A FINGER-B0WL STORY
ACTUALLY HAPPENED
There was a scene in the dining
car of The Pioneer limited on the
Milwaukee Road Thursday night
worthy OF a place in an American
comedy, and yet serious enough
to afford Clyde Fitch material
for an act of drama. When the
Pioneer left for Chicago, there
were millionaires and business
men from Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul seated at the tables
awaiting service. Col. Dan Healy
the vetran dining car conductor
of the train, was there also,
while out on the vestibule, peer
ing through the plate glass door
were three construction foremen,
returning from a week on the
road between Chicago and Wads-
worth.
The three constructionists
placed their hands on the knob
OF the door alternately and finally
one OF them, taunted by the 9TH
er, opened the door and entered
the diner, followed by his COM
rades. Then the curtain rose on
the play.
Approaching Col. Healy, the
foremost of the horney-handed
road builders extended his braw-
ny arm and apologetically i'll
quired if he and his partner could
''secure a bite if they had the
money"
"Sure, Nike" said Conductor
Dan with a hearty laugh. ''Come
on in
Before reaching the interior of
the eLimited'spalatial diner, how
ever, the leader OF the men who
build railroads tapped Conductor
Dan on the shoulder, and con-
fidentially whispered in his ear.
':Areyou an officer OF the road?'
"Sure, Mike" was the ready
reply OF Host Healy, whose eye
is ever attentive to the guests of
the Milwaukee Roads hotel on
wheels.
$50 are l." again whispered the
dust brown toiler. II live out
here at the hub OF the universe,
but this is the first time l ever
had a bite to eat on one OF the
company's trains -
"Will anyone object to us?"
timidly negotiated the other
members OF the trio.
Not while I'm around. Every
body in this car has worked for
a living as you and l do, and
some of them are still doing it.
They re not all stockholders in
the road. Not yet. You're per-
fectly welcome. Come on in and
be seated. Here's a waiter for
you"
They fumbled their hats. They
stroked their foreheads and they
perused the bill OF fare which was
handed them by the waiter.
They read:
Lobster a la Newburg
Roman Punch
Soft Shell Crabs
Shrimp Salad Lobster Salad
"Say,' said the smaller OF the
party, ''let's get some OF those
clans with the small necks, some
ham and eggs, some Eaters and
call it off. That's good enough
for me.''
As the waiter passed Healy,
the latter remarked, "Give it to
them right, and bring them some
sliced tomatoes and strawberries.
"Just look how Dan dressed
that table over there, T" remarked
q Milwaukee banker.
''He has & great eye for color

with sliced tomatoes and straw.

artistic" ("
When the railroad builders had
finished the waiter had brought
each a cut-glass finger bowl.
They eyed each other suspicious.

Clarendon Light Plant Sold
 Out.

Judge J. s. Thomas this week sold his electric light plant and waterworks to the White River Coal & Ice Co.,. the latter concern being composed q T. T. Boteman. Jay Wheelock, Geo. P. Reid and ]. B. Stephens. The consideration was $5. 900.
 The light company was organized about six years ago. In the beginning it was owned by ten or dozen stock holders. but Judge Thomas acquired stock from time to time until about a year ago the whole property belonged to him.
 The plant represents an investment of about $l6.O0O. Judge Thomss disposed of it at sacrifice because much of the direction of its affairs fell upon him and proved source cf worry and annoyance Clarendon Sun.

Monroe County Good Roads.

"The movement now on foot to memorialize the forthcoming ilesisr lature for laws which will permit counties or districts to vote "certifi- cates of indebtedness and thus raise money for road construction ought to meet with the approval of every pro- sr.ssive rer5on. This country can never have good roads unless the money is borrowed 10 build them with. A good road cannot be made except by putting stone or gravel upon it. and stone or gravel costs mint of money. if Monroe county could borrow money to put good pike between Clarendon and Brinkley.

Prominent Negroes Talk.

