Several tins of paint were found
among the luggage of an Englishman
who was travelling to Monaco. He
was in charge of racing craft and
intended to use the pigment to touch
UP the vessel after its long railway
Journey. The French customs officials,
however, took exception to the paint on
the ground that it contained dutiable
spirit, whereupon the traveller argued
that he intended bringing it back on
leaving the country. Asked how he
was going to bring it back, he replied,
"On the sides of the boat" Even this
plea did not suffice, the authorities ar
guing that the spirit would have evap-

fore He Decame an Actor.
OF the thousands who admired the
acting of John Mccullough few were
aware that ut sixteen he could read,
but could not write, and that at eight
cen he knew absolutely nothing of lit
erature, perhaps not even the name
of the great poet of Avon, whose In
terpreter he afterward became
In after life Mccullough used to
speak gratefully of an old chairmaker,
under whom he worked, for teaching
him two things - "chairmaking and
Shakespeare" In his periods of con
vlviality the old chairmaker was ac-
customed to spout Shakespeare to
young Mccullough, giving a somewhat
imperfect imitation of Forests acting.
1t was this that turned McCulloughs
thought from chairmaklng to the stage.
Yet IN all his after years Mccullough
was proudest of his early craft. On
one occasion, at the height of his popu-
larity, he was the guest of wealthy
Philadelphian. In the midst of the
talk after dinner the tragedian glanced
ut chair in the room, went over to 1t
and, turning it bottom up, said to his
amazed host:

And he seemed prouder Of the fact
that the chair had lasted so long, be-
cause 1t was so well made, than he was

LAKES PENALTY STANDS.
Lakes Trickery In Cotton Will Put Him
 In Jail Unless He Coughs Up.

Little Rock, Dec. 12. The United States circuit court of ap- peals at St. Louis had dismissed the appeal of 'E. H. Lake, who was ordered by Judge Trieber on January "A last to pay into the registry of the court $60,- 953. 72. which it was found he had failed to account for after the failure of the Alphin-Lake Cotton Company with the pro- vision that if he failed to pay the amount within thirty days after the order was entered he should be confined in the Pulaski county jail until the further or der of the court.
 The action of the circuit court of appeals is considered here to be final, and if this is true Lake will be required to fulfill the con- ditions of Judge Trieber's order. This would mean that he would be compelled to pay into court $6O, 954.72 or go to jail to remain until the court should order his release.

DEPARTMENTS ADVERSE REPORT.
Government Engineers Oppose Further Wasting of Public Money on White
 River Locks and Dams.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.- The war department in a letter to congress, holds that St. Fran cis river is not worthy of improve ment, beyond the limits of the present project, which pro- vides for snagging operations; also that construction of further locks and dams in upper White river is not desirable for the reason that the railroad has en- tered the lead and zinc area and afforded outlet for that product. Two locks and dams are already completed in upper White River but the government engineers assert that eleven more locks and dams including three below Batesville, would be required to make the project a success. This would mean a total outlay of more thanp$ s, GOO, GOO.

DlsTRlRUTlvE TRADE EXPANDS.
Springlike Weather Has Decidedly
Beneficial Effect. -7@

p
New York, March 4.-Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade says more
springlike weather has induced expan-
sion in distributive trade at nearly all
centers, relatively best reports coming
from the Central Western markets,
where the number of buyers are large
ly increased. Dry goods, shoes, hats,
clothing and millinery have moved
more freely and farm implements, Ium-
Der and building material have been
In great demand. Iron and steel, as
heretofore, hold the center of the stage
both as regards demand and strength
OF prices, finished products of the lat
ter responding to insistent demand in
higher range of values for many
products, which, however, have not
gained proportionately to the advance
In the cruder forms. Cotton continues
draggy and there is practical unani-
nifty in the reports that payments
kaFe as vet not shaken of the lethargy
OF winter. Money is easy, despite ac-
tive stock speculation, and prediction
Of high rates to come later in the pres
ent season. The usual measures of
speculative and distributive trade vol
ume all point to marked expansion
over year ago. February bank clear
tngs have never been exceeded in that
month.
