Diagonally across the frame are span wires, considerable number of dishes being thus accommodated in con- paratiyely small space. As the span wires touch the dishes only In one spot, there is nothing to prevent thor ough cleansing, the drainage being perfect. The dishes may be washed or partially washed before being in- serted in the rack, or, as some prefer, they can be placed In the rack exactly as they come from the table and then cleansed by pouring boiling water over them.

A Remarkable Boy,


 The most remarkable instance of human beings rapid growth and matur- ity, and subsequent decline, Is one re- corded by the French Academy In 1729. It Is that of boy, whose voice changed at the age of 5, whose height at 6 was 5 feet inches, and whose beard was tten grown, making him appear to be 30 years old. He had great physical strength and could easily life and carry bag of grain weighing 200 pounds. His decline was as rapid as his growth. His hair and beard turned gray when he was 8 years old; at 10. he tottered in his walk, hls teeth fell out and his hands became palsIed. He died at 12, with every sign of extreme old age.

Frankie's Lesson.

Frankie, you may tell me what you wish first" said Miss Barrows, the pri- mary teacher, as three of her small pupils raised their hands at the same time one Friday afternoon.
 Please may sit In Tommy Law rence's seat this afternoon" asked Frankie, In a strange little voice. "The sun Is hot here."
 The two other little boys whose hands had been In the air quickly drop ped them, looking very much surprised and confused.
 Why, yes," answered Miss Barrows, but her tone was little doubtful. The sun certainly was very bright where Frankie sat
 Frankie settled himself in his new seat, but he did not feel half so happy as he supposed he would when the GOV eted privilege had been granted him. There was the most wonderful book in Tommy's desk! There were pictures of cowboys and Indians In it-and pl- rates! Tommy Lawrence was going to De pirate when he grew up-he had confined his ambition to them that morning when he brought the book to school.
 When he thought 1t over, he could not very well look at the pictures in that book without Miss Barrows seeing it, and If she saw it she would take 1t away, of course.
 This was the day the silver stars were given out. So far he had carried one home every Friday that term, and how proud his mother was to see the proof of her little sons good behavior l
 He did not dare look at that book, now he was so near 1t. Oh, how he did wish he had been content to sit at his own desk and walt until some other time to see those pirates!

ANOTHER STATEHOUSE ROW

Attorney General Kirby and State Agricultural Commissioner Guy B. Tucker are engaged in a warm newspaper controversy over the merits of the state convict farm in Lincoln county, which was threshed out by several legislative committees since the farm was. .pur- chashed by the state, several years ago. The penitentiary board held a meeting on the farm recently, and, when the attorney general re. turned to Little Rock, he stated that the farm was not worth more than half what the state paid for 1t. He based his opinion upon the in spection made by the board during it's visit. Now comes MT. Tucker, who asserts that MT. Kirby arrived at the farm at 1 D. m. ate his din- ner, and went fishing. He took with him, says MT. Tucker, a con vict to bait his hook and another to take his fish off, and returned at dark. Tbe next morning he left at , o'clock to resume his fishing expedition, with the same help, re- turned at 11:45, when the board meeting had been called at II o'clock, and immediately after adjournment of the board, ate his dinner and left for Little Rock. According to this state of facts, Mir. Tucker says that the attorney general is not competent to judge how much the farm is worth, or whether the state drove good bargain or not.

school work for the year just pass, ed. And with his great heart aglow with success that had at tended the work that had been done, and an earnest appeal for greater effort during the next year, he made wonderful appeal which 1 am certain gave each one great encouragement and increased their inthusiasm in the work.
 Then came Rev. Hugh Cork, of New York, with brilliant ad dress on Sunday school work. 1 wish 1 had space to recite every word he uttered. His address was something wonderful, indeed; and it did one's hearts good as he re- cited the great good that had been done by spiritual teaching in the Sunday school. Among the many good things, he said that he would not have a teacher in his Sunday school, which numbered 1,200 scholars, who did not know Jesus as pardoning savior and who could not testify to the saving love of God in their hearts.
 The secretary s report showed that there had been a total of S3, 150. 20 collected by the Sunday schools during the year, and pay ing all expenses there was a bal ance of S173.9O in the treasury.
 The next thing in order was the appointment of committees, anc your humble scribe was appointed on one of the committees. Bro Sidney Pickens was appointed as sistant secretary. w. k. RICE.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Delegate Tells Something of the Working of the Recent
 State Convention
To The Newark Journal

TO The NeWafK Journal
 Thinking perhaps your readers would like to read brief sketch of the proceedings of the State Sunday School Convention, about which l wrote something few weeks ago, l will endeavor to give you a sketch of the meeting.
 At o'clock all the Sunday schools of Fort Smith met at the Christina church, where the con vention was held, and formed a procession of several hundred and proceeded on a parade through the principal avenues of the city, each carrying banner with red cross on 1t, below which were the words, By This we Conquer, meaning by the cross of Christ we conquer the world, the flesh and the devil.
 This was a great scene and one to inspire our hearts with hope to see several hundred young people enlisted in the great work.
 At 7:30 o'clock the great con- vention was opened by the choir of 250 trained singers led by Prof. James, of Chicago, who insisted on the whole audience joining in chorus, which they did, making that great building roar with the praise of Goo in song. After sing ing several songs, at s D. m., Rev. John $. Tdenbum of the First Presbylerian church of Little Rock read some scripture and prayed very earnest prayer. Then there was a genuine Fort Smith welcome on behalf of the Sunday schools and churches, by W. II. Johnson and on behalf of the city by Hon. Geo. Sengel. In the course of his great welcome address Mir. Johnson said that all the churches and Sunday schools of the city rendered the conyen. tion a most hearty welcome for the great work they were doing to ele- vate the minds of the youths of our ldnd.
 In welcoming us on behalf of the city, MT. Sengel said, among other thing, that every good man and good woman in the city who desired to see their children grow up respectable, honorable, God fearing citizens, extended to us hearty welcome, but, said he, alas, there are some in this great city who do not welcome you to our midst.
 Those who would difle your noble young men by strong drink, and by gambling, and by debauch- cry of every kind do not welcome you. Those who would destroy the virture of your fair daughters and bring them down in disgrace and shame do not welcome you to our midst, for fear that you will strengthen the sentiment that is already in the hearts of all good people against such things. But l say every man who wants better times and better things for the rising generation welcomes you with all our heart.
 Bro. Frank Barrett made the responsive address in some we'll chosen words, which he alone is capable of doing, bringing down that great audience in one con- tinued round of applause.
 Then came the presidents an nual address by John k. Gregson, of Jonesboro, in which he review ed the progress of the Sunday
