would shake or become perfectly dead.
I had constant trouble in getting about
in the dark. I kept light burning in
my room at night as could not balance
myself in the darkness. Even with the
aid of a light wobbled, and would
reach out and catch hold Of chairs to
prevent myself from falling?"

times for week, again for three or four
weeks at time When / was lying
down the pain in my back was fire.

lief. 1 had considerable pain in my
bowels and no control over my kidneys.
The worst of oil was that the doctor
could give me no hope of recovery"
"How were you cured?"
"I read that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and
one or two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1908 began to take
them for myself and 1 had not used
more than one box before found that
the pains in my knees and ankles were
greatly relieved. Four months after