At Argenta last week at gather ing of prominent negroes. among the speakers were P. A. Knowles. D. D. Prof. Stout of Little Rock and Prof. J. E. Knox of Brinkley. Dr.. Knowles in part said:
 Every negro boy and girl should be taught to work and to work hard. Whip idIers from among us as the be. stings out the drone. Idlers pro- duce crime and criminals. We must ask nothing but chance to work and to be paid for our work. Every hon. crab le negro drayman. servant girl. washerwom an. mechanic. hotel boy. barber. porter who does his duty in an intelligent. competent. transvorthy manner are worthy and honorable cit izens. No honest labor Is dishon- orable. It is more blessed to serve
 
 than to be served in any walk of life. The servant girls hood and apron above an honest heart and educated brain are as honorable as the college cap and gown. Let the negro race carry the pick in one hand and the olive branch of peace in the other
 "l believe that there should be a friendly relation existing between the two races here. and there must be. Along social lines we must be sepa- rate and distinct. but for the building up of our common country. we should all unite and make the world better. Give me nothing because am black. and no one can fail to see that am black man. and deny me nothing be- cause am black. but get out of my way and will make living for my self and family.
 Prof. Stout said in part: "I be- lieve that the Lord wants that we shall get together along racial lines. and all fight sin and the devil. 1 be- lieve that we should unite in a cru- sade against idlers as has been said. and make them go to work. The ne- gro should be educated along practical lines There should be no special education for the negro. but he should be taught above others how to work. We have too many idlers and ioafers in this country. This Is the cause of all the trouble 7
 Prof. ]. E. Knox. A. M., president of the Brinkley Academy. and one of the most noted negro educators in the State. addressed the association this morning along practical lines. He was glad to see 50 many negro boys and girls in the school room. He be- Iieved that the greatest battle in this , country to be fought was the battle oi ignorance. "I have never found my color against me. he said. ''and as long as 1 respect myself 1 get respect from others. You will find that there Is no trouble between the better class Of negroes. II Is that ignorant. low class of both races which causes all the trouble

STATE POLITICS ALREADY

Notwithstanding the fact that the new State officials, recently elected. have not yet taken their offices. there Is talk of who is going to be candi- dates two years from now. as will be seen from the following which appear ed in the Little Rock Democrat few days ago:
 Although Governor-elect John s. Little. of Sebastian County, has not yet taken his seat as governor Of the State. many rumors. are gaining ground regarding the campaign two years hence, and the politicians at the state house are already talking about who will be the candidate for some of the high offices at the hands of the people. Dame Rumor" has 1t that Governor Little may be persuaded to announce for United States senator in opposition to Senator James P. Clarke. and if such be the case, there will be more than chance for several candidates for governor at the next general election. Nothing but rumors are current at this time, but 1t is gen. orally known that John s. Little is one of the most popular men in the State. and if he announces for United States senator the incumbent will have a hard fight
 Should this happen, the office of governor will again be sought for by the politicians. The election of Gov ernor Davis to third term as gover- nor, rather broke into the peaceful Democratic arrangement of two years for each man, and should Governor Little become a candidate for the senate he will have only served one term as governor. Prominent among the future possibilities for the office Of governor are mentioned Judge w. M. Kayanaugh of Little Rock. Hon. J. H. Hinemon of Philadelphia. the re- tiring superintendent of public instruc- tion. and ]. W. Crockett. former sec retary of state and recently elected railroad commissioner Others are talked of but these three men have been repeatedly mentioned by scores of friends. Should all the rumors prove to be true. the next election for state officers promises to be the most interesting one in many years. Gov ernor-elect Little has not been inter- viewed on the subject. and all the ru- mors came from men who want to see him in the senate of the United States, standing up for Arkansas as he did so many years in the lower house of Con- gress."

Up to within recent period great efforts have been made to secure religious education for chil- dren but this has declined in the last few years Fer faps this disposition may in measure be accounta- ble for our decline in religion The people have lost particular interest in the Bible.
