Mrs. Nation Strikes Lid.

The lid" Sunday worked two
ways in Hot Springs, judging
from a little experience Mrs.
Carrie Nation had in an effort to
get a package of hatchets out of
the express office. Mrs. Nation
sent down for the package, but
her request for it was refused.
She thereupon telephoned to the
express office and asked why the
package had not been delivered
to the man. The express clerk
politely informed Mrs. Nation
that the lid" was on and no ex-
press packages were delived on
Sunday.
Mrs. Nation patiently waited
until Monday, but her sale of
hatchets Sunday afternoon at her
lecture was restricted,

VAN BUREN
FRUIT TRAINS.
Fast Trains Running 1000 Miles in
"a Hours Start May lst.
These Trains Will Deliver Strawberries in Car
Load Lots in the Large Cities-Very Ben
eficia to Berry Growers

What promises to be the fast
fruit train ever run from any
fruit growing section will be
started from Van Buren, about
May l, or when the shipment Of
strawberries in car lots begin.
The WeIls-Fargo Express Com
pany has arranged for this train
to leave Van Buren at 6 p. M,
18 minutes in advance Of the
Frisco's northbound Cannonball,
and is scheduled to reach Min
neapOlis and St. Paul at O'Clock
the second morning, covering the
1000 miles in "a hours, the fast
est time now made between the
two points by any passenger
train.
The Fells-Fargo company will
use its own handsomely finished
refrigerator cars in this train in
stead of attaching them to regu-
lar passenger trains, as has been
the custom heretofore. Each
train will consist of from three
to eight cars and will be drawn
by the fastest passenger engines
owned by the Friscoe system.
The fruit shippers are demand
ing the fastest trains possible
and have learned from expert
ence that they can well afford to
pay the additional charges for
these fast express trains, as the
saving of eight, ten or twenty
twenty hours time in the move
ment of a car of perishable fruit
amounts to much more than the
advanced charges besides the
fruit arrives on the market in
much better condition than when
transported in the refrigerator
freight cars that are made up in
to freight trains.
The retirement of the Armour
refrigerator car line from the
Frisco and the introduction Of
the Santa Fee cars in its stead
has already been followed by a
reduction of $40 per car in re-
frigeration charges and this,
with a small reduction in f.eight
charges, means a saving to the
fruit shippers from Van Buren
alone of more than so, 900 on
this seasons shipments. The i'm
portance of northwest Arkansas
as fruit shipping district is be-
ginning to be appreciated at last
by the transportation companies,
and with lower charges for re-
frigeration and transportation.
together with an improved train
service, will give the fruit grow
ing industry new impetus.

fathers pity It's, it's true" The
world listens, breathes hard,
strikes home, utterly oblivious
of the fact that Christ Him
self was none the less a God, the
perfection of manhood, full Orbed,
rounded, resplendent, for the

fled on just such testimony.
1t is too much for a sensible
man to expect that the ears of
men will ever be closed entirely
against that class Of old, who
have no base to bear their ris-
ing fame, but that Of the fallen
ruins of anOther's name. It
may be true that worth is but a
character to be mankind's dis
tinguished martyr, but it is char
liable to hope not, and pray such

fullest consciousness the truth Of
what was said long since by one

and vices of the human heart.
He who ascends to mountain tops

A Mistake.

Trenton, N. j., April 8.-A
mistake in the baplizing of
child may cause an act of the
legislature to be passed changing
the name of James Edward Nc
Laughlin Jr. to Hazel McLaugh-
lin.
The mistake was caused by the
doctor remarking to the grand
mother that the baby was a fine
chap. The grandmother, who
had the privilege of naming the
youngster, called him after the
father. The mistake was not
discovered until the child was
taken home from church.
The grandmother fastened
back to the church to have the
corrected, but Father
Nc Kean, who christened the
girl, said he was powerless either
to rebaptize the baby or change
the record. An act of the legis-
lature is the only way in which
the error can be remedied.

or the other, or both, and that is
the consciousness Of knowing
himself worthy of respect-the
consciousness of manhood real,
truth and honor unstained. With
out this throbbing sentinel spirit
alert and ever watchful, life is
not to be desired. Relieved of
the level of manhood, is all van
ity and tinsel and fluff. The real
man feels it is better to know
himself worthy Of confidence

rels of victory and feel within
his heart that he is unworthy of

Use the Soldiers to Garrison Towns
In Order to Restore Confidence and
Prevent Any Possibility Of the Fac
tions C~lashing.
Havana, Oct. 6.-Governor Taft
says that he has no intention OF turn
Ing back any portion Of the expedi-
ton of $500 regular troops ordered to
Cuba. He feels that this number Is
needed as a ~precaution against future
trouble. Although he does no pay
serious attention to the rumors OF OPP
position to the disarmament of the
insurgents he says that the troops to
be sent here will be sufficient to fully
garrison the towns and will establish
confidence among the ~disbanded In
surgents that they will not be imposed
upon by the municipal police or rural
guards. The return of General Pine
Guerra to Pinar del Rio Is expected to
aid materially in winding up matters
In that province. The question of
pride as to which side shall lay down
their arms frst is causing some diff
nculty in Ptnar del Rio, as elsewhere.
Even the municipal police have been
temporarily disbanded in some In
stances As a %precaution against
clashes.

lions 10 believed by Mr.. Taft to be Of
far more Importance than getting
them to lay down their arms. although
this does not mean that the disarma-
ment commission Is not vigorously
pressing the demand for the disarma-
ment of the insurgents. When all the
insurgent forces are disbanded the
marauders can be dealt with as In
dividuals and will not be able to cloak
their d~epredations under the pretense
of foraging for the rebel camps.
The government volunteers are cir
culating a rumor that the insurgents
are maintaining their organizations.
