ENGLAND's REDUCED WINE BILL
Big Restaurant Company Finds Tea
 Is Hurting Its Profits.

The remarkable extent to which tea is taking the place of wine in Eng land was indicated at the lamentful annual meeting of a great London company, Spiers X Pond. limited, which operates stores, hotels, restau' rants, places of amusement, etc.
 The bad showing for the year was explained by the steady falling of in the consumption of alcoholic drinks.
 In 20 years, while the population of the country has increased by 10000 900, the consumption of wine and spir- its has fallen off by $55, 100000. and the consumption of beer in propor- ton.
 At one restaurant in single even ing only single bottle of champagne was ordered, while d few years ago p or 90 would have been required
 The golden stream of profits, 1t was lugubriously said, now flows from the teapot rather than the wine bottle. The railway restaurants have special ly suffered

POWER OF THE IMAGINATION.
Many Suffer from MaIadies Which ex
 st Only in Their Minds.

Medical papers have just been tell ing us of still more wonderful cures of non-existent maladies. Burke al ways fancied that he had something in his throat, and was held by some to have shortened his days by the drastic treatment to which he suo- mitted himself for his imaginary oo' structiOn.
 What wonder, then, that traVeler in Abyssinia, seeing one of his native porters bitten by a serpent, should find the man writhing in agony and with every symptom of snake poison ing? The man must have Nay. he really appeared poisoned With Spartan courage he hacked 0n his hand with knife, and though he lacked antiseptics, straightway recov- cred
 When the caravan came acres doctor the hero showed to the latter his mutilated stump and the serpent which had bitten him. The doctor applauded the courage and WIS dom of the man, but confided to the latter's master that the mutilation need not have been undergone-the snake was harmless Imagination had made the native believe himself all most poisoned unto death

Civic Pride, Indeed.

"Civic pride" said Lincoln Steffens, the noted reform writer, 'is all very well in it's way. Humility, though, and discomfort usually lead to better things than pride and complacency do. and whenever l hear any man boasting overmuch about his city's excellence. think of the civic pride of an old resident of Peebles.
 "To this old man, who regarded Peebles as a finer town than Paris, a copy of Shakespeare works was once loaned The old man read the i'm mortal plays for the first time. He enjoyed them nightly, and, on being asked what he thought of them. he slapped his knee and said in loud, enthusiastic voice:
 They're fine. They're glorious. They far surpassed all my expecta- tions. Why sir, there are not 20 men in Peebles who could have written those plays

There will be fifty-three Sundays

There will be fifty-three Sundays this year, and the same thing will noc occur again in no years. This extra Sunday can be utilized in attending church, calling on your best girl, reading the scrip lures, playing with the children, or some other way. One hundred and ten years from this date you will probably be paying the penal ty for the manner ill which you chose to spend this extra Sabbath.
 The above item, which went the rounds of nearly every paper in the state last year, found its way into the columns of the Beebe News, as an original item, last week. In the first place, there will be but hfty-two Sundays in this year. There were fifty -th1ee Sundays in 1905, because the year began and ended on Sunday. In the second place, no years will not elapse before this occurs again for there will be fifty three Sundays in the year 1911, and in every other year in which New Year s day occurs on Sunday.

H.4 TERHIORkS AND REAL
 E.ST4TE T4LUES.

In the articles discussing the waterworks question, which have been printed i'll these columns re- gently, we have sought to impress upon the people of Conway the value of waterworks as. "a protection against the two most dreaded evils which assaii them-fire and dis ease.
 We endeavored to show that the city could afford to spend as much as SS7, 500 to install waterworks as a guard against fire alone, that amount representing the annual saving on fire insurance premiums, capitalized at six per cent, the ln- terest at which money for the i'm provement could easily be bor- rowed
 The value of waterworks as a protection to the city's health oi course cannot be estimated i'll dol lars and cents. III health and deaths cost money, but they cost what is infinitely more than money. We cannot capitalize the value ot good lives that may be saved. One can only think what he would be willing to sacrifice, how much he would be willing to expend, to prevent the death or prolong the life of one of his own family, to form any idea as to what water works would be worth in this re spect.
 But let Us consider ot the benefit of waterworks in enhancing the
The log cabin Democrat., 1906-10-18

