The Questions They Ask.

The capacity of the average small boy for asking questions is practically unlimited, but it is doubtful whether more searching inquiries have ever been made by a boy than those pro pounded by youngster to his father who had taken him for q steamer trip. Here is q partial list;
 'Is that water down there any wetter than the water in the Atlantic ocean:''
 What makes the water wet?"
 How many men could be drowned in water as deep as that?'
 "Is that big man With the gold but tons on his coat the father of all those men who do whatever he tells them to-"
 "Where do all those soapsuds behind the boat come from?''
 Could train go as fast on the wa ter as this boat?'-C Chums.

Mad dogs do not attack people "When a dog has the rabies," said a physician, The has lost control of his body, and what he does is mechanical His jaws snap involuntarily, and if he encounters any object, whether ani- mate or inanimate. he is likely to bite it. But mad dog does not attack as does an angry dog. He does not pick out victim or use any strategy. For this reason dogs suffering from rabies are less dangerous than Is supposed. No grown person need fear them, for all he has to do Is to get out of the way. The dog will not chase him. Of course, young children are in danger, as they do not knew how to dodge the brute"

REV. PADDOCK
 ON BAPTISM"
Preached to Barge Congregation at the Christian Church Sunday Niellt-Subiect for Monday
 Night.

At the Christian church Sunday evening Reverend J. L. Ifaddocl1 preached to a large audience on the subject of Baptism. He used large chart and set of cards show ing the action and design of bap- tism. and commented on the fol- lowing Scripture. which was read by various ones in the congrega- ton:
 Matt 3:46; Mark 1:4; Luke 7:293O; Acts 2:37:3S; Mark 16: 15-16; 1 Peter 3:21; John 3:3-5; Matt. 3:13-16.
 The speaker said that he would be glad to have any one in the house quote passage of Scripture where baptism was referred to in connection with salvation that would show that pardon was prom ised before the ordinance of bap- tism was administered. He also gave the definition of the words sprinkle, pour and baptize and said that they were derived from Greek words, each one of which had diff ferent meaning and therefore could not mean the same thing. He also said that it was a historical fact that for hundreds of years immer- sion was practiced by the church and that sprinkling was first intro duced by the Catholics as matter of convenience for the sick and that afterward other churches voted it In at their various conventions and assemblies, many of them having hard fight to carry their point and introduce it. Wesley contended for immersion and all men of all denominations acknowledge that Immersion is baptism, even the catholic priests acknowledging it, but at the same time saying that they changed it because they had a right to do so.
 Monday evening Reverend Had JOCKS subject will he Where Shall Spend Eternity?" This is a sub- Ject which appeals to all and large attendance is expected at this service.
 The music is excellent and some- 'nlng special is promised by the choir for each evening this week.;: The public is cordially invited to: attend these services. :" "

YOUNG NAN
 DISAPPEARS Sam s1nilovitz Is Lost
 While Travelling to Pine

 Making Effort to Find Young Man
 for His Aunt Who Lives Here,
4 MYSTRY ABOUT IT

Sam Smilovitch, ' years old a brother of Mrs. H. Rose of No. 216 Louisiana street, this city, has mys- teriously disappeared and his rela- tives here are greatly alarmed over his safety. The young man van- ished as if swallowed up by the earth while on a railroad train coming from St. Louis to this city, where lie was to make his home with his sister.
 Mrs. Rose was almost prostfated at police headquarters this morn- ing when she went there with her husband to solicit the assistance of the local police department in her search for her brother.
 1t seems that Smilovitz left St. Louis Tuesday for Pine Bluff. He was expected here the following day, but he did not arrive. While his brother-in-law, H. Rose of this city, was making inquiry relative to his whereabouts. Friday he re- celved a telephone message from Walnut Ridge, Ark, telling him that Smllovitch was there in the care of officers of the law He i'm mediately left for that place to ac- company the young man here. Tpon his arrival at Walnut Ridge Satur- day he was informed that the the sheriff had taken the young man to Memphis. Rose was about to leave for Memphis when the sheriff, according to Rose, returned to Hoxie and informed Rose that ms brother-in-law was in Memphis. He also stated that he had given the young man 50 cents for his breakfast, after arriving at Mem- phis. He gave no satisfactory ex- planation of the whereabouts of smilovitz, Rose says. nor did he tell why he took the young man from Hoxie. Rose returned here to care for his wife, who is almost erazed with grief over the disap- pearance of her brother Rose says enc of the officers at Hoxie threat ened to kill him unless he gave him money and that he was forced to give the man $4.5O before he sue ceeded in escaping from him.
 Efforts are being made by Rose to locate his brother-in-law in Memphis. The young man has never travelled before and being un- able to speak English intelligently, it is believed that he was put off the train at Walnut Ridge by mis- take. ss..u

PINNEY SAYS s,'. 'sa~'ss HE EWILI CONTEST

Representative w.sB: Pinney ot this city says he will probably contest the appointment of John E. Martineau of Little Rock, who was recently named by Acting Governor x. O. Pindall to fill the position of assistant adjutant general of the State Guard. The job pays $125 per month. Pinney was one of the applicants for the place and he claims that Pindan promised him the appointment. The naming of Martineau will. be contested on the ground that he is not a member of the State Guard. Martineau is a young attorney in Little Rock and one of Pindall's lieutenants. He was college chum of the acting gover- nor.

