Arkamsan al Oxford.

Fayetteville, Oct. 2. Neil Carothers left Saturday for Ox- ford, England, where he will re- sume the third year of his co,7rse as a Cecil Rhodes scholar in the rOxford University. While here MT. Carothers took his examina- tidn and secured a B. A. degree from the University of Arkan- sas. MT. Carothers says that an American student entering Ox- ford is astonished and surprised at the, vast difference between English and American college life, although there may be some similarity between Oxford and the greater American universi- ties, such as Yale, Harvard or Princeton.
 One of the most striking diff ferences, Mir. Carothers said, is in the method of studying, the greater part of the. students work being done during vaca- tion, while much of the school term is spent in Paris, Berlin and other places of importance. The character of the work done by the American student, he says, is equal to and in many cases superior to that of the students from England and other countries.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Little Miss Dorothy Bum was six years old last Saturday and in honor of this happy event she sent out neatly written invita- tions to two dozen. of her little / friends to come and spend the afternoon with her to help celebrate this happy day in her life. .-
 The afternoon was one of un- usual pleasure to the house full of little folks, who played all the games dear to the hearts of children.
 Little Miss Dorothy was the recipient of many beautiful presents from her little friends consisting of books, dolls and toys equal to a Santa Claus col lection, and from her grown up friends came silver dollars, birth day spoons and many other useful and beautiful gifts.
 Probably the most attractive feature of the party to the little guests, was the dining room which had been made beautiful with flowers and evergreens, and where delightful ice cream, orange ice and cake were served bountiful]y by Mrs. H. G. Bum and Mrs. Estelle Claridge.
 Upon the departure of each little guest at 5:30 a pretty box of candy was given each, as souvenir of the happy occasion, and which will make Saturday, Septemberr 30 a memorable day in their lives. ~. .-' Those present were Misses Dorothy Bum, Thelma and Mary Frances Hays, Elise Hirsch, Antoinette Bond. Ruth Jacocks, Helen Beard, Lois Drummond, Louise Robinson, Josephine Deaderick, Thadeese Kinman, Frances Bailey, Willie Overton Minor, Jewel Martin, Minnie Bee Sink, Rowena Campbell, Lutie Mae and Dorothy Stephens.

A NOBLE DEED.

Once in Iowa there was a building
called the Drill Factory. One day
it was burning down and there were
fifteen or twenty men that worked
there that did not know it was burn
ing.
One of the young men went and
told all the hands. The owner of
the building was not there and the
one that told the hands risked his
life and went in to get all the USE
full papers and account books that
the man that owned the building
would want.
There was another man that went
with him and helped him some.
This man went out of the building
just atlittle before he did and they
both got out alive and he got the
papers and account books out too.
The building fell in about five or
six minutes after the last man got
out.

A NOBLE DEED.

One summer afternoon, in the
year of 1898 a party of boys went
down the creek to take a swim. It
Was a warm day and the boys were
enjoying themselves, when three
men came down to have a swim too.
They stood on the bank watching
the boys playing in the water when
one boy holder than the others
swan out into the deeper water and
was showing off how good he could
swim. The reason of his good
swimming was that he had a life
preserver On.
He hadn't been out very long
when the string which were holding
the life preserver in place broke
and it slipped down to his feet. AS
he could not swim without it in
place his head went down and his
feet stayed on top of the water.
His playmates could not rescue
him, because they could not swim
One of the men hurriedly took of
his coat and shoes. He then jump.

Dear Sir:
1t is probable that this will be
the last letter and statement you
will receive this year. l take
pleasure in handing to you state
ment of the business done by the
agents for II months of the year
1905. 1t has been a very satisfac-
tory and profitable year through
out. While our losses have been
extremely heavy during the latter
half of the year, yet / feel that we
have not had any more than our
share, and we have no complaint
to make. We have adjusted and
paid o.r losses promptly. Prac-
tically every loss of which we have
had notice is adjusted and paid in
full. This should be a source OF
great congratulation to every ag-
ent of the company, because it is
the promptness and fairness OF
the company that bears out your
recommendation and makes you
friends. No one realizes more
than the agents that represent a
company that does not fulfill its
pledges, is what causes them
trouble with their neighbors.
Very truly yours,
