THE BARBECUE
 AT DUMAS Attended by Large Crowds From Desha, Lincoln, Jef. ferson and Surrounding Counties.
CANDIDATES SPOK
Congressman Robinson and Acting Governor PindalI Also Among the ,Speakers-A Happy Occasion Long to Be Remembered.

The barbecue at Dumas yesterday was one of the best attended affairs of the kind that has been held in any of the neighbOring counties in many years, and everything was prepared in most elegant style for the entertain ment of the visitors. There were at least thousand in attendance, but there was food and refreshments for three or four thousand more, so boun- tifully had the citizens of Dumas pre- pared for their guests. The affair was attended by a large number of people from this city, among whom were County Judge James Gould, Charles Reynolds, Attorney Irving Reinberger, Creed Caldwell, Couhty Clerk Jesse Core, Gus Waterman and family, Miss Victoria Harrell, w. T. Young, w. D. Jones, T. Havis Nixon and many oth- CTS.
 There was speaking by the threa candidates for prosecuting attorney nf the Eleventh Judicial District, by Con- gressman Joe T. Robinson of the Sixth Congressional District, and Governor Pindall.
 Congressman Joe T. Robinson spoke on the Good to Be Derived from the Drainage System," and he showed in an admirable way, the many benc- fits to be derived from the work, which has been started by the many drainage districts throughout the sur- rounding counties. He said that this draining of the rich Arkansas and Mississippi bottom land, which is well known to be as fertile as there is any, where, is the greatest thing that has ever happened for the advancement and prosperity of Arkansas. He gave his hearty approval of the steps taken by the Federal Government and espec- ially the work which has been started by the Mississippi River Valley and Drainage Commission.
 Acting Governor Pindall addressed the crowd and highly complimented the way in which the citizens of Dumas had arranged for their reception. He said that never had he been at a bar becue where things were more elab- orately arranged, and where everyone enjoyed themselves more.
 There were two games of baseball played by rival teams, and the day passed off most pleasantly. People were present from Lincoln, Jefferson, and Desha counties and they were all heartily welcomed by the qhospitabl citizens of Dumas.
 Congressman Robinson and Acting Governor Pindall spoke in the morn ing, and the candidates for prosecut- ing attorney, Messrs. Young, Jones and Nixon spoke in the afternoon. Each speaker received close attention and liberal applause.
 Altogether the day was most pleas antly spent and will long be remem- bered by all fortunate enough to bo present.

Tho LandIady Wrote Correctly and
Was Not to Blame.
A London gentleman advertised for
apartments at a fashionable watering
place and received many replies. He
pitched upon one chiefly because 1t
mentioned splendid "sea view," and,
as 1t was not convenient for him TO
leave his business to see the apart
ments, he closed with the offer by
post, sending substantial deposit.
When the time came for him to take
his holiday he duly arrived at his
destination and was surprised to find
that not a glimpse Of the sea was OBJ
tainable from any window Of his
apartments.
81 thought you said there was a
splendid sea view?" he said angrily
to the landlady.
$50 there is, SIR" replied the land
lady, drawing his attention to picture
on the wall, really excellent painting
Of the sea.
"Why, yOu-er-er- What do you
mean by such a swindleY' gasped the
gentleman. II meant view Of tht
real sea-"
"Oh, did you, sir?" coolly said the
landlady, III you will refer to my
letter you will see that l distinctly
stated there was splendid sea view
In' the drawing room. Had meant q
view Of the real sea 1 should have said
there was a splendid sea view from
the drawing room. 1 cannot think how
an educated gentleman, as you evil
IDENTIFY are, could have made such an
egregious error!'--London Tit-Bits.

SHOPPING IN GREENLAND.
East Coast Natives Make Trips Last.
inu Four Years.

ing Four Years.
When the Greenlander of the east
coast goes a-shopping, it is no light
matter Of a day or a week. The snow
hut holder Of the far north, ON finding
that his supplies are running low, packs
his wife and family. He keeps on
walking, summer and winter, for it
takes him anywhere from one to two
full years to reach a settlement where
there are shops. Whole colonies some
times Join In these pilgrimages from
their northern dwelling places, camp
ing by the way as weather and inclina-
ton permit. One might suppose that
such protracted Journeys would be fol-
lowed by long stays at the place of
business. Not so The Eskimo spends
little more time over the shopping for
which he has come so far than does q
woman bargain hunter at the periodical
drapery sales with us. Sometimes two
hours finish the transactions, and the
purchaser will start on his long return
journey northward. The fine bear and
fox skins which he has brought with
him are bartered for secondhand
clothes, tobacco, old iron and many
articles not only valueless, but actually
Injurious to the buyer. A life which
can afford four years shopping trip
now and again does not strike one as
overstrenuous.-Lond Scraps.

WING SHOOTING.
IL Cannot BE Taught to Hunters by
Reading Books.

Wing shooting can no more be theo.
retically taught than can riding, skat-
ing, sailing a boat, milking a COW or
playing the violin. Practice and perse-
verance in this, as In all field sports,
can alone make perfect, while the most
persistent effort even then often fails
to make q ''crack shot" Certain rules,
however, must govern the beginner
which, If observed, will materially aid
him in becoming an expert.
When q novice takes the field for
game he is very apt to become fius-
tered, or ratified" at the critical mo-
ment when the bird is flushed. and
then he will stare, open mouthed, and
wonder how it happened. This often
occurs in the field, and the tyro invari-
ably has some plausible excuse to Of
fer. His ''gun was not cooked" he
''stubbed his toe just as the bird rose"
or some equally weak explanation is
made, or else he lays all the blame on
his dogs, whose thoughts, could they
but express them, it would be interest
ing to interpret.
The best wing shooters do not close
one eye in aiming, nor do they follow
the bird in its flights with the muzzle
of the gun. but closing one eye is ad-
mittedly better than tightly shutting
both, as many young would be sports
men have been known to do.-James
w. Dixon in Recreation.