The Financier says:
The official statement of the New York
Associated banks showed, as the most
notable feature, a further expansion of
$25, S47. 800 in loans, following the unpre-
cedented gain of $57, 00a, 900 recorded in the
previous week, making the total increase
in this item. during the fortnight, $62-
$4,000; deposits also were further aug
mented last week by $500, 600, and the ag-
gregate for the fortnightly period was
81, $4,000; In this interval cash increased
little more than s4,Oe000O
The expansion in loans here noted was
largely the result of the recent shifting
hither from London, to take advantage of
the low rates ruling in our money market,
OF large amounts of loans which had been
placed at the British capital on American
stock collateral. Such expansion was
also chiefly due last week to Sthe fact
that owing to the extremely low rates for
money at call trust companies quite gen
orally left on deposit their. balances with
the banks undisturbed instead of loan
ing their funds at rates at least no bet
ter than those that were paid by the
banks on trust company balances
The banks sought to employ these in
creased balances through liberal lOaning
at current rates on CALL and hence the
remarka bic increase in the volume of such
loans. The cash gain reported by the
weeks statement was S2477, 800, which
amount closely agreed with the majority
Of the estimates that were based upon
the traceable movements of money! Ow-
ing TO the increase of S26 81. 500 in de-
pOsits the required reserve was augment
ed Sc, 625, 400 deducting from which the
gain in cash, as above, left 81 14S.1O0 as
the decrease in surplus reserve to Sill

posits, less. those of S31012,3 800 public
funds, the surplus is s19. 507, 900

BROKERS AWAIT
FUTURE EVENTS
Very Little Business Being
Done in Wall Street These
April Days.
BANK STATEMENT WAS BAD
MoNEY OUTLOOK FELT TO BE
OBSCURE.

New York. April 20.-There was no per-
ceptibIe current in the price movement or
stocks today until the prices stiffened
slightly with few of the speculative fea-
lures advancing. The Volume OF dealings
was Insignificant The unfavorable bank
statement was anticipated and was ig-
Eored. In fact. the weakening bank po-
sition in New York is accepted as an IN
eek of actual relaxation OF money co1di-
lions, since the expansion of New YORK
bank loans is due to the taking over OF
loans from interior banks which find GO
s-ttraction in the prevailing low level OF
interest rates In New YORK. Trust COM
panies are also out Of the local loan mar
ket and the clearing house banks are left
10 meet the demand for credits and to
accept the diminished interest returns
The prevailing ease of the local money
market is having the effect also of
prompting the paying off of maturing
foreign obligations, as was shown by the
firmness of the foreign exchange market
today. The declining money rates which
continued in London today do not seem
to effect the progress of these remit
tances 10 pay foreign loans. The gain
previous estimates. Prices of bonds
showed more slight Improvement, but
business iD that department was pro-
foundly dull. Scales of bonds, $4,000.
Dealings at the stock exchange this
week have been almost wholly in profess
siona1 hands and have been of a rapidly
diminishing scale. The appearance of the
market approached semi-stagnation at
times, the room traders themselves de
Eisting from the apparently futile at
Tempts to arouse any outside interest.
One small failure by a stock exchange
house, while not important in itself, was
regarded as significant OF the chances of
the severe decline in prices, 1t goes with
cut saying that the market must bear
the weight of future efforts to repair
damage and to adjust crippled affairs,
which were able to Withstand the imme-
diate results of the break in prices, while
awaiting a more favorable opportunity
for reduction of burdens. This condition
gives credence to all sorts of rumOrs of
financial er1bacrassments and makes the
market sensitive.
The present mood of the speculation
seems to be a waiting one, with a de-
sire for light upon the course Of future
events before cmbarking on new ven
lures The money outlook is felt to be
obscure and is the subject of keen scru-
tiny. Following last weeks record loan
expansion of the New York banks there
has Oeen a perceptible hardening of the
money market this week
The bond market has been dull and
sluggish and the unGertone has been
heavy on that account. United States
bonds were unchanged on call during the
week