value of property i'll the city. Any improvement made ;.pon a given piece of property is supposed to add just as much as, If not more, to the value of the property than the cost of the improvement. If a room is added to a residence at cost of S2oo, the owner, If he de- sired to sell, would require at least S2oo more for the property than before the improve ment was made. And just what such an improve ment would mean to an individual property, waterworks would mean to the whole city.
 No one questions that with a system of waterworks and sewer age, real estate in Conway would increase enormously in value It would increase because the growth of the city would be twice or thrice as fast; more people would move here from other places, and would be willing to pay more for property here. Manufacturing industries, which are now impossible to se- cure, could be located here, if waterworks were installed. In every way real estate would be made more valuable.
 But how much? Many are will ing to assert that in few years 1t would amount to fifty per cent. A more conservative estimate would perhaps be twenty-five per cent. But let us admit, for the sake of argument, that waterworks will increase the value of property only ten per cent, or tenth. Now the total assessed valuation of real property in the city (not including the several additions outside the city limits), according to the as sess1nent of Ioo6, is, in round numbers, S3S5, 900. It is gener- ally accepted that this amount rep resents not more than forty per cent of the actual value of the prop erty. But we will grant that the as sessment is on an average basis of fifty per cent. This would give us S77o, 900 as the actual value of Conway real estate. If, then, was terworks will add even only ten per cent to the value of our prop erty s77,ooo could be expended such an improvement without cost ing the property owners a cent, be- cause they would get value re- ceived for the amount they would have to pay for waterworks in the increased value of their property.
 Thus, it would seem, that, aside from the benefit to the city's health, waterworks would be worth S87, 500 in the saving of fire insurance, and $77,ooo in the en- hancement of real estate values, making a total of $G64 500 that we

THE CAUSE OF THE CR/1. 4.

Lust, liquor and lawlessness" is the alliterative caption of an editorial in last weeks Western Christian Advocate, strongly of crime in Arsenta, and pointing to the first two of these evils as the cause of the last.
 :" Argenta, our neighbor north of the river, has been a dark and bloody ground for some days, says the Advocate" -Four weeks ago saloon quarrel between a white man and a negro concerning a lewd negress eliminated in the killing of the negro. At the in- quest race rancor and personal grievances resulted in the wound ing of white man and the death of negro. Three weeks later the kinsmen of the negro from ambush assassinated a kinsman of the white slayer. The escaped. Try ing to capture them the posse dy- namited the business house of the assassins. The innocent families of the assassins were driven from their homes at night and their houses burned. A negro merely suspected of complicity was lynched. The police endeavored to keep the peace. The mayor, who had been a friend to the sa- looms, and had long permitted them to violate the law, ordered them temporarily closed. The city council has considered an ordi- nance to close the wine rooms where men and women, white and black, have been wont to meet and carouse. Another negro, disarmed in the morning, was mur- dered in saloon again opened.
 All good people deplore these tragedies. If serious difficulties occur, they can be directly trace able to lust, liquor and lawless leaders. The saloon and the brothel breed anarchy. They are at the bottom of race riots. They pay a few tainted dollars into the public treasury, and the life and property of all are imperiled. Solve the race problem by shutting the saloons and dives, and preach ing to both races the gospel of peace and good will as proclaimed by Jesus of Nazareth. May God save Us from further folly and car nival of crime.

could afford to expend. Without any definite estimates at hand, we venture to assert that complete system of waterworks and sewerage can be installed in the city of Con- way for less than half of this amount. Doesn't 1t look like a paying investment

HAWTHORNE BUDS.

Hawthorne buds are known among English children as "bread and cheese" and are sometimes eaten by them. They have, however, poisonous qualities, due to the pres ence of calcium oxalate, and the other day girl at Penrith died after eating some.
